Today's show is pre recorded. Y'all know what time y'all don't know y'all have a sun giving them like the million bucks things in the stubbings me good it Steve listening to mother for st Please I don't join join me. You gotta use turning you go, you gotta turn to turn out, turn you haven't got to turn them out? Then turn the water the water got come come on your bad uh huh? I show well a good mind that everybody you're listening to the voice, come on, dig me now one it only Steve Harley got a radio show, this one today. I want to share with you. It's for all of us. And here it is. There is a solution to all of your problems in situations. If you don't know what your next move is, that to go, I don't I don't care what it is. If if the relationship you're in it's all wrong and you don't know how to get out of it, it doesn't matter. There's a solution to all your problems in situations. That solution to all your problems, that way to make all your dreams come true, the way around a lot of this and to the weakness that you feel at times it's prayer, prayer, a connection with your creator. Could that be the thing that's missing in your life. I'm just asking because whenever I get a little bit off track, all I gotta do is think, just a moment, Steve, have you been have you been praying? Man? Have you been connecting with your creator? I know you're busy, man, I know you're busy, and I know at the end of the day you're done. You're done, and sometimes crawling into bed is all you can manage to do. I've said this, it happened to me last night. Again. I did all of this. But when I look and when I see things not moving, or I don't feel like things are going in the right direction, or I have a sense of being stagnant, all I got to do is retrace it. Because as I'm working, it's no doubt about that. I'm working, but I'm I staying connected. Am I using that weapon that's available to all of us? And I pray? And the answer is usually no? And so I know, okay, okay, man, I'm getting off track hill because see, let me tell you something, man. The reason the reason I constantly talk to God is because life constantly changes people who said they was going to do something for you one day have changed their mind the next Somebody you thought was gonna show up that day called in late, had an accident and couldn't make it. That changes the parameters of everything. The meeting you had set up that had to be canceled because somebody was ill, that changes the parameters the time frame of everything, because it's all connected. So if I don't stay in constant prayer and stay connected to the creative when these things happen, I'm not put in my bed, I've not talked to him about how to handle it, or I'm just not aware of it and what to do next. And the next thing you know, it becomes a little stagnant. That has happened to me. I gotta get back because prayer is the solution to all of my problems and situations. I have found that to be the case now. The only reason I'm telling it to you is because I know if you anything like me, slash human being, then there are times that you feel anxious. There's moments of desperation. You have moments of uncertainty that are times when you feel like you've lost your way or your purpose is a little blurred. You're not shoe anymore, or you don't know what your next move is, or the relationship you in or the relationships you're dabbling in. They're just all wrong for you. Man, there is a solution to all your problems and situations, and its prayer. If you're suffering from any of the things I just listed, or any other thing you could think of, just check your prayer. What has your prayer been lately? About it? And this is for everybody. I often find when I get that disconnection, Man, my prayer and slipped off, I started feeling a little bit less, so I gotta jump back on it. I'm just offering you a solution to it, man, and and and and and I'm giving you a solution that works one of a thousand percent. Fust shout see, I ain't guessing at this one. I'm telling you what has happened in my life, how I did it, and it'll do for you. God has filled with mercy and grace. He knows we all messed up. He knows all of us have done some jacked up things that don't nobody know about. He know all about our past. Man, he know all of that. But he is so full of grace and mercy, so full of fifty fifth chances. But you know the thing about your life though, and the thing I had to come to terms with, and the reason I don't let my out of the reason I don't let my past bury me, The reason I don't let my past define me is because my past I found out or just the ingredients needed for me to make this cake I'm eating now. My past is just my ingredients. See, you don't get rid of your pass. They they ain't gonna know where they are, the ingredients, but when you put them with something else, they look better, they taste better, it is better. All of our past are just the ingredients that have become the cake we eating now. Now, if you don't like the way your cake tastes, then you gotta stop putting some other ingredients in. Just because you started off and your cake was messed up, don't mean you can't straighten out the flavor your cake. You gotta put some different ingredients in there. So let's say your cake is trifling tasted, it's bitter. Your cake is bitter, Well, you got to dilute the bitterness. You gotta put some more goodness in there. So you gotta put some goodness ingredients to take away the taste of the bitterness. So you gotta put some different ingredients in there. You gotta start living your life a little more kindly, a little more thoughtful, a little more sharing, a little more caring. And then after a while, man, those new ingredients combined with that bitter it starts overshadowing the bitter taste because the bitter taste is further behind you. Now see something that happened to you twelve fifteen, thirty, twenty five, sixteen years ago. Ain't got to be the flavor that's in your mouth now less you let it be. It's still ingredients. Man, If you're sick, it away your cake taste and change your ingredients. Put something else in your cake mix so you can get a better taste. If you don't like the way your life taste. Pray. I've been here, my mama saying for years. Boy, prayer changes things, don't My mama, you said to me all the time, I said to my TV artist, is when they come see me on the talk show, before I walk off stage, I tell them these words, my mother said, I said. My mother used to always tell me this and it's bailed me out and it might do the same thing for you. I say, whatever I get in trouble, I hear her words. She says, son, don't forget to pray, don't be ashamed to pray, and don't be too proud to pray, because prayer, prayer changes things and you better believe something. It one hundred percent showed.

We guided for you here. It is the straw Berry letta subject she used to be my sugar baby. Dear Stephen Shirley, I'm a forty nine year old retired businessman. I had had a startup in the early two thousands that did very well, and I sold it in a multimillion dollar deal. I make the majority of my income now from my real estate investments. That's how I met my twenty seven year old fiance. She was renting one of my houses, and after three months of her living there, we had sex and I started taking care of her in every way. Here's why dot dot The sex is beyond amazing, and she's a classy young woman. By day, but at night she's like my personal sex slave and vice versa. She has me under her spell and I can't be next to her without touching her. I was ashamed at first of our age difference, but I got over it and started showing her off in our community. I proposed six months ago, and she has moved into my home and I bought her two puppies as a welcome gift. The only big downfall of this relationship is that she has her priorities mixed up. When she moved out of my rental home, I had to do a few repairs and replace the carpet because she tore everything up. She can step out of the house without a single hair out of place, but she's failing miserably at housekeeping. I've never been with a woman that leaves dirty underwear on the floor. She won't do the simplest of things like rents the tub out after her bath or wipe off the kitchen counter when she spills something. Our housekeeper now comes twice a week because my fiance and her puppies leave lots of big and little messes all over the house. Maybe this is an age thing, or she lacks home training. Is it possible to turn my sugar baby into a decent wife? Or am I making a big mistake because of great sex? Well, I gotta be a little messy right here and ask don't you guys always make mistakes because of great sex, don't you? I mean, you name it. It's been done all in the name of great sex, whether it's cheating or fighting, or lying or missing work or whatever the situation. When great sex is involved, you guys lose your minds. I mean, let's face it, you're whipped, so it's no real surprise as to why you proposed and moved her right on in your house. But you're right, it does sound like a lack of proper home training and you've followed her rotten sugar daddy. Well, you can speak to her about it, and I suggest you do it now before you, guys get married. You know, tell her about the messes she and her little doggies that you bought her leave around the house. I suggest you do it, like I said, before you get married, because if you continue to let it go, it's gonna get worse after she becomes your wife. You know, don't write us. Then she should at least be able to do the basics, you know, clean up a spill or don't leave dirty underwear around. But until then, I really hope you can afford to have your maid come and clean up behind her. Maybe she can come in, you know, more days. Now, you know, can you turn your sugar baby into a decent wife or I make or are you making a big mistake because of sex? You can might be able to turn her into a decent wife, but she's got to get the basics down. I mean, that's the least, the very least she could do is clean up after herself. Steve. I don't normally start at the bottom of a letter, but based on the comment that Shirley said, I'm gonna start at the bottom just for a brief moment, I'm gonna be a little messy hill. So I'm just gonna say it. Don't all me and make big mistakes cause gray sex. So damn, don't nobody give her Damn Sherley about what you talking about? So damn what we make big mistakes called the great trick? The hell that got to do with it? Now, let me go in and start to let her. It's forty nine year old man, retired business man at forty nine, sold a startup ded sold it for multimillion dollars deal making majority this money now from real estate. And that's how I met his twenty four seven year old fiance. She was written one of your houses, and after three months of living there, we had sex. And I started taking care of her in every way. And here is why, because sex is beyond amazing. And she's a classy young woman by day and at night she's my personal sex slave and vice versa. Well, dog, now let's just start right here. Well that's what you got. You got twenty seven year old personal sex lady and vice versa, and you her sex lady. You can't if you sit next to you can't help but touch her. I got okay, all right, so that's what you got. Then you said I was ashamed at first of my age difference, but I go over. I got over that started showing half and I proposed six months ago she'd moved into my home, and I bought her two puppies as a welcoming guilt. What dog, who do that? A old last messies? Do? You bought her two puppies as a welcoming gil I want your puppies fault. What the hell was the puppies fault? Where are you mad? She'd asked you for no damn dog? She won't free rent. She's sex slaven for rent. Body asked you for no damn dogs. That's just like we asked this country to treat us, just like they say in the Constitution, we need ask for June tea. Yeah, all right, listen, you just hold your thoughts right now. Damn puppets, get it together. We'll have part two of Steve's response coming up at twenty three minutes after be our subject she used to be my sugar baby. We'll get back into it right after this.

I'm gonna put fifty dollars on that, right, I'm gonna buy Yes, I am all right. Coming up, Thank you, guys, coming up at the top of the hour. Our voting rights this is very serious. Our voting rights are under attack. We're going to talk about this right after this. You're listening to the Stave Harvey Morning Show. What is going on? Here we go again? Now, did you guys see on social media the head of the Congressional Black Caucus, her name is Joyce Beatty. Well, Miss Beatty got into good trouble, as John Lewis would say, and she, along with other voting rights activists, were arrested by US Capitol police for participating in a voting rights protest in a march around the Senate Heart Office atrium as they asked the Senate to pass for the People Act and the John Lewis Voting Rights Act. Okay, that's all they were doing, just protesting. And here's the question, though, here's a question, where was that same energy to arrest protesters during the surrection on January sixth? Okay, because they came and got Yeah, they came and got these voting rights protesters right away immediately. Yeah, y'all looking for fail We all remember when the domestic terrorists destroyed federal property, they trampled people, they rushed doors. Officers were killed, people were killed. I mean, come on, and all they were doing with protesting voter suppression, but they got arrested immediately. I mean, it's the racism that this country is, and it's a blatant racism that this country exhibits, and they do it in your face, and they do it and they stand right there and tell you that's not what it is, when clearly we know exactly what it is. It's been going on for the longest. I'm not surprised by any of this. You know now that the Senators and Republicans are trying to whitewash the right head on January sixth, Yes, and if you look at the take, they were just patriotic Americans exhibiting. There was no threats. The man that's dead, the woman is dead, all this stuff right here. And so these racist people that this country has elected and put into office or hell bent and now they don't care because Donald Trump has empowered all of them to be who they are. I was watching the show last night on Netflix called Tyrants, and the whole thing on Netflix is how you could become a tyrant. And there's a playbook on how to become a tyrant. And they were talking about ed I mean, they were talking about Momar Kadaffi, they were talking about Hitler. Those were the three they were focusing on, and they were talking about how to become a tyrant. But if you listen to what they said, and I mean listen to it, that playbook is exactly what's being used today in the United States in America by Donald Trump. He did exactly. There's the first thing you have to do is create a movement. And then when you create a movement, you have to create a slogan, and then you have to find an enemy, and then you have to you have to put on a good face with your slogan and your cause and your enemy. The enemy became anybody that wasn't a Donald Trump. Fake it became CNN and fake news. It became the border, it became the Muslims. He banned Muslims. He went down there and throughout DOCTA. He went down there and wander the wall. He wanted down and now and then it was the athletes and so and every body that he created as an enemy was a minority. So he drommed up his racist supporters. And then he gave them a slogan, make America great Again. And so now they had a cause, they had an enemy, and they had a slogan. And that's how you become a tyrant. And they didn't say that on Netflix, but as I watched the method that MoMA, that ed I mean, and that Kitty used, they just used it in this country. They did the same thing. His name, Donald Trump. If he could be a tyrant, he would please understand yard And that's what we're dealing with him. Yeah, and they scared everything, all right, this blatant racism, man, Yeah, yes it is. Yeah, stay woke, Please stay woke. Steve Harvey, Nation We'll have more of the Steve Harvey Morning Show coming up at twenty minutes after the hour. Right after this, you're listening to the Steve Harvey Morning Show. Well, we got to say congratulations going out to Reverend Jesse Jackson. Reverend Jackson, Yes, yes, yes, Jesse Jes.

Philoh Tanya and Tyler, Texas says, my mom and my dad have decided they're in an open marriage, and it shocked me and my siblings. My mom is a retired teacher and my dad as a retired principle. I don't think my mom fully knows what an open marriage is. My dad is reaping all of the benefits, and I saw him with a woman in the car last week at Walgreens. My mom has always done whatever pleases my dad, and she doesn't like to rock the boat, as she always says. Should I tell her what an open marriage truly is? Or do I mind my business? Your mama ain't stupid. Your mamma know what an open marriage is. It's say open. We're in a marriage that's open. You ain't even got to be smart to know what that is. You know, all these years you've been in the closed off marriage. Now all of a sudden, it's open. So your mama know what that means. Now, if your mama's I mean look right, I mean look, then you can google that. Yeah, you can google open marriage. Now, you ain't got to wonder what it is. Stay out your way, you don't know what your mama doing though, we see because because women are way slicker. So if I was you, I just gonna stay out the way. What do you think her dad are doing it? Walgreen? What did they getting over there? What do you think getting out of walk? Anyway? Moving on? All right, coming up, it's Steve Harvey and his closing remarks. You don't want to miss it at forty nine after the hour you're listening to. All Right, guys, here we are our last break of the day. Right before Steve and his closing remarks, It's been a good day. Thanks again to Earthquake and congratulations again to Earthquake for a special with Dave Chappelle. That's so great. Yes, it is love for him, happy for him. I'm happy for him. Yep. You've been grinding a long time, man, a long time you man. He deserves it, very deserving. All right, Steve, Well are closing um today, I'm gonna stay on the subject of positivity. I'm gonna stay on the subject of spirituality. And as you know, I don't push my faith on anybody. I give everybody the right to believe whatever you want to believe. A great deal of my friends happened to be Muslims, and I say that warmheartedly. A great deal of my friends happen to be Muslims, and I respect their faith, man, I really really do. I didn't see I have seen it work for them. They also respect my faith because I'm a Christian. So we can talk, laugh, go to games, go to dinner, enjoy each other's company because we've we've come to respect one another. And that's all we need in this world is some respect. And so in terms of spirituality, I'm okay with the person being whatever they are. But whatever faith you belong to, if you jo who witness, if your Seventh Day of Venice, Catholic, Protestant, Jewish, Muslim, Christian, Buddhists, whatever you are, I'm fine with all of you. If that's what makes your world the best for you, I'm with it. It's not my job to judge. He didn't put me here to judge. God is the judge of all of us, not me. But I want to talk to all of you who are people of faith, and the subject that I'm talking to you about is don't let people talk you out of what God has for you. This is an important message, man, don't let people talk you out of what God has for you. Do you know how many times people have been talked out of some great ideas, some wonderful opportunities? Have you know how many times people have been talked out of their visions? You know how many times people have been talked out of their dreams? And do you realize out of all those people that have been talked out of stuff, that are still those who have made it happen when all others said it couldn't be done, because you know what, they refuse to let people talk to them out of what God had for them. See a lot of times, man, you have to understand what your ideas are. Why you keep dreaming of something over and over, why you keep having these visions about you doing this or becoming that. That's God talking to you. And I've said it a thousand times. Before God puts your future in your imagination, He shows it to you in your imagination. But see when you tell it to people and they start talking you out of it, you have to understand why they're talking you out of it. As soon as you tell your great idea or your vision or your dream to somebody and you start getting negative pushed back. As soon as you get it, do what I do say? Okay, all right, my bad. They don't see it. They don't see it, and they don't and they oftentimes don't mean you no harm. They just don't see it. But you know why they don't see it because God didn't show it to them. He showed it to you. He put your future into your imagination. He showed you these visions of dreams because they're visions of dreams of yours. He didn't show it to them. It's okay that they don't get it. It's okay that they don't see it. It's okay that they don't support you. But stop letting people talk you out of what God has for you. How they know? Who are they? Had I listened to my family, I wouldn't even be sitting here today. Had I listened to people closest to me. Do you let me tell you something? One dude I knew in Cleveland named Russell Middlebrooks told me, yeah, man, you got to go do this, Harve. And only remember my family told me to go forward. Was my father, my mother, and I loved my mother more than I loved anybody ever lived on this earth. She ain't see it. Told my mama didn't see it. My two brothers didn't see it, my sisters didn't see it. None of my friends saw it. When I was out there scratching. Man, they should come up to my mama's house and go. Have you heard from Steve, Miss Harvey? Now? Nah? You know he out there trying to make it. You know, Steve just lazy. He don't want to work. Nah, Man, I ain't lazy. I just don't want to work for nobody else. I saw something else for me. But they still my friends. They just didn't see it. They can still be your friends, y'all, but stop letting them talk you out of what God got for you. Your friends can still be your friends and not see what you're going after. You don't need everybody's support, And I got news for you. Everybody can't give you their support because how they're gonna support something they can't see or believe in. Faith is the belief in things that you cannot see. You asking them to have some faith in something they can't see. No, how half the people ain't got no faith in you, ain't got no faith in their self. How's somebody gonna see something for you, and they ain't never seen nothing for their self. Man, you better step away from these folks. I'm telling y'all one more time. Don't let people talk you out of what God has for you. God got a life for you, and he put that life in your imagination. Believe in it, work for it, and achieve it. God is in to make your dream come true. Business, and he's in the blessing business. Okay, Okay, those are my clothing remarks today. Hope you got something from it. And listen, y'all talk to God. He loves you, hear from you. Okay, that's for real. Okay. For all Steve Harvey contests, no purchase necessary void where prohibited.
