Speaker 1 (00:00):
Here we are last break of the day, Steve. This
time is for you to just leave us with something
we can go through the rest of the day with
with your closing remarks and what do you have for
us today, sir.

Speaker 2 (00:12):
Well, you know, just something I've had to learn. But
I have to constantly, constantly remind myself of it all
the time. And that is something that Bishop Kenneth Olman talking.
He taught me something that I was going through. Something
I was being attacked, I thought, rather unfairly with a

(00:35):
bunch of vicious lies. And what I was about to
do was I had a plan of a counter attack.
I'm gonna go I'm gonna say something. I'm gonna set
the reconstrate. Bishop Olma called me just in the nick
of time. I was about to make a call to
a reporter. I was about to make a call to
a reporter. I was about to just set to reconstrate,

(01:00):
and Bishop Alma says something to me that changed my direction.
He says, Steve, stay on the wall. Stay on the wall.
It's actually a scripture. I don't know which one it is,
but it's something to the effect of stay on the wall.

Speaker 3 (01:16):
But what he explained to me was very simple.

Speaker 2 (01:20):
You are in a certain position in life. God has
allowed you to climb, endu them, overcome, survive and thrive.
At a certain point in life.

Speaker 3 (01:40):
When people beneath you.

Speaker 2 (01:43):
Start throwing rocks up at you, When people on the
floor start attacking you, say and stuff about you that
ain't true, it is in your best interest to stay
on the wall. Do not climb down off the wall
to address this small stuff. When God has put you

(02:06):
up there on the side of the hill. You halfway
up the mountain, but you're gonna come back down to
the bottom of the mountain because somebody was hauling insults
up there. So now you come all halfway back down
the mountain to address them. Why now you got to
go all the way back up there when all you
had to do, Steve Harvey, was stay on the wall.

Speaker 3 (02:27):
When all you had to do was stay on that
side of the mountain that God.

Speaker 2 (02:31):
Had allowed you to get to, get on that plateau
and take yourself a rest.

Speaker 3 (02:35):
But stay on the wall, stay on the mountain side.

Speaker 2 (02:38):
Don't come off to address these people that's throwing rocks
at you. Drake and Meek decided to quit coming off
the wall. It makes no sense, Cardi B and Nicki Minaj.

Speaker 3 (02:54):
You're on the wall.

Speaker 2 (02:56):
Why do you keep getting off the wall to address
these They'm all minded matters and people. I'm telling you, man,
just because you famous don't make you the smartest people
in the room. We're not just because we're famous people.
We make mistakes too, because guess what, famous people happen

(03:18):
to be human beings. They just got more people know
they face, they know yours. They not no better than you.
They're not smarter than you. They're not kinder than you,
they're not deeper than you. It's none of that. They
may have seen a few more things, been a few
more places. But guess what if you don't adjust your

(03:40):
thinking and you keep coming down off the wall, don't
those rich, wealthy, famous people look real common to you?
And don't it kind of make you just a little
bit of shame sometime when you look over there and
you see somebody that you clearly know that God has
blessed and allowed to get to a certain position in life.
And don't it's sicken you just a little bit when

(04:02):
you look over that and they back down off the wall,
acting like somebody that ain't never been.

Speaker 3 (04:06):
Up on the wall.

Speaker 2 (04:08):
I don't want to be that person. Nicki Minaj, really
don't want to be that person.

Speaker 3 (04:13):
Cardi b.

Speaker 2 (04:14):
You don't really want to be that person because we're
just defeating the purpose of climbing anyway. You can't climb
the wall or the ladder and keep getting off every
time somebody throw a rock.

Speaker 3 (04:29):
Catch.

Speaker 2 (04:30):
At one point in time, you got to keep your
foot on the ladder and keep climbing. At one point time,
you just got to stay on the wall, quit coming
back down. The best lesson I learned was not to
address everything that's said about me. Do you know how
much stuff get said about me man that I could
easily straighten out.

Speaker 3 (04:47):
I don't even take the time too straighten it out,
because I what what.

Speaker 2 (04:53):
I'm on a mission. God got me on a mission.
God got you on the mission. God trying to you
know you something man, and God can't show it to you.
If you're gonna keep acting regular, Why would God do
something extraordinary for you? If you just want to be ordinary?
Why would God give you more? If you ain't appreciative

(05:14):
of what you have? Why would God take you high?
If you keep climbing back down? Just ask yourself that
So one of the things I had to come away
with quick coming off that wall to address stuff. And
that's what I want everybody to consider today.

Speaker 3 (05:34):
And sometimes let famous people be your example.

Speaker 2 (05:38):
And one of the great examples was over this weekend,
Drake and Meek Meal, they hugged, they squashed the beef.
It's plenty money for everybody. Drake not gonna get it all.
Meet not gonna get it all. Carle ain't gonna get
it all. Nicki Minaj ain't gonna get it all. Steve
Harvey ain't gonna get it all. Ain't nobody gonna get
it all. It's plenty for everybody. Make your money, stay

(06:01):
on the wall, live your life as a righteous person,
do the best you can, stay prayed or because we
all gonna fall short of the glory at the end.
All right, those are my clothes remarks. Why you ain't
say Steve Harvey ain't gonna get it all the time
you didin't gonna get it out?

Speaker 3 (06:18):
Why you ain't say that? I didn't. I didn't want
to compare me and you, but we're a good comparison.
This is such an obvious one. It doesn't really drop
the mic. Steve, you ain't never see Never Shut Up.
