Today's show is pre recorded. Y'all know what time y'all don't know y'all back a suit, looking back to back down, giving them like amazing bus things. And it's not through good Steve har to start join Jo. You gotta use that turn. You gotta turn to turn them out, got to turn them out, to turn the water the water. Come, come on your thing, I shall will jip morning everybody. You're listening to the votes, come on dig me now one and only. Uh, Steve Harvey got a radio show, Yeah you do. Steve Harvey got a radio show. But like I said the other day, you got something too, though, don't you. God hadn't done something wonderful for you. You just gotta thank Him for it, you know, in the midst of all that's going on in my life and in your life. You know, I always use myself as an example because well, I mean that way. I guarantee one hundred percent I know what I'm talking about. Um, here's the situation, you know, with everything that's going on in my life and all the things I'm asking God for in the midst of a taxing and a very trying situation that's very challenging for me right now. Man, God just keeps on, keeps on surprising me. He keeps doing things, And I want you to look at your life. Or for a second, let's make two columns here. Let's make a column of all the things you want from God. You know, just do that throughout the course of the day. You know, you know, run down the list of all the things you're asking God for, all the things you're praying for, the things you aspire to, what your dreams, your visions, whatever it is. Just make a column a list of all those things. Let's make three lists. And then the second list, I want you to make a list of everything that you've been asking God for, so I guess that could be a little bit of the same. But this third list, I want you to do a check off point. I want you to do a make a list of everything that God has given you that you've asked him for. Just think about it like that for a second. I may be explaining a little wrong right now, but I'm gonna pull it together for you. Make a list of everything you're asking God for. Just just listed, you know. It's okay, it's a dream board. You can call it that. I got one. It's a vision board. You know, every everybody's got something you hope for. Make a list. Now. I want you to make another list of everything you've asked God for that he's given you already. See this is a good list because sometimes and what I've been guilty of, and maybe you two in my request list on my dream board. I keep focusing so hard sometimes on the what I'm yet to receive. I keep focusing so hard on the what I hope he gives me. I keep focusing so hard on the things that I yet not fulfilled in my life that sometimes, as he starts checking off my wish list, the things I've asked for in the past that have come to pass that he's given me, I sometimes, in praying for what I want forget to thank him for what he's done for me. And I'm currently in the middle of that situation. And this morning when I woke up, I really, man, I just got on my knees this morning and I quit tripping for a second. I said, Man, hey, God, you know what I really do need all them things I'm asking for, and I really am believing that You're gonna give it to me. But in the meantime, though, man, have I overlooked some important details here. I had to really look at what he's done for me. I mean, look, man, take yourself out of it personally and look. Or you can leave yourself in it however you want to be. Some people can't do that, so just leave yourself in it. Then. But man, I started looking at the eye part of me, and I started looking around at what's happening overall. Like, man, he has kept my family together in spite of the attempts to tear it apart. I look at all of that. I look at how he's blessing my children with the desires of their heart, which I pray for my kids. You know, I want my kids to have a better life than I've had. I really really do. I don't want them to take as long as it took me to get it together. I really really don't. I'm trying to say, hey, man, if you go to college, this is what you can be. Don't do like your father did. Don't go three years, drop out, throw yourself into a spiral and then got to start to scratch all over again. You know, And for the most part so far, you know, they're doing quite well of it. You know, you know they they're getting kicked around a little bit, but that's life. I started thinking of the blessings that he's helped me overcome with some of the previous mistakes I've made in relationships in my life, and then I started looking about the things he's blessed me with that I've been asking him for. But since I've moved on from it, I forgot to keep thinking him because I gotta always thank God for a roof over my head, because guess what, when I was asking for the roof and I didn't really have it, then he gave me one that since he gave it to me, what, I'm just cool now, I can't ever go back to him and go, hey, man, I really do appreciate this roof over my head because that was a time when I was living in a car. But see, so every morning I wake up, I gotta remember the fact that I have a home now because I gotta look back and go, man, that was time, Steve, when you didn't have no home. But see, we forget what God has done for us because in our column that won't column, the need column, we oftentimes forget for the columns and the check marks. As He's already fulfilled in our life. You've got to take inventory every now and then daily if possible. But I know we're humans. We're not gonna do that. I don't. But you've got to take inventory of your life to say, hey, what has God done for me? You know? And remember something else too. Change is good, but change is challenging. Accept the challenge that it is. Look a lot of you come up to me all the time and say, Steve Man, man, boy you in the morning. Man, I really be needing that, Like I under said it a hundred times, but I'm gonna say it again, y'all. I'd be needing it too. You know. You understand sometimes what God is dealing with me is for me. But now I'm in a sharing position where I can open up and if I just if I just quit being so about me and become a little bit more transparent, I can maybe some of me that's happening to me is happening to you, and you can see some of this in me. That's why I use myself as an example, because man, I'm catching it too, y'all. I ain't perfect either. So for those of you that come up to me and say that I want you to understand these these talks in the morning. Man, this is important for me because man, I need these conversations from God. I need God to continue to strengthen me, to show me the way, to help me understand what's happening to me. And see, as we've all those of you who have may the decision to change, to become a better person, a better woman, a better boy, a better girl, a better man. For those of you have made the decision to change, change is a challenge, and accept the challenge because it's gonna come. Because right out of that here come to haters. It ain't come people you don't even know, discussing your life and your change. If God see you really really mean what you say in spite of what they say about you, God will raise you above the phrase. He'll keep promoting you. He'll keep blessing you, He'll keep moving you up. He will use you as a show off point. He'll show your off man. He'll make you. He'll make you look good to people, man, who wish you'd fall all day long, and so to all your haters, all your haters will end up just watching you rise. Man, They will watch you continue to grow. That's what God will do for you. Man, you can fool the world, but you can't fool God. God know your heart, He know your every thought. Man, you're listening to Steve Morday Morning Show. Ladies and gentlemen, it is upon us. The arrival of a new day is here. The Lord has blessed us to come along. We are great fault, were respect folk, and were ever watchful. I, for one, would like to say that God is in control and I'm gonna let him do it the way he gonna do it. I am in be Steel mode today all the way through Friday. I'm in be Steel mode. I am just in a position where I just got to let God handle. Listening is bigger than me. So I'm in be Steel mode. Thank you, thank you, thank you. Sherley Strawberry. Don't move, Steve be Steel.

Hey, everybody, we want to give us special congratulations to our special guests. We told you we'd have him today. Uh. He is now the senior advisor to President Biden and the Director of the White House Office of Public Engagement, and he's joining us this morning to highlight some of the points from the President's recent voting right speaks, and he's got some great news for our HBCUs and we're looking forward to the child tax credit checks. We're gonna find out all about that. So let's get to it. Please, welcome back a friend of the Morning Show senior advisor, mister Cedric Richmond. Yes, yeah, yeah, Steve and the team. Thank you all for having me and thanks for what you do. Oh no, man, thank you. Hey. Listen, let's get right to it, because on Tuesday, President Biden he gave a major voting right speech in Philly, and he spoke about the big lie with the twenty twenty election, and he called it the most examined and most undemocratic election in the history of this nation. So let's let's let's talk about that for a second. What was the takeaway for Americans who were listening to this speech? What should they walked away with on this thing? But part of the purpose of the speech was to highlight exactly what's going on. People who live in Georgia they understand and they see its. People in Texas they feel it. But you know, and I know what our community. We have so many families that are just busting the butts every day to keep a roof over their head, close on their back, and food on the table that they may not know. So part of it was for the President to let everybody know the vicious attack that is on the right to vote, and that it is an insult on our democracy, that we're not gonna take it, and that we are doing stuff about it. The twenty five million to the DNC to fight voter suppression. That Attorney General has doubled the size of the voting Rights section in the Department of Justice. We have he initiated suit in certain states, and we're going to take every tool at our disposed of approach to fighting what the Republicans are doing. But people need to know so that they can be prepared. Let me ask you this, sir, where are are the Republicans getting this much support from Is it just that the Senators are pulling this off, or do they have the wheel of their constituents behind them. I'm just gonna give it to you, is honestly as I possibly can. It is for the most part, these Republican legislatures that instead of arguing ideas, they're appeasing Trump and his supporters to think that somebody stole this election. So these elected officials that lack ideas and substance, the way to get popular is to just adopt Trump's mantra, his story, his lie, go hug Trump, and it's working. It's part of what we want to do is educate people on it's just not true. He's you know, don't drink the kool aid. It is what he's saying. It is not true. And these state legislators around here are trying to do exactly what Trump did, just so that they can ride to popularity to a bigger office. You know, that's the sad thing about college today. Man, this really has a sour taste in a lot of people's mouths. But I will say this about this voter suppression that they are pulling. Here, we are listening to our leadership, such as yourself. We are in a holding pattern, ready to act and activate. We are on the radio, myself, Ricky Smiley, deal, Hughley. We're all committed to this on one accord. We are not enemies in this cause right here. We are because they woke up a sleeping giant in Georgia, in Detroit and Milwaukee, in Philly. They woke up and now we know that our vote really does matter. So whatever they do, it's not going to work. We're going to register and we're going to get the right documentation. We're gonna be prepared. So I just want you to know that we are listening to the leadership and what we need to do to counter what's going on up there in DC. This is crazy, man, it really really is. I'll just tell you that if anything like my family or even at the dinner table, I may not want it, I may not use it, but I'm not gonna let you take it. And what they're about to find out is if they think they're gonna come in here and take the right to vote from black and brown people in this country, they have another thing coming. And we're gonna put up the money, we're gonna put up the tools, and we're gonna lead the effort to make sure that it backfires. They tried it in twenty they tried it in twenty twenty, and we got eighty one million votes, right, but that doesn't make it right. And we're gonna still fight for it right exactly, and we need that and we appreciate that. Hey, let's talk about another part of the speech, because you know, historically, you know, Black colleges and university you know, which we so lovingly call HBCUs. They've been underfunded for decades as billions have billions of dollars have been with Hell. But that could be changing though, how so uh uh uh Senior Advisor Richmond, first of all, just call me Cedric. Let's I can't do that. The titles too big. I can't let that go side. I got to say it. I don't get to talk to many of y'all. I'm gonna I'm flexing for my boys up in Cleveland that can't believe I'm talking to you. So no, just like your mama got the business card, I guessed to do this. Hell, So go ahead, Senior Advisor or Cedric, you know what. I'm gonna let you get away with that because you're alone suffering Brown's Fane. You know, I want to talk to you about something. Hold on one second, or we got Senior Advisor Cedric or Richmond on the phone. We're gonna take a break. When we come back, I want you all to stay with us because we're gonna talk about something that's gonna affect a lot of the families out there. There's a huge child tax credit for families that qualified. We're gonna find out what that is, so make sure you don't gonna know where. We'll be right back. You're listening, all right, everybody, We're back and we got our special guests this morning. Senior Advisor Cedric Richmond is with us. Today. We've been talking about the voting rights. We've been talking about the huge four point two billion dollar package that has been has been given to HBCUs. The Biden administration has forgiven one point six billion in loans and debt and invested another two point six billion, and which is a huge shot in the arm for our community. And not to mention the relief that's been provided to black farmers and the tune to the tune to five billion dollars. So here's what I asked everybody to hold on for. It's the huge child tax credit for families that qualify. Tell us exactly who qualifies for this tax credit. Most of the families in this country that have children are going to see are going to receive a tax credit. And what we did this year is we're not going to make people wait to the end of the year five taxes to get the money because children eat every month, need clothes every month, and we're gonna meet the crisis that's dead. So what we're doing is for those families that qualify, if you make under sixty thousand dollars to fully qualify, your tax credit will be seventy two hundred dollars. We're going to give you thirty two hundred dollars spread out over the last six months of the year. So starting today, people will start getting checks for three hundred dollars for every kid that they have under six, two hundred and fifty dollars for every kid over six ft under eighteen every month until the end of the year. And part of what we're fighting for in the families plan to not make that just for this year, but to make it to extend it out because just by doing this, Steve, and this is the important part, we're going to reduce child poverty in this country this year by fifty percent. We're going to reduce black poverty in this country this year by thirty eight percent. And so we want to make sure that for those people who file taxes, they're gonna get a check starting to day. For those people who filled out the documents so that they could get the emergency relief. They're gonna get a check today for people who don't make enough to have to file taxes. We want them to know, go on TI tax Credit dot gov, fill out the paperwork because we're gonna start sending you a check every month. And we don't want any family to not take advantage of this seventy two hundred dollars thirty six hundred and payments over the next six months. We want people to get this relief. That's why we did it. We want them to know that government works for them. We understand the pain that they're going through, and we're going to help them through it. And so that's why your show is so important, because you have people out there that are listening that are gonna laugh. You're gonna make them laugh, but at some point you're gonna give them enough information to really make them go on the internet make sure they get this money so that their kids at the end of the day will benefit from it. Hey, everybody, hang on one second, we're talking with senior Advisors Cedric Richmond. We'll be right back with more. You're listening. Hey, we're back. Everybody in our special Guests this morning to Senior Advisors Cedric Richmond, H, this is what's really impressed me about the Biden administration. It isn't just talk everybody. There's actual things being done, actual dollars coming directly to you. You don't have to guess HBCUs you know what that is, Family tax credit, that's your family, that's your family, and so you know these are things, man, that that we benefit directly from. And we're going to remember that in the upcoming mere term elections. We're not gonna just remember it in the primary elections. We're gonna remember it in all elections. We're gonna remember it. Because Kemp down in Georgia just announced he's gonna run up If Stacy Abmans opens her mouth and time and say she gonna run, watch, watch us show you something. So, I mean, what the Biden administration doing is real. Part of what I think we have a responsibility to do is answer what I call the Janet Jackson tests, which is what have you done for me lately? Why does my vote matter? And HBCU is a great example of it. We relieved one point six billion dollars of HBC debt. We forgave it, but we also gave HBCUs two point six billion dollars so that they could recover from the pandemic. And believe it or not, talking to the head of one of the organizations that represents HBCUs, he said he never in a million years our HBCUs will be in a better position coming out of the pandemic than they were going in. But it is our commitment to investing in black communities, black institutions, and empowering us to determine our own destiny. So that four point two billions, which is more than anybody has ever given to HBCUs, we did it basically in our first hundred and forty days in office, and so our commitment is real. And then if you combine it with all the other things that we're doing to be intentional about racial equity, we're not hiding behind you know, rising tide lists or both. We're not saying any of that stuff. What we're saying is systemic racism has kept black and brown people down, and we're gonna go invest in black and brown people. We gave black farmers who've been systemically discriminated against, five billion dollars of loan relief and so those are real, that's smagdab in the black community. And so that's why I that's why I vouched for the president, and that's why I'm unapologetic about this commitment to uplifting all communities. Let me just recap this for you. Just in terms of dollars, they have forgiven one point six billion dollars to HBC debt, erased it gone. They've added and contributed two point six billion dollars into the fun If you add that up, that's four point two billion dollars just to HBCUs. Now the child tax creditors for families making sixty thousand dollars, I mean, let's look, man, and you got children out there six and under, You're gonna get a check starting today for the rest of the year to the tune of thirty two hundred. It's a seventy two hundred dollars tax credit. But listen to this. If you're not sure or if you didn't make enough to qualify for taxes and blah blah blah blah blah, you want to make sure you cut all you got to do is go to Child Tax Credit dot Gov, Child Tax Credit dot Gov and you can find out more about it, and if you haven't setting yourself up, you can register. Everybody can get relief. The Biden administration is serious about that. Our senior advisor, our very own Cedric Richmond's serious about that. We want to thank you for coming on the show and thank you for enlightening us. Thank thank you for having men. I really appreciate it. My man, hey man, keep doing your work. Man, We're watching you.

We got it for you here. It is the Strawberry Letter. Thank you, nephew. Subject you have to watch the Babysitter. Dear Stephen Shirley, I need your advice on an issue with my husband. We've been married almost two years and we are parents of a seven month old baby girl. I'm a nurse and I worked nights seven pm until three am. My husband is an optometrist and he has a licensing exam in Maine. Last month he had one, so he had to be gone for five days. I suggested my friend's best friend. My best friend's sister babysit while I was at work. She's twenty five now and I've known her since she was in third grade. I let her know that we have baby monitors all over the house and there's a ring camera in the baby's room. Things went well the first two nights with her and the baby, and on the third night, I logged onto the video and I saw my baby asleep in her crib, but I heard loud noises sounding like wild and crazy sex. I call the house and she didn't answer. My husband called me and said he heard the same thing, but we couldn't see anything on the camera. When I got home later that night, everything was in order, but I was giving her the side eive. I decided to take our extra ring camera out of our closet and hide it in the den on a shelf. Stephen Shirley. I logged on the next night and got a full porn show. She had some random guy in my house and they were stark naked and going at it in the middle of my den. I called my husband but couldn't reach him. I didn't say a word to the girl about what I saw. I took off work the next night and let her know I didn't need her anymore. When I told my husband about it, he seemed shocked, but then a few days later I caught him in his man cave watching the video. He tried to stop it real quick, but I saw it. Should I be worried that he lied and said he didn't see it. Should I watch the babysitter, please advise? Yes, of course you don't have to watch the babysitter anymore because you fired her. Remember, but you know everybody's lying. Your your husband's for sure lying. And sure if you know if the babysitter comes back, watch her. The receipt is the tape you have that. I say, believe what your eyes and your ears tell you and not anything else. And of course your husband saw it. You caught him watching it. He tried to stop it. I mean, I just think it's real suspicious. You know, everything that's going on. For the first two nights, everything was cool. You heard all this loud noise and everything. You put the other ring camera in there. I mean, just after two nights she brings some random guy in. You know. I think you did the right thing by firing this girl, but you should have told her why, although I'm sure she knows. At this point, I say, you do need a babysitter for when you're working nights and your husband's not home, just in case he has to leave too. But you just need to get one that's more like Missus Doubtfire. You know the movie Missus Doubtfire. Robin Williams play that role, you know, not someone so young and sexy, you know, to tempt your husband and want him to watch the videos and all of that. So, I mean, I think this is kind of an easy fix if you do need a babysitter. But yeah, you need to watch everybody, the babysitter, your husband, what he's watching, the random guy coming to your house, all of this. Just be aware of what's going on in your house. Set cameras up everywhere. Steve surey, where's she going to find though man dress up like a woman? Where is she gonna find a man that's dressed up like a woman? Doutfire, something like a Missus Doubtfire. Oh okay, you had to watch the ads too, All right, Well you have to watch your babysitter. Lady. I'm you know your letter, you knew the advice on an issue with my husband, your husband. Wait a minute, this whole letter ain't really got nothing to do do with your husband. So you your whole letter, you got deeper. You got deeper issues going on here. I need advice on an issue with my husband. Now, when you said that before I heard the letter, we got to watch your babysitter. Course, I'm thinking him and the babysitter got something going on. That's what I'm thinking. Well, the letter unfolds. You got a seven month old, beautiful little girl. You a nurse, You work nights seven pm to three am. Your husband's optometrist. He has a licensing exam in Maine last month, so he was gone for five days. And y'all wouldn't got this babysitter, she twenty five. You known her since she was in the third grade when she grown. Now, all right, I'll let her know that we have monitors all over the house. Man, that's your problem. You told exactly where you had the monitors. Now she knows where it ain't no monitors. Things went well the first two nights or hearing the baby. On the third night, I logged in on the video and I saw my baby sleep in the crib and I heard loud noise that sound like just wild crazy. Six. I call the house. She ain't answer. Well, she was having wild crazy sick. It's hard to talk on the phone when you're having wild, crazy sec I didn't tried it before. It's really hard. I'm talking around, you know. I had a picture coming to the dough one time, and I was having a wild and crazy sex. I hat pitch with cold. It's hell by time I got downstairs. Yeah, it's hard to stop wild crazy sex. That's somebody calling me down phone. I don't give it down. I'm watching the game one time. Start auncing wild and crazy six when I woke up. I don't even know who one wildly got him in here? When you having wild and crazy sex. Why did you call the house? She nothing the answer. We come back, man, I'll tell you the rest of what happened. It really ain't nothing to this letter. I don't even watch she's saying she got an issue with her husband because right now it's just wild and crazy as sex happened in your house. Now, that's all I'm just saying. All right, we'll have part two of your response coming up to the Strawberry letter, the subject you have to watch the babysitter. We'll get back into it right after this. You're listening to show, all right, Come on, Steve, let's recap today's Strawberry Letters. Subject you have to watch the babysitter. Okay, but then the first line is I need advice on an issue with my husband, and I don't see why you do. Lady. Now I will try to get to it. You will nurse your work nights and your husband had an exam to go to. Here, I'm truma, just so you hired her babysity you've known since the third grade. She twenty five. Now you told her your head cameras all over the house and baby monitors man, so she knew where the cameras was. Well you, things went well the first two nights, and on the third night, I all getting on the video and I saw you baby sleep in the creep when your baby saying that's what you hired, the baby sitting fall, the baby in the crib sleep, the baby sitter doing her job. But you heard some loud no, it sound like wild and crazy say, well the baby sleep. Now you have wild and crazy sex and baby being a crib brown the cone because they sleep through all kinds of stuff, fire trucks, whoa, whoa whoa, police everything, helicopters. They don't hit the baby, just be sleeping. I call the house and she didn't aunce. Now I told you get the phone. People having wild and crazy say, you don't need you calling down now. Ain't nobody got time to answer this phone. Then you think that baby wouldn't hit that wild and crazy sex. I don't a problem about promise you that little girl ain't hit that damn phone. Rang it because you got other things to do. When you having a wild and crazy sex. You're trying to get your foot up off that TV. You got your got your knee on the back of your husband lounge chair. Yeah, wild and crazy sex, you probably ain't even hit the damn phone. Right, I'm just gonna be there. Some people probably ain't dobell. She didn't hear that either. I'm just saying that's how wild and crazy it is. When you having wild crazy. Say well, you got to pay attention wild crazy said she didn't. That got one hand hanging on your drapes, trying not to tell he drapes down, and she got the other foot on top of the flow model TV because y'all old, y'all doctors, and y'all ain't updated to TV. So y'all got the flow model. She got foot on top of that console and it's just just wild crazy sex, right, okay? Cool? I called her, how she didn't answer. Your husband called me and said he heard the same thing, but we couldn't see anything on the camera. I got home lady that night, everything was in order. I was giving her the side out of I decided to take out our extra ring camera out of our closet, hid it in the den on the shelf. Steve and shitty. I logged in on the next night and got a four pawn show. Yes, no, what I think that's why you said that camera You already know they had wild and crazy sex. And the name of the poem movie you was watching with babysit have gone crazy. She just in there and that she come talking about she had some random guy in the house. She hadn't a random guy in the house. The same dudees over that last night. You just didn't have the video. This ain't no random guy. This the guy that had a wild and crazy sex. Random guy could be just anybody. Everybody can't have wild and crazy sex. I got a couple of friends can't do that. They too square, you know, they got a little you know they do different type of work. You know, they work at the government. They don't do wild crazy six. You got to be kn't be just random to do wild crazy six. You got the particular kind of Tommy, my nephew, he do wild crazy six crazy like that. He all that time. He ignorant Junior. I don't really think Junior do wild crazy six. I don't really know, but he might. But he got sick of sale, so I don't know if he probably but he probably ain't trying to have no crisis or nothing. He probably just had a regular, good old second. But I don't know if he's gonna had no wild crazy saycause we don't hand no damn crisis. I don't know that. Yeah, he can't get dehydrated. He that's hardly had wild crazy sense and be drinking the old damn tame so that I don't know. So and uh, And they had a random guy in the house. They were starting naked, going all that in the middle of my den. I called my husband, but I couldn't reach him. Well, I mean you couldn't reach him, called your husband. Well, we're gonna leave that long. I didn't say a word to the girl about what I saw. I took off work the next night and let her know I didn't need her anymore. When I told my husband about it, he seemed shocked. What But then a few days later I caught him in his man cave watching the video. He tried to stop it real quick, but I saw it. Should I be worried that? He lied and said he didn't see it? What he pulled up the cameras that was watching it. He didn't want you to know he was watching it, so he lied and said he ain't seen it. What you're worried about that fault? You gotta get another damn baby said it, Sherley, What is she worried about? That fault? So? What? So? What he saw the video? What you want to tell you, baby, I've been watching this hoo, this little girl right here. I'm trying to tell you, is that what you wanted him to say? Cut the video? You don't want your wife to know you watching that. That's why he lied. Let me ask you something, Sherley. If you thought you could cut the video off that you was watching and your husband walked in on you and he said, baby, where was you watching? You wouldn't lie? Probably not, that's a lie. And so he well, see we men and we gonna lie. I it's an issue to her. And if he she saw him and he lied about it, that's an issue. Why are you lying? Wow? All right listen?

Moving on, Kelsey and Richmond, Virginia says, I'm a thirty year old hairstyles and one of my clients is messing with a married man. That man's wife comes to another stylist in the salon, and through other gossiping women in the salon, they found out about each other. While my client was under the dryer Saturday, someone keyed her car and wrote on it with a permanent marker. My customer thinks me and the other stylists should pay for the damage because she's too ashamed to file an insurance claim. Am I liable since it was on my property? No? WHOA, No, you're not liable for the car if he gets stolen on your property. No, she has insurance. Her insurance is liable for that. Coming up, it is our last break of the day, and at forty nine minutes after, of course, it is some closing remarks from the one and Only our fearless leader, Steve Harvey. Right after this, you're listening morning show. All right, guys, here we are our last break of the day on this Thursday. This week is rolling by. First I thought it was slow. Now it's getting fast, going by fast. It really is, Yeah, it really is. Yep. But it's been a good day. It's been a good day, all right, Steve. You know, Oh, I guess I'm gonna kind of stay in the mode of motivation because I want to inspire people because you know, look, I think so many people can get so discouraged by so many different things. I mean, you know, for some it seems like bigger items than others. But you know, it's all in perspective. It all depends on the amount of experience you have in life, on how well you handle setbacks and trials and tribulations. So it's all relative. When you see a person that's thinking about giving up for a lesser reason than you would, it doesn't make that reason not valid. It's very valid. It's just they may not have the experience with grapping or coping with situations like you. But I want to say something to everybody that's on their road to success. It is a tough road. It is a tough road. It is a difficult journey. It is not easy to become successful. It's just not. And I think when people start running up into those obstacles, it's easy to say, Wow, this is really hard and give up and quit. But I want to tell you something. See, whenever God is about to do something great for you, I've found that in those moments, the devil is also aware of your future too. He sees when God is doing great things in your life, and he sees when God is blessing you. His job is to rob you of that destiny to get to where God has all has ordained a plan for you to be. So what he does is when he looks into your future and he sees that God is about to do something big for you, he throws at you the opposition. Have you noticed that it comes from people you thought you were cool with that, It comes from people that you've done so much for that it comes out of the side, out of the bushes, almost out of a dark your hard where you just go, Where did that come from? Why they tripping? After all I did? It always seems like it comes out of nowhere, because that's one of the devil's best tricks. He tries to blindside you with it. And the more hurtful he can be towards you, the more he can throw you off the course. So he presents, of course, people that you know, you care about, that you thought was your friends, that you thought was all right with you. And it comes from that angle right there. What I'm saying is, on this journey to success, be prepared for opposition, because it's going to come. It is a part of the process. None of us will get to where we want to be in life without going through the process. Now you know how you hear motivational speakers talking and you hear the audience member go oh that's good, that's good, that's good, and they start writing on it. Oh I like that, Or the preacher be talking and go oh that's good, that's good. That's good, that's good. You know, people get inspired by that. I guess I'm the same way as anybody else. But when I talk to people about success, I try to make it instead of good, I try to make it understandable. I try to get you to grab this thing that I'm talking to you about. In the simplest form of fashion, so you can move on with it. I'm just saying this to you as plain as I can. On your road to success. The devil gonna throw them obstacles at you. Every time something good is coming your way, they got to throw something bad at your way. Something's happening in my life right now to try to throw out my progress. But I'm aware of it. That don't mean that that's that is easy. And it doesn't mean that because I'm aware of it, I know how to cope with it better I do. But it still bothers me. It still bothers me to somebody that I did so much for can turn so easily because they see a buck and they can turn. But you know what I've also learned about this road to success. God don't put more on you than you can bath. Do you know sometimes that you're going through stuff not only to show you something, but to teach the person that's around you a lesson to you know that God uses your strift to teach the weaker or the evil a lesson through you. Have you ever noticed that. I don't know if you have. That's a hard one to come to the realization that you're going through something and you're not enjoying it, but it's gonna teach that person that's trying to do something to you. They've been to learn a real valuable lesson. It's gonna cost you a little bit, but God, I already know you got the strift to handle it, because he'd have done so many things with you and for you throughout the years. He knows you can handle it, so he allows things to happen to you. But he's also gonna show that person that's trying to do you, he gonna show him something. He's gonna teach him a valuable lesson. You're just the vessel to get it done, but you use that way because you're strong enough. So in this case, I have to remember that about myself, but I also want you to remember it about yourself, that you are strong, that everything you've ever gone through, every hardship, every every struggling moment. Like I always say, your track record for surviving hardship and struggling moments, your track record for surviving that. It's one that's pretty good track record, y'all. So all you gotta do is keep on waking up, keep on believing, keep on praying, keep on working, and You're gonna get through that too, just like me. And at the end of the day, the person is trying to do you the most. Hum be careful when you dig a grade. You might have to dig too or you might end up in that hole yourself. You got to be careful. Remember that, y'all. Have a great day. God loves you. Hey, y'all, talk to God. He loved to hear from you. We'll see y'all tomorrow, y'all, Stay heavy, stay blessed, Stay big.
