  Speaker 1: All right, guys, here we are last break of the day.
• 0:02
  Speaker 1: Thank you to our Steve Harvey Nation for always riding
• 0:06
  Speaker 1: with us. We appreciate you so much. We love you, Steve.
• 0:10
  Speaker 2: I know my close remarks today is because I want
• 0:16
  Speaker 2: to say something to public figures, I being one of them,
• 0:21
  Speaker 2: you all being one of them, and I just want
• 0:24
  Speaker 2: to remind you of some things that we have to
• 0:28
  Speaker 2: constantly be aware of. And because of social media, everybody
• 0:33
  Speaker 2: has to be aware. Now. It used to just be
• 0:37
  Speaker 2: for the famous, but no, because of social media, because
• 0:41
  Speaker 2: you can post anything you want and you can comment
• 0:45
  Speaker 2: on any post you want. When you're famous and you're
• 0:49
  Speaker 2: in the public eye and you make a public comment
• 0:53
  Speaker 2: or statement, you have to be ready for the scrutiny,
• 0:58
  Speaker 2: the ridicule, the critics, anything you got. You gotta expect
• 1:03
  Speaker 2: it all because you are a public figure and you
• 1:06
  Speaker 2: made the statements publicly. Now, when you make a mistake publicly,
• 1:13
  Speaker 2: as I have, and I have made some major mistakes
• 1:17
  Speaker 2: in my life, you all have bore witness to a
• 1:20
  Speaker 2: lot of them. I mean, man, and social media don't
• 1:25
  Speaker 2: let you forget. They don't let you forget every now
• 1:28
  Speaker 2: and then you could be doing something else, and they're there.
• 1:30
  Speaker 2: Are you think we forgot about when you said the
• 1:32
  Speaker 2: wrong name and miss Universe with your stupid blankety blank. No,
• 1:38
  Speaker 2: I'm not a stupid person, So that goes in one
• 1:42
  Speaker 2: ear and out the next. I made a mistake. It
• 1:44
  Speaker 2: is what it is. I explained it to the young
• 1:47
  Speaker 2: lady that I made a mistake with Miss Columbia. I
• 1:50
  Speaker 2: apologized to her father and I and I didn't do
• 1:53
  Speaker 2: anything publicly until I said it to her. I made
• 1:58
  Speaker 2: a lot of mistakes. I remember one time this gentleman
• 2:01
  Speaker 2: called in and he was berating me about something. We
• 2:03
  Speaker 2: got into an argument back and forth, and then he
• 2:06
  Speaker 2: said he was from Flint, and then I made I'm
• 2:09
  Speaker 2: just messing with him, So I made something about the
• 2:11
  Speaker 2: water he drinking. Well, they ate me alive for that,
• 2:15
  Speaker 2: and I took it. But I came on the radio
• 2:17
  Speaker 2: and I apologized because I made a mistake and I
• 2:21
  Speaker 2: shouldn't have said it that way because a lot of
• 2:23
  Speaker 2: people in Flint were suffering. So I made a mistake,
• 2:26
  Speaker 2: so I had to apologize. And then after that I
• 2:29
  Speaker 2: sent a bunch of water to Flint to try to
• 2:32
  Speaker 2: make good. Because I'm not a mean spirited person. I
• 2:35
  Speaker 2: just I should have said it. But when you are
• 2:38
  Speaker 2: a public figure and you make a mistake, you got
• 2:41
  Speaker 2: to take ownership. You have to take ownership because look, man,
• 2:46
  Speaker 2: the public we are especially blacks, because once again we
• 2:51
  Speaker 2: are the group of people who are responsible for the
• 2:55
  Speaker 2: actions of one another. We are held to a different
• 2:59
  Speaker 2: code of ethic, a different set of morals, a different
• 3:02
  Speaker 2: set of expectations by one another. Because so very few
• 3:05
  Speaker 2: of us slip through the cracks to reach a level
• 3:08
  Speaker 2: of prominence that those that help support us get there,
• 3:14
  Speaker 2: they feel a part of the journey, or they feel
• 3:16
  Speaker 2: like you're on something. Now. Is it always fair? No,
• 3:18
  Speaker 2: it's not, but it is what it is. And you know,
• 3:22
  Speaker 2: of late, we've watched a lot of famous people say
• 3:25
  Speaker 2: some stuff and I feel for these people because they
• 3:31
  Speaker 2: don't understand. But you have to take accountability. You know,
• 3:36
  Speaker 2: my brother Stephen a smith man. You know the difficulty
• 3:43
  Speaker 2: in watching him try to I don't even know if
• 3:48
  Speaker 2: he's trying to fix it, but to explain it. My
• 3:53
  Speaker 2: best advice to anybody is you got to take accountability.
• 3:57
  Speaker 2: My approach to this whole thing would have just been
• 3:59
  Speaker 2: to say, hey, you know what, I messed up? You're right.
• 4:02
  Speaker 2: I made some mistakes. I owe somebody an apology. I
• 4:06
  Speaker 2: would have started with them, sisters. I would have just
• 4:09
  Speaker 2: made it and just say, look, man, y'all forgive me.
• 4:11
  Speaker 2: Charge it to my head, not to my heart. I
• 4:14
  Speaker 2: blurted it out, I was out of line. Blah blah
• 4:16
  Speaker 2: blah blah blah, and then and then begin to work
• 4:19
  Speaker 2: your way back. But I don't know that when you
• 4:24
  Speaker 2: make statements and uh, deal hugely, who is my dear brother?
• 4:29
  Speaker 2: Of course deal hugly said, what black person has to
• 4:34
  Speaker 2: explain that they were raised in a black family? You
• 4:39
  Speaker 2: know what? That's true? And Shirley says something off the
• 4:43
  Speaker 2: air we were talking that was so funny and she
• 4:47
  Speaker 2: was so serious, because Shirley said she gets tired of
• 4:51
  Speaker 2: being disparaged as a black woman. Carl has said the
• 4:54
  Speaker 2: same thing. She gets tired of seeing black women get
• 4:58
  Speaker 2: raked over the colds, and then if it's from a
• 5:02
  Speaker 2: black man, it hurts even more because man, black women
• 5:06
  Speaker 2: do so much to hold it together for so many
• 5:10
  Speaker 2: people behind the scenes. And Shirley says something, when you
• 5:15
  Speaker 2: say you were raised bout black women, we all got mothers.
• 5:21
  Speaker 2: Shirley said, pimps got mamas, and that was so funny
• 5:27
  Speaker 2: because pimps got mamas, but they still drug dealers got mamas,
• 5:32
  Speaker 2: but they still deal drugs. My mother was a save
• 5:36
  Speaker 2: born again Christian Holy ghost Field five baptized Pentecostal Sunday
• 5:42
  Speaker 2: school teacher. You know how much I did counter to
• 5:47
  Speaker 2: everything she taught me. I counted everything she told me.
• 5:53
  Speaker 2: But you gotta take accountability, and we gotta do better
• 5:56
  Speaker 2: by these sisters out here. Man, we as black men,
• 6:00
  Speaker 2: have an obligation to stand up and uphold our sisters
• 6:05
  Speaker 2: that are in these high positions. You can't be a
• 6:07
  Speaker 2: man in another high position. And then five these sisters
• 6:11
  Speaker 2: that's got high positions and you showk file at that. No, really,
• 6:15
  Speaker 2: they don't deserve it. They deserve better. We have to
• 6:19
  Speaker 2: do more except that own up to that part. And
• 6:23
  Speaker 2: let's get on with it now. If you ain't gonna
• 6:25
  Speaker 2: do that, good luck to you. Good luck to you.
• 6:28
  Speaker 2: It's gonna be a rough ride back. Well, y'all have
• 6:31
