Speaker 1 (00:00):
Here we are, last break of the day. This is
Easter Week, concluding on Sunday, with Resurrection Day tomorrow. Good Friday.

Speaker 2 (00:12):
It's good Friday, the same as Palm Sunday.

Speaker 1 (00:15):
No, that was last Sunday. Jesus rode in on the donkey.
That was Palm Sunday, So that was tomorrow.

Speaker 2 (00:25):
Never quite knew that story, never really knew that that
was your day, he wrote.

Speaker 1 (00:35):
In I was, yes, yes, yes, I just wanted a
real nice palm.

Speaker 2 (00:41):
I went around twice one time. Good. Hey, let's let
me let me let me say this for closing remarks.
You know, earlier a guy called in and was saying that, Steve,
you've been saying often that you've never had a if

(01:04):
you notice, you've never had a hater doing better than you.
And he said, I want to disagree, and you might
want to consider to stop saying that because of the
two people in the White House. He was referring to
Donald Trump and Eland Musk. He said, they're haters and
they're doing better than us are. Just for clarification, you're
free to think and feel however you want to feel

(01:26):
if you think they're haters. But what my statement was
really telling people is on a personal level. You You
will never have a hater that's doing better than you.
You see what I mean, And it's all the hate
that I'm talking about is on a personal level. When

(01:47):
you go up to that level right there, you're talking
about people who can pass policy, who can pass laws,
who can implement policy. That change is a sweeping change
across meny different platforms, and it would include.

Speaker 3 (02:02):
You heard them, They everybody. So you don't really have
a personal or relationship with either one of those people
in the White House, So I don't consider them haters.
They are a whole nother level.

Speaker 2 (02:19):
Man.

Speaker 3 (02:21):
But what I try to guard people against is the
people who can say or do something to you that
affects your mood, your position, and and the way you
go about your day because people allow. People allow some
people in their life to have an effect on their attitude,

(02:42):
their direction, and their decisions, and you shouldn't. Here's the
one thing I've learned about. I stop taking criticism from
people I wouldn't take advice from. I stopped that because man,
it's think about it. When you get hated on on
your job, when you get hated on in your family,

(03:04):
when you got what you thought was a friend who's
turning around hating on you. When you think about this,
it can be so nonproductive if.

Speaker 2 (03:16):
You give credence to it.

Speaker 3 (03:18):
If you allow a person to make a statement about
you and then it affects how you feel that day
and they're saying something negative about you, that that's a hater, Well,
you can control that. You have control of that, And
I'm employing everybody to get control of your life. Listen
to me. I have decided I have given no one permission.

(03:44):
I have given no one permission to control me, to
disgust me, and to affect me that I don't know.
You have no You have no permission. So when you
online and people commenting on your picture, your life, or
making comments in your comments section on your social media,
do you understand that there's people sitting around all day

(04:06):
and all they do is troll the internet to find
something to say something negative about. It's negative people that
wake up and you allowing this person who you don't
even know, affect you. I have several policies, Like number one,
I just told y'all, I said, I do not take
criticism from people I would not take advice from. I
also don't allow people's opinion of me who don't have

(04:31):
my cell number to affect me. I also have a
policy if I don't know you, that's probably a reason why.
So why would I give you permission to have a
level of importance in my life that would affect anything
in my day to day when you don't even know me.

(04:53):
Y'all take control of your life by not giving people permission.
You don't have to give a person permission. You don't
have to. Man, you could just do this to people.
You could just give them deuces.

Speaker 2 (05:10):
Bye. Look, man, it.

Speaker 3 (05:12):
Is such a freeing thing to be able to control
your life because all you got to do is control
the way you respond. Stop responding to people who don't
know you, stop responding to people who don't have your
cell number, and stop taking criticism from people you wouldn't
take advice from. If you could do those things right now,

(05:35):
you have taken back the control. You know. I use
this as not I've used this example all the time
about Martin Luther King. Martin Luther King said a person
can't ride your back unless you bend over. I don't
bend over. You're not climbing on my back because I'm
not bending over. I don't give you permission. God Almighty

(05:59):
is the architect and author of my destiny and my future,
where I'm headed and where I'm going. I have given
him total permission to guide me as you will. And
you ain't in that. You ain't in the scriptures. You
ain't in none of his promises. You ain't in none
of my.

Speaker 2 (06:19):
Hopes and dreams.

Speaker 3 (06:21):
Thank you for whatever you want to feel about me,
But as it has no effect on it. Ladies and gentlemen,
have yourself a great thing. Talk to God, because he
would love to hear from you.
