Y'all know what time of y'all don't know, y'all back a suit on the back down giving them more like the million bucks things and its cubs. Y'all good it, Steve, listen to movie together for stum. Please don't join join me in doing me. Honey. You gotta turn, you gotta turn, turn, turn, got the turnout, then turn the water the water. Come come on your back that I sure will come morning. Everybody you're listening to the voice, come on dig me now one it only Steve Harvey got a radio show. Yeoh, man, boy, God has been good to me. Man, I can't really count at all. You can't either, you know. It's all in perspective. You really can't count all that God has done for you if you look at every little thing. It's unbelievable the things He's done for us. How many times you know, we got through something without even talking to him about it. He just he just blessed us with it. How many you know? It's just it's so much that the fact that you wake up in the morning, the fact that you still have a place to stay, the fact that you know may be struggling out here, but guess what you still going to work. You you know, you live in check the check, but but you're making it all. You got all the plates spinning. You know, it's hard. You got a lot of plates spinning, but you keep him up there somewhere. Every now I near one break, but he put two more back up there to look a little bit better. And you got to get to spending them so it all works. And then you got a lot of people who just can't seem to mentally put it together as to you know, why their life isn't in a position that they wanted to be. We talked about this oftentimes, but I want to try another angle with you to day. You know, maybe it's you. Have you ever thought about that? Maybe it's you. Maybe it's no external force that's at fault, like you keep making the excuse to be You know, so many people I hear, well, if this hadn't have done this, if he hadn't have done that, if she hadn't have done that, I would have been further along. I wasted all my time, my years with this man, and he did this, and I could have been here, and I could have been there, and this woman she did this to me. If she hadn't have done that, I could have been here, and I could have been there. Maybe it's you. Maybe it's not really that external force that you keep making it out to be. See, I've done this to myself before. Once again, I'm talking to you about something I know about. I've done this to myself before. I've had the reason I wasn't where I wanted to be. I had it figured out as some external force. I had worked it out in my mind. Clearly it wasn't me, because if so and so, or if this hadn't happened, and if they hadn't have done this, I would have been further along up the road. That's what I was saying. But WOLDO hold on it or learned a valuable lesson? Man, See, if you don't ever let it go, it's gonna be hard for you to go. If you don't ever let it go, it's gonna be hard for you to go. I was listening to Bishop td Jake's one day, and I heard him say, you can't drive your car if you're gonna keep looking in the rearview mirror. You go outside and try that. Try to drive your car, but keep your eye in the rearview mirror. All you looking at is where you're being. All you looking at in that rearview mirrors where you're passed or should have passed, something you should have moved on from. All you're doing is looking in that rearview mirror at what happened back there. If you don't stop looking in the rearview mirror, you're gonna crash your car over and over and over again. All you got to slow it down so bad in order for you to keep looking in that rearview mirror. If you don't learn to let it go, it's gonna be hard for you to go forward because you keep reviewing the past. The past is the past, and I know it's hard. Man. I watched a show and this lady said, well, I just can't ever forgive them for that, or guess what. Guess what God may have already forgiven that person. That person may be extremely remorseful, could have gone to God and God and forgiveness for it years ago. But you you sit here and you keep hanging on to the back. I can't ever forgive that. Then I heard Bishop Jakes come on the show one time and say something that really really struck on you keep drinking the poison, waiting on your enemy to die. He said that. I just shook my head and went, wow, you drinking the poison waiting on your enemy to die. Revenge is poor to you. You know, if hatred is poising to you unforgivingness, when you won't forgive a person, that person could be going on with their life, made the right with God. Don't know how you're feeling. They're skipping through life. Now. You make adjustments every time you see them, and it takes energy. Man, it takes so much energy to hate. It takes so much energy not to forgive too. Now they come in the room. You got to avoid them. Stay over here, Oh here they come. Now you got to make a situation over here. They come into the house. It's family reunion. Oh here they come. And where they're gonna be in the basement. I'm going up on the third floor. I want to go ahead and get some barbecue. She out there at the barbecue, staying, Oh lord, I don't want a barbecue. I just eat to take the salade. People. Man take themselves all out of position, trying to make adjustments, when if you it would simplify your life, if you would let just let it go. Maybe you ain't where you need to be because of them external forces altogether. Maybe you're not where you need to be cause of you. Because you won't let it go, you won't move forward. Look at this, ladies. Let's say you've been in a situation with a man for years. It didn't work out for whatever the reason, it just didn't work out. I got, I got what you said he did. I got what he did, I got all of that. YadA YadA YadA. When you get through, did not God get you through it? Did not he allow you to survive it? I got you, got some cuts on you, I got you been a little bit bruised. But did he not get you through it? So, now that he's freed you from it, now he didn't went on. He got a whole other family over that somewhere. He now he trying to make it right because maybe he learned the mistake he made and now he trying to be a better man. He just trying to get it right now. But you're sitting there holding onto it. You're drinking the poison, waiting on your enemy to die. So now instead of you enjoying the blessing of finally being free from a situation that was not healthy for you. You create an even more unhealthy situation in your mind by hating, by having revengeful thoughts, by hoping he fall on his face. Maybe you're even doing something to the other situation to make sure they struggle. Oh man, you're drinking the poison, waiting on your enemy to die. Maybe you ain't where you ought to be in life, not because of your external forces, but maybe it's you. If you don't let it go, it's gonna be hard for you to go. You can't keep driving your car looking in the rear view mirror. Come on, man, Forgiveness is not for the other person. Forgiveness is for you. But shop Jake's got a book out man, and called let It Go. I'm telling you read this book. It'll help yourself. It's not just for people who who are angry. This is for people, man, who don't even know the little things you hold it on too. You don't even know the name of the book is let it Go? Man. I had to read it and go wow, Man, I had really had to check myself all that I know about this thing called life and trying to succeed. I still need refreshing courses and remind us every now and then. Maybe hold on, man, Maybe you've been sometimes man, it's just you holding on to a business practice too long. You know. I had to catch myself. You know, I said a thousand times, if you keep doing what you've been doing, you're gonna keep getting what you've been getting. Maybe you need to change your business practice. Maybe it's the way you've been doing a certain thing. You just got to let that go, because if you let it go, it frees you up to goal. It's hard to get to the next level with all that baggage. Steve Harvey Morning Show, yep, you're listening to show, ladies and gentlemen. I have your undivided attention.

There's about eighteen hundred dollars worth of merchandise missing from the store. Yeah, it's about eighteen hundred dollars worth of merchandise. And we definitely know that this is a in house situation. This is not someone walking in shoplifting. This is definitely an in house situation with employees who have evidently been shoplifting from the store, taking things. And we want to get down to the to the roots of the problem. Okay, well, ma'am, it's uh, it's been brought to my attention that there's a possibility that you may be part of this situation and a thief. I don't steal. You don't call my house accusing me.

Okay, just because she wears something that we sell in the store, don't mean that I stole it. Well, we don't see where she's act. I backed the footage up as far as I could. I don't see any footage of where she purchased this particular merchandise. And my assumption is maybe you gave it to her. I gave her and just because you don't see what somebody purchased. It don't mean that it's been stolen. Okay, here's what I'm gonna I'm gonna just get to the chase of this, Tanya. What I'm gonna have to do is this if I can't get you to come to the store. Man.

So this is what I was talking about earlier. Guys. With the Heisman Trophy winner Kyler Murray Junior got to celebrate Saturday night after being named college football's best player, but by Sunday morning, the party was over and he was suddenly apologizing for some deleted homophobic tweets he made when he was fifteen years old. Early Sunday morning, Murray truth tweeted, I apologize for the tweets that have come to light tonight from when I was fourteen and fifteen. I used a poor choice of words that doesn't reflect who I am or what I believe. I do not intend to single out any individual or group. I did not intend to do that. This is just another big reminder that when you put anything on social media, it sticks around for every guys, even even if you delete it. This happened when he was fourteen or fifteen. You know, to get on this kid about something he did at fourteen or fifteen. It's utterly ridiculous. Yes, it is utterly ridiculous. The kid wins the hisman, and here they come when he made some homophobic remarks when he was fourteen? Are you kidding me? Man? Everybody did something when didn't know what we did fourteen, fifteen, eighteen, twenty thirty. And listen, man, before this politically corrects uh being started. You can't go back and get this stuff I did. Yeah, it's ridiculous, man. You can't go back and keep beating somebody up. Now, he got apologize something he did when he was fourteen. A damn mine. You can't even lock him up for none of this. Yeah, get out of here. We gotta move On't time for the headlines, Steve Shelley, You don't move us a long? Yeah, that's my job. Was long? Oh boy, that is my job? And feel good right fifth day one? Yeah, since day one? Sir, let mis hand? What was that? Miss a hand? Move that snow along? And I will tell you about that right now. This is a trip with the news. Virginians and North Carolina Carolinians are trying to move the snow along. They're digging out from a massive snowstorm over the last two and a half days, which has left many parts, especially at the tar Heel state, under mounds of snow, ice, and slush. Thousands of people still out of power, the schools are closed. At least three storm related deaths are reported, and North Carolina Governor Roy Cooper says things could get worse. With cold temperatures today and freezing nights ahead. The snow and ice and the danger may not go away as quickly as they came. The governor says some places got wood would be a year's worth of the white stuff and a little more than a day. North Carolina is still under a state of emergency. President Trump is still looking for a new chief of staff now that Major John Kelly is leaving. Reports are that some rumored candidates don't seem to want the job. They keep taking their names out of contention, like oh no, that's okay. A new chief of staff would be Trump's third chief of staff in less than two years. In Ohio, FBI agents say they've taken two people into custody near Cleveland in a connection with two separate alleged terra plots. US attorney Justin Herdman says that one involves a man suspected of planning to shoot up two synagogues in the Toledo area. We do not have to and we will not wait for someone to shoot up innocent worshippers at a synagogue or did that nate a bomb? We will act to protect our nation and Herdman says a young woman is suspected of planning several bombings. Again though she said, they say that's there were two separate things. They weren't connected. The former chairman of Nissan, Carlos Going, has been indicted for alleged financial misconduct. Prosecutors say this guy Goings concealed tens of millions of dollars in compensation. Goings led Nissan, Renault and Mitsubishi at the same time. Once. Filming has stopped for now on next seasons episodes of the Stars cable series Power. Officials say that filming for The Populace Show sixth season was suspended yesterday after a member of the crew was accidentally killed. Production system pedro himandus was fatally struck by an SGUV as he was setting up parking cones at about thirty in the morning in advance of yesterday's schedule shoot in Brooklyn. He'd been with the power company since the beginning of the show back in twenty fourteen. No cast members were on set yet, so because they recalled for like seven am, and this was around four thirty. Police say the driver of the vehicle though that killed him and his was a fellow crew member. Some staff cuts going on at Verizon. The communications companies announced that some ten thousand, four hundred US managers have accepted buyout packages. And that's on top of the termination agreements accepted by more than forty four thousand Verizon workers earlier this year. This is all a Verizon officials say the Verizon wants to save enough money to invest in newer technology. Sad news, legendary voting rights activist rosenel Eaton has died at age ninety seven. Rosenel Eaton led the lawsuit that successfully challenged the new voting restrictions passed by North Carolina's republic Control legislature in twenty thirteen and finally looks like a lot of people like Bacon. Ohio State University's installed a bacon ending machine. They say it's so popular has to be restocked four or five times a day. It offers cook bacon strips and bacon Bifolia dollar Wendy bring it up to us. Now back to Steve Harvey Morning Show. You're listening to Steve Harvey Morning Show. So Gods. Yesterday, President Barack Obama urged everyone to check out healthcare dot com that was dot gov before December fifteenth deadline. Okay, this is in hopes of pushing more people to sign up for Obamacare. President Obama posted a video of himself to a social media account to remind people to get coverage. It was a playful message. It was aimed mostly at young people, especially young people. Take a listen to this. Young people have stepped up like never before on campuses, at the voting booth, and at the doors of power. And frankly, I think you've proven that you don't need to see me taking jump shots or sitting between a couple of forest plants in order to know it's important to have health insurance in case God forbid, you get really sick or hurt yourself next year. So this year I'm giving it to you straight. Sign up for health insurance at healthcare dot gov before the deadline on December fifteenth, you can do it right now, and most folks can bind coverage for fifty dollars to one hundred dollars per month. That's probably less than your cell phone bill. One more time. If you need health insurance for twenty nineteen, sign up for it right now at healthcare dot com. And that's how it's done. What did Trump say about that? Nothing? Yet, He's got other issues. I've got a little Russian probe that he's occupied with right now, say next, yeah, yeah, yeah, you make it, I will use right now.

We could be reading your letter on the air, just like we're gonna read this one right now. Right nephew, there's right, Let's buckle up and hold on tight. We got it for you. Here it is Strawberry letters, subject, I wish my boyfriend was bigger. Dear Stephen Shirley. I am in my mid thirties and I'm five one and I one hundred and twenty eight pounds. I am dating a personal trainer and he weighs one hundred and seventy pounds. He used to weigh three hundred and fifty pounds, and he worked hard to lose the weight and keep it off. He is looking so good these days, but we have a big problem. Our eating habits are totally different now. I'm a country girl, so my meals are pretty hefty and full of flavor. They aren't bad nutritionally, but they definitely are not the healthiest option. My boyfriend eats cheese, crackers, mixed nuts, salads, and smoothies while he's at the gym working, and I have a full dinner for him when he gets home. I love to cook, so the other day I baked chicken, made mac and cheese, yam, sauteed spinach, and dinner rolls. My boyfriend walked in and got mad as soon as he saw what I cooked. This is how I've always cooked, and it's used what he's used to eating, what he used to enjoy eating. We've been arguing over food a lot recently, and most nights we eat in silence because he's mad at me. Mind you, he does eat everything I cook, including the bread. I do add healthy options, such as baking the chicken instead of frying it, and I include leafy green vegetables more. I know he's scared of gaining his weight back, but he needs to work on his willpower. I try to eat the way he eats, and I literally passed out at the gym. I got lighthearted and blacked out. Lightheaded, I mean lightheaded and blacked out. Stephen Shirley, how can we resolve our food issues? I want my man to be happy and healthy, but I was happier when he was fat. Well, he's not happy when he's fat. He's not happier. And this is the problem. Your man has a food issue and you're not helping with all that good food and good smelling food around the house that you cook. So let me ask you. I want to say that I'm scared to answer this letter. I just want to put that out there out there I'm just gonna say, in the sake of comedy, I'm doing my answer in the vein of comedy. Okay, feel what you want to feel and get to tweets. Okay, yeah, I mean, so you know you're not helping him with all the good food. It's smelling good, it's tasting good. So let me ask you this. If he were a covering drug addict, would you have crack and weed lying around the house. If he were an alcoholic, would you have liquor and beer and wine all piled up in the fridge. If he was hooked on opioids, okay, would you have percocet and oxycodon in the medicine cabinet? All right, you got to think about this stuff. So don't just say he needs to work on his willpower when you put it right in front of his face and under his nose. You know, you gotta help a brother out here. He's not trying to go back to three hundred and fifty pounds. He's got his weight down to a nice one hundred and seventy. You said he looks so good, So maybe you can cook, you know, a heavy meal like you cook on the weekends. You know, give him a cheat day, keep it light and healthy during the week, Okay, and then maybe you what, guys, won't be mad at the dinner table. Maybe you'll you know, have some conversation instead of you know, eating in silence. That's all he needs, some encouragement, some support. Steve, that ain't what this let about. I'm gonna just gonna get to it. First of all, the letter opens with a lie. These measurements is wrong. I'm in my mid thirties, I'm five one. Yeah, who you know? Five one monica? She just added the one. She either five flat or hard for eleven and I weigh a hundred and twenty eight pounds. That's another lie. No woman gives her exactly quait. No woman. So so you're saying she weighs more than yeah, she's about five one one. She over there looking like a little flow model TV. I'm just gonna tell you, and ain't nothing wrong with it. I'm just giving you some facts. Now, big boy weigh one hundred and seventy pounds, but he used to weigh three fifty. Yeah, he worked hard, loser weight. That here's a problem. They eating habits is totally different. Here we go, I'm a country girl. So my meals are pretty hefty and full of flavor. They aren't bad nutritionally. What you just said, your meals is pretty hefty and full of flavor. They aren't bad nutritionally. That's they all got a et full of fat food. And you want to talk about you ain't bad nutritionly, Yes it is. You know what you cookie? Yeah, it's a big country girl. And you said it's little. This woman ain't little shit. You hear what she over the eating, She baking the chicken, She got mac and cheese, and she got dinner rolls. And once you eat mac and cheese and dinner rolls, I don't give a damn what else you got on your plate. It wins. That's a meal in it. They aren't bad nutritiony, but they definitely are not the healthiest option. My boyfriend eas cheese, crackers, mixed nuts, salads, and smooth it's while he at the gym working, and I got a full dinner for him when he get home. I love a cook, So the other day I baked chicken, made mac and cheese, yams, you know what I mean, sugar on him, yam, making salt spinish and dinner roll My boyfriend walked in and got mad as soon as he saw with our cook. This is how I've always cooked. It's what he used to enjoy eating when we were Now we've been arguing him over food a lot recently, and most nights weed in silence because he's mad at me. Mind you, he does eat everything out cook, including the bread. I do add healthy options, such as baking the chicken instead of frying it, and I include leafy green vegetables more. Now he's scared of gaining his I know he's scared of gaining his weight back, but he needs to work on his wheel pipe. I tried to eat the way he eats, and I literally passed out at the gym. Know what I was doing, had my little white ass on that tread meal, trying to warm without to eat dinner roles in me. You ever tried to walk on the treadmill without your dinner role? Here? You gonna little way without no macache? All right, hold on, hold on, hold on. We got to Steve's response coming up at twenty three after the hour, subject I wish my boyfriend was bigger. Right after this, you're listening, well, you know we're back, everybody and Um, you know, here's this woman who's in the mid thirty she's five one and hundred twenty eight pounds. I think that's be kind of cute, you know, five one hundred twenty eight pounds. I think it's cute. I like TV. I'm dating a personal training He weighed a hundred and seventy pounds. Well, you know, why don't you stop dating that? It might happen just that way, Steve. You know, why don't you find your little shout? What's found? A little show man? Like like eaton? I mean, why can't they compromise? Though? White? No? No, she want the man to be three fifty, he don't want to be three He doesn't. Yeah, and he mad at you because he don't really want you to be you know where it looked like you hid it too. She keep cooking though, Yeah, she cooking a cheat day, you know, and just try to do it help what you know? Come on, now, they got a compromise jams. Yeah, yeah, but when you lose waiting somebody to jams and macaroni and cheese and they really don't kill me. Yeah, that's exactly exactly. In fact, you over there, little love seat, he's getting no support from her, she said, Instead of frying, she baked the chicken. Yeah, but you got the yams and the mac and cheese. And this is just a okay, well, let me just not say love seat and just make it smaller than like a lazy boy. That's a little recline made out of her lord. You think that it's better little play.

Well, I got my top on the seal when I get Yeah, if they give you bottles of water with the seal on there, but if they're just pouring them out of the bottle, you don't know that. Yeah. Well, anyway, this recent study, as I was saying, by the New York Food Policy Center, found that the water tanks on the planes aren't cleaned often and they are topped off with new water after every flight. So the water at the bottom of the tank isn't very clean and it has been sitting there for a while. Oh and a study from the EPA found that twelve percent of commercial planes tested positive for fecal bacteria in the water supply. Uh yeah, yeah, yeah, that's the same. Yeah, yes it is. That's the same water you wash your hands within the laboratory, and the same water they used to make coffee and tea on the plane. That's that's planes. That attitude of that fight attended to. Yeah, that's that's thank you. Well that fix it up. You can't do nothing now, can't drink coffee, can't drink you can't fly. Man. I was on the plane one time. They had a baby on the plane. This lady said her child was allergic to peanuts. Now this after we own and they passing out, you know food. The lady said, nobody in first class can have hot nuts because if he smelled the peanuts. I said, why is his ass on the plane? Because I gets on the front of him hot nuts. Yea, And now you got your little sick ass back there. He can't staying the smell and nuts. Well, you don't need to fly when you gotta train, y'all cut the tooth. Why don't y'all drive? I don't like that, man. Man, we had the one time, and this is a true story, kid, you not we pulled out, we're going to the runway. We had turned the plane around and take off all the peanuts on the plane. Wow. But the lady just said it on the way out when we use taxing. But I was so mad. Man. Yeah, that's the second madness I've ever been on the plane. Mm hmm, ain't knowing you can do back? Wow, Steve, Well, just a reminder, you know, when a lot of people will be fly. That was the second madness I've ever been on the plane. Second, man, But what was the first half? What happened? What happened? Or you're gonna play stupid Shirley. Oh that's what you're gonna do, ste if you do. I had anxiety issue, you know, when we were taxing and the ladies said we have to go back and take all the peanuts off to play. I was so mad. That was the second that the first madness I've ever been. Hey, before you tell the story, I love you. I just want to say that the plane were back all the way out, we take off, we going towards the runway. All of a sudden, we put the brakes, were back up. We back up at the gate. Don't nobody say nothing. Then the flight attendant said, I'm sorry, but we have to remove someone from the plane. I'm sitting there, Shirley coo walker pad So sure, situation for white folk, see you up on this place. They didn't ball Shirley back because she didn't have the anxiety attack. She can't fly. This is true. This is the truth. Yeah, that actually happened. That brought her back, and I just can't do this. So now three hundred damn people can't go where we going because she didn't got that crazy ass on the plane to decide if she can't do it about the ticket. This we were going to New York. Remember to be on the montell Williams talk. Hey got he got in the damn plane, fastened her seat belt. It's taxi. She snapped her seat belt and called best precedent. But then they all, I has to back plane. What baby, it's on the damn I was hyper ventilating. The lady ran back down. Here comes Sirley with all her bag and I lookt too walking past me. I said, Sherley, sit down for the white folks seat. I got to get off this. Everybody said, this bug you I know. I couldn't. Nah, you know it is after nine elevens. So now we got to wait on her to get her bag off the damn play. So they got to go in the underbelly to get her because they can't let her kill us. And she ain't on a prank. But I was so dead and they got to look forward, yeah, and everything was fine. I ended up coming the next day. Oh, I wouldn't have been waiting more. The next day, Well, you couldn't go to day before. I couldn't. I had to make myself. I had to talk myself into it. I had to make myself. You know, you have to. You have to face your fears drunk and I had a panic attack. I was hyperventilating. Well, you know it bothers me sometimes, butly don't get drunk. But I'm much better at it now. I don't know what's happening to it. But you can't be rounding not with one. She don't get drunk, but she drank one glance away. Oh man, she ain't drunk with something wrong. I believe your bodies telling me before whatever, Steve, you've never seen that. I said to time to foot and treatments every time. See a lot of people have panic attacks on the plane. Okay, we'll get off the plane here. You have to face your fears out of Africa as a as a show. You really can't go with it. Oh you need to be on another flag. Yeah, or you know. That's why I was asking you yesterday how do you handle the long flights? And you said yesterday you remember that that's your favorite thing to do. That's your that's your favorite thing to do. Timmy, what would you do if you on the plane and then started lightning, Pull that shade down, get up on that seat. A shade all right, coming up in twenty minutes, Thanks a lot. I left the shade down and just be flicking my light on it all. We'll have more of the Sea vrby morning show right after this. You're listening, all right, Jay, this story is kind of for you right here. Our good friend Kevin Hart has been in the news lately. We know why for stepping down from the oscars, But this time I think he really dodged a bullet here. One of the venues on his comedy tour is being sued by a diabetic woman who claims she got kicked out of Kevin Hart's comedy show because she used her cell phone to check her blood sugar before the show began. The incident happened last July in San Diego when the lady used cell phone app that I'm sure you're aware of this jay that monitors her blood sugar levels. The venue had signs posted no, but it's a device that goes on your arm and then you see it on your phone. She's not telling the truths you have the other part. I've never seen anything where you just touched the phone and it checks your blood. They may have it, I haven't seen it. Ye what I've seen is it? You put it on your arm. You can see the must have had that. Well, I'll see it is how you are diabetic. I think we have to lean go with what you say, Ye go with me this time. Well this lady was one two. Well, but she didn't she's not here. Okay, let's see you got hold up. You gonna go. You're gonna go with a diabetic that's not here. That's why a comedian diabetic all day. But I know how sick you can get. And all you do is poor orange juice and keep it moving, that's all. I don't even do that for Jake. What do you do for Jake? I walk off and leave anyway. The venue had signs posted prohibiting the use of cell phones, but she said it was a medical necessity. She was still ejected. They still removed her from the venue. She never got a refund, so she's suing Live Nation, which operates the venue. Again. Kevin Kevin Hart is not named in this lawsuit. Okay, but it happened, you know, But just get up leaving. They'll let you back in. I mean she making him big dealing, you making an all check that photographs. Yeah, well you're you. You can be quiet non diabetic. He know a lot about blood raising because he's short. What did you say? He know a lot about how blood because he showed Trump didn't get high blood real quick, like if he stepped down off a curve. Now blood bod because he showed us the loan drop for him. It's a curve to you, but it's a loan drop for him. Thinking of that, Steve, I'm really mad at you for telling story. We've gone No, no, no, we've gone all year, not one time. If we had a little Tommy story, not one what we practically beg you for them. It's him that doesn't want them. Oh, Shirley, things have changed now we're in a different place. Okay, man, No they haven't, and no we're not. Things have changed. Shirley was gonna have the same question, thank you? Why are you tallert? What? What? Y t? He's taller and statue taller than what? Jay in life's taller than what? Who? Who ain't he over here? So what he's taller than what?

All right, coming up our last break of the day and some closing remarks from our fearless leader, the one and only Steve Harvey. Right after this. You're listening all right? Here we are, Steve. Last break of the day. It's been a good day. A lot of stuff going on in the world Jesus, but we need a break from all of this. Yeah, that's why we love having you, Steve, so you can give us some closing remarks the world today. Oftentimes my best closing remarks are remarks that are reflective of something that I'm going through, have been through, or experienced. And so today is going to be in that vein. I want to talk to you all today about faith. Faith. The purest definition of faith to me, this is to me, now, I don't know how other people view faith. I'm just talking about the purest definition of faith to me is simply this, faith is the belief in things that you cannot see. That's what faith really means to me. Faith is to belief in things that you cannot see. That categorizes faith for me, That exemplifies faith for me, That expresses faith for me that somehow, over the years, I have managed to understand that faith is in the belief in things that you cannot see. So when situations beset me, when circumstances run up into me, when I find myself in something that I have no control over that circumstances, just set thyself right in front of my door, and then all of a sudden, I get the phone calls, hey man, you all right, Hey man, hang in now. Man so sad to hear the news. You know, I had a slew it that this week because of some article that came out about the show friends from Cleveland, and I appreciate it all. But I'm gonna tell you something that I'm drawing on. I'm drawing on this thing called faith. I'm drawing on some words that my mother told me when she was young. When I was young, my mama was a Sunday school teacher for forty years. She always taught me that I don't believe God brought me this far to leave me. There is no way that God got me to this place to leave me. See where faith comes in. I firmly believe that when one door closes, God has another one to open up. See. I never stand in the doorway that's closing in my face and keep knocking on that door. Y'all need to open this door back up. I'm not gonna stand there and try to force my way back in the door. I'm gonna take care of my business. Of course, faith without works is dead. But I do not get crippled and crumbled. The predictions are the thoughts of somebody else. Somebody come to me and tell me what they're gonna do to me. How many times have you had somebody come to you and tell you what they was gonna do to you? How many times have you had a boss confront you and tell you what they was gonna do to you? And they say it with the full intent of shaking you up? And sometimes it work, don't it. You go home and you shake it. Let me offer you something, stop shaking. Don't worry, don't be dismayed. There's no way God brought you this far to leave. See the people's talking about taking stuff from you, They didn't give it to you in the first place. What they don't know that your steps was ordered by God. What they don't know that God positioned you right where he wanted you to be at a particular time. They had no choice that to put you in the position because God had ordered his soul. So when they come along and they start talking about taking you out of position, what you're worried about that fault? You don't think. You don't think that you have an option here. You don't think that the God you served that put you where he wanted you to be placed. You don't think he see all of this. I do. I think he sees me. I think he places me right where he wanted me to be placed. I think he has people saying things about me so I can hear it. I think he's allowing people to think that they're making decisions because they want to. I believe that they don't know that God is always working on my behalf behind the scenes always. Why Because I believe and I trusted him, That's why he always working on my behalf. That is No, I'm not an evil person. I'm not an unrighteous person. I'm really a good person. I'm flawed, but I'm a good person. I don't set out to hurt nobody. I ain't trying to step on nobody. So when somebody bring me some disparaging news about what they're gonna do to me, in the words of Bishop T. D. Jakes, you got to be careful how you handle me. Be very careful how you handle me. Because I happen to be a child of the Most High. What He's done for me in the past, he can continue to do for me in the future. I have no fear of what you claiming that you will do to me, because God didn't bring me this far to leave me. That I'm certain of. Faith is the belief in things that you cannot see. And even though I can't see what he's doing right now, I bet he's doing something. I'm excited about the future of what God got for me. Those are my clothing.
