00:02:26,080 --> 00:02:30,600
Speaker 1: some type of gratitude for all his blessings. I'm just

15
00:02:30,680 --> 00:02:36,280
Speaker 1: trying to man, just just get it right sometimes, you

16
00:02:36,280 --> 00:02:37,919
Speaker 1: know what I mean. I mean, man, you just can't

17
00:02:38,040 --> 00:02:40,079
Speaker 1: do what you want to do and just live wrong

18
00:02:40,200 --> 00:02:42,480
Speaker 1: all the time. Man, you got it at one point

19
00:02:42,480 --> 00:02:45,520
Speaker 1: in time, Steve, come home. Man, come on, man, you

20
00:02:45,520 --> 00:02:49,079
Speaker 1: could do better. I know you can, you know saying,

21
00:02:49,120 --> 00:02:50,520
Speaker 1: and you know what I had to do. I had

22
00:02:50,520 --> 00:02:53,640
Speaker 1: to stop saying. I'm gonna try to do better, and

23
00:02:53,720 --> 00:02:55,720
Speaker 1: I just had to say, hey, man, I'm going to

24
00:02:55,800 --> 00:02:59,320
Speaker 1: do better. You know, trying it is just to put

25
00:02:59,360 --> 00:03:01,919
Speaker 1: forth an effort and then if it don't work, well okay.

26
00:03:02,360 --> 00:03:03,880
Speaker 1: But if you make up in your mind and I'm

27
00:03:03,880 --> 00:03:08,160
Speaker 1: going to do something, then trying isn't enough. It's getting

28
00:03:08,160 --> 00:03:10,560
Speaker 1: it done is the only thing that matters. Sin It's

29
00:03:10,560 --> 00:03:13,880
Speaker 1: the difference between doing and trying. We're gonna try to

30
00:03:13,919 --> 00:03:15,840
Speaker 1: win the game, or we're gonna go out here to

31
00:03:15,919 --> 00:03:18,680
Speaker 1: win the game. Now, trying to win the game means

32
00:03:18,680 --> 00:03:21,480
Speaker 1: that you could lose. But when you got in your

33
00:03:21,480 --> 00:03:24,600
Speaker 1: mind made up, most athletes will tell you that they

34
00:03:24,639 --> 00:03:27,120
Speaker 1: go out there with the full intent and purpose of

35
00:03:27,160 --> 00:03:31,040
Speaker 1: winning and winning. Only see they don't put the second

36
00:03:31,040 --> 00:03:34,400
Speaker 1: place finish on the cover Sports Illustrated. Second place don't

37
00:03:34,440 --> 00:03:38,200
Speaker 1: get you there. You got to win. And now take

38
00:03:38,240 --> 00:03:40,240
Speaker 1: it out of the scope of athletics, but keep it

39
00:03:40,240 --> 00:03:43,520
Speaker 1: in that type of type of analogy in life. Man,

40
00:03:43,560 --> 00:03:45,520
Speaker 1: you just want to you want to win in life,

41
00:03:45,520 --> 00:03:47,800
Speaker 1: don't you. I mean, at the end of the day,

42
00:03:47,840 --> 00:03:49,480
Speaker 1: don't you want to be on the cover of Sports

43
00:03:49,480 --> 00:03:52,840
Speaker 1: Illustrated the life Don't you want to be recognized for

44
00:03:52,920 --> 00:03:56,200
Speaker 1: your hard work. Don't you want, you know, to be

45
00:03:56,280 --> 00:03:59,440
Speaker 1: recognized within the bonus structure down at your job. Don't

46
00:03:59,480 --> 00:04:01,960
Speaker 1: you want to have your plaque up on the wall

47
00:04:02,000 --> 00:04:04,240
Speaker 1: down at your job? I mean most people do. Some

48
00:04:04,280 --> 00:04:07,080
Speaker 1: people could care less. Some people don't care about looking

49
00:04:07,120 --> 00:04:08,920
Speaker 1: good or being their best. And that's cool. But I

50
00:04:08,960 --> 00:04:11,800
Speaker 1: ain't talking to them though. I'm talking to you. I'm

51
00:04:11,800 --> 00:04:14,560
Speaker 1: talking to those of you who want to be the

52
00:04:14,600 --> 00:04:17,040
Speaker 1: best you can be. You know, people kill me when

53
00:04:17,080 --> 00:04:20,720
Speaker 1: they're getting mad at people here and he Brown knows

54
00:04:20,760 --> 00:04:22,880
Speaker 1: and he hall up on an employee of them. All. Man,

55
00:04:22,920 --> 00:04:25,160
Speaker 1: the dude doing his job to the best of his ability,

56
00:04:25,200 --> 00:04:27,480
Speaker 1: and he getting recognized for it? What they got to do?

57
00:04:27,520 --> 00:04:29,600
Speaker 1: It all that you're talking about because you ain't up there.

58
00:04:29,760 --> 00:04:33,279
Speaker 1: There's an amazing man, how people describe other people's success.

59
00:04:33,440 --> 00:04:36,960
Speaker 1: He's so lucky, lucky? Hey man, don't they kind of

60
00:04:36,960 --> 00:04:39,160
Speaker 1: get you a little bit when people call you lucky?

61
00:04:39,600 --> 00:04:41,680
Speaker 1: When let me tell you what luck really is, y'all.

62
00:04:41,960 --> 00:04:46,280
Speaker 1: Luck is when hard work bumps up into opportunity. Some

63
00:04:46,320 --> 00:04:49,840
Speaker 1: people call that luck. But hold on, let's think about this.

64
00:04:50,120 --> 00:04:54,080
Speaker 1: If you wasn't working hard an opportunity presented itself, what

65
00:04:54,160 --> 00:04:57,320
Speaker 1: would you call that. But see, when you've been working hard,

66
00:04:57,560 --> 00:05:00,240
Speaker 1: an opportunity presents itself and it bumps up into each other.

67
00:05:00,520 --> 00:05:03,000
Speaker 1: Now people want to call that luck. But hold up here,

68
00:05:03,040 --> 00:05:04,800
Speaker 1: go to part though to day, ain't paying no attention

69
00:05:04,800 --> 00:05:07,400
Speaker 1: to Yeah, that opportunity came by. But if you had

70
00:05:07,480 --> 00:05:09,919
Speaker 1: not been working hard and the hard work had not

71
00:05:10,000 --> 00:05:12,719
Speaker 1: ran up in the opportunity, what would you have? No, sir,

72
00:05:12,920 --> 00:05:16,479
Speaker 1: it's not luck, it's work. It is work, because as

73
00:05:16,520 --> 00:05:21,440
Speaker 1: a scripture that says, faith without works is dead. But

74
00:05:21,480 --> 00:05:23,800
Speaker 1: my mama was a Sunday school teacher. She taught me enough.

75
00:05:23,880 --> 00:05:26,640
Speaker 1: Though Now I know different between right and wrong, just

76
00:05:26,680 --> 00:05:29,839
Speaker 1: like you do. You ain't gotta you know itcus me

77
00:05:29,839 --> 00:05:32,440
Speaker 1: when people write a strawberry letter? Am I wrong for this?

78
00:05:32,560 --> 00:05:34,520
Speaker 1: You know? Gooding? Well, look at let's read your letter?

79
00:05:35,400 --> 00:05:37,320
Speaker 1: Are you wrong for this? You know you're wrong? What

80
00:05:37,440 --> 00:05:39,159
Speaker 1: you don't need that's to be telling, you know? But

81
00:05:39,200 --> 00:05:41,400
Speaker 1: I'm gonna do this anyway. Well e see, go ahead, though,

82
00:05:42,080 --> 00:05:44,960
Speaker 1: do what you want to do. But you know what, y'all,

83
00:05:45,240 --> 00:05:47,000
Speaker 1: here's the best advice I can give you. This is

84
00:05:47,000 --> 00:05:50,000
Speaker 1: what I really came to talk about this morning, but

85
00:05:50,120 --> 00:05:54,320
Speaker 1: I got sidetrack because I listened, get out of your

86
00:05:54,360 --> 00:05:57,600
Speaker 1: own way. So many of us are blocking our home

87
00:05:57,680 --> 00:06:02,040
Speaker 1: blessings were just in our own way. We are in

88
00:06:02,080 --> 00:06:05,719
Speaker 1: our own way. And one of the most dangerous ways

89
00:06:05,760 --> 00:06:08,440
Speaker 1: you can get in your way is to do it

90
00:06:08,520 --> 00:06:12,200
Speaker 1: your way, to get it figured your way, and to

91
00:06:12,360 --> 00:06:14,600
Speaker 1: lock in on your way and just the way it's

92
00:06:14,640 --> 00:06:17,240
Speaker 1: got to go. Do you know how many people are

93
00:06:17,279 --> 00:06:19,880
Speaker 1: blocking a blessing? Do you know how long I blocked

94
00:06:19,880 --> 00:06:24,680
Speaker 1: mine with that mindset? Right there? Look, because it's the

95
00:06:24,720 --> 00:06:26,200
Speaker 1: way you do it, Do you think that make it

96
00:06:26,240 --> 00:06:29,320
Speaker 1: the right way? You think jazz because you didn't thought

97
00:06:29,320 --> 00:06:31,479
Speaker 1: on it long and hard, and that's what you really want.

98
00:06:31,960 --> 00:06:34,000
Speaker 1: Do you really think that your way is the right

99
00:06:34,040 --> 00:06:37,080
Speaker 1: way or could that be a better way? See? Until

100
00:06:37,120 --> 00:06:40,159
Speaker 1: I started listening to God and started paying attention to

101
00:06:40,240 --> 00:06:44,000
Speaker 1: his way, man, I was spending my wheels. Man, I

102
00:06:44,080 --> 00:06:46,200
Speaker 1: was out here so determined this how I was going

103
00:06:46,240 --> 00:06:48,279
Speaker 1: to do it. But you know I had to learn

104
00:06:48,320 --> 00:06:50,600
Speaker 1: how to get out of my own way because just

105
00:06:50,720 --> 00:06:53,279
Speaker 1: because I could do it my way didn't mean it

106
00:06:53,320 --> 00:06:56,480
Speaker 1: was the right way. I had to get out of

107
00:06:56,560 --> 00:07:01,680
Speaker 1: my own way. Just get out your way, man, Now,

108
00:07:02,160 --> 00:07:07,560
Speaker 1: what what does that mean? That means? See? Set your goals.

109
00:07:08,960 --> 00:07:14,200
Speaker 1: That means have your dreams. That I'm saying, set your goals. Man,

110
00:07:14,440 --> 00:07:16,720
Speaker 1: I ain't saying don't set goals. Listen to me. Set

111
00:07:16,760 --> 00:07:19,120
Speaker 1: your goals. What is it you want to happen? What

112
00:07:19,280 --> 00:07:21,120
Speaker 1: is it you like to have? What is it you

113
00:07:21,280 --> 00:07:24,360
Speaker 1: like to be? What are you aspire to? Set your

114
00:07:24,400 --> 00:07:28,960
Speaker 1: goals and set your dreams. Now take your goals and

115
00:07:29,040 --> 00:07:35,080
Speaker 1: your dreams to God and ask God to show you how. Man,

116
00:07:35,320 --> 00:07:38,720
Speaker 1: you can save yourself a lot of pain. Listen to

117
00:07:38,800 --> 00:07:42,320
Speaker 1: somebody who did it his way for so long. And

118
00:07:42,400 --> 00:07:44,920
Speaker 1: when I finally got out of my way, out of

119
00:07:45,000 --> 00:07:48,280
Speaker 1: my own way. When you've heard old people say, let

120
00:07:48,320 --> 00:07:51,840
Speaker 1: go and let God, you've heard them say that I didn't.

121
00:07:51,840 --> 00:07:54,960
Speaker 1: I didn't get it, but I got it. Now let

122
00:07:55,000 --> 00:07:58,600
Speaker 1: go and let God. And it's amazing little saying. Though

123
00:07:58,880 --> 00:08:00,680
Speaker 1: now you know you may not get it now. It

124
00:08:00,720 --> 00:08:02,280
Speaker 1: took me a bunch of years to get it too.

125
00:08:02,720 --> 00:08:06,000
Speaker 1: But when I took my goals and my dreams and

126
00:08:06,080 --> 00:08:08,960
Speaker 1: my vision to God and I said, God, this is

127
00:08:09,000 --> 00:08:11,280
Speaker 1: what I hope for, this is what I aspired to,

128
00:08:11,400 --> 00:08:12,880
Speaker 1: this is what I want to be, this is why

129
00:08:12,920 --> 00:08:16,680
Speaker 1: I would love to get to. Then I said help me,

130
00:08:17,600 --> 00:08:20,880
Speaker 1: show me how point me in the right direction. Let

131
00:08:20,960 --> 00:08:24,640
Speaker 1: me follow your footsteps, guide me and give me a

132
00:08:24,680 --> 00:08:27,400
Speaker 1: spirit of discernment. Show me who wrong? Because I meet

133
00:08:27,400 --> 00:08:29,560
Speaker 1: people every day. Ain't up to no good with me

134
00:08:30,080 --> 00:08:34,319
Speaker 1: every single day. Oh man, Man, I can't believe I

135
00:08:34,480 --> 00:08:36,960
Speaker 1: run up into you. Man, the Lord told me something's

136
00:08:36,960 --> 00:08:39,560
Speaker 1: gonna happen to me today. Well, see, I talked to

137
00:08:39,640 --> 00:08:42,280
Speaker 1: him every day. He did not mention you to me.

138
00:08:42,960 --> 00:08:45,040
Speaker 1: He ain't said nothing to me. He didn't tell me

139
00:08:45,040 --> 00:08:46,600
Speaker 1: what was gonna happen in mind. Now, I don't mean

140
00:08:46,600 --> 00:08:50,360
Speaker 1: it can't happen because I'm open to it. So really, man,

141
00:08:50,800 --> 00:08:54,040
Speaker 1: I'm and and please know I'm listening as well as

142
00:08:54,040 --> 00:08:57,920
Speaker 1: I've ever listened before. But but get yourself together, though,

143
00:08:58,600 --> 00:09:00,800
Speaker 1: see no your goals in your dreams, and then let

144
00:09:00,800 --> 00:09:02,719
Speaker 1: God show you how to do it. He'll do it.

145
00:09:03,679 --> 00:09:06,959
Speaker 1: You know. It's so important everybody, that you get focused,

146
00:09:07,280 --> 00:09:10,360
Speaker 1: that you aim for something, that you dream of something,

147
00:09:10,640 --> 00:09:13,520
Speaker 1: that you aspire to something. But it's the most the

148
00:09:13,520 --> 00:09:16,080
Speaker 1: best thing you can do. After you do all that, Man,

149
00:09:16,360 --> 00:09:19,560
Speaker 1: get God involved in it. Man, talk to him. I mean,

150
00:09:19,600 --> 00:09:21,800
Speaker 1: why would you not what you got to lose? You

151
00:09:21,840 --> 00:09:23,400
Speaker 1: ain't got to go down there and make no big

152
00:09:23,440 --> 00:09:26,360
Speaker 1: scene and run laps around the church and run up

153
00:09:26,360 --> 00:09:29,240
Speaker 1: there and throw yourself on the altar and scream and

154

169
00:10:13,960 --> 00:10:18,319
Speaker 1: know why I sound glad a lot lately? Because I

170
00:10:18,360 --> 00:10:22,800
Speaker 1: have reached a new level of gratitude with my heavenly Father.

171
00:10:23,600 --> 00:10:28,360
Speaker 1: I just really man started understanding that and really really

172
00:10:28,400 --> 00:10:32,080
Speaker 1: facing the fact that the more gratitude I showed, the

173
00:10:32,120 --> 00:10:35,079
Speaker 1: more things he'll give me to be grateful for. So

174
00:10:35,120 --> 00:10:37,560
Speaker 1: I just decided to make it a very very conscious

175
00:10:37,720 --> 00:10:41,520
Speaker 1: effort to stay grateful, stay in touch with him, talk

176
00:10:41,559 --> 00:10:44,679
Speaker 1: with him continually, stop trying to figure my life out,

177
00:10:44,960 --> 00:10:46,800
Speaker 1: ask him what it is he wants me to do.

178
00:10:47,960 --> 00:10:52,320
Speaker 1: Give us this day our daily bread. And I'm telling you, man,

00:13:36,600 --> 00:13:41,680
Speaker 1: Unless you have more to say, nephew, Uncle Steve. Wow,

220
00:13:41,960 --> 00:13:45,040
Speaker 1: We're gonna do that right after this. You're listening to

221
00:13:45,200 --> 00:13:50,480
Speaker 1: the morning show, all right. So TikTok, TikTok. Yesterday was

222
00:13:50,520 --> 00:13:55,200
Speaker 1: the first public impeachment hearing um. The Democrats decided to

223
00:13:55,240 --> 00:13:59,000
Speaker 1: start the hearings with two State Department witnesses, Bill Taylor,

224
00:13:59,320 --> 00:14:03,240
Speaker 1: the top US diplomat in Ukraine, and Deputy Assistant Secretary

225
00:14:03,240 --> 00:14:06,800
Speaker 1: of State George Kent. Both Taylor and Kent have long

226
00:14:07,000 --> 00:14:10,679
Speaker 1: careers and deep experience with Ukraine in particular, and both

227
00:14:10,720 --> 00:14:14,720
Speaker 1: are rather appalled by what President Trump did with Ukraine.

228
00:14:14,920 --> 00:14:18,400
Speaker 1: Democratic Chairman Adam Schiff said in his opening statement, is

229
00:14:18,480 --> 00:14:23,120
Speaker 1: this what Americans should now expect from their president. Take

230
00:14:23,120 --> 00:14:26,320
Speaker 1: a listen. Is this what Americans should now expect from

231
00:14:26,320 --> 00:14:29,640
Speaker 1: their president? If this is not an impeachable conduct, what

232
00:14:30,000 --> 00:14:33,280
Speaker 1: is does the oath of office itself requiring that our

233
00:14:33,360 --> 00:14:36,880
Speaker 1: laws be faithfully executed, that our president defend a constitution

234
00:14:36,920 --> 00:14:41,280
Speaker 1: that balances the powers of its branches, setting ambition against ambition,

235
00:14:41,320 --> 00:14:45,160
Speaker 1: So we become no monarchy, still have meaning. These are

236
00:14:45,160 --> 00:14:48,160
Speaker 1: the questions we much ask an answer without rank, or

237
00:14:48,200 --> 00:14:52,040
Speaker 1: if we can without delay, regardless and without party favor,

238
00:14:52,360 --> 00:14:55,479
Speaker 1: and without prejudice, if we are true to our responsibilities.

239
00:14:55,720 --> 00:14:58,720
Speaker 1: Benjamin Franklin was asked what kind of a country America

240
00:14:58,800 --> 00:15:01,920
Speaker 1: was to become public. He answered, if you can keep it.

241
00:15:02,200 --> 00:15:05,800
Speaker 1: The fundamental issue raised by the impeachment in Korean too,

242
00:15:05,800 --> 00:15:12,760
Speaker 1: Donald J. Trump, is can we keep it without prejudice

243
00:15:13,840 --> 00:15:20,280
Speaker 1: and without partisanship? Yeah, two things that this country is

244
00:15:20,320 --> 00:15:26,320
Speaker 1: not really good at all. So here we go. We've

245
00:15:26,320 --> 00:15:31,600
Speaker 1: started the inquiry process for impeachment. The Republicans are gonna

246
00:15:31,640 --> 00:15:36,000
Speaker 1: sit over there and just go, he's done nothing impeachable. Uh,

247
00:15:36,160 --> 00:15:40,040
Speaker 1: you know, he's done apps. There was no prope whatever

248
00:15:40,080 --> 00:15:42,400
Speaker 1: they call it or whatever they want to call it.

249
00:15:43,200 --> 00:15:49,080
Speaker 1: That was none of that he's done nothing illegal. The

250
00:15:49,240 --> 00:15:54,680
Speaker 1: economy is booming. Uh, there's we've got enough people that

251
00:15:54,840 --> 00:15:58,720
Speaker 1: says that that's not what he was doing, and that's

252
00:15:58,760 --> 00:16:01,840
Speaker 1: where they're gonna sit. But also I got what they're

253
00:16:01,840 --> 00:16:05,720
Speaker 1: gonna sit. Are we being aggressive though? Are the Democrats

254
00:16:05,800 --> 00:16:08,280
Speaker 1: being a press? Well let me say this. I saw

255
00:16:08,320 --> 00:16:13,080
Speaker 1: the opening and Um, the Democrats laid out their case.

256
00:16:13,320 --> 00:16:19,080
Speaker 1: They definitely have a case. Uh. The Republicans tried to

257
00:16:19,080 --> 00:16:22,880
Speaker 1: stop Adam Shipp in his opening statement at every turn.

258
00:16:23,840 --> 00:16:25,840
Speaker 1: I think his name is Jim Jordan, the one they

259
00:16:25,840 --> 00:16:30,000
Speaker 1: called the bulldog. He was on Ready set go. Did

260
00:16:30,080 --> 00:16:34,000
Speaker 1: have a question though, yeah, wish Yeah, Adam Schiff handled

261
00:16:34,080 --> 00:16:37,720
Speaker 1: himself very well. It was dignified. Uh, they have they

262
00:16:37,760 --> 00:16:42,080
Speaker 1: do have a case. Uh. Bill Taylor, Ambassador Taylor and

263
00:16:43,000 --> 00:16:47,080
Speaker 1: Deputy Secretary of State George Kent. They both spoke very well.

264
00:16:47,120 --> 00:16:49,880
Speaker 1: They spoke their truth. So, um, that's all I got

265
00:16:49,920 --> 00:16:53,520
Speaker 1: a chance to see today. Yeah, I didn't see it.

266
00:16:53,600 --> 00:16:57,320
Speaker 1: I'm still out the country. But here's here's here's my problem.

267
00:16:58,160 --> 00:17:01,960
Speaker 1: The Democrats. I believe they do have a case. I

268
00:17:01,960 --> 00:17:07,280
Speaker 1: believe that in the House he will get voted to

269
00:17:07,320 --> 00:17:10,760
Speaker 1: take it to impeachment. But when it gets to the Senate,

270
00:17:10,760 --> 00:17:14,560
Speaker 1: whether Republicans have the majority. I don't see how it's

271
00:17:14,600 --> 00:17:16,679
Speaker 1: gonna get out of the Senate. And it has to

272
00:17:16,720 --> 00:17:20,000
Speaker 1: get out of the Senate to become an impeachable offense,

273
00:17:20,560 --> 00:17:23,560
Speaker 1: to my understanding, that's the way it works. Yes, so

274
00:17:23,840 --> 00:17:27,600
Speaker 1: I don't see they're gonna hold party, Lineman. This is

275
00:17:27,640 --> 00:17:34,680
Speaker 1: the most racially divided and bipartisanship I've ever seen. Ever.

276
00:17:34,880 --> 00:17:37,200
Speaker 1: They don't work across the out on a damn that

277
00:17:37,520 --> 00:17:42,040
Speaker 1: bipartisan whatever that bipartisan means, they work together, Democrats and

278
00:17:42,080 --> 00:17:46,320
Speaker 1: Republicans partison. If they don't, yeah, well they ain't dead.

279
00:17:46,640 --> 00:17:51,760
Speaker 1: But but to I mean abuse of power for sure,

280
00:17:51,960 --> 00:17:57,120
Speaker 1: abuse of power for sure. So we'll see how it goes. Uh.

281
00:17:57,160 --> 00:18:01,200
Speaker 1: It was just crazy, uh, David Nunez his opening statement,

282
00:18:02,359 --> 00:18:05,400
Speaker 1: I mean it read like, uh like he was doing

283
00:18:05,440 --> 00:18:09,000
Speaker 1: a TV show or or lines from a movie or something.

284
00:18:09,480 --> 00:18:13,280
Speaker 1: It was just um. Anyway, it's going to go on

285
00:18:13,560 --> 00:18:16,639
Speaker 1: this week and next week as the witnesses continue to

286
00:18:16,680 --> 00:18:18,800
Speaker 1: come in and tell their side of the story. So

287
00:18:18,840 --> 00:18:23,520
Speaker 1: we'll be watching, of course. Are they showing this on Fox? Yes,

288
00:18:24,080 --> 00:18:28,880
Speaker 1: I ever ChIL okay, Yeah, then that's gonna be interesting.

289
00:18:29,480 --> 00:18:32,760
Speaker 1: That's gonna be interesting because a lot of Fox viewers

290
00:18:33,359 --> 00:18:37,320
Speaker 1: have never seen the facts that CNN lays out because

291
00:18:37,359 --> 00:18:42,320
Speaker 1: Fox don't report that. Fox does not report everything that

292
00:18:42,400 --> 00:18:46,160
Speaker 1: the President has done, every lie he's told. They don't,

293
00:18:46,240 --> 00:18:49,119
Speaker 1: they don't, they don't show it that way. They just

294
00:18:49,280 --> 00:18:51,720
Speaker 1: flat out don't report a lot of what he does.

295
00:18:52,000 --> 00:18:55,600
Speaker 1: And that's what keeps his U base energized. It's gonna

296
00:18:55,640 --> 00:18:57,960
Speaker 1: be real interesting when all of them sitting now. He'll

297
00:18:58,000 --> 00:19:01,600
Speaker 1: lose some support, but his bay, those people are just

298
00:19:04,280 --> 00:19:08,080
Speaker 1: And the thing about it was that what I did

299
00:19:08,200 --> 00:19:12,320
Speaker 1: learn from it, Steve, the takeaway was that Rudy Giuliani

300
00:19:12,600 --> 00:19:16,359
Speaker 1: is our secretary of State. Hey, and I don't know.

301
00:19:16,520 --> 00:19:19,520
Speaker 1: Giuliani was hoping dim to shut up talking. Yea, so

302
00:19:19,800 --> 00:19:22,720
Speaker 1: he needed to be in now. Yeah, forget Mike Pompeo.

303
00:19:23,200 --> 00:19:26,280
Speaker 1: Rudy Giuliani is a Secretary of State. Okay, he was

304
00:19:26,320 --> 00:19:30,120

00:32:52,320 --> 00:32:56,600
Speaker 1: on s miss ed trill, Thank you very much. Okay,

507
00:32:56,640 --> 00:32:58,840
Speaker 1: this is answered with the news. The House Intelligence Committee

508
00:32:59,000 --> 00:33:01,280
Speaker 1: offen the public phase of it's impeachment and career yesterday.

509
00:33:01,280 --> 00:33:03,480
Speaker 1: If you didn't see. It started out with a testimony

510
00:33:03,520 --> 00:33:06,720
Speaker 1: by Deputy Assistant Secretary for European and Eurasian Affairs, George

511
00:33:06,800 --> 00:33:10,760
Speaker 1: Kent and the acting US Ambassador in Ukraine at William Taylor,

512
00:33:11,080 --> 00:33:12,920
Speaker 1: a tailor board witness to a scheme that he and

513
00:33:13,040 --> 00:33:16,160
Speaker 1: Kent described as being direct opposition to US interests, and

514
00:33:16,200 --> 00:33:19,360
Speaker 1: which he further described as wildly orthodox and way out

515
00:33:19,400 --> 00:33:23,320
Speaker 1: of biology. I think it's crazy to withhold security assistance

516
00:33:23,600 --> 00:33:26,840
Speaker 1: for help with a political campaign. What did you mean

517
00:33:26,920 --> 00:33:30,360
Speaker 1: when you said you thought it was crazy. I meant

518
00:33:31,200 --> 00:33:36,000
Speaker 1: that because of the importance of security assistance, because that

519
00:33:36,200 --> 00:33:39,320
Speaker 1: was so important, That security ass was so important for

520
00:33:40,320 --> 00:33:44,840
Speaker 1: Ukraine as well as our own national interest. To withhold

521
00:33:44,960 --> 00:33:49,640
Speaker 1: that assistance for no good reason other than help with

522
00:33:49,760 --> 00:33:54,960
Speaker 1: a political campaign made no sense. It was illogical, It

523
00:33:55,200 --> 00:33:58,760
Speaker 1: could not be explained. It was crazy falseman largely repeated

524
00:33:58,800 --> 00:34:01,480
Speaker 1: the testimony that they gave closed towards. Meanwhile, President Trump

525
00:34:01,680 --> 00:34:05,120
Speaker 1: received another legal slap yesterday. The US Appeals Court decided

526
00:34:05,200 --> 00:34:08,600
Speaker 1: not to revisit an October decision supporting a House subpoena

527
00:34:08,880 --> 00:34:11,680
Speaker 1: for his financial records. Trump's lawyers can still appeal to

528
00:34:11,760 --> 00:34:14,960
Speaker 1: the Supreme Court. Ohio Congressman Tim Ryan says he's endorsing

529
00:34:15,080 --> 00:34:18,520
Speaker 1: Joe Biden for president. Ryan, a former presidential candidate himself,

530
00:34:18,560 --> 00:34:21,880
Speaker 1: tells MSNBC that this election is more than just beating

531
00:34:21,960 --> 00:34:24,240
Speaker 1: Donald Trump. He says, it means more to the American

532
00:34:24,280 --> 00:34:26,600
Speaker 1: people than just beating the man. The best thing we

533
00:34:26,680 --> 00:34:29,200
Speaker 1: can do for the environment and climate change is to

534
00:34:29,320 --> 00:34:32,439
Speaker 1: beat Donald Trump or provide healthcare and prescription drugs. We've

535
00:34:32,440 --> 00:34:34,760
Speaker 1: got to beat Donald Trump. And to me, it's clear

536
00:34:35,480 --> 00:34:37,359
Speaker 1: as you go round and round and think about all

537
00:34:37,400 --> 00:34:40,960
Speaker 1: of these great candidates, that that's Joe Biden, and I'm

538
00:34:40,960 --> 00:34:42,640
Speaker 1: going to support him. I'm going to do everything I

539
00:34:42,760 --> 00:34:44,600
Speaker 1: can for him in the Early States and then the

540
00:34:44,680 --> 00:34:48,000
Speaker 1: Midwest to help him become the nominee and beat Donald Trump. Meanwhile,

541
00:34:48,000 --> 00:34:51,560
Speaker 1: there's another possible entry former Massachusetts Governor Duval Patrick, who,

542
00:34:51,640 --> 00:34:54,080
Speaker 1: as reportly, told some senior Democrats he's ready to enter

543
00:34:54,120 --> 00:34:56,880
Speaker 1: the primary race tomorrow. Cops and Philly say that an

544
00:34:56,920 --> 00:35:00,160
Speaker 1: eleven month old baby shot several times when his father

545
00:35:00,239 --> 00:35:02,239
Speaker 1: allegedly took him along on a drug deal as a

546
00:35:02,320 --> 00:35:05,560
Speaker 1: human shield, thinking nobody would shoot the child. The baby

547
00:35:05,640 --> 00:35:08,200
Speaker 1: shot in the head, torso, and if he survives, would

548
00:35:08,200 --> 00:35:10,560
Speaker 1: most likely be a quadriplegic. That father in the feast

549
00:35:10,680 --> 00:35:14,319
Speaker 1: Monroe is obviously under arrest, Yes he is. Yesterday, Colin

550
00:35:14,400 --> 00:35:17,640
Speaker 1: Kaepernick tweeted in response to the NFL hosting a private

551
00:35:17,640 --> 00:35:20,279
Speaker 1: workout for him in Atlanta over the weekend, and an

552
00:35:20,400 --> 00:35:23,239
Speaker 1: NFL analyst, Ian Rappaport says that Jay Z, who's been

553
00:35:23,280 --> 00:35:25,480
Speaker 1: working with the NFL and some social justice issues, was

554
00:35:25,560 --> 00:35:28,520
Speaker 1: involved in that and pushed the idea. Today's nationale Teddy

Speaker 1: Kaepernick's chances of returning to the NFL bell will get

606
00:39:00,560 --> 00:39:03,239
Speaker 1: a big boost this weekend, when he will get to

607
00:39:03,320 --> 00:39:07,600
Speaker 1: work out for representatives from all thirty two teams. Thirty

608
00:39:07,640 --> 00:39:11,080
Speaker 1: two year old Kaepernick hasn't played since twenty sixteen, which

609
00:39:11,160 --> 00:39:14,759
Speaker 1: is when he began protesting police brutality and racial injustice

610
00:39:14,880 --> 00:39:18,239
Speaker 1: by kneeling during the national anthem. The league invited him

611
00:39:18,280 --> 00:39:22,160
Speaker 1: yesterday to an open workout in Atlanta on Saturday that

612
00:39:22,400 --> 00:39:25,480
Speaker 1: all teams are welcome to attend. Kaepernick will get on

613
00:39:25,600 --> 00:39:27,719
Speaker 1: the field to show whether or not he's still in

614
00:39:27,840 --> 00:39:31,279
Speaker 1: game shape, and will also sit for interviews, but it

615
00:39:31,520 --> 00:39:34,959
Speaker 1: is unclear how many teams will actually attend, especially since

616
00:39:35,000 --> 00:39:38,800
Speaker 1: they've been given such short notice. Kaepernick's reps asked the

617
00:39:38,880 --> 00:39:41,840
Speaker 1: league to move the workout to Tuesday because half of

618
00:39:41,920 --> 00:39:44,880
Speaker 1: the teams will be busy traveling on Saturday, and therefore

619
00:39:44,960 --> 00:39:48,840
Speaker 1: some coaches in general managers may not be available to attend.

620
00:39:51,440 --> 00:39:56,320
Speaker 1: Yeah yeah, yeah, yeah, so today, move it to Tuesday. No,

621
00:39:56,680 --> 00:40:01,279
Speaker 1: it's gonna know, yeah, it's gonna be Saturday. Yeah. Well,

622
00:40:01,600 --> 00:40:03,200
Speaker 1: who you think he could play for it? Right now?

623
00:40:03,200 --> 00:40:06,879
Speaker 1: Who can use a quarterback right now? I don't know. Well,

624
00:40:07,080 --> 00:40:10,600
Speaker 1: you know, I don't know, man, let's I like calling,

625
00:40:10,719 --> 00:40:13,600
Speaker 1: I really really do. He hasn't played in a while,

626
00:40:14,800 --> 00:40:19,200
Speaker 1: and last time he did play it was an effective play.

627
00:40:20,120 --> 00:40:24,920
Speaker 1: Do I think he deserves a shot? Absolutely? Now, are

628
00:40:25,000 --> 00:40:28,640
Speaker 1: the teams who could use take a look at him? Yes,

629
00:40:29,080 --> 00:40:32,400
Speaker 1: I think Uh. I think that Chicago could take a

630
00:40:32,480 --> 00:40:35,920
Speaker 1: look at him because they have a struggling QB situation

631
00:40:36,080 --> 00:40:38,960
Speaker 1: up there. I think he would be good to look

632
00:40:39,040 --> 00:40:43,919
Speaker 1: at down in Tampa Bay because they're struggling a bit,

633
00:40:44,640 --> 00:40:47,960
Speaker 1: I think, And you know, I think it's a lot

634
00:40:48,040 --> 00:40:51,480
Speaker 1: of places, man, that could use some um the Jets

635
00:40:51,600 --> 00:40:54,720
Speaker 1: need to back up. Uh, it's a lot of teams

636
00:40:54,800 --> 00:40:58,080
Speaker 1: need to back up, you know. And so he's I

637
00:40:58,239 --> 00:41:00,480
Speaker 1: think he's worth a look. I don't. I don't know

638
00:41:00,560 --> 00:41:04,440
Speaker 1: that he could start for anybody right now, but he

639
00:41:04,600 --> 00:41:08,879
Speaker 1: could definitely yeah, I think I don't think he could

640
00:41:08,920 --> 00:41:11,600
Speaker 1: start for anybody right now, but I think he's definitely

641
00:41:11,680 --> 00:41:14,359
Speaker 1: cap buller playing backup and then getting a shot at

642
00:41:14,400 --> 00:41:18,319
Speaker 1: the starting job. You gotta remember he ain't been hit

643
00:41:18,480 --> 00:41:22,000
Speaker 1: in three fo you yeah at all? Yeah, he has

644
00:41:22,160 --> 00:41:30,080
Speaker 1: no contact though he doesn't every day, right, Yeah, with

645
00:41:30,200 --> 00:41:38,080
Speaker 1: getting hit, that shape can change. Yeah yeah, yeah, But

646
00:41:38,200 --> 00:41:40,000
Speaker 1: I'm glad of giving him some kind of shot. I

647
00:41:40,080 --> 00:41:42,160
Speaker 1: hope it's I hope it's a good shot. Yeah, me too,

648
00:41:43,320 --> 00:41:44,520
Speaker 1: you know what I mean. You know, it's kind of

649
00:41:44,560 --> 00:41:47,520
Speaker 1: little little funkingness to it. It's sad this short notice.

650
00:41:47,600 --> 00:41:50,480
Speaker 1: You know, they gave him sad a lot of teams traveling,

651
00:41:50,560 --> 00:41:53,120
Speaker 1: like they said, you know, so you know, it's kind

652
00:41:53,160 --> 00:41:55,320
Speaker 1: of got a little taken or leave it flavor to it,

653
00:41:55,440 --> 00:41:59,560
Speaker 1: but you know, you never know. I hope he lands somewhere.

654
00:41:59,680 --> 00:42:03,239
Speaker 1: I really really do, right, I really really do. Man.

655
00:42:05,200 --> 00:42:07,160
Speaker 1: I just like the fact that he's not giving up

656
00:42:07,160 --> 00:42:10,640
Speaker 1: on his dream. You know, that's his dream to play football, obviously,

657
00:42:10,960 --> 00:42:14,440
Speaker 1: and um he's staying in shape and he's staying ready

658
00:42:14,520 --> 00:42:16,600
Speaker 1: so he won't have to get ready. That part I

659
00:42:16,719 --> 00:42:19,440
Speaker 1: like it about. You know, it's saying about money he

Speaker 1: I like him a lot. I like him a lot.

663
00:42:30,000 --> 00:42:31,960
Speaker 1: I hate that they played him out so long in

00:42:41,760 --> 00:42:44,399

668
00:42:44,520 --> 00:42:48,680
Speaker 1: You know, quarterbacks up, you know, right, they stick around.

00:52:52,040 --> 00:52:54,720
Speaker 1: The subject her old man is taking care of my family.

845
00:52:55,280 --> 00:52:58,399
Speaker 1: I jumped ahead of myself, excited to get into this one.

846
00:52:58,719 --> 00:53:02,680
Speaker 1: Dear Stephen Shirley, I have two children with my high school. Sweetheart,

847
00:53:03,400 --> 00:53:06,960
Speaker 1: we both come from seriously dysfunctional families, and we were

848
00:53:07,080 --> 00:53:12,279
Speaker 1: all each other had. Shortly after we graduated, I got

849
00:53:12,360 --> 00:53:16,600
Speaker 1: incarcerated for eighteen months on a drug possession charge. During

850
00:53:16,640 --> 00:53:19,800
Speaker 1: this time, my kid's mother met an older guy, and

851
00:53:19,920 --> 00:53:22,320
Speaker 1: he began to take care of her and my kids.

852
00:53:22,640 --> 00:53:25,800
Speaker 1: He bought her a new car and moved her and

853
00:53:25,960 --> 00:53:29,440
Speaker 1: the kids into an upscale apartment. I'm not a fool,

854
00:53:29,840 --> 00:53:33,160
Speaker 1: so I know there was give and take in this situation,

855
00:53:33,280 --> 00:53:35,200
Speaker 1: but I was locked up, so what could I say.

856
00:53:35,719 --> 00:53:38,160
Speaker 1: I've been out of jail for about nine months, and

857
00:53:38,280 --> 00:53:41,560
Speaker 1: he has continued to cover all of my family's expenses.

858
00:53:41,960 --> 00:53:44,000
Speaker 1: I talked to my girl about the older guy, and

859
00:53:44,120 --> 00:53:46,200
Speaker 1: she says she has no problem with me staying with

860
00:53:46,360 --> 00:53:50,440
Speaker 1: her and getting my life back on track. But here's

861
00:53:50,440 --> 00:53:54,560
Speaker 1: a big problem. I can't take the disappearance of my

862
00:53:54,719 --> 00:53:58,000
Speaker 1: girl once or twice a week. I know where she's going,

863
00:53:59,800 --> 00:54:03,080
Speaker 1: but we never talk about it, and feel I feel

864
00:54:03,160 --> 00:54:07,239
Speaker 1: more and more emasculated each time she disappears. I have

865
00:54:07,320 --> 00:54:09,520
Speaker 1: a decent job, but it's not the type of job

866
00:54:09,640 --> 00:54:12,400
Speaker 1: that will keep her in the lifestyle she's accustomed to.

867
00:54:12,960 --> 00:54:15,279
Speaker 1: The only way I know how to do that would

868
00:54:15,280 --> 00:54:17,480
Speaker 1: be to go back to doing what got me sent

869
00:54:17,560 --> 00:54:20,320
Speaker 1: to jail years ago. My girl told me that she

870
00:54:20,480 --> 00:54:22,600
Speaker 1: hopes I can step up to the plate and take

871
00:54:22,680 --> 00:54:24,839
Speaker 1: care of my family so she can let the guy

872
00:54:24,960 --> 00:54:28,160
Speaker 1: go and we can be a family again. I appreciate

873
00:54:28,280 --> 00:54:30,520
Speaker 1: this guy for holding it down while I was gone,

874
00:54:30,800 --> 00:54:33,160
Speaker 1: but she needs to let him go now and adjust

875
00:54:33,239 --> 00:54:37,759
Speaker 1: her lifestyle a little bit, but a little bit. I

876
00:54:37,840 --> 00:54:40,600
Speaker 1: have thought about leaving while I still have some pride

877
00:54:40,640 --> 00:54:44,520
Speaker 1: and dignity, but I couldn't stand leaving my children again.

878
00:54:44,960 --> 00:54:46,759
Speaker 1: Is it too much to ask for her to move

879
00:54:46,840 --> 00:54:49,080
Speaker 1: to a less expensive apartment that we can build a

880
00:54:49,160 --> 00:54:52,160
Speaker 1: new life together. She says she loves me more than anything,

881
00:54:52,280 --> 00:54:56,080
Speaker 1: but I'm not so sure. What should I do? Please advise, Well,

882
00:54:56,600 --> 00:55:00,040
Speaker 1: if she loves you more than anything, seems like you

883
00:55:00,080 --> 00:55:02,440
Speaker 1: would be with you and she would have already left

884
00:55:02,520 --> 00:55:05,960
Speaker 1: this older guy. And if you love her like you

885
00:55:06,080 --> 00:55:08,120
Speaker 1: say you do, you have to take that chance. You

886
00:55:08,200 --> 00:55:11,920
Speaker 1: got to take that risk and ask her, you know,

887
00:55:12,160 --> 00:55:13,839
Speaker 1: what does she want to do or will she come

888
00:55:14,200 --> 00:55:17,920
Speaker 1: back to you and move to a lesser lifestyle. You know,

889
00:55:18,080 --> 00:55:21,840
Speaker 1: sometimes when you get introduced to two different things and

890
00:55:21,960 --> 00:55:24,719
Speaker 1: newer things, you get accustomed to it, and you don't

891
00:55:24,800 --> 00:55:27,600
Speaker 1: want to leave that situation, but you know you can

892
00:55:27,640 --> 00:55:30,640
Speaker 1: take the risk and ask her, please don't go back

893
00:55:30,719 --> 00:55:32,800
Speaker 1: to doing what you used to do to make money.

894
00:55:33,120 --> 00:55:36,200
Speaker 1: You already know the end of that movie. Okay, you

895
00:55:36,320 --> 00:55:38,800
Speaker 1: know that drugs is not the way to go. I

896
00:55:39,000 --> 00:55:41,800
Speaker 1: do hope you get yourself together. I really do. You

897
00:55:41,880 --> 00:55:46,120
Speaker 1: sound like a decent guy, you know. However, you're moving

898
00:55:46,239 --> 00:55:50,640
Speaker 1: in with her knowing the circumstances. You know, is there

899
00:55:50,680 --> 00:55:54,000
Speaker 1: a time limit? Are you have you made a plan?

900
00:55:54,200 --> 00:55:55,560
Speaker 1: You know, I'm going to stay with you for a

901
00:55:55,640 --> 00:55:57,759
Speaker 1: couple of months until I get myself together. Then I'm

902
00:55:57,760 --> 00:55:59,400
Speaker 1: gonna get my own and I want you and the

903
00:55:59,480 --> 00:56:01,840
Speaker 1: kids to come back to me. That seems how it

904
00:56:02,000 --> 00:56:04,400
Speaker 1: should work out, you know, And then you won't have

905
00:56:04,520 --> 00:56:06,439
Speaker 1: to sit there and watch her go back and forth

906
00:56:06,760 --> 00:56:10,279
Speaker 1: to this man and all of that. So that's my

907
00:56:10,400 --> 00:56:13,480
Speaker 1: advice to you. Save your money, get yourself together, get

908
00:56:13,600 --> 00:56:16,400
Speaker 1: out of there with her where you can see what's

909
00:56:16,440 --> 00:56:18,879
Speaker 1: going on, and ask her if she wants to come back.

910
00:56:18,920 --> 00:56:21,040
Speaker 1: Do you really still want her back? If you love her,

911
00:56:21,280 --> 00:56:23,439
Speaker 1: then that's what you're gonna have to do. I don't

912
00:56:23,480 --> 00:56:26,080
Speaker 1: think you should uh, you know, leave your kids and

913
00:56:26,160 --> 00:56:28,759
Speaker 1: all of that, but get your own stuff, your own

914
00:56:29,360 --> 00:56:33,239
Speaker 1: self stuff, and you know, get your own house so

915
00:56:33,360 --> 00:56:35,160
Speaker 1: you can be with her and be with your family

916
00:56:35,239 --> 00:56:37,160
Speaker 1: if that's still what she wants to do. But even

917
00:56:37,200 --> 00:56:39,359
Speaker 1: if she doesn't come with you, you'll have your own

918
00:56:39,440 --> 00:56:42,480
Speaker 1: place where your kids can come. Steve, this is a

919
00:56:42,560 --> 00:56:45,080
Speaker 1: pretty sad letter because this is a young brother had

920
00:56:45,120 --> 00:56:48,120
Speaker 1: wrote this letter. And you know, I could have a

921
00:56:48,239 --> 00:56:51,239
Speaker 1: ton of jokes for this, but let me try to

922
00:56:51,320 --> 00:56:53,759
Speaker 1: help you a little soldier. Let me let me try

923
00:56:53,840 --> 00:56:58,600
Speaker 1: to just give you what I think. You got two kids,

924
00:56:58,840 --> 00:57:04,799
Speaker 1: which is your ultimate responsibility. With your high school sweetheart.

925
00:57:05,880 --> 00:57:11,040
Speaker 1: You both came from seriously dysfunctional families, you say, And

926
00:57:11,360 --> 00:57:15,480
Speaker 1: so that's pretty much explains what we're gonna hear in

927
00:57:15,560 --> 00:57:19,960
Speaker 1: this letter. You say, shortly after y'all graduated, you got

928
00:57:20,040 --> 00:57:24,760
Speaker 1: incarcerated for eighteen months for drug possession. Then while you

929
00:57:24,880 --> 00:57:30,600
Speaker 1: await your baby, mama met an older man and he

930
00:57:30,760 --> 00:57:35,520
Speaker 1: began taking care of her and my kids, well the kids,

931
00:57:36,360 --> 00:57:39,520
Speaker 1: hern the kids that put y'all in the upscale apartment,

932
00:57:40,360 --> 00:57:42,240
Speaker 1: you know. Then you say, I ain't no food, so

933
00:57:42,440 --> 00:57:45,480
Speaker 1: I know there was some give and taking. This situation,

934
00:57:46,320 --> 00:57:49,600
Speaker 1: but I was locked up, so what could I say. Now,

935
00:57:49,680 --> 00:57:51,880
Speaker 1: you've been out of jail now for nine months, and

936
00:57:52,040 --> 00:57:56,120
Speaker 1: he has continued to cover all of my family's expenses.

937
00:57:56,600 --> 00:57:59,080
Speaker 1: You just said a little bit earlier. You know that

938
00:57:59,360 --> 00:58:03,560
Speaker 1: some give and taking this relationship. He's continuing to take

939
00:58:03,640 --> 00:58:06,400
Speaker 1: care of all your family's expenses. I talked to him

940
00:58:06,400 --> 00:58:09,919
Speaker 1: a girl about the older guy. She says, she ain't

941
00:58:09,960 --> 00:58:12,400
Speaker 1: got no problem with me staying with her getting my

942
00:58:12,520 --> 00:58:15,320
Speaker 1: life back on track, which is exactly what she didn't

943
00:58:15,360 --> 00:58:18,520
Speaker 1: had to tell this man that my baby's father got

944
00:58:18,600 --> 00:58:20,400
Speaker 1: out of jail and I need to help him so

945
00:58:20,520 --> 00:58:23,560
Speaker 1: he can get his life on track. Not an older guy.

946
00:58:24,240 --> 00:58:28,360
Speaker 1: Young man then went along with this because she got

947
00:58:28,440 --> 00:58:30,320
Speaker 1: to come over there a couple of times a week,

948
00:58:32,160 --> 00:58:34,200
Speaker 1: and that's all it was. And so they had a

949
00:58:34,200 --> 00:58:37,880
Speaker 1: little arrangement going. So as long as she's keep coming

950
00:58:37,960 --> 00:58:40,360
Speaker 1: over two times a week, this ain't gonna be no

951
00:58:40,520 --> 00:58:43,680
Speaker 1: problem for her, I mean for him. So you talk

952
00:58:43,760 --> 00:58:45,520
Speaker 1: to my girl, she said, she ain't got no problem

953
00:58:45,520 --> 00:58:48,840
Speaker 1: with you staying with her. But here's the big problem.

954
00:58:49,080 --> 00:58:51,680
Speaker 1: I can't take the disappearance of my girl once or

955
00:58:51,720 --> 00:58:55,040
Speaker 1: twice a week. I know where she's going, but we

956
00:58:55,200 --> 00:58:57,280
Speaker 1: never talk about it, and I feel more and more

957
00:58:57,320 --> 00:59:01,840
Speaker 1: emasculated each time she disappeared. Is yes you do, and

958
00:59:02,000 --> 00:59:04,000
Speaker 1: yes you should, and we come back. I'm tell you

959
00:59:04,080 --> 00:59:06,120
Speaker 1: what I think. All right, we're gonna have heard two

960
00:59:06,280 --> 00:59:09,880
Speaker 1: of Steve's response coming up at twenty three after the hour.

961
00:59:10,120 --> 00:59:13,600
Speaker 1: Subject of today's Strawberry Letter, her old man is taking

962
00:59:13,680 --> 00:59:16,560
Speaker 1: care of my family. We'll be back right after this.

963
00:59:17,400 --> 00:59:22,640
Speaker 1: You're listening, all right, Steve, Come on, let's recap today's

964
00:59:22,640 --> 00:59:26,320
Speaker 1: Strawberry letter. This subject her old man is taking care

965
00:59:26,480 --> 00:59:30,360
Speaker 1: of my family. Here's a deal without the jokes. Here's

966
00:59:30,400 --> 00:59:33,280
Speaker 1: a young man that was high school sweetheart to had

967
00:59:33,320 --> 00:59:36,560
Speaker 1: two kids. Soortly after they graduated, he got arrested on

968
00:59:36,720 --> 00:59:40,600
Speaker 1: drug possession. He served eighteen months. While he was away,

969
00:59:40,680 --> 00:59:43,880
Speaker 1: his girl started dating this older man. He'd moved her

970
00:59:44,000 --> 00:59:47,840
Speaker 1: and the two kids into an upscale apartment, and when

971
00:59:47,920 --> 00:59:50,840
Speaker 1: he got out, he wanted to get his life back together.

972
00:59:50,960 --> 00:59:53,480
Speaker 1: So he's thinking he had something. She said, I don't

973
00:59:53,520 --> 00:59:55,920
Speaker 1: mind you stand here while you get your life together,

974
00:59:56,480 --> 01:00:00,400
Speaker 1: sounding me like, you know, get yourself together and then

975
01:00:00,520 --> 01:00:03,200
Speaker 1: get your stuff and get out. I don't know, I'm

976
01:00:03,240 --> 01:00:05,880
Speaker 1: just saying she don't mind you coming over that you

977
01:00:06,000 --> 01:00:09,080
Speaker 1: get your life together. But you know there's a give

978
01:00:09,160 --> 01:00:12,040
Speaker 1: and take. This man paying all these bills, taking care

979
01:00:12,040 --> 01:00:16,280
Speaker 1: of these kids. She disappears twice a week. Now when

980
01:00:16,320 --> 01:00:19,840
Speaker 1: she disappears, young man just throws you into something and

981
01:00:20,000 --> 01:00:24,040
Speaker 1: you say, you feel more and more emasculated. Now that's

982
01:00:24,080 --> 01:00:26,400
Speaker 1: a pretty good word for somebody that's being locked up

983
01:00:26,440 --> 01:00:29,680
Speaker 1: for eighteen months. So you've obviously taken some time and

984
01:00:29,800 --> 01:00:33,320
Speaker 1: you're pretty articulate. God, where you even put this letter together?

985
01:00:34,280 --> 01:00:36,920
Speaker 1: So I got a decent job, but it's not the

986
01:00:37,000 --> 01:00:39,840
Speaker 1: type that will keep her in the lifestyle she's accustomed to.

987
01:00:40,680 --> 01:00:42,360
Speaker 1: Not The only way that you know how to do that,

988
01:00:42,520 --> 01:00:44,080
Speaker 1: you say, is go back to the thing that got

989
01:00:44,160 --> 01:00:47,040
Speaker 1: you locked up. Okay, now let's be for real now,

990
01:00:47,200 --> 01:00:50,160
Speaker 1: partner being locked up, there's nothing in your house worth

991
01:00:50,240 --> 01:00:52,160
Speaker 1: getting locked up for or less. Somebody try to do

992
01:00:52,320 --> 01:00:55,640
Speaker 1: bodily harm to your wife and kids. This ain't your

993
01:00:55,680 --> 01:00:59,120
Speaker 1: wife and these are your kids. Now, if you protect

994
01:00:59,160 --> 01:01:01,680
Speaker 1: your kids life, that's one thing. But you want to

995
01:01:01,760 --> 01:01:04,680
Speaker 1: buy some stuff, So you're gonna go back in prison

996
01:01:04,920 --> 01:01:08,440
Speaker 1: cause of that? Oh no, sun oh no, sun oh no,

997
01:01:09,040 --> 01:01:11,400
Speaker 1: oh no, We're not gonna do that no more. You know,

998
01:01:11,520 --> 01:01:13,960
Speaker 1: sometimes when you get when you get locked up, sometimes

999
01:01:14,040 --> 01:01:17,360
Speaker 1: when you lose stuff like your freedom or everything you own.

1000
01:01:17,760 --> 01:01:20,560
Speaker 1: Sometimes God trying to get our attention to let us

1001
01:01:20,600 --> 01:01:23,280
Speaker 1: see something, and you might be getting the attention of

1002
01:01:23,400 --> 01:01:28,680
Speaker 1: what you see. Maybe your girl is a little bit tricky. Now, Look,

1003
01:01:29,640 --> 01:01:33,040
Speaker 1: she disn't appeared twice a week. But then you know

1004
01:01:33,240 --> 01:01:35,840
Speaker 1: she told you that she hoped you could step up

1005
01:01:35,960 --> 01:01:38,480
Speaker 1: to the plate and take care of my family, so

1006
01:01:38,680 --> 01:01:42,320
Speaker 1: she can let the guy go. What so, in other words,

1007
01:01:42,440 --> 01:01:45,160
Speaker 1: until you can prove to be more, she ain't letting

1008
01:01:45,160 --> 01:01:47,800
Speaker 1: this other guy go. Hold up, man, what kind of

1009
01:01:47,920 --> 01:01:50,600
Speaker 1: chick is this? Now? And we can be a family again.

1010
01:01:50,920 --> 01:01:54,760
Speaker 1: Whoa wait a minute. But until then, I'm gonna keep

1011
01:01:54,800 --> 01:01:57,200
Speaker 1: sleeping with this dude over here. You don't need to

1012
01:01:57,280 --> 01:01:59,920
Speaker 1: say nothing, because he taking care of business that you couldn't.

1013
01:02:00,200 --> 01:02:02,640
Speaker 1: Now you said, I appreciated this guy for holding it

1014
01:02:02,760 --> 01:02:05,440
Speaker 1: down while I was gone. Now you didn't stop saying

1015
01:02:05,520 --> 01:02:08,280
Speaker 1: that you didn't. That's a nice manly thing to say,

1016
01:02:08,600 --> 01:02:10,600
Speaker 1: But you didn't appreciate that because you wish you was

1017
01:02:10,640 --> 01:02:12,920
Speaker 1: here doing it yourself. Now he got a little bit

1018
01:02:13,000 --> 01:02:16,520
Speaker 1: more money than you. Now, your family over there, and

1019
01:02:16,680 --> 01:02:20,080
Speaker 1: now you say you appreciate him holding it down, But

1020
01:02:20,200 --> 01:02:22,520
Speaker 1: she needs to let him go now and adjust her

1021
01:02:22,600 --> 01:02:26,200
Speaker 1: lifestyle a little bit. I have thought about leaving, you know,

1022
01:02:26,400 --> 01:02:28,720
Speaker 1: while I still have some pride and dignity, but I

1023
01:02:28,800 --> 01:02:31,280
Speaker 1: couldn't stand leaving my children again. It's too much to

1024
01:02:31,320 --> 01:02:33,280
Speaker 1: ask of her to move? Is it too much to

1025
01:02:33,280 --> 01:02:36,720
Speaker 1: answer to lose a specif apartment so we could build

1026
01:02:36,760 --> 01:02:39,200
Speaker 1: a new life together. She said she loves me more

1027
01:02:39,240 --> 01:02:43,040
Speaker 1: than anything. Well you can find that out. All you

1028
01:02:43,120 --> 01:02:45,400
Speaker 1: got to do is say, baby, I got the money

1029
01:02:45,480 --> 01:02:49,040
Speaker 1: for a lesser apartment. I want my family together. I

1030
01:02:49,080 --> 01:02:51,080
Speaker 1: don't want you to have to try to service this

1031
01:02:51,400 --> 01:02:54,040
Speaker 1: debt with this older guy. I don't want you to

1032
01:02:54,160 --> 01:02:56,440
Speaker 1: have to pay for your rent with your body. So

1033
01:02:56,720 --> 01:02:58,760
Speaker 1: I think we all adjust. I got us a place

1034
01:02:58,840 --> 01:03:00,800
Speaker 1: we can all be in his school a little bit tight.

1035
01:03:01,080 --> 01:03:03,000
Speaker 1: And you find out right away if she loves you

1036
01:03:03,520 --> 01:03:06,160
Speaker 1: or she loved the arrangement she got. Does she love

1037
01:03:06,280 --> 01:03:09,160
Speaker 1: you or she loved lifestyle she got? And I ain't

1038
01:03:09,200 --> 01:03:11,440
Speaker 1: really saying nothing bad against this little girl. She got

1039
01:03:11,520 --> 01:03:13,919
Speaker 1: put in a tough position when you got sent away

1040
01:03:14,000 --> 01:03:17,040
Speaker 1: for eighteen months. But now you're back, and you want

1041
01:03:17,120 --> 01:03:19,000
Speaker 1: some things to go back to where they were, but

1042
01:03:19,160 --> 01:03:21,720
Speaker 1: sometimes they're not meant to go back to where they were,

1043
01:03:22,080 --> 01:03:25,320
Speaker 1: young man, and that's oftentimes where we have to learn

1044
01:03:25,400 --> 01:03:27,760
Speaker 1: in life. The things we want may not be what's

1045
01:03:27,840 --> 01:03:30,600
Speaker 1: in the plan and the master plan. So you gotta

1046
01:03:30,680 --> 01:03:32,920
Speaker 1: kind of be open to that because maybe you're finding

1047
01:03:32,960 --> 01:03:36,120
Speaker 1: out some things. If it ain't this dude right here, partner,

1048
01:03:36,560 --> 01:03:39,400
Speaker 1: it could be somebody else. Now, I'm not gonna do

1049
01:03:39,480 --> 01:03:41,760
Speaker 1: what women do is say that wants a cheat, always

1050
01:03:41,800 --> 01:03:43,920
Speaker 1: a cheat. I'm not gonna say that. I'm saying, but

1051
01:03:44,040 --> 01:03:46,720
Speaker 1: you got to at least find out if she's willing

1052
01:03:46,760 --> 01:03:48,640
Speaker 1: to cut some of this goal, if she loves you

1053
01:03:48,760 --> 01:03:51,440
Speaker 1: more than anything and want y'all to work together as

1054
01:03:51,480 --> 01:03:54,240
Speaker 1: a family, or she gonna keep service in this debt

1055
01:03:54,440 --> 01:03:57,080
Speaker 1: because that's what she's doing, and that puts you the

1056
01:03:57,160 --> 01:03:59,640
Speaker 1: bad position. You're dog gonna write it to masculate you.

1057
01:04:00,120 --> 01:04:01,840
Speaker 1: Every time you look out the door, you know your

1058
01:04:01,880 --> 01:04:04,800
Speaker 1: girl going somewhere twice a week, staying out all times

1059
01:04:04,840 --> 01:04:06,480
Speaker 1: a night. You're at the house, these kids. You know

1060
01:04:06,560 --> 01:04:09,280
Speaker 1: where she at, but y'all don't say nothing about it.

1061
01:04:11,120 --> 01:04:14,360
Speaker 1: So I don't want you to get frustrated and then

1062
01:04:14,480 --> 01:04:17,240
Speaker 1: wind up doing something stupid. So before you do that,

1063
01:04:17,880 --> 01:04:20,439
Speaker 1: I know you think if you walk away that it's

1064
01:04:20,480 --> 01:04:24,040
Speaker 1: just gonna push your into his arms. But she's already

1065
01:04:24,200 --> 01:04:27,960
Speaker 1: in his arms, so you're really not pushing her nowhere.

1066
01:04:28,640 --> 01:04:31,160
Speaker 1: You're just moving out so you can get yourself together,

1067
01:04:32,200 --> 01:04:34,040
Speaker 1: and I think you need to focus on that. Keep

1068
01:04:34,120 --> 01:04:36,400
Speaker 1: taking care of your kids. Don't never stop taking care

1069
01:04:36,440 --> 01:04:40,320
Speaker 1: of your children. That's our responsibility as men. Whether we're

1070
01:04:40,360 --> 01:04:42,520
Speaker 1: in love with the girl or not anymore, has nothing

1071
01:04:42,560 --> 01:04:45,560
Speaker 1: to do without responsibility as men and fathers. You have

1072
01:04:45,640 --> 01:04:47,800
Speaker 1: a main obligation to take care of your children. If

1073
01:04:47,840 --> 01:04:50,960
Speaker 1: you do that, then you're being a man. There's nothing

1074
01:04:51,000 --> 01:04:53,440
Speaker 1: that says you have to stay with her, try to

1075
01:04:53,520 --> 01:04:55,320
Speaker 1: work through it or work it out. If you don't

1076
01:04:55,360 --> 01:04:57,840
Speaker 1: want to, you don't have to, but you do have

1077
01:04:58,000 --> 01:05:01,600
Speaker 1: to take care of them kids. That's not an option

1078
01:05:01,720 --> 01:05:05,480
Speaker 1: on excuse. So take care of kids and then ask

1079
01:05:05,560 --> 01:05:08,440
Speaker 1: her if she ready to make this thing a family.

1080
01:05:09,160 --> 01:05:11,200
Speaker 1: You know, everybody make mistakes, and give her a chance

1081
01:05:11,240 --> 01:05:13,360
Speaker 1: to let you know where she stands on it. That's

1082
01:05:13,440 --> 01:05:17,080
Speaker 1: my suggestion, Steve, that's right. You can post your comments

Speaker 1: Ain't that? And I'm telling you, man, there is a

1116
01:07:37,640 --> 01:07:42,760
Speaker 1: deep admiration for a lot of people who ain't got

1117
01:07:42,920 --> 01:07:45,800
Speaker 1: no problem with their lifestyle because that's what they do

1118
01:07:45,880 --> 01:07:49,000
Speaker 1: if they had that money. I really believe that he

1119
01:07:49,160 --> 01:07:52,440
Speaker 1: believed he is the dictator. He is al half his king.

1120
01:07:54,840 --> 01:07:58,480
Speaker 1: He believed he is everything and everything he does. He

1121
01:07:58,640 --> 01:08:01,320
Speaker 1: cooled with doing it because about around him is either

1122
01:08:01,400 --> 01:08:04,320
Speaker 1: suckers are scared and they won't walk up and boss

1123
01:08:04,400 --> 01:08:07,320
Speaker 1: up on this dude. But I think the hearings is

1124
01:08:07,400 --> 01:08:09,720
Speaker 1: off the chain. They dropping so many dimes and man,

1125

Speaker 1: people get oh toad on Junior Jill. They need to

1126
01:08:14,080 --> 01:08:16,320
Speaker 1: stop them too from talking. That's what they need to do.

1127
01:08:16,560 --> 01:08:18,040
Speaker 1: If Trump need to get out of that White House,

1128
01:08:18,080 --> 01:08:20,439
Speaker 1: get down into their Capitol hill and stop them too.

1129
01:08:22,800 --> 01:08:27,680
Speaker 1: Mad they go testify, they define subpoenis and everything. They say,

1130
01:08:27,760 --> 01:08:30,720
Speaker 1: you can't tell me who I'm a talk, but they

1131
01:08:30,760 --> 01:08:33,880
Speaker 1: get indignant. They just show up stop telling stuff. You'd

1132
01:08:33,920 --> 01:08:40,200
Speaker 1: be like, damn all that, Cheryl, thank you so much. Carl.

01:09:11,000 --> 01:09:14,599
Speaker 1: to shine bright like a diamond, she might be taking

1142
01:09:14,640 --> 01:09:17,320
Speaker 1: a break. She's thirty one years old. She's an entrepreneur.

1143
01:09:17,479 --> 01:09:21,839
Speaker 1: We all know that. Well. Yesterday, Rihanna took to Instagram

1144
01:09:21,960 --> 01:09:25,720
Speaker 1: to share a pouty selfie while wearing an oversized black hat,

1145
01:09:25,920 --> 01:09:29,680
Speaker 1: gold chains, and a T shirt that read art school dropout.

1146
01:09:30,360 --> 01:09:34,839
Speaker 1: Okay now. In the caption, she wrote to all my friends, family,

1147
01:09:34,960 --> 01:09:37,560
Speaker 1: co workers who I have yet to get back to

1148
01:09:37,760 --> 01:09:41,080
Speaker 1: in the past month, Please forgive me. This year has

1149
01:09:41,120 --> 01:09:44,400
Speaker 1: been quite an overwhelming one and I'm working on that

1150
01:09:44,720 --> 01:09:48,680
Speaker 1: ish called balance BRB. All right, we all know that

1151
01:09:48,800 --> 01:09:54,160
Speaker 1: BRB means be right back right. That was the final

1152
01:09:54,240 --> 01:09:57,320
Speaker 1: message to her fans. So the question is, is Rihanna

1153
01:09:57,400 --> 01:10:00,800
Speaker 1: gonna be right back? Is she taking a break? Uh? Well,

1154
01:10:00,840 --> 01:10:03,400
Speaker 1: she'd be a big round booty. I thought that would

1155
01:10:03,439 --> 01:10:10,479
Speaker 1: be our big for us. Huh, It's be right back

1156
01:10:11,040 --> 01:10:16,240
Speaker 1: okay all day? All right? Oh yeah, bunty. I mean,

1157
01:10:16,320 --> 01:10:18,120
Speaker 1: but we all need to take a break every now

1158
01:10:18,160 --> 01:10:21,400
Speaker 1: and then. I mean, don't you guys agree, I mean

1159
01:10:21,479 --> 01:10:27,200
Speaker 1: absolutely everybody got to take a break. I'm sucking your teeth.

1160
01:10:28,760 --> 01:10:35,280
Speaker 1: I just took a break just now right there. That

1161
01:10:35,400 --> 01:10:39,040

1164
01:10:47,000 --> 01:10:48,960

1165
01:10:49,240 --> 01:10:52,599

1171
01:11:14,040 --> 01:11:16,439
Speaker 1: mean she's made a lot of money, man, she can

1271
01:18:48,960 --> 01:18:52,240
Speaker 1: and some closing inspirational remarks from the one and only

1272
01:18:52,400 --> 01:18:55,240
Speaker 1: Steve Harvey coming up at forty nine minutes after the hour.

1273
01:18:55,640 --> 01:18:59,679
Speaker 1: Right after this, you're listening to Steve Harvey Morning Show.

1274
01:19:00,680 --> 01:19:02,680
Speaker 1: Here we are last break of the day. Guys. It's

1275
01:19:02,720 --> 01:19:06,800
Speaker 1: been a pretty fun, crazy, crazy ignorant day on this

1276
01:19:07,000 --> 01:19:11,320
Speaker 1: crazy ignorant show. A lot of fun today. But Steve,

1277
01:19:11,400 --> 01:19:15,760
Speaker 1: now it's time to get a little serious and I

1278
01:19:15,880 --> 01:19:18,240
Speaker 1: just want to encourage people to do something really, really

1279
01:19:18,360 --> 01:19:21,800
Speaker 1: simple today. And I think this is something that most

1280
01:19:21,880 --> 01:19:29,760
Speaker 1: people would agree to want. It's really this simple. Everybody

1281
01:19:30,160 --> 01:19:34,360
Speaker 1: should want more for your life. I'm talking about your

1282
01:19:34,439 --> 01:19:37,479
Speaker 1: life right there, the one that you have, You should

1283
01:19:37,560 --> 01:19:41,720
Speaker 1: want more for your life. You should never allow yourself

1284
01:19:42,080 --> 01:19:46,200
Speaker 1: to become complacent. Now I want you to understand something.

1285
01:19:46,400 --> 01:19:51,960
Speaker 1: Some people get complacency confuse with they don't want to

1286
01:19:52,040 --> 01:20:00,120
Speaker 1: seem ungrateful. Once again, some people get complacency confused with

1287
01:20:00,360 --> 01:20:03,880
Speaker 1: not wanting to appear ungrateful. Well, I don't want to

1288
01:20:03,960 --> 01:20:06,120
Speaker 1: keep asking God for nothing because I don't want him

1289
01:20:06,160 --> 01:20:09,000
Speaker 1: to think I ain't grateful for what I have. Well,

1290
01:20:09,160 --> 01:20:13,080
Speaker 1: thank you for it. Then that's really simple. Simply thank

1291
01:20:13,200 --> 01:20:17,880
Speaker 1: God for what you have. That's the gratitude. But then

1292
01:20:18,680 --> 01:20:23,639
Speaker 1: it's still okay to want more for your life. Here's

1293
01:20:23,680 --> 01:20:28,080
Speaker 1: the good news. God actually wants you to have more

1294
01:20:28,360 --> 01:20:31,680
Speaker 1: for your life. God is really looking for people to

1295
01:20:31,760 --> 01:20:35,840
Speaker 1: show off. He really is. I happen to raise my

1296
01:20:35,960 --> 01:20:40,040
Speaker 1: hand all the time in volunteer I do. I just

1297
01:20:40,120 --> 01:20:45,519
Speaker 1: say God, pick me, come on, do me, use me,

1298
01:20:45,840 --> 01:20:49,760
Speaker 1: show me. Now that doesn't mean I'm perfect, I'm far

1299
01:20:49,960 --> 01:20:54,200
Speaker 1: from it. But I do want God's blessings to be

1300
01:20:54,280 --> 01:20:57,559
Speaker 1: able to flow through me, So I keep an open

1301
01:20:57,720 --> 01:21:00,679
Speaker 1: channel in my life for that stuff to float. First

1302
01:21:00,720 --> 01:21:05,160
Speaker 1: of all, I want more, that's the beginning of getting it.

1303
01:21:05,680 --> 01:21:09,040
Speaker 1: Then I have the good sense to ask him for more.

1304
01:21:09,479 --> 01:21:13,920
Speaker 1: You have not because you ask not. Well, I happen

1305
01:21:14,040 --> 01:21:21,519
Speaker 1: to be a big asker of stuff, So now I

1306
01:21:21,680 --> 01:21:25,400
Speaker 1: want more. I ask for more. Now here's the trick

1307
01:21:25,880 --> 01:21:29,639
Speaker 1: to asking for more and wanting more. You have got

1308
01:21:29,760 --> 01:21:36,200
Speaker 1: to be willing to do more. Oh, now you gotta

1309
01:21:36,280 --> 01:21:43,160
Speaker 1: do more. Now. That's the one thing that stops so

1310
01:21:43,400 --> 01:21:49,160
Speaker 1: many people from having and wanting more for their life.

1311
01:21:51,400 --> 01:21:55,640
Speaker 1: If God will give you blessings and God will increase

1312
01:21:56,439 --> 01:21:59,840
Speaker 1: your measure in life, if God comes to give you

1313
01:22:00,120 --> 01:22:04,320
Speaker 1: life and give you life more abundantly, if He's promised

1314
01:22:04,360 --> 01:22:07,720
Speaker 1: to do that for you, And what you have to

1315
01:22:07,800 --> 01:22:09,800
Speaker 1: do in return is you have to be willing to

1316
01:22:10,000 --> 01:22:15,200
Speaker 1: do more. See you, you can't get more without doing more.

1317
01:22:16,120 --> 01:22:20,200
Speaker 1: Convenience is built through inconvenience, you can stop wanting what

1318
01:22:20,400 --> 01:22:23,040
Speaker 1: you see everybody else with and you ain't willing to

1319
01:22:23,160 --> 01:22:26,720
Speaker 1: do what everybody else did to get it. Quick look

1320
01:22:26,760 --> 01:22:28,840
Speaker 1: at it, Oprah's pile over there. If you ain't willing

1321
01:22:28,880 --> 01:22:31,519
Speaker 1: to do what Oprah did, which Tom an average person

1322
01:22:31,680 --> 01:22:35,160
Speaker 1: is not because the average person wants to be comfortable,

1323
01:22:36,479 --> 01:22:40,880
Speaker 1: and you can't be successful and stay comfortable. I was

1324
01:22:40,920 --> 01:22:44,000
Speaker 1: interviewing the wrestler on my show yesterday day. But teach

1325
01:22:44,080 --> 01:22:46,320
Speaker 1: a great story. Man. This camp was really out of it,

1326
01:22:47,240 --> 01:22:52,519
Speaker 1: really really fascinating story he had. And we were talking

1327
01:22:53,880 --> 01:22:56,639
Speaker 1: and he was talking about living outside your comfort zone.

1328
01:22:57,400 --> 01:22:59,280
Speaker 1: And I told him one of the things that I've

1329
01:22:59,320 --> 01:23:01,200
Speaker 1: had to learn how to do in order to become

1330
01:23:01,280 --> 01:23:07,600
Speaker 1: successful is I've had to become comfortable with being uncomfortable.

1331
01:23:08,400 --> 01:23:12,479
Speaker 1: He said, wow, Wow, that's a great way to put it, Steep.

1332
01:23:14,040 --> 01:23:19,960
Speaker 1: I have learned how to be comfortable while I'm uncomfortable.

1333
01:23:21,520 --> 01:23:25,080
Speaker 1: Because in order to get successful, you have to be uncomfortable.

1334
01:23:27,000 --> 01:23:29,760
Speaker 1: You have to do things that you don't feel like

1335
01:23:29,920 --> 01:23:33,000
Speaker 1: doing all the time. You have to show up when

1336
01:23:33,000 --> 01:23:35,120
Speaker 1: you don't want to show up. You have to be

1337
01:23:35,240 --> 01:23:39,560
Speaker 1: there when you feel like being somewhere else. You have

1338
01:23:39,680 --> 01:23:42,280
Speaker 1: to say yes a lot of times when you really

1339
01:23:42,320 --> 01:23:46,960
Speaker 1: want to just say no. That's where you're at, man,

1340
01:23:48,280 --> 01:23:51,920
Speaker 1: That's how you become successful. But you can't keep asking

1341
01:23:52,040 --> 01:23:54,040
Speaker 1: God for more and you ain't willing to do more.

1342
01:23:55,479 --> 01:23:59,479
Speaker 1: It doesn't make any sense. It cannot happen that way

1343
01:23:59,560 --> 01:24:04,360
Speaker 1: for so come on, I want you to want more

1344
01:24:04,439 --> 01:24:08,320
Speaker 1: for your life. But there's a scripture that that bags

1345
01:24:08,400 --> 01:24:12,040
Speaker 1: that up too. It said to whom much is given,

1346
01:24:13,400 --> 01:24:19,160
Speaker 1: much is required. Now, if you don't want the requirements,

1347
01:24:20,560 --> 01:24:22,639
Speaker 1: then he gonna have to pull up on a given.

1348
01:24:25,960 --> 01:24:30,800
Speaker 1: But if you want the given, know that here come

1349
01:24:30,880 --> 01:24:35,680
Speaker 1: the requirements. So one more time, if you don't want

1350
01:24:35,720 --> 01:24:39,360
Speaker 1: the requirements, he gonna have to pull up on a given.

1351
01:24:41,120 --> 01:24:45,560
Speaker 1: Do not be the one who blocks your own blessings.

1352
01:24:46,200 --> 01:24:49,800
Speaker 1: Want more for your life and be willing to do
