Today's show is pre recorded. Y'all know what time. Y'all don't know y'all have a sun giving them like the million bucks things in the stuffing through good it sting to mother. Please, I don't join joining me. You gotta turn you, you gotta turn to turn them out. Turn You haven't got to turn them out. Turn the water. The water got me? Come come on your tha uh huh, I show well. If you're more than everybody you are listening to the voice, come on dig me now for one and only. Steve Harvey got a radio show. Yeah, man, got one. Hey. You know, um, I thought I think of my life in terms of blessings. You know, I take mostly a positive approach and a positive spin to my life. I hardly ever dwell on you know, the what's well. I can't say that I don't think about the what's wrong in it because I have to, because I have to address problems as they arise. But I try not to let them consume me. I let the consumption part be about the blessings, the positive things that has occurred in my life, the good things that God has done for me, the power that He's displayed in my life, the protection he's given me over the years to being tucked under his wings. I focus on the things that he promises me. I think of all all the goodness that I perceived to come my way. I think that has a lot to do with me learning more and more about the law of attraction in terms of you know, what you think and what you put out into space, and what you pray about is what you receive. You know, and so I've become better and better at that. It's not to say that I'm I'm not human and I don't have moments where I think a little bit too long about what's going wrong and what enemy is about to attack and what they're going to do and saying and all of this is his. That's not to con say that I'm not concerned about it. But I try to duel mostly on the positive. And one of the things that I learned, you can have an incredible life, all of us. We can have incredible lives if we just let God drive. See. The problem that I had years ago was I was the driver of my life, and I was taking myself into directions that I thought would be best for me, and I aimed at things that I thought I could accomplish, and I set goals that I saw myself being able to attain. I was driving when I gave up and I let God drive. I then opened up my mind and my spirit to what God had for me, for what God could see for me, for what God could do in my life, well, for what God wanted for me. Now he wanted for me, and he wanted of me. See, that's the connection that you got to try to make. Not try, that's the connection that you got to make to really get it. Now, listen to me. What I don't want you to do is do like me. Don't be afraid of the what for of the what he wants you to do part see, because that ain't gonna be nearly as demanding and as offsetting as you think it's gonna be. See. I thought that if I did God's will, that if I let God tell me what to do, that it would cause me to not to be able to do a certain some things I wanted to do well, which is true. But the stuff I wanted to do was all detrimental to my well being and my future and my growth and development as a man. I was stopping my own growth as a man because see I was doing what I thought I should do as a man. But when you give it over to God, to God has a much better plan for you than you can ever have for yourself. And God knows a better way, far better than the one you know. I want you to believe that. Man, you gotta understand that part of it. And that's the part that I finally got through my head to let God do it his way and to show me a better way, and to teach me a better way and expose to me a better way. And when I opened up my mind to what God was talking about, I began to see things totally differently and started coming to me totally differently. If you've been a friend of mine or a fan of mine over the years, I mean, you've had to see it, the change. You've had to see the difference I mean, And I acknowledge that every chance I get, because I promised God I would, and I hope that I'm not falling short in that category. But then again, if I told it all day long would he done for me? I still wouldn't have enough time to really explain thoroughly what He's done for me, because it's such a continuous growth in me. But now that's not to say that I'm finished or I'm done or I'm complete, because I'm still shocked. You can't be him. You can strive for perfection. I hear people saying it all the time. I applaud you for saying you want to be perfect, but you ain't and you can't. So you quit saying it. You quit saying it to me, quit saying it to other people. I'm seeking a life of perfection, but it's something that you cannot have because he said you can't do it. But that's what he'd have for. He'd have for the moments when you stumble and you fall, and you gonna stumble and fall. See, you got to get that part right, man to stumbling falling part is coming. But see, you get God in your life and it helps you so that you don't stumble, fall, wallow, roll over, laid air, languish. That's what God is for. So when you stumbling, fall, you get back up. Because you're going to make mistakes. You're going to get it wrong, You're going to come under attack, You're going to be lied about, you are going to be falsely accused. That's going to happen to you the moment you make a decision to do better, the moment you try to be more. The devil got to send his attackers, man, and he controls certain people. He just got people as on his side twenty four seven. You know him too. You've all met one or two of me in your life. They're just busy with the business of nothingness. They just busy about to do about the destruction of others. You said, I know him, you know him. They coming. But here's what you got to hold fast too. They can't take away nothing from you that God gave you. They didn't make you. See, people who claim to have made you, if they're so in to make you business, why don't they make theyselves? Or if they ain't with you no more, and they're so busy in them I made you business, why don't they make somebody else? Since since you want to get credit from making somebody make yourself, if you're responsible for someone else's success, then you should easily be able to take claim and be responsible for your own success. See, be careful of that, and don't and don't don't change your course because somebody is attacking you with that. I just hope man, that I'm giving it to God the way I said I would give it to him, that I would unload every chance I got that I was supposed to without being, you know, or here he come again? You know. I try not to be that, But man, I don't know what else to be for the first twelve minutes of my show. What else you want me to say? I got four hours? I can't give God twelve twelve minutes, man, I mean for real, Steve, come on, man, I mean, let's look at this right here. If you're give an honor to God just twelve minutes out the day, dog, he gave you twenty four hours of luxury in life and breath and hope and promise, you ain't got twelve minutes to give him out the day. That don't make no sense. What an exchange, What a wonderful life God has given me in exchange for so small of effort that I put forth. Don't let the effort you got to put forth to God seems so dawning that you don't attempt to do it, because man, it seems like a lot. It ain't nothing to compare to what He'd be given us for real. So if you want a real life, you want a real shot at what you can be, what you can have, what you can own, what you can become who you really are. Go to God, let him fix you. Man. That's all you're listening Morning show ladies and gentlemen. It is now time to start the show. Five four three two one. It has started. The countdown was insignificant. The voice didn't elevate.

Oh she did not play by good boy? All right, thank you enough. Coming up at the top of the hour, the US Surgeon General will be here right after this. You're listening to show Hey, everybody, we gotta distinguished guests this morning. He's the twenty first Surgeon General of the United States and uh. He also was a nineteenth Surgeon General appointed by President Barack Obama from twenty fourteen to two thousand and seventeen, and prior to being appointed again as Surgeon General, he served as co chair on President Biden's Coronavirus Advisory Board. And today we're going to discuss how COVID nineteen vaccinations are the only way to end this pandemic. Please Welcome to the show, Doctor every Murthy. How are you, sir? I'm doing well. Thanks, thanks for having me on. Listen. We need to have you on because there's such a debate going on today about the vaccine should you shouldn't we? That seems to be a certain sector of the population that's refusing the vaccine. So we all know that COVID nineteen has caused a lot of suffering for millions of Americans. That's not up for debate. And many of us have lost family members to COVID nineteen, including you. That's true, sir, Could you share that with us? Well, you know, up until a few weeks ago, I was you know, I was sharing from time to time that I've lost seven family members to COVID nineteen. Just actually this past week we lost two more family members. So you know, I'm also aware of that. I'm not that different from a lot of people out there who have lost family and friends to this terrible virus. It's one of the reasons I want to see this this pandemic end, because we've just lost so many people, well you know, over now five hundred and sixty thousand people in our country kind to this virus and so we got to put an end to it. And it does turn out the getting vaccinated is the fastest, surest path to get there. Wow. I mean, look, man, we saw it for your loss. So many people in this country have lost loved ones, which is which it kind of amazes me at some of the reservations that people have about this vaccination. Now we've seen firsthand the sense of relief that being vaccinated can bring you, because we've all been vaccinated on this show, Doctor Berthy, how are the vaccinations going so far in the US. Well, I'm glad you asked. You know. Overall, it's it's going pretty well. I think it's going better than we could have anticipated at this point. Right now, more than one hundred and fifty million people in our country have received at least one shot of the vaccine. That's more than fifty percent of all adults in America. And with this many people, what's been really interesting, Steve, is that the number two things we've learned. One is that this continues to be a really effective vaccine. If you look at people who are seniors who are sixty five enough, it turns out that they've gotten vaccine in large numbers, and the death rate has dropped by more than eighty percent in that population, which is pretty extraordinary. And but what's also happened is that the safety profile of these vaccines has also remained really strong, so very very few in the way of, you know, any serious side effects, which is which is really good. That's what you want, you know, as a doctor, I think about this in the context of the conversations I've adpotitations over the years, you know, sitting with them at their bedside, trying to make decisions about what they should take in terms of medicines. And look, I think if people out there are questions about the vaccine, that's okay. You know, if you have questions, you should get answers to them. You should be careful, right and thoughtful about what treatments you take. But I think the good news here is you've got in this vaccine something that's really effective at preventing COVID and the side effects that you hear about, because I know some people you know are worried about it lasting side effects. The side effects of most people experience actually are fever, chills, body ache, headache, and fatigue, and those last on the order of hours. Whereas a protection you get last for months or maybe longer. So the bottom line is that getting vaccinated is as the fastest way really to get back to the people and activities we love. It has benefits that are really high, the risks are really low, and that's a pretty good deal, you know, as far as medicines and vaccines go. Let me ask you this, what's what the major things that we can do to help in this pandemic? What what what are the major things we can do? Well? A great question is Stephen, I'll say, what makes me feel hopeful about the future is that we are in such a better place now than we were a year ago. We still, by the way, we still have too many infections going on per day, on the average of forty thousand or more infections still every day in the United States. But we have a way to turn this pandemic around, and that's the vaccine. So the key thing that we've got to do is number one, get vaccinated ourselves. Number two, turn around and look at the people in your life, your family, your friends, and people you care about and ask them if they've got a plan to get vaccinated. We know that half the people in this country who are waiting to get vaccinated. They say that a conversation with a family member or a friend could make the difference in what they decide to do. That means that you don't need it to be a doctor or nurse to make a difference here. If you've got people in your eyes you care about, you can make the difference in whether they get vaccinated or not. So have a conversation with them. If they want information, help them get information. If they want help. Finding a place to get vaccinated. Now it's really easy. You can go to vaccines dot gov. Just put in your your zip code and then you can find places near you where you can get vaccinated. You can also text a number you can text equivalent and get VAC and you text your zip code to that number and boom, you can get three places right near you where you can get vaccinated. Or if you want to do in Spanish, it's a buquanut those six letters translated to digits, text your zip code, get three places near you. So these are two simple things you can do. Get picks vaccinated and talk to your family and friends to help them get vaccinated. If we do that, what will happen in this country likely is what we're seeing now in Israel. Israel hit an interesting threshold now they're near sixty percent of population vaccinated and they have seen a dramatic drop across the country in infections and now as a result, they're able to open up more and more activities in their country. They're starting to get back to normal. That's what could happen here if we get more people vaccinated. That's how we can protect our community. Hey, doctor Murphy, hold on right there, we're gonna take a break. We're coming back. We got more with the Surgeon General right after this. Folks, you're listening to show all right, we're back and our special guests this morning. This is the twenty first Surgeon General of the United States and we're talking about the vaccination. So let me ask you this. To the person that's wanting to say something to their family members of friends to convince them of this vaccination, what would you consider the top selling points they might mention? Well, here's what I would say. You know, first of all, look, we should if people have questions, we shouldn't be really possible about and not judge people. And they can feel bad, you know, about the questions they have. We don't know why people have the questions they do. Some people have had a really bad experience of the healthcare system. Other people may have seen misinformation online. But I know it's true or not. And so the first thing I do is go in there and listen first before we judge. The second thing I would do is to remind people that again, over one hundred and fifty million people have got this and we're seeing it is still a really good side effect profile, and we're seeing that it's really effective in dropping depths. And the last thing I tell them is that remember, ninety percent of doctors have either gotten VACK Canada or planning to. These are the people that we go and see about our health, the people that we trust, they trust and believe in this vaccine. They're getting it themselves, and that's why, you know, I think one more reason why we can trust in it. And finally, just remember this that what we all want all of that is we want to turn this pandemic around. We want to protect ourselves, the people we love and want to get back to doing the things we love doing as well, getting together with friends, getting back to school and work, being able to go out to a ball game and not worry about King getting sick. The path passes way for us to do that is to get vaccinated. And see I want to just share one last thought with just a broad our thought overall, which is, you know, I know you can read the headlines on the paper sometimes and feel really down about where we are right now, that this pandemic has been going on for over a year to turn people's lives upside down. A lot of us are just tired, you know. I feel that two at times just kind of exasperated. You know, it's just how taxing this whole experience has been. But I do want people to know that this pandemic will end, that we will get back to our way of life. The sooner we get vaccinated, the pasture that will happen. But what I hope we don't ever forget is what I believe is one of the greatest lessons of this pandemic, which is that we need each other, that we can get through this pandemic alone. COVID has reminded us that as much as we might share stories about people building companies on their own or doing extraordinary things, or athletes who lead their team to success, real life is more about what people do together. It's about how they support one another in their journeys. And right now, there are a lot of people out there who are struggling. Maybe they lost a job, maybe they lost a loved one, maybe they're worried about their kids' future. And this is the time where we need to reach out and help one another because it isn't serving other people that we will find our healing as well. And the government can help it. Turning this pandemic around, helping our communities heal. It's kind of give all of us standing up, looking out for one another, supporting one another. That's how we not only get through this pandemic, but how we come out on the other side stronger. And even before this pandemic began. Okay, hey, this is great information. Can you sit tight for us, doctor Murphy. We got to take a quick break and we come back. We'll close out with the Surgeon General right after this. You're listening to show all right, we're back, everybody and our special guests in Surgeon General of the United States, doctor Murphy, and we're discussing the vaccination the pandemic. In our lifetime, none of us have faced anything like this, and it has cost so many people, so many precious lives, and you know, I mean all of us wanted to end. We are exhausted. You know, I'm tired of these masks. I'm tired of places not being open. Mean, you're exhausted from it. But there's light at the end of the tunnel finally, And I mean really appreciate the efforts of Biden Harris presidency. They really came in with a real effort to get this thing could tail. And I appreciate the efforts they're making getting the country vaccinated. And thank you, sir for sharing your thoughts with us and what we're doing. And we're on top of it. And if I don't notice, don't just probably ain't gonna solve the problem. But in my own little way, my contribution to this whole thing is, if you ain't vascinated, don't bring your ass around me. And I just wanted to say that from all the depth in my heart. Well, doctor murphin need he need help. All every little bit helps. And you know, if you can make a small contribution in your own way, maybe you have a way that you want to lend yourself to it. You know, you know, vascinate or hibinate, you know, whatever, you want to do something, pick something and we apologize, well with you. You know that's a that's a good one to apologize. I apologize that I don't care for sick ass people. I'm coming up with several things, yeah, to just with you know what I'm saying, I just don't care for sick people. Vaccinator, hobbitate, you know what you want to do, you know, or you know it's just I got more, but I won't share with you now. But if you need any help with a campaign slogan, call your man Steve, and I'll have a whole lot of very catching and catching phrases. You know. Do you think doctor Murphy's mother would approve Steve. Yeah, she's a big fan. I understand she watches a family. You know, I don't think you could do wrong in her eyes. Yeah, so the doctor. I think you said right. We need every one to step up and to do their part in their own ways. You know that each of us. The thing is, it's easy to feel like you don't have power today in society, but each of us, the people who trust us and who listen to us, and if we turn out to have a conversation with them. You never know. If that's a conversation, it's going to change someone's mind and help save their life. And that's what we all do that for the people in our life. I have no doubt that we will get our country vaccinated and that we will protect our communities and we will end this pandemic. Yeah, yes, well doctor, thank you so much. And one last slogan. You know, sorry again doctor Burley. You know, uh, needles are scary. It might cause you to cry, but at least if you get it, your ass won't die. Thank you. That's a new T shirt. I'll be putting that one out. We'll put the Surgeon General cross the bottom with that and with the word boom. Yeah, doctor ver Thing, thank you so much for joining us today, sir, Thank you so much. It was so nice to speak with you in the whole team. Thank you all for what you're doing to help you right so, you know, we we're just doing our part. You know, you gotta help logans listen in here all more than I'm gonna be coming up with slogans to help you get fascinated. My favorite though so far though, is vaccinate or hibernate. I like you a lot to do. One last thing I would just share you. Hey, I'm so here, But one thing I just tend to say, if you, if you're actually about wanting to potentially do more. We're trying to work on some creative ideas for things that we could do that would be fun and interesting and also reach the community. Yeah so yeah, well I would love to just brainstorms and things that we could potentially do together down the line, I would do. Thank you, sir. Sound good? All right?

It needs the Strawberry Letter. Thank you. Nephew's subject she loves me. I love her, not Dear Stephen Shirley. I'm a thirty six year old male and I misjudged my fiance. I met her on social media and we had a long distance relationship for five months. When I first visited her, I should have known better than pursue her. Than to pursue her. She's thirty two years old and lived with her mom, her three children, her two sisters, and two nieces. But she was always well put together and she had her own tax business, so I gave it a chance. She is the most beautiful woman I've ever met, with long golden brown hair and freckles on her nose. She's also got a body like Serena Williams, so after just five months of dating, I asked her to marry me. She was overjoyed and said she wanted to bring the kids the next time she came to my house. I have only two bedrooms since I used my third bedroom as an office and my gym. The next week she came with the kids on a Sunday. We got them settled and I went to work. On Monday. I got home from work and it smelled like she had been frying chicken and boiling chitterlings. The two year old's diaper was off and it was in the middle of the floor. There was an air mattress in my office, and the eight year old said his mom bought it so he could have his own room. The six year old girl was sitting there playing with my laptop. My fiance was in the bed watching TV, still in her bonnet and pajamas. I told her the house was a mess, and she said that's how it is with kids quarantined all day. This was just the first day. Now it's been three weeks and all we do is argue about discipline and cleaning up. I'd fallen out of love with her, she's made herself at home and thinks we're still getting married. How do I tell her it's time for her and the kids to leave? Well, unless you you know, you can afford to get a bigger house and a nanny and a maid and all that stuff. I just say, you know, you pull her to the side, open up your mouth and tell her that this is not going to work. Period. The same, same, same behavior, lazy, nasty, sinky, all that it's gonna get even worse when you marry this woman. Okay, so you gotta stop the madness. Now you've only known her for five months. You've only known her for five months, that's no time at all. She said yes to her your proposal right away because she wanted to get out of her mom's house with her mom, her two sisters, and her two nieces. That's pretty crowded. It's two crowded. Um. So, uh, you know, I just think because because don't I'll put it this way. Don't you think it's a little odd that she didn't say, let's wait a while after you proposed, you know, let's wait a little while. What's the rush? I would like to get to know you a little better, um, I have to be sure about who I bring my kids around, et cetera, et cetera. Usually women with kids required that you know, but but not this one. She was. She was pretty eager to jump one in. Uh, you know, like you're some sort of captain save to her and her kids, will you know, have their own place? She was thinking, they'll have their own rooms with you. This is great, this is perfect for them. So to you, I say, if you don't want to marry her, get out now, because it's not gonna get any better if you guys get married. Steve, Wow, this letter so stupid. Dear Stephen Shirley. You know this thirty six year old mail has misjudged his fiance, But let me tell you how quickly he misjudging. Now, he met this woman on social media long distance relationship for five most and you visited her, and you said after the first vision you should have known better than to pursue her. And here's why. She thirty two years old. She lived with her mama, her three children, her two sisters, and two nieces. Okay, that's a lot dog a a lot of people living in the house. But then here where you got see you met her on social media, and he was here. What you said? She's always well put together and she got her own tax business, So I gave it a chance. Dog, That ain't why you gave it a chance. Here's the real reason. She's the most beautiful woman I've ever met, with long golden brown hair and freckles on her nose. She also got a body like Serena Williams. Now you got that everybody. Then guess what? So after five months of dating her, I asked her to marry me. Boy boy, freckles on the nose, long golden brown hell and the body like Serena Williams. And five months of that, you asked her to marry you. So you didn't ignore her living conditions, right, the three kids, to staying with her mama, her two sisters, two nieces. You know that all because of the body like Serena Williams. Don't what this all about? Five months of that Serena Williams body, and you asked her to marry you. Then your dumb ass, Well, she said she wants you to meet the kids. She says she'd bring them over next time she comes. And she ain't left get us after the break. Hang on, all right, We'll have part two of Steve's response coming up at twenty three minutes after the hour, subject she loves me, I love her not. We'll get back into it right after this. You're listening show, all right, Come on, Steve, let's recap today's strawberry letter. The subject she loves me, I love her not. Yeah, we got a problem with this letter right here. Thirty six year old man. Didn't miss judge your fiance. You didn't miss judge her. You didn't miss judge your dog. You didn't pay attention to it. You didn't misjudge. You passed the other judgment. See, you didn't miss judge you. When you found out you saw on social media highlight reel was incredible. She on I g with all the banging outfits, everything, all this hill. But when you visited hug she was thirty two, live with her mama, her three kids, her two sisters and two nis. But she was always well put together. She had her own tax bill. So you gave her a chance. Now, this is why you gave her a chance to She the most beautiful woman I've ever met, long, golden brown hair, freckles on the nose, She got a body like Serena will. So after five months of Dayton, five damn months, you asked her to marry you. That's all. It took a body like Serena, some long hail, and some damn freckles, and now you want to get married, boy, you do. She was overjoyed. Shirley said she wanted to bring the kids and next time she came to my house. Now the dude say, he only got two bedrooms and I use your third bedroom as an office in my gym. Well, the next week she came with the kids on a Sunday. We got them settled. He got to work on Monday. He come home from work. It smells like she's been in that fried chicken and ball and chitlings. The two year old diaper is off and in the middle of the floor. That was the chitlings right now. Because that two year old can walk now, he probably took it off hisself. My little grandson could do that. He took a dive off the other day and just walked off from it and I walked right into it, turned right around when he got his damn daddy, I'm not touching it. Then left the dive in the middle of the floor. That was an a mattress in your office. The eight year old said, his mom bought it so he could have his own room. So now this boy got his own room. The six year old girl was sitting there playing with your laptop and your fiance. The most beautiful woman in the world, with the long brown hair, with the freckles and the body like Serena. She was in bad watching TV in her bonnet and pajamas. Bonnet, bonnet, you gotta keep your hair together all day, the bonnet. I told her the house was a mess. She said, that's how it is when you got kids. Quarantine all day. Okay, So now babay kids have moved into your house. You got Babay kids, and they and that tann it up. So now it's been three weeks. All we do is argue about discipline and cleaning up out of falling out of love with her. She'd made herself at home, and she thinks we're still getting married. How do I tell her it's time for her and her kids to leave? Hey, Serena, it's time for you and your kids to leave. Hey, Serena, I ain't in love with you no more. I don't know what the hell I was saying, thinking about and after five months you could say that, right, Hey, Serena, I'm not even in love with you anymore. A matter of fact, I misjudge you. A matter of fact. It's all on me. I'm stupid, I forgot. I don't even want to be married. Oh, it's gonna be a fight. She gonna have to go back over there with her mom and d Yeah, but you're sitting up in here, man, with baby kids, telling your house up, your three bedroom apartment gone. Now. I don't mind the kids, the amount of kids. That ain't what I'm talking about. Your problem is the way they're spreading on you, bro, me personally, you gotta get out of there, and the best way to do it is just to say it's right, this ain't good right here, man, coming home, damn, sending them in my laptop like six, playing on like this, like this a tablet or something, no toy. That's what happened, Steve. Right when you only have known someone for five months, that's exactly right. But five months and you have to marry you. What did she do to you? Now? She obviously good at it. I got that. Yeah, she didn't turned you out? Now, bro, she ain't who you thought she was. You cannot marry this woman though. First of all, you ain't in love with her, so you should never marry anybody you ain't in love with it. But secondly, though, bro, that house is gonna be nasty for a long time. This I do when you got kids, and you obviously ain't got no kids. Now you got a whole family. It's a lot. This is a lot. This way, it passed a lot. Yeah, it's too much. Yeah, yeah, I just drive. But it's his house every day. Y'all just ruined my credit for seven years. Man. That's all right. I'm gonna p all right, thank you Steve for you comment. Sunday Day.

The reigning NFL MVP, Aaron Rodgers won't's out of Green Bay, right, Yeah, Aaron Rodgers won't out. You know, last year the draft, the drafted his replacement, Jordan Love out of Utah out of Utah State. This year they didn't draft him any help at any of the positions. And now he wants out his contract. He would They will offer him a new contract. He would be the highest paid quarterback in the NFL. But he won't out. He won't you know what I'm saying, his new contract. Yeah, give one. They want to give him one. Man, But hold on, this is look at this, this is crazy part. Either he can go to San Francisco, great team, or he can go to Denver Broncos, be an asset there. But here another team in the hunt, the Cleveland Browns. Now what let me let me tell you what's so funny about Cleve Brown. The Cleveland Brown said they're not gonna get rid of Baker Mayfield for Aaron Rodgers. That is that really true in Cleveland? Up, that's a true statement. They're gonna ride it out with Baker because we would have to gut our team. We would have to lose too many valuable players. And we just had a great draft and we had a great offseason with free agency. So we give up Baker Mayfield for Aaron Rodgers. Yeah, but we don't know how much longer he gonna play, and we gonna have to give up too much. We got a great line, we got great running backs, we got a strong defensive open we gotta i mean, y'all detection. So what y'all wanted, you know? Okay, let's just say this though, would you take Aaron Roddy if you didn't have to give up everything? We just we're just all yeah, but that I don't think that's a real conversation. I'd be stunned if it is, because they'd have to give up a lot to get an Rodgers. But if we had a Rodgers, we're in the super Bowl. You you that with We're in the Super Bowl, as soon as he signed the line, we're a damn super I thought it, man, I thought it'd be a great placed the play old man with weapons like Odell Beckham Junior over there. Man, it would be a good it'd be a good city for me. You know all, I don't laughing. Y'all doing high. We know who ain't gonna be in the day. Wait we go. Can't you say that we got some stuff with reconstruction? All right, we'll be back with at the time of the hour. Right after this. You're listening to show they will do anything, I mean anything to stop our vote. Take a listen to the exchange from the Texas House when a Texas Democrat school to Texas Republican on the purity of the ballot box. Take a listen to this. That provision was drafted specifically to disenfranchise black people, black voters in fact, following the Civil War. Did you know that? No, that's that's I'm sorry to hear that. And are you familiar with white primaries. We've we've heard and read of such things. I'm glad you read about these disgusting thing. Yes, did you realize that that purity of the ballot box language in the Texas Constitution gave rise to all white primaries. No, no, I didn't. And did you know that this purity at the ballot box justification was also used during the Jim Crow area to prevent black people from voting. No, no, those are those are troubling things that I didn't know that was there. Did you know that in states accounts across the country that penal disenfranchisement schemes were put in place, including in Texas, as far back as eighteen forty five, to effectively lock African American people out of the political process. You're aware of this history. I wasn't aware of any kind of malicious intentnees of that term, okay. And the reason it was used is I looked at the Constitution because I believe our authority derived from the people. On that s gimize sounds expired. Okay, that's about And at how is he even a politician at this point? Is a Texas Republican? Well you know to that, we say, Steve Harvey, Nations, stay woke. The Four the People Act is headed to the Senate Rules Committee before our senators debate and amend the bill. Please call your senators, call them today and urge them to pass the most important voting rights reform of our generation. We need this. The Four the People Act will institute automatic voter registration, modernize voter registration systems, expand early voting requirements, allow universal access to vote by mail, restore the right to vote for people with felony convictions, and more. Okay, this is very important because you see what they're doing in these states where they don't want us to vote at all. Contact your member of Congress, your senator now and urge them to support the Four the People Acts. Go to when we all vote, dot org to get all of the information you need. Okay, I didn't know that. That's that's disheartening. I didn't know that at all. I didn't know that. I had no idea. Yeah, what are you doing in there? Surely the majority of people don't know, but they live. It's amazing how they don't know, but they still honor the policies without even knowing what's behind it. It's tradition. They just oh yeah, man, they just they just ain't go with something. Man, it's easy to do it because it ain't got nothing to do with you, right, Yes, sir, exactly, Yes, sir but the moment these situations got something to do with you, I bet you're gonna view it all together different. They were trying to stop you from voting, your constituents from voting. Our vote doesn't matter to them, but they showed trying to stop it though. Yeah it does matter. We showed them last election for sure, and we're gonna show them again too. Yes we are, Yes we are. We're gonna show them again next. We're gonna keep showing them. We're not just gonna show them for the presidential election. We're gonna show them for midturns turns on for the local elections. Because judges and uh, they appoint a mayor's appoint police chiefs, all of everything.
