Speaker 1: Today's show is pre recorded. Y'all know what time y'all
Speaker 1: don't know, y'all a suit on looking back to back down,
Speaker 1: giving them like theming bus bus things. And it's good.
Speaker 1: Steve has to mother start join you. Gotta gotta turn
Speaker 1: you gotta turn to turn them out. Got to turn
Speaker 1: them out, to turn the water the water. Come be,
Speaker 1: Come on your baby, huh, I sure will A good
Speaker 1: morning everybody. You're listening to the voice, Come on, dig
Speaker 1: me now one it only Steve Harley got a radio
Speaker 1: show today. I want to just share something with you
Speaker 1: along your way to wherever it is you're trying to
Speaker 1: get to. You know, everybody has a different definition for success,
Speaker 1: and I'm not. I'm not here to tell you what
Speaker 1: joy should be. I mean, please pursue whatever you think success.
Speaker 1: He is aim as high as you can though, that's
Speaker 1: for sure. My father used to say all the time.
Speaker 1: I'm sure you all have heard it in different variations,
Speaker 1: but he used to always say, aim for the moon.
Speaker 1: Just in case you miss, you'll still be amongst the stars.
Speaker 1: Just say that to me all the time. So that
Speaker 1: always was in me to aim high. Now he wasn't
Speaker 1: saying aim with the intent to miss. He was just saying,
Speaker 1: aim in case you miss, you're still amongst the stars
Speaker 1: if you aim for the moon. But if you just
Speaker 1: aim for that first flow winder and you miss it,
Speaker 1: you know, usually run into some type of wall and
Speaker 1: nothing happens. You slither down. You know. In my book,
Speaker 1: act like a lady, think like a man. I told
Speaker 1: her people that men love three ways. They profess, they provide,
Speaker 1: they protect, and that's the core essence of a man's love. Well,
Speaker 1: there's some other peas in life too. The number one
Speaker 1: thing you have to understand about trying to be successful,
Speaker 1: and I guess I call this the four peas. I
Speaker 1: may come up with five along the way. I don't know.
Speaker 1: I'm just talking as is given to me. So I'm
Speaker 1: gonna summer start by saying, as these are the four
Speaker 1: peas of success that you have to get ready for.
Speaker 1: Number one, it's pressure. A lot of it is applied
Speaker 1: by the circumstance of what you're trying to go for
Speaker 1: and what you're trying to do, but a lot of
Speaker 1: it also is self imposed pressure. It's what you put
Speaker 1: on yourself to make it. It's a sense of urgency,
Speaker 1: it's a sense of necessity. But pressure is the first
Speaker 1: thing I want you to be ready for. And pressure
Speaker 1: comes in a lot of different forms, but it's going
Speaker 1: to be pressured as an old saying that pressure buster pipe. See,
Speaker 1: that's why most people turn around because of the pressure
Speaker 1: of trying to be successful. I want you to get
Speaker 1: it in your mind that it is going to be
Speaker 1: a pressure rized situation on your rise to the top. Pressure,
Speaker 1: but understand that that it is what it is, is
Speaker 1: not going to change. That's it. Prepare yourself, get ready
Speaker 1: for there to be pressure. The second thing I want
Speaker 1: you to understand is when you receive this pressure, you
Speaker 1: have to persist. You got to stay at it. You
Speaker 1: got to develop a dog getness has a There's a
Speaker 1: song who says, why must I feel like that? Why
Speaker 1: must I chase the cat? Nothing but the dog in me?
Speaker 1: That's a funny line in that song, because really I
Speaker 1: was thinking about it one day. I was humming it
Speaker 1: and and and it, and it occurred to me, said,
Speaker 1: why must I feel like that? Why must I chase
Speaker 1: the cat? Nothing but the dog getting me? And you know,
Speaker 1: now you could take it in the literal says that
Speaker 1: the cat chases the dog because it's innately is in
Speaker 1: his spirit. That cats and dogs are a lot of
Speaker 1: times enemies. Now people have pets, and him proven that
Speaker 1: if you show love on both sides, they can exist.
Speaker 1: And that happens too. But naturally innately, when your cat
Speaker 1: goes by a dog, your dog don't recognize him. That's
Speaker 1: some barking going on. I'm talking I just walking through
Speaker 1: the neighborhood or something. So but the reason that this
Speaker 1: dog is so persistent towards this cat is just cause
Speaker 1: it's in him. It's innately in him. And what I'm
Speaker 1: saying to you, just using that as an analogy, is
Speaker 1: that you got to be you got to be persistent
Speaker 1: in that. You got to develop some dog in you
Speaker 1: now because pressure takes some fighting back. See if you
Speaker 1: don't fight back against pressure, pressure buster pipes, So what
Speaker 1: you think it will do to you? Pressure crack walls,
Speaker 1: pressure calls, explosions. So if you don't fight back to
Speaker 1: hold it in, you understand pressure does most people in
Speaker 1: the simple thing called pressure, the weight of what it
Speaker 1: feels like to want to be successful every single day,
Speaker 1: over and over and over and over and over. It's
Speaker 1: just too much pressure. People crack you got to persist.
Speaker 1: You have to persist. You can. The thought of giving
Speaker 1: up can come, but you got to get it out.
Speaker 1: You gotta persist. The next thing I want you to
Speaker 1: think about is another something that I've been thinking about
Speaker 1: for years and learn for years. It's called perseverance. To
Speaker 1: persist means to insist. Keyword in insist and persistence insists
Speaker 1: you must. You must insist that this is going to happen. Now,
Speaker 1: the persist I'm assuming means it's a proaction. It's some
Speaker 1: type of proaction. You go towards it to make it.
Speaker 1: You know, persist, You gotta be persistent. You gotta be
Speaker 1: constantly at insisting that it happens. You gotta be constantly
Speaker 1: at it. But the next thing I want you to
Speaker 1: remember is perseverance. Perseverance is important. Perseverance means that when
Speaker 1: you've done your best, when you've persisted, when you're fighting
Speaker 1: back against the pressure. Perseverance simply means I'm going to
Speaker 1: hang in here when if a crack come into pipe,
Speaker 1: I'm gonna hang in there. If the pipe bust, I'm
Speaker 1: gonna keep going. If I gotta put duct, take mud,
Speaker 1: whatever I got to put on this thing. Man I'm
Speaker 1: gonna use perseverance. I'm going to stay with it no
Speaker 1: matter what. So we're looking at the three things again.
Speaker 1: You got to understand that it's gonna be pressure that
Speaker 1: you're gonna have to persist. Keyword and persistence in insist.
Speaker 1: You have to insist that no matter what the pressure is,
Speaker 1: I'm gonna stay with it. But then perseverance if it
Speaker 1: goes wrong. Man, you got to get in there and
Speaker 1: keep fighting. But then Lord Him Mercy. Nothing helps you
Speaker 1: handle the three peas better than the fourth pea. You
Speaker 1: got to pray. You got to use prayer. You gotta
Speaker 1: talk to God. You gotta use faith. You gotta have
Speaker 1: some conferences with him late at night, early in the morning,
Speaker 1: in the middle of the afternoon, when you own the train,
Speaker 1: when you're driving. You got to talk to God. Man,
Speaker 1: you gotta get yourself some help along the way. Nothing
Speaker 1: is bigger than prayer. There is nothing bigger than prayer.
Speaker 1: Prayer will help you overcome the pressure. Prayer will help
Speaker 1: you stay persistent, and Lord Him Mercy, prayer will help
Speaker 1: you persevere. Them is the faux pas that just came
Speaker 1: to me today. God gave that to me. I'm passing
Speaker 1: it on you're listening show, ladies and gentlemen, boys and girls,
Speaker 1: let me have it undivided attention. It's the beginning, a
Speaker 1: new week, a new day, a new opportunity. Grateful to
Speaker 1: be here. Man. All of us that are listening today
Speaker 1: are surviving and actually doing rather well. I might add,
Speaker 1: if you think about it, Ladies and gentlemen, this is
Speaker 1: the quarantine version of the Steve Harvey Morning Show. Yo.
Speaker 1: We all locked into, all of us. We are all
Speaker 1: in separate locations. Now. Ain't nobody allowed to come into
Speaker 1: those studio? The radio Conglomerate or iHeart has passed out
Speaker 1: all the equipment, had engineers come to everybody's location and
Speaker 1: set them up. We're all plugged in all the way

Speaker 1: more than where you get a week from though, one
Speaker 1: more week where you get that time. I'm just saying,
Speaker 1: one more week. You must have been listening to Trump

Speaker 1: you must be. I won't. I won't custody then my keys.
Speaker 1: I won't custody my kids. That's what I want to limit.
Speaker 1: Tell you something. I'm so crazy, but you know why. Yeah,
Speaker 1: you ain't quarantine? Okay, of course I am. Okay, Well,
Speaker 1: when we come back, I guess we'll be talking about something.
Speaker 1: Steve Harvey Morning Show. This the quarantine Show, but we live.
Speaker 1: Donte of them must not be there. He must not
Speaker 1: be there. I'm sorry you're listening to show. Well, guys,
Speaker 1: the Corona virus pandemic has changed everything New York. Yeah,
Speaker 1: is that the epicenter of this disease. Governor Andrew Cuomo
Speaker 1: uh blast arrogant and sensitive New Yorkers who are not
Speaker 1: practicing social distancing. Some people just will not stay at home. Um. Also,
Speaker 1: governors in Washington, California, Ohio, Louisiana, and Illinois have implemented
Speaker 1: shelter in place orders. Republican Senator Ran Paul from Kentucky
Speaker 1: has become the first senator to test positive for COVID
Speaker 1: nineteen and now Utah Senator Meant Romney will self quarantine
Speaker 1: after exposure to the virus. President and his response to
Speaker 1: the news of Romney self quarantine said, too bad. Wow,
Speaker 1: so quick, real quick. If you want to see some
Speaker 1: sense in a press conference, watch any of these governors
Speaker 1: and mayors from any city. Yeah, from Como is New York. Boy,
Speaker 1: so much sense. I like presidential I like the boy Washington.
Speaker 1: I like the mayor of Los Angeles that I've been
Speaker 1: talking now. I watched Donald Trump on television yesterday doing
Speaker 1: his State of the speech, and he was doing okay,
Speaker 1: trying to give out of information. And somebody said to him,
Speaker 1: and he said, you know what, you know, look, it's
Speaker 1: hard to be a rich guy and be president. Oh Michael,
Speaker 1: he said, because a rich man, I've lost billions of
Speaker 1: dollars since I became president. Billions. But it's okay. I
Speaker 1: haven't taken my salary. Now. I make four hundred fifty
Speaker 1: thousand dollars a year. You know, that's a lot of
Speaker 1: money for anybody, even even for a rich guy. That's
Speaker 1: a lot of money. I haven't taken my salary. I
Speaker 1: was just listening to this dude, going, man, it's this
Speaker 1: dude for okay, But un did you hear him say
Speaker 1: that they helped people that have died before that have
Speaker 1: never died. There are people dying who have never died before.
Speaker 1: He said, this is whose specialty is definitely not public
Speaker 1: speaking now or leadership. Now, here's what's interesting. I was
Speaker 1: listening to the retired army general who got down there
Speaker 1: and took over in Contrite, and he was saying, this
Speaker 1: is what the United States should do for logistical purposes.
Speaker 1: All of the equipment should come through the Army because
Speaker 1: they know how to do logistics and get it to
Speaker 1: everywhere it needs to go. Because what's going to happen
Speaker 1: is these medical supplies become available and then certain cities
Speaker 1: go by all of them. Then they'll have all of
Speaker 1: them in another city. I have none. He say. Logistics
Speaker 1: comes into play where you know how to give out
Speaker 1: certain for so much time. So it's the apply come in.
Speaker 1: Everybody gets a two weeks supply, then at ten days
Speaker 1: you resupply everybody. And that's what he was saying, and
Speaker 1: he was making a lot of sense. Man, But he
Speaker 1: told the truth of what I've always said. We live
Speaker 1: in a capitalistic society. The problem we have is the
Speaker 1: people who can make masks, who can make shields, who
Speaker 1: can make robes, can make the test first have to
Speaker 1: know where they're going to get money from before they
Speaker 1: make these tests. And so now people are bidding these
Speaker 1: jobs and they're charging like a mask that will normally
Speaker 1: cost two dollars, he says, now costing six to eight
Speaker 1: dollars because they know they need them. They're not even
Speaker 1: two dollars. They eighty some sent normally. Well, I'm just
Speaker 1: saying what the guy was saying on TV, and which
Speaker 1: is crazy. And he says, and that's the capitalistic society,
Speaker 1: he says, but it works in America. But the reason
Speaker 1: a lot of this stuff is delayed, Number one, the
Speaker 1: trillion dollars bill they're supposed to be coming from the
Speaker 1: House and the Senate is not finished yet, and so
Speaker 1: the money to buy this stuff from the people who
Speaker 1: do have the supplies, it's slightly held up. And that's
Speaker 1: that's ludicrous. And to yesterday he dumped that on the Democrats.
Speaker 1: The Republicans are ready, We've signed, and he know good
Speaker 1: and well that's the last thing Republicans want to do
Speaker 1: is giveaway handout money. So it's a bipartisan bill, but
Speaker 1: it's being held up by a bunch of difference. And
Speaker 1: that's my takeover. But a h y'all, glad, y'all doing
Speaker 1: well and your families just doing well? Yes, man, Hey,
Speaker 1: you know what I'd like to know what everybody quickly,
Speaker 1: what's a good thing that has happened to you since
Speaker 1: you've been quarantined, Julia, Oh, Man, I've been reading and
Speaker 1: educating myself. Man, I'm seven highly successful havings of successful people. Man,
Speaker 1: it's a great great Tommy. I'm more tuned into what
Speaker 1: my son is doing, my eight year old, I'm more
Speaker 1: tuned in. I've never been tuned in into him. I'm
Speaker 1: watching him now. I'm watching what he does. Jay, before
Speaker 1: the lockdown, I'm stacked up on medicinal things that I need.
Speaker 1: I really wentn't got me enough. I haven't many anybody
Speaker 1: needs everything? Shut up, Jay, more family time. I was
Speaker 1: talking and being together, dinner together, all of that. Yes, surely,
Speaker 1: well you know I'll echo what Carla said for sure,
Speaker 1: more family time. Um, But I realized that I really
Speaker 1: needed rest. I really needed some rest for myself, just
Speaker 1: some me time, and I took that. I really needed
Speaker 1: that to clear my head, to get my body back,
Speaker 1: you know, healthy and every instrong body was gone, sir,
Speaker 1: and you know I was gone. I was gone, But
Speaker 1: you're still stupid. It hasn't changed. The thing that I
Speaker 1: focused and I've really started focusing on is my physical
Speaker 1: health because I work so much that I don't have
Speaker 1: the time for it sometimes. And now what I'm doing
Speaker 1: is I'm taking real time to really think about what
Speaker 1: my body needs. Nutrition rise at this age because how
Speaker 1: I used to be able to lose weight out don't.
Speaker 1: I can't do it anymore like that. And so I'm
Speaker 1: starting to fine tune my workouts, watch my meals. Ain't
Speaker 1: nobody in here with me and Marger. There no grandkids

Speaker 1: I'm great. I am so blessed, so blessed. We love
Speaker 1: you Jay, Happy all right, see, come on time to
Speaker 1: get caught up on today's ladies and gentlemen. Miss Anne Trip,
Speaker 1: thank you, thank you, and I'm going to miss Kenny
Speaker 1: Roger's chicken. He had a franchise that chicken was amazing. Anyway,
Speaker 1: This is Anne Trip with the news. Of course, the
Speaker 1: biggest story, pretty much is the only story. The coronavirus,
Speaker 1: the pandemic. The numbers keep changing, but at last looked
Speaker 1: there at least three hundred and twenty one thousand cases worldwide,
Speaker 1: with thirteen thousand, seven hundred and fourteen deaths. German Chancellor
Speaker 1: Angela Merkel's under quarantine because her doctor tested positive for it.
Speaker 1: In Spain, the number of deaths jumped by thirty percent
Speaker 1: and only one day this weekend to more than seventeen
Speaker 1: hundred and ten percent of those are healthcare workers. Spanish
Speaker 1: operatic ten or Po Plastido Domingo says he's tested positive,
Speaker 1: so he's in quarantine with its family. In the UK,
Speaker 1: there are now five thousand cases, Syria has its first
Speaker 1: confirmed case. In they're reporting some five hundred and sixty
Speaker 1: two deaths, and in Italy they are over fifty nine
Speaker 1: thousand cases. The death told in Italy a whopping five thousand,
Speaker 1: four hundred and seventy six people have died in Italy.
Speaker 1: Here in the US they're over twenty six thousand cases reported,
Speaker 1: with three hundred and twenty six deaths. Either difference in
Speaker 1: that it looks like President Trump finally doing with some
Speaker 1: state and city officials have been pleading with him to do.
Speaker 1: Though he's calling out the National Guard to help out
Speaker 1: in the three states hardest hit by the virus, and
Speaker 1: there's more. In addition to large quantities of supplies, I've
Speaker 1: also directed FEMA to supply four large federal medical stations
Speaker 1: with one thousand beds for New York, eight large federal
Speaker 1: medical stations with two thousand beds for California, and three
Speaker 1: large federal medical stations and four small federal medical stations
Speaker 1: with one thousand beds for the state of Washington. However,
Speaker 1: there are shortages in protective medical gear all over the country.
Speaker 1: FEMA's administrator, Peter Gainer, was on CNN State of the Union.
Speaker 1: I can say that the hundreds of requests from virtually
Speaker 1: every state in the Union looking for the same exact things,
Speaker 1: and it's just not the demand nationally, it's the demand
Speaker 1: globally for all these items. In fact, some nurses in
Speaker 1: England get this posted pictures of themselves online wearing trash bags,
Speaker 1: who work to cover themselves because they say they had
Speaker 1: nothing else to wear. They are now over twenty nine
Speaker 1: th COVID nineteen cases in New York State, three three
Speaker 1: hundred and seventy seven desks. And although Mayor to Blasio
Speaker 1: is no doubt grateful that President Trump's finally sending into
Speaker 1: national garden and medical supplies, his honors tell CNN he
Speaker 1: hopes the President doesn't forget about the people, do what
Speaker 1: Franklin Roosevelt did in the New Deal and actually put
Speaker 1: money in the hands of people and local governments and hospitals,
Speaker 1: not big corporations. Forget bailing out the airlines right now.
Speaker 1: Bail out the people, bail out the hospitals, bail out
Speaker 1: the cities and states and counties. And Blasio would also
Speaker 1: like to see the President actually activate the Defense Production Act.
Speaker 1: Is that way he could simply order companies to stop
Speaker 1: what they're making and begin producing things like ventilator's mask
Speaker 1: and other active year twenty four seven. That's what they do,
Speaker 1: you know, during wartime. Now back to the Steve Harvey

Speaker 1: But he loves you, loves you all right? Yeah, I
Speaker 1: love you the deaf boy. Ain't gonna let nothing happen
Speaker 1: to you. Do not particularly care for you. All right,
Speaker 1: here we go, Stephen Shirley, Yes it is. I grew
Speaker 1: up in a two parent home, and both of my
Speaker 1: parents earned college degrees and worked hard to provide a
Speaker 1: good life for me and my siblings. And I have
Speaker 1: a college degree as well. And I've been married for
Speaker 1: over twenty years to a great woman and we have
Speaker 1: two teenagers. My teenagers are well mannered and really smart kids.
Speaker 1: So here's my problem. I met my wife in college
Speaker 1: and fell in love with her, but I cannot stand
Speaker 1: her family. They are, for lack of a better term, ghetto.
Speaker 1: I must admit that as my kids grew up, I
Speaker 1: limited their access to my wife's side of the family,
Speaker 1: but I had to be careful so I wouldn't offend
Speaker 1: my wife. These people are Hood and they have a
Speaker 1: cookout for every occasion. They all live on the same
Speaker 1: street in five or six mobile homes, so they always
Speaker 1: are down to party, play cards, drink, get all loud,
Speaker 1: and act a fool. These kids are always part of
Speaker 1: their kids are always part of the festivities, and when
Speaker 1: my children were younger, my wife wanted our children to
Speaker 1: get to know their cud. That didn't last long because
Speaker 1: the Hood cousins started teasing my children about the way
Speaker 1: they speak and how they carried themselves. One of my
Speaker 1: sons will be graduating from high school soon and my
Speaker 1: wife has a party plan for him. She wants to
Speaker 1: invite her entire family to the party. That's in our
Speaker 1: community center, in our neighborhood. I have politely reminded her
Speaker 1: how much of a fiasco it might be, but she
Speaker 1: is dead sit on having her family included. I can
Speaker 1: already imagine a dice game jumping off by the pool
Speaker 1: if her uncle comes. I don't want to be disrespectful,
Speaker 1: but I need to put my foot down and set
Speaker 1: some ground rules. Stephen Shirley, how can I make this
Speaker 1: party work? Wow? Well? First, first, no alcohol. I have
Speaker 1: to say that, no alcohol, because that's when the stuff
Speaker 1: jumps off. No alcohol, okay, none, don't have any. They're
Speaker 1: gonna be mad. But you can't have any alcohol because
Speaker 1: they get that in them, and it's just no telling.
Speaker 1: You might want to have some security around, some playing
Speaker 1: close security, you know, let them mingle through the crowd
Speaker 1: and everything, because you know that's in case something does
Speaker 1: go down, you know. In the meantime, though, I gotta
Speaker 1: tell you this. I gotta tell you this. She gave
Speaker 1: us a lot of information in your letter. You know
Speaker 1: about you graduating from college. You and your wife have
Speaker 1: been together for twenty years. She's a great woman. You
Speaker 1: fell in love with her. Your kids are great, their
Speaker 1: hood cousins make fun of them and everything. I just say,
Speaker 1: in the meantime, this is a teenage party, you know.
Speaker 1: Remind people of that, so it should be okay because
Speaker 1: it's for the teenagers as long as a grown folks
Speaker 1: don't act a fool. The adults just have to behave
Speaker 1: You love your wife. You said that you love your wife.
Speaker 1: You fell in love with her, and you don't want
Speaker 1: to offend her, So please please be mindful of that.
Speaker 1: You know that these are her folks. She wants them
Speaker 1: to be included. She loves them, and really she wants
Speaker 1: them there. So I mean hood or not, ghetto or
Speaker 1: not as you call it, They're gonna. They're gonna be
Speaker 1: there because this is what the wife that you love wants.
Speaker 1: So no alcohol and a little bit of security might
Speaker 1: help you, steve. Well, how many minutes I got here
Speaker 1: before I get started on this. I just wanted to
Speaker 1: say that I completely and totally disagree with everything Shirley said.
Speaker 1: Your damn children need these people, Yes, they do. Try
Speaker 1: to give a damn both my parents and college degree.
Speaker 1: My mom and daddy ain't ever ain't My dad ain't
Speaker 1: even finished elementary school. My mama got a high school diploma,
Speaker 1: that's it. Ain't. None of my brothers and sisters been
Speaker 1: in no college. That's it. I went funk right out.
Speaker 1: I got a college degree as well. I've been married
Speaker 1: over twenty years. Everybody don't make it twenty years hip hip,
Speaker 1: hooray for you, partner. I'm just gonna tell him what

Speaker 1: More of the Steve Harvey Morning Show. More of this
Speaker 1: craziness coming up at thirty three minutes after the hour.
Speaker 1: Right after this. You're listening to the Steve Harvey Morning Show. Well, guys,
Speaker 1: the Corona virus pandemic has changed everything. New York, Yeah,
Speaker 1: is at the epicenter of this disease. Governor Andrew Cuomo
Speaker 1: blasts arrogant and sensitive New Yorkers who are not practicing
Speaker 1: social distancing. Some people just will not stay at home. Also,
Speaker 1: governors in Washington, California, Ohio, Louisiana, and Illinois have implemented
Speaker 1: shelter in place orders Republican Senator Ran Paul from Kentucky
Speaker 1: has become the first Senator to test positive for COVID nineteen.
Speaker 1: And now you taught Senator met Romney will self quarantine
Speaker 1: after exposure to the virus. President and his response to
Speaker 1: the news of romney self quarantine said, too bad. Wow,
Speaker 1: listen quick, that's say something real quick. If you want
Speaker 1: to see some sense in a press conference, watched any
Speaker 1: of these governors and mayors from any city. Romo is
Speaker 1: the beat j Como is out of New York, A
Speaker 1: big boy, so much sense. I like presidential. I liked
Speaker 1: the boy out of Washington. I like the mayor of
Speaker 1: Los Angeles that I've been talking now. I watched Donald
Speaker 1: Trump on television yesterday doing his State of Day speech,
Speaker 1: and he was doing okay, trying to give out information,
Speaker 1: and he said, you know, look, it's hard to be
Speaker 1: a rich guy and be president. I've lost pell of
Speaker 1: dollars since I became president, Billy, But it's okay. I
Speaker 1: haven't taken my salary. Now make four hundred and fifty
Speaker 1: thousand dollars a year. You know, that's a lot of
Speaker 1: money for anybody, even even for a rich guy. I
Speaker 1: was just listening to this dude, going, man, it's this
Speaker 1: dude for okay, But un did you hear him say
Speaker 1: that they help people that have died before that have
Speaker 1: never died. There are people dying who have never died before.
Speaker 1: This is a dude whose specialty is definitely not public
Speaker 1: speaking now or leaders. Now, here's what's interesting. I was
Speaker 1: listening to the retired army general who got down there
Speaker 1: and took over in Contrina, and he was saying, this
Speaker 1: is what the United States should do for logistical purposes.
Speaker 1: All of the equipment should come through the Army because
Speaker 1: they know how to do logistics and get it to
Speaker 1: everywhere it needs to go. Because what's going to happen
Speaker 1: is these medical supplies become available and then certain cities
Speaker 1: go by all of them. Then they'll have all of them.
Speaker 1: Another city I have none. He say. Logistics comes into
Speaker 1: play where you know how to give out certain for
Speaker 1: so much time so as to apply come in. Everybody
Speaker 1: gets a two weeks supply. Then in ten days you
Speaker 1: resupply everybody. All right, coming up, our last break of
Speaker 1: the day is the last break up the day. Wow,
Speaker 1: he said it right that time. You know what he's
Speaker 1: doing you know what he doing. Okay, come on Team Jay.
Speaker 1: All right, and some closing remarks from the one and
Speaker 1: only Steve Harvey the forty nine minutes after right after this,
Speaker 1: you're listening to show. All right, here we are our
Speaker 1: last break of the day, break up the day you're
Speaker 1: on today. I loved it. Yeah. Before we get out
Speaker 1: of your guys, before Steve does his closing remarks, we
Speaker 1: have to shout out truck drivers as well. We shout
Speaker 1: it out our medical workers and healthcare professionals on the
Speaker 1: frontline are grocery store workers, but truck drivers driving those
Speaker 1: double and triple shifts. Thank you guys, Thank you guys.
Speaker 1: All over the country they drive making sure that the
Speaker 1: grocery stores and the stores are stopped, their shelves are stopped. Soro.
Speaker 1: Thank you guys so much. We appreciate the purposes. Shout
Speaker 1: out on them on the front doing it getting it out.
Speaker 1: I want to, I want to. My clothes remark today
Speaker 1: is these are not my words. I'm going to read
Speaker 1: to you, uh, something that somebody sent to me to
Speaker 1: day from being or Gates and I thought it was
Speaker 1: just really really on point. So once again, these are
Speaker 1: not my words. I'm reading a message that Bill Gates
Speaker 1: sent out, and the subject is what is the Corona
Speaker 1: COVID nineteen virus really teaching us? These are Bill Gates's words,
Speaker 1: not mine. Everybody, he said, I'm a strong believer that
Speaker 1: there is a spiritual purpose behind everything that happens, whether
Speaker 1: that is what we perceive as being good or being bad.
Speaker 1: As I meditate upon this, I want to share with
Speaker 1: you what I feel the Corona COVID nineteen virus is
Speaker 1: really doing to us. Number one, it's reminding us that
Speaker 1: we are all equal, regardless of our culture, religion, occupation,
Speaker 1: financial situation, and how famous or how famous we are.
Speaker 1: This disease treats us all equally. Perhaps we should too
Speaker 1: if you don't believe me, Just as Tom Hanks. Number two,
Speaker 1: it is reminding us that we are all connected, and
Speaker 1: something that affects one person has an effect on another.
Speaker 1: It is reminding us that the false borders that we
Speaker 1: have put up have little value, as this virus does
Speaker 1: not need a passport. It is reminding us, by oppressing
Speaker 1: us for a short time, of those in this world
Speaker 1: whose whole life is spent in oppression. Number three, it
Speaker 1: is reminding us how precious our health is, and how
Speaker 1: we have moved to neglect it through eating nutrient poor
Speaker 1: manufactured food and drinking water that is contaminated with chemicals
Speaker 1: upon chemicals. If we don't look after our health, we
Speaker 1: will of course get sick. Number four. It is reminding
Speaker 1: us of the shortness of life, of what is most
Speaker 1: important to us to do, which is to help each other,
Speaker 1: especially those who are old or sick. Our purpose is
Speaker 1: not to buy toilet roll. Number five. It is reminding
Speaker 1: us how materialistic our society has become, and how when
Speaker 1: in times of difficulty we remember that it's the essentials
Speaker 1: that we need food, water, medicine, as opposed to the
Speaker 1: luxuries that we sometimes unnecessarily give value to. Number six.
Speaker 1: It is reminding us how important our family and home
Speaker 1: life is and how much we have neglected this. It
Speaker 1: is forcing us back into our houses so we can
Speaker 1: rebuild them into our home and to strengthen our family unit.
Speaker 1: Number seven. It's reminding us that our true work is
Speaker 1: not our job that is what we do, not what
Speaker 1: we're c not what we were created to do. Our
Speaker 1: true work is to look after each other, to protect
Speaker 1: each other, and to be of benefit to one another
Speaker 1: Number eight, it is reminding us to keep our egos
Speaker 1: and check. It is reminding us that no matter how
Speaker 1: great we think we are, how great others think we are,
Speaker 1: a virus can bring our world to a stand still.
Speaker 1: Number nine it is reminding us that the power of
Speaker 1: free will is in our hands. We can choose to
Speaker 1: cooperate and to help each other, to share, to give,
Speaker 1: to help, and to support each other. Or we could
Speaker 1: choose to be selfish, to hoard, to look after only ourselves. Indeed,
Speaker 1: it is difficulties that bring out our true colors. Number
Speaker 1: ten is reminding us that we can be patient or
Speaker 1: we can panic. We can either understand that this type
Speaker 1: of situation has happened many times before in history and
Speaker 1: will pass, or we can panic and see it as
Speaker 1: the end of the world and consequently cause ourselves more
Speaker 1: harm than good. Number eleven is reminding us that this
Speaker 1: can either be an end or a new beginning. This
Speaker 1: can be a time of reflection and understanding where we
Speaker 1: learn from our mistake, or it can be the start
Speaker 1: of a cycle which will continue until we finally learn
Speaker 1: the lesson we are meant to. Number twelve is reminding
Speaker 1: us that this earth is sick. It is reminding us
Speaker 1: that we need to look at the rate of deforestation
Speaker 1: just as urgently as we look at the speed of
Speaker 1: which toilet rolls are disappearing off of our shells. We
Speaker 1: are sick because our home is sick. It is reminding
Speaker 1: us that after every difficulty, there's always ease. Life is cyclical,
Speaker 1: and this is just a phase in this great cycle.
Speaker 1: We do not need to panic. This two shall pass.
Speaker 1: And finally, whereas many see the Corona COVID nineteen virus
Speaker 1: as a great disaster, I prefer to see it as
Speaker 1: a great corrector. It is meant to remind us of
Speaker 1: the important lessons that we seem to have forgotten, and
Speaker 1: it's up to us if we will learn them or not.
Speaker 1: That was a letter that was written by Bill Gates,
Speaker 1: and friend of mine sent it to me, and I
Speaker 1: just wanted to share with you all because Don seemed
Speaker 1: to sum it up so greatly about his views of
Speaker 1: the coronavirus, and I just felt the same way about it.
Speaker 1: You know, we should, We should all get hopeful about
Speaker 1: this situation, because one thing for shore, this two will pass.
Speaker 1: Nothing lasts forever. It's just you're gonna view your glass
Speaker 1: as half empty or half full. I choose to look
Speaker 1: at mine as half full. Those are my clothes. Remarks
