00:02:15,639 --> 00:02:17,959
Speaker 1: have to tell you about it. I can't help it.

14
00:02:18,600 --> 00:02:22,959
Speaker 1: It's rather obvious to me how big, how good God is.

15
00:02:23,320 --> 00:02:28,320
Speaker 1: He's absolutely tremendous. He's off the chain, you know, man,

16
00:02:28,680 --> 00:02:31,480
Speaker 1: I want to share something with you today. You know,

17
00:02:32,040 --> 00:02:36,720
Speaker 1: if you're out there, start your mission today, why don't

18
00:02:36,800 --> 00:02:41,600
Speaker 1: we all decide together better yet? Let's just kill that

19
00:02:41,639 --> 00:02:46,400
Speaker 1: because you don't that just individually? Look you listening, everybody's

20
00:02:46,440 --> 00:02:49,680
Speaker 1: got something that's that's on the table that they haven't

21
00:02:49,800 --> 00:02:53,280
Speaker 1: yet attacked yet. What are you waiting for start your

22
00:02:53,320 --> 00:02:58,280
Speaker 1: mission today. Stop the procrastination now. And if you and

23
00:02:58,360 --> 00:03:01,919
Speaker 1: if you allow practical man, if you allow procrastination to

24
00:03:02,080 --> 00:03:08,840
Speaker 1: set in, then that that allows then which is a weakness,

25
00:03:09,160 --> 00:03:11,040
Speaker 1: you know, but that allows the devil then to just

26
00:03:11,200 --> 00:03:14,600
Speaker 1: really do his thing, because an idle mind is the

27
00:03:14,680 --> 00:03:17,600
Speaker 1: devil's playground. So if you ain't working on your goal's dreams,

28
00:03:17,680 --> 00:03:21,120
Speaker 1: aspirations or visions, and you you just waking up seeing

29
00:03:21,160 --> 00:03:23,760
Speaker 1: how today gonna go, or the devil he got plenty

30
00:03:23,919 --> 00:03:26,440
Speaker 1: for it for you to do. See, But if you

31
00:03:26,520 --> 00:03:29,280
Speaker 1: get your mind right on your goal and your focus

32
00:03:29,400 --> 00:03:31,959
Speaker 1: and your purpose, then you can go on about your business.

33
00:03:32,040 --> 00:03:35,280
Speaker 1: Then when the distraction comes, you can catch yourself. Now,

34
00:03:35,320 --> 00:03:37,640
Speaker 1: that don't mean you ain't gonna fall privy or fall

35
00:03:37,720 --> 00:03:40,600
Speaker 1: prey to some of your distractions, because you will, but

36
00:03:41,120 --> 00:03:44,200
Speaker 1: you will have a goal in mind, an aspiration that

37
00:03:44,360 --> 00:03:46,360
Speaker 1: makes you go. Hold on, man, I got to stay

38
00:03:46,480 --> 00:03:49,280
Speaker 1: focused here because what I really want while I'm really

39
00:03:49,360 --> 00:03:52,040
Speaker 1: trying to go the thing that I'm really after, this

40
00:03:52,360 --> 00:03:56,320
Speaker 1: new little thing that's being introduced, this don't fit into

41
00:03:56,360 --> 00:03:59,720
Speaker 1: the equation. Man, Let me keep it moving. All you

42
00:03:59,760 --> 00:04:01,960
Speaker 1: may step off the line for a little while you know,

43
00:04:02,080 --> 00:04:04,760
Speaker 1: like I said yesterday, your thing about God is he's

44
00:04:04,760 --> 00:04:07,120
Speaker 1: so forgiving that if you get out of line, he'll

45
00:04:07,160 --> 00:04:09,720
Speaker 1: hold your place. See that's the real cool thing. A

46
00:04:09,800 --> 00:04:11,320
Speaker 1: lot of people to do that for you too. Like

47
00:04:11,400 --> 00:04:13,120
Speaker 1: I said, if you're the movie theater or you're an

48
00:04:13,120 --> 00:04:15,520
Speaker 1: amusement park and you're in the line and you forget something,

49
00:04:15,760 --> 00:04:18,560
Speaker 1: if you politely ask the person behind you, hey, man,

50
00:04:18,600 --> 00:04:20,440
Speaker 1: I gotta run to my car left something, would you

51
00:04:20,520 --> 00:04:23,280
Speaker 1: hold my place, most people say, fine, you gotta go ahead,

52
00:04:23,320 --> 00:04:25,080
Speaker 1: and when you come back, they don't have a problem.

53
00:04:25,320 --> 00:04:27,680
Speaker 1: See your problem is is you want to get out

54
00:04:27,720 --> 00:04:29,960
Speaker 1: the line, go do something, then come back and just

55
00:04:30,520 --> 00:04:32,400
Speaker 1: get up in the line further up than you were,

56
00:04:32,760 --> 00:04:35,039
Speaker 1: or cut somebody. Now you got a problem because see

57
00:04:35,400 --> 00:04:37,840
Speaker 1: everybody looking at you now, like Roy Wall partner, where

58
00:04:37,880 --> 00:04:40,800
Speaker 1: you come from. You know the line start back here.

59
00:04:41,080 --> 00:04:43,560
Speaker 1: But see the thing with God is God don't do that.

60
00:04:43,720 --> 00:04:47,039
Speaker 1: God don't say the line start back here. God holds

61
00:04:47,080 --> 00:04:49,560
Speaker 1: your place. When you make a mistake and you fall

62
00:04:49,640 --> 00:04:52,720
Speaker 1: off the line, God holds your place. But if you

63
00:04:52,800 --> 00:04:56,200
Speaker 1: ain't got no dreams, aspiration, if you ain't got no place,

64
00:04:56,440 --> 00:04:59,520
Speaker 1: what he holding for you? See I mean he got

65
00:04:59,640 --> 00:05:01,760
Speaker 1: a play for you, but you gotta come to it.

66
00:05:02,120 --> 00:05:05,920
Speaker 1: See some people if well, here's what I'm saying. If

67
00:05:05,960 --> 00:05:08,680
Speaker 1: you got a goal or aspiration, a dream and you

68
00:05:08,839 --> 00:05:12,600
Speaker 1: fall off track momentarily, you can get back to that

69
00:05:13,960 --> 00:05:17,040
Speaker 1: because God know where you're left off. Now you may

70
00:05:17,120 --> 00:05:19,200
Speaker 1: have to accomplish a few more things since you stop

71
00:05:19,360 --> 00:05:21,480
Speaker 1: for a long period of time, but God know where

72
00:05:21,520 --> 00:05:25,120
Speaker 1: you left off. You can get back on track. I look, man,

73
00:05:25,279 --> 00:05:27,599
Speaker 1: this dream of being on TV since I was a kid,

74
00:05:28,000 --> 00:05:31,279
Speaker 1: and it got off track. Now it got off track.

75
00:05:31,680 --> 00:05:34,480
Speaker 1: I just kept it as one of the dreams. And

76
00:05:34,600 --> 00:05:37,240
Speaker 1: in some real dog moments when it looked like it

77
00:05:37,480 --> 00:05:40,760
Speaker 1: wasn't gonna happen, all I was hanging on to was

78
00:05:40,839 --> 00:05:43,760
Speaker 1: just a hope that one day it could. But that's

79
00:05:43,839 --> 00:05:47,120
Speaker 1: what faith is really about. Faith is the belief in

80
00:05:47,279 --> 00:05:50,840
Speaker 1: things that you cannot see. But faith gives you the

81
00:05:51,160 --> 00:05:55,560
Speaker 1: confidence to keep hoping. Man, sometime it just keep hope alive.

82
00:05:56,160 --> 00:05:59,240
Speaker 1: Sometimes you heard Jesse Jackson said, just keep hope alive.

83
00:05:59,640 --> 00:06:03,680
Speaker 1: Sometimes times, man, it's just the hope. I was hanging

84
00:06:03,760 --> 00:06:07,040
Speaker 1: on the hope. And I'm talking about when it got

85
00:06:07,279 --> 00:06:09,920
Speaker 1: real ugly and funky out there for me, when it

86
00:06:10,080 --> 00:06:13,560
Speaker 1: looked like I wasn't gonna ever make it, and all

87
00:06:13,640 --> 00:06:16,320
Speaker 1: of the facts was in and everything pointed in the

88
00:06:16,440 --> 00:06:19,320
Speaker 1: direction you're not gonna make it. You didn't really messed

89
00:06:19,400 --> 00:06:22,480
Speaker 1: up this time. Then I sat there and I just

90
00:06:22,680 --> 00:06:26,520
Speaker 1: hung on to the hope. But man, that's what I'm saying.

91
00:06:26,800 --> 00:06:30,159
Speaker 1: If you got a dream on aspiration of vision or something,

92
00:06:30,600 --> 00:06:33,200
Speaker 1: when you fall off track and you want to go

93
00:06:33,360 --> 00:06:37,240
Speaker 1: get back in line, God holds your place. He knew

94
00:06:37,240 --> 00:06:39,839
Speaker 1: I was off tracking how the line, but he said, okay,

95
00:06:40,080 --> 00:06:42,440
Speaker 1: here's where we stopped. You want to be on TV

96
00:06:42,760 --> 00:06:44,640
Speaker 1: that when you get it together and you quit tripping

97
00:06:44,680 --> 00:06:46,720
Speaker 1: and you come in your turn to me, I'm gonna

98
00:06:46,720 --> 00:06:48,480
Speaker 1: hold your place, put you back in line. Then we're

99
00:06:48,480 --> 00:06:50,840
Speaker 1: gonna finish the journey. That took me a lot longer

100
00:06:50,920 --> 00:06:53,280
Speaker 1: to get here than I wanted to, But then it

101
00:06:53,400 --> 00:06:56,240
Speaker 1: was necessary because I needed all of the mishaps to

102
00:06:56,320 --> 00:06:58,400
Speaker 1: happen to me along the way. So when I got

103
00:06:58,480 --> 00:07:01,080
Speaker 1: on the radio one day, which I did not see coming,

104
00:07:01,240 --> 00:07:04,200
Speaker 1: Steve Harvey got a radio show, y'all. That's why I said,

105
00:07:04,279 --> 00:07:06,680
Speaker 1: every day, see because of this radio show that I

106
00:07:06,800 --> 00:07:10,520
Speaker 1: didn't see coming. Now I have stories to tell and

107
00:07:10,680 --> 00:07:12,480
Speaker 1: I can tell you about me better than I can

108
00:07:12,520 --> 00:07:15,880
Speaker 1: tell you about anybody. And I haven't been through enough

109
00:07:16,280 --> 00:07:19,880
Speaker 1: whereas relatable, where enough people can go. Man, that happened

110
00:07:19,920 --> 00:07:22,960
Speaker 1: to me. Appreciate you saying that that's what it was for. See,

111
00:07:23,000 --> 00:07:25,360
Speaker 1: I get it now. See at the time, though I

112
00:07:25,440 --> 00:07:28,480
Speaker 1: didn't like what was happening to me. At the time,

113
00:07:28,600 --> 00:07:31,120
Speaker 1: I was really in total disagreement with God on a

114
00:07:31,200 --> 00:07:33,800
Speaker 1: lot of stuff he was pulling off on me. But

115
00:07:33,920 --> 00:07:36,440
Speaker 1: in essence I was really pulling it off on myself.

116
00:07:37,320 --> 00:07:39,560
Speaker 1: But through his grace and mercy, he kept me through

117
00:07:39,640 --> 00:07:44,600
Speaker 1: all of my mistakes, all my bad decisions, all my miscalculations,

118
00:07:44,720 --> 00:07:49,440
Speaker 1: all my misfires, all the times I knowingly stepped out

119
00:07:49,480 --> 00:07:53,200
Speaker 1: there and died wrong. He forgave me, He said, because man,

120
00:07:53,680 --> 00:07:56,720
Speaker 1: if you ever come to me, I have a plan

121
00:07:56,960 --> 00:08:00,480
Speaker 1: for you that it is going to be far and above.

122
00:08:00,640 --> 00:08:04,480
Speaker 1: It will supersede everything you've ever dreamed of. That's what

123
00:08:04,640 --> 00:08:07,720
Speaker 1: I did. I just got sick on me, good and

124
00:08:07,880 --> 00:08:10,560
Speaker 1: sick of me, and I turned it over to God.

125
00:08:10,920 --> 00:08:15,240
Speaker 1: And then God started working. And here I am today now.

126
00:08:15,360 --> 00:08:19,920
Speaker 1: See threw it me yet? Nope? Have I arrived yet? Nope?

127
00:08:20,520 --> 00:08:24,080
Speaker 1: But guess what the journey is cool? And then you

128
00:08:24,160 --> 00:08:26,240
Speaker 1: know what I found out. That's kind of what it's

129
00:08:26,280 --> 00:08:29,400
Speaker 1: like in life. If you don't walked off the cliff

130
00:08:29,520 --> 00:08:32,680
Speaker 1: in life and you ain't got no God in your life,

131
00:08:33,240 --> 00:08:36,559
Speaker 1: it's like not having a parachute. You step off the

132
00:08:36,679 --> 00:08:40,400
Speaker 1: cliff and you just free falling. We all now that

133
00:08:40,559 --> 00:08:42,920
Speaker 1: fall gets you closer to the grave, right see, we

134
00:08:43,040 --> 00:08:45,360
Speaker 1: all heading to the grave from the moment we're born.

135
00:08:45,640 --> 00:08:47,880
Speaker 1: But the cool thing about a relationship with God is

136
00:08:48,280 --> 00:08:50,920
Speaker 1: when you step off the cliff and you got God

137
00:08:51,160 --> 00:08:54,719
Speaker 1: here a parachute. You're still going down, but it's a

138
00:08:54,920 --> 00:08:58,679
Speaker 1: nice ride. You guide and you're glad, and you're softly,

139
00:08:58,760 --> 00:09:01,800
Speaker 1: you enjoying your looking around, you're smiling, you're meeting other

140
00:09:01,880 --> 00:09:05,960
Speaker 1: people along the way. You're floating over here to Skiale

141
00:09:05,960 --> 00:09:08,040
Speaker 1: a little while. You over there at the beach for

142
00:09:08,160 --> 00:09:11,000
Speaker 1: a little while. You mess around over here. You get

143
00:09:11,000 --> 00:09:12,520
Speaker 1: to go out of the country a little bit on

144
00:09:12,640 --> 00:09:15,920
Speaker 1: your parachuting. All that, and God just helps your your

145
00:09:16,040 --> 00:09:19,000
Speaker 1: descent appear more like a rise and then more like

146
00:09:19,120 --> 00:09:23,199
Speaker 1: a euphoric fall. Instead of not having no God in

147
00:09:23,320 --> 00:09:26,280
Speaker 1: your life and you're just walking off that cliff, every

148
00:09:26,400 --> 00:09:29,959
Speaker 1: day free falling. Ain't got no core, you steady pulling,

149
00:09:30,559 --> 00:09:33,160
Speaker 1: you hauling the whole way because you to mess around

150
00:09:33,240 --> 00:09:35,760
Speaker 1: with yourself and ain't let God come into your life

151
00:09:35,800 --> 00:09:39,360
Speaker 1: and provide a parachute for you. I would rather have

152
00:09:39,520 --> 00:09:42,600
Speaker 1: a parachute since I got to jump every day, than

153
00:09:42,679 --> 00:09:46,080
Speaker 1: to not have one. God has been like a parachute

154
00:09:46,200 --> 00:09:49,880

Speaker 1: So Steve, it's time now for weekend review. We're gonna

214
00:14:19,040 --> 00:14:21,760
Speaker 1: find out what happened over the weekend. We know Tommy

215
00:14:21,880 --> 00:14:25,360
Speaker 1: finally took a shower after his shoulder surgery. He wasn't

216
00:14:25,360 --> 00:14:28,040
Speaker 1: able to get in, so finally he took one. I

217
00:14:28,240 --> 00:14:37,240
Speaker 1: am currently in Ghana, still here taking a lot of meetings,

218
00:14:37,320 --> 00:14:41,360
Speaker 1: setting up everything. I really came here to promote for

219
00:14:41,520 --> 00:14:46,680
Speaker 1: the Ghana families for Family few uh that starts taping,

220
00:14:46,760 --> 00:14:50,080
Speaker 1: and so we were a little slow getting to Ghana family.

221
00:14:50,160 --> 00:14:52,920
Speaker 1: So I came over and did radio on tv H.

222
00:14:53,120 --> 00:14:56,640
Speaker 1: It got us everything we needed. Both Ghana families are

223
00:14:56,680 --> 00:15:00,920
Speaker 1: in because they just couldn't believe it. They couldn't believe it,

224
00:15:01,040 --> 00:15:03,480
Speaker 1: and so I took care of that. Then I had

225
00:15:03,600 --> 00:15:09,720
Speaker 1: some very very important meetings around other business that I'm

226
00:15:09,800 --> 00:15:11,760
Speaker 1: involved in over here. It's just been a great trip.

00:15:29,520 --> 00:15:35,200
Speaker 1: the first African or African American ever to strike oil.

232
00:15:36,560 --> 00:15:45,040
Speaker 1: And wow, ok, no, I mean listen to me. No, no,

237
00:16:04,240 --> 00:16:07,840
Speaker 1: home with his education and he bought an oil field

238
00:16:08,080 --> 00:16:10,040
Speaker 1: or block where they told him there was no oil.

239
00:16:10,360 --> 00:16:12,880
Speaker 1: Bb Is on one side of him, and another oil

240
00:16:12,920 --> 00:16:15,400
Speaker 1: companies on another one. And now they told him it

241
00:16:15,480 --> 00:16:18,240
Speaker 1: wasn't oil, and he believed that it was. He hired

242
00:16:18,480 --> 00:16:22,520
Speaker 1: believe it's not man, two brothers from Houston, these two

243
00:16:22,600 --> 00:16:26,960
Speaker 1: African Americans from Houston, and they came over and they

244
00:16:27,040 --> 00:16:31,280
Speaker 1: believed in him. And he hired his office full of Africans. Man,

245
00:16:32,040 --> 00:16:35,280
Speaker 1: you know that's it's a multicultural office, but most of

246
00:16:35,360 --> 00:16:38,240
Speaker 1: his employees African, and they believed in him, and they

247
00:16:38,360 --> 00:16:45,560
Speaker 1: found oil and he hid it and he Wow, that's

248
00:16:45,560 --> 00:16:48,680
Speaker 1: all I can tell you right now because later today

249
00:16:48,840 --> 00:16:53,400
Speaker 1: we were with the with the President's office here in Ghana,

250
00:16:54,040 --> 00:16:56,520
Speaker 1: and so we have some things to settle with that,

251
00:16:56,680 --> 00:16:59,680
Speaker 1: and I can't say anymore about it, but that's what's

252
00:16:59,720 --> 00:17:02,680
Speaker 1: been out there. I've been on my first oil rig. Ever,

253
00:17:04,000 --> 00:17:06,080
Speaker 1: they need to elevate on the oil rig. I don't

254
00:17:06,080 --> 00:17:10,640
Speaker 1: know who the hell billy things. And it's seventeen floors, man,

255
00:17:11,760 --> 00:17:15,640
Speaker 1: seventeen floors on an oil rig. But an oi rig

256
00:17:15,800 --> 00:17:17,680
Speaker 1: now is very different from what I thought it was,

257
00:17:17,760 --> 00:17:19,800
Speaker 1: you know, you know, like off the Gulf, you think

258
00:17:19,840 --> 00:17:24,080
Speaker 1: an oil rigs these stations that's built, these platforms that's

259
00:17:24,119 --> 00:17:26,600
Speaker 1: built with housing quarters on them, and they drill all

260
00:17:26,600 --> 00:17:28,879
Speaker 1: the way down to the seabed and build these rigs

261
00:17:28,960 --> 00:17:33,840
Speaker 1: from there. It's different. Now there are actual ships and

262
00:17:34,000 --> 00:17:36,399
Speaker 1: the ship has a hole in the center of it

263
00:17:37,280 --> 00:17:40,560
Speaker 1: and the drill goes down through the center of the ship.

264
00:17:44,640 --> 00:17:48,520
Speaker 1: And so you live on a ship and the drill

265
00:17:48,640 --> 00:17:55,280
Speaker 1: goes down through the center of the ship. And that's

266
00:17:55,320 --> 00:17:57,640
Speaker 1: how they drill. And man, can't tell you something else.

267
00:17:57,680 --> 00:18:01,399
Speaker 1: I learned this trip to after because when I opened

268
00:18:01,480 --> 00:18:05,200
Speaker 1: up the door and and I've met with the I

269
00:18:05,359 --> 00:18:09,440
Speaker 1: meet the Shanti king on Thursday, King of the Ashanti

270
00:18:09,920 --> 00:18:13,560
Speaker 1: nation here in Africa, the largest nation. Do you know

271
00:18:14,200 --> 00:18:19,400
Speaker 1: that Noah first of all Muslims believe in Noah's Ark.

272
00:18:19,800 --> 00:18:25,520
Speaker 1: Islam talks about Noah's Ark. All religions acknowledge that there

273
00:18:25,680 --> 00:18:30,640
Speaker 1: was a Noah's Ark. You understand, mar Noah had three kids.

274
00:18:34,119 --> 00:18:45,240
Speaker 1: His children started the Ashanti Kingdom. That's what I learned yesterday.

275
00:18:46,560 --> 00:18:49,719
Speaker 1: I'm gonna open up everybody's eyes to the true history

276
00:18:49,800 --> 00:18:53,639
Speaker 1: of this world that's been kept from us, and everybody

277
00:18:53,720 --> 00:18:58,360
Speaker 1: acknowledges that they just won't write about it. But Noah's

278
00:18:58,400 --> 00:19:03,440
Speaker 1: three children start the Ashanti Kingdom. The African nations were

279
00:19:03,520 --> 00:19:06,840
Speaker 1: started by three of Noah's from Noah of the Ark

280
00:19:06,920 --> 00:19:10,399
Speaker 1: in the Bible. That's where the Act Kingdom started from.

281
00:19:10,480 --> 00:19:17,399
Speaker 1: The Ashanti Kingdom was started from Noah's three children. That's crazy,

282
00:19:18,040 --> 00:19:23,920
Speaker 1: because history teacher, Oh, I'm over here learning man, when

283
00:19:23,960 --> 00:19:26,600
Speaker 1: I when I when I leave here, I'm going to

284
00:19:26,800 --> 00:19:30,639
Speaker 1: unveil this on my website of all that I'm learning

285
00:19:30,760 --> 00:19:33,600
Speaker 1: over here, to share it with everybody and to get

286
00:19:33,720 --> 00:19:37,800
Speaker 1: African Americans really really keenly interested in coming first of

287
00:19:37,840 --> 00:19:40,600
Speaker 1: all to Ghana to see these slave castles. So you

288
00:19:40,680 --> 00:19:42,760
Speaker 1: can understand what happened to us. And now I have

289
00:19:42,920 --> 00:19:45,359
Speaker 1: two other stops. I'm working with the tourism boards right

290
00:19:45,440 --> 00:19:47,440
Speaker 1: now to put it together. It isn't that's a non

291
00:19:47,520 --> 00:19:50,600
Speaker 1: revenue trip for me, but it's a learning trip I

292
00:19:50,760 --> 00:19:53,560
Speaker 1: want people to I'm gonna put it together as economically

293
00:19:53,640 --> 00:19:56,600
Speaker 1: possible feasible as I can, and it's gonna be a

294
00:19:56,680 --> 00:19:59,720
Speaker 1: great trip for people to come and take. And Witnes

295
00:20:00,040 --> 00:20:03,680
Speaker 1: partner with three countries in Africa that I've been to

296
00:20:03,880 --> 00:20:05,800
Speaker 1: that I think would be give you a look at

297
00:20:05,840 --> 00:20:08,560
Speaker 1: the total experience in a two week period. That's what

298
00:20:08,640 --> 00:20:11,080
Speaker 1: I'm working. You think believe if I started drilling in

299
00:20:11,200 --> 00:20:15,440
Speaker 1: my backyard, I might hit something absolutely? Yeah, yes, yeah, yeah,

300
00:20:15,680 --> 00:20:20,200
Speaker 1: you show, but don't do it with that bad shoulder. Yo. Yeah,

301
00:20:20,240 --> 00:20:23,080
Speaker 1: I'm gonna start do it. No, if I do it now,

302
00:20:24,000 --> 00:20:26,800
Speaker 1: now you should, man, you should do it and and

303
00:20:27,080 --> 00:20:32,240
Speaker 1: and and let me film it. It's gonna be a

304
00:20:32,359 --> 00:20:36,600

Speaker 1: the heil? What happened? Is Kaepernick doing to bring it?

435
00:31:37,760 --> 00:31:40,600
Speaker 1: To bring it, to bring it home? This is my

436
00:31:40,760 --> 00:31:44,040
Speaker 1: personal opinion. Oh, it was all smoking mirrors. It was

437
00:31:44,120 --> 00:31:47,800
Speaker 1: all a pr stunt by Colin Kaepernick. No matter what

438
00:31:47,960 --> 00:31:50,320
Speaker 1: he says, he don't want a job in the NFL.

439
00:31:50,440 --> 00:31:55,520
Speaker 1: You talk, I'm thoroughly convinced. I'm thoroughly is just my opinion.

440
00:31:55,560 --> 00:31:58,320
Speaker 1: I'm thoroughly convinced he doesn't want a job in the NFL.

441
00:31:58,520 --> 00:32:02,880
Speaker 1: That's my opinion. Let me give you the facts. Jay

442
00:32:03,000 --> 00:32:10,480
Speaker 1: Z reaches an agreement to partner with the National Football League.

443
00:32:10,880 --> 00:32:13,480
Speaker 1: We know the heat that he took from that based

444
00:32:13,520 --> 00:32:15,800
Speaker 1: on the press conference that he had with Roger Didell

445
00:32:15,880 --> 00:32:20,040
Speaker 1: months ago. Since that time, from what I was told, quietly,

446
00:32:20,640 --> 00:32:23,120
Speaker 1: he's been about the business of marching on and making

447
00:32:23,200 --> 00:32:27,520
Speaker 1: sure that Colin Kaepernick had the opportunity to return to

448
00:32:27,600 --> 00:32:31,800
Speaker 1: the NFL. He ran in, according to what I've heard,

449
00:32:32,160 --> 00:32:34,600
Speaker 1: to a few road blocks in terms of NFL owners

450
00:32:34,600 --> 00:32:38,880
Speaker 1: who wanted. Their mentality was, we've made over ten billion

451
00:32:38,960 --> 00:32:43,480
Speaker 1: dollars in the last year. Ratings and revenue are back

452
00:32:43,560 --> 00:32:46,960
Speaker 1: where we expected, if not better. And on top of it,

453
00:32:47,120 --> 00:32:51,600
Speaker 1: all four of the league NDB Kennedy to the National

454
00:32:51,640 --> 00:32:55,280
Speaker 1: Football League all happened to be black quarterbacks Patrick Mahomes,

455
00:32:55,600 --> 00:32:59,680
Speaker 1: DeShawn Watson, Lamar Jackson, and of course Russell Wilson is

456
00:33:00,040 --> 00:33:02,760
Speaker 1: out of Seahawks. Not to mention the fact that Russell

457
00:33:02,800 --> 00:33:08,440
Speaker 1: Wilson is the highest paid quarterback, is the highest paid

458
00:33:08,560 --> 00:33:12,120
Speaker 1: person in the National Football League. So ultimately, Jay Z

459
00:33:13,200 --> 00:33:15,480
Speaker 1: and Rock Nation and those boys with the Monta, look,

460
00:33:15,960 --> 00:33:20,040
Speaker 1: this is a priority. They get Roger Goodell to jump

461
00:33:20,120 --> 00:33:24,200
Speaker 1: on board the league. Teams teams in the league were

462
00:33:24,280 --> 00:33:28,200
Speaker 1: looking for cover because their fear wasn't that Colin Kaepernick

463
00:33:28,200 --> 00:33:30,280
Speaker 1: wouldn't be able to play. They knew he would be

464
00:33:30,360 --> 00:33:32,960
Speaker 1: able to play, but the interview was going to be everything.

465
00:33:33,680 --> 00:33:38,160
Speaker 1: Let what level of interest did he still have in

466
00:33:38,360 --> 00:33:41,280
Speaker 1: playing football, How good was he going to be, et cetera,

467
00:33:41,280 --> 00:33:44,600
Speaker 1: et cetera. They wanted to ask him questions. Okay, So

468
00:33:45,200 --> 00:33:47,920
Speaker 1: they wanted to use the NFL as cover because if

469
00:33:47,960 --> 00:33:51,200
Speaker 1: the end if the individual teams brought him in their

470
00:33:51,320 --> 00:33:53,600
Speaker 1: fear was, if they didn't pick him and bring him

471
00:33:53,640 --> 00:33:55,800
Speaker 1: on board, he could say anything about them. He could

472
00:33:55,800 --> 00:33:58,360
Speaker 1: say that the process was, the process was unfair. He

473
00:33:58,480 --> 00:34:01,200
Speaker 1: could castigate them, he could he could accuse them of

474
00:34:01,320 --> 00:34:04,880
Speaker 1: various things. And individual teams were reluctant to place themselves

475
00:34:04,920 --> 00:34:07,239
Speaker 1: in that kind of position where they were vulnerable at

476
00:34:07,280 --> 00:34:11,960
Speaker 1: that level of heat. So the NFL. NFL obliged them

477
00:34:12,080 --> 00:34:15,040
Speaker 1: and said, Okay, for the first time in our history,

478
00:34:15,600 --> 00:34:21,360
Speaker 1: we will conduct a workout. We will organize the workout itself.

479
00:34:21,760 --> 00:34:24,320
Speaker 1: They spent about five or six days negotiating with the

480
00:34:24,400 --> 00:34:29,839
Speaker 1: Atlanta Falcons all right to use their facilities, their personnel,

481
00:34:30,520 --> 00:34:33,360
Speaker 1: video cameras, and everything else in between. State of the

482
00:34:33,480 --> 00:34:36,399
Speaker 1: art equipment, all of this other stuff. They said, Tyler

483
00:34:36,480 --> 00:34:39,000
Speaker 1: Catholics on social media talk about he ready to go

484
00:34:39,200 --> 00:34:43,120
Speaker 1: right now. So we notified them Tuesday at ten thirties

485
00:34:43,239 --> 00:34:45,799
Speaker 1: is the NFL. We notified them at Tuesday, all right,

486
00:34:45,840 --> 00:34:47,600
Speaker 1: at ten thirty in the morning, we said, Hey, this

487
00:34:47,719 --> 00:34:51,640
Speaker 1: is what we're gonna do Saturday at Flowery Branch the

488
00:34:51,800 --> 00:34:56,160
Speaker 1: Atlanta Falcons practice facility, about an hour outside of the

489
00:34:56,280 --> 00:35:00,279
Speaker 1: city of Atlanta. We're going to organize this workout. Thing

490
00:35:00,320 --> 00:35:03,040
Speaker 1: you heard was about, oh is this reel? How many

491
00:35:03,120 --> 00:35:05,920
Speaker 1: teams are really gonna show off? Et cetera, et cetera. Well,

492
00:35:05,960 --> 00:35:11,960
Speaker 1: then yesterday, sorry, Saturday comes and what transpired Saturday? Twenty

493
00:35:12,320 --> 00:35:16,680
Speaker 1: five different teams showed up to watch Colin Kapin. It's

494
00:35:16,760 --> 00:35:21,680
Speaker 1: worked out. Most of them were brothers. A few of

495
00:35:21,840 --> 00:35:25,759
Speaker 1: them are in the general manager's pipeline, meaning that they

496
00:35:25,840 --> 00:35:28,719
Speaker 1: may be next in line to be general managers. These

497
00:35:28,719 --> 00:35:32,640
Speaker 1: are significant people. Hey, Steven A hold on one second, man,

498
00:35:32,719 --> 00:35:34,560
Speaker 1: hold on, hold on right there, Hey listen, Jim, we

499
00:35:34,640 --> 00:35:36,600
Speaker 1: gotta take a break. But when we come back, we

500
00:35:36,760 --> 00:35:57,040
Speaker 1: got more with Stephen A. Smith. You're listening, all right,

501
00:35:57,200 --> 00:36:01,000
Speaker 1: We're back. Everybody on our specially your guests. This morning

502
00:36:01,200 --> 00:36:05,160
Speaker 1: is the legend Stephen A. Smith, and we're discussing the

503
00:36:05,360 --> 00:36:10,960
Speaker 1: Colin Kaepernick situation. They all showed up to watch a

504
00:36:11,080 --> 00:36:16,320
Speaker 1: live workout with Colin Kaepernick scheduled for three o'clock Saturday afternoon.

505
00:36:16,840 --> 00:36:24,520
Speaker 1: What does Colin Kaepernick do Saturday? At two thirty a

506
00:36:24,800 --> 00:36:29,399
Speaker 1: half out? Work? Before the workout, Colin Kaepernick lets them

507
00:36:29,480 --> 00:36:32,600
Speaker 1: know he will not be showing up to their facilities

508
00:36:32,640 --> 00:36:36,880
Speaker 1: to workout. Instead, he's going to show up to a

509
00:36:37,160 --> 00:36:42,920
Speaker 1: high school field fifty one miles away near Atlanta Airport

510
00:36:43,480 --> 00:36:47,600
Speaker 1: to do the workout with his stud about with his

511
00:36:47,719 --> 00:36:50,360
Speaker 1: own people. Now, he's trying to sit up there and

512
00:36:50,360 --> 00:36:52,840
Speaker 1: say a couple of things. Number One, he wanted his

513
00:36:52,960 --> 00:36:56,759
Speaker 1: own receivers. Well, the NFL capitulated to that. They said, okay,

514
00:36:57,120 --> 00:37:00,760
Speaker 1: you can have your own receivers running routes, catching your passes.

515
00:37:01,480 --> 00:37:05,120
Speaker 1: All of a sudden, he wanted the waiver. The liability

516
00:37:05,239 --> 00:37:09,719
Speaker 1: waiver was an issue because essentially the NFL waivers stipulate that,

517
00:37:09,920 --> 00:37:13,720
Speaker 1: excuse me, just because we're giving you a tryout doesn't

518
00:37:13,800 --> 00:37:16,800
Speaker 1: mean that we have to hire you, okay, Because what

519
00:37:16,880 --> 00:37:19,080
Speaker 1: they didn't want to do, which positioned themselves for a

520
00:37:19,160 --> 00:37:23,960
Speaker 1: worker's compensation claim. Also, we don't want to be in

521
00:37:24,000 --> 00:37:26,160
Speaker 1: a position where you believe you have the right to

522
00:37:26,280 --> 00:37:30,279
Speaker 1: sue us just because this workout doesn't materialize something which

523
00:37:30,360 --> 00:37:34,160
Speaker 1: is a standard waiver give us to every unrestricted free agent.

524
00:37:34,600 --> 00:37:36,600
Speaker 1: So all of a sudden there was pushed back from that,

525
00:37:37,239 --> 00:37:40,280
Speaker 1: and then last but not leave, they were trying his lawyers,

526
00:37:40,400 --> 00:37:44,440
Speaker 1: Jeff Nalionel's god, we're trying to say that videoing it

527
00:37:45,239 --> 00:37:48,400
Speaker 1: was a deal breaker because they didn't want the NFL

528
00:37:48,640 --> 00:37:52,080
Speaker 1: videoing the workout. They wanted to be able to do

529
00:37:52,239 --> 00:37:55,719
Speaker 1: it themselves with their cell phones or their cameras, as

530
00:37:55,760 --> 00:37:58,000
Speaker 1: opposed to the state of the ARTI equipment that the

531
00:37:58,200 --> 00:38:01,400
Speaker 1: NFL has in the Atlanta Falcons, where you got cameras

532
00:38:01,440 --> 00:38:10,640
Speaker 1: on gold boasts and polls for crying out Like okay, okay,

533
00:38:10,760 --> 00:38:15,560
Speaker 1: stephen A, stephen A, why okay, y'all hold on. We'll

534
00:38:15,600 --> 00:38:17,600
Speaker 1: be right back with more stephen A. Right after this.

535
00:38:17,719 --> 00:38:20,000
Speaker 1: We got to hear the rest of this. You're listening

536
00:38:20,280 --> 00:38:42,000
Speaker 1: to show, all right, we're back everybody on our special

537
00:38:42,080 --> 00:38:45,560
Speaker 1: guests this morning is the legend stephen A. Smith, and

538
00:38:45,640 --> 00:38:51,480
Speaker 1: we're discussing the Colin Kaepernick situation. So so, so, what

539
00:38:51,600 --> 00:38:57,479
Speaker 1: does the NFL said, excuse me that? No, not only

540
00:38:57,560 --> 00:39:01,279
Speaker 1: did we promise you we're going to send I take

541
00:39:01,800 --> 00:39:05,080
Speaker 1: to all thirty two teams in the league, but we

542
00:39:05,320 --> 00:39:10,320
Speaker 1: promised to hand you the raw footage of the workout,

543
00:39:11,120 --> 00:39:15,840
Speaker 1: plus twenty five different teams are in attendance to watch

544
00:39:15,960 --> 00:39:20,600
Speaker 1: you raw. What's the problem? College Kaefernick and those in

545
00:39:20,719 --> 00:39:24,080
Speaker 1: his camp use that as an excuse to back out.

546
00:39:24,200 --> 00:39:26,480
Speaker 1: And last of not least, not only did he go

547
00:39:26,560 --> 00:39:29,160
Speaker 1: to the workout fifty one miles away, not only did

548
00:39:29,200 --> 00:39:32,640
Speaker 1: he notify them not up until a half hour before

549
00:39:32,719 --> 00:39:36,040
Speaker 1: his workout was to begin, pushing it back to four o'clock,

550
00:39:36,320 --> 00:39:38,719
Speaker 1: knowing good and damn well what Atlanta traffic is like

551
00:39:39,080 --> 00:39:42,800
Speaker 1: on our Saturday afternoon, trying to get fifty one miles away,

552
00:39:43,400 --> 00:39:45,560
Speaker 1: but on top of it all, but on top of

553
00:39:45,640 --> 00:39:49,360
Speaker 1: it all, once he gets there, all those fans that

554
00:39:49,520 --> 00:39:54,439
Speaker 1: you saw there, okay, we're wearing Capernick T shirts, I'm

555
00:39:54,520 --> 00:39:59,000
Speaker 1: with calfs or shirts that said I know my right.

556
00:39:59,520 --> 00:40:03,600
Speaker 1: There was security there and his own now, and there

557
00:40:03,680 --> 00:40:06,239
Speaker 1: was a security his own security there, and there was

558
00:40:06,360 --> 00:40:09,520
Speaker 1: personnel there, So clearly it wasn't a last minute thing

559
00:40:09,880 --> 00:40:13,000
Speaker 1: because you have to organize it. And remember that the

560
00:40:13,200 --> 00:40:16,360
Speaker 1: high school, as a public high school, you can't just

561
00:40:16,680 --> 00:40:21,120
Speaker 1: use their field without their permission. You have to call superintendent,

562
00:40:21,520 --> 00:40:24,839
Speaker 1: you have to call a public school officials to get

563
00:40:24,880 --> 00:40:27,080
Speaker 1: permission to do all of that, which means that he

564
00:40:27,200 --> 00:40:29,560
Speaker 1: knew what he was going to do, he had planned

565
00:40:29,600 --> 00:40:32,400
Speaker 1: to do it, but didn't notify the nask the Football

566
00:40:32,440 --> 00:40:36,640
Speaker 1: League's at half hour before his workout was scheduled an

567
00:40:36,719 --> 00:40:40,720
Speaker 1: hour away in Flowery Beds, Georgia. That's the story. Okay, Stephen,

568
00:40:41,080 --> 00:40:46,040
Speaker 1: here's my question to you. Why would he move the facility,

569
00:40:46,360 --> 00:40:49,880
Speaker 1: in your opinion, from the designated spot set up by

570
00:40:49,960 --> 00:40:52,760
Speaker 1: the NFL and not give them but a half hour note.

571
00:40:53,120 --> 00:40:58,400
Speaker 1: The easy answer is that clearly there's a extreme level

572
00:40:59,239 --> 00:41:03,640
Speaker 1: of trust that even one would say is somewhat justifiable.

573
00:41:04,680 --> 00:41:07,560
Speaker 1: He doesn't trust the NFL after all that he's been through,

574
00:41:07,600 --> 00:41:10,720
Speaker 1: et cetera, et cetera. But you didn't trust the NFL

575
00:41:11,160 --> 00:41:13,920
Speaker 1: when you were posting those workouts on social media. You

576
00:41:14,000 --> 00:41:16,319
Speaker 1: didn't trust the work You didn't trust the NFL when

577
00:41:16,360 --> 00:41:19,080
Speaker 1: you said that you're ready to play right now. You

578
00:41:19,160 --> 00:41:22,120
Speaker 1: don't trust the NFL. Now when you're saying, all thirty

579
00:41:22,160 --> 00:41:24,200
Speaker 1: two teams are free to call me for a workout.

580
00:41:24,640 --> 00:41:29,680
Speaker 1: So my position is its apploy. Colin Kapepnett led us

581
00:41:29,719 --> 00:41:33,000
Speaker 1: to believe that he really, really really wants to play

582
00:41:33,080 --> 00:41:36,799
Speaker 1: in the NFL. Now, one or two things are reality Eiven,

583
00:41:36,920 --> 00:41:39,319
Speaker 1: he's full of it and he doesn't want to play

584
00:41:39,400 --> 00:41:44,440
Speaker 1: in the NFL, or he's delusional because he thinks that

585
00:41:44,560 --> 00:41:46,400
Speaker 1: he gets to do what he wants to do, when

586
00:41:46,480 --> 00:41:48,919
Speaker 1: he wants to do, while he wants how he wants

587
00:41:48,960 --> 00:41:51,320
Speaker 1: to do it while having his hands out for somebody

588
00:41:51,400 --> 00:41:57,480
Speaker 1: else's products in dollars? Which one you want to go with? All?

589
00:41:57,800 --> 00:42:00,360
Speaker 1: I need all three of those. I think all of

590
00:42:00,440 --> 00:42:03,320
Speaker 1: those that you went with, because I was trying to

591
00:42:03,560 --> 00:42:12,480
Speaker 1: understand the counter can take T shirt standing have any

592
00:42:12,640 --> 00:42:17,120
Speaker 1: of the rights and options that you just describe that

593
00:42:17,320 --> 00:42:22,840
Speaker 1: brother Colin Kaepernick has no no, no, no, no no,

594
00:42:23,239 --> 00:42:27,080
Speaker 1: here's what you're missing. That was his way. One could

595
00:42:27,200 --> 00:42:34,520
Speaker 1: easily surmise of highlighting the fact that, similar to Coulter can'take,

596
00:42:35,520 --> 00:42:41,800
Speaker 1: he is a laborer, a slavehand, being persecuted by the

597
00:42:41,960 --> 00:42:47,360
Speaker 1: big bad NFL owners once again. Once again, what I

598
00:42:47,440 --> 00:42:53,400
Speaker 1: would say is this, then why do you want to play? Um,

599
00:42:53,640 --> 00:42:57,680
Speaker 1: there is something called the Canadian Football League. I've been

600
00:42:57,719 --> 00:43:01,120
Speaker 1: in Toronto's a beautiful city, haven't y'all. I've heard I've

601
00:43:01,120 --> 00:43:05,439
Speaker 1: heard Montreal, Yes, I hand it's a beautiful city as well.

602
00:43:06,280 --> 00:43:08,759
Speaker 1: There's a plethora of places that you can go that

603
00:43:08,880 --> 00:43:11,239
Speaker 1: are right near the United States. They have a football league.

604
00:43:11,480 --> 00:43:14,600
Speaker 1: What's the problem? But you keep saying that you want

605
00:43:14,680 --> 00:43:18,800
Speaker 1: to play in the National Football League while highlighting during

606
00:43:18,880 --> 00:43:21,840
Speaker 1: a job interview that the people that you're going to

612
00:43:52,600 --> 00:43:55,760
Speaker 1: Stephen A. Smith. The legend is here and we're talking

613
00:43:55,800 --> 00:44:01,279
Speaker 1: about Colin Kaepernick and lord are we talking about in campany? Oh?

614
00:44:01,360 --> 00:44:04,880
Speaker 1: By the way, can I ask may I switch gears

615
00:44:05,280 --> 00:44:08,680
Speaker 1: and ask you all a question? Yes? Okay, okay? Do

616
00:44:08,880 --> 00:44:13,640
Speaker 1: you know Steve Hark y'all? Do you know of anybody

617
00:44:14,320 --> 00:44:20,000
Speaker 1: whose father a grievance against an employer settled and then

618
00:44:20,080 --> 00:44:25,040
Speaker 1: expected a job for them. I'm saying, Steve Harvey and

619
00:44:25,080 --> 00:44:28,960
Speaker 1: the Steve Harvey Morning Team, are you all aware of

620
00:44:29,239 --> 00:44:34,960
Speaker 1: anybody who has filed a grievance against an employer, settled

621
00:44:35,040 --> 00:44:39,759
Speaker 1: for millions, went back from that employer, and then expected

622
00:44:40,320 --> 00:44:50,160
Speaker 1: to have a job. Help no one. I am asking

623
00:44:50,360 --> 00:44:52,600
Speaker 1: for the help of the Steve Harvey Morning because maybe

624
00:44:55,680 --> 00:45:02,880
Speaker 1: maybe maybe you ain't miss maybe i' we can't help you.

625
00:45:03,080 --> 00:45:08,360
Speaker 1: You ain't miss nothing we can help you. We don't

626
00:45:08,480 --> 00:45:14,360
Speaker 1: know nobody that's had this second chance on such a scale,

627
00:45:15,040 --> 00:45:20,120
Speaker 1: over such an issue of such magnitude, following any dramatic

628
00:45:20,440 --> 00:45:25,960
Speaker 1: thing of sports. Well, Mohammad Ali, Mohammad Ali had a

629
00:45:26,160 --> 00:45:30,359
Speaker 1: valid cause, that's right. But remember he was an individual.

630
00:45:31,000 --> 00:45:35,040
Speaker 1: It was an individualized sport per se. And even though

631
00:45:35,120 --> 00:45:39,120
Speaker 1: he was participating in the sport, remember his beef was

632
00:45:39,200 --> 00:45:43,840
Speaker 1: that I'm not entering the Armed services because you know,

633
00:45:44,320 --> 00:45:46,920
Speaker 1: Noia Khan ever called me the N word and all

634
00:45:47,000 --> 00:45:50,400
Speaker 1: of that stuff, Okay, and the government stepped in and

635
00:45:50,600 --> 00:45:54,239
Speaker 1: banned him from the fort. The spot didn't by Muhammad Ali.

636
00:45:54,480 --> 00:45:58,239
Speaker 1: The government banned in, So so let's be clear about that.

637
00:45:58,320 --> 00:45:59,600
Speaker 1: But the other thing that I want to get to

638
00:45:59,680 --> 00:46:01,839
Speaker 1: is this. I would ask to Steve Harvey Morning Show

639
00:46:01,880 --> 00:46:05,000
Speaker 1: to be careful because we all smiling and we all

640
00:46:05,239 --> 00:46:08,080
Speaker 1: laughing at how ridiculous this is. Did you know that

641
00:46:08,280 --> 00:46:12,040
Speaker 1: because of that to up to some within our own community,

642
00:46:12,280 --> 00:46:14,960
Speaker 1: we sell out, we coons and all of that other stuff.

643
00:46:15,040 --> 00:46:16,800
Speaker 1: Did you know that? Did you know that? That's what

644
00:46:16,880 --> 00:46:20,160
Speaker 1: they're calling us as we speak, because we have the temerity,

645
00:46:20,360 --> 00:46:25,160
Speaker 1: the unmitigated goal to highlight and point out reality. This

646
00:46:25,320 --> 00:46:26,719
Speaker 1: is what I want to say for the Steve Harvey

647
00:46:26,800 --> 00:46:31,359
Speaker 1: Morning Show. Everybody and their mother knows Colin Kaepernick has

648
00:46:31,360 --> 00:46:35,359
Speaker 1: been treated unfairly. Colin Kaepernick has been blackballed. We get

649
00:46:35,480 --> 00:46:38,360
Speaker 1: all of that. What has happened to him was egregiousness.

650
00:46:38,400 --> 00:46:44,279
Speaker 1: Should have never happened. Let's make sure we are all

651
00:46:44,400 --> 00:46:47,839
Speaker 1: clear about that. What we're talking about is what we're

652
00:46:47,880 --> 00:46:51,680
Speaker 1: talking about it. But it happened, and the aftermath of

653
00:46:51,719 --> 00:46:55,040
Speaker 1: it happening, you collected over forty million dollars as a players.

654
00:46:55,440 --> 00:46:59,040
Speaker 1: You won millions of dollars with a settlement. Let's highlight

655
00:46:59,160 --> 00:47:01,920
Speaker 1: that settlement. For second, he never told us what he

656
00:47:02,000 --> 00:47:06,440
Speaker 1: stood for. We to this don't know he was you

657
00:47:06,640 --> 00:47:10,680
Speaker 1: stipulated with that settle that was signed with an NBA.

658
00:47:15,080 --> 00:47:20,920
Speaker 1: That's right. I could speak of the terms of the settlement.

659
00:47:21,239 --> 00:47:23,960
Speaker 1: That's a part of the settlement. All I'm saying to

660
00:47:24,080 --> 00:47:27,400
Speaker 1: you is he to this day has not talked. He

661
00:47:27,520 --> 00:47:29,480
Speaker 1: didn't now mind, Just the same guy that wanted the

662
00:47:29,600 --> 00:47:33,360
Speaker 1: media in attendance, right, he wanted transparency. Right. Then he

663
00:47:33,440 --> 00:47:36,560
Speaker 1: did his workout. Then after that he turned around and

664
00:47:36,719 --> 00:47:39,760
Speaker 1: he gave some I have a dream speech to the folks,

665
00:47:40,080 --> 00:47:42,399
Speaker 1: and then after that he didn't take And then after

666
00:47:42,480 --> 00:47:45,560
Speaker 1: that he didn't take any questions. He didn't take any questions.

667
00:47:46,200 --> 00:47:49,880
Speaker 1: So no, he didn't. He taught, he gave his statement,

668
00:47:50,000 --> 00:47:53,560
Speaker 1: his speech, and then after that he walked away, okay,

669
00:47:53,960 --> 00:47:57,640
Speaker 1: taking bitches with the superintendent and some other fices. Let

670
00:47:57,719 --> 00:47:59,920
Speaker 1: me give you an example. Not just knew he was

671
00:48:00,920 --> 00:48:04,680
Speaker 1: and still with this workout. Eight teams showed up. Two

672
00:48:04,840 --> 00:48:07,319
Speaker 1: probably less early because it was only six nitty end

673
00:48:07,320 --> 00:48:09,120
Speaker 1: of his workout, probably because they had a flight to

674
00:48:09,160 --> 00:48:10,880
Speaker 1: catch and they were right by the airport. And it

675
00:48:11,080 --> 00:48:14,520
Speaker 1: also after that the head of the Fritz Poll of

676
00:48:14,600 --> 00:48:21,160
Speaker 1: the Lions, which exists specifically to address diversity issues at

677
00:48:21,200 --> 00:48:23,680
Speaker 1: it as it pertains to the National Football League, the

678
00:48:23,719 --> 00:48:26,120
Speaker 1: executive director Rod Graves of the Fritz Poller The Lion

679
00:48:26,480 --> 00:48:29,640
Speaker 1: was in attendance for that workout in Flowery Branch as well.

680
00:48:29,880 --> 00:48:33,000
Speaker 1: That Colin Kaepernick refused to show up to the Atlanta

681
00:48:33,120 --> 00:48:38,560
Speaker 1: Falcon was the number one teams interested in Colin Kaepernick.

682
00:48:39,280 --> 00:48:43,960
Speaker 1: They're the ones that put the event together. They hosted

683
00:48:44,239 --> 00:48:53,160
Speaker 1: the event in Flowery Branch. They had to. Okay, Stephen,

684
00:48:53,200 --> 00:48:57,279
Speaker 1: here's the question. Twenty five teams came to Atlanta, and

685
00:48:57,560 --> 00:49:00,400
Speaker 1: you saying only eight came out to the high school.

686
00:49:00,600 --> 00:49:07,200
Speaker 1: Feel that's right. I mean, I understand that. I do

687
00:49:07,400 --> 00:49:11,359
Speaker 1: understand that. I do really do understand that. I mean,

688
00:49:11,560 --> 00:49:13,719
Speaker 1: you know, this is tough, you know, and and and

689
00:49:13,800 --> 00:49:17,040
Speaker 1: it's sad what you're saying. It is sad of these

690
00:49:17,120 --> 00:49:20,960
Speaker 1: opinions that we all seem to share and understand. I

691
00:49:21,080 --> 00:49:24,239
Speaker 1: think the older you get and the longer you've been

692
00:49:24,280 --> 00:49:27,759
Speaker 1: out here in this game of life, you understand the

693
00:49:27,840 --> 00:49:30,680
Speaker 1: complexity of it a bit more, and I think you

694
00:49:30,760 --> 00:49:33,000
Speaker 1: can go, Okay, wait a minute, hold up, that don't

695
00:49:33,040 --> 00:49:37,280
Speaker 1: make no sense as opposed to some I'm only saying

696
00:49:37,480 --> 00:49:41,000
Speaker 1: some younger people who just want to be able to

697
00:49:41,480 --> 00:49:43,560
Speaker 1: say and do what they want to say. And not

698
00:49:43,719 --> 00:49:48,520
Speaker 1: realize it that that's not the way life is set up, understand,

699
00:49:48,560 --> 00:49:52,240
Speaker 1: And that was my argument with his friend Eric Reid,

700
00:49:52,960 --> 00:49:57,680
Speaker 1: who got smoked by the Atlanta Falcons yesterday in Carolina.

701
00:49:58,160 --> 00:50:01,279
Speaker 1: Now this God, Now this guy is the first one

702
00:50:01,360 --> 00:50:03,960
Speaker 1: he's called out. Now, this is a guy that challenged

703
00:50:04,239 --> 00:50:07,520
Speaker 1: it was upset that Malcolm Jenkins in a player's coalition.

704
00:50:07,840 --> 00:50:11,160
Speaker 1: He accused them of co opting the movement that Colin

705
00:50:11,280 --> 00:50:14,279
Speaker 1: Kaepernick started. So what does he do last year? He

706
00:50:14,480 --> 00:50:19,920
Speaker 1: confronts Malcolm Jenkins on the football field during the Corn Tours,

707
00:50:20,200 --> 00:50:23,680
Speaker 1: during the Coin Tours before the Eagles played the Carolina Panthers.

708
00:50:23,719 --> 00:50:26,400
Speaker 1: That this is a guy that called Jay Z and

709
00:50:26,560 --> 00:50:29,920
Speaker 1: his actions apartment with the NFL despicable. This is the

710
00:50:30,040 --> 00:50:35,080
Speaker 1: guy that has attacked me and disrespected me on social

711
00:50:35,160 --> 00:50:38,400
Speaker 1: media over the weekend before I had to check his behind.

712
00:50:38,719 --> 00:50:41,879
Speaker 1: Here's the reality of the situation. You are a guy,

713
00:50:42,239 --> 00:50:45,279
Speaker 1: and Eric Freed, you're twenty seven years old, and if

714
00:50:45,520 --> 00:50:50,040
Speaker 1: everybody doesn't mark exactly lockstep in unison with you, their

715
00:50:50,160 --> 00:50:53,960
Speaker 1: blackness is to be questioned. You who plays in the

716
00:50:54,200 --> 00:50:58,239
Speaker 1: NFL collects a chet from the NFL while calling them

717
00:50:58,280 --> 00:51:02,560
Speaker 1: a practice, You who shows up to Colin Kaepernick's workout

718
00:51:02,680 --> 00:51:05,800
Speaker 1: yesterday but had to leave early to get back to

719
00:51:05,920 --> 00:51:08,319
Speaker 1: Carolina to get your butt with by the Atlantic. Bout

720
00:51:08,800 --> 00:51:14,399
Speaker 1: you who plays in the NFL, the NFL, You who

721
00:51:14,480 --> 00:51:18,680
Speaker 1: plays in the NFL, and we all appreciate your efforts

722
00:51:18,719 --> 00:51:21,120
Speaker 1: and the fact that you took a need for racial oppression,

723
00:51:21,400 --> 00:51:25,680
Speaker 1: police brutality more racial and impression and police brutality didn't

724
00:51:25,760 --> 00:51:28,719
Speaker 1: have anything to do with the National Football League. So

725
00:51:29,000 --> 00:51:33,359
Speaker 1: you were not protesting the National Football League until they said,

726
00:51:33,440 --> 00:51:36,720
Speaker 1: Colin Kaepernick, you cost enough money. We got a problem

727
00:51:36,760 --> 00:51:39,360
Speaker 1: with you. All of us have stood up in support

728
00:51:39,480 --> 00:51:42,480
Speaker 1: of Colin Kaefernick and what he and others who think

729
00:51:42,560 --> 00:51:45,200
Speaker 1: like him. What have you believed? Because we got a

730
00:51:45,440 --> 00:51:49,640
Speaker 1: problem with how Colin Kaepernick has gone about handling things.

731
00:51:50,040 --> 00:51:52,719
Speaker 1: That's that time you're trying to give the impressions that

732
00:51:52,840 --> 00:51:55,520
Speaker 1: we're against him when we were supporting him all the law.

733
00:51:56,360 --> 00:51:59,200
Speaker 1: Who the hell is he and who the hell is

734
00:51:59,239 --> 00:52:02,879
Speaker 1: anybody black him? To think that they can come at

735

00:53:52,120 --> 00:53:54,719
Speaker 1: and I don't have a problem getting the cookie. I

759
00:53:54,840 --> 00:53:57,920
Speaker 1: own a carpet business, so I'm the person that goes

760
00:53:58,000 --> 00:54:00,759
Speaker 1: to the customer's home to do the initial meeting and

761
00:54:00,920 --> 00:54:04,239
Speaker 1: get measurements. Three months ago, I went to a customer's

762
00:54:04,320 --> 00:54:08,359
Speaker 1: house and she was gorgeous, had a very nice house,

763
00:54:08,640 --> 00:54:11,359
Speaker 1: and she has her own real estate business. To make

764
00:54:11,440 --> 00:54:14,960
Speaker 1: a long story short, we had sex the same day

765
00:54:15,080 --> 00:54:18,080
Speaker 1: I met her, and we've been together almost every day

766
00:54:18,239 --> 00:54:21,399
Speaker 1: since then. She thinks we're dating, and I don't mind

767
00:54:21,520 --> 00:54:24,440
Speaker 1: because she started referring her homeowners to me for carpet

768
00:54:24,480 --> 00:54:27,800
Speaker 1: and other flooring needs, so she has been great for

769
00:54:27,960 --> 00:54:30,440
Speaker 1: my business. I still had a few women on the

770
00:54:30,520 --> 00:54:33,200
Speaker 1: side that I kick it with, but I was careful

771
00:54:33,320 --> 00:54:36,440
Speaker 1: not to mess up things with my main woman because

772
00:54:36,840 --> 00:54:40,360
Speaker 1: I didn't want her to stop sending business my way. Well,

773
00:54:40,640 --> 00:54:44,839
Speaker 1: I wasn't too careful because I ended up messing things up.

774
00:54:45,360 --> 00:54:47,839
Speaker 1: One crazy night, I had to go see a new

775
00:54:47,920 --> 00:54:50,000
Speaker 1: customer and when I got to her house, I was

776
00:54:50,239 --> 00:54:54,239
Speaker 1: instantly attracted to her and vice person. She invited me

777
00:54:54,280 --> 00:54:56,759
Speaker 1: over for dinner the next night, and after we ate,

778
00:54:57,000 --> 00:54:59,920
Speaker 1: we had sex on her couch. I was getting dressed

779
00:55:00,280 --> 00:55:02,239
Speaker 1: and I saw a picture of her and my main

780
00:55:02,440 --> 00:55:07,440
Speaker 1: woman on the side table. I asked, who's that? She said, Oh,

781
00:55:07,560 --> 00:55:11,719
Speaker 1: that's me and my very best girlfriend. I almost passed out,

782
00:55:12,200 --> 00:55:15,040
Speaker 1: but I played it off and I left. I have

783
00:55:15,120 --> 00:55:18,960
Speaker 1: avoided this lady since then, and I am so worried

784
00:55:19,040 --> 00:55:21,440
Speaker 1: that she's going to tell my main woman about what

785
00:55:21,640 --> 00:55:25,160
Speaker 1: went down since they are best friends. It was stupid

786
00:55:25,239 --> 00:55:27,960
Speaker 1: of me to not ask her who referred her to

787
00:55:28,080 --> 00:55:32,120
Speaker 1: me before we had sex. Now I've messed up big time. Steve?

788
00:55:32,200 --> 00:55:35,200
Speaker 1: Should I tell my girlfriend what happened and swear it'll

789
00:55:35,239 --> 00:55:38,160
Speaker 1: never happen again? What if this is all a setup?

790
00:55:38,239 --> 00:55:42,000
Speaker 1: How can I fix it? Please advise there's no fixing this.

791
00:55:42,360 --> 00:55:45,279
Speaker 1: There's no fixing this. And yeah, I say this is

792
00:55:45,360 --> 00:55:47,280
Speaker 1: from me. Steve is going to tell you something different.

793
00:55:47,640 --> 00:55:50,920
Speaker 1: Go ahead, tell your girlfriend and swear it won't ever

794
00:55:51,040 --> 00:55:55,680
Speaker 1: happen again. Yeah, go ahead and do that. You know, Steve,

795
00:55:55,760 --> 00:55:58,919
Speaker 1: how you say that you don't care anything about this letter?

796
00:55:58,960 --> 00:56:02,000
Speaker 1: You know? Sometimes you say that, well, uh, this is

797
00:56:02,040 --> 00:56:04,719
Speaker 1: a letter for me, Okay, this is that one for me?

798
00:56:05,040 --> 00:56:08,680
Speaker 1: I do not care to the letter. To the writer

799
00:56:08,840 --> 00:56:12,480
Speaker 1: of this letter, you, sir, are getting just what you deserve.

800
00:56:12,600 --> 00:56:15,520
Speaker 1: I have no sympathy for you. You're taking advantage of

801
00:56:15,600 --> 00:56:19,480
Speaker 1: these women. You're taking advantage of this situation everything. Yeah,

802
00:56:19,800 --> 00:56:22,080
Speaker 1: they're having sex with you the first night. I'm not

803
00:56:22,360 --> 00:56:26,920
Speaker 1: excusing them with that at all. But you're with this

804
00:56:27,360 --> 00:56:29,880
Speaker 1: woman that you call your main woman. This is how

805
00:56:29,960 --> 00:56:33,160
Speaker 1: you treat your main woman by going around having sex

806
00:56:33,239 --> 00:56:35,320
Speaker 1: with these other women. You know you can say no,

807
00:56:35,920 --> 00:56:39,120
Speaker 1: you can't say no. You're doing these women, or your

808
00:56:39,200 --> 00:56:43,719
Speaker 1: main woman as you call her, to selfishly just get

809
00:56:43,840 --> 00:56:48,279
Speaker 1: business and just get sex. I mean you're you're trying

810
00:56:48,360 --> 00:56:50,879
Speaker 1: to do this to get you know, business for your

811
00:56:51,239 --> 00:56:54,200
Speaker 1: or your cleaning company, for your carpet company. That's how

812
00:56:54,280 --> 00:56:56,600
Speaker 1: I look at it. The only reason you're concerned that

813
00:56:56,719 --> 00:57:01,719
Speaker 1: your latest conquested, the reason you're concerned is because she's

814
00:57:01,760 --> 00:57:06,040
Speaker 1: your main woman's best friend. Uh and you might lose business.

815
00:57:06,200 --> 00:57:08,360
Speaker 1: Not because you might hurt her, or might because you

816
00:57:08,480 --> 00:57:11,200
Speaker 1: really feel something for her, any of that. You know

817
00:57:11,400 --> 00:57:14,080
Speaker 1: that a normal man, a good man, would feel. Just

818
00:57:14,400 --> 00:57:18,360
Speaker 1: you're just upset because you might lose business. Um, that's crazy,

819
00:57:18,480 --> 00:57:20,600
Speaker 1: Not that you might lose a good woman who's looking

820
00:57:20,680 --> 00:57:24,760
Speaker 1: out for you and sending business your way, which puts

821
00:57:24,840 --> 00:57:28,160
Speaker 1: money in your pocket. You're you're just concerned that you

822
00:57:28,440 --> 00:57:32,280
Speaker 1: know that she's not going to send you any more business. So, uh,

823
00:57:32,440 --> 00:57:34,560
Speaker 1: that's how I feel about you. How you feel about

824
00:57:34,600 --> 00:57:37,160
Speaker 1: these women in the letter. It doesn't it doesn't look

825
00:57:37,200 --> 00:57:40,080
Speaker 1: like you care. You just care about the French benefits

826
00:57:40,120 --> 00:57:45,120
Speaker 1: you get from your business contacts and your connection. So uh, yeah,

827
00:57:45,200 --> 00:57:48,400
Speaker 1: go ahead and tell her, tell her, tell her right now, Steve.

828
00:57:49,960 --> 00:57:53,040
Speaker 1: I want him to tell her. I definitely want you

829
00:57:53,120 --> 00:57:59,640
Speaker 1: to tell her. Well, okay, well deal. Oh. First of all, um,

830
00:58:00,960 --> 00:58:05,520
Speaker 1: this whole letter sums up in the first sentence, I'm

831
00:58:05,560 --> 00:58:09,960
Speaker 1: in my late fifties and I'm still a bachelor. Period.

832
00:58:10,600 --> 00:58:19,000
Speaker 1: Everything after that statement right there explains that statement right there.

833
00:58:19,680 --> 00:58:23,280
Speaker 1: This is how you are in your late fifties and

834
00:58:23,640 --> 00:58:27,600
Speaker 1: still a bachelor. And from the top of this letter

835
00:58:27,680 --> 00:58:33,840
Speaker 1: to the bottom, you do nothing to gain any sympathy

836
00:58:33,960 --> 00:58:38,080
Speaker 1: from anybody. You can't get no real advice from nobody

837
00:58:38,120 --> 00:58:41,920
Speaker 1: because you ain't really asking for none. So don I

838
00:58:42,080 --> 00:58:46,080
Speaker 1: hate to tell you this man, you don't have no

839
00:58:46,280 --> 00:58:49,640
Speaker 1: problem meeting beautiful women, and I don't have a problem

840
00:58:49,760 --> 00:58:55,080
Speaker 1: getting a cookie. Okay, I own a copy business. How

841
00:58:55,320 --> 00:59:00,520
Speaker 1: ironic this is because I own came and he called

842
00:59:00,600 --> 00:59:06,600
Speaker 1: wall to wall carpet cleaning and installation business. So you

843
00:59:06,720 --> 00:59:10,480
Speaker 1: know how it is. Oh yeah, oh you being all

844
00:59:10,600 --> 00:59:15,280
Speaker 1: kinds of house. I can count the beautiful women's houses.

845
00:59:15,400 --> 00:59:22,240
Speaker 1: I've been in on two fancers, but you have ten fingers, Steve.

846
00:59:22,880 --> 00:59:30,920
Speaker 1: Everybody else was somebody's grandmama. Obviously I didn't add the

847
00:59:31,040 --> 00:59:34,560
Speaker 1: same client. Tell you I won't get into this. And

848
00:59:34,840 --> 00:59:37,800
Speaker 1: you went to a customer's house. She was gorgeous, had

849
00:59:37,840 --> 00:59:41,680
Speaker 1: a nice house, had on real estate business. Long story short,

850
00:59:42,000 --> 00:59:46,400
Speaker 1: we had sex the same day. All right, Hang on, Steve,

851

01:00:00,680 --> 01:00:04,000
Speaker 1: Will get back into it right after this. You have

856
01:00:04,280 --> 01:00:06,640
Speaker 1: no idea what it is. This is Carlos Miller, and

857
01:00:06,720 --> 01:00:09,640
Speaker 1: this may or may not be the Steve Harvey Morning Shows.

858
01:00:09,880 --> 01:00:28,120
Speaker 1: You're listening to Steve Harvey Morning Show. All right, Steve,

859
01:00:28,200 --> 01:00:31,240
Speaker 1: come on, let's recap today's strawberry letters. Subject, I got

860
01:00:31,400 --> 01:00:35,760
Speaker 1: more than her measurements. Um, you're in your late fifties,

861
01:00:36,120 --> 01:00:40,800
Speaker 1: got a carb cleaning installation business, I mean late fifty

862
01:00:40,880 --> 01:00:44,520
Speaker 1: steal a bachelor. Ain't got a problem meeting beautiful women.

863
01:00:44,520 --> 01:00:47,920
Speaker 1: Ain't got a problem getting a cookie. But see something

864
01:00:48,040 --> 01:00:53,960
Speaker 1: wrong with you because you a bachelor in still a bachelor.

865
01:00:54,080 --> 01:00:57,200
Speaker 1: You said, steal a bachelor in your late fifties, So

866
01:00:57,480 --> 01:01:02,160
Speaker 1: it's something wrong. Let's clearly know this, because if you

867
01:01:02,280 --> 01:01:06,680
Speaker 1: were that good of a man, some woman would have

868
01:01:06,800 --> 01:01:10,200
Speaker 1: got in by now. But you don't want a good

869
01:01:10,280 --> 01:01:13,880
Speaker 1: woman in right now. You've never wanted a good woman

870
01:01:14,000 --> 01:01:18,480
Speaker 1: in because you won't women. I mean, let's it be real, dog,

871
01:01:19,080 --> 01:01:20,960
Speaker 1: that's your thing. I ain't knocking it, but I'm just

872
01:01:21,160 --> 01:01:25,040
Speaker 1: explaining to you yourself. So you went to this customer's house.

873
01:01:25,120 --> 01:01:28,120
Speaker 1: She was gorgeous. You had a nice house, A long

874
01:01:28,240 --> 01:01:32,600
Speaker 1: story short, she had on real estate business. Y'all had

875
01:01:32,640 --> 01:01:36,120
Speaker 1: sex the same day. Y'all been together almost every day

876
01:01:36,200 --> 01:01:40,640
Speaker 1: since then. She thinks we're dating. And I don't mind

877
01:01:41,200 --> 01:01:45,320
Speaker 1: what dog, if you're with a woman every day. How

878
01:01:45,480 --> 01:01:49,880
Speaker 1: she don't think y'all date. She thinks we date. No, doc,

879
01:01:50,320 --> 01:01:55,200
Speaker 1: you're dating her, No, Doc, that's what you're doing. If

880
01:01:55,240 --> 01:01:58,920
Speaker 1: you're with a woman every day, you are giving the impression,

881
01:01:59,360 --> 01:02:02,360
Speaker 1: and not only given the impression, you are committing the

882
01:02:02,680 --> 01:02:07,640
Speaker 1: act of dating. So the woman ain't delusional. You just

883
01:02:07,880 --> 01:02:10,720
Speaker 1: said you've been with her every day and you don't

884
01:02:10,800 --> 01:02:14,440
Speaker 1: mind that because she started referring her homeowners to me

885
01:02:14,600 --> 01:02:18,440
Speaker 1: for carpet and other flooring needs. So she's been great

886
01:02:18,520 --> 01:02:22,280
Speaker 1: for my business. Okay, so now you're a user. You

887
01:02:22,440 --> 01:02:25,439
Speaker 1: do women dirty, you get them on the stream, you're

888
01:02:25,480 --> 01:02:28,760
Speaker 1: not honest and true with them. You obviously haven't told

889
01:02:28,800 --> 01:02:31,280
Speaker 1: her about the other women, because I'll show you why

890
01:02:31,360 --> 01:02:33,720
Speaker 1: you haven't done that later on in the letter. So

891
01:02:33,880 --> 01:02:37,360
Speaker 1: you put women on the stream so they think you're dating,

892
01:02:37,800 --> 01:02:41,120
Speaker 1: and then you don't mind because it helps your business

893
01:02:42,160 --> 01:02:44,640
Speaker 1: or you're a piece of work right here, man, I

894
01:02:44,840 --> 01:02:48,640
Speaker 1: still had a few women on the side that I

895
01:02:48,880 --> 01:02:53,280
Speaker 1: kick it with, you know, but I've been careful not

896
01:02:53,440 --> 01:02:58,040
Speaker 1: to mess things up with my main woman. This is

897
01:02:58,120 --> 01:03:03,440
Speaker 1: your whole problem, though, Corpit cleaning player, So you know

898
01:03:05,000 --> 01:03:09,720
Speaker 1: you ended u anyway. You said I was careful not

899
01:03:09,840 --> 01:03:12,360
Speaker 1: to mess things up with him. I didn't want to

900
01:03:12,440 --> 01:03:16,760
Speaker 1: stop sitting. This is your way well, you messed up

901
01:03:17,680 --> 01:03:22,240
Speaker 1: because one crazy night I had to go see a

902
01:03:22,320 --> 01:03:25,160
Speaker 1: new customer. I got to her house, I was instantly

903
01:03:25,160 --> 01:03:28,200
Speaker 1: attracted her, and vice versa. She invited me over for

904
01:03:28,320 --> 01:03:30,760
Speaker 1: dinner the next night and we ate and we had

905
01:03:30,840 --> 01:03:33,479
Speaker 1: sex on her couch. This s your m O, dog,

906
01:03:34,920 --> 01:03:38,400
Speaker 1: This is your mo This is what you do. This

907
01:03:38,560 --> 01:03:41,480

950
01:06:12,920 --> 01:06:16,040
Speaker 1: on demand coming up at forty six after the hour,

951
01:06:16,400 --> 01:06:19,960
Speaker 1: Kanye West, we'll talk about it right after this. You're

952
01:06:20,040 --> 01:06:40,400
Speaker 1: listening to the Steve Harvey Morning Show. Yesterday, Kanye West

953
01:06:40,560 --> 01:06:43,600
Speaker 1: was in Houston. He went on stage at Lakewood Church

954
01:06:43,720 --> 01:06:47,760
Speaker 1: to talk with Pastor Joel Olstein about his spiritual transformation.

955
01:06:48,560 --> 01:06:52,640
Speaker 1: Kim Kardashian and their daughter North were also there sitting

956
01:06:52,680 --> 01:06:55,520
Speaker 1: in the front row. Kanye and Joel Olstein had quite

957
01:06:55,600 --> 01:06:59,000
Speaker 1: a chat Sunday at Lakewood Church, and one of the

958
01:06:59,080 --> 01:07:03,160
Speaker 1: big takeaways was Kanye going to bat for Joel and

959
01:07:03,360 --> 01:07:07,640
Speaker 1: his reputation in the Christian community. Kanye noted that Pastor

960
01:07:07,720 --> 01:07:11,840
Speaker 1: Joel was responsible for converting thousands upon thousands of people

961
01:07:11,880 --> 01:07:15,520
Speaker 1: to the right path of Christianity, and for that alone,

962
01:07:15,600 --> 01:07:19,440
Speaker 1: he should be praised instead of criticized. Kanye also discussed

963
01:07:19,480 --> 01:07:23,240
Speaker 1: his two sixteen mental breakdown, and he went on to

964
01:07:23,320 --> 01:07:25,800
Speaker 1: say that he was the greatest artist that God has

965
01:07:25,920 --> 01:07:29,160
Speaker 1: ever created and now he was working for the man

966
01:07:29,360 --> 01:07:33,000
Speaker 1: upstairs again instead of working for the devil. Kanye also

967
01:07:33,120 --> 01:07:36,160
Speaker 1: visited the Houston Harris County jails and performed for them

968
01:07:36,480 --> 01:07:39,960
Speaker 1: and brought inmates to tears. I'm not mad at him.

969
01:07:40,000 --> 01:07:43,680
Speaker 1: I think is a greatness what he's trying to accomplish.

970
01:07:44,000 --> 01:07:46,400
Speaker 1: People have to keep in mind. Let's all keep in

971
01:07:46,520 --> 01:07:49,720
Speaker 1: mind now that this is a new walk for Kanye,

972
01:07:51,120 --> 01:07:56,000
Speaker 1: So in your newness brings a lot more obvious flaws

973
01:07:56,080 --> 01:07:59,760
Speaker 1: with him because you knew it something. He's not a

974
01:08:00,040 --> 01:08:04,240
Speaker 1: fully developed Christian, nor am I see. I've been hanging

975
01:08:04,280 --> 01:08:07,400
Speaker 1: on to my newness title for some years now because

976
01:08:07,520 --> 01:08:10,439
Speaker 1: I like the newness title because that way it keeps

977
01:08:10,520 --> 01:08:13,880
Speaker 1: me from getting put up into the advanced Christian category,

978
01:08:14,200 --> 01:08:17,040
Speaker 1: which then puts me under a lot more pressure and scrutiny.

979
01:08:17,320 --> 01:08:20,800
Speaker 1: I think the scrutiny that Kanye is getting is unfair.

980
01:08:21,760 --> 01:08:26,000
Speaker 1: I think that he's a new person that's finding his

981
01:08:26,160 --> 01:08:29,360
Speaker 1: walk with Christ. And I think the fact that he

982
01:08:29,640 --> 01:08:34,400
Speaker 1: wants to do this should just be applauded from that point.

983
01:08:34,720 --> 01:08:39,240
Speaker 1: The fact that he's not perfect should be expected. Oh

984
01:08:39,320 --> 01:08:41,679
Speaker 1: what what do you guys think about? Um, we're gonna

985
01:08:42,000 --> 01:08:43,840
Speaker 1: change it up. I gotta ask you guys this because

986
01:08:43,880 --> 01:08:48,280
Speaker 1: this was kind of trending to Carla. Not sure I

987
01:08:48,400 --> 01:08:50,280
Speaker 1: heard him wanting to say something about it. I think

988
01:08:50,280 --> 01:08:56,920
Speaker 1: because Tommy, you should let them have their opinion too. No, absolutely,

989
01:08:57,360 --> 01:09:00,600
Speaker 1: I'm not upset. I applaud him on this. I just

990
01:09:00,760 --> 01:09:04,680
Speaker 1: remember his newness of being a Republican too, you know,

991
01:09:04,760 --> 01:09:07,160
Speaker 1: I remember that. So I just have to sit back

992
01:09:07,200 --> 01:09:09,920
Speaker 1: and watch and watch it on back and forth with

993
01:09:10,000 --> 01:09:13,680
Speaker 1: the political stuff that you know. I ain't forgot that.

994
01:09:13,760 --> 01:09:16,240
Speaker 1: I ain't forgotten. I ain't forgot slavers, how to charge,

995
01:09:16,400 --> 01:09:19,080
Speaker 1: I ain't forgotten none of this. So I'm just looking

996
01:09:19,160 --> 01:09:22,160
Speaker 1: at the brother. Hopefully he's getting it right. Naturally. That's

1140

1141
01:20:50,000 --> 01:20:54,880
Speaker 1: was a good Monday, Steve. Yeah, it was a lot.

1142
01:20:55,360 --> 01:20:57,400
Speaker 1: It was a lot to talk about today, wasn't it.

1143
01:20:57,760 --> 01:21:02,439
Speaker 1: He hasn't, Nick Man, I'm very disappointed. Well, when you

1144
01:21:02,560 --> 01:21:05,640
Speaker 1: think he could have had a job, I mean he

1145
01:21:05,720 --> 01:21:09,640
Speaker 1: could have been playing again, Yeah, in the NFL. It

1146
01:21:11,640 --> 01:21:16,280
Speaker 1: it doesn't make any sense what he did. It doesn't

1147
01:21:16,360 --> 01:21:19,880
Speaker 1: make any sense to anybody who's a thinking person. Now,

1148
01:21:19,960 --> 01:21:22,840
Speaker 1: if you just want to make points, just to be

1149
01:21:23,000 --> 01:21:25,880
Speaker 1: making points, if you want to be contrie, just to

1150
01:21:25,960 --> 01:21:28,439
Speaker 1: be contrite, if you want to be difficult, and you

1151
01:21:28,520 --> 01:21:30,439
Speaker 1: want to say that I'm doing it my way or

1152
01:21:30,479 --> 01:21:32,920
Speaker 1: the highway, didn't go ahead and do that. But don't

1153
01:21:32,960 --> 01:21:34,840
Speaker 1: say you want to throw a football for a team

1154
01:21:35,160 --> 01:21:37,400
Speaker 1: and then walk away from the twenty five teams that

1155
01:21:37,520 --> 01:21:41,560
Speaker 1: came to see you. That don't make no sense. But

1156
01:21:41,760 --> 01:21:45,120
Speaker 1: you agreed to all of this. All of this was

1157
01:21:45,200 --> 01:21:48,360
Speaker 1: set up in a place. You agreed to all of it.

1158
01:21:49,240 --> 01:21:52,280
Speaker 1: Then they made the concessions about to not signing the waiver.

1159
01:21:52,560 --> 01:21:54,880
Speaker 1: They gave you everything, Bro, I don't know what you want.

1160
01:21:55,080 --> 01:21:59,000
Speaker 1: Nothing happened on Saturday that you needed to change your game. Nothing.

1161
01:22:00,240 --> 01:22:04,439
Speaker 1: You agreed to all of that, signed up for Tommy Tommy,

1162
01:22:04,520 --> 01:22:06,960
Speaker 1: that's how they set it up. Yeah, and then you

1163
01:22:07,120 --> 01:22:10,719
Speaker 1: change your mind. So now instead of twenty five people

1164
01:22:10,760 --> 01:22:15,400
Speaker 1: seeing you, eight people saw you. Okay, you've reduced your

1165
01:22:15,560 --> 01:22:18,840
Speaker 1: chances two thirds. Man, eighty percent of the league came

1166
01:22:18,880 --> 01:22:33,240
Speaker 1: to see eighty dogs Junior. Eighty percent of the league

1167
01:22:33,320 --> 01:22:43,120
Speaker 1: came to see you. You down to thirty percent. Boy,

1168
01:22:43,360 --> 01:22:47,519
Speaker 1: even less than that twenty five percent. You moved it

1169
01:22:47,600 --> 01:22:50,160
Speaker 1: to where only twenty five percent. Man, come on stop,

1170
01:22:50,200 --> 01:22:52,800
Speaker 1: I'm ready to go. Come on here, Hey, I want

1171
01:22:52,800 --> 01:22:57,840
Speaker 1: to share something with you. I was I'm in Ghana,

1172
01:22:58,000 --> 01:23:03,960
Speaker 1: right and somebody sent me a Joel Oldstein's sermon and

1173
01:23:04,280 --> 01:23:07,360
Speaker 1: man on man, he was talking about how God is

1174
01:23:07,400 --> 01:23:13,560
Speaker 1: your source. And this was really really good for me yesterday.

1175
01:23:14,439 --> 01:23:17,719
Speaker 1: And it's an older sermon, but I really I watched

1176
01:23:17,760 --> 01:23:20,439
Speaker 1: it on YouTube and it was so powerful what he

1177
01:23:20,560 --> 01:23:22,840
Speaker 1: was saying, man, and it was Augustine, was a really

1178
01:23:22,920 --> 01:23:26,000
Speaker 1: really good reminder to me. And I thought maybe as

1179
01:23:26,000 --> 01:23:29,080
Speaker 1: a closer remark, it might be a reminder to you

1180
01:23:30,320 --> 01:23:34,840
Speaker 1: that he reminded us that God is your source. God

1181
01:23:34,960 --> 01:23:37,720
Speaker 1: is your source of all good things, all great things

1182
01:23:37,800 --> 01:23:40,560
Speaker 1: that happened in your life, all the blessings, all the

1183
01:23:40,680 --> 01:23:43,320
Speaker 1: measures of faith in favor that you get. They come

1184
01:23:43,439 --> 01:23:46,519
Speaker 1: from a place on high. Is your source. Now, people

1185
01:23:47,400 --> 01:23:54,439
Speaker 1: are resources, but they are contracts from God. God sends

1186
01:23:54,560 --> 01:23:58,960
Speaker 1: people into your life as resources to give your promotion,

1187
01:23:59,120 --> 01:24:01,640
Speaker 1: to give you some advice when a bank gives you

1188
01:24:01,760 --> 01:24:04,680
Speaker 1: the loan, when they grant you the consent for him,

1189
01:24:04,960 --> 01:24:07,880
Speaker 1: when they allow your contract to go through, when you

1190
01:24:08,040 --> 01:24:12,040
Speaker 1: finally make the sale. Those people that He uses to

1191
01:24:12,200 --> 01:24:16,920
Speaker 1: say yes to you, or resources for those people come

1192
01:24:17,479 --> 01:24:22,400
Speaker 1: from the source. The source is always God behind all

1193
01:24:22,439 --> 01:24:26,600
Speaker 1: the resources is the source. So be grateful for the resources,

1194
01:24:27,040 --> 01:24:32,280
Speaker 1: but keep your eyes on the source. Keep God first, man.

1195
01:24:32,479 --> 01:24:35,800
Speaker 1: God is the source of all things. When the door closes,

1196
01:24:36,760 --> 01:24:44,080
Speaker 1: the source remains the same. God is the source of

1197
01:24:44,400 --> 01:24:49,200
Speaker 1: my life. God is the source of your life as

1198
01:24:49,320 --> 01:24:51,920
Speaker 1: long as you invite him to be the source. Here's

1199
01:24:51,960 --> 01:24:54,439
Speaker 1: your source. But here's your source, whether you invite him

1200
01:24:54,520 --> 01:24:57,160
Speaker 1: or not. God does for you, gives you mercy and favor,

1201
01:24:57,240 --> 01:24:59,559
Speaker 1: whether you ask for it or not. But you need

1202
01:24:59,640 --> 01:25:04,400
Speaker 1: to realize that he's the source. How many times has

1203
01:25:04,520 --> 01:25:08,160
Speaker 1: God spoken to a person on your behalf. How many

1204
01:25:08,200 --> 01:25:10,160
Speaker 1: times I can't tell you how many times a person

1205
01:25:10,280 --> 01:25:14,200
Speaker 1: being just good to me I never even met the person. Hey, Steve,

1206
01:25:14,920 --> 01:25:17,080
Speaker 1: you know I'm a fan of yours. Man, let me
