00:02:12,280 --> 00:02:15,840
Speaker 1: Steve Harvey got a radio show because God. Because God

11
00:02:15,960 --> 00:02:20,200
Speaker 1: is simply amazing. Because God is off the chain, because

12
00:02:20,240 --> 00:02:23,520
Speaker 1: God is over the top, because God is all that

Speaker 1: will take you places that you never ever thought you

15
00:02:30,960 --> 00:02:34,400
Speaker 1: would go. Oh you know what? It Sometimes it amazes

16
00:02:34,520 --> 00:02:38,080
Speaker 1: me when I'm watching all people talk about themselves and

17
00:02:38,120 --> 00:02:41,320
Speaker 1: their careers and where they're adding life and things and

18
00:02:41,440 --> 00:02:44,960
Speaker 1: they and I hear people say, you know, always dreamed

19
00:02:44,960 --> 00:02:48,280
Speaker 1: of being him. You know, I can understand when a

20
00:02:48,360 --> 00:02:52,240
Speaker 1: person says that I've always dreamed of something like this

21
00:02:52,240 --> 00:02:54,240
Speaker 1: would happen to me. But I want you to think

22
00:02:54,280 --> 00:02:59,640
Speaker 1: about that for a second. Did you really see it

23
00:02:59,680 --> 00:03:04,120
Speaker 1: just like that though? Did you really really see it

24
00:03:04,360 --> 00:03:10,320
Speaker 1: just like that? Did you really know that God was

25
00:03:10,360 --> 00:03:13,320
Speaker 1: gonna bring you through all he bought you through to

26
00:03:13,360 --> 00:03:16,840
Speaker 1: get you to this place? Did you know that, in

27
00:03:16,880 --> 00:03:20,040
Speaker 1: spite of the losses along the way that would crumble

28
00:03:20,360 --> 00:03:23,720
Speaker 1: the average person, that somehow He kept you through it

29
00:03:23,840 --> 00:03:28,320
Speaker 1: all and that's how you got here? Did you think

30
00:03:28,320 --> 00:03:30,679
Speaker 1: of you know? I mean, you know, you know. I mean,

31
00:03:30,680 --> 00:03:34,320
Speaker 1: since you're so busy talking about yourself now, have you

32
00:03:34,480 --> 00:03:38,880
Speaker 1: forgotten all the times He was bringing you through when

33
00:03:38,880 --> 00:03:42,000
Speaker 1: you didn't see no way that you was gonna get through?

34
00:03:42,720 --> 00:03:45,160
Speaker 1: Do you remember that? So when you sit there and

35
00:03:45,200 --> 00:03:49,040
Speaker 1: you say, I dreamed of this, this is what I

36
00:03:49,120 --> 00:03:52,839
Speaker 1: always saw happening, I don't really think. So, I don't

37
00:03:52,880 --> 00:03:56,520
Speaker 1: really think. If you take inventory, or real close inventory

38
00:03:56,560 --> 00:03:59,040
Speaker 1: of your life and you look back on it all,

39
00:03:59,120 --> 00:04:02,080
Speaker 1: stop looking at the moment right now, remember where you

40
00:04:02,160 --> 00:04:05,280
Speaker 1: come from. See, that's what gets me emotional sometimes, that's

41
00:04:05,280 --> 00:04:08,520
Speaker 1: what makes me tear up, because when something is happening

42
00:04:08,560 --> 00:04:12,119
Speaker 1: to me in the moment, it ain't the moment for me,

43
00:04:12,960 --> 00:04:16,440
Speaker 1: it's the memory of how I got there. It's the

44
00:04:16,520 --> 00:04:21,240
Speaker 1: recollection of all the things, all the nights, all the

45
00:04:21,440 --> 00:04:25,279
Speaker 1: days in that car, all the times by myself when

46
00:04:25,279 --> 00:04:28,120
Speaker 1: I felt like I wasn't gonna make it. But somehow

47
00:04:28,200 --> 00:04:31,000
Speaker 1: I'm standing somewhere and somebody passing out an the ward

48
00:04:31,080 --> 00:04:35,279
Speaker 1: to me or somebody calling my name, that's that. Did

49
00:04:35,320 --> 00:04:38,160
Speaker 1: you really think you was gonna make it? Then? So

50
00:04:38,160 --> 00:04:40,080
Speaker 1: so so, since you're talking about this is what I

51
00:04:40,120 --> 00:04:43,960
Speaker 1: always dreamed of? Did you really think in those moments

52
00:04:44,040 --> 00:04:46,520
Speaker 1: right there that you would even be standing here today?

53
00:04:46,720 --> 00:04:49,120
Speaker 1: That's why I try. I try to give people understand

54
00:04:49,200 --> 00:04:51,479
Speaker 1: you know, and and and and this is kind of

55
00:04:51,520 --> 00:04:54,560
Speaker 1: for young people today what I'm about to say. But

56
00:04:54,640 --> 00:04:57,600
Speaker 1: then guess what I sometimes I have to remind myself

57
00:04:57,640 --> 00:04:59,880
Speaker 1: of it. So I guess it's still kind of for everybody,

58
00:05:00,400 --> 00:05:02,799
Speaker 1: you know, because I work with a lot of young people,

59
00:05:02,839 --> 00:05:07,360
Speaker 1: and so many times, man, young people just don't understand

60
00:05:08,839 --> 00:05:12,040
Speaker 1: what all it takes. And I know, and if you're

61
00:05:12,040 --> 00:05:14,320
Speaker 1: a full grown a dot, if you're forty, you you

62
00:05:14,480 --> 00:05:20,080
Speaker 1: really understanding where I'm coming from, because you know, it's

63
00:05:20,520 --> 00:05:23,839
Speaker 1: listen to me, young people or anybody that don't understand this,

64
00:05:24,680 --> 00:05:27,320
Speaker 1: that you got to do some things that you don't

65
00:05:27,360 --> 00:05:30,960
Speaker 1: want to do. In order to do what you want

66
00:05:30,960 --> 00:05:35,240
Speaker 1: to do, you have to understand this principle of success

67
00:05:35,360 --> 00:05:38,960
Speaker 1: or else you are not going to become successful. I

68
00:05:39,120 --> 00:05:42,480
Speaker 1: got what you want to do. I got your ultimate goal?

69
00:05:42,680 --> 00:05:45,400
Speaker 1: Is this, that, and the other? I got all of that.

70
00:05:45,560 --> 00:05:50,120
Speaker 1: But in the meantime, though, there are some necessary steps

71
00:05:50,160 --> 00:05:52,680
Speaker 1: that you have to take in order to become successful,

72
00:05:52,760 --> 00:05:56,600
Speaker 1: and you cannot skip these steps. You can't jump over

73
00:05:56,640 --> 00:05:58,839
Speaker 1: these steps just because you want to be rich, Friday,

74
00:05:58,920 --> 00:06:03,960
Speaker 1: I got that. I got that. Everybody got that. But

75
00:06:04,160 --> 00:06:07,560
Speaker 1: if you want this, whatever you're talking about, whether it's

76
00:06:07,680 --> 00:06:11,280
Speaker 1: money or success or fame or climbing the corporate letter

77
00:06:11,400 --> 00:06:14,799
Speaker 1: or this is the position or you all, that's fine,

78
00:06:14,800 --> 00:06:18,719
Speaker 1: and Danny, please hold on to your dreams. Dreams come true.

79
00:06:19,800 --> 00:06:23,400
Speaker 1: But in the meantime, let me remind you of something

80
00:06:24,000 --> 00:06:26,680
Speaker 1: that you gotta do some things you don't want to

81
00:06:26,720 --> 00:06:30,000
Speaker 1: do in order to do what you want to do.

82
00:06:30,560 --> 00:06:32,520
Speaker 1: Let's say you want to be rich and famous. Let's

83
00:06:32,520 --> 00:06:35,080
Speaker 1: just say that's it for you. Let's sit It's a

84
00:06:35,160 --> 00:06:37,440
Speaker 1: lot of other ways of being successful. Please don't think

85
00:06:37,440 --> 00:06:39,000
Speaker 1: that's the only one. But I'm just saying, let's just

86
00:06:39,040 --> 00:06:43,200
Speaker 1: say yours is rich and famous, And let's say some

87
00:06:43,360 --> 00:06:49,480
Speaker 1: miraculous way God made you rich and famous. Next Friday,

88
00:06:50,040 --> 00:06:53,240
Speaker 1: you rich and you famous? Next Friday? Can I share

89
00:06:53,279 --> 00:06:56,680
Speaker 1: something with you? This is not going to last for you.

90
00:06:56,680 --> 00:06:59,520
Speaker 1: You know why because you have not done the things

91
00:06:59,720 --> 00:07:03,880
Speaker 1: next Sinceary, you have not done the things that you

92
00:07:04,320 --> 00:07:07,559
Speaker 1: have to do in order to do the things you want.

93
00:07:07,760 --> 00:07:11,120
Speaker 1: So now you're rich and famous. How you gonna know

94
00:07:11,120 --> 00:07:15,040
Speaker 1: how to budget money? How are you gonna know how

95
00:07:15,080 --> 00:07:17,840
Speaker 1: to get up and keep clawing towards the top when

96
00:07:17,920 --> 00:07:22,080
Speaker 1: you fall off your pedestal? See, it's so many things

97
00:07:22,080 --> 00:07:25,679
Speaker 1: you got to know about something, and you think because

98
00:07:25,680 --> 00:07:27,800
Speaker 1: it's what you want right now, it's supposed to happen

99
00:07:27,840 --> 00:07:30,880
Speaker 1: just now. It's a process when you ask God for something.

100
00:07:31,120 --> 00:07:35,200
Speaker 1: Please know God know the process. He knows the necessary

101
00:07:35,320 --> 00:07:38,120
Speaker 1: steps to take you through. Don't lose your patience with

102
00:07:38,240 --> 00:07:43,520
Speaker 1: God because your dreams ain't coming true right now? Man?

103
00:07:44,600 --> 00:07:46,720
Speaker 1: You know you know I think the best way y'all

104
00:07:46,880 --> 00:07:49,440
Speaker 1: is for me. I just use myself as an example.

105
00:07:49,480 --> 00:07:52,120
Speaker 1: I really do understand why God has given me the

106
00:07:52,200 --> 00:07:54,960
Speaker 1: life he's giving me so far. I understand it being

107
00:07:55,080 --> 00:07:59,120
Speaker 1: homeless part. Now I get the not being successful when

108
00:07:59,120 --> 00:08:01,840
Speaker 1: I want it too. Now I get it. I got

109
00:08:01,880 --> 00:08:05,320
Speaker 1: the delayed entry into the field of choice for myself.

110
00:08:05,600 --> 00:08:07,640
Speaker 1: I got it now. I've been wanting to be on

111
00:08:07,720 --> 00:08:10,920
Speaker 1: TV and a little comedian since I was nine years old.

112
00:08:11,000 --> 00:08:12,880
Speaker 1: But guess what, I didn't get there until I was

113
00:08:12,960 --> 00:08:16,400
Speaker 1: twenty eight. But see I didn't get it. Then I

114
00:08:16,480 --> 00:08:19,480
Speaker 1: was mad at God. You know what, I won't np

115
00:08:19,520 --> 00:08:21,600
Speaker 1: sending them in here. I got exactly what you want,

116
00:08:21,680 --> 00:08:23,360
Speaker 1: But I got this process. I want you to go

117
00:08:23,400 --> 00:08:26,320
Speaker 1: through to get here too, because see I'm fit to

118
00:08:26,360 --> 00:08:28,400
Speaker 1: take you somewhere. You don't know nothing, but one day

119
00:08:28,400 --> 00:08:30,040

Speaker 1: you with a radio show. You don't even know it.

122
00:08:35,080 --> 00:08:37,199
Speaker 1: That's why I say every morning, Steve Harvey got a

123
00:08:37,320 --> 00:08:40,079
Speaker 1: radio show because see I didn't. I didn't see this

124
00:08:40,080 --> 00:08:42,160
Speaker 1: one coming. But see God had a plan for me.

125
00:08:42,200 --> 00:08:44,760
Speaker 1: It was in the blueprint of my life. So God said,

126
00:08:44,760 --> 00:08:46,760

167
00:11:34,800 --> 00:11:39,000
Speaker 1: just being there for ninety minutes suffering. And you know

168
00:11:39,080 --> 00:11:42,560
Speaker 1: what the instructor tells me, if you just show up

169
00:11:42,760 --> 00:11:47,360
Speaker 1: and breathe show up and breathe. You know, I can

170
00:11:47,440 --> 00:11:51,000
Speaker 1: do a couple of the poses a little bit. That's good,

171
00:11:51,640 --> 00:11:56,040
Speaker 1: just a cut, the hardest one, all of them. But

172
00:11:56,160 --> 00:11:59,280
Speaker 1: don't you think if you went more offensive? Well that's

173
00:11:59,320 --> 00:12:01,400
Speaker 1: what they said, they say, if they say if I

174
00:12:01,559 --> 00:12:05,160
Speaker 1: go all the time to yoga, that you'll be able

175
00:12:05,200 --> 00:12:08,760
Speaker 1: to do all of this in a year. I can't

176
00:12:08,840 --> 00:12:14,120
Speaker 1: see it stretching. You don't see. Yeah, you don't know.

177
00:12:14,280 --> 00:12:16,280
Speaker 1: It's a couple of things I know I'll never do.

178
00:12:16,720 --> 00:12:19,120
Speaker 1: I didn't tell her that, but I can tell you

179
00:12:19,320 --> 00:12:21,880
Speaker 1: right now there's nothing that's a couple of these moves

180
00:12:22,240 --> 00:12:25,320
Speaker 1: in beat from yoga that I'll never ever. I don't

181
00:12:25,320 --> 00:12:28,839
Speaker 1: even want to because, yeah, well why would I do that.

182
00:12:29,480 --> 00:12:33,600
Speaker 1: I'm trying to figure out why I would sit between

183
00:12:33,720 --> 00:12:36,720
Speaker 1: my legs with my butt on the floor and then

184
00:12:36,880 --> 00:12:42,240
Speaker 1: laid my head back on the floor for what. Just yeah,

185
00:12:43,559 --> 00:12:46,520
Speaker 1: the same reason you're doing all the other poses. It's

186
00:12:46,600 --> 00:12:50,800
Speaker 1: all right, right, it's beyond the stretch. That ain't what

187
00:12:50,920 --> 00:13:02,560
Speaker 1: to see. It ain't stretched stretching. That touch your toes,

188
00:13:02,720 --> 00:13:07,160
Speaker 1: that's stretching. This that they're doing in beak room. Beyond

189
00:13:07,760 --> 00:13:12,200
Speaker 1: that ain't stretching. That's like you you're this erupturing and tearing,

190
00:13:12,400 --> 00:13:18,599
Speaker 1: removing displacement. You were pretzel? Do you wave pass? I

191
00:13:18,640 --> 00:13:21,360
Speaker 1: don't even understand. I told him maybe one time. I said, look,

192
00:13:21,360 --> 00:13:23,120
Speaker 1: I can't do all this. I need I need my

Speaker 1: my mother she is not allowed to have men in

212
00:14:30,160 --> 00:14:32,800
Speaker 1: my home anymore. She said, I can't tell her what

213
00:14:32,960 --> 00:14:36,240
Speaker 1: to do? Well, how do I respectfully get my mother

214

Speaker 1: in line while she's in my home? See it? Well,

215
00:14:40,400 --> 00:14:44,840
Speaker 1: you know, see you can't tell her what to do

216
00:14:45,160 --> 00:14:49,560
Speaker 1: in light, but you can have rules in your house

217
00:14:50,680 --> 00:14:54,560
Speaker 1: and respect goes both ways. You're old enough. Now, how

218
00:14:54,680 --> 00:14:57,720
Speaker 1: does she say forty two? Forty two? Who's forty two?

219

Speaker 1: to be sitting in the car, That's all it is.

263
00:17:49,000 --> 00:17:51,200
Speaker 1: She's just like, yeah, man, that's probably all it is.

00:18:04,119 --> 00:18:06,440
Speaker 1: one too. I'm getting a man that is married and

268
00:18:06,600 --> 00:18:09,600
Speaker 1: his wife is a lunatic. She's been knowing about us

269
00:18:09,680 --> 00:18:12,800
Speaker 1: for a while, so I'm shocked she still cares. I

270
00:18:12,960 --> 00:18:15,040
Speaker 1: think she needs to take all of her anger out

271
00:18:15,119 --> 00:18:17,800
Speaker 1: on her husband, because he seeks me out, not the

272
00:18:17,880 --> 00:18:21,520
Speaker 1: other way around. I've had to get a restraining order

273
00:18:21,600 --> 00:18:23,480
Speaker 1: on her, and I had to put cameras on the

274
00:18:23,520 --> 00:18:26,159
Speaker 1: front of my house because I'm sure she was the

275
00:18:26,240 --> 00:18:29,439
Speaker 1: one that tried to slash my tires once. I've asked

276
00:18:29,480 --> 00:18:32,640
Speaker 1: her nicely not to bother me. Would I be wrong

277
00:18:32,760 --> 00:18:37,720
Speaker 1: to beat her ass one good time? I'm surprised she

00:18:52,560 --> 00:18:55,560
Speaker 1: You know what I mean? He seeks me out? Or well,

283
00:18:56,640 --> 00:18:58,920
Speaker 1: you know you could put a stop to that, right,

00:18:59,240 --> 00:19:03,200

Speaker 1: not a woman, know about y'all. She might be trying

300
00:20:01,280 --> 00:20:03,960
Speaker 1: fit enough to have visitation with our children. I don't

301
00:20:04,000 --> 00:20:06,080
Speaker 1: want to say what's wrong with her, but she has

302
00:20:06,119 --> 00:20:08,960
Speaker 1: some bad habits and our children are all under ten

303
00:20:09,080 --> 00:20:12,200

Speaker 1: with the heartfelt letter to your young nephew what's his name, Trusha, Trisha, Yeah, Trisha,

474
00:31:02,440 --> 00:31:04,719
Speaker 1: and you're trying to help him make sense of all

00:31:04,800 --> 00:31:07,440
Speaker 1: the racial unrest in twenty twenty, tell us about that.

476
00:31:07,600 --> 00:31:11,880
Speaker 1: Don Well, you know, James Bowan opened his book The

477
00:31:11,920 --> 00:31:13,600
Speaker 1: Fire Next Time with a letter to his nephew, and

478
00:31:13,640 --> 00:31:16,200
Speaker 1: it was one hundred years after the Emancipation Proclamation and

479
00:31:16,280 --> 00:31:18,240
Speaker 1: he said, you know, we're celebrating this one hundred years

480
00:31:18,280 --> 00:31:21,680
Speaker 1: too soon. And so this is I started writing the book. Well,

481
00:31:21,760 --> 00:31:23,800
Speaker 1: let me back up just for a second. You know,

482
00:31:23,920 --> 00:31:25,760
Speaker 1: during the Trump administration, if you're in the news and

483
00:31:25,800 --> 00:31:28,360
Speaker 1: the President talks about your tweets about you, everybody wanted

484
00:31:28,400 --> 00:31:30,160
Speaker 1: you to write the book. If you're reporting on the

485
00:31:30,200 --> 00:31:34,720
Speaker 1: Trump administration, right between sixteen and twenty, everybody and their

486
00:31:34,840 --> 00:31:37,000
Speaker 1: mama was asking me to write a book. And I said, no,

487
00:31:37,240 --> 00:31:38,840
Speaker 1: I don't want to write a political book. I don't

488
00:31:38,840 --> 00:31:41,920
Speaker 1: want to be connected to this administration. And then Steve

489
00:31:42,720 --> 00:31:47,360
Speaker 1: George Floyd happened and I was at home in quarantine.

490
00:31:47,440 --> 00:31:50,200
Speaker 1: I couldn't go to my family, I couldn't talk to them. Yeah,

491
00:31:50,360 --> 00:31:53,640
Speaker 1: and I started by saying to my nephew that I

492
00:31:53,920 --> 00:31:56,400
Speaker 1: was worried. I said, Trishade, I saw a man die

493
00:31:56,480 --> 00:31:58,080
Speaker 1: to day and he called out to his mama and

494
00:31:58,160 --> 00:32:02,880
Speaker 1: cried for his mama and nephew, he's fourteen. He's thirteen then,

495
00:32:03,560 --> 00:32:06,240
Speaker 1: and you know, and I was worried about the world

496
00:32:06,280 --> 00:32:09,320
Speaker 1: that he was about to inherit, that those those young

497
00:32:09,360 --> 00:32:11,680
Speaker 1: people are going to inherit this world that we have

498
00:32:11,840 --> 00:32:14,040
Speaker 1: set up and created for them. And this was my

499
00:32:14,160 --> 00:32:17,479
Speaker 1: way of showing love to him. And I said, if

500
00:32:17,560 --> 00:32:19,880
Speaker 1: James Balwin could write a letter to his nephew and

501
00:32:19,880 --> 00:32:21,360
Speaker 1: start off a book, that's how I want to start

502
00:32:21,400 --> 00:32:24,160
Speaker 1: off my book to It's actually my great nephew. And

503
00:32:24,320 --> 00:32:28,040
Speaker 1: I helped to raise his mom and you know his

504
00:32:28,160 --> 00:32:31,600
Speaker 1: aunts and which are my nieces, and they're growing women

505
00:32:31,640 --> 00:32:34,240
Speaker 1: now they're doing great in the world. But he needed

506
00:32:34,320 --> 00:32:35,959
Speaker 1: to know that I love him and that there were

507
00:32:36,040 --> 00:32:37,720
Speaker 1: people like me. Even though we may not have done

508
00:32:37,720 --> 00:32:40,360
Speaker 1: a perfect with Seve, I think you'll admit that we tried.

509
00:32:40,600 --> 00:32:42,640
Speaker 1: And I was trying to tell him he hits my

510
00:32:42,760 --> 00:32:45,480
Speaker 1: support and whatever he needed to carry on this world

511
00:32:45,520 --> 00:32:47,239
Speaker 1: a better way. And that's what I was. That's why

512
00:32:47,280 --> 00:32:50,760
Speaker 1: I did it. You know that that's an interesting take

513
00:32:50,840 --> 00:32:55,640
Speaker 1: down because I think that so many people don't understand

514
00:32:55,720 --> 00:33:00,440
Speaker 1: that as African Americans, the burden that were battle with

515
00:33:01,240 --> 00:33:04,720
Speaker 1: in terms of helping to raise our younger generation, our

516
00:33:04,840 --> 00:33:07,800
Speaker 1: children our nephews, our young people. I don't think they

517
00:33:07,960 --> 00:33:13,560
Speaker 1: understand what all comes with that, because, like you said,

518
00:33:13,640 --> 00:33:16,320
Speaker 1: you were home doing COVID when George Floyd died. You

519
00:33:17,600 --> 00:33:21,000
Speaker 1: you have you, you all, you donate a chapter to this.

520
00:33:21,920 --> 00:33:24,200
Speaker 1: What were your thoughts man, when you watch this on

521
00:33:24,320 --> 00:33:26,960
Speaker 1: film because you had to cover it? Oh my godness,

522
00:33:27,040 --> 00:33:28,680
Speaker 1: I mean, I mean over and over and over. What

523
00:33:28,840 --> 00:33:31,960
Speaker 1: were your thoughts when you when you watch the video?

524
00:33:32,120 --> 00:33:36,520
Speaker 1: What was Don Lemon thinking? It was Steve? It was

525
00:33:36,600 --> 00:33:39,880
Speaker 1: the weirdest out of body experience that I can't It

526
00:33:40,080 --> 00:33:44,720
Speaker 1: was like it was like me, watch me reporting, but

527
00:33:44,960 --> 00:33:49,280
Speaker 1: watching me watch somebody else reporting. And let me tell

528
00:33:49,320 --> 00:33:51,560
Speaker 1: you why I say that. First of all, it enraged me.

529
00:33:52,480 --> 00:33:55,200
Speaker 1: It was as a person of color, It just it

530
00:33:55,360 --> 00:33:57,360
Speaker 1: just honestly pissed me off. You guys can beat me

531
00:33:57,400 --> 00:34:00,360
Speaker 1: and do whatever you want, but honestly, I was so

532
00:34:00,920 --> 00:34:04,160
Speaker 1: angry at the administration. First of all, they were gassed

533
00:34:04,200 --> 00:34:06,040
Speaker 1: and people would you remember they did that in front

534
00:34:06,040 --> 00:34:09,200
Speaker 1: of the White House. And then they were pretending that

535
00:34:09,320 --> 00:34:11,520
Speaker 1: it was somehow the people who were oppressed, that it

536
00:34:11,600 --> 00:34:15,200
Speaker 1: was George Floyd's fault, of the protester's fault. About what

537
00:34:15,360 --> 00:34:17,320
Speaker 1: was happening in the country. They were turning the tables.

538
00:34:17,640 --> 00:34:21,920
Speaker 1: And then there was one night where I happened not

539
00:34:22,080 --> 00:34:24,279
Speaker 1: to go into the city into the CNN because I

540
00:34:24,480 --> 00:34:27,360
Speaker 1: like to go, especially when we have big stories like this.

541
00:34:27,520 --> 00:34:29,840
Speaker 1: I like to go in where the company has a

542
00:34:29,920 --> 00:34:32,200
Speaker 1: setup where you know the line's not going to go down,

543
00:34:32,719 --> 00:34:34,640
Speaker 1: the camera's not going to go down, the audiences are

544
00:34:34,640 --> 00:34:38,000
Speaker 1: not going to go out. And so but this one night,

545
00:34:38,200 --> 00:34:40,279
Speaker 1: all hell broke loose and my boss said, get on

546
00:34:40,320 --> 00:34:41,959
Speaker 1: the air, and I got on. I was at home

547
00:34:42,120 --> 00:34:47,040
Speaker 1: speed reporting on fires on the West Coast, in Chicago,

548
00:34:47,440 --> 00:34:51,839
Speaker 1: in New York, in LA in Washington, DC, and I'm

549
00:34:51,920 --> 00:34:54,040
Speaker 1: crying out. I'm like I felt like I was and

550
00:34:54,360 --> 00:34:57,239
Speaker 1: I felt like I was the only person left on earth,

551
00:34:57,719 --> 00:35:02,200
Speaker 1: and I'm trying to explain to every whoever's left, whoever's watching,

552
00:35:02,560 --> 00:35:05,080
Speaker 1: look at what's happening. And basically I was saying, help, help,

553
00:35:05,400 --> 00:35:07,680
Speaker 1: and I said some dumb thing that I regret that

554
00:35:07,719 --> 00:35:10,880
Speaker 1: I said because I was, and I was. I was

555
00:35:11,040 --> 00:35:14,200
Speaker 1: crying out for people that I know, who I know

556
00:35:14,400 --> 00:35:17,440
Speaker 1: had influenced to help because I felt like I was

557
00:35:17,520 --> 00:35:20,040
Speaker 1: a man on an island all by myself, and I

558
00:35:20,200 --> 00:35:23,920
Speaker 1: was saying, look at what's happening to America, y'all, please please,

559
00:35:24,120 --> 00:35:26,480
Speaker 1: please do something. So I felt like I was the

560
00:35:26,600 --> 00:35:29,600
Speaker 1: only one doing it. Um And because I was the

561
00:35:29,680 --> 00:35:32,200
Speaker 1: only one on the air at the time. You know,

562
00:35:32,400 --> 00:35:39,440
Speaker 1: that's interesting, man, because I often wondered how you felt,

563
00:35:39,560 --> 00:35:41,920
Speaker 1: because I understood where you were coming from when you

564
00:35:42,000 --> 00:35:45,239
Speaker 1: were calling people out, because man, you just wanted those

565
00:35:45,320 --> 00:35:47,920
Speaker 1: of us who had a voice to raise up and

566
00:35:48,080 --> 00:35:51,320
Speaker 1: use it. Because what you had been watching happening was

567
00:35:51,440 --> 00:35:55,360
Speaker 1: like it was almost the rebirth of the civil rights movement.

568
00:35:55,440 --> 00:35:59,120
Speaker 1: What happened the Red Matter? Oh it's crazy. Hey, hang

569
00:35:59,239 --> 00:36:01,200
Speaker 1: on right there, gonna writ there, We're gonna come back.

570
00:36:01,239 --> 00:36:03,600
Speaker 1: We got more with Don Lemon right after this. We

571
00:36:03,719 --> 00:36:06,080
Speaker 1: got a lot to talk about with Don right after this.

572
00:36:06,760 --> 00:36:12,040
Speaker 1: You're listening, all right, everybody, We're back. We're back with

573
00:36:12,200 --> 00:36:14,640
Speaker 1: Don Lemon from CNN. He's got a new book out

574
00:36:14,840 --> 00:36:19,240
Speaker 1: called This is the Fire and Uh. It's a compelling book.

575
00:36:19,719 --> 00:36:23,360
Speaker 1: Uh and and and it's all about relationships, race relations

576
00:36:23,400 --> 00:36:25,200
Speaker 1: in this country and some of his takes on it.

577
00:36:25,400 --> 00:36:27,600
Speaker 1: And when we left, we were talking about the George

578
00:36:27,680 --> 00:36:31,680
Speaker 1: Floyd incident. And you've dedicated a chapter in this book

579
00:36:32,719 --> 00:36:35,000
Speaker 1: when you what what did you want this chapter to

580
00:36:35,080 --> 00:36:37,920
Speaker 1: speak to to your audience who read? Who reads the book?

581
00:36:38,640 --> 00:36:42,920
Speaker 1: I wanted it to speak to just how dire the

582
00:36:43,080 --> 00:36:47,080
Speaker 1: situation is when it comes to what when when when

583
00:36:47,120 --> 00:36:50,120
Speaker 1: people speak about black lives mattering? We know what Black

584
00:36:50,200 --> 00:36:52,640
Speaker 1: lives matter means, and we know what the people who

585
00:36:52,840 --> 00:36:55,880
Speaker 1: try to denegrate and downgrade black lives matter. We know

586
00:36:56,000 --> 00:36:58,319
Speaker 1: what they mean, and we know that they don't care

587
00:36:58,360 --> 00:37:03,960
Speaker 1: about our about our lives, and quite frankly, the entire book, look,

588
00:37:04,120 --> 00:37:06,640
Speaker 1: let's see, this book is so honest. I don't know

589
00:37:06,719 --> 00:37:08,800
Speaker 1: if I'm going to get in trouble about it, but

590
00:37:09,280 --> 00:37:11,560
Speaker 1: I'm honest with what we all need to do, and

591
00:37:11,719 --> 00:37:14,080
Speaker 1: especially white people need to do. If we want to

592
00:37:14,120 --> 00:37:16,160
Speaker 1: fix this problem, you got to do the work. You

593
00:37:16,320 --> 00:37:19,080
Speaker 1: can't say when something like George Floyd happens. The reason

594
00:37:19,400 --> 00:37:20,719
Speaker 1: that was one of the reasons I wrote the books.

595
00:37:21,040 --> 00:37:22,719
Speaker 1: So many people calling me things, what do I do?

596
00:37:22,760 --> 00:37:24,640
Speaker 1: I feel like I left by black friends down. I

597
00:37:24,719 --> 00:37:26,600
Speaker 1: didn't know that this happened, right, And I'm sure you

598
00:37:26,719 --> 00:37:28,279
Speaker 1: had some of that too with people you know who

599
00:37:28,320 --> 00:37:30,360
Speaker 1: are of a different ethnicity. And so that's why I

600
00:37:30,360 --> 00:37:32,040
Speaker 1: wrote the book. But then when you tell them what

601
00:37:32,080 --> 00:37:33,640
Speaker 1: they need to do, they say, well that's hard. I

602
00:37:33,680 --> 00:37:36,080
Speaker 1: don't know, but it's practical. That means what they don't

603
00:37:36,120 --> 00:37:37,759
Speaker 1: want to do the work. So you have to do

604
00:37:37,840 --> 00:37:40,279
Speaker 1: the work. And guess what, You got to know a

605
00:37:40,360 --> 00:37:43,000
Speaker 1: black person. You gotta know a Hispanic person. You got

606
00:37:43,120 --> 00:37:44,359
Speaker 1: to know a person of color. You have a type

607
00:37:44,400 --> 00:37:47,359
Speaker 1: of relationship with someone if you're if you truly want

608
00:37:47,400 --> 00:37:49,680
Speaker 1: to make the saint, you can't just call your one

609
00:37:49,760 --> 00:37:53,680
Speaker 1: black friend or someone you're one black coworker when something

610
00:37:53,800 --> 00:37:56,320
Speaker 1: like this goes down and expect like, oh okay, and

611
00:37:56,400 --> 00:37:59,200
Speaker 1: then donate some money. That's not what it's about, right,

612
00:38:00,160 --> 00:38:03,439
Speaker 1: That's why I'm dedicated. You gotta be real. Let's be real.

613
00:38:03,719 --> 00:38:05,399
Speaker 1: We got to know each other and talk to each

614
00:38:05,400 --> 00:38:07,800
Speaker 1: other and have relationships with each other. See, that's the

615
00:38:07,880 --> 00:38:11,480
Speaker 1: perfect way to put it down, because you cannot sit

616
00:38:11,600 --> 00:38:16,760
Speaker 1: around each other as non African Americans and talk about

617
00:38:16,880 --> 00:38:20,279
Speaker 1: a problem when you don't know all the idio secrecies

618
00:38:20,440 --> 00:38:23,759
Speaker 1: of the problem. It's the same thing that we keep

619
00:38:23,840 --> 00:38:27,200
Speaker 1: running into over and over. We have the wrong people

620
00:38:27,360 --> 00:38:30,440
Speaker 1: trying to define the word racism, and they think if

621
00:38:30,480 --> 00:38:33,000
Speaker 1: they just don't use the end word that they're not

622
00:38:33,120 --> 00:38:36,080
Speaker 1: a racist. They don't even know the understuff. I was

623
00:38:36,160 --> 00:38:39,879
Speaker 1: watching a woman interview Tony Morrison online the other day

624
00:38:40,160 --> 00:38:43,960
Speaker 1: and she asked, Tony Morrison, you write so eloquently, will

625
00:38:44,000 --> 00:38:48,480
Speaker 1: you ever write stories about whites? And she says, I do,

626
00:38:49,280 --> 00:38:53,320
Speaker 1: but you don't know how inherently racist that statement is

627
00:38:53,360 --> 00:38:56,080
Speaker 1: you just made. And the white lady was sitting there

628
00:38:56,160 --> 00:38:59,160
Speaker 1: just bit funnel because she didn't get it. But why

629
00:38:59,200 --> 00:39:01,279
Speaker 1: does Tony moore us and have to write story about

630
00:39:01,280 --> 00:39:04,200
Speaker 1: white people? You don't ask a Spielberg or I mean,

631
00:39:04,239 --> 00:39:06,600
Speaker 1: you don't ask Spelling or nobody when they're gonna write

632
00:39:06,600 --> 00:39:10,480
Speaker 1: some story about some black people. You just take their stories. Hey,

633
00:39:10,560 --> 00:39:13,840
Speaker 1: don hang on again, man, we got don lemon I

634
00:39:13,960 --> 00:39:16,320
Speaker 1: got some topics when we come back. I want to

635
00:39:16,320 --> 00:39:21,520
Speaker 1: get his opinion on what's happening on the Talk. When

636
00:39:21,600 --> 00:39:24,640
Speaker 1: we come back, what's going on on the Talk. We'll

637
00:39:24,680 --> 00:39:35,719
Speaker 1: be right back. You're listening to everybody. We're back, and

638
00:39:35,880 --> 00:39:38,880
Speaker 1: we're keeping him over because we get to talk with

639
00:39:38,960 --> 00:39:41,000
Speaker 1: a guy who, first of all, all of us on

640
00:39:41,120 --> 00:39:45,760
Speaker 1: the show, Shirley Carler, Tommy Junior, Monica, we're all fans.

641
00:39:46,600 --> 00:39:51,880
Speaker 1: You don I mean, bro, we we talk often about

642
00:39:52,239 --> 00:39:58,080
Speaker 1: what the hell did Don say? Yeah? Becausis man, we were, well,

643
00:39:58,120 --> 00:40:00,680
Speaker 1: all right, what did Don say? Damn? We're everybody else

644
00:40:00,680 --> 00:40:05,000
Speaker 1: say because Don got that attitude we need because you know, Don,

645
00:40:05,080 --> 00:40:08,960
Speaker 1: The thing about you, man, is you're very authentic. And

646
00:40:09,160 --> 00:40:12,040
Speaker 1: the thing that makes you a great reporter is like

647
00:40:12,239 --> 00:40:15,040
Speaker 1: it or not, You're gonna say what you feel, and

648
00:40:15,160 --> 00:40:18,640
Speaker 1: if it makes you uncomfortable, it's okay. But the thing

649
00:40:18,680 --> 00:40:24,960
Speaker 1: about it is you don't lie. So right, well, here

650
00:40:25,480 --> 00:40:27,719
Speaker 1: as I as I read if you read The Fire

651
00:40:27,800 --> 00:40:31,960
Speaker 1: next time by James Bowing, he talks about people going

652
00:40:32,040 --> 00:40:37,160
Speaker 1: to their grave, you know, judging people keeping the status

653
00:40:37,239 --> 00:40:39,719
Speaker 1: quo in order not really doing what they want to do.

654
00:40:39,800 --> 00:40:41,040
Speaker 1: I don't want to go to my grave and not

655
00:40:41,120 --> 00:40:44,279
Speaker 1: get everything out that I need to get out. And look,

656
00:40:44,400 --> 00:40:46,120
Speaker 1: you know, Steve, when you're first starting out and you

657
00:40:46,160 --> 00:40:48,080
Speaker 1: first get a position, you gotta be careful like, okay,

658
00:40:48,080 --> 00:40:49,399
Speaker 1: I gotta do this, and I don't know, I don't

659
00:40:49,400 --> 00:40:51,239
Speaker 1: want to think anybody else. And then once you get

660
00:40:51,280 --> 00:40:54,320
Speaker 1: there and you established that you can do it and

661
00:40:54,440 --> 00:40:57,600
Speaker 1: you're successful, then that's my mom that you can show

662
00:40:57,600 --> 00:41:02,759
Speaker 1: your ad. So not my hand, but what I'm doing

663
00:41:03,160 --> 00:41:05,920
Speaker 1: I'm comfortable enough, and I know that I have a platform,

664
00:41:05,960 --> 00:41:08,560
Speaker 1: and I'm in a position where I can speak with authority.

665
00:41:09,360 --> 00:41:13,240
Speaker 1: You understand what I'm saying, and I and I represent

666
00:41:13,360 --> 00:41:17,479
Speaker 1: my people. And as you said so eloquently, that people

667
00:41:17,520 --> 00:41:20,320
Speaker 1: are speaking about race and racism and they had no

668
00:41:20,440 --> 00:41:24,720
Speaker 1: idea what it is. People are becoming more offended about

669
00:41:24,760 --> 00:41:27,879
Speaker 1: the possibility of someone thinking they may have a racial

670
00:41:27,920 --> 00:41:30,400
Speaker 1: blind spot of their racist or their bias than the

671
00:41:30,520 --> 00:41:34,160
Speaker 1: actual act itself. And what does that say? That says

672
00:41:34,200 --> 00:41:37,520
Speaker 1: you're entitled, That says that you have a privileged where

673
00:41:37,560 --> 00:41:40,520
Speaker 1: you can think, I don't want anybody to call me racist,

674
00:41:40,719 --> 00:41:42,840
Speaker 1: and therefore that I don't want anybody to call me

675
00:41:43,080 --> 00:41:47,040
Speaker 1: racist supersede the actual racism, and then you make it

676
00:41:47,120 --> 00:41:52,160
Speaker 1: all about you and you're grieving. So that so we're

677
00:41:52,280 --> 00:41:59,879
Speaker 1: talking about the talk right now, Yes, because we talk

678
00:42:00,080 --> 00:42:03,719
Speaker 1: to each other via text about this of how we

679
00:42:03,840 --> 00:42:08,280
Speaker 1: really felt. Now the radio version and the CNN version

680
00:42:08,360 --> 00:42:11,960
Speaker 1: of how we really feel is we're going to share

681
00:42:12,040 --> 00:42:15,560
Speaker 1: that with you now. When you saw what transpired on

682
00:42:15,719 --> 00:42:22,839
Speaker 1: the talk, what were your initial thoughts? My initial thoughts was, Wow,

683
00:42:23,239 --> 00:42:26,400
Speaker 1: there's going to be repercussions and ramifications for this that

684
00:42:27,000 --> 00:42:29,799
Speaker 1: beyond what people are thinking right now, and nobody knew.

685
00:42:29,800 --> 00:42:33,279
Speaker 1: And if you've ever worked in the world of television,

686
00:42:33,360 --> 00:42:35,760
Speaker 1: where you are when you get to share your opinion,

687
00:42:35,800 --> 00:42:40,080
Speaker 1: there's a difference between sharing your opinion and insulting someone

688
00:42:40,160 --> 00:42:47,480
Speaker 1: you work with and calling someone really outside of their

689
00:42:47,560 --> 00:42:49,719
Speaker 1: name without even saying it. So here's what I thought.

690
00:42:50,880 --> 00:42:54,480
Speaker 1: The nerve to tell someone when to cry and when

691
00:42:54,560 --> 00:42:58,319
Speaker 1: to not. Yes, that's entitlement. That's privilege. You don't get

692
00:42:58,400 --> 00:43:01,279
Speaker 1: to do that. The nerve for you to make it

693
00:43:01,440 --> 00:43:04,280
Speaker 1: all about you. It's not about you, it's the actual

694
00:43:04,360 --> 00:43:08,880
Speaker 1: act of racism. That's entitlement. That's privilege. The nerve of

695
00:43:09,080 --> 00:43:12,160
Speaker 1: you to sit there next to a black woman who's

696
00:43:12,239 --> 00:43:15,799
Speaker 1: talking to you about racism and discrimination and you try

697
00:43:15,840 --> 00:43:18,319
Speaker 1: to define the moments for her and what it means

698
00:43:18,400 --> 00:43:20,919
Speaker 1: to her. The nerve and then for you to say,

699
00:43:21,080 --> 00:43:23,680
Speaker 1: I am not racist. How the hell can I be racist?

700
00:43:23,719 --> 00:43:26,239
Speaker 1: And they beat that because I'm an effing whatever, you

701
00:43:26,320 --> 00:43:29,680
Speaker 1: know what she said. The nerve of you to sit

702
00:43:29,719 --> 00:43:32,200
Speaker 1: there in your entitlement, in your privilege, and be more

703
00:43:32,320 --> 00:43:36,279
Speaker 1: uncomfortable and more aggrieved about someone actually thinking you're having

704
00:43:36,320 --> 00:43:38,560
Speaker 1: a racial blind spot and you are sitting there on

705
00:43:38,719 --> 00:43:42,040
Speaker 1: national television and proving the point that you do come

706
00:43:46,840 --> 00:43:55,840
Speaker 1: so much more eloquent and is really imagine if that

707
00:43:56,080 --> 00:43:58,040
Speaker 1: was Sheryl Steve, I'm sorry, I don't mean, I know

708
00:43:58,080 --> 00:43:59,799
Speaker 1: it's your show. Can you imagine if that was Cheryl?

709
00:44:00,080 --> 00:44:02,359
Speaker 1: Sure would not have laughted through the commercial break if

710
00:44:02,400 --> 00:44:07,800
Speaker 1: she did that as the black woman on Bro. You

711
00:44:08,120 --> 00:44:10,640
Speaker 1: you ain't never lied. Listen, hang on, Don, We got

Speaker 1: gods is under this much stare. Look, I'm telling you,

740
00:45:58,160 --> 00:46:01,160
Speaker 1: I'm keeping family feud on the air. My TV stays

00:46:01,320 --> 00:46:05,279
Speaker 1: on the fans. I'm like, oh, that was season that. No,

743
00:46:07,600 --> 00:46:10,040
Speaker 1: is a modern season right here. Yeah, I've seen this

744
00:46:10,160 --> 00:46:15,759
Speaker 1: family before. Yeah, anyway, all right, Yeah, you're watching the

745
00:46:15,840 --> 00:46:20,279
Speaker 1: evolution of Steve Harvey's wardrobe. I looked back at the

746
00:46:20,400 --> 00:46:25,840
Speaker 1: first season. I go, sus was pretty big. Hey, listen,

747
00:46:27,520 --> 00:46:32,360
Speaker 1: we were talking about the Sheryl Underwood incident on on

748
00:46:32,520 --> 00:46:36,399
Speaker 1: the Talk. The thing that Uh and we both talked

749
00:46:36,440 --> 00:46:40,080
Speaker 1: about this dog was how Sheryl handle it was was

750
00:46:40,360 --> 00:46:44,560
Speaker 1: sheer grace and like you said in your text to me,

751
00:46:44,719 --> 00:46:49,040
Speaker 1: she handled it like a queen. I was really disturbed

752
00:46:49,400 --> 00:46:52,600
Speaker 1: because I don't like it when people become a victim.

753
00:46:53,840 --> 00:46:57,720
Speaker 1: I'm the one that should be crying. Why why why

754
00:46:57,760 --> 00:46:59,960
Speaker 1: should you be crying? First of all, this ain't about you,

755
00:47:00,160 --> 00:47:02,920
Speaker 1: just about podcasts, Pierce Mellisson. Now we'd have said this now,

756
00:47:03,280 --> 00:47:06,200
Speaker 1: I said this over and over, this about piss market.

757
00:47:06,480 --> 00:47:09,720
Speaker 1: This ain't about nobody else. This is what he said.

758
00:47:10,680 --> 00:47:14,320
Speaker 1: And you know what amazes me about this whole situation,

759
00:47:14,480 --> 00:47:19,799
Speaker 1: don If Megan Markle was not black, we're not even

760
00:47:19,920 --> 00:47:23,240
Speaker 1: having this discussion at all about the baby or nothing.

761
00:47:23,840 --> 00:47:28,560
Speaker 1: The only reason we're having this discussion is because this

762
00:47:28,760 --> 00:47:33,160
Speaker 1: woman is black. This is it, now, How to have

763
00:47:33,440 --> 00:47:39,960
Speaker 1: that ain't racist? It's the only factor involved him. Well,

764
00:47:39,960 --> 00:47:42,799
Speaker 1: and it's also because you're doubting somebody else's story, Steve,

765
00:47:42,880 --> 00:47:45,880
Speaker 1: That's what it's about doubting someone else's story. Now, I

766
00:47:46,000 --> 00:47:48,600
Speaker 1: always I hate to make this comparison, but it's a real,

767
00:47:48,800 --> 00:47:51,839
Speaker 1: true comparison of that. Think it's fair anytime if someone

768
00:47:51,960 --> 00:47:55,080
Speaker 1: says that someone felt uncomfortable in the workplace because I

769
00:47:55,280 --> 00:47:58,359
Speaker 1: was a woman, that this man the first What are

770
00:47:58,400 --> 00:48:01,399
Speaker 1: people's reactions. It's always, oh my gosh, we should listen

771
00:48:01,440 --> 00:48:04,560
Speaker 1: to this, let's figure out understand how these individuals feel.

772
00:48:04,800 --> 00:48:07,120
Speaker 1: Blah blah blah blah blah. But for some reason, when

773
00:48:07,200 --> 00:48:12,200
Speaker 1: it's racism, there's always a different reaction and a doubt. Well,

774
00:48:12,480 --> 00:48:14,839
Speaker 1: I can't believe that that would happen, and of course

775
00:48:14,920 --> 00:48:16,920
Speaker 1: this person can't be that, and I can't be that

776
00:48:17,080 --> 00:48:20,000
Speaker 1: way because I've lived on this earth this many years

777
00:48:20,040 --> 00:48:22,120
Speaker 1: and I've never no one has ever called me that. Well,

778
00:48:22,160 --> 00:48:23,600
Speaker 1: maybe you've never had to deal with it. That's what

779
00:48:23,719 --> 00:48:26,960
Speaker 1: privilege is. If you have never had to deal with something, right,

780
00:48:28,320 --> 00:48:31,600
Speaker 1: then it does not exist for you. That is why

781
00:48:32,680 --> 00:48:35,920
Speaker 1: that's why the term privilege came about, because you have

782
00:48:36,120 --> 00:48:39,040
Speaker 1: the privilege of not having to think about it or

783
00:48:39,120 --> 00:48:42,520
Speaker 1: worry about it because it doesn't exist for you. It

784
00:48:42,680 --> 00:48:46,720
Speaker 1: doesn't happen to you. So I think that we should

785
00:48:47,080 --> 00:48:49,520
Speaker 1: the way that we I always say when we have

786
00:48:49,600 --> 00:48:53,360
Speaker 1: these allegations of impropriety in the workplace that we should

787
00:48:53,400 --> 00:48:57,200
Speaker 1: take everyone seriously and it should be investigated. The same

788
00:48:57,320 --> 00:49:00,800
Speaker 1: thing for issues of race. So as much as women

789
00:49:01,120 --> 00:49:04,040
Speaker 1: have had their meed to moments, it's time for black

790
00:49:04,120 --> 00:49:08,920
Speaker 1: folks to have our us two moments, because discrimination in

791
00:49:09,000 --> 00:49:12,960
Speaker 1: the workplace can be just as detrimental as harassment in

792
00:49:13,000 --> 00:49:16,960
Speaker 1: the workplace, especially if you have something that that hands

793
00:49:17,000 --> 00:49:18,879
Speaker 1: out in the workplace, maybe you and the boss get along.

794
00:49:18,920 --> 00:49:20,319
Speaker 1: I don't know. I'm not going to try to govern

795
00:49:20,480 --> 00:49:23,480
Speaker 1: human behaviors, but racism never works out for any of

796
00:49:23,600 --> 00:49:27,640
Speaker 1: the victims. Ever. You don't get a job because your

797
00:49:27,680 --> 00:49:30,399
Speaker 1: boss is racist. You don't get a promotion because your

798
00:49:30,440 --> 00:49:34,160
Speaker 1: boss is racist. What it causes you is to It

799
00:49:34,360 --> 00:49:37,759
Speaker 1: causes paranoia, causes you to doubt yourself. It causes you

800
00:49:37,920 --> 00:49:41,840
Speaker 1: to have make less money to provide for your family,

801
00:49:41,960 --> 00:49:44,759
Speaker 1: less to move around to different jobs instead of staying

802
00:49:44,800 --> 00:49:46,839
Speaker 1: at the same job because you're trying to promote. There

803
00:49:46,880 --> 00:49:50,520
Speaker 1: are so many things that aspects about discrimination that black

804
00:49:50,600 --> 00:49:53,600
Speaker 1: people and marginalize people and people of color feel that

805
00:49:53,760 --> 00:49:56,040
Speaker 1: happens to them in the workplace. That have not been explored.

806
00:49:56,280 --> 00:49:59,080
Speaker 1: So I say it's time now for a hashtag us

807
00:49:59,360 --> 00:50:03,359
Speaker 1: to moment for black people when it comes to workplace discrimination.

808
00:50:03,719 --> 00:50:07,799
Speaker 1: And I think that's sure. Underwood is helping to us

809
00:50:07,800 --> 00:50:10,239
Speaker 1: show that in and let's pray and stand behind her,

810
00:50:10,280 --> 00:50:15,520
Speaker 1: and I hope that she does. Wow, that TV show

811
00:50:16,120 --> 00:50:22,120
Speaker 1: that he's good. She thought God had her on a

812
00:50:22,200 --> 00:50:25,040
Speaker 1: bigger mission, So this could be it. You know, yeah,

813
00:50:27,719 --> 00:50:30,640
Speaker 1: I think you know the name of the book. Everybody

814
00:50:30,760 --> 00:50:33,800
Speaker 1: is this is the fire. I mean, we are in

815
00:50:33,920 --> 00:50:37,680
Speaker 1: it right now. We are in the fire. And this

816
00:50:37,920 --> 00:50:41,360
Speaker 1: is a great time for us because since the civil

817
00:50:41,440 --> 00:50:44,440
Speaker 1: rights movement, I haven't seen anything like I've seen over

818
00:50:44,520 --> 00:50:47,120
Speaker 1: the past year and a half. I just haven't seen

819
00:50:47,200 --> 00:50:51,239
Speaker 1: it in my life. I'm sixty photo suppression, Oh, insurrection

820
00:50:51,320 --> 00:50:58,719
Speaker 1: on the Capitol? Who's trying to overturn an election? Why

821
00:50:59,200 --> 00:51:04,160
Speaker 1: is it that the Republican Senate who know that this

822
00:51:04,400 --> 00:51:08,480
Speaker 1: man has lied about this election being stolen? What do

823
00:51:08,680 --> 00:51:12,600
Speaker 1: you think is the reason why they won't just call

824
00:51:12,719 --> 00:51:16,480
Speaker 1: it the way it is? Are they that afraid of him?

825
00:51:16,680 --> 00:51:20,920
Speaker 1: What is it? Oh? Okay? So I wish I had

826
00:51:21,040 --> 00:51:24,680
Speaker 1: the direct quote, but the quote that James Bolland says

827
00:51:24,800 --> 00:51:29,480
Speaker 1: is that it doesn't It doesn't require that anyone has

828
00:51:29,520 --> 00:51:31,440
Speaker 1: to be evil. What it requires is that you have

829
00:51:31,600 --> 00:51:36,279
Speaker 1: to be spineless. And they are spineless, is what it is.

830
00:51:36,360 --> 00:51:39,040
Speaker 1: They're afraid to stand up to him number one, because

831
00:51:39,040 --> 00:51:40,799
Speaker 1: they're afraid of him, but not so much as they're

832
00:51:40,800 --> 00:51:43,960
Speaker 1: afraid of him as they're afraid of losing power. People

833
00:51:44,080 --> 00:51:48,680
Speaker 1: are intoxicated with power, and what else are they going

834
00:51:48,760 --> 00:51:51,960
Speaker 1: to do. What they're doing is exploiting the division in

835
00:51:52,040 --> 00:51:55,680
Speaker 1: this country among the racists and politically, and they know

836
00:51:55,840 --> 00:51:58,320
Speaker 1: that they're doing it. And so Trump it was just

837
00:51:58,480 --> 00:52:00,759
Speaker 1: the one that came along and allow them to be

838
00:52:00,840 --> 00:52:02,800
Speaker 1: able to do this, so now they can do it

839
00:52:02,920 --> 00:52:06,719
Speaker 1: with impunity. So he is as I say in the book,

840
00:52:06,719 --> 00:52:10,000
Speaker 1: and see if I say it, it burns my tongue

841
00:52:10,040 --> 00:52:13,160
Speaker 1: to say this, but Donald Trump was probably the president

842
00:52:13,280 --> 00:52:15,680
Speaker 1: we deserved. I know who's the president we deserve because

843
00:52:15,920 --> 00:52:20,640
Speaker 1: you know we didn't, we weren't paying attention, but probably

844
00:52:20,680 --> 00:52:23,160
Speaker 1: the one we needed. And I hate to say that,

845
00:52:23,520 --> 00:52:26,279
Speaker 1: but he exposed the racist in our society and the

846
00:52:26,400 --> 00:52:29,640
Speaker 1: racism because we were living in this and this mindset

847
00:52:29,719 --> 00:52:31,800
Speaker 1: that oh everything is okay and it's okay. Yeah, we

848
00:52:31,920 --> 00:52:34,319
Speaker 1: have racism, so we can deal with it. And then

849
00:52:34,360 --> 00:52:38,799
Speaker 1: there were people amongst us. Yes we didn't know, Yeah

850
00:52:38,920 --> 00:52:42,319
Speaker 1: we didn't see. And now we know and we see

851
00:52:43,800 --> 00:52:47,160
Speaker 1: and now we can deal with all of it. Thank

852
00:52:47,239 --> 00:52:50,799
Speaker 1: you for taking me into the doctor's office to diagnose

853
00:52:50,920 --> 00:52:54,560
Speaker 1: my cancer. And now I could either have it excite

854
00:52:55,680 --> 00:52:59,120
Speaker 1: or I can have the treatment that's going to take

855
00:52:59,200 --> 00:53:01,120
Speaker 1: care of that cancer. And that's what we need to

856
00:53:01,200 --> 00:53:04,200
Speaker 1: do right now. That's why this is the fire. Wow,

877
00:54:18,160 --> 00:54:22,839
Speaker 1: Growberry Letter all right. Subject the Bartender's Big Tip. Dear

878
00:54:22,920 --> 00:54:26,080
Speaker 1: Stephen Shirley. I've been married for twelve years, and my

879
00:54:26,200 --> 00:54:28,480
Speaker 1: husband and I are in our mid thirties and our

880
00:54:28,800 --> 00:54:32,399
Speaker 1: regulars at a local bar by our house. We've met

881
00:54:32,600 --> 00:54:34,600
Speaker 1: most We've met a lot of great people at this

882
00:54:34,800 --> 00:54:38,480
Speaker 1: bar and look forward to seeing them weekly for karaoke night.

883
00:54:38,920 --> 00:54:41,520
Speaker 1: I like the sense of community we have there, and

884
00:54:41,719 --> 00:54:44,600
Speaker 1: we can hang out with the other couples we've befriended.

885
00:54:45,200 --> 00:54:48,880
Speaker 1: Everything was fine until recently when I found out that

886
00:54:49,080 --> 00:54:52,839
Speaker 1: my husband has been sleeping with the twenty two year

887
00:54:52,880 --> 00:54:58,160
Speaker 1: old bartender that always serves us. I was devastated and

888
00:54:58,400 --> 00:55:01,719
Speaker 1: I couldn't believe it because when we would go there,

889
00:55:01,960 --> 00:55:05,040
Speaker 1: she's always serving us with a smile, and she's such

890
00:55:05,120 --> 00:55:09,120
Speaker 1: a sweet girl. I never thought about the large tip

891
00:55:09,239 --> 00:55:12,439
Speaker 1: my husband left for her weekly. We believe in giving

892
00:55:12,520 --> 00:55:15,280
Speaker 1: money for great service, and she was giving him really,

893
00:55:15,840 --> 00:55:19,120
Speaker 1: really good service behind my back. The thought of her

894
00:55:19,200 --> 00:55:23,560
Speaker 1: having my husband's tiny little private part to herself has

895
00:55:23,640 --> 00:55:26,960
Speaker 1: hurt me to no end. She told me that my

896
00:55:27,120 --> 00:55:30,160
Speaker 1: husband has given her money for college, helped her with

897
00:55:30,320 --> 00:55:33,719
Speaker 1: bills at times, and keeps her hair and nails done.

898
00:55:34,080 --> 00:55:36,560
Speaker 1: She told me that she's been to my house, which

899
00:55:36,680 --> 00:55:39,839
Speaker 1: is conveniently around the corner from the bar. We dealt

900
00:55:39,880 --> 00:55:43,560
Speaker 1: with it in house, and argued and cried. He stopped.

901
00:55:43,920 --> 00:55:47,400
Speaker 1: He begged me for forgiveness, and he promised that he

902
00:55:47,520 --> 00:55:50,120
Speaker 1: was going to stop seeing her. The problem is he's

903
00:55:50,160 --> 00:55:52,920
Speaker 1: still going to the bar once a week for karaoke night,

904
00:55:53,160 --> 00:55:55,759
Speaker 1: and even though he sits in another section now, she

905
00:55:55,960 --> 00:55:59,799
Speaker 1: still works there. I miss having fun with our regular crew,

906
00:56:00,000 --> 00:56:01,640
Speaker 1: and I want to go back at some point, but

907
00:56:01,800 --> 00:56:04,960
Speaker 1: I'm not there mentally. I'm still monitoring his phone and

908
00:56:05,040 --> 00:56:07,440
Speaker 1: his whereabouts. And he said it's getting old and I

909
00:56:07,520 --> 00:56:11,440
Speaker 1: need to trust him. How do I ever trust him again?

910
00:56:12,960 --> 00:56:16,000
Speaker 1: I don't know on this one. First of all, I

911
00:56:16,160 --> 00:56:19,239
Speaker 1: gotta say I'm really sorry. That's happened to you. It

912
00:56:19,440 --> 00:56:22,960
Speaker 1: is nothing worse than someone laughing and cheese and all

913
00:56:23,040 --> 00:56:25,120
Speaker 1: up in your face and everything while they're sleeping with

914
00:56:25,239 --> 00:56:28,399
Speaker 1: your husband behind your back. And because of that, that's

915
00:56:28,680 --> 00:56:31,080
Speaker 1: why the trust is darned near and possible to get

916
00:56:31,160 --> 00:56:34,200
Speaker 1: back if at all. I mean, I don't think I could,

917
00:56:34,320 --> 00:56:37,160
Speaker 1: because of who it is and how it was done,

918
00:56:37,480 --> 00:56:39,399
Speaker 1: and the fact that he's had her all in your house,

919
00:56:39,560 --> 00:56:41,600
Speaker 1: probably in your bed, and all of that. Come on

920
00:56:41,800 --> 00:56:45,200
Speaker 1: now and excuse me. Did your husband have the nerve

921
00:56:46,520 --> 00:56:49,880
Speaker 1: to tell you to stop going through his phone and

922
00:56:50,239 --> 00:56:52,759
Speaker 1: checking his whereabouts? Did he have the nerve to say

923
00:56:52,840 --> 00:56:57,320
Speaker 1: that was getting old and that you need to trust him? Really, dude,

924
00:56:58,680 --> 00:57:00,719
Speaker 1: I don't know how you came, and I just don't

925
00:57:00,760 --> 00:57:03,959
Speaker 1: know how you can. He's right back at the scene

926
00:57:04,000 --> 00:57:07,120
Speaker 1: of the crime, and the girl still works there. This

927
00:57:07,360 --> 00:57:12,040
Speaker 1: is compounding the situation, the trouble that he's in. He's

928
00:57:12,160 --> 00:57:16,720
Speaker 1: back there already. How can you trust that? I mean,

929
00:57:17,560 --> 00:57:21,280
Speaker 1: that's how it happened in the first place. So who

930
00:57:21,400 --> 00:57:23,960
Speaker 1: cares that he's in a different section. What does that

931
00:57:24,160 --> 00:57:27,160
Speaker 1: even matter? Why is that even in this letter, I

932
00:57:27,200 --> 00:57:30,080
Speaker 1: wouldn't trust him as far as I could throw him period.

933
00:57:30,400 --> 00:57:33,320
Speaker 1: He's done nothing to try and win back your trust. Okay,

934
00:57:33,400 --> 00:57:36,320
Speaker 1: so you guys cried and argued and all of that.

935
00:57:36,800 --> 00:57:39,720
Speaker 1: Come on, he doesn't even have sense enough just to start.

936
00:57:39,920 --> 00:57:43,000
Speaker 1: Stop going back to the bar. You know he could

937
00:57:43,040 --> 00:57:45,680
Speaker 1: have started there. This is crazy. I don't know if

938
00:57:45,680 --> 00:57:48,000
Speaker 1: you'll ever trust him again. I know you want to

939
00:57:48,120 --> 00:57:50,160
Speaker 1: and you want to go back there, but how can

940
00:57:50,200 --> 00:57:52,680
Speaker 1: you ever trust him with all of this going on? Steve?

941
00:57:54,040 --> 00:57:58,240
Speaker 1: You know, fellas, I know y'all think, man that I

942
00:57:58,360 --> 00:58:00,400
Speaker 1: side up with women a lot of time times, but

943
00:58:00,560 --> 00:58:03,840
Speaker 1: I just come from the true standpoint of it. I

944
00:58:04,000 --> 00:58:07,920
Speaker 1: just don't like it when men do stuff that's stupid,

945
00:58:08,640 --> 00:58:11,120
Speaker 1: and then the rest of us have to baar the

946
00:58:11,320 --> 00:58:15,960
Speaker 1: brunt because of your mistake. A lot of us get

947
00:58:16,120 --> 00:58:20,760
Speaker 1: distrusted because you stupid. You know, a lot of us

948
00:58:20,880 --> 00:58:24,280
Speaker 1: can't get past we deal with women with baggage because

949
00:58:24,320 --> 00:58:28,040
Speaker 1: you gave them the baggage. And now here we go again.

950
00:58:28,320 --> 00:58:32,479
Speaker 1: I'm just this thirty, this couple been married for twelve years.

951
00:58:33,520 --> 00:58:35,880
Speaker 1: Y'all in your mid thirties. Your regulars at a local

952
00:58:35,960 --> 00:58:38,680
Speaker 1: bar by our house. It meant a lot of great

953
00:58:38,720 --> 00:58:43,080
Speaker 1: people go there. You saying, carryoker, You meet people, hang

954
00:58:43,120 --> 00:58:46,920
Speaker 1: out with other couples. Everything was fine, and too recently

955
00:58:47,400 --> 00:58:50,480
Speaker 1: you found out that your husband had been sleeping with

956
00:58:50,600 --> 00:58:53,919
Speaker 1: a twenty two year old bar tender that always serves y'all.

957
00:58:54,560 --> 00:58:57,080
Speaker 1: This lady said. I was devastated. I couldn't believe it

958
00:58:57,480 --> 00:58:59,760
Speaker 1: because when we would go there, she's always serving us

959
00:58:59,800 --> 00:59:02,560
Speaker 1: with a smile, and she's such a sweet girl. Well,

960
00:59:02,680 --> 00:59:14,040
Speaker 1: it's very sweet, sweet as hell, sweet hay, So you

961
00:59:14,200 --> 00:59:16,760
Speaker 1: never thought about the large tip your husband left for

962
00:59:16,840 --> 00:59:20,360
Speaker 1: her weekly. We believe in giving money for great service,

963
00:59:20,440 --> 00:59:23,200
Speaker 1: and she was giving him really, really good service behind

964
00:59:23,280 --> 00:59:27,880
Speaker 1: your back. The thought of her having my husband's tiny

965
00:59:27,960 --> 00:59:31,600
Speaker 1: little private part to herself has hurt me to no end.

966
00:59:32,320 --> 00:59:36,120
Speaker 1: And you decided to get him back by telling everybody

967
00:59:36,240 --> 00:59:41,320
Speaker 1: he got a very tiny little private part him. So, well,

968
00:59:41,440 --> 00:59:44,360
Speaker 1: you just hurt him back. I guess he had that

969
00:59:44,520 --> 00:59:48,200
Speaker 1: coming though. She told me, Now this is why I

970
00:59:48,200 --> 00:59:50,960
Speaker 1: don't know hunting here. We doesn't help. She told me

971
00:59:51,160 --> 00:59:54,640
Speaker 1: my husband has given her money for college, helped her

972
00:59:54,680 --> 01:00:00,280
Speaker 1: with bills, keeps her hair and nails done. She told

973
01:00:00,320 --> 01:00:03,640
Speaker 1: me that she hadn't been to my house, which is

974
01:00:03,680 --> 01:00:07,160
Speaker 1: around the corner from the bar. Now we dealt with

975
01:00:07,280 --> 01:00:12,160
Speaker 1: it in the house and aging and cried. Now who cried?

976
01:00:12,440 --> 01:00:15,440
Speaker 1: Was he cried? Because this sound like shan going right now,

977
01:00:16,440 --> 01:00:23,560
Speaker 1: turn yourself. Why is his ass crying? It's terrible. I'm

978
01:00:25,320 --> 01:00:30,920
Speaker 1: don't I'm confused. How did she tell you all this?

979
01:00:31,120 --> 01:00:33,720
Speaker 1: When we come back, I'm gonna tell you what I think.

980
01:00:36,720 --> 01:00:40,720
Speaker 1: I right, Steve, Thank you. We'll have parts coming up

984
01:00:52,120 --> 01:00:58,040
Speaker 1: today's Strawberry Letters. Subject the Bartender's Big Tip. Yeah, couple

985
01:00:58,560 --> 01:01:01,720
Speaker 1: been married twelve years in the mid thirties, been going

986
01:01:01,800 --> 01:01:04,440
Speaker 1: to a local bar for carryoke and everything. Got friends

987
01:01:04,520 --> 01:01:06,920
Speaker 1: down there having a good time until she found out

988
01:01:06,960 --> 01:01:09,160
Speaker 1: that the husbands were sleeping with the twenty two year

989
01:01:09,200 --> 01:01:14,840
Speaker 1: old bartender. Never suspected anything because the girl is really

990
01:01:14,920 --> 01:01:19,240
Speaker 1: really sweet, and she's super sweet to your husband because

991
01:01:19,240 --> 01:01:22,000
Speaker 1: he leaves a big tip. Now, we want to make

992
01:01:22,080 --> 01:01:24,720
Speaker 1: sure that we got this right. We did say big

993
01:01:24,920 --> 01:01:29,480
Speaker 1: tip because we couldn't have mistaken it for anything, because

994
01:01:29,600 --> 01:01:32,960
Speaker 1: you said the thought of her having my husband's tiny

995
01:01:33,040 --> 01:01:36,560
Speaker 1: little private part to herself. Has hurt me to no end,

996
01:01:36,640 --> 01:01:39,440
Speaker 1: which gets us back to all he had to do.

997
01:01:39,880 --> 01:01:44,560
Speaker 1: All he had was big tips. See, when you got

998
01:01:44,600 --> 01:01:48,439
Speaker 1: a little small, tiny private parts, you got to tip big.

999

Speaker 1: You got to have big tips. Of course, you ain't

1000
01:01:54,040 --> 01:01:57,720
Speaker 1: got nothing else. You got to pay for college because

1001
01:01:57,840 --> 01:02:00,400
Speaker 1: you ain't doing nothing. Now you got to get your

01:02:00,440 --> 01:02:03,040
Speaker 1: head done and nails done and all this because ain't

01:02:03,160 --> 01:02:06,959
Speaker 1: nothing else happening. You got to have a big til

1004
01:02:09,680 --> 01:02:11,560
Speaker 1: because your wife got hit in the letter that you

1005
01:02:11,680 --> 01:02:17,560
Speaker 1: got the little bitty private part. Damn. Now everybody down

Speaker 1: at the ball listening to this letter, No, it's you

1007
01:02:23,120 --> 01:02:25,040
Speaker 1: all right. Now, here's a part that threw me a

1008
01:02:25,120 --> 01:02:28,280
Speaker 1: little bit. She told me, women, this woman who wrote

1009
01:02:28,280 --> 01:02:30,520
Speaker 1: the letter, say that. The girl told her that my

1010
01:02:30,720 --> 01:02:32,640
Speaker 1: husband has given her money for college, helped her with

1011
01:02:32,720 --> 01:02:34,800
Speaker 1: bills a time, keeps her hand nails DOWNE told me

1012
01:02:34,880 --> 01:02:37,080
Speaker 1: she'd been to my house, which is conveniently around the

1013
01:02:37,120 --> 01:02:40,040
Speaker 1: corner from bar. How did that conversation come about? Who?

1014
01:02:42,560 --> 01:02:44,320
Speaker 1: She went out there and approached the girl, and the

1015
01:02:44,360 --> 01:02:46,160
Speaker 1: girl said, yeah, he do this, he do that, he

1016
01:02:46,280 --> 01:02:50,960
Speaker 1: do that. The see dude got them young girls. She

1017
01:02:51,120 --> 01:02:57,080
Speaker 1: all on Instagram, posting her nails all in the story.

1018
01:02:58,120 --> 01:03:00,560
Speaker 1: In the story, yeah, every time you go down there,

1019
01:03:00,600 --> 01:03:07,040
Speaker 1: get a bag or something. She posted. Now we dealt

1020
01:03:07,080 --> 01:03:09,480
Speaker 1: with it in the house, augur and cried. He begged

1021
01:03:09,560 --> 01:03:12,360
Speaker 1: me for forgiveness, and he promised he was gonna stop

1022
01:03:12,480 --> 01:03:15,960
Speaker 1: seeing her. The problem is he's still going to the

1023
01:03:16,040 --> 01:03:18,680
Speaker 1: bar once a week for karaoke night. And even though

1024
01:03:18,720 --> 01:03:21,680
Speaker 1: he sits in another section now, she still worked there.

1025
01:03:22,040 --> 01:03:24,200
Speaker 1: I miss having fun without regular crew, and I want

1026
01:03:24,200 --> 01:03:26,320
Speaker 1: to go back at some point, but I'm not there mentally.

1027
01:03:27,160 --> 01:03:29,280
Speaker 1: So let me ask you a question. He told you

1028
01:03:29,400 --> 01:03:35,320
Speaker 1: he's sitting in another section because you ain't been back

1029
01:03:35,360 --> 01:03:37,840
Speaker 1: down there, because you can't bring yourself to go back.

1030
01:03:40,880 --> 01:03:43,080
Speaker 1: But see, I would go down Now, I go down there,

1031
01:03:43,080 --> 01:03:44,800
Speaker 1: I'd have myself a good time because you know what

1032
01:03:44,880 --> 01:03:47,920
Speaker 1: I do. Well, I don't want to say that because

1033
01:03:47,920 --> 01:03:56,000
Speaker 1: she don't say it. Well, I ain't gonna go down there,

Speaker 1: But Steve, what Why is the husband still going down there? Why?

1047
01:04:45,320 --> 01:04:48,240

01:04:48,480 --> 01:04:50,360
Speaker 1: last thing I'm gonna do is go back down. I

1049
01:04:50,440 --> 01:04:53,680
Speaker 1: ain't that good. Do you have to be able to

1050
01:04:53,720 --> 01:04:56,560
Speaker 1: stay away from her? Ain't no man that's strong. Y'all

Speaker 1: of his straw everytime she goes back. What are you doing?

01:05:13,480 --> 01:05:16,200
Speaker 1: You know he's sitting where he can see her. Come on,

Speaker 1: you got for us today? Please surely, okay, we have

1089
01:07:19,320 --> 01:07:21,160
Speaker 1: to deal with this story. I'm really proud of these

1090
01:07:21,240 --> 01:07:23,720
Speaker 1: girls do. But several players from the Norman High School

1091
01:07:23,720 --> 01:07:27,040
Speaker 1: girls basketball team have broken their silence about the racist

1092
01:07:27,160 --> 01:07:30,320
Speaker 1: game announcer Mark Rowand, who called them the F bomb

1093
01:07:30,400 --> 01:07:32,760
Speaker 1: and the INN word for their decision to take a

1094
01:07:32,800 --> 01:07:35,040
Speaker 1: knee during the national anthem. Take a listen to the

1095
01:07:35,120 --> 01:07:37,680
Speaker 1: young woman speaking out. I took annie the standing against

1096
01:07:37,720 --> 01:07:40,480
Speaker 1: social injustice and racism, and when I first heard the

1097
01:07:40,560 --> 01:07:42,360
Speaker 1: news that our team was called the N word, I

1098
01:07:42,480 --> 01:07:45,560
Speaker 1: was just in disbelief. And the broadcaster should be held

1099
01:07:45,560 --> 01:07:48,560
Speaker 1: accountable so something like this doesn't happen in the future.

1100
01:07:48,760 --> 01:07:51,120
Speaker 1: I'm like, so proud of all of us were standing

1101
01:07:51,200 --> 01:07:53,600
Speaker 1: up for something so big. It's bigger than all of us.

1102
01:07:53,640 --> 01:07:55,760
Speaker 1: It's bigger than a basketball game to us. And that's

1103
01:07:55,800 --> 01:07:58,760
Speaker 1: why we decided to knael, because racism is so much

1104
01:07:58,800 --> 01:08:01,000
Speaker 1: bigger than everything. We wanted to have a part in

1105
01:08:01,120 --> 01:08:07,800
Speaker 1: making a change. High school girls, well you know some

1106
01:08:08,040 --> 01:08:13,840
Speaker 1: I do support them, young sisters. Here's what Americans don't understand.

1107
01:08:14,000 --> 01:08:19,560
Speaker 1: Whose forefathers stole this country, this national anthem. It's not

1108
01:08:20,000 --> 01:08:24,320
Speaker 1: more important to us than to fight against racism. Yeah,

1109
01:08:24,680 --> 01:08:28,759
Speaker 1: and to draw attention to it. We've chosen to kneel

1110
01:08:30,120 --> 01:08:32,879
Speaker 1: during the playing of the national anthem to draw attention

1111
01:08:33,000 --> 01:08:38,599
Speaker 1: to it. That's all it is. We don't boo when

1112
01:08:38,680 --> 01:08:43,400
Speaker 1: it's playing, We don't try to sing over it. You

1113
01:08:43,520 --> 01:08:47,920
Speaker 1: can do that. But in protests that this flag does

1114
01:08:47,960 --> 01:08:52,639
Speaker 1: not represent all of us, sometimes they choose to kneel. Yeah,

1115
01:08:53,640 --> 01:08:56,960
Speaker 1: can we get your attention on that, But oh no,

1116
01:08:57,120 --> 01:09:00,519
Speaker 1: you don't want to address that. Now this food then

1117
01:09:00,600 --> 01:09:03,240
Speaker 1: call them an in word. And now he didn't blame

1118
01:09:03,320 --> 01:09:11,120
Speaker 1: that on his diabetes. He had a spike. Yeah that's disgusting. Yeah,

1119
01:09:11,200 --> 01:09:14,280

1120
01:09:14,439 --> 01:09:18,800

1121
01:09:18,840 --> 01:09:21,200
Speaker 1: that what you're saying, that's what you're blaming. That's exactly

1122
01:09:21,280 --> 01:09:25,320
Speaker 1: what he's saying. Exactly what he's saying. That's inexcusable, that

1123
01:09:25,560 --> 01:09:29,080
Speaker 1: he's a race from the beginning, and that's another insult

1124
01:09:30,120 --> 01:09:37,200
Speaker 1: exactly there. That's another. Yeah, if you're insulin go up,

1125

1228
01:17:02,560 --> 01:17:06,439
Speaker 1: Chief Love Officer, Steve Harvey. Steve, This one is from

1229
01:17:06,800 --> 01:17:09,640
Speaker 1: Dana in the Bronx. Dana says, I'm forty two and

1230
01:17:09,720 --> 01:17:11,880
Speaker 1: I just let my mother move in with me, and

1231
01:17:12,000 --> 01:17:14,960
Speaker 1: it's already a problem. She drinks a lot and has

1232
01:17:15,000 --> 01:17:17,600
Speaker 1: had men come by my house all hours of the

1233
01:17:17,720 --> 01:17:20,240
Speaker 1: night to drink with her. One of her visitors was

1234
01:17:20,320 --> 01:17:22,560
Speaker 1: coming out of my guest bathroom the other day and

1235
01:17:22,680 --> 01:17:26,120
Speaker 1: I was still in my nightgown. The guy propositioned me,

1236
01:17:26,479 --> 01:17:29,000
Speaker 1: and I was furious. I told my mother she is

1237
01:17:29,080 --> 01:17:32,280
Speaker 1: not allowed to have men in my home anymore. She said,

1238
01:17:32,320 --> 01:17:34,479
Speaker 1: I can't tell her what to do. Well, how do

1239
01:17:34,560 --> 01:17:38,000
Speaker 1: I respectfully get my mother in line while she's in

1240
01:17:38,360 --> 01:17:42,240
Speaker 1: my home? See, well, you can't tell her what to

1241
01:17:42,360 --> 01:17:46,639
Speaker 1: do in life, but you can have rules in your

1242
01:17:46,800 --> 01:17:51,840
Speaker 1: house and respect goes both ways. And you're old enough. Now,

1243
01:17:51,960 --> 01:17:55,280
Speaker 1: how does she say, two forty two? Who's forty two?

1244
01:17:55,520 --> 01:17:59,000
Speaker 1: The daughter? The daughter's forty two and she just let

1245
01:17:59,080 --> 01:18:01,800
Speaker 1: her mom move in. Well, her mama got to go

1246
01:18:01,920 --> 01:18:04,400
Speaker 1: by the rules or else, Mama, where you want to stay?

1247
01:18:05,240 --> 01:18:08,080
Speaker 1: But these men coming to me properly proposition to me

1248
01:18:08,160 --> 01:18:10,640
Speaker 1: in my own house. That's unacceptable. I can't be in

1249
01:18:10,720 --> 01:18:13,160
Speaker 1: my home and be uncomfortable. You can go out with

1250
01:18:13,280 --> 01:18:15,120
Speaker 1: me and just go meet to them at the tavern,

1251
01:18:15,160 --> 01:18:21,760
Speaker 1: because that's what they are. The tavern. Do I love tavern? Yeah?

1252
01:18:24,280 --> 01:18:32,240
Speaker 1: Where shout always have some nicem is. Yeah. Well you

1253
01:18:32,320 --> 01:18:35,120
Speaker 1: can tell she's a nice woman because she wants to

1254
01:18:35,280 --> 01:18:38,280
Speaker 1: know how to do it respectfully. Mean you have to

1255
01:18:38,479 --> 01:18:41,640
Speaker 1: establish rules. Yeah, you can't tell her what to do,

1256
01:18:42,200 --> 01:18:44,639
Speaker 1: but you can you can decide what happens in your house.

1257
01:18:44,720 --> 01:18:46,840
Speaker 1: You can't tell her not to see men, but you

1258
01:18:46,920 --> 01:18:49,960
Speaker 1: can't see them in here though. That's right. You're gonna

Speaker 1: looking sideways at her all weekend After that? Do I

1267
01:19:21,280 --> 01:19:24,920
Speaker 1: question her about being a regular at this hotel or

1268
01:19:25,040 --> 01:19:29,320
Speaker 1: do you think it will come out eventually? Well? Nah, dog,

Speaker 1: because whatever you dig up, it ain't really dirt. She

1293
01:20:55,520 --> 01:20:58,240
Speaker 1: don't even have to worry. This is not about Sheryl Underwood.

1294
01:20:59,040 --> 01:21:02,600
Speaker 1: Everybody from the top of CBS to the bottom. No,

1295
01:21:02,800 --> 01:21:05,920
Speaker 1: she handled it with nothing but grace and a queenly

1296
01:21:06,560 --> 01:21:13,320
Speaker 1: stately manner. Is to find out the backlash they're getting

1297
01:21:13,400 --> 01:21:19,040
Speaker 1: from Sharon Osborne and how they're gonna handle that. Yeah,

1298
01:21:19,280 --> 01:21:22,280
Speaker 1: so that's what the whole hiatus is for. To Tommy

1299
01:21:22,400 --> 01:21:24,479
Speaker 1: the next day, they came on an A and did

1300
01:21:24,560 --> 01:21:29,960

01:21:40,160 --> 01:21:44,160
Speaker 1: go to Sheryl's dressing room on her own and apologize.

1304
01:21:44,160 --> 01:21:48,280
Speaker 1: See that da't how this worked. You humiliate me publicly,

1305
01:21:48,960 --> 01:21:52,400
Speaker 1: but you want to apologize to me behind doors. No no, no,

1306
01:21:52,640 --> 01:21:56,280
Speaker 1: take your ass on TV like you did when you

1307
01:21:56,400 --> 01:21:58,840
Speaker 1: was dogging me and make your apology. Don't write a

1308
01:21:58,920 --> 01:22:02,439
Speaker 1: news story about me. Then the correction be on the

1309
01:22:02,600 --> 01:22:11,960
Speaker 1: end of classified. Yeah yeah, no. Hey. That leads me

1310
01:22:12,120 --> 01:22:17,040
Speaker 1: to my closing remarks today because yeah, I wanted to

1311
01:22:17,120 --> 01:22:20,960
Speaker 1: share something spiritual, what you are, or something that really

1312
01:22:21,000 --> 01:22:26,879
Speaker 1: really helped me out. Oh. I was listening to Joel Olstein.

1313
01:22:26,960 --> 01:22:30,120
Speaker 1: It's really old. But you know, since I can't go

1314
01:22:30,240 --> 01:22:34,519
Speaker 1: to church, I go online and listen to sermons and

1315
01:22:34,680 --> 01:22:37,920
Speaker 1: messages and stuff like that. That's just mine to keep

1316
01:22:38,000 --> 01:22:41,000
Speaker 1: my spiritual side just fed. I'm not saying I do

1317
01:22:41,080 --> 01:22:44,320
Speaker 1: it every day, because I don't, but it just so happened.

1318
01:22:44,400 --> 01:22:48,799
Speaker 1: The other day, I was watching a film from Joel Oldstein,

1319
01:22:48,840 --> 01:22:50,479
Speaker 1: and what I do is when I go to YouTube,

1320
01:22:50,520 --> 01:22:52,439
Speaker 1: I kind of look for the subjects that I think

1321
01:22:52,560 --> 01:22:55,640
Speaker 1: might apply to me, because I always ask God to

1322
01:22:55,680 --> 01:22:59,120
Speaker 1: show me what he wants me to learn today. And

1323
01:23:00,760 --> 01:23:03,439
Speaker 1: I don't know if this was a subject, but it

1324
01:23:03,600 --> 01:23:07,600
Speaker 1: was something to the effect of controlling your atmosphere. And

1325
01:23:07,720 --> 01:23:10,479
Speaker 1: I said, Okay, that's something I might need, and I'll

1326
01:23:10,520 --> 01:23:12,679
Speaker 1: be dog gone if it wasn't true. And I show

1327
01:23:12,800 --> 01:23:14,639
Speaker 1: needed it and I wanted to give it to you today.

1328
01:23:15,840 --> 01:23:17,800
Speaker 1: You know, there's a lot going on in this world

1329
01:23:17,840 --> 01:23:20,639
Speaker 1: today that you cannot control. You can't control the news.

1330
01:23:21,120 --> 01:23:25,000
Speaker 1: You can't control what people say, what people do, how

1331
01:23:25,080 --> 01:23:30,800
Speaker 1: people act. You can control what you allowed to come

1332
01:23:30,960 --> 01:23:37,680
Speaker 1: into your atmosphere. Because you have absolute control over your atmosphere,

1333
01:23:38,360 --> 01:23:42,920
Speaker 1: you have control over your thoughts and your emotions. You

1334
01:23:43,080 --> 01:23:46,719
Speaker 1: can choose to be angry or you can stop being angry.

1335
01:23:47,320 --> 01:23:49,640
Speaker 1: You can be mad or you can decide to not

1336
01:23:49,840 --> 01:23:53,720
Speaker 1: be mad. You can you can decide to look at

1337
01:23:53,760 --> 01:23:58,760
Speaker 1: it positively or negatively. You can decide to listen to

1338
01:23:58,960 --> 01:24:03,120
Speaker 1: gossip and He'll say or you can decide to block

1339
01:24:03,160 --> 01:24:06,880
Speaker 1: it out. You have a say so and what you

1340
01:24:07,040 --> 01:24:10,360
Speaker 1: allow into your atmosphere. He told the story about a

1341
01:24:10,439 --> 01:24:13,160
Speaker 1: man who was listening to talk radio every day before

1342
01:24:13,200 --> 01:24:15,360
Speaker 1: he went to work, and he would get into some

1343
01:24:15,560 --> 01:24:18,360
Speaker 1: spirited arguments, and he would be in his car just

1344
01:24:18,640 --> 01:24:21,360
Speaker 1: arguing his point with this talk radio show, not that

1345
01:24:21,479 --> 01:24:24,080
Speaker 1: he was calling in, just getting mad at people's viewpoint,

1346
01:24:24,320 --> 01:24:26,360
Speaker 1: to the point where he came to work every day

1347
01:24:26,560 --> 01:24:28,920
Speaker 1: and he was in a bad attitude and people at

1348
01:24:28,960 --> 01:24:31,000
Speaker 1: the job didn't want to hang around him, didn't want

1349
01:24:31,000 --> 01:24:32,760
Speaker 1: to talk to him at lunch because he kept bringing

1350
01:24:32,840 --> 01:24:35,200
Speaker 1: up all these controversial topics that he had heard on

1351
01:24:35,320 --> 01:24:38,000
Speaker 1: talk radio and he wanted to voice his opinion, and

1352
01:24:38,120 --> 01:24:40,760
Speaker 1: people stopped hanging around him. And then one day he

1353
01:24:40,920 --> 01:24:43,080
Speaker 1: was looking for the talk radio on series and he

1354
01:24:43,200 --> 01:24:46,120
Speaker 1: messed around and he stumbled across Joel Oldstein and he

1355
01:24:46,200 --> 01:24:49,759
Speaker 1: started listening. And so then the next morning he listened again,

1356
01:24:50,160 --> 01:24:52,840
Speaker 1: and then he just started making it a habit, and

1357
01:24:53,000 --> 01:24:55,479
Speaker 1: all of a sudden, one of his friends at the

1358
01:24:55,600 --> 01:24:58,360
Speaker 1: office asked him, Hey, man, what is it different about you?

1359
01:24:58,760 --> 01:25:01,200
Speaker 1: What are you doing? And he said, you know what,

1360
01:25:02,080 --> 01:25:07,600
Speaker 1: I stopped allowing outside interference to enter into my atmosphere,

1361
01:25:08,520 --> 01:25:12,840
Speaker 1: and it changed the way our acted, behaved, and perceived things.

1362
01:25:13,360 --> 01:25:16,120
Speaker 1: And you have the right to do that. And I'm

1363
01:25:16,200 --> 01:25:20,120
Speaker 1: saying to everybody, what are you allowing in your atmosphere?

1364
01:25:20,960 --> 01:25:25,799
Speaker 1: You don't need toxic relationships. You don't. There's no reason

1365
01:25:25,920 --> 01:25:29,120
Speaker 1: for you to allow a toxic relationship to exist in

1366
01:25:29,280 --> 01:25:33,880
Speaker 1: your life. And I don't care if they family. If

1367
01:25:33,960 --> 01:25:38,040
Speaker 1: they toxic, they toxic. There's nothing in the Bible that

1368
01:25:38,160 --> 01:25:43,000
Speaker 1: says you have to deal with toxic people. There's nothing

1369
01:25:43,080 --> 01:25:50,000
Speaker 1: that says as a Christian you have to tolerate toxic relationships.

1370
01:25:51,160 --> 01:25:54,800
Speaker 1: You have every right to remove yourself from it so

1371
01:25:55,000 --> 01:25:57,759
Speaker 1: you can make room for something else to enter into

1372
01:25:57,840 --> 01:26:00,800
Speaker 1: your atmosphere. So the more all of the story, what

1373
01:26:00,880 --> 01:26:04,360
Speaker 1: I learned is but Steve, you gotta control and to

1374
01:26:04,479 --> 01:26:08,280
Speaker 1: say so of what enters into your atmosphere. You have

1375
01:26:08,400 --> 01:26:11,400
Speaker 1: a say so in that. I don't have to deal

1376
01:26:11,479 --> 01:26:15,720
Speaker 1: with you. If you're negative, if you are naysayer, if

1377
01:26:15,760 --> 01:26:19,040
Speaker 1: you are a hater, if you spread gossip in lies,

1378
01:26:19,640 --> 01:26:22,880
Speaker 1: you can't get in my circle. I'm trying to live

1379
01:26:22,960 --> 01:26:25,400
Speaker 1: a positive life. I'm trying to do the right thing.

1380
01:26:25,640 --> 01:26:27,800
Speaker 1: I don't need you in My day's hard enough trying

1381
01:26:27,840 --> 01:26:32,640
Speaker 1: to be successful. No, I got missnectivity, mister nectivity just

1382
01:26:32,840 --> 01:26:36,680
Speaker 1: coming along in my own do that. Look, Man, control

1383
01:26:37,160 --> 01:26:41,160
Speaker 1: what you allow in your atmosphere. It will make a

1384
01:26:41,320 --> 01:26:44,599
Speaker 1: huge difference in how you function and deal in life.

1385
01:26:45,120 --> 01:26:48,000
Speaker 1: The Bible says a man is as he thinking. So

1386
01:26:48,200 --> 01:26:51,599
Speaker 1: what have you forced yourself to think about? Good or bad?

1387
01:26:52,479 --> 01:26:56,000
Speaker 1: Negative or positive? You make the decision. It's your atmosphere,

1388
01:26:56,240 --> 01:26:59,040
Speaker 1: keep it clean and going about your life. All right?

1389
