Y'all know what time of y'all don't know y'all back a suit on, looking back the back down, giving them more like the milling buck things in its tubbs. Good it, Steve har listen to the mogether for study. I don't join join me, be doing me. Honey. You gotta turn you are you gotta turn to turn turn, You got to turn them out. Then turn the water. The water got me. Come come on your back that I sure will. Good morning everybody. You're listening to the voice, Come on dig me now. One and only Steve Harvey, man old man, got a radio show. Yeah, I do. God so big to me, man, I just have to tell you about it. I can't help it. It's rather obvious to me how big, how good God is. He's absolutely tremendous. He's off the chain. He on one, he'd be clowning, he'd be just showing out. Man. I'm just over here, just on receiving it. You know, man, I want to share something with you today. You know, if you're out there, start your mission today, Start your mission today? What are you waiting for? Why do we as people delay what we want or delay the process to begin what we want? Our hopes, our dreams, our desires. Why won't you start your mission today? Why don't we all decide together better? Yet? Let's just kill that, consume that just individually. Look, you're listening. You got something that you've been dreaming about. You got an ambition of yours that's not yet fulfilled. You got goals you haven't accomplished yet. You got dreams, aspirations. Everybody has them. Everybody's got them. Everybody's got something that's that's on the table that they haven't yet attacked yet. What are you waiting for? Start your mission today? Stop the procrastination now. The procrastination is only hurting you yourself. And if you and if you allow pratical excuse men, if you allow procrastination to set in, then that that allows then which is a weakness, you know, but that allows the devil then to just really do his thing. Because an idle mind is the devil's playground. So if you ain't working on your goal's, dreams, aspirations or visions, you're just waking up seeing how today gonna go? Or the devil he got plenty for you to do. See. But if you get your mind right on your goal and your focus and your purpose. Then you can go on about your business. Then when the distraction comes, you can catch yourself. Now, don't mean you ain't gonna fall privy or fall prey to some of your distractions, because you will, but you will have a goal in mind, an aspiration that makes you go hold on, man, I got to stay focused here. Of course, what I really want while I'm really trying to go the thing that I'm really after, this new little thing that's being introduced, this don't fit into the equation. Man. Let me keep it moving, or you may step off the line for a little while, you know. Like I said yesterday, the thing about God is he's so forgiving that if you get out of line, he'll hold your place. See that's the real cool thing. A lot of people to do that for you too. Like I said, if you're at the movie theater or you're an amusement park and you're in the line and you forget something, if you politely ask the person behind you, hey, man, I gotta run to my car left something, would you hold my place? Most people say, fine, you gotta go ahead, and when you come back, they don't have a problem. See. Your problem is is you want to get out the line, go do something, then come back and just get up in the line further up than you were, or cut somebody. Now you got a problem because see everybody looking at you now, like Roy Wall partner, where you come from. You know the line start back here. But see the thing with God is God don't do that. God don't say the line start back here. God holds your place. When you make a mistake and you fall off the line, God holds your place. But if you ain't got no dreams, aspiration, if you ain't got no place, what he holding for you? See, I mean he got a place for you, but you gotta come to him. See some people if well, here's what I'm saying. If you got a goal or aspiration, a dream, and you fall off track momentarily, you can get back to that because God knows where you're left off. Now you may have to accomplish a few more things since you stop for a long period of time, but God know where you left off. You can get back on track. I look, man, this dream of being on TV since I was a kid, and it got off track. Now it got off track. I just kept it as one of the dreams and in some real dog moments when it looked like it wasn't gonna happen. All I was hanging on too, was just the hope that one day it could. But that's what faith is really about. Faith is the belief in things that you cannot see. But faith gives you the confidence to keep hoping. Man. Sometimes it just keep hope alive. Sometimes you heard Jesse Jackson said, just keep hope alive. Sometimes, man, it's just the hope. I was hanging on a hope. And I'm talking about when it got real ugly and okay out there for me, when it looked like I wasn't gonna ever make it, and all of the facts was in and everything pointed in the direction you're not gonna make it. You didn't really messed up this time. Then I sat there and I just hung on to the hope. But man, that's what I'm saying. If you got a dream on aspiration of vision or something, when you fall off track and you want to go get back in line, God holds your place. See. He held on to that for me. He knew I was off tracking how the line, but he said, okay, here's where we stopped. You want to be on TV that when you get it together and you quit tripping and you come in your turn to me, I'm gonna hold your place, put you back in line, then we're gonna finish your journey. That took me a lot longer to get here than I wanted to, but then it was necessary because I needed all of the mishaps to happen to me along the way. So when I got on the radio one day, which I did not see coming, Steve Harvey got a radio show, y'all. That's why I said every day. See because of this radio show that I didn't see coming. Now I have stories to tell, I got experiences to share, and I can tell you about me better than I can tell you about anybody. And I haven't been through enough whereas relatable, where enough people can go. Man, that happened to me. Appreciate you saying that that's what it was for. See, I get it now. See at the time, though I didn't like what was happening to me. At the time, I was really in total disagreement with God on a lot of stuff he was pulling off on me. But in essence I was really pulling it off on myself. But through his grace and mercy. He kept me through all of my mistakes, all my bad decisions, all my miscalculations, all my misfires, all the times I knowingly stepped out there indeed wrong. He forgave me. He said, because man, if you ever come to me, I have a plan for you that it is going to be far and above. It will supersede everything you've ever dreamed up. That's what I did. I just got sick on me, good and sick of me, and I turned it over to God. And then God started working and here I am today. Now see threw it me yet? Nope? Have I arrived yet? Nope? But guess what the journey is cool? And then you know what I found out. That's kind of what it's like in life. If you don't walked off the cliff in life and you ain't got no God in your life, it's like not having a parachute. You step off the cliff and you just free falling. Now see we all now that fall gets you closer to the grave, right, See, we all heading to the grave from the moment we're born. But the cool thing about a relationship with God is when you step off the cliff and you got God here a parachute. You're still going down, but it's a nice ride. You guide, and you're glad, and you're softly, you enjoying your look around, smiling. You're meeting other people along the way. You're floating over here to skale a little while. You over there at the beach for a little while you mess around over here, you get to go out the country a little bit on your parachuting all and God just helps your your descent appear more like a rise and then more like a euphoric fall instead of not having no God in your life and you just walking off that cliff every day, free falling. Ain't got no core, You steady pulling, you hauling the whole way because you to mess around with yourself and ain't let God come into your life and provide a parachute for you. I would rather have a parachute since I got to jump every day, than to not have one. God has been like a parachute from me. Ask me why where that came from? I can't tell you. But like I always say, most good things that happened in my life that I can't explain, it's usually him. You're listening show ladies, gentlemen, everybody, come on, it is it is he, it is high, it is me. He's blind. Say sua, uh cluche, I beg moa, say sua. That's a slow down version of paddle LaBelle. When she was with La Belle, Lady Marmala, I thought I thought I recommend. I didn't know. Oh you thought I was exactly Yeah, I thought I was a language. It is a language, but we don't know what it is. Hey, Steve, welcome back. We missed you. Happy holidays. Called it for Rell. What's up? Boss? Back in the building. Welcome back? What's up Junior? You miss me? Let's just keep going. Jay didn't think about you, Junior. I would visit Jay, and I know you didn't miss me. I ain't no doubt about it. Nephew, Tom, you ain't my uncle. Back and stride again, baby, you stride again, Oh man, welcome on home. About the world, I think the world has a lot to offer. I'm grateful that God has placed me in the position to be able to see some things I've never seen before. Um. I had a really enlightening trip. I took my two youngest to Botswana and then we went to Abu Dhabi U technically the full one race, but system I got there a little early. I just turned it into a little downtime. Um Um, I don't even know where to start any questions because I don't even know where to start. It was just why'd you go there? Any why'd you go there in the first plat Botswana is because there was a women's empowerment conference that Marjorie and I spoke at. Okay, but it was more of an impromptu. It's really for me to go there to do one thing, and when we got there, we were asked to do some other things, so it was really really impromptu. We went to took a tour when we first got in Botswanna, we took a tour of the beers uh diamond facility, not mine. Did you bring any back? Uh? If if I had something back, I on my way to prison. You ain't bringing nothing back? You ain't, You ain't. I've never been in the building so secure in my entire ever, I've never seen anything. Uh. Then we had a meeting with the president and the first Lady. Incredible people. Um, it just bought Swanna. Man, did they know you over there? Steve? Oh? Yeah, yeah, I'm three times in primetime in Boston. The feud over that doll, yeah man, yeah, nice Sam, the feud over there. All right, I'll tell you more when we come back if you like. Yeah, we'll be back at thirty two after right after this, you're listening to show. Well, as you probably have heard already, Steve Harvey is back from vacation with stories. Man, He's been to Africa everywhere they ain't bought Swanna. I'm gonna lie to you, man, I'm I'm living a life that's golden that I didn't know anything about. I really didn't. So that's called grace because I can't say I've always wanted to be and do this, because I didn't even know this existed, you know. And so it was really really let's start with the plane though, Let's start how you got there. I flew British Airways from La X to London, and then British Airways from London to Johannesburg, and then after that it turned private. Okay just then, but we had already taken care of most of the trip, so I was British Airways. Hey man, let me tell you something. It's the way to go. Uh, if you're gonna travel now, I boughn't in the back, so don't let me. And you think fit to get all this back there. So I don't know what's back there, but in the front, you ain't gonna pay with the curtain. I never look, I ain't even turned that weight. Yeah, I always know what not to do. But man, it was just so, it was it was. I mean, it was a nice flight. And then I went to U As soon as we got off the plane in Botswana, we went directly to the bills and took a two of the facility that this is where they No, it's not a diamond right, it's where all the diamonds come to after they come out of the mind. But it's not. Botswana is the number one diamond producing country in Africa. And then they also do the diamonds for Canada. So all the diamonds that are mined in Canada, they sent all of them to Botswanna. Here's what's amazing, man, What really the Bears made a concerted effort over there, with a lot of pushing and powerful people getting involved. Ninety eight percent of the employees inside of the Bears were Africans. Yes, this little girl man was twenty three years old, was in charge of this entire raw diamond division. She was handling some of the largest stones in the building. Twenty three man and knew everything about it. That was really, really amazing thing. I took a lot of pictures over there, man, you know, oh yeah, yeah, but this all in the raw form. They're not cut and polished. So what you see is the rock as it comes out of the earth or in the ground or wherever they get it from rivers or whatever. And it's amazing. It's amazing how many diamonds are there at one time. My god, I was solder. There's no way you could have taken like a small, small one. There's still nothing cut your whole hand off, so small you want like put in your ear something like that, Joe. You can't get out the building. There a lot of security. It's a most or something. You can't chew gum in there. Yeah, a little gum in the building and the building. Yeah, they take anything that the search to go in. Yeah. Uh yeah. Man, you're not going in there with nothing. You're not you're not nothing. They treat you, they treat you. If one stone is missing, the building gets shut down until the stone is found. It don't matter what size the stone is. Everything is counted at the beginning of the day. Everything is counted at the end of the day. If one small stone I held a I held a stone in my hand that was a hundred and fifty some cabins. Wow, it wasn't that heavy, man, it's not. And this is the roth for them. I saw a diamond, the largest diamond ever found in Botswana was called uh uh lads. They called it ladici, which is lighter thing. It's called lads, not lettuce. But that's Marjorie's African name. Now, yeah, they named her after that, which means light. She's light of the world because of her spirit over there. So they named her ladc And that diamond was one thousand, one hundred eleven carrots. Wows a lot. You got a picture that dog. Did you get a picture that didn't take any selfies? I'm sure no. Poor camera and taking pictures pictures. I took some pictures in that of people, you know, Steve, Steve, one more selfie for you. I didn't. I didn't, you know, I get you could have. I guess some of it could have got in the picture, but I was too scared, be honest with you. Yeah, I was scared. I didn't want to break no rules. One of the young girls that was with us took a wrong turn and when through the wrong door, it took us thirty minutes to get her out of that door. We were leaving. Yeah, this is little dumb ask I mean, excuse you. I was so mad, man, I was so mad because we were leaving.

The migrant push was a desperate effort to try and get US officials but to allow them to apply for asylum, and it resulted in the temporary shutdown of the San Ysidral border crossing between Tijuana and San Diego, California. In a tweet, Trump is urging Mexico now to send the migrants back to Central America using buses or even planes, and the administration is also suggesting that the caravan remained in Mexico until at least while their asylum claims are processed.

You know, I wasn't like really angry with the voter turnout this year in the midterms in Florida, in Georgia where Stacy Laws and and you know what, wasn't upset about to turn out.

This make America Great Again statement has taken a bigger foothold than you can imagine. And you've you've got to be careful of this statement and make America great again because that's a reference to going back to a time going by. Yeah, hey, Steve, I wanted to let you know you weren't here yesterday, but Mike Ausby was our special guest and he had a lot to say about today's elections as well election as well.

Now that it's it's very, very real, the way that they've conducted business as usual in the state of Mississippi. It's been rough. But there's some people down there that stay home. That's where they live. That's what they love, you know, they love going down there doing and family unions and these are people and that's where we're born. You can't take people's homes from them. But what we will not stand for anymore is, you know, look, wan, but endorsing public lynch. And he has said this about any other racial group. Come on, now, come on, look, here's a duke. They wouldn't have stood for it. We shouldn't stand for it either. Well, up against a lot around this world, we're up against a lot down in Mississippi. Here's a state who refuses to remove the rebel flag from state buildings. It's been done in a lot of states, Mississippi hanging on. So you know, we got to we got to send a message to them that this this type of rhetoric this woman is viewing, she's not even a great person. She's not a good person. She's just not. Man, I'm sorry.

You have two cars supposedly in your driveway that are not being used, been sitting there for quite some time. Well, yeah, well one of them I'm currently working on. I'm almost I should have it repaired. I'm just waiting on getting wait, wait and get a little extra money and get it take care. But the other cars just function it.

Okay today, Um, don't put it off, don't procrastinate, get on out to the polls and vote. Okay. You know, there used to be a time when you make a statement like this and would cost you the election, right, yeah, you mean his opponent. Yes, you could make a statement like that and it would just cost you the election because even even the Republicans, who have a lot of great people in it, were just considered to be the moral party. And if you made a statement like that, the Southern evangelicals and everybody went, no, that's not what we're about. Something has happened. Something has happened because the Southern evangelicals still support Donald Trump, and that's amazing. It's because of the PowerShift that they see coming from the top, and so they can quit making it about their faith because that's not what that is at this point. And some of them just won't change parties or speak against him or anything. He's a Republican. They're Republicans and that's it. And you know, and that's fine, but come on, this man, Lloyd can be a Republican and see wrong doing. Yeah, absolutely absolutely, but none of them speak out against him. Now, yeah, all right, so listen. If you need some advice and relationships on dating, work, sex, parenting, and more, please submit your Strawberry letter to Steve Harvey FM and click submit to Strawberry letter. We're ready, Steve, We're ready. All right, let's get buggle hold on tight. We got it for you. It's a Strawberry letter subject thanks for having a child for my man, Dear Stephen Shirley. Let's just get right to it. Here's my dilemma. I'm a thirty eight year old woman and I've never wanted to have children. Five years ago, I was in a great relationship and we were talking about getting married. But he wanted children and I did not, so we mutually decided to end our relationship. We could not deny that we were still in love with each other, so two years after we broke up, we reconnected and have been seeing each other off and on since then. While we've been spending time together, he started a relationship with a new woman and they had a child together, and he couldn't be happier. He has told me that he wants to marry the woman so that his child will have the kind of upbringing he had with both parents present. I truly believe now that he has a son he wanted, he and I can get back together and get married. He tells me every day that he loves me, so why wouldn't he want to marry me instead of her? If I were an evil woman, I could end it all between him and this woman by telling her that I've been with him this entire time they've been together. I have lots of damaging proof that would definitely break them up. Even though I did not want to have children, I can help him raise his son. What do you think I should do? Don't I deserve to be happy too? Well, yeah, everyone deserves to be happy, but not this way. Okay, I just gotta tell you that it looks like you're done. I mean, you're just the side piece in this relationship. He has moved on from you to the woman he wants to marry. And guess what, that woman is not you. He said he wanted to marry that woman and not you. You you don't want to have children. He only has one child. How do you know he doesn't want to have more children. You didn't mention that in the letter? Did you you think he's one and done? Well, they're smart, she really smart. I didn't see that. Well, he may not. You know, he may want to have another one, and you still don't want children, So there is no future in this relationship with him. What you have with him is as good as it's going to get with again, you being the jump off. That's it. He told you he wanted to marry this new woman. He didn't or hasn't told you that he wanted to marry you lately, has he? So I suggest you ask, you know, don't you deserve to be happy? What do you think you should do? Well? You need to get out of this situation because he wants to marry someone else and have you on the side, which is exactly what he's doing. Steve. Well, when we come back and we'll break it down a little bit further, I would really admire the point that you made though this guy may want to have other children. Oh yeah, she doesn't see this. When I come back, thought, I'm gonna tell you what's really bring it. Bring it up, all right, we'll have part two of Steve's response, uh coming out. I'm gonna let him have it too. Now, don't don't nobody be tight. Okay, okay, because I see you know this, you know, thanks for having a child for my man. Yeah, show you exactly exactly. I don't see that. All right. Well again, Steve, you're gonna bring it with part two of your response coming up today subject thanks for having a child from my man. We'll be back right after this. You're listening, all right, Steve. Come on, let's recap today's strawberry letter, Thanks for having a child from my man. Well, I don't have to recap it because I didn't respond to it. But I've just done. This woman had a relationship with this guy. She's thirty years old. She never wanted to have children. Five years ago, she was in a great relationship, talking about getting married, but he wanted kid. She didn't, so y'all decided end of relationship. But you still loved each other. So two years later, after y'all broke up, y'all reconnected and started seeing each other off and on since then, well, while we've been spending time together, he started relationship. No, see, while we were spending time together, he started a relationship with a new woman. That's not true. That's not true, sees. This is the first big lie in the letter. She thinks that for two years this dude was sitting somewhere sad and upset that they had broke up and wasn't involved with nobody, So, she writes in the letter, because this is a self serving woman, while we were spending time together, he started relationship with a new woman. No, he was in a relationship with the new you woman. Then y'all started spending time together. They had a child together, and he couldn't be happier. He told me he wants to marry this woman so this child can have a kind of upbringing he had with both parents present. Now she believes that since she got son, he wanted down to be able to get back together and getting married. He tells me every day he loves me. Why wouldn't he want to be with me? If I were an even woman, I could end this whole thing. Blah blah blah. Even though I do not want to have children, I can help him raise his sons. What do you think I should do? I deserve to be happy to You will never be happy destroying someone else's Let's just start that. You'll never be happy destroying someone else's. You're the most self serving person I've heard from in a long time. You, lady, you are what's the word. It's narcissist. Yeah, it's that the word. You just like the president. It's all about you. See. So now you didn't want to have children, but you think since he has a child, you can help him raise his son. You don't even want no damn kids, right, So what's gonna make you the great mother? All of a sudden, you still don't want kids, but now you think you're gonna turn into the super mom over the woman who had the baby? Are you kidding me? Are you kidding me? You're very self serving. You didn't want children, so you didn't want children, so you broke up. You couldn't say, you know what, we love each other enough, we should share a child. Now it's always about you. I don't want to and no kids, So we break up two years. Lady, y'all reconnect now here in a relationship. You can believe that ain't a man sitting on the sideline two years trying to get over no damn body. We get over women with women. Hello, we get over women with women sitting up in the house sucking the thumb because you're gonna we'll do that for a little while, but we're gonna take this thumb sucking and turn it into something. Hello. Now he wants the family, she said. He wants to marry this girl who had the baby because he wants the baby to have the same family he had grown up, both parents present. You don't give a damn about that. You want that to split up? Damn the again, you show exactly why you don't need you, because you want to take this opportunity for this child to have a family in structure that this womanan wants to create with this woman because you want to just be so you won't break that up, so you can help raise a child that you don't even won't you don't even want kids, but so you could be happy. You want to break it up. Now you say you could break them up because you got some evidence, pictures, text all this hill. Yeah, you could do that. You could break them up. But let me ask you a question. You don't think that he'll remember that. You don't think that when y'all sitting around having a couple of arguments. You don't think that when y'all sitting up trying to make these bills work. You don't think when real life kicking, when the honeymoon section is over. You don't think he gonna remember the fact that you sent some pictures that destroyed what he really wanted to have. Now he over there with you with a baby that you don't won't you do? I want children his? You don't even want your own. If you don't want your own children, I to hell, you're supposed to want somebody else's. I'm just asking so one more time. You are the most served, self serving woman. And like Shirley said, suppose this man want to have another child. You ain't it again, You're out. Then you you deserve to be happy. To well, go find you a man that don't want no kids? It's a bunch of him. But go back to chapter two, verse eighteen. We get over get over women with other women. Man, we don't hey, how we don't side. We don't go therapy. Now, we don't go up in the mountains to find ourselves. Now we get another one of y'all who can do the same thing.

All right, we'll have more of the Steve Harvey Morning Show right after this you're listening to show, all right, Steve. Mississippi's special runoff election for US Senate is today. Democratic candidate Mike Espy is running against his opponent, Republican racist sy Yeah. Republican. Yeah, you're about saying it right, And you know what, We've got to get out really in the state of Mississippi and support this man. But man, the things that this woman has said, that things this woman has condoned, the things she stands for, the fact that Trump won't say anything about except she's the candidate. It just, man, this guy just doesn't care at all, man, about the condition of the feelings of oppressed people in this country. Y'all get out in vote in the state of Mississippi for Mike spet today just to runoff. Man. You can do it, Mississippi, Come on, you can do it. You've overcome a lot in that state and you've got you've got a statement of your own that you get a chance to make today that we will no longer allow this type of rhetoric to be uh condoned by us. That's right, I mean, and it's a great statement that you all can make concerning this man, and I hope you all do. Man, get out to the polls and vote. You know, I wasn't like really angry with the voter turnout this year in the midterms in Florida, in Georgia where Stacy loss and and you know what, wasn't upset about to turn out. I think people really turned out. Um the other party, it's dangerously committed to keeping things as they are. This listen to me, y'all. This make America great against men has taken a bigger foothold than you can imagine. And you've got to be careful of this statement and make America great again because that's a reference to going back to a time gone by. Yeah, hey, Steve, I wanted to let you know you weren't here yesterday, but Mike Esby was our special guest and he had a lot to say about today's elections as well election as well. Take a listen, and I want to remind everyone on that in nineteen eighty six, I was like fresh face, thirty year old, had never run any office in my life, and I ran for Congress fund from the second district of the first black to win that Tea sence of the war. So we've done this before, we've done this before, We're going to do it again. We need to college kids to definitely get out though millennials. You're right, Tommy, Yeah, they've got to get out. And now they have a reason, you know, beyond just my core mission and my purpose statements. They need to get out because she's telling them that they're both need to be suppressed. That's right, they've got to just now it's first there you have it, Mike Espy, get out and encouraging the folks to get out vote as well. Steve, Yeah, everybody in Mississippi. We got to turn out. And some great people in the state of Mississippi. You know, we're joking on this here, but on seriousness, man, it's some really, really cool people in the state of the sipp and we're just not having it no more. You know. You we've been down there, man, been the bunny end of the jokes and everything. But it has been rough down there too. Now that it's it's very very real, the way that they've conducted business as usual in the state of Mississippi. It's been rough. But there's some people that down there that stay holed that's where they live. That's what they love, you know, they love going down that do it and family unions. And these are people and that's where we're born. You can't take people's homes from them. But what we will not stand for anymore, you know, look him a woman but endorsing public n and if she has said this about any other racial group. Come on now, come on, all right, coming up our last break of the day. I think we're gonna just let Steve have this one. Coming up. Steve's closing remarks at forty nine after the hour. You're listening here we are, last break of the day. Guys, It's been a good Tuesday, yet, Tuesday the big dog is back. Yes, Steve, we missed mixed emotion. Yeah, got a word from Mississippi. I'm back man, Yeah, Mississippi. We gotta turn out and vote today for Mike sp Uh. You know, we really got to make a statement. But we're just sick of this hateful rhetoric. Man, We are so sick of people being allowed. You know, Donald Trump, well you know what was crazy, man, The moral barometer just got lord when he ran for president. Because I really thought that when he made a couple of statements that that was gonna end it, especially when he said he would grab women by the pee. I thought for sure. I said, okay, cool, that's it. And I was out the country and the subject came up, and with a lot of different ambassadors I was sitting with, and it was just crazy, man. They all felt the same way. But something has happened in this country to where it's now okay to verbally say out loud what you've been thinking, which has given us another sneak preview of how you really feel and have been feeling all along. And so now what we've got to do is we've got to send a message that that's not allowable, that that's not how the majority of us really do feel. And we have a chance to send that message today in the state of Mississippi, which could use some good news like this. I mean, look, man, Mississippi has got some great people in it. It really really does. All jokes aside, it does. Now. It's been through some things. That state is tough, man, that's a rough place to live and grow up and have to to deal with everything. They refused to remove the Federate flag and so forth and so on. But we have a right to vote. There are enough people in the state of Mississippi, clearly who could give this guy a win and send a message to this hateful woman that joking about attending a public hanging and noose is being hung in front of the state Capitol and and all these negative remarks, and that's blatant racism. It's not acceptable. It's just not it's not. You're right, it's not. That run is over, and we have a chance to make that run over two days. Yeah, Yeah, And Steve, don't forget in Birmingham at the sixteenth Street Baptist Church down there, Attorney Benjamin Crump, family member to the Steve Harvey Morning Show. Attorney Crump, the NAACP and the family of E. J. Bradford Junior will have a community town hall meeting. EJ. Bradford Junior was a young man who was gunned down by police in the mall in Alabama because he was trying to stop a shooting and the police thought he was the actual gunman gunned him down. The police department admitted they made a mistake, but of course he's still dead. EJ. Bradford Junior sad, sad situation down there they're having a town hall meeting tonight six Central admitting you made a mistake. Okay, got it, here's a deal. There are consequences with mistakes that are made. There are still consequences. Every mistake I've made came with a consequence. And I ain't never shot nobody, but all my mistakes come with consequences. You cannot live in this world and make mistakes as an adult without consequences, and especially when what you did cost the life of someone. The problem that we keep having over and over and over is the lack of consequences when an officer makes a mistake quote unquote mistake. Okay, look, you're training, whatever it is got to come into play. Now. If all your training keep allowing you to make these mistakes, to hell, we haven't training for right. But here's the ugly part of the mistakes. The mistakes keep happening to the same people that ain't a mistake caused. It's black dudes, young black men, older black men. It keeps the mistakes keep happening to that one group of people. So at one point in time, I got to ask myself, man, how many times we gotta make the same mistake? But there be no consequences, So you fire, you get to retire from the police department. To guy to kill Mike Brown, what happened to him? He just a policeman no more. Ferguson, He's not a policeman anymore. What happened to George Zimmerman? He just he free, he got off. What happened to the guy that choked out the man selling the cigarettes in New York? What happened to the man castile? What happened to him? That was a mistake. He even said, oh my god, what have I done? But he's still what happened ain't no consequences. There ain't no consequences. Man. The man that shot the black dude running eight times in the back, what happened to him? Ain't no consequences, man, It ain't no consequences for killing a black person. Now that's what. There's no consequences. I'm sorry, but excuse me. If we run a traffic light, there's consequences. Yes, sir, you may have accidentally ran the light, but you have to pay the fine. You ever just told the judge it was accident. You have a us It was a mistake. It was a mistake. I didn't mean, but you still got the consequences. So how can you kill a person and there be no consequences. Something's wrong, man, something seriously wrong. And and it ain't like we're beating a dead horse, y'all. Keep killing the horse? Whoa that was so found? I don't know what to tell y'all, and we sick and tired of it for all. Steve Every contests no purchase necessary, avoid where prohibited.
