Today's show is pre recorded. Y'all know what time y'all don't know y'all have a suit on the don giving them like the milling bus things and it's cos y'all. Steve listening to going together for stuy. I don't joy. You gotta gotta turn you. You gotta turn the turnout, got to turnmout. Then turn the water to the water. Come, come on your baby now. Uh huh, I shore will good marded everybody you're listening to the voice, come on dig me now, one and all, it's Steve Harvey, got a radio show. Well all right, I've learned something and it sharing time. And I am all ever appreciated. I do appreciate God for all that he allows me to learn in my life. One of the best lessons I've learned is that hardship teaches you some great lessons. Challenges brings about some of my best results. I think what I'm trying to say is in every challenge and hardship, every setback, I've learned something so so valuable. So here's what I've You know, I've known this, but I've just learned it at a different angle. Appreciation and gratitude is the key to having more. Now. I don't know how that sound to you, but I can't tell you how true it is. God being fair and just as he really is. He really is. He's a fair and a just God. What's most beneficial to us is he happens to be full of mercy and grace. And I'm telling you something, man, I've probably benefited from his grace and mercy more than anything else. I mean, really, man, if it wasn't for him just forgiving me, and then for him just touching my life the way he has, I mean, I'm I'm not hearing this position today. I'm just not. But a funny thing has happened along the way, even to you. If you look at it, is it your genuine appreciation and gratitude has been the key to you having more for your continued blessings and for making room for having to open up and pour out blessings that you don't have room enough to receive. If you look at it, see God being a fair and just God, which he is, why would he put more on you than you can bad? If you've noticed everything that's happened in your life, if you're still here, you've made it. You know, forget how rough it was, got that but you made it. Forget what it sent you through, and it hid made you feel you made it. Now, what makes people give up and you hear about people committing suicide, is they leave the God out of their life and they start allowing that other voice to control. And if it's really true that God never puts more on you than you can bear, as long as you stay connected to God, you can get through anything. But you lose that connection, you lose that communication, you lose that relationship with him. If you're not having a relationship with God, then who you're having a relationship with Now it ain't but two forces at work at all time. It's good and evil. It's positive and negative. It's God, it's Satan. Now, this is at work all the time. So if you're not being positive about everything, you leave room for negativity to step in. If you're not trying to be righteous in your way, then you allow evil to step in. If you don't work on your relationship with God, come on, now, look who you're letting step in. So now I'm asking you to understand that God never puts the more on you than you can bear. Okay, now that we got that clear. That's a fact. Okay. Now with that fact in mind, let's go over this right here. Why would God, being as just and merciful as he is, put more on you than you can bear? Example, if God has given you blessings and all you're doing is complaining about him, you're never showing any appreciation of gratitude about it. Why would he give you some most stuff to be ungrateful for? Why would he give you some more stuff to complain about? Why would he give you some more stuff that you would not show any more appreciation for? I mean, this thing is real simple, man, ain't it if you think about it? So? A lot of times, man, when I was going through my positions of not having it and wondering at all like here, I ended up checking myself and going, man, I'm not even showing any gratitude or appreciation for the things He has done for me. Start showing some appreciation and gratitude because it's the key to having more. It's the key to continued blessings. It's the key to the wonders of heaven opening up and pouring out a blessing that you won't have room enough to receive. It's the appreciation and gratitude of what you already have, as minimal as it may appear to be right now for you, it is still what you have. But if you've shown no gratual, no gratitude for the minimal, why would he give you the maximum. I mean, I'm just really just trying to put it real, real, simple, so I can keep understanding this thing right here. So let me give you an example. In my life, I had gotten so busy at one point that I had began to complain about how busy I was. This is true because I am busy, but it ain't the busy part because I asked to be busy, you know, I asked God to give me opportunities and to make a way for me. Well, in that you got to do something and you got to get busy. But I began to complain about the business and how busy I was, and I noticed that a couple of things slowed up for me. So I had got to the point where I wasn't showing real gratitude for it. Well, I looked up and a couple of things started slowing down, and then I had to catch myself and I went, wow, man, you have got to start embracing the fact that you are this busy, embraced the fact that what all comes along with it. Because to whom much is given, much is required. You got to start embracing the requirement part if you want to continue with the giving part. So I changed my attitude. I caught myself and I started thinking him and showing real gratitude for how busy I was, instead of complaining about how busy I was. And then guess what, It opened up the windows of heaven and some more blessings got poured out. It just works that way all the time, for everybody, for me, for you, for everybody. So listen, y'all again, your appreciation and gratitude is the key to having more. Your appreciation and gratitude is the key to continued blessings. And your appreciation and gratitude it's the only way that you can get those windows of heaven to open up and pour out these blessings that you won't have room enough to receive. You gotta act like you're glad for what you got in order to get more. You feel me, let's go show, ladies and gentlemen, boys and girls, let me have your attention. Please try Jesus, not me, because I throw hands. Try Jesus. Please don't try me because I fight ladies and gentlemen. Steve Harvey's three theme song Till the Year twenty twenty five.

I know y'all ain't, but I just wanted to say hello bye everybody. Y'all ain't invite me prop you know what I'm saying. You gonna have ready he let me pop, But I'm going thank you very enjoy all right, listen, right now it's time for ask the CLO and the chief love officers in the building. Steve, you ready, absolutely, here we go. This one's from Tawanda and Seattle. She said, I just read your book, Uncle Steve, so I need some clarification. I've been dating a man for two years. I'm twenty nine, and I want to be married. I started telling my man that I love him after a year of dating. He always says me too, or same here or ditto. One night he even told me he was very fond of me, and I'm white fee material. Maybe he does not love me, or he's not the mushy type. My grandma said some men aren't able to profess love. Is this true? Should I ask him why he doesn't profess his love for me? Well, you can ask him, but I want you to be ready for the answer. You've been with a man over a year and you haven't told him he loved you, and he says same hill, ditto, whoo hoo, be too back at you? My mom used to say, thank you, boomerang, yeah, stuff like that. You can go ahead and ask him if you really need clarity, and he's saying your wifey material. But I want you to listen to what he has not said. He has not said he loves you, and he has not said he wants you to be his wife. Those are two things that he hasn't said. So now you have every right, though, to ask for clarity by saying, when you say, when I say I love you and you say ditto, what does that mean? No? Tell me what that means. You know we've been dating a year. Tell me what that means. And then, secondly, when you say I'm wifey material, are you saying I'll make someone else a good wife or you think I would make you a good wife? You have every right to ask that question. You've been waiting for a year. Come on, now, two years. They've been together two years. To stop stop playing this game. You should know by now. Next question. All right, here we go, Lexus and Tampa says, I've been married for eleven years and I want a divorce. I've been trying to get one for the past four years, and my husband keeps saying we can't afford a divorce. He says, I can't give money in our joint account for that. I'm trying to separate our money, but the majority of our income comes from him. He is fine with living in a dysfunctional marriage, but I'm not. I've met a man and I'm ready to start over with him, but I can't get a divorce. We don't have any assets, and he can have this raggedy house. I just want out. How can I drop the zero without it costing so much? Wait a minute, what are you talking about, right, What are you talking about? How can I drop this zero without it costing? What do you You don't have any assets. You've been married eleven years and he's telling you y'all can't afford to get no divorce and you can't take the money out to account to get no divorce. But you're in a dysfunctional relationship. You gotta be kidding me. You're not really trying to get divorced. People do it every day, unfortunately, but they system all the stuff you can do online. You can get out if you won't out. Yeah, come come on now, let's stop playing this little reindeer game. You got going four years you've been trying to get a divorce. So in the four years, what y'all been doing this this joint account that you all have that he puts the majority in money and you don't have access to it at all? Girl, Next question should Berry and Sumter? Moving on? Berry in Sumter, South Carolina, says, I'm thirty four and engaged to a woman that's not happy with me right now. It will be my second marriage, and I'm still on my ex wife's insurance policy because of the benefits and incentives that came with having our policies combined. She has paid her part of a premium and I paid my half. My fiance is aware that the policy is paid in full until February of twenty twenty one, but she wants me to cancel the policy and get a new one immediately. It's just auto insurance and no big deal to me. How should I handle it? Good question? Okay, excuse me, y'all? Can I ask y'all all the question? I don't know what he's talking about. There's an insurance policy paid in full till February, but it's just auto insurance. That's car insurance. It's just car insurance. And he's on with his ex wife. She wants him to cut ties with his ex wife. Okay, cut ties with your ex wife? What's wrong with you? If that'll make her happy, you gotta cut ties with it? What? What? What? You? You didn't pay the money? I mean? Do you see an accident happening any time? Get this? I don't, man, You're just unhappy in your house over car accident that ain't happened.

Three presidents spoke at the funeral of the late civil rights icon. Three presidents. We're talking, just three real presidents. Yes, President Clinton. President President Obama delivered the yes. Yes. He spoke about bloody Sunday when Congressman Lewis and other protesters were beaten by police in Selma fifty five years ago. President Obama also spoke about voter suppression. Take a listen. We may no longer have to guess the number of jelly means in the jar in order to cast a ballot. But even as we sit here, there are those in power who are doing their darnedest to discourage people from voting, by closing polling locations and targeting minorities and students with restrictive idea laws, and attacking our voting rights with surgical precision, even undermining the postal service in the run up to an election that's gonna be dependent on mail in ballots so people don't get sick. That's the president that a miss him. We do. President Jimmy Carter also sent his condolences and a proclamation. So it was just a beautiful service in everything. President Obama also reminded Americans to be villagent, vigilant against the dark occurrence of this country's history. I saw, Jennifer, if you don't if you don't vote, now, there's something seriously wrong with you. Really, it really is something. No, really, man, that's that's a true statement. This we're we're we're at the critical juncture for our culture. See, this is critical juncture for our culture. Look at the Black Lives Matter movement. Look at the things that the people are saying who are against the movement. In Arkansas, man, this white person was out there holding the sign say black lives matter. They recorded how many whites drove by him, saying stuff like put that sign down, you're white, white women, white lives matter too. See, they've missed the whole point of what black lives matter is. So what we've got to do is we have to prove that black lives matter in a way that we've never shown him before or and that's at the polls. We got the vote many because we can do something about this that's happening to us from this president, this diverseed, this divisiveness that he's spewing, this talking about the suburbs saving us from the Fair Housing Act lawder he wants to resis in trying to get rid of Obamacare, trying to don't he don't care nothing about pre existing conditions. We have an opportunity to do something about this, and we have to get the job done. We have to vote. And like President Obama just said, they've closed so many polls in neighborhoods that serve black people and condense sixteen polling places into one. That's to discourage you as a voter. And now this president is talking about the mail and vote could open us our election up to fraud. No, it can't. You can still only vote once. Then he's talking about we should move the election back until people can vote safely. Hey man, do that? No? No, if he was a dictator, yes, they had an election in a civil war. And so you know every war, every yea, every situations, the election has gone on. But you know, pemic, right, if I knew an ass what was coming. I delay it. I really would it legalize black? You know what I mean. That's what it seemed like we're trying to do, like we're trying to legalize right drama.

We could be reading your letter just like we're gonna read this. We're gonna read this one right here, right now. Okay, buggle up and hold on tight. We got it for you. Here. It is the Strawberry Letter, all right, nephew. It says I asked a married woman to marry me. That is the subject. I asked a married woman to marry me, Dear Stephen Shirley. For the past ten years, I have lived with a really good female friend. Over the years, we've shared a bed at times, and we've had sex when it was convenient. Other than that, it was more of a room roommate type of arrangement. She dated other men and I dated other women. When we were at home, we were best friends that happened to sleep in the same bed sometimes. We never had our boyfriends or girlfriends sleep over. And I was thinking this is a perfect setup. But my roommate flipped the switch and got married last month. She told me that her husband lives in another country and she's been in a long distance relationship for a year. She told me that her husband can't get a visa renewed, so he cannot come back into the US right now. I was really hurt to find out that she'd gotten married on me, and she casually told me like it was no big deal. It broke my heart and made me realize that I'm in love with her. She's also been going through in vitro fertilization IVF to have a baby because she's forty and really wants a child. I was supportive of all of that, and last year I told her that i'd father her child. She brought that up and told me she wants to go ahead with her IVF and still have me donate sperm as the father since her husband is stuck in another country indefinitely. I want to be the father of the baby and her husband. So I made an impulsive move and I went and brought her a ring, bought her a ring, and I asked her to marry me. She said she does love me and she would think about it. My life will not be the same if she leaves me. Stephen Shirley, Am I wrong for doing this? Now? What if I'm just jealous and not in love? Wow? This relationship right here, it's really crazy? Okay her dumb? Can you get you're just in it for convenience anyway you said? I mean, you guys have been friends with benefits for ten years. Ten years. Let me put it this way, You've just been using each other's bodies, never even talked once about a future dating, moving out. Nothing. You guys are just there sleeping together when it's convenient. She's forty years old, still doing this, So what was she supposed to do? Just stay there and entertain you, sleep with you when it was convenient for another ten years. Listen, life goes on, people change all the time, and that's exactly what she did. She moved on, well sort of, okay, yes and no, she moved on because she did say she think about your proposal. Right, it just gets crazier and crazier, and she wants your sperm for her baby because her husband is out of the country indefinitely. What all right? I think you know, regarding the ring and everything, I think you got kind of scared because your normal is about to change. No more free, convenient sex for you, so you did get impulsive and go out and buy her a ring. I don't think this is gonna work for the simple fact that she's already married. That's a But then you know, you guys don't look at each other that way. I mean, it takes something drastic to happen like this for you to come to your senses. And you don't even know if that's really what's going on. You two people are confused. It's been convenient and like this for so long. You're confused. Now you don't know how to accept the change. So I don't know you know what's going to happen in the future because she is married. She didn't talk about divorce. She just said she's think about it. But the whole baby and sperm thing from you, this letter is crazy. That's all I gotta say. Steve, Wow, I don't know how to address this letter is to accept, to just honestly tell you all, I don't believe this letter. I really don't. Oh, I believe he wrote it, but there's so many things in the letter that I don't think is really valid. Been dating this lady for tenue, you live with her. She's a good friend. Y'all share bed at times, y'all have sex when it's convenient. Other than that, it's more like a roommate type arrangement. And then you go right back and say she dated other men. I dated other women, but when we were home, we were best friends that happened to sleep in the same bed sometimes. We've never had boyfriends and girlfriends sleepover. I was thinking it's a perfect setup, so he said it was. She told me that her husband lives in another country. She's been a long, just relationship for a year. She told me that her husband can't get his visa renews, so he can't come back to the US. Right now, What where the hell did that come from? Our just right out the damn letter, you were just talking about how convenient it was, what it good, what it was, how y'all don't br your girlfriend boyfriends over, and you were thinking of perblack dinner. Then she told me her husband live in another country. Keep it right. It's a damn lie. We'll have part two of your response coming up at twenty three minutes after the hour. Today's Strawberry letter, subject I asked a married woman to marry me. We'll get back into it right after this. You're listening to show, all right, Steve, come on, let's recap if we can. Today's crazy Strawberry Letter. This subject I asked to marry a married woman to marry me. I asked a married woman to marry me. I think this letter a bunch of bullcrap. I really really do. Man, Either way, I don't I don't doubt that, he wrote the letter. I don't doubt nothing he said. He lived with it is what he thought was just a really good friend. They sleep together, share bad at times, never had their boyfriend girlfriends over. You know, we just roommates that type of arrangement. You know, she dated other me and I dated other women. You know, and huh, you know when we at home, were the best of friends to have him to sleep in the same bed. But my roommate flipped a switch and got married last month. She told me her husband lives in another country and she's been a long Just what now he got a stupid boy and can't get his visory nude so he cannot come back into the US right now? Definitely boy, Then here he go. I was really hurt to find out she got married on me, and she casually told me like it was no big deal. That's cause brother, you getting played. I think the whole marriage was a lot. It broke your heart, and it made me realize that I'm in love with her. What ten years, dude, ten years. It don't take no man ten years to know a damn It don't take no woman ten years to know nothing. It don't take a damn child. A child can learn how to walk in less than ten years. You can get potty trained in less than ten years. You can learn how to drive a car in less than ten years. You can find a boyfriend in less than ten years. You can boy you know, ten years. She's also been going through in vitro fertilization to have a baby because she really wants a child. She's forty. I was supported of all that. Last year. I told her I'd father her child. She bought that up and told me she ready to go ahead and have me donate to sperm as the father since her husband is still stuck in another country. Infinitely, I want to be the father of the baby and her husband. So I made an impulsive move and I went on and bought a ring, asked her to marry me. She said she does love me, and she would think about it. You can't be married and think about it. Dog, Listen to me. My life will never be the same as she leaves me. Stephen Shelley, I wrong for doing this now. And what if I'm jealous and not in love? Hey, stupid, listen to me. You in love and you are jealous, and you said it. What if I'm just jealous and not in love. See, let me tell you what's happened, y'all. He only want her now called somebody else got her? Or I think she's playing him and they really got no husband, and then got tired of that arrangement and then told him she had one, so now you want her, called somebody else want her? And then in the letter she turned around she only want you for your sperm. I don't really think she mard. I think she just told you that because when you said, will you married me, she said, I think about it. You can have a husband and think about this and this whole damn visa story and in vitro and you gonna volunteer the sperm. And look, man, she'd been wanting this baby the whole whole time. She's been wanting you to do it. She trying to play it off like she don't want to get married. That's why she casually said I have a husband now, and your dumb ass went, what now you went and bought the ring that she didn't thought about it. Now suppose she'd come back and tell you, you know what, I am gonna marry you. But the clicker is supposed she does this. I just told you, I was getting married to see what you was gonna do. I can't put it past her. That'll be good. Then he'll see if he's really in love with her or just jealous jealous? Right, whatever happens, dog, you got whatever coming to you. It's gonna come to you now. Why don't you just say, hey, look, I love you. I've known it for a while. I'm too old to play these games. I don't want nobody else. Yeah, I want to marry you. Let's go. And if she go down to that courthouse and get married, then you know goodn't here? Well it wasn't nobody else. But do you really won't it anyway? Right? Or don't you? He's been pranked? Yeah?

We may no longer have to guess the number of jelly beans in the jar in order to cast a ballot. But even as we sit here, there are those in power who are doing their darndest to discourage people from voting, by closing polling locations and targeting minorities and students with restrictive idea laws, and attacking our voting rights with surgical precision, even undermining the postal service in the run up to an election that's gonna be dependent on mail in ballots so people don't get sick. Woh, that's a president now they miss him, we do. President Jimmy Carter also sent his condolences and a proclamation, so it was just a beautiful service and everything. President Obama also reminded Americans to be villigent, vigilant against the dark occurrence of this country's history. And I saw the beginning. I saw Jennifer J. Jay. If you don't if you don't vote, now, there's something seriously wrong with you. Really, that's that's a true statement. Well, we are at a critical juncture for our culture. See, this is critical juncture for our culture. Look at the Black Lives Matter movement. Look at the things that the people are saying who are against a movement. In Arkansas. Man, this white person was out there holding the sign say black lives matter. They recorded how many whites drove by him, saying stuff like put that sign down, you're white, white women, white lives matter too. See, they've missed the whole point of what black lives matter is. So what we've got to do is we have to prove that black lives matter in a way that we've never shown him before. And that's at the polls, because we can do something about this that's happening to us from this president coming up. It's our last break of the day. Ain't gonna be no tip, Okay, there's no tip. Lead him chickaways and drink at the dough. Okay, there's no there's no tip, all right. Also coming up closing remarks from the one and only, our fearless leader, Steve Harvey.

So anyway, Um, yeah, we'll have that talk. Listen. Um, this this election that's coming that we're faced with. I don't want anybody to sleep on the importance of what has to happen in November. This is this is serious, y'all. This is serious. Don't let the distractions get in the way. President Obama, when he was speaking at Congressman Lewis's funeral, he talked about how voter supe voter suppression is in full effect right now, how they are closing polling places in neighborhoods of color and condensing them down to one that's creating these long lines. They are going to be some long lines this November, make no mistake about it. But you can early vote, which is just as important. You can earlier vote, and then the people who cannot early vote when they go there, they will be standing in regular lines. We've got to be considered of those people. If you can early vote, we have to early vote. But in order to early vote, you have to be registered. But really, man, you have to understand the significance of this. Stop saying that your vote doesn't count, because it does. Every vote counts. The only way your vote don't count is if you don't cast it. Every vote counts, yours included. We need you to vote. We need everybody to vote this year because I just have to tell you, man, you're not going to like another four years of this. You're just not. Look, look what's happened has already been so many. First, we have a president that tweets. We have a president that doesn't care about the people he's leading. We have a president who makes false state after false statement after false statement. We have a president who's divisive. We have a president in office where a white supremist group in hate groups think they have a friend in the White House. We have a president that does not care about the oppressed. We have a president. Every time he takes up a cause, if you notice carefully, it's got something to do with people of color, Immigration, the kneeling, the Black Lives Matter, all of this, Docta everything, every issue he takes up, the ban on Muslims, every issue he takes up has something to do with people of color. Why would you not pay attention to this? Now? If you are non African American and you are hearing me, I can't tell you how gratifying it is is to see those of you who are supporting the Black Lives Matter in protest, whether it's silent, it's just making a donation, it's standing out there with a sign. I can't tell you how important that is. But I know this for a fact, man, I know a lot of non African Americans that's sick of this mess. Man, sick of this mess. Right here, we cannot we cannot allow this to happen again. For four years, he has done everything in his power to divide us. And I'm telling you, in November, you have a chance to do something about that. All you got to do is vote, show everyone that black lives matter everywhere, not just when it comes to police activity towards people of color, not just when it comes to fair housing, but when it comes to voting. We can help determine who's in that White House in November. When we all vote dot org. It's what you have to go to to make sure you're registered. And then y'all get smart. Get smart when you know that it's time that you can early vote in your community, Tell your friends and relatives, when you know it's time that that that you can sign up. When you learn things about it, share that information. We got some business to take care of this November. Y'all. Do not sleep this election. This is a very very important one.
