Speaker 1 (00:00):
All right, guys, here we are, last break of the day,
last break of the week on this Friday, Steve, I
know you have some words of wisdom out.
Speaker 2 (00:09):
I got some great closing remarks. You know. On this show,
what we try to do is always, you know, be
uplifting and encouraging, and we do that for the most part.
I'm really really proud of the Steve Harvey Morning Show
that we don't take our four hours of radio on
a daily basis and dedicate large portions of it to
(00:33):
the destruction of other people, to the demise of other people,
bringing down people in our culture are trying to destroy
the success of another brother or sister. We've taken special
care in that, you know, we don't even we don't
jump into the gossip and all like that. Everybody got
(00:54):
some tea on they show. Everybody got negative comments for
the most part, are uplifting. Now, if you've done something
to degrade women or hurt a woman on this show,
we will come to the defense of women and all
of us. Me and on that show, I'm proud to
say me, Tommy and Junior have always been proponents and
(01:15):
champions of women and the girls on the Ladies on
this show will attest to that. We don't let people
degrade our sisters in any way. And I've grown as
a person over the years to understand that it's better
to be a positive person than a negative person. It
just is it better serves you. And I'm talking to
(01:38):
a lot of young people now because there are so
many people out here in the business of clicks, likes, views,
and we'll do anything to get it, and it doesn't
matter who they hurt or what it costs, as long
as they think they can financially benefit. I'm here to
tell you that in the long run, that will not
(01:59):
pay off for you. I got news for you. In
the short term, it won't pay off either, because it's
just not the way we were designed or meant to
be towards one another. But because of this new thing
called cyberspace and the Internet, it has opened up the
floodgates for everybody, no matter how small or negative, who
(02:21):
has an opinion to put it out there. But what
you're really hoping is somebody else grabs it and it
becomes viral, because you yourself ain't big enough to make nothing viral.
But let me tell you this, young people, if you
spent the time in developing yourself and working hard to
become the best version of you. Do you have any
(02:46):
idea what that would serve you in the long run?
I know, man, this temporary joy that you might be
feeling for. Man, I got a whole lot of likes
in there. I told them off, it don't work, man,
it's not that way. I heard Billy Graham say something. Well,
let me before I say that, let me say this.
(03:06):
I'm very careful with who I take advice from. I
follow no man wholeheartedly. I take every man I meet
that I take advice from or I listen to. I
also feel to in the fact that they are human beings,
that they are subject to air and flaw, just like
the rest of us. Saw an interesting interview with Allen
(03:28):
Iverson's Classic Interview, and Allen Iverson was on that and
he was young at the time, and he was telling
the reporter, I'm just like y'all. I bleed just like y'all,
I cry just like y'all. I'm just like y'all. And
while they were up there just beating this dude up,
trying to tell him what they thought he could be
a better basketball player if he lived a different lifestyle.
(03:50):
He said, Hey, man, I know I made a lot
of mistakes, but y'all have made a lot of mistakes too.
I'm just like y'all, he said. The only difference is
I'm up here because I'm Alan Iverson and y'all back there.
And it is true, man, everybody's a person. Every every
minister is a human being. Every pastor is a human being.
(04:12):
They are subject to air, and they make mistakes and
they ought to be given the grace of it. Now
because of their title as minister, they're held to a
higher a higher standard, and I think you expect that,
and I guess that's natural to expect that because they're
in the leadership capacity when it comes to morality and spirituality.
But also watch everybody. So when you see a person
(04:32):
on Instagram and they always talking about somebody, you gotta
be careful of that, man. Just be conscious because that
ain't our job. Because I saw Billy Graham on TV
say something one time that really struck me. He said,
they were dogging him about sitting next to the Clintons
at this banquet one time. And after the Monica Lewinsky
(04:56):
thing had all came out and all these Christians were
attacking Billy Graham. How could you sit at the table
with that man and lend him your good name? While
you sit at that table, You know what Billy Graham
said that was so important. He said, God's job is
to judge. The Holy spiritual job is to convict. He said.
(05:18):
Jesus's job was to love. Our job as people is
to be more like Christ. He said, the problem is
that our people is trying to be all three things.
You're trying to judge, you're trying to convict, and you're
trying to love, and that ain't your job. Your job
(05:40):
is just to love. That's our only job. Our job
is not to judge. Our job is not to convict. Now,
if you go to court, we understand what the system is.
But too many times, man, we allow people to stand
in front of us and pass judgment on people when
they have no right to do that. You just don't
have that man to do that. You can't take your
(06:02):
pool pit, open up your church and just slam everybody
from your pool pit. That ain't right, man. I would
rather sit somewhere and listen to a person that's trying
to help me have a better life here on earth
and teach me how to just be a better person
and acquire some love and understanding on this earth. So
y'all be conscious. Everybody talking is a human being, and
(06:24):
as long as they're a human being, they have flaws.
Those are my clothes remarks. Hey, y'all have a great weekend. Okay,
talk to God. He'd absolutely love to hear from you. Okay,
y'all stay in peace now.
