Today's show is pre recorded. Y'all know what time y'all don't know y'all at all? Suit giving them like the milking bu bus things and y'all good Steve, listen to moviegether for Stuy, don't join Jo. You gotta use that turn you. You gotta turn the turnout turn. You got to turn them out to turn the water the water go. Come, come on your back, h I sure will. Good morning everybody, y'all listening to the voice, Come on dig me now, one and only Steve Harvey got a radio show. Hell Man back in business too, Man Man, how good is God? I mean, really, if you think about it in spite of all that's going down in your life, First of all, it could be worse. But secondly, sometimes you have to remember. And I've just had to have this conversation with myself this morning. That's how I'm fresh on this one right here. When a challenge faces you, are you going through a difficult moment, or you didn't hit a bump in the road in the middle of that, If you could manage to be grateful, it would take you a long way. Gratitude is a powerful resource. If you can be grateful in the middle of it. Gratitude is a powerful resource when it's dim. For you, didn't got a little bumpy on the road, and he ran into some obstacles, and you didn't ran up into some detooled signs and your journey ain't smooth as it was last week or last year. You gotta be grateful for the things that are going right and that have gone right, and for the thing that's wrong right now to get right? Man? Can I share that with you? Man? Is that a tough one to learn? It is? For me, It has been one of my toughest challenges is to learn how to be grateful because it's a powerful resource, but how to be grateful in moments of despair when it ain't going right. See here's a mistake I would make. See when something go wrong, I want to focus on the wrong so much in an attempt to fix it. But even then, the focus ain't always in to fix it. The focus becomes, Man, this is bad, man, I can't believe this is happening. Why just keep going down? That doesn't fix anything, you know, mealing over it, going over what's wrong, explaining it, sharing it with your friends, you know, making it sound worse than it is, tell the story for pity from other people. All of that right there, has nothing to do with the fix. Sometimes you're just mulling over it. You're just making it worse. You're just making it a bigger problem. You're manifesting it into your atmosphere, You're putting it out there in your spirit. Now, all of a sudden, it consumes your day. Next thing, you know, you're having a bad day. If you're having a bad day, it's because you've been having some bad thoughts. So what I've had to learn how to do, and what I'm working on this morning, is I'm working on this situation that's been cropped up. I was going kind of smooth here for a minute, and now I didn't got real bumpy in the road, you know, and all this here. So what I'm thinking about now, though, is even though I've hit a bump in the road, and even though i'd and ran into a detour, and even though I've hit this love, I'm going down into a valley, I ain't up on the peak. Can I not still be grateful for all the things that God has given me, for all the things He's done for me, for all the things he's brought me through, and realizing that even this that's happening to me again is going to pass too. He gonna get me through that attitude. Come home, man. God is a good god man. It's a lot to be grateful for. So while I'm tripping on this bumping the road out and here, what I gotta remember is all the things He's done for me. And like I say, my saying is joined depression cannot reside in the same place. So instead of being down about this new bumping the road, if I'm constantly filling my mind with the thoughts of how good he's been to me, of what all he's done for me, of all the things he's brought me through, of all the blessings he's presented me with, when I go down that I really don't have a lot of time to mull over the situation. Now. Do I have to fix this bump in the road. Of course I do. Are There's some things I'm going to have to do the straighten it out, of course it is. But Steve just going to get the business of doing it and straighten it out. What you mulling over and wearing about it for you know, old people I heard old people say something I was growing up in the church. They say, if you're gonna pray about it, don't worry about it. But if you're gonna worry about it, don't pray about it. That's an amazing thing. And prayer just happens to be my weapon of choice. Now, it ain't always been that way. I want you to understand that my first weapon of choice was you do it to me, I do it to you. You call me out, I call you out, you say something bad about me. I've tried to find you and say something bad about you. That was my weapon in the past. How did that work out for you, Steve? Not so good? Because you know what, I spent a lot of time fighting back, kicking back, swinging back, when I could have spent all that time climbing. See, all you're trying to do at the end of the day, folks, is have a better life than the one you got. All you're trying to do is to improve your position in life. You know, it's not my business to make sure you don't get where you're going. Ain't got no time for that. It's not my job to assure that you ain't as high as me. I ain't got no time for that. Your real mission and purpose is to have the best life that you can have, to ascend to the highest plateau that you can get to, to make your family as comfortable as you can, to provide as much as you can for your family. But legally, see, those of us are sitting up here trying to come up with sideways. You can ask a couple million men sitting in prison today how they wish they hadn't have done that, and they'll tell you, Oh, man, I wish I never had did it. I knew not to go down there. Something told me not to go down there. Man. If I could change things, I would. But they're sitting somewhere doing some time that had they made another decision they wouldn't have to do. Now. That don't make them throw away people, na, man, because everybody makes mistakes, and God is in the forgiving business, and some of us have done some things that really broke the law and a whole lot of other things and deserve to do some time. But through the grace of God, we didn't. But now we set up here and we passed judgment on people who got to do something. Man, I don't care I don't care what you've done. God can't forgive anything, but our position, our motivation in life is to try to have the best life we can have and provide for those around us and make it comfortable. If that's your ambition, you don't have time to worry about or concern yourself with another person. And I wasted time doing that, And that's not the way to get it done. It's simply mine to your business taking care of you and getting yourself right and tight. It's twenty four of it, so that's a full time job. So what I had to learn was and what I've the reason I've chosen prayer as as my weapon of choice now is that now prayer helps me that I don't have to fight back. Now, if I get cornered, I'm gonna fight you. I ain't even gonna lie to you. And now I'm still working on some things that trigger me. You know, you know, you know, and and and and so I'm I'm slowly getting better at that. But I've learned that my weapon of choice is prayer now. So when it happens ugly for me, I pray about it. When it gets tight and dismal for me, I pray about it. And the thing about prayer man is prayer changes things. Yes, it does. Now read about it and try it. That's the deal. Okay, come on, prayers of wonderful weapons. You're listening, ladies and gentlemen. Let's have it. You know what I look for every day, you undivided attention. This is Monday morning. We're all blessed to be here. Everybody's safe and healthy, I hope so. I hope everybody's following what the officials are asking us to do. Social distancing.

We're so appreciative of your help and that of so many others who have stepped up. So congratulations, got A. That's not what he wanted to say. What do you mean start? Thanks? Wow? Well? Uh. In other news, guys entertainment news actor Miguel Nunez, best known for his role as Juwanna Man, was arrested for shoplifting. Um mcguill was checking out at a Ralph's grocery store in Los Angeles when his credit card got declined, so he just took his groceries in the cart and walked right out of the store. Then a few days later, Bill Yeah, he returned to the store, same grocery store and was arrested, but the cops just gave him a ticket for the misdemeanor, because, as we all know, during this pandemic, the cops are not jailing people for minor offenses. However, according to Miguel, he was in a long line at the story, standing six week feet away and decided to leave with his groceries and he planned on paying for them on another day. That when they don't know what you've got, well he should when he should have went in as Joanna Man and not Miguel. I don't know why. I don't know why you would steal something as Miguel dressed up as Joanna Man's your character, go down there, steal and come back and said, my sister in law just stole some stuff from here and I'd like to pay for it. But you know, Joanna Man, that just don't make sense to me why he went as mc don't sound like mcguel either, man, No, don't yeah, sound like don't make sense. Listen to me.

I don't know why I don't go back into the round three All right, Time to get caught up on today's headline feed. Let's go he miss trip. Good morning everybody. Yeah, that was that was deep, okay. Starting out with the latest coronavirus figures everybody worldwide, there are over six hundred and fifty seven thousand positive cases with thirty thousand, four hundred and thirty eight deaths. Nationally, over one hundred and twenty five thousand COVID nineteen cases with some twenty two hundred deaths. In New York State over fifty thousand cases. We've mentioned New York State because New York State has so many, such a large percentage of all the new coronavirus cases, So we watched New York State numbers very closely. President Trump's quickly backed off of the idea he floated on Saturday about quarantining parts of New York, New Jersey, and Connecticut. A New York governor Cuomo said he would sue, and Trump said he and Trump was reminded after that about how cutting off that part of the country it includes Wall Street, might make stock investors kind of nervous, and said the government's now issuing advisories against any non essential travel to the New York area, and doctor Anthony Fauci, a member of the President's Coronavirus Task Force, tells CNN State of the Union that that sort of advisory does make sense. Which you don't want is people traveling from that area to other areas of the country and inadvertently and innocently infecting other individuals. With New York State now the epicenter of the coronavirus, governors in Texas, Florida, Maryland, and South Carolina have ordered people arriving from New York, New Jersey in Connecticut to self quarantine themselves for at least fourteen days now. Rhode Islands imposed the most dramatic regulation, cops in that state pulling over at least order to pull over vehicles with New York plates, collecting contact information, and forcing a two week quarantine. And Rhode Island's governor went further. She said she ordered her state national hard to go door to door in coastal communities and a further effort to locate people who'd recently arrived there from the New York area. Well New York's Governor Coulmo said I'm su all it at. So then Rhode Island backed off of some of that. Doctor Fauci, by the way, says that New York City area accounts for some fifty six percent of all new infections in the country. Trump also did about face on gun shops, which would deem non essential and therefore in order to close the National Rife Association threatened to see about that. So Trump had gun stores switched to the essential services calm let mean gun stores are open. Fishers in Florida Scay hospitals there will soon receive shipments of hydroxy clo quinn. That's a President Trump. That's the anti malaria drug that President Trump says is a potential treatment for COVID. Nineteen Detroit Auto Show has been canceled. The venue you've been turned into a giant makeshift hospital. Got some good sports related news. One of the first NBA players the test positive for the coronavirus has recovered.

Your body's here with me, but your mind is on the other side of town. Here we go, Steve. Dear Stephen Shirley. I am a fifty seven year old married woman and I've been married for twenty five years. It's been an agonizing marriage because my husband has cheated on me several times with many different women. He got caught most of the time, and I would act a fool and threaten the females, and then he'd apologize and promised to stop cheating, and I'd believe him. But the last time I found out he was cheating, I found the woman at her job and beat the breaks off her in the parking lot because she had known me for years, and this betrayal hurt worse than the others. After the fight, I told my husband that that was it and I was done with his foolishness. He's terrified that I will leave him, so if he's cheating now, he's being very discreet. We're still married and living together, but mentally I have moved on from him, and I reconnected with the true love of my life. It's an old boyfriend of mine that has been divorced for two years, and he has nothing but time and lots of good loving just for me. For the past year, we've been inseparable, but my husband knows nothing about us. We were going on our first vacation this spring, but now our plans are on hold and I haven't seen him and felt his touch in two weeks because I'm quarantine with my sorry, cheating husband. My boyfriend has been facetiming me every day and keeps begging me to pack up my things and come to his house. All right, I'm worried about what our friends will think if I leave home during the quarantine. Am I crazy for caring about his feelings? Should I pack up and go be with my soul mate? My body is here with my husband, but my mind is on the other side of town with my boyfriend. How should I handle this situation? Please advise? Well, I have to tell you that I'm sure you're not alone during this quarantine. A lot of people are feeling the same way you are. You know, they're stuck in the house with someone, but their mind is with you know, their other significant other, be that a boyfriend, a girlfriend, someone they're cheating with, whatever, But that's the situation. You're not alone. I also have to tell you that you know, two wrongs don't make it right. You know this, Okay, this started out as a revenge move on your part that blossomed into this full blown affair with this boo that you're calling your soulmate, the guy that you really love. You've been married to your husband for twenty five years, you've been for fifty something years. You've been taking his crap for half your life because you're you're you're fifty seven years old, and I got to ask you, why why are you allowing him to treat you this way? When you kept taking him back and you gave him no reason whatsoever to stop cheating. I mean, that did it right there. He had the best of both worlds. He disrespected you your marriage numerous time, and he still thinks all he has to do. He would say something like baby, I'm sorry, and here he is back in again. The lesson for you to learn here is you got to stand up for yourself. I mean, no man should be should be allowed to treat you that way. What happens if you get with this new guy your boo, your soul mate, and he starts cheating down the line, you can't take it from him either. But you know you don't have to worry about that right now because we're all quarantine and your boyfriend only asked you to pack your bags and come be with him at his house. I mean, if it's true love, you know, is he gonna wait for you and all of that until after the quarantine, after you get a divorce from your serial cheater of a husband. Those are the things you need to know before you actually make a move to get with this guy, if that's what you want. Since you're so finished with your husband, you know, then you can really walk into this new relationship and the baggage free. So those are the things you have to think about while you're quarantine with your cheating husband. Okay, Steve Well, fifty seven year old married woman, been married twenty five years, like Shirley said, half year life, been an agonizing marriage. Your husband had cheated on you several times, many different women. He got caught most of the time, you ain't caught all of them because it's been many And then what was your reaction? Though you'd act a fool and then you threatened the females. Then he'd apologized, tell you we aren't gonna do it no more. You believed him. But then the last time I found out he was cheating, I found a woman at his job, and I beat the brakes off of her in the parking lot because she has known me for years. And this brutal and this betrayal hurt worse than the others. Hold on, you didn't ran the risk of going to jail. You went in the parking lot, jumped on a woman for cheating with your husband. How you keep confronting all these women's that ain't depth there, all these women that haven't taken a vow to you. The only person in this in this letter that took a vow to you is your husband. The rest of these people don't know you. The rest of these people what you're just jumping on with me? Your marriage sound like it's been a mess. So now when I come back, I'm gonna answer the question for you. Your question is how should I have this situation? Please advise That's what I'm gonna do, all right, Steve, We'll have part two of your response coming up in twenty three minutes after the hour. Today's subject. My mind is on the other side of town. We'll get back into it right after this. You're listening to show. Come on, Steve. Let's recap today's strawberry letter. My mind is on the other side of town. My body's hill. I knew you were going to but my mind is all the other side of time. Thing it Joey boy boy, Ji Junior, shut up, Hey man, listen to you disrespectful So you know sometimes junior and junior or junior after the quarantine is over. I'm slacking. I'm a slack fifty seven year old married woman, been married twenty five years. The worst marriage you could be. A husband cheated on a bunch of times with different women. Always catch him, the he sheet act, the food called threatening, all the females. They need to apologize, promise to stop cheating. You believe it, but then you find out he was cheating with this woman at her job and went down there and jumped on the woman beat the brakes off of in the parking lot because she has known you for years, and this one hurt you more than others. So after the fight, you told your husband that was it and I was done with his foolishness. Here's where the letter gets stupid. He's terrified that I will leave him? When did he start getting scared of you? See, you're trumping up stuff. Now he's terrified that I will leave him. When has this man ever been scared of you? You've jumped on women, You've called women, you threatened with it, and he keep doing what he want to do. This man ain't scared of you. He's terrified that I will leave him. So if he is cheating now, he's being very discreet. He is. We still married and living together, but mentally I've moved on from him and I've reconnected with the true love of my life. It's an old boy friend of man. He's been divorced two years and he ain't got number time and lots of good loving just for me. Now. For the past year, y'all been inseparate, but your husband knows nothing about us. Really, I think he do. See if you've been inseparable for a year, that means you've been off with this guy on a bunch of occasions. You ain't been coming home as normal. Your husband ain't said nothing to you about it, and he don't know. That's because you didn't clear the close co stuff for him to do more cheating. That's all. This is when a man ain't asking you where you being, where you're at this because he don't care. He might if you are doing something, he don't care because it's giving him more time to do something. Now, we were going on our first vacation this spring. Women, excuse me, You and the boyfriend was going on a vacation together, and I guess he wasn't gonna know about that either, Okay, right, But now our plans are on whole, and I haven't seen him or felt his touch in two weeks because I'm quarantine with my sorry cheating hus My boyfriend has been facetiming me every day and keeps begging me to pack up my things and come to his house. I'm worried about what our friends would think if I leave home doing the quarantine. What your friends would think? What about the Center for Disease Control? Thought about what they might you have thought about? Just something like that, your friends? What do your friends have to do about this? Do your friends know what's going on? Probably? Am I crazy for caring about his feelings? Who's feelings? You're talking about? Your husband? That they never cared about your feelings? Should I pack up and go be with my soul mate? Technically you should have been packed up. I ain't saying with your soul mate, but it seemed to me like you should have been out of here twenty five years agonizing marriage. Why are you still that now? Should you pack up to go with your soul mate? I don't know, but you should have been out of there? And why is it quarantine keeping you at home? You go somewhere and be by yourself. My body is here with my husband. My body is here, but my mind the other side of town. You listen to your best meal, run whoa one more time? Your vibe is here with me, set me, but your minds all the other side of time. Get you yeah, you're messing meal? Right? Get you up? Yeah? Yeah, but your minds all the other side of time. You're right, don't you do it? That's what you're doing? Now? How should I handle this situation? Please? Abbe? Why are you staying with the man that you can't stand and improve? He don't really care nothing about you? Y'all ain't even you ain't mentioning this ladder. Y'all working on your magic nothing. You just got a phone call from an old boy friend and boot you gonne. He ain't asking you where you've being you, he don't even care where you're being somebody. You don't playing a spring vacation, and he ain't gonna ask you where are you going in? He don't care.

Yes, and some closing remarks from the one and only Steve Harvey, and we'll pay tribute to a fallen civil rights leader, Joseph Lorrie coming up right after this. You're listening show. Before we get out of here, Stephen, get to your clothing remarks. Um, just got to say a few words about Reverend Joseph Lowry. Um. He was a key figure in the civil rights movement. Of course. He passed away on Friday in Atlanta of natural causes. They were unrelated to the coronavirus. Coronavirus. That's what his family, uh told the Associated Press in a statement. Reverend Lowry was ninety eight years old. He was hailed as the Dean of the Civil Rights movement. Upon his receipt of them Double ACP's Lifetime Achievement Award. Doctor Lowry had assumed and executed a broad and diverse series of roles over the span of his lifetime. Yeah, he was one of the founders of the Southern Leader called SCLC s CLC, and just a powerful man in terms of civil rights. For for young people who don't know, civil rights was a movement man, it was, it was, it was. It was a gang of older blacks. Yeah, and and some whites who fought really really hard to get the things that we benefit from today so so easily and readily that we take for granted. These a lot of these things that we benefit from today would never it just wasn't a part of the makeup for the African American back in the day. You know, you're sitting down eating lunch where you want to. That was not the case. He was here fighting for that, you know, the riding in the bus, that was not everybody couldn't do that. That that some people fought for us to be able to do that. That's the importance of your history. And Joseph Lowry's one of the great leaders of our time and he's ninety eight years old. That's a full run. Our condolences go out to his family, But I'm sure look we all would love to see ninety eight maybe, you know, hopefully so, you know, God bless him man in the work and the contribution he made to black people. Absolutely. Yeah, My closing remarks today is going to be interesting because I'm taking them from the message I saw yesterday. Marjor and I will watch the TV and we cut on Joel Olstein and he was live from his church, Lakewood Church in Houston, and he was recording it. And that wasn't a soul there, That was not a soul in the compacts of it. He gave a message man, that really resonated with me. And these were some of the points I'm paraphrasing it. Of course, you can go to joel ostein dot com and get it for yourself. But the message he was talking about was to use your faith man, in this time that we're all going through, because we're all going through it. Everybody's affected with this, whether you realize it or not, We're all affected it and we all eventually will know someone who is suffering from from this incredible virus that's attacking us, you know. But in through all of this, if you are a person of faith, you have to remember that God is in charge, that God is still on the throne. I keep saying, this too shall pass. This moment was created and has come about, and it's given all of us a moment to pause, a moment to reflect, but a moment to absorb what it is. And you know, every time God is gonna do something great. You know sometimes in your life. I've found that some of the greatest moments in my life were in troubled times. God has brought me through some incredible storms, and He gonna bring us through this one too. This wasn't God made or anything like this, but it's a situation that's happening, and the world has to pay attention to this. That are people unifying who have never unified before. That country's talking that have never talked before. But you got to understand how God has worked in the past through some of the stories in the Bible. When He was bringing all of the Israelites out past Pharaoh and all of this, and they were and he parted the Red Sea. He was describing how they were walking across the Red Sea after God had parted the waters, how afraid they must have been. The sound of the wind that God pushed down through here to keep that water at bay, and walking through here holding on to their children and they loved ones and looking at that water hoping that they could get there. And they was rushing across and they was carrying the elderly, and how they were just hoping that water would hold up, but not really sure. And Joe Losteen went on to remind us that you ain't in the middle of a crisis, that you were in the middle of a miracle. That something good is going to happen for those that believe in love God. You're gonna come out of this on the other side. It's like walking through that water when he held it back on both sides. When you get out on the other side, you gonna have come through something. Man. You you could be right now in the middle of a miracle, but you got to stay positive and look forward. Man. You know it's it's like Isaiah fifty four and seventeen for me, which is my favorite scripture, scripture no form and we formed against me your prosper I just have always believed that. And I'm telling you I've lived my life as people have attacked me and come after me and and and said things about me. But man, God just keep on holding me together, and when I come out on the other side, I'm always better. The same thing can happen for you because God is doing a new thing in you. This time of being in the house and quarantine, that could be God could be working on a new thing in you. Man, you just got to give it an opportunity. You got it. Dare's something new going on if you believe it was your faith. Man, stop going to church and don't apply your favor or we're going through something right now. We're all going through something right now. It ain't just you. Now. Some people are gonna come out of this on the other side and gonna get the blessed. They're gonna get the understand it and they're gonna be all right. Man. But always remember this now, God can do what medicine can't do. So if you're in a crisis and you got God, you got more than medicine because God can do what medicine can't do. And I know what some people on this show can tell you that, and you know somebody that could tell you that. So y'all stay with it, man, don't give up.
