And it's not me true good at Steve hard listening to mother for ste Please by, I don't join joining me. You gotta use that turn be. You gotta turn to turn them out, turn got to turn out, then turn the water the water come come on your back. Uh huh, I show well if you wanted. Everybody y'all listening to the voice, come on dig me now, one and only Steve Harvey got a radio show today, folks. I just want to dive right in because I think I got it here. It is. Did you know that there is a life for you that's greater than you could have ever dreamed of? Did you know that there's a life for you better than the one you've ever felt before? And did you know that there was a life for you much bigger than the one you wanted? And lastly, did you know that what I just said it's true? Did you know that? Did you know that the things I just said are available to you? It's not just intended for those who receive awards, It's for everybody. Yeah, you two. It's for you who didn't get your high school diploma. It's for you who are incarcerated. It's for you who have two strikes. It's for you who've been sentenced to life. It's for you who've gotten out and have a felony record and can't seem to get it together. It's for you who have an illness. It's for you who the doctors have given up on. It's for you, this life I'm talking about, it's for you. Did you know that there's a life for you better than the one you dreamed about, better than the one you've imagined, a life better than the one you thought of, That there's a life for you better than the one you've ever felt before. There's a life for you better than the one you saw for yourself. There's a better life for you than the one you expected and even the one you wanted. Did you know that this is true for you? See, here's let me give you the secret to this thing. Now you have to believe that it is for you. Now, you got to fight through the doubts. You got to fight through the will of Satan. Because the devil is busy man. The devil wants you to think that is hopeless. The devil wants you to think that this is it. The devil wants you to think that ain't no more to it. The devil wants you to think that this applies to other people. But you, Yeah, you've been dealt the words hand of them all, which you ain't. But that's what the devil wants you to think. So you gotta fight through. Now. You gotta fight through to get to what I just said is available for you. But what else you got to do? You ain't doing nothing else, might as well fight? Why just wake up and just let it be? Why would you wake up every day and just exist when there's a chance for you to actually live. See the reason I don't mind smiling so much now is because I'm no longer existing. I'm living now. See. See, that's what you want to get to. You don't want to exist, to wake up paycheck to paycheck, date today, not knowing, not understanding, not having, can't can't get this, can't get that, can't go here, can't go there, Gotta wait, gotta wait, gota wait, gota wait till it seems like you never get nowhere. You can get out of that rut of life, feeling like when you wake up in the morning, that your life is whole hum that you're just in a rut. I drive the same way to work. I do the same thing on my job. When I get off, I drive all the way back home. I sit there, I read the newspaper. I watered the lawn. I'm so sick of my life. It ain't this, ain't what I wanted. Man, and start wake up and start over, do the same thing. Then the weekend gets in. You got to mow the lawn, and then you try to fix something in the garage, and you feel like your life is in the rut I'm talking about. If this feels like a rut to you now, if it's what you've always wanted, I'm cool with that. But I'm talking to people who want it more, who would love their life to be more, who would love their life to different, to be different. I'm not criticizing you if I just described your life. I'm just only talking to the ones who would dare to believe that there's more to it than this. I'm only talking to the ones who would dad dad to accept the challenge, to fight through and see what God got for you instead of listening to Satan all the time. Devil is busy, man, Please understand, he's so busy, so busy, and to trick you, get you into the groove. You know they're doing all kinds of stuff now man, you know atheists and already got prayer. Taking out of schools. Excuse me, look at our skills schools, not as a push by the atheist to get the words in God we trust, taking off our money. Here's a deal. If you don't believe in God and you don't want trust in God, just going about your business. But what you can't do is spill off all into what I'm talking about. That's the problem I have with all of them. If you're gonna do you, didn't do you, but don't spill off into what I got. Now. See, if you don't believe what I'm saying, then I ain't talking to you. Let's just be clear about the relationship with Steve Harvey and his crew. I'm only talking to the people that believe that are looking for something else, that wants something more, that wants something better, that's got to be out there searching and hoping and trying to do more. That's all I'm talking to now. If you don't believe what I'm saying is true, didn't go ahead and try it your way, go see write me, email me, let me know how it's going for you. But I'm telling you of a way that's tried and true. If you go to God, if you go to your creator, your makeup, if you go to him and you go to him for real and tell him, hey, you know what I want you to go ahead and take over from here. I'm done. I didn't done all I know how to do out and tried everything I know how to try. I'm sick of me right now. Hey, look here, you created me what you want me to do, and here a cool thing about it. When I made that decision, y'all see, I was so afraid for years that I was gonna miss out on something if I did that. I couldn't do this no more. But the stuff I needed to stop doing. I really need to stop the things I was afraid of not being able to do anymore with the very same things I really didn't need to be doing no more in the first place, on the real man, on the real all that temporary fun I was having all them temporary outlets. I was using all them temporary things trying to fulfill myself I was doing. I was just doing a bunch of temporary mess man. I said, hold up, man, I want something permanent. Man, I want a permanent feeling in my heart that it's gonna be all right. So he replaced all that fun with joy. But it's only because I went and I faced him. He didn't take me and stop me from being me. He just made a better version of me. See, God, don't take he because all the stuff he sent you through, he needed you to go through all him. He needed you to have him experience or what it felt like to be locked up. He needed you to have experience and know what it was to lose everything. He needed you to have experience to make you tough. You're just gonna be a tough one. I'm a tough soldier in his army. That's all. I just say. One of the weak ones. I protect the weak ones. God didn't take a lot of stuff from except the stuff I needed. But the stuff he made me to be, he allowed me to keep it, and he just made a better me. Do that, y'all, and you can have what you want. You're ladies and gentlemen, may have you undivided attention. Please, this is the Steve Harvey Morning Show. We're not in full of company right now.

Um, did you guys know that a Biggie Yeah Notorious big Uh song was quoted during the impeachment trial. Well, in case we missed it, this was crazy. I'm sure you all saw this. Jeffries, hold on, he did his thing though. Trump's lawyer Jay Sekulo asked, why are we here House of Representatives impeachment manager Haakim Jeffries, who represents New York's eighth congressional Yeah, it was it was good. It's good. Yeah, don't worry, don't worry, We got you. How came Jeffries told him, we are here, sir, because President Trump corruptly abused his power and then he tried to cover it up. And then Jeffries quoted a line from Biggie's song juicy. But wait, take a listen. The Internet is undefeated. They put Biggie's track underneath Representative Jeffrey's speech. Take a listen to this, Steve. We are here, sir, because President Trump pressured a foreign government to target an American citizen for political and personal gain. We are here, sir, because President Trump solicited foreign interference in the twenty twenty election and corrupted our democracy. We are here, sir, because President Trump withheld three hundred and ninety one million dollars in military aid from a vulnerable Ukraine without justification, in a manner that has been deemed unlawful. We are here, sir, because President Donald Trump elevated his personal political interests and subordinated the national security interests of the United States of America. We are here, sir, because President Trump corruptly abused his power and then he tried to cover it up. And we are here, sir, to follow them back, apply the law, be guided by the Constitution, and present the truth to the American people. That is why we are here. It's the secular And if you don't know, now you know, stoptor make right then So the Biggie line is, if you don't know now you know. Yeah, you don't know. Nobody else you don't know that. If if you thought I knew, now you know, I don't the hell what I know that everybody knows that everybody but see I mean if I heard him say it, like when he heard the speech without the track on it, I would not know that that's from a song. If you don't know, now you know, I wouldn't. I would just thank you saying well, if you didn't know, now you know, I wouldn't have never attributed that to Biggie. But I when you play it, I hear it, I know it, but I didn't. That ain't what I thought of, right because but like you said, the internet is undefeated. So yeah, undefeated. They got it. But but but the sad part about it, that's not gonna phase one Republican at all. No one. But don't you think they tired of him? Though you think they got to be behind closed doors, Tom They know for a fact that he is comp completely uncapable and unqualified to be president of the United States. They have to know that, and they know it. But they're not gonna let that little fact get in the way of their power, position, and money. Period right, he's there stupid and as long as they have hit, they're stupid in charge. They're in charge, right, but behind closed or they got to be admitted to each other. Though.

You're listening show well, during a podcast conversation with his girlfriend Danica Patrick. Green Bay Packers quarterback Aaron Rodgers question God during his conversation about religion. Now, Steve, you heard this podcast, you say, well, I mean, what are your feelings about this? I heard the podcast. I didn't have a problem with what he said. You know, they tried to make it look like he was a st range from his family, and his family, being ultra Christian, was super offended by him. He just said, growing up, he met his first Christian that he could identify with. He said, this guy cussed, you know, he told him the facts of life, and he just thought he was a cool dude because he had been around so many people faking like they was perfect. I mean, he was saying stuff like that, and he'd been around so many fake people that had made him question it. The faith part of it. I understood where he coming from. I went through a phase like that. I didn't think what he said it was I didn't think what he said was that crazy. You know, they got offended because his family feel like he's alienated him since two thousand and sixteen or some year, you know, after the Super Bowl. Well, I know he's been beef with his brother. I do know that part. So maybe that's that's what they're talking about. But I know what I know. He's the only rich person in the family right then. Been there, hun Steve everything. Huh Yeah. Glimpses of it, don't play. You get glimpses of this, I know exactly what's wrong. Yeah, his family said they're dismayed about his comments because they're basically a slap in the face to the fundamentals of who they are. That's you know, let's just say that some of the best Christians I've met have been custom Christians. They really had I'm Mica custom, you know. I just I just read this article about Brad Pitt, who had been around Hollywood for a long time, saying that he was an atheist. And I don't know if you guys remember a couple of months ago he showed up at Kanye's church and he did an interview. Yeah, he did an interview recently, and he said that he grew up in a Christian home, but Christianity to him at the time was just a set of nose. He couldn't do this, he couldn't do that, he couldn't do this, and no one really explained, you know why that was. So he kind of turned a blind eye to Christianity. He said, Yeah, that's why he did it. He said he wasn't really an atheist, but he said that because he just wasn't into Christianity at the time. Now, you know, with the divorce and everything. He hit rock bottom. You know, he said he had everything and all these hit movies, all this money, all this stuff, and he hit rock bottom. And then that's sometimes when God starts speaking to you, and he is starting now to you know, rekindle his relationship that he had or trying to build a relationship with God and get back to his Christian roots. So it happens, you know, like you say, Steve, that's not so unusual. A lot of people question it because you have questions. And if people don't have answers, and they tell you, oh, just shut up. That's what's in the Bible. You don't question God, you know, things like that. People only want answers sometimes questions. Yea, when when did Jesus hang out with the perfect? Right? He hung out with Hood? Yeah? Yeah, but you know who see people kill me that you're gonna have this righteous walk with Christ your entire life, and you're not. You're not gonna stay on the white line. You can't. You fall off of the white line quite a bit, to be honest, quite a bit. Sometimes I fall off the line and I don't even get back on it. I just walked next to it for a few miles, you understand. And that's what when you see people like Brad Pitt, we're so quick to judge and Rogers and Brad Pitt, Hey man, they're trying to get it right, just like everybody else, trying to get it right. Because majority of people that I know that claim that they have it right, they don't really have it together at all. Exactly exactly, all backsliders. That's what they need. A church, Christian church, open it up like it's a club with a cust Well, all right, coming up next, nephew in the building with today's prank phone call?

Here it swery letter subject He's got the sugar, but he's not being sweet, all right, Jay, listen up. Dear Steve and Shirley, my husband and I are in our late thirties and we've been together for almost twenty years. We have four children, and we always had a robust sex life until two years ago when everything changed. My husband gradually lost interest in sex, and whenever we try, he would stop in the middle of it and tell me he was tired. I had no idea what was wrong with him, and I started to think that he wasn't attracted to me anymore. One night, when he told me no to sex, I started crying. He finally came clean and admitted that he was diagnosed with type two diabetes. And it affected his ability to perform. He didn't want to tell me because he knew I would make him eat healthier meals and stop drinking. I was mad as heck that he kept something like this from me. After I found out about it, he refused to change his bad life style choices. So now he has erectile dysfunction because of all the medicine. Because of all his medicine, I've been suffering in a sexless marriage for the past two years. I'm miserable without sex, and I told him he is being selfish. All he has to do is put down the fried chicken, sweet potato pie and the bourbon and coke and we might be able to have sex again. He is oblivious to my needs, and I'm growing more and more angry by the day. I have been a faithful woman for twenty years, but I can't go another month without releasing some of this sexual tension. I'm thinking about cheating, and I have someone in mind that is willing to help me out. I don't feel bad about it either. Before I do the unthinkable, how can I get my husband to fix his health and fix our sex life? Please help? Wow? A lot going on in this letter. I don't know, because you know, it's really hard to make grown people. You really can't make grown people do what they don't want to do, and in this situation, your husband don't want to do it. I mean, if he would just make better food choices, you know, he would be healthier and perhaps that would help. You're right, he is very selfish. I think you know this is a man who doesn't want to change. I mean, I'm sorry, he doesn't care about himself. He doesn't care about your four kids or you. If he did, he would try to at least eat better. That's the very least he could do and trying, you know, try to get healthy. A husband should never keep anything like this from their wife. This is very serious. You know, why didn't he tell you? Maybe he was embarrassed, or maybe he just I don't know, but it is selfish and he shouldn't have kept that from you because it's it's a health situation and it could get worse. You guys, are only in your late thirties. You're only in your late thirties, So what are you supposed to do now for sex for the rest of your life? You're only in your late thirties. People have sex up until there's seventies and eighties. Come on, you're just in your late thirties. I gotta say this though you and I know everyone knows cheating is wrong. We all know that. But I ask you, you know, what's a wife to do in a situation like this, under the circumstances when her husband with his selfish behavior. Yeah. I'm not condoning again. I'm not saying she should, but I'm just saying I understand where you're coming from. Your well, your husband with his selfish behavior. I just, you know, I just think that he's driving you and sending you right into the arms of another man. I just think that's what's happening because he won't change, and he really needs to do that right now, Steve, Wow, surely you almost see the unthinkable. Wow? You what's gonna startle me? Girl? You came up just short of see Hellee. That ain't my job, So here I go. Now. I'm glad. Shirley kept reiterating that you all are in your late thirties because I misready. I thought you was thirty and you had been together for almost twenty years. I was saying, damn s him, dude, since you was ten. Slatter hands another element to it. You look at y'all. Ain't in jail anyway. Oh, we've got four children. We've always had a robust sex life, and to two years ago. Everything changed. Now is the letter. My husband gradually lost interest in sex, and whenever we try, he would stop in the middle of it and tell me he was tied. Now, hold on one, say, ain't you supposed to be tied in the middle of it? Huh? Hello, yeah, I mean sometimes, but this is an unusual circumstance, Steve. You gotta admit me you're putting the work, but to stop though he stopped. No, No, that ain't I ain't got there yet he tied. What the hell he stopped? Because you're tired. You're supposed to be tied. It's called work, homie. You gotta get back at it. But he stopped and say he tied, and no idea what was wrong? And then you thought he wasn't attracted to you. Then one night when he told you naw to sex and you started crying. He can't clean and said he got typed you diabetes and affected his ability to perform. He won't tell me because he knew I was gonna make him eat healthy meals and stopped drinking all of dog. So if you eat healthy fields and stopped drinking, you could get rid of your diabetes. You like food and drinking that damn much that you kept from the information from the one person who can help you get healthy, and you refuse to do it even though it's affecting your sex life. How much do food mean to your fat ass? No? Really, you would prefer food and alcohol over sex. This is crazy, all right, Steve, hold on to that thought. Okay, we're gonna have part two of your response coming up at twenty three minutes after the hour's subject of today's strawberry letter, he's got the sugar, but he's not being sweet. We'll get back into it right after this. You're listening, all right, Steve, Come on, let's recap today's strawberry letter. He's got the sugar, but he's not being sweet. Tie it is. Dude, then messed around and got type two diabetes, didn't tell his wife, the one person that would help. And then the reason he didn't tell her because he knew she was gonna make him eat healthier meals and stop drinking. What that was your reason for not telling your wife. No, it wasn't. I didn't want to worry her, you know, I didn't want her to stop doing what she was doing. All my chunky ass wants to keep eating pie and drinking liquor. So now the lady was mad as heck that he kept this from him, and then after she found out, he refused to change his lifestyle choices. So now because of all the medicine he taking, he now has erectile dysfunction in his thirty She has been suffering in a sexless marriage for the past two years and I'm miserable two years tears, and I'm miserable without sex. And I told him he's being self. All he gotta do is put down the fried chicken sweet to take the pie and the bourbon and coke, and we might be able to have sex again. Somebody making some good ass chicken. That's all I care. You man that's got the good ass chicken. He must beat it Hess dummy for the pope ass chicken sandwich, because he care about this to it. He all in line, lady night, waiting on it. If you stop doing that, you can have sex again. He's oblivious to my needs, and I'm growing more and more angry by the day.

And the reason I'm saying you gotta go ahead and do it, and I and the lady said, I don't feel bad about it either, And you shit, because let me explain something to you that ain't no man nowhere gonna let you sit over there with whole sex for two years and don't go get it somewhere with whole something for your man for two years and think he's sitting over that Twitter in his thumb.

You come back and deal with it. Well, I'm just saying we have an expert on the show.

That's right, Ja coming up, and of course some closing remarks from the One and Only Steve Harvey at forty nine minutes after the hour, right after this. You're listening, all right, guys, here we are the last break of this. It is the last break of the day you and of the week, day of the last break of the week. Yes, it's been a good day, a good week too. It was because week. Yeah we had the MLK holiday on Monday. Yeah. Yeah. And now it's time. It is Love Fridays. And now it's time for the one and only to come in with some closing remarks. I have talked about this before, but when it comes to the relationship between African Americans and Africans, I think that it's something that I'm learning more and more about and it's something that we really do have to get in touch with and explore. I know, because of the cost and also because of information too many of us have never made Africa a part of the mission to go see and I want to kind of help change that because I do know and I realize that it is so far away and it is quite an even from Atlanta's seventeen hours to Johannesburg. You know, I understand that, and it is an expense. I understand that too, but I gotta tell you it is worth it. And I'm working really, really hard with some key people over here to create a more affordable way to get it done because I would want every single African American to set their foot on this continent. I think it's it's probably I listen. Let me put it to you this way. I've traveled a lot of places on this globe and I have had been fortunate enough and God has graced me and my life with my family to be able to see some amazing places, to have some amazing experiences. And I got to tell you something. Nothing that isn't a port. I've pulled into an airport, I've landed at a beach, I've walked on a scenery I've seen that has moved me the way walking on the continent of Africa has. It's it's spiritual. It's the only way I can put it. It's absolutely ritual. And I am talking to black people right now. It's really something you have to see. I think every human being should see Africa. But for black people. Oh my god, it's very different. I am trying really, really hard. I'm going to do it. I'm not just trying. I'm just saying it right now because I haven't put it together. But I'm working really hard with some tourism boards over here to put something together. Man, for you to come and see this place and see it in not just one spot, but on like a mini tour. You couldn't see this place in six months if you want it to. That's how vast its content it is. But I think for every African American, you have to come here. You have to visit the slave castles. You It's it's really sickening when you're there, but you will understand really how evil some people are and how great we must really be to have survived what was done to us. You know, when I left those slave castles, I left with two things. I left I was so angry the second one I went to, and I was devastated the first one I went to. But at the end of the day, what I realized was how incredible we must really be as a people to have survived what they did to us. It's alarming, man, what was done to us over a four hundred year period and we are still here. Are you kidding me? Are you kidding me? And then to see what this continent is. It's one of the richest continents on Earth. And I know that we've been kept for one another. Africans and African Americans have been kept away from each other because if we knew who each other really was, and if we exchanged information, talent, knowledge and experiences, have any idea how great we would be? And I think that there's an opportunity here to bridge that gap. I really do appreciate the year of the return by the country of Ghana. I appreciate the things that I'm hearing from the President of Botswanna. I appreciate all the things I'm hearing from the tourism board here in South Africa and Joe Burgh and man, I'm just telling you please look it up, google it, even if you don't wait on when I pull or something together. Find a way to get yourself on this continent. Find a way to wake up in the morning and walk outside and probably for the first time in your life, not be a minority everywhere you go. You can go nowhere over here and become the minority that place does not exist. That's an incredible feeling. That's something that I cannot I can't even explain how that feels, you know why, because I've never known the feeling before. I had nothing, because I've been a minority my whole life. This is an amazing place, man, And whatever you think it is, it's it's it's so much more. Uh. That's my mission while I'm here to bridge the gap and get more people to come over here and see this. Yeah, it's the deal, man, the deal. Yeah, well you know what's happening now, don't you have yourself a great weekend? Here for show.
