Y'all know what time of y'all don't know, y'all back all suit on, back to back down, giving them more like theming buck bus things in its tubby good it. Steve Hart listening to the movie Together for Stuart had Please don't join joined me, be doing me. Honey, you gotta turning, you gotta turn the turnow, got to turn out, turn the water, the water go. Come come on your back. Uh huh, I shall will. Good morning everybody, y'all listening to the voice, come on dig me now one it only Steve Harvey Man got a radio show. Real glad about it too, you know. Um, I hope that God always keeps me in the frame of frame of mind to try to be sharing and try to be motivational and up even when it's not felt or wanted by some people. I have people around me who seem to not benefited off anything, and I can sit with them and talk to them or take meetings with them to try to encourage them, and for whatever reason, you know, they want to just keep going the way they're going. When you run into people like that, you have to pray for them. You have to just hope that one day that they release the chains on their mind and open up your mind to a new way of thinking. A couple of things I wanted to go over with it. I want you to all today in terms of motivation. I want you to be aware of statements or old sayings that have been created that you hear over the course of time, and you may be applying them to your life. And I want you to be careful of some of them because some of these old sayings, man, are not designed for people who are dreamers, are not designed for people who have any aspirations of being extraordinary. These are not designs or sayings that people who want to be extremely successful at anything or have high aspirations to put these sayings into your life. Let me give you an example. Statistics say that's it. That's the one who want you to be careful about statistics, say be very careful of stats. When a person says, you know statistics, say one out of every what see, listen to me. These are things that sound like they're good, sound solid advice, but they're setting you up for failure. And you can't adhere yourself to a lot of these sayings that's been passed down from generations and it's not scripture. It ain't in the scripture nowhere that statistics say. It's just some people, and a lot of people who have lost have come up with these sayings to justify why they keep losing or why they lost. When I was arst got started in the business, there were more stand ups around now than it is today because the comedy boom in eighty four eighty five was it was gaining a lot of momentums, comedy clubs, comedy nights everywhere. The statistic that a guy told me I told him I wanted to be on the Johnny Carson Show, the Tonight Show. The guy said, one out of every two thousand comedians ever make it to the Tonight Show. Okay, Now, when he told us that, some of the comedians in the room went, well, wow, man's oh that's rough. Because a guy had also said that there was approximately six thousand comedians in the country at that time. I don't know if it was true. I'm just telling you guy, without the sputing numbers, I have no idea how many it was. But he said one in every two thousand will make it to the Tonight Show. And he let the air out of everybody in the room button be so every night before I went on stage, I used to do this right here. But bad Bada la la la da. Bad bad Bada la la la da. That was the tonight theme song. I was young, opening act know where near Hollywood, didn't. I was in Cleveland telling jokes at one nights. But that was my thing because I was bent and determined that if it's one in two thousand, okay, why don't I just be the one? Be careful when people say statistics say because they are set up to ful failure. If you're gonna adhere to him, see that one in so many? It was wasn't so many people win the lottery. But if you don't play the lottery, you ain't gonna be the one to hit. Now when the dude hit you go while he was lucky, but he played. Here's another one. Maybe it's not meant to be right. Let's go one step further. I guess it wasn't the Lord's will. Don't you dare blame God for something you may have not done yourself because you didn't get the proper education, because you didn't do the things you were supposed to do, because you didn't stay to the task because you quit, turned around and with the other way. Now, maybe it's not It wasn't the lord's will. These are all statements that sound like sound advice, but they ain't all the time, got nothing to do with you. Stop letting these old fogy sayings get in your way of what can happen in your life. Don't put all your eggs in one basket? Wow, who came up with this? Who came over with the If you don't pour all your efforts into one thing, how are you gonna be great at that one thing? If Kobe Bryant, Michael Jordans, Magic Johnson, Larry Bird had not played basketball sun up to sundown. Magic Johnson didn't go to Michigan to get an education. Lad Burry didn't go to Indiana to get an education. These casts was bawling. Michael Jordan didn't go to North Carolina get an education. They went to play ball. They went to do one thing. Tiger Woods didn't go to Stanford to get an education. He went to play golf. Soon as he got good enough, he'd gone. These are guys that put all their eggs in one basket. See what's cool with putting all your eggs in one basket. Is you now can maximize your effort and laser beam what you're doing. Your problem is all you gotta do is make sure what is your basket made out of. If your basket is made out of faith, hope, hard work, and belief, then guess what, that's a good basket. I'm dumping all mine in it because ever since I was a young dude, I've been telling jokes. One thing, one thing only. Even when he got ugly and I was living in a car, I never quit telling them jokes. Man. I just kept believing that them jokes was gonna pay me one day, and I'll be dog gone if it didn't. I ain't take no time off. Go work at Walmart, give me a job, go back to Forward and beg for my job back. Hey, man, put all your eggs in a basket. Just make sure that your basket is made up of faith, hope, belief, hard work. Your basket woven by God. What you're tripping for, you're defeating yourself. Where is your faith? Where is your belief? Where is your trust? At one point in time, you got to believe that God could do what he say gonna do, because he didn't done it for others. He'll most certainly do it for you. Be careful of these sayings that's out here, that's aligned by losers and people to justify why they are not succeeded. Don't apply this stuff to your life. And it ain't got nothing to do with you. You're gonna mess yourself up. All right, Okay, you're listening. Show, ladies and gentlemen may have your attention. Pleaser, Steve Harvey Morning Show is about to begin.

After that comment, okay and other entertainment news, Drake received not one, but two rings celebrating the Toronto Raptors twenty nineteen NBA Championship win. One ring is the official NBA Championship ring. It was awarded to the team on Tuesday at the opening night ceremony. The other one is a commission piece from Jason of Beverly Hills, who use thirty carrots of diamonds to make a championship ring that shines just a little harder than all the rest. The celebt jeweler told TMZ that Drake had to fly me to the Turks and Caicos for an emergency design meeting the Real Team emergency, I know, an emergency designing. Okay, when you got it like that?

I'm telling you all right. See, time to get caught up on today's headlines, ladies and gentlemen, miss and trip trip. No, thank you very much, everybody, and good morning. This is answer of the news. President Trump has lifted these sanctions he imposed on Turkey now that Ankara has agreed to a cease fire in northern Syria. And President Trump's not shy about who made it happen. This was an outcome created by US, the United States, and nobody else, no other nation. Very simple, and we're willing to take blame, and we're also willing to take credit. Of course, Turkey's act attacks on that area only started after President Trump announced the pull out of American troops. The White House says that the US will be monitoring the implementation of the agreement is between Turkey and Russia to jointly patrol that part of Syria, the part currently occupied by Kurdish military forces once again, though Trump says he's lifting sanctions that he placed on Turkey. Meanwhile, on Capitol Hill yesterday, some twenty Republican lawmakers broke House rules and stormed into a closed door committee meeting involving the impeachment inquiry. According to committee rules, the only people allowed into such hearings are the lawmakers serving on the panels, and there, of course are Democrats and Republicans on all the panels. In fact, one of the congressmen, though on the targeted panel, California's Eric Swawell, suggests that his GOP colleagues may have actually been panicked over Tuesday's testimony by the top US envoy to Ukraine, William Taylor, because Taylor said that Don Trump was trying to force Ukrainians to dig up dirt on Joe Biden and his son in return for promised military aid. The tactics are a response to just damaging and pulverizing testimony, but they will not stop us and pursuing the truth. Democrats say closed door statements are necessary at this point in order to keep witnesses from coordinating or copying or shaving their testimony. In Phoenix, a white cop has been fired after being seen on cell phone video threatening to shoot a young black man, his fiance, and his two young children after stopping their car and accusing them of stealing a doll from a local dollar store. Turns out that the couple's four year old daughter picked up the do as they walked out of the store, and they didn't notice with all the groceries and other items they had bought that day. The mayor of Phoenix has issued a public apology to the family and the officer involved. A guy named Christopher Meyer has been fired. A white cop in New Mexico has resigned after being seen on body can throwing an eleven year old black girl up against a wall and wrestling the child to the ground, making the initial excuse that the eleven year old girl was stronger than he was. And now former cop Zachary Christensen had been called to the middle school to resolve a dispute between the child and the principle no word, and whether that principle a white man also was overreacting by feeling the need to call cops on an eleven year old black child. A grand jury in Boston has charged seven coaches and administrates with conspiring to commit mail and wire fraud. Prosecutors accused them of accepting bribes to secure the admissions of wealthy kids to elite universities, designating them as top athletic recruits in sports. They didn't even play. New charges carrying a maximum sentence of twenty years in prison, but you know, if convicted, they're expected to spend much less time than that.

Okay, we could be reading your letter live on the air, just like we're gonna read this one right here, right now, Junior, Yes, we are right now. It's time for the Strawberry Letter with my good friend Shirley straw By. Thank you, Junior, Dear Steve and Shirley. While the subject adding insult to injury, Dear Stephen, Shirley. I got a divorce four years ago, and I gave myself time to heal so I would not go into a new relationship with baggage. A year ago, I met a great guy and we fell for each other quickly. He paid all of my bills and he was super attentive to my needs. We went on two lavish trips and he promised me that we would travel the world together. He attended my church often and we prayed together. This man was so good he even did most of the cooking. He told me that he was staying with his brother only so he could save money to buy his first home. Everything was just perfect until a year ago, when my life got turned upside down. I got a call from my boyfriend's brother to tell me that my boyfriend was in an accident at work and he was rushed to the hospital and is in I see you. I frantically rushed to the hospital to see my boyfriend. When I got to the hospital, his brother stopped me in the waiting area. My heart sank because I thought I was too late. Instead, his brother told me that I could not go see my boyfriend because his wife was in I see you with him. I was like, what in the hacker you talking about? There was no way he's married. I was shocked and confused. I really wanted to bust up in there to see this wife of his, but his brother made sure I didn't. I wanted my boyfriend to see how hurt I was, and I wanted his wife to know that I should be in the room, not her. Now that I've had a few days to think things over, I planned to go back to the hospital to talk to his wife and let him know that I had no idea he was married. It would be best to do it while he's lying there and can't say much. Do you think I'd be wrong? If you think there's a better way to handle it, let me know. Well, yes, I think you would be wrong. Huh. I was reading the letter. I think I think you gave it wrong time. What you mean, I think you said a year ago? I got I got a divorce four years ago. Oh oh, I said, Oh, I'm sorry, I may have. Everything was just just perfect until a week ago. Did I say a year ago? There are you saying? Well, right, he met her a year ago? I mean I mean a girl met him a year ago. A year ago, I met a guy. Yeah, yeah, yeah, a year ago I met a guy. Yeah, And everything was just perfect until a week ago. Everything was perfect until a week ago when my life got turned upside down. Okay, she got a call from his brother and her boyfriend had been in a terrible accident. He's in the ICU, and she wants to know. Do you think I'd be wrong to go to the hospital and talk to his wife and talk to him while he can't say much. If you think there's a better way to handle it, let me know. And I'm saying, yeah, I think you'd be wrong if you bust it up in the hospital like you want to do. You know you're gonna have to let this go, really you are. I mean, there's nothing you can do about this if he's married. These are the kind of things that you know can happen if, like you say in the letter, you fall for each other quickly. When you do all this falling very quickly, you don't take the time to find out anything about him, to get to know this person. I mean, surely there were some kind of signs. I get it. He was at church with you, he prayed with you. You guys, went on these lavish trips. You know, he wanted to travel the world together with you, and you know, and all this stuff that could fool you because he spent so much time with you. I get it, But remember you guys, you know, got together quickly. But what you can't do. You cannot go and to this, you know, up to this man's wife and ruin her life. I mean, this is not your place. It's her husband's place. To tell her all this. Why his brother called you, I'll never know, to let you know this and then to stop you at the hospital. That's very confusing. I get all of that. But this wife is going through enough right now with her husband in ice, you sick in the hospital. She's done nothing to you. You gotta think of it that way. I know you're angry. I know you're upset. You want to get back at him. You want the wife to hurt, you want them to feel the pain you're feeling. But I just think the better way to handle this sitition, right into the situation right now is just to leave this family alone. Just leave this family alone right now. You gotta just leave it alone. You don't want to tell his wife, you don't want to do that anyway. I just think you should leave it. This is You're gonna have to chalk this one up. Steve. Wow. Well, I agree with what you said, Shirley. I do, but I'm not sure that I understand. Well, I do it all right, let me just help you with this part. I met a guy a year ago, fail of each other, went on trips with the church together. Prayed. Man was so good he even did most of the cooking. Now here's a part. He told me that he was staying with his brother only so he could save money to buy his first home. This could be a true fact. He could actually been staying with his brother. The fact that he got in an accident and got rushed to I see you. His brother called you because you his girl. You get to the hospital, he stops you, tell you you can't go in there to scene because his wife in there. All right, hold you understand the problem we got. We come back. I'm again. Yeah, we'll cap part two if Steve's response coming up at twenty three after the hours, subject adding insult to injury. We'll be back right after this. You're listening, all right, Steve, Come on, let's recap today's letters, subject adding insult to injury. Divorce lady stayed off the dating scene for four years. Get herself together. Make sure she didn't have no badgy baggage. Met this really wonderful guy. Superintendent paid all the bills. They went on two lavish trips He promised her that day was going to travel the world together. He attended church with me often, we prayed together. This man so good, He did most of the cooking. He told me he was staying with his brother so he could save money by his first house. Everything seemed perfect till a week ago your life got turned upside down. To brother called you and told you that he had an accident at work. You rushed to the hospital frantically. When you get that, a brother stop you and told you you can't go in there because his wife was in I see you with him. I was like, what what? What? What? Wife? Who here are you talking about? I was shocking confusus. I really wanted to bust to be there to see this wife of his, but his brother made sure I didn't. Now, surely you say, why did the brother call him? I'm wondering that too, Yeah, why did the brother call you? Well, let's look at the possibility of him. Okay, maybe, like he said, he was living with his brother. Maybe he separated and he was trying to get himself together. He met y'all because y'all went on lavish trips. He'd going to church with ya all the time. He had the house cooking, so he ain't at home, and he can't just be going from his wife. So maybe he was living there his wife and maybe he was still married but separated. It could happen, but you don't know that. My question is after a year, how to hell you ain't been over this man's house in a year? In one year, you ain't never went over to brother's house? Or did you go over to brother's house and it looked like he lived there. He just never told you that he was married getting a divorce, or told you he was separated. That could be the case, but you did not mention that you had not huh, go ahead, I'm saying the guy never mentioned that he had a wife though. No, he never mentioned you never went over his house. He didn't bring up the wife, right, which is wrong. I admit that dead wrong, But damn you ain't either, you know, come on, man, y'all, Marridge never came up you ever been married? Or when you asked him was he married? He said, yeah, I used to be. And that's a partial lie, because wasn't. That's an outright lie because you're still married to him and you know he was living his brother. That's what could happen. But now as far as running up in this hotel room and I see you, so this wife can see you in the hospital and he can see how hurt you are, and then tell the wife here the line that threw me. What do you think it's wrong if I not wait, how did she put it? I want his wife to know that I should be in the room and not hurt. Boy, you know, stay away from this potential barrel plot. Stay away from wait what stay away from this potential but need problem, need to play this out now, let this play this. This ain't the time to run up in that and let him heal first. Don't run up in that and then he don't make it. Ok. Let's just thank this out. Run up in that trying to prove that you ought to be it, and then all of a sudden he died. Tagg you it? Yeah, you sign it for the A in anything. Now you downstands trying to work out some payments. Okay, all right, you're about healthy ships. I'll tell you right. You don't know what this girl policy looks like. With that funeral home down the black funeral holes get their money, make no mistakes. Oh they're gonna get their money or the service won't continue. You're gonna get the money for the service going. Let's wake up, body being your tree on your tree line, Steve, I'm just trying to throw it out to a little stuff like that. I did tell y'all it's gonna be ignorant today. I didn't get you don't gave the good sister answer. But let's just be real. She can't do that though to his wife, she cannot. She has no right to do that. All you could go on up in there m hm, and and what and in your ass would be needing a bed right next to her. She being there to care both of y'all. He ain't got the straw, and she let you drink out the straw careful. You don't know what the situation is, and you should have been more inquisitive. They fell for each other quickly, she said, and that's it. And he's been telling her over brother house. I don't know. I don't know how you dating a man for a year you ain't been to his house. Excuse me, and y'all live in the same city, and y'all thing you think he's single now if y'all living away from each other. That's one thing. And he always come to you. But hello, y'all got to thank this out now. But I would definitely back up and see how he's doing. He and I see you. You know, I would wait and see if he pulled through. I hope he pulled through too, But if he don't, you know, I didn't write the letter. Okay, listen, post your comments on today strong Mary letter that was ignorant.

Coming up at the top of the hour, Carla's reality update. Right after that, ju al right girl, you're listening to all right, Junior, come on in, Tommy introduced Carla. Lady and gentlemen, it's that time. It's time for reality update, thank you. Or all right, let's switch it up a little bit. We're gonna talk about married to Madison. So yeah, first line, every Reality love dated, all of them was in front of me. I wouldn't know who what. Quad isn't backing down from her accusations that Mariah used cocaine before this. This is just too much. No, no, no, So anyway, the ladies went on a trip to Savannah and poor doctor Jackie. We love doctor Jackie. Shout out to doctor Jackie because she listens to the Steve Harvey more to show hey, anyway, Yes, she is trying her best to help to get these ladies together and squash their beefs and get a lot. She is trying, but it ain't easy for doctor Jackie. Give up Chad because it ain't working. Anyway, Mariah is not fooling with Quad, and my girl took a drug tests to prove that she is not on drugs. Mariah showed up where receipts honey and drug test results, and she showed them to Toya's husband, doctor Eugene, and he said, wow, you took a drug test similar to like what boxers and fighters take, so you know, she's really trying to prove that she doesn't use drugs. Also, Doctor Contessa, her and her husband, Doctor Scott, they probably need to go to some counseling or therapy, marriage couple therapy, because I think she's starting to resent her husband. You know, she went away to Tennessee. Yeah, yeah, yeah, well she tried to. She enrolled and furthering her education if you will. She's already a doctor, and she wanted to get involved in social programming and medical needs and things like that, just going a different way. But she had to take more schooling and classes to get that done. And she was gone a lot, and she would come home on the weekends. But her husband was holding it down with their three children, and he's a doctor, so he basically taught her this ain't working. You need to come back to Atlanta and be a wife, be a mom, and helped me out because it's too much. So she felt like they could have got through it if he would have supported her a little bit more. So. I think there's gonna be some issues with them, so they need to really work it out. Yeah, Doctor Jackie even told her that to get some advice. You know, you guys probably be counseling and therapy with that. So we'll see, we'll see what happens with that. I'll watch and keep you posted. And they just start marriage to begin with two they did, but they did. It seems like when you get on these reality shows, man, girl, I just don't see how show enhances a marriage, right, don't now all of them. It's not bad for all of them, but the majority of them, there's no way to work through your problems and stuff in private. And I don't care who you married too, you're gonna have some challenging time. So you got to be able to sit and talk with them, and that can't be privy to the public. Yeah, it just seems like all these reality shows, like you know, these strong couples, they start off so strong and loving marriage and relationships and many drama. So another reality news before we run out of time, let me tell you this. Ray J and Princess Love. You know, they start on Love and Hip Hop Hollywood.

I love it all right, coming up our last break of the day, and some closing remarks from the one and only Steve Harvey right after this at forty nine minutes after you're listening. All right, Steve, here we are on this Thursday, um, right before we head into the weekend, and I know you have some closing remarks for us today. Yeah, you know. Sheryl Underwood was on the show when we have a little conversation about politics. We were having a show on the show early today. Sheryl was talking about politics and we have to get out and vote. I can't tell you all how important all of the upcoming elections are going to be. Any anything you have to vote, any local authority, any Senate Congress, I don't care what it is. The presidentiary election is next November, a little over a year from now. But I'm gonna tell you something that we really have got to We've got to get prepared. We've got to get ourselves in a position, y'all to make a difference. Now. I asked everybody to go out and vote for Hillary Clinton, and you did to a degree. And she won the popular vote by over three million vote. I think that's the number, probably more than that, but she won the popular vote, volver three million vote. The electoral vote is what hurt us. But we could have won the electoral votes that we won a couple of states, Michigan and Wisconsin. Not to mention Philadelphia, I mean Richmond, Virginia what they did over there. But we've got to vote, y'all, because let me tell you something about this president that we have. He can survive one more year as president. He could possibly win it and become president for one more year. He'll survive that. We cannot survive another year of this man. I've never seen a person more noncaring for the less fortunate than him, and he doesn't care. And we've got to get out and vote to change some things. Man, this is our life. But we got to get out and vote with a sense of duty, and that so many people before us paved away so we could vote. We owe him at least that, And then we've got to have a sense of purpose. If you don't like what's happening in the White House, you can change it with your vote. That's going to have to be a collective number of votes to make a difference, but your vote can be part of the collective that we need to get this man out of office. Now. Look, if you're a Trump supporter, I'm not mad at you. It looked there only one vote too, just like I'm only one vote. But what I'm saying to you is this, if you know what's going on is wrong. If you notice his file up there, if you know it, come on, man, why not We've got to do something. If you watch TV and you watch CNN, man, what this cabinet? The whole cabinet? His lawyers look, listen, Rudy what's his name? The lawyer, Rudy Gidian, Rudy Gili has to get a lawyer because they've discovered some things he doing was unscrupulous. His lawyer, Michael Cohen is already in jail doing time. They want to put Manifest in jail. They wanted. Damn, they wanted to put fleeing in jail. Everybody was high level position connected to this man. It's going to jail. Something's wrong here, man, And for them to make it seem like it's the norm, it's not. And so we got a chance to do something about it. But I think we gotta get started now. We gotta get everybody we know, we gotta start registering. We can't wait till last minute. That's all I really need to say, because anything else I say, it's gonna give me a lot of trouble. And let's vote. Let's just get out and vote. Those are my closing remarks. We have to vote in all elections. That's it, my closing remark. All right, Steve, drop the mind to be said. Yes, it's certainly did. We cannot sleep on this election next year, any of them. I'm just tired of rushing in the House to see what he did today. Yeah, yeah, you know, it gets old, it does, because man consecutive. Yeah, I mean, he's not presidential. He's told the Republicans, for those of you that don't stick with me, you're nothing but human scum. Yes, I know who says that. Oh my goodness, and it seems like Juliani is gonna be the fire guy. Well they've already up. Yeah, he's Lauri ring up. So y'all need to vote local elections, national Steve, you said it, yes, everything, And we got to fill out these census forms. That's another smart things. Yes, sir, We've got to fill out these census forms and get it in. We have to get more we have to get more representation through an actual census head count.
