Today's show is pre recorded. Y'all know what time. I don't know. Y'all have a sun giving them like the million bucks things and the stuffing me good Steve to mother for st Please, I don't join jo. You gotta turn you are you gotta turn to turn them out? Turn you got to turn out, turn the water to the water. Go. Come come on your thing. Ah huh, I sure will. Good morning, everybody. Are you are listening to the voice, Come on dig me now, one and only Steve Harvey got a radio show. Okay, I got something for you today. I'm gonna have a conversation this morning about my understanding of grace now that I've gotten older and I've come in to a better understanding of a lot of things I didn't know about when I was younger. This is just my interpretation of grace. Now once again, y'all listen to me. I ain't nobody's pastor, I ain't nobody's minister. So you know, I'm pretty sure you can go to church and get a far more extensive definition of one I'm giving you. I'm just talking to people. You know. Grace is this thing that that God provides for us and Grace's just things that you get that's really undeserving, you know. I mean, I look at my life as it is today. You know. Look, I work hard and I have faith in God that I do so things are going to happen in my life. But the way my life is now, I don't. I don't. I don't deserve all of this. I don't don't. I don't look at it that way. I have been the beneficiary of God's grace. I have aligned myself in a position to accept whatever grace God has for me, and it will be far abundant and exceedingly in anything you could think of. His grace supersedes anything you could possibly imagine. You know, the goals that I set and the aspirations that I shoot for, and the things that I have on my dream board. I have the faith that God give it to me. But what He does with grace, he gives you far more than that. He gives you what He has for you, not what you can see. You can't see all He has for you. It's impossible. Who are you? How can you possibly imagine what he can imagine? How can you possibly think? How he can think? How how can you possibly do what he can do. How can it be that isn't a single mind living or a collection of minds that could have thought of earth? What in your wildest imagination could have made you think of earth? The stars, the heavens, the oceans, the galaxy, the constellations? What in your mind? What in any man's mind? We can point at it and analyze it, but we show it couldn't have thought of it. So come on now, I'm talking about lining yourself up with God's grace, which he will give to you if you if you want some of it now. But now, his thing about grace, it can't be bought. If it could, if it could be bought, I'm telling you I would pour all the money I have and dump it into grace, because, after discovering what it is, it's this goodness that God shines on you simply as a reward of some type for his love for you and for you attempting for you, attempting to do right, not because you get it right. Because if He judged us purely on how we are the right and wrong of it, we would all be doomed, all of us, every last one of us would be doomed, because we all fall short, we all make mistakes, we all sin, we all get it wrong from time to time. Nobody's perfect. Man. Now I understand what my mother was saying about cleaning the house. All I want is a little more grace. All I need is a little more grace when the last time you ask God for some grace. Now, I'm not talking to you like I know everything. If you just benefit from His grace, which you already have, but if you're not aware of it, you don't know what's going on. Become aware of grace, Get aware of the fact that God does things for you simply because He loves you. He does things for you that you don't even deserve. Somehow, you just wonder how you just got over when you didn't even do the things to get over. Sometimes you don't even know how you got that job you got when you ain't even really do the things to get the job. How you end up where you are all education you thought you went and got and had, How you end up where you are today in a much better position than your education could have ever gotten you. That's grace. How I get every place I am today. I didn't plan this, man. If I could have planned my life, the way it is. Don't you know how to have have done it? When I was living in that car? If I knew how to do it, No, I benefited from his grace. I'm just a beneficiary of his grace, of his goodness and his mercy. God's goodness is better than your goodness. God's goodness is better than your mother's goodness. It's better than your wife's or your husband or your booze goodness. God's goodness is different. His goodness man covers some stuff you can't even imagine. So why are you trying to put your life together when the last time you asked him for just a little bit of grace? When have you thought of your life in terms of the grace that it has already benefited from? Have you ever done that? Man? Just thought about you know? You hear songs like my soul look back and wonder how I got over. That's grace. That's all I can call it. Now. Like I say, you can go at church or somewhere ever you want to and ministers that the wind at school to teach this thing way better than me. I'm just giving you from a layman standpoint. Man, have you thought about his grace? Would you not bewailed to be a beneficiary of his grace? Would it not say? Now, check this out. The better you try to do, the more grace he'll give to you. And that grace can't be bought, Like I said, it's free. You can't purchase grace. But the better you try to become, the more the more grace he gets to put your way. So man, just try, why don't you just try to do better? Look, man, quick tip. Mind, I'm gonna start next week. I'm gonna start at the new year. Now you now you do that every year, you know the ems at the new year, we eat better at the new year. I'm gonna I'm gonna gonna get in here and the new year. If you're gonna do it, you're gonna do it now. Man, you're gonna do not stop trying to do something, do it, stop talking about it, do it now. The best way to benefit from his grace is starting action now in old w now, right now today. What you're waiting on. All you're doing is delaying his opportunity to bless you. You know, man, you know, do you know how many times we do that? We delay his opportunity to bless us by not starting now. If you're gonna get healthy, why don't you start now? Now? You're gonna trip a little bit called the holidays coming, But you ain't got to eat bad all the time. You could start eating correct today you could. You could and then guess what that could be? Some grace on the end of that. I'm just giving you a little cheap analogy. But do you feel what I'm saying to you? Start thinking in terms of grace? What He has done for you and provided for you that you ain't even see coming. That you know, you keep calling them blessings and I got that a lot of it and us all it is. But man, have you thought about the stuff that didn't happen to you? You can't account for I. For me, that's been grace and I'm beneficiary of it. And that's available to everybody that won'ts. So next time you're talking to him, just check in with grace. See what that is. That's that's better than money. You're listening tow ladies and gentlemen, let me have it your undivided attention. This is the Steve Harvey Morning Show on this very very blessed Friday morning. Friday y'all, that's what it is. Belab believe a little bit, Belie I hear is Friday. I just got paid.

Coming up next we're gonna do a little ass the CLO with the Chief Love Officer Steve Harvey in the building. Right after this, you're listening to Steve Harvey Morning Show time. Now for ask the clo. Chief Love Officer Steve Harvey is in the building. This one CLO is from Felicia in Philly. Felicia says, I'm twenty eight years old and my father is only fifteen years old older than me, and that's a problem. My mother is the same age as he, but she asks her age. My father is everywhere I go, dating women my age and still getting in fights in the club. He's childish and ghetto, so I try to steer clear of him in public. He got arrested last week for public intoxication and I went to pick him up from jail and he smelled like weed. Is there any way to make him grow up? Oh? That jail usually does it. Jail quick jail, Lisa asked, whooping thanks like this? So I don't really know that there's anything that you can do, per se, because this is some stuff that's lacking in him, and I don't think that you can provide it for him as a twenty eight year old female. The only suggestion I have is to go to him and have a heart to heart and say, you're my dad. I love you. Your an embarrassment to me, and I wish you would be act more like a father than try to act like a peer. I don't want to see you in the club. I don't want you embarrassing me. Would you focus on being my father before you ruin our relationship. That's the only thing I could say. You might contrive, all right, selo, thank you? Oh all right. Spears in New Orleans says, I'm in my mid thirties and I'm balding early, so I need your advice. I'm a fairly large man, and I wear a lot of hats to hide my thinning hair. I'm not secure enough in my looks to go ahead and cut off all my hair. Steve, I know you, Tommy and Jay are all bald and you have nice shaped heads. If I cut off my hair, I will look like mister potato head. What inspired you to go bald? How can I get that kind of confidence? Well, first of all, Spears, let me help you out with. So you're thirty, you're not comfortable with where you look, and you've got a little overweight. So now use the big fat ball head ugly ass man. Where does that say that? It's in the letter and it's hidden. You have to know how to do this. Now, I'm been fairly large man, fairly large. That's fat age. When when a man saying I'm fairly large, what we're saying an interpretation for a man is my ass is fat. I'm a fact. There's nothing wrong with that. It's how we are as men. You can't solve problems unless you admit you have one. Now, he's not attractive. He didn't say that. What what reading Readok? There you go right there? What that means, Shirley, I'm not secure? What that's ugly? That's what that is. See. I know what he's going through because I did it. Listen to me, Spears, I was not secure in my looks cause I was. I was. I was ugly. I still am technically, but I have fixed myself at the bank. I have fixed myself where I'm perfectly comfortable with my fat, ugly age. Now listen to me before this ball spot start doing some things you don't want it to do. Spears, let it go, don't fight it. Don't fight this. Am I right, Jake, You're not going to win this fight. That bald is undefeated. Okay, they have never lost. The matter ball has never lost. Baldness has no cure even buy rogue. Ain't all you want to You ain't been due.

Time now for today's headlines, ladies and gentlemen, miss Anne Tripp, thank you very much, and good morning everyone. On this Friday morning. Tornadoes killed at least five people yesterday in Alabama, and at least fourteen thousand people are without power this morning, all of them in Calhoun County that's just a little south of Birmingham. There may be more twistra activity, according to forecasts in the area anywhere from Mississippi to Georgia to Tennessee in Kentucky. So everybody in that area on pins and needles this morning, and we certainly pray for them. President Biden held his first news conference yesterday since becoming commander in chief. Entity announced a newer any even the more ambitious of COVID vaccination goal, two hundred million Americans inoculated by the conclusion of his first one hundred days in office. Mister Biden's first day to Goo, you may remember, was to have one hundred million people given at least one shot within a hundred days, but that feat was accomplished early. The President also says he intends to attack the problems of climate change, gun control, immigration reform, and the crumbling or inadequate infrastructure we've got in this country, which he says directly affects the ability and the availability of good paying jobs, which he plans to address later today. By the way, in Pittsburgh, what's the first thing the business asked, what's the close access to the Interstate Highway? How far am I from freight rail? There's enough water available for me to conduct my business. All the things that relate to infrastructure that's right, and mister Biden reacted strongly by the Way over word that the Republican dominated Georgia legislature had passed extremely restrictive voting laws and how many other state lawmakers are planning to do the same thing. He called it all sick. It's sick. It's sick. Deciding in some states that you cannot bring water to people standing in line waiting to vote, Deciding that you're going to end voting at five o'clock when working people are just getting off work, Deciding that there will be no absentee ballots under the most rigid circumstances. The Republican voters I know find this despicable. Republican voters. I'm not talking about the elected officials. I'm talking about voters. This makes Jim Crowe look like Jim eagle Man. This is gigantic what they're trying to do, and it cannot be sustained well. Officials for the Centers for Disease Controlled by the Way say they have now identified and gotten rid of a lot of guidance documents that were released by the Trump administration that scientists say, we're not really based in science. An internal review by the CDC sites three reports issued by Donald Trump's Whitehouse that had to go part of the agency's pledge to restore public's trust in the CDC. Finally, the City of Boston scheduled to pay tribute today to the late actor Lenda Nemo. Yeah, that one, mister Spock. Lend Nimoy was born in Beantown March twenty sixth, nineteen thirty one. He died in twenty fifteen. Not back to the Steve Harvey Morning Show. You're listening Steve Harvey Morning Show. All right, come on, Steve, introduce your bestie. He is here, lady and gentleman.

So we've all heard about Krispy Kreme Donuts. They're giving away free donuts if you get a COVID nineteen vaccine. Well, uh, Stephen, the guys are here with more companies who could give away free stuff just like krispy KREMEE take it away, guys. You know, Krispy Kreme es is given away like Shirley said, oh, a donut to anybody to show up with the COVID vaccination, you know, to give you that call, right And yeah, I thought this was nice.

We wanted to just reach out and talk to you and see it. Just make you ware of what was going on. Okay, What's what's going on? Man? There's been a mix up on on scheduling. I don't know if you know such the Older make she passed away a week ago and you're not You're not a member of the church, so you wouldn't know it. But she's one of the one of the oldest members here at the church. Such the Older may passed away. And what's going on? Is you all's wedding is tomorrow at twelve o'clock, right, but the actual funeral is at three o'clock here at the church. Okay, uh, but Shae begin brother with Josh Josh. Okay, look here, brother Josh, um hey man, we we we already got this thing in motion. Man, we didn't stand out. Dad. Are two the limitations, man, I mean, blessed old man and and and I understand that, but but but I mean, you know, she's there's no way we could have moved it around. Now. The biggest problem, the funeral home is bringing the casket first thing in the morning. So what I want, what I wanted to make you aware of, and I didn't want you to tell your wife this, but the actual casket will be in the saint uary, but we will have it. Hold of man, are you serious? Now? Look at the y'all need to move this round. I don't know what y'all gonna do. Y'all have a fellowship hall in the back or something like that. Ryan. The only place we can actually put the casket, and if we didn't put it there is in the actual room that you'll you'll soon to be wife would be changing in. That's the only place my wife infortually changing the room with the dead body. So you're telling me what it was, and you know what, I understood that. That's the first thing I thought of. I thought. I said, let's just put the casket way it goes for the fun of them, and we're gonna cover it up and see. Basically, you actually get in. But I can't even believe you call on me with man, look at and excuse my french man. Yeah, I knew I need to get back in the church. I really do. But right now, Dug this ain't going down like this man, we didn't already pay the money. And first first, first of all, first of all, you know she shouldn't. I don't even feel like she may had to pay, you know, to hold no wedding over a hut hurt where she paid times at. That's that's the first thing. You know. I ain't like that from the jumping. But I wouldn't hear when women because she want her pasta to marry us. And now you got to nerd to tell me that y'all will arrange something that for funeral gonna happen the same day as my wedding and my wife's got to get dressed in the room with a dead body. Well, no, we're not gonna put it in that room. Was like I said, I'm putting that body first thing in the morning. I'm gonna put that body in the right there in front of the fullpit, and we're gonna cover it. Now, what you're getting out of is you get more flowers, because there's gonna be flowers from the fuel. So I'm thinking that's probably gonna be a little bit of a pert point. I just wanted you to be one's probably gonna be more people than you think, because some of the people that's gonna be as your wedding, it's really for the funeral. Hey, hold on, man, are you serious? Frighten? Ow? I mean looking at doctor.

Thank you, nephew. Subject praise and a raise. Dear Stephen Shirley, I'm a thirty one year old married woman and my marriage is basically over. A year ago, a twenty four year old female called me and said she's been sleeping with my husband and sent me a picture of him in her bed. Right after that, I had to be quarantined with this man, so I made the best of it. By December, I had started having virtual counseling sessions with my pastor. He was one of the first to be vaccinated in our community, so he encouraged me to do face to face sessions. He told me to get myself together and tap into my inner beauty and my great physique. He really helped me change my mindset from victim to conqueror. He tell me that he could show me how I should be loved, and I went with it. At that point, I would have done whatever he told me to do because he had me under his spell. He started making passionate love to me once a week, and it really helped my self esteem. His love making gave me you heard me. His love making gave me the courage to file for divorce and ask for a raise at work. I never used my femininity to my advantage. I dressed sexy for my boss and asked him for the raise. He asked me to show him why I deserved a raise, and by the look on his face, I knew exactly what to show him. He saw what he needed to see and even got to rub it and bam, I got a twenty percent raise. I know I sound trifling af and that's fine. But men do what they do all of the time, so why is it wrong if I enjoy the game a little bit with them. The pastor is married, but he is such a great lover. I still see him occasionally for sex. He jokes that he's created a monster, but I'm just glad. I got my mojo back. I don't plan to keep this up forever, but if I do, what's the worst that can happen? Isn't this how the world works now? Just curious? Well for starters, the worst that could happen is that you could get killed and go to hell if his wife caught you guys then decided to get revenge. You could get killed Hell is for continually breaking the lord's commandment to not commit adultree Or how about you could just get a disease or something. I mean, there are a lot of bad things that could happen to you. There are a lot of bad things that could happen to you. You're talking about what's the worst that could happen? So casually, so cavalier with your attitude about this. Why don't you why don't you stop now that you've gotten, as you say, your mojo back, since that's what you were trying to do. Yeah, leave the married pastor alone. I mean, you certainly didn't like it when your husband was cheating on you, now, did you? And the thing is with your boss, you probably could have gotten a raise anyway without exposing yourself to your boss. I mean, you don't have to do that. Huh what I didn't hear you, Steve. I'm no, oh not twenty percent. Well, anyway, you say the pastor's love making gave you the courage to file for divorce and ask for a raise at work, Okay, well, keep the courage part of it, Keep the empowerment stuff you have going on. All of that you could do all you could still do all of that. But you know you don't have to give yourself away like this. You know you could be strong, you could be empowered, and you don't have to do it this way. I still believe you could have gotten the raise anyway, twenty percent or whatever you want it. You know, if, if, if you're the right kind of employee, you would have gotten it. Believe more in yourself. You say you got your mojo back. Make sure that you have your self esteem and don't go out here and let people use you, all right, don't do that, Steve, I see so much this lady she tripping, She thirty one year old married woman. Twenty four year old Lady Colin said she would to sleep with her sent a picture to her, so now her marriage is over it, but she had to quarantine with the man. So she made the best of it. By December, she started having virtual counseling sessions with her pastor. Then she jumps and says, he was one of the first to be vaccinated in our community, so he encouraged me to do face to face sessions. Where did he get the vaccine? I mean this was by December. I started having virtual counseling session with the pastor. He was one of the first to be vaccinated in our community, so he encouraged me to do face to face sessions. When did he get the vascine? Certainly this wasn't available back in December. Nobody knew it but him. I'm just thinking maybe she had been counseling for a while and then he suggested to do face to face. He told me to get myself together and tap into my inner beauty and my great physique. What kind of counseling is this? Yeah, who in the counseling meeting tells you to tap into your inner beauty? Got that and your great physique? Damn past He really helped me change my mindset from victim to conqueror. Then she said, at that point, I do whatever he told me. He started making passionate love to me once a week, what women hold over? He told me that he could show me how it could be loved. And I went with it and and it changed me, and it helped me because he had me on. He started making passionate out to me once week and it helped my self esteem. Helped your self esteem? No, he helped himself. His love making gave me the courage to file for divorce and ask for a raid. What did he do to you? And those two things don't go together? He did you so good you went in there, got a divorce and ask for a raise. I want to know what did pastor do to you to make you jump? I'm on a damn divorce and damn it, give me a raise too. Past hold that thought, Steve. We'll have part two of your response coming up at twenty three minutes after the hour. Today's Strawberry Letters subject praise and a raise. We'll get back into it right after this. You're listening to Steve Harvey Morning Show. All right, come on, Steve, let's recap today's strawberry letters. Subject praise and a raise, Praise and raise. Here's the third one year old woman, Mary, twenty four year old woman sends her a picture of her husband in bed with him. This starts the demise of the marriage. Of course, their quarantine last year and she hated it, but she started doing virtual counseling with her pastor in December. He was the first one to get fascinated, so he encouraged her to do face to face sessions. I guess after a while he really did. He told me to get myself together, tap into my inner beauty and my great physique. What pastor does this? So this is Reverend Trickey. Reverend Tricky told her that, and then he said he really helped me change my mindset from victim mc conqueror. He told me that he could show me how I should be loved, and I went with it. At that point I had done whatever he did because he had me on this spell. Okay, he really helped you change your mindset. You don't see him helping himself, all right. He started making passionate love to me once a week, and it really helped my self esteem. Really, it would help everybody's self esteem. I bet it did a lot for the past and self esteem too. I guess his counseling rage must have went through the roof his love making gave me the courage to file for divorce and ask for a raise at work. What did this pastor do to you that was so outstanding? I want to divorce Ana damn raised. Then she says, I never used my femininity to my advantage. I dressed sexy for my boss and I asked him for the raise. He asked me to show him why I deserved the raise, and by the look on his face, I knew exactly what to show him. He saw what he needed to see and he even got to rub it and then bam, I got a twenty raised, sister, the pastor did all this for you. All of this goes back to the pastor raising yourself esteem or did he raise something else in you? Because he seems to have brought out a devious side of you has nothing to do with self esteem, So I need I think you need to think about that, because you even said, I know I sound trifling, Alfie, and that's fine. But men do what they do all the time, So why is it wrong if I enjoy the game a little bit with them? You wrote us, we didn't even know nothing about this. We didn't even know. We didn't know you was doing none of this. See, so now you you know this is wrong because you said, I know I sound trifling al and that's fine. But men do what they do all the time. So why is it wrong if I end joy the game a little bit with them? Well, me and Sherley don't know you, so we didn't know you was trifle. You just told us you was trifling. Now we agree with you, But this is all based on what you said. The past is married. You think that's smart, But he is such a great lover. I still see him occasionally for sex. He jokes that he created a monster. This funny to the past man. I still okay, But I'm glad I got my mojo back. You got what back. You was fine before that. You had the same body before that. You just didn't have this stupid attitude you got. That's doing a lot of stuff that ain't gonna benefit you. I don't plan to keep this up forever. When you're gonna stop. See, once you start down the dark path and it gets you what you want. How you know how many dudes I know that we're selling drugs, talking about as soon as I buy this, I'm gonna stop. But if I do. What's the worst that can happen? Isn't this how the world works? Now? Just curious? Yeah, this is how the falling works now exactly. The falling world works exactly like this. But that don't mean you have to be a participant. Now, what's the worst thing can happen to you? Disease? What's the the worst thing? You get your ass? Will? Ye? Who's gonna whip your ass? The boss's wife, the pastor's wife. You can end up in hell? See what your departure you're missing? The pastor used you and deceived you to get what he wanted. Now the part where he created a master. Now you're doing what you want to do to get what you want. Ain't that how the world work? Well? Okay, well yeah, that's how the world work. Up. The world also climbs the wall at the Capitol Building January six, The world walks into a supermarket and kills ten people in Boulder, Colorado. The world goes into movie theaters and shoot people. The world does a lot of things, But why would you get involved with it? Just because you can do something don't mean you should do something. That's right, young lady, you better get some morality in your life and really get some self esteem about yourself and stop just passing yourself out like it's popcorn. Because let me tell you something about popcorn. All popcorn, even with the metal top own, it gets stale after while. Come on, big dog, once she opened popcorn, it gets stale. That's rights hit popcorn, even if it's garrets. All right, Steve, thank you. Post your comments on today's Strawberry Letter at Steve Harvey FM on Instagram and Facebook, and check out the Strawberry Letter podcast on demand coming up at forty six minutes after the hour. Our good friend Junior will be doing sports in Sports Talk with Junior right after this. You're listening to Steve Harvey Morning Show. Junior is here with Sports Talk. What you got for us today, Junior? Okay, this is this crazy? This is different. I'll just say that it's different. The Miami Heat are played in the open two sections at American Airlines Arena for fans who are fully vaccinated. Now they are really redefining the VIP section. It's now called the Vaccinated Important People's Section. It's still VIP. Yeah, you still have to wear a mask, but the social distance rules have been a little more relaxed and in those sections the floor seats. Wow, so all you have to do with your show proof of your CDC vaccinated car and you would give vaccinated wrist bands and then you have a seat in the lower level. Now, if you want to sit on the floor in the vaccinated fans section, you will still have to take a rapid COVID test on site since you so close to the teams. But it's only two sections, that's it. It's not like, I mean, how big is two sections? What were talking about? Two hundred people? People? You know? Well, I mean you know some people that take that, you know, just to get back in the game, see something lives. They started slowly opening this thing up. Yeah, they need to have something down there for them people that was at the beach, is what I'm saying. Focus on the people, bring break is all I'm saying. Well, we need to get that vaccinated. That's super spread of event. Yeah yeah, yeah, but I think it's a good thing for the Miami Heat though. I think it's good for basketball. We gotta slowly over the backup. You're right, man, because I would love to go to a game right now too. Man, You would, I really would but if you're if you're in the VIP section and you call one time, I thought that I thought it was to out. You gotta go. Just your throat. If you clear to Yale for the team, Jake, let's go heat, you're out. Try to cover that. You try to cover that with the here. Yeah, you gotta go. You gotta get money over here. We're not falling for that. That is not what we're doing. So when things do open up, what's the first thing. Where's the first place you're gonna go? I mean, is it gonna be to a sports game, Junior? Or I want to live? What about you, Steve, I'm gonna I want to go to the restaurant Helpton with my wife m right man, and we got to get this thing back. Oh yeah, get back. That's the only thing I missed going out to dinner. I don't go to the live shows. Hell, I've been the live show for Yeah, you were for us the majority of your life. You're still the show. I got ve shows. Yeah, see a movie. Yeah, that's what I want to do. All right? Coming up at the top of the hours, Stay woke, Georgia voting rights are under attack. We'll talk about it. Right after this, you're listening to the Stay Harvey Morning Show. Well the Dirty South for real? Okay, yesterday, Republicans in Georgia passed a bill forcing new voting restrictions. The bill passed in the Georgia Senate thirty four to twenty, and Governor Bryant Kemp signed it. According to CNN, the law imposes new voter identification requirements for absentee ballots, empowers state officials to take over local election boards, limits the use of ballot drop boxes, and makes it a crime to approach voters in line and give them food or water. The Georgia goops are calling it the Election Integrity Act. What do you guys think about that Election Integrity Act? It's just blatant open voter suppression. And these folks man will do anything and see now, so what they're gonna do now is they're gonna limit the amount of voting boxes. Right. So, now that's gonna mean they're gonna condense the voting poles down to smaller locations, which means longer lines. So now, if you can't bring anybody food to water, that discourages some people to vote. You understand they're looking at all they trying to do is find a way to get twenty thousand disgrunted voters so they can turn to Georgia state right back red like it was. And this is how you just this is how you create twenty thousand disgruntable. Not to mention the proof that you got to have to vote in all this stuff that they're talking about. They're finding the way to come up with the twenty thousand votes so they can win. Man, this is like craziness, man, and that's nothing, no good control laws. But they Russian to do this, Steve, I'm talking about right now. But I don't see how. There's got to be something. It's there. The bill is going to require a photo ID to vote absentee by mail. So is the bill passed? Yeah, it's it's in. Yeah, I believe it is. Yeah, it's the new bill. It is Steve yes yesterday and the governor signed it. It's going to require photo ID to vote absentee by mail, cut the time period voters have to request an absentee ballot, and then limit where ballot drop boxes can be placed and when they can be accessed. So I mean this is really yeah yeah, yeah, um so we're gonna have to put water and food and snacks and our purses. I look at it like this. What what they don't realize is black folks been standing in line for a long damn time. We used to standing in line waiting on something, so we don't really have a problem. I mean, it's wrong, but we're not gonna have a problem trying to vote your ass out. You gotta come better than that. If that's all you got is to make us wait. Hell, we've been waiting a long damn time, and we will wait ten hours, thirteen hours to vote your ass out, So you gotta do better than that. Instead of them trying to bring more people to that party, they want to stop the people who are against that party to vote that. I don't think that's gonna work. It's work, because it's not gonna work. We are going to prepare our people, Yes we are. We're going to prepare our voters. We're going to over educate them. We got we we got photo ID, Yes, we got water, we got all of us got that. You ain't gonna give us no water a dog. We're gonna bring coolers down there. We could. What you're not going to do next, you're not getting this power back. We've waited four hundred years to just be treated equal. We got eight hours to get your ass out. Yep, all facts upon anybody who's ever wrote the bus don't mind waiting, damn it, So bring it. That's all you got. If that's all you got, come on, it's not gonna work. We're gonna, we're gonna, we're gonna, we're gonna fight back, gonna backfire because yeah, we're going to vote and get them out of office. It don't matter what you say, We're going to vote. All right, we'll have more of today's trending stories at twenty minutes after the hour, right after this. You're listening to show. All right. When we left off, we were talking about this new Georgia law trying to suppress our votes. Basically, that's what it is. You guys were saying, we've waited and we'll continue to wait. Used to wait, We used to any lady. Black people don't know about waiting. Any lady that's been to any beauty shop head get their head done. No wait, look, and I don't care what time your appointment is. You are waiting, Okay, Yeah, that Republic I'm gonna tell you another place to be waiting. A black people have been waiting for so long. I'm gonna tell you we've been waiting for the family to show up for the funeral so we can go in the church. Do you know it is the limo here? Are they hearing?
