Speaker 1 (00:00):
All right, guys, here we are, last break of the day.
That's been a good day. Thank you guys for listening.

Speaker 2 (00:08):
I want to my closing remarks is just basically thank
you to everybody who has supported the Steven Marjorie Harvey Foundation,
who was at the event last night, uh Benjamin Krunk
for speaking, all the female speakers, everybody that came, Kim

(00:31):
performing a special shout out to Junior for hosting. I
got some great reviews on Junior's hosting the event, and
I got a lot of calls and stuff about the
event and how effective the young people are who stood
up to speak. And you know, for me, that's what

(00:53):
it's really all about. You can feel how you want
to feel about me. But if if somebody can stand
up and say that my work, our work changed their life,
that our work gave them a mission, that our work
helped give them the keys to success, that I will

(01:16):
work propelled them to a level of greatness, that's really
all I care about. You know, some funny thing about
the internet, because it's not a lot about the gala
that was on the internet. When I do my program
this week, when Marjorie, I mean this year, when Marjorie
does her Girls Rule the World, and I do the

(01:38):
Boys Mentoring Camp. It's not gonna flood the internet. That
be not a whole lot of blogs picking it up
talking about it. It's not gonna happen. Now, let me
go out here and make a mistake. Let me go
out here and do something that's gossipy. Have a picture
of me walking in or out of a strip club.

(02:00):
Oh man, that'll make every blog I'll here be on CNN,
because that's all we care about. It's something that we
can sensationalize and then get on there and make comments about.
But if a person, and I'm not just talking about myself,
if a person is doing something good, how come we

(02:22):
don't ever? Why we don't blow that up? Why don't
we do that? And yesterday was a rough day for
me because I lost a friend yesterday. I had only
known this guy, this guy for about four years, and
I met him down in Barsville, Georgia, and he worked

(02:47):
on a technical crew. But as he was doing some
internet work for me on my ranch, I found out
that he fished. It's kind of late for me to
give him his flowers because he passed. But he was
thirty some years old. Man with two little boys eight
and ten and a beautiful wife, and he had some

(03:09):
type of a rare blood cancer and had gotten all
in his bones. And you know, I tried to help
in ways. You know, I don't want to get into that,
but I did what I thought was the right thing
to do. And his wife text me and said he passed.

(03:31):
And it ain't gonna be a lot of social media
about this dude. But let me tell you something about
the dude. He was a young white guy in his
thirties from Barnsville, Georgia, who met a group of all
black men. Some of my friends are seventy years old

(03:52):
today in the late sixties and seventies and have never
fished a day in they life. And because he and
I had a fishing relationship. After I learned that he
could fish, but he was doing some technical work around
my ranch, I asked him what he come when my
partners came to help him learn how to fish? Every

(04:12):
year he was there, wouldn't miss it, man, and he
looked forward to it. And he loved them dudes. A
young white dude was teaching a bunch of old black
men how to fish. Because it's fifteen of us I
couldn't teach everybody. He was just helping and he passed.
Ain't nobody gonna write about that. That he was a

(04:35):
Scout leader. His name was Scott, Scott Gallagher from Barsville, Georgia.
He was a Scout leader. He had two little boys.
This little dude, this boy could fish so good. I
just loved the guy. He passed. But he was just
a great human being. Man, just a great human being.

(04:56):
But they don't write about that. But they in cancer
and he died. I'm just taking my time just to say, hey, ma'am,
miss you. I love you. Man. Sorry, I couldn't do more.
But back to what I was also saying, we don't
glorify people for the good they do. We castraight people

(05:22):
for the wrongs they do. Oh man, we can't wait
to eat you up for making your mistake. But when
you're out here helping people and moving the way you
out there moving, and you out there doing stuff for
somebody that ain't even in your family, when you out
there celebrating people, ain't nobody got nothing to say about that.

(05:44):
So I just wanted to stop for a moment today
and say thank you for everybody. Now we're talking about
me now, for everybody that's ever made a contribution to
the Steven Marjorie Harvey Foundation, for every volunteer, for everybody
that's ever came down and spoke to anybody that's ever
cared man, thank you, thank you, thank you, Because here's

(06:08):
what I've always said. Your career is what you paid for,
but your calling is what you made for. I'm in
the calling phase of my life, and I thank God
for being that way. I thank Junior for hosting it
last night. I thank Benjamin Crump for speaking at it
last night. I think everybody who contributed in any way
that they can thank you and let the good work continue.

(06:32):
And y'all do me a favor. Rite about that sometime
right about that. Sometimes we talk to God today, love
to hear.
