Speaker 1 (00:00):
You know the way things are going nowadays, you know,
the election, the presidency, the economy. Are these new tariffs?
Are all these troops heading down to the border. Are
they getting rid of DEI? They're getting rid of the

(00:22):
sixty four civil rights bill? You know, really, of all
of the ones that's happening. You know, this civil rights
bill that's crazy. So you think it'd be best to
recee the fact that you all tried to make up
for all the wrongs that have been done by giving
some type of civil rights. Why is it that we

(00:45):
live in a country that can make a decision that
people of color should have civil rights? What happened to
your constitution that everybody has the right to the pursuit
of happiness? What happened to that? But you then told
us that we don't even have the right to civil rights,

(01:08):
that you no longer have to treat us in a
civil way. Get right on back to what America used
to do. Just stepping on folks.

Speaker 2 (01:18):
You know what.

Speaker 1 (01:20):
But what I'm not gonna do for four years on
this radio is complain. And I suggest everybody understands something.
Get yourself together. If you ain't ever had an attempt
to turn yourself into something. I think you better get
to doing it now. I'm not saying everybody got to
go out and open a business. That's not what I'm saying.

(01:40):
But I'm talking about really really get yourself together spiritually
and mentally. You have got to get yourself together spiritually
and mentally. You've got to develop the right attitude to
and do it this next four years, and you need
your spirituality to do it. Now. What kind of money
you make, that's up to you. What decision you make

(02:01):
about your income, that's up to you. You know, some
people are trying to figure out ways and how to
cut back. Other people are trying to figure out how
to make more.

Speaker 2 (02:12):
Now.

Speaker 1 (02:12):
The only thing with cutting back is now, I can
understand cutbacks. If you started to live beyond your means,
then you got to get back down within your means,
so it's not so stressful. But that's normally what happens.
Once you get outside of your means, you run the
credit cards all the way up, you find yourself totally

(02:34):
in debt and you're struggling to make your bills because
you've got too many bills. Then you know cutting back
might have to be a consideration for you or you
could be of the other mind said, if you're an entrepreneur,
I'm gonna make more money to deal with this, because

(02:54):
I heard somebody say to me one time. They said, hey, man,
why would I give back a blessing God gave to me.
I'm not cutting back nothing, I'm gonna go make more money. Well,
that's an entrepreneurial spirit. Everybody's not an entrepreneur. The majority
of people have jobs, and there's nothing wrong with that.
It's absolute. Some of the best people I've ever met
in my life are just hard working, job holding people.

(03:17):
Is nothing wrong with that. Man. My father was that,
so I've had nothing but a prime example of that. So,
whatever the case may be, you gotta get yourself mentally
prepared to deal with this. And the best way to
get mentally prepared is get your spirituality together.

Speaker 2 (03:34):
You know.

Speaker 1 (03:34):
I had to get up and watch an episode of
About Anxiety with Joel Oldstein this morning because I was
I didn't sleep well last night because I did what
I tell people not to do all the time. I
was worried about something I had no control over. But
I'm human, I'm human, and it was the last thing
I was thinking about and talking about last night. So

(03:55):
oftentimes that's the thing that will keep you up at night.
If you go to on the negative subject, you probably
gonna have some negative thoughts. And that's what happened to me.
But I had to get up this morning and cut
on Joel O's dein and I just said, I just
need an answer. And you know what anxiety is when
you're troubling and worrying yourself about something you have no
control over. And those two things are normally your future

(04:17):
or your past. And I was worried about something in
the future that I have no control over. But then
I had to remind my wife told me last night
on the phone. She says, Steve Harvey, take your own advice.
When God closes a door, when the door is closed
in your face, don't stand that beating on that door.
Walk up the hallway. There are more doors. Don't you

(04:42):
ever give nobody the power to think that, cause they
then shut a door in your face, that they got
control of your destiny. They are not the author or
the architect of my future. I have given that sole
control to God. So I had to remind myself, Steve Harvey,
walk up the hallway. They have no idea. They didn't

(05:05):
make me. There's no breaking me. There's none of that.
Stay on your journey, wake up on this radio in
the morning, and get back in the uplift business. You know,
I got an enemy out there, and they're in the
taaredown business, and I got to remember not to try
to combat that because I'm in the uplift business. My

(05:26):
enemy is in the tab people down business. I'm in
to try to improve people business. Why would I get
in the same business here trying to combat him when
clearly we stay. We play in two different leagues. And
I'm not really good at quoting rap records, but I
heard Jay Z one time say something to the effect
of we in two different leagues, Homie were shooting at

(05:48):
two different baskets. As a matter of fact, me and
you we pay two different taxes. Shoe statements say, hey,
y'all have a great day to day.

Speaker 2 (06:01):
We talk to God to day.

Speaker 1 (06:02):
Absolutely.
