Y'all know what time to y'all don't know, y'all bag all too long, looking back to back down, giving them more, just like theming buck things. And it's touble y'all to ful good to the hearty guy listening to me. When you have to each other for sto bary, why don't you join yeah by joining me? Honey, Sat said, don't turn Yeah, you got you gotta turn't to turn turn love. It got to turn out to turn to turn the water the water go. Comey, come on your back. Uh huh, I show will good morning everybody you are listening to the voice? Come on dig me now to one and only Steve Harvey got a radio show? Yeah, man, I get I get so many emails almost daily. Why do you say every day you got a radio show? Some people still don't get it. Well, here it is. I'm not bragging. I'm really not. It's just my odd way of saying thanks to my Heaven and Father. It's my odd way of strange as it might seem to you, can't you understand? You know, everybody do it a different way. It's just a reminder to myself and to anybody that hears me that God is in the blessed business that God is in to get your life together business. And I say it every day because people need to know, because see what, what some people don't understand is just yesterday, something could have happened traumatic in somebody's life, a turning point could have occurred in somebody's life, and they could be sitting up there listening, trying to make a decision, and it could be the wrong decision if you don't remind yourself every day that God is in the blessing business that he's in, that he's in to get your life together business. If you're not talking to the right people when you have a mishap in your life, you'll suddenly start thinking the wrong way. Oh man, he don't he don't care about me no more art and blew. It is over now. Sometimes you need to hear the truth that, hey man, that there's gonna be some rain in your life. Sometimes sometimes it's just perchance of life. Sometimes it's a test. You never know what it is. Sometimes, Uh, you know you're gonna get your faith tested from time to time, is what I'm trying to say. Sometimes some things are gonna happen to see if you really mean what you say, do you really want your dreams to come true? Or when you give up as soon as something bad happen. So that's what happened to so many people along the way. They just they look at the test the wrong way. They keep thinking because this mishap has occurred, that is over, that is finique, that it's a finale in their life. It ain't ever that it ain't ever. That you got to go through some things. So when you finally get to your goal, you have a level of appreciation for it. Man. You know, when you've really earned something, you know you take care of it better. You know, Uh, there's a you know that this is not true in every case. But I was listening to a guy in his real estate class I was trying to take one time years ago, and he said that owners take better care of their property than do runners. Now, once again, I will say through life experience that that's not always the case. But what the man was trying to say in the point he was trying to make in this real estate class was it's when you pay for something, when you've earned it, when you've gone through the paperwork, and if you've ever brought a house, you know, man on man on man, they take you through it. They want to know everything about you. And right when you think you've answered all the questions and fulfill all the requirements before closing, there's always some more. There's always some mode you got to do. Everybody didn't bought a house and been through this. You know, well, we need to look at this. This didn't come out clean. I thought, we what does this be? All over here? You got to go pay that off, take care of that, get a letter from this creditor. Everybody is going through it. Right when you think you that, and when you think you've done all of it, when you get the closing, here comes some more. It's more money than they said. You're just sitting there going why. But when you get the house and you walk in it, and you known went through all of that, and you came up with the down payments, and you know, fulfill all the criments, and you've been saving for years and you've been dreaming about this house, and here it is. What the man was trying to say is you have a level of appreciation for and that's what happens in life. That's why you got to go through some things to accomplish your dreams. So when you fulfill those dreams with God's help, with with God's help, you have uh uh, you have an appreciation for it, meant something to it. You take care of it better. Like I said, don't mean that runners don't because I know some great runners out there who take care of property, like because they're just good people. They're just not in a position to own yet. I've seen that happen more times than not. But you go through things, so you have a level of appreciation. So why you are there going through stuff? Understand, it's just because you've got to come up through something. You got to have some dirt on you in order to grow. And a lot of people look at the dirt the wrong way. You're not buried. You planted when you got dirt on you. You're not buried. You planted. That's the thing. You know. Every everything you see beautiful, every tree, every bush, every plant, every flower, every mountain had dirt on it. They had to come up through some dirt to be what they are. You you you you can't eat nothing a vegetable of any kind or fruit of any kind that ain't come about the ground. But it's got to come through the earth, the dirt in order to be what they're gonna be. So when you're going through some stuff, just know you're gonna get some dirt on you. And everything changes. Everything changes, But the key to everything changes is you have to say so. In some of it. It's like old age. Everything must change. The young are going if you keep living the young or are going to become the old. It's inevitable the young become the old. But you have a choice. You don't have to be fifty and sit there and just let old age come set in you. On you. You're gonna get older. But do you have to look at though? Do you have to walk like it? You know if you exercise and hate right, do you know that you can change the way that is? You have to say so In some of it, man, everything changes, but you can do some things about it. Do what you can do today, Make a chance, have a relationship with God. Get your life on track. Man. God would love to hear from you today. It doesn't matter if he ain't heard from you in a while. That has absolutely nothing to do with it. God ain't like everybody else. He's a forgiving god. He's a God of chances. All you got to do is take will take one chance, Take a chance on God. That's all you got to do. He would give you many, many, many chances to come about. Your words painful, graveful, so grave wi you to raise you ah sho scape this time. I want you to help us cure it. Lift your hands and it's a it is things and I am wrateful that you have. Don't look at him and tell him, yes, I'm grateful victim and wanted tell him. I could go on and on. You could do the best you can. You could strive to be the absolute best you can. But when you make a mistake, and you are going to make the mistakes, it's okay. God has already put that into the equation. He already knows you're going to make them. That's why he's there for forgiveness, mercy and grace. It's available to everybody. All you got to do is want it. Okay. Cool. You're listening to Steve hard Morning Show. Ladies and gentlemen, boys and girls, people from all around the world. This is the Steve Harpe Morning Show.

No, it's not an illusion, and it's and it's put in. Golf designers put sand traps in very strategic places. They saying the average ball could go here, the average ball when hit would be here. And that's enough about that because Shirley doesn't care. So no, but let me say this, Steve though, I did see him over the weekend, just watching the news and clips, and he did look good. I knew he was coming back, and Tigre looked good. I hope he can. You know, it's not how you begin, it's how you finish. So I hope he can finish strong in life. The Stars The Stars was tweeting though, Yeah, yeah, did you say, I didn't say? I mean this, dude, right, here. If it wasn't for Tiger Woods, I don't even play golf. He did change again, and he changed the way the golf courses. He really did. All right, we'll be back with something funny at thirty two after the hour, we'll find out what happened over the weekend. You're listening to Steve Harvey Morning Show. All right, it is time for something funny. Uh, did you guys want to continue this crazy? Because I'm the hateful, mean all the time though every day, well it is kind of always you. I mean, we all we were all in agreement about Tiger. He looked good. We were happy he's back. And then he said, yes, Steve, he don't like his own gran. Oh, how can you be a grinch on everything? Christmas? I hate Christmas? What's so happy about the four I know, you know, we always send each other greetings on the holidays and stuff. So for Thanksgiving we all send each other Happy Thanksgiving. Blah blah blah. I send it to Jay, he said, I hate the holidays. That was his response. What thankful for Thanksgiving? Though? You know, the kindest holiday in the world. No one speaks to the lonely dad. That's my turn that's what I do. Speak to the hateful people don't hate Christmas. I got that group with small group, but we're effective. Okay, hey, man, can't tell you something I saw this weekend. I watched on se and Lisa len was in a little rock or in somewhere at all, so I think it's a little rock. They put the Ten Commandments up on a plaque. Well it's Satanic group wants this monument of their Satanic god put up there. Also what and so I mean, man, it was crazy, man, watching people who practice Satanism. Uh, it's really amazing how they got this. They worked out a lot of the people say they practiced Satanism because of what it stands for civil rights and you know, rights of people and you know, or right to a woman's right to abort or not. It was so amazing watching this. And so they got this one time statue made and they were having it delivered. But it was in Detroit, and so a lot of preachers came out to boycott, you know, with the churches, you know, and it was it was mostly black. Uh that was protesting up in Detroit because they don't want that in Detroit. So they came and they finally found the location, so they gave out a fake location because the boycotters came to boycott the location, so they gave out a fake location. So the Black ministers and stuff, we're at the wrong location where they actually sent it was another one. Then you had to check, I DA and get checked. And they hanged a cross upside down, you know. Man. They got the statue and they unveiled and people come dressed, some in Satanic guard most of them, and uh, it's pretty crazy, man, it is. You know, we should have our right to worship how we want to. We don't interfere with Christians. And don't you feel some kind of way even watching it? But I'm trying to I'm trying to think. So if they Church won't Satan do it, we won't Satan do it. I mean, you got to get them right to learning. Hell, that's the way I said, Satan stepped down. I mean, man, it was it was really alarming the way they choose to do as the first time I really looked at anything like that. It was just it was just people out there are looking for stuff. Like one woman was in it because her son was gay and he came out and he took his boyfriend to an event with some family members and they joked about him and laughed at him, and the next day he overdosed, you know, on drugs. So she blamed the family and Christianity, and so she became a Satanist because they are all into you know, open lifestyle, whether you're gay or not, which is you know, like, I think it's cool because you got to accept people the way they are. But that was her reasoning for joining Satanism. No good, you're a good concerning you'll be off this ship. We know you're a Christian. Will you bring me over here. You're gonna be off this ship. Let us catch you with some eyeline on with a cross upside there. You're gonna be off this ship. You're what nobody I was that bad? Okay, I'm not that bad. He was some black finger nail. You're bitter. You're not evil, You're just a bitter Christian, which really, which is in every church? Dude, that's something like a hospital playing little bit of Christian. You know what's crazy, you really? You know what alarms me is how many people do twist the Bible verses? Yes, they do. People take God's word and twisted. Not surely you're Pastor Kenneth Olmer. Yes, he taught me something that I really needed to know because you know how people come up to you know, you know, the Lord wanted me to share this with you. You know, I'm so glad I met you because the Lord just put this on my heart. Ever everybody help people come up to him like that, and then when they say it, you go or man, don't seem like God would have told me that. Here's what he taught me that cleared it up all from Bishop Bishop Omer. God's voice has no sin in it. I'm going down here and tell them off because the Lord told me to go tell them off. No, he didn't know, he didn't. He never told you to go down that big confrontation. He never told you to give some and so old piece of your mind. He never told you to cuss nobody out. He never told you to go down that jump on nobody. He never told you don't go down there and get somebody fired. He never told you to go report somebody. God's voice has no sin in it. Right that stuff you do on your own. I don't want a body walking up to me telling about you know, Satan put it on my heart to tell you something. Right, what is Satan's ignorant? He says, Yeah, I know what the worshipers, the people who worship. Yeah, now, don't do that. That's why you have to know it for yourself. That's why it's up to you to study and read and know the Word for yourself. So people can't come up to you and say things like that because you already know, because you're in the Word and you know. It was It was actually hard to watch because I actually felt sorry for the people I knew. I knew it would be hard to watch. Yeah, well, anyway, it is Monday, speaking of church, Reben Motown, Deacon death Jam, who will be in the building with church complaints right after this, you're listening to the Steve Morning Show. Coming up. At the top of the hour, miss Anne will be here. She's going to update us on today's national news.

The big tournament is this coming Saturday. He wants the bowl, but he don't have a thumb to get into the bowl. Well, that's all right, I've seen this before with other people, poll people.

So Loshes is something died in his mouth mode and normal, and a lot of us has been on the receiving You know that's lost. All right, listen, thank you guys. Coming up at the top of the hour, the Senate passes the tax bill. Plus Miss Anne will be here. You're listening to the Steve Harvey Morning Show. All right, Well, I'm sure you guys have heard by now. The US Senate voted just before to a m Eastern time on Saturday. I'm talking late in the midnight hour. Okay. They voted to pass the sweeping tax overhaul worth roughly one point four not million, not billion trillion with the t AA trillion one point for trillion dollars, putting the Trump White House a big step closer to its first major legislative victory, and it will be the first one for this year in his first year of the presidency. House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi, Democrat from California, of course, also responded, calling the legislation a betrayal of the American middle class. The bill is not yet finalized. Saturday's vote means the Senate and the House have passed similar tax reform plans now, but negotiators from both sides will meet today to agree on a single piece of legislation before it is sent to the president. Also, uh, if you guys recall, on this past Friday, as a part of Robert Mueller's investigation into connections between Russia and President Trump, former National security advisor Michael Flynn was officially charged with a single count of lying to the FBI. Yeah, Flynn pleaded guilty and has con firm that he is now cooperating with Mueller. There he's probably he's probably copy complete to not do to yeah, exactly, to serve up a certain amount of information. So, but we don't really know. Look y'all, can this is just my opinion, So don't you don't have to think this way? This stuff right here, when it comes to this government, we don't have any say. So we are just people watching foreign policy and this stuff with this investigation. We're just watching it go down. We can complain all we want, but at the end of the day, we're watching it go down because we don't even know what's really going on. And yeah, and if we don't like it when it comes time for voting, if you don't like what's going on, that's when you exactly right, you know, because it's it's like this tax plan. I don't even know what to think about it, because I know that we're being lied to on a few levels here, and it's the way they did it. They save everything undercover. There's one thing, to cut the taxes for the rich. And I can understand that if you're rich, you want to pay less taxes. Who wants to pay more taxes? But the cuts that they put in it in terms of Medicare and and school you know, subsidies and stuff like that, educated and Obamacare, to connect all of that with it is hurtful for poor people in the ordinary man. There we can do about it. That part I don't agree with. You know, Look, in order to make the tax cut be okay, they're taking from programs that people need to offset the money. Now do they have a valid point in that if you make corporate taxes easier on corporations with less of them leave the United States? I believe so. If you also put heavy taxes on companies who have left the United States to bring their goods back into the States to sell, would that cut that down? Yes, it would. So in order for these corporate corporations to stay here, they gotta get some type of tax and centives. That's why people go to certain States, and that's why rich people moved to Florida, get residents in Florida or Las Vegas. But don't sell it ism middle class Christmas, No, no, listen to me. The lie is no. They're telling the truth. But what they're not giving you is the definition of middle class. They've yes, that's true. We got to take it on over to miss Anne anyway, Steve, please introduce Lady Jennery here who might be able to give us a little bit more insight with real facts, not just opinion, as do I, ladies and gentlemen. Miss Anne Tripp, Thank you, Steve. Good morning everybody. This is a trip with the news. While President Trump continues to tweet about his former National security advisor Michael Flynn, who has now pled guilty line to the FBI about his contacts with the Russians, and now Trump is insisting that despite what former FBI Director James Comey said, that he never asked Comey to drop his agency's investigation of Flynn. Comey still differs with that and says that the president did. Trump also is claiming now that it was not his voice on that Access Hollywood tape talking about grabbing women's privates However, the man who lost his job behind that tape, Billy Bush, says there was no dubbing. It was Trump. Meanwhile, the Capitol Hill, House and Senate leaders now set the conference on a compromise tax over held bill to overhaul bill to eventually sent to the President for his signature. House and Senate bills are similar, but then down exactly the same, and they have to be exactly the same. The Senate passed its tax version as that you heard just a few minutes earlier. Early Saturday, sent GOP leader Mitch McConnell says on ABC's This Week with George Stephanopolis that he's feeling private, rather upbeat about the whole thing. We'll be able to get in the conference. I'm very optimistic about and we think those will make a big difference and getting our economy moving again and providing jobs and opportunity for the American people. Of course, critics differ. They say that giving the tax breaks to corporations doesn't necessarily mean they're going to invest it in the American people, because they haven't in the past. The boat went along party lines. Democrats complained that Republicans in the eleventh hour of debate pushed hundreds of pages of legislation through the next thing up. House and Senate leaders preparing to focus on government spending. A top of GOP. Legislative leaders say they're working on a plan to avert a government shutdown when a temporary spending bill expires at midnight this Friday, so they gotta get that going. Secretary State Rex Tillson is on his way to Europe today after a week in which his job was rumored to be on the line. Tilson schedule for stops in Belgium, Austria, and France for a five day trip where used to meet with NATO allies and spend a lot of time talking about security issues. President Trump but Tilson have been appeared out to be out of sync a lot of times, with the report that said Tilson referred to Trump as a moron, the rum when Mill had a that Trump was ready to replace him with CIA director Mike Pompeo, but hasn't happened yet anyway, And tops to the weekend box office the animated film Coco.

You're listening to the Steve Harvey Morning Show. Alright, the Strawberry Letter is up next. It is unbelievable. Of course you don't want to miss it. But first, have you guys heard about this? Steve? A list of White House work orders obtained by NBC Washington reveals that six hundred Pennsylvania Avenue is over run with vermin. That includes mice in the situation room and a mess hall ants in the White House Chief of Staff John Kelly's office, and at least four reported cockroach infesta infestations on the premises and and uh ants that's just in the Senate. But there's nothing new though, they're nothing new, So yeah, it's so they say. Rodents and insects have plagued the White House for decades, not just the White House. D C is different over Wow, this is according to the Huffington's post. Uh. They noted that former president way back in the day. Uh. Former President Jimmy Carter complained about a mouse problem back in the seventies when he wrote wrote in his diary, this is crazy, especially when you got digit Terry's coming up with state nothing. Don't worry Abo, nothing changes the conversation like a red going across the floor. Did you act like you don't not doing do big week for me? But wait a minute, did did I hear I? Did I hear that Trump tried to blame the son President Obonnadent. Trump tried to you know, he's the one eating dropping crumbs on the floor ice cream ants. Just I do know you blame that. Bringa McDonald's. McDonald's is good, all right, it's that time. Y'all buckle up and hold on tight. We got it you here. It is a strawberry letter. Here we go. Subject Yes, years and years of cheating Steve, Shirley and Tommy. I'm a wife of fourteen years. I've been with my husband for eighteen years. We were together as young teenagers. He doesn't know that I've been seeing someone else since before we got married. I love this other man simply for the man that he is when we're together. His focus is on me. He is he has unlimited he has limitless sex drive is what she meant to say, and pleases me every time. About a year ago, I began a sexual relationship with another man who I care very much for. I love his company, I love the sex, and I feel safe when we are together. My husband and I spend our time arguing, screaming, yelling, and slinging insults. I know everyone will say that it's because of my cheating, but my husband has no idea, never busted me. It's more about his shortcomings. He hardly works. I pay mostly everything, and I don't respect him for that. I love him, but I don't like who he has become. Sometimes I pray that he comes home after I am asleep so I don't have to hear his voice. He failed me. I believed in him, but in all these years he has failed to deliver. His only true passion is smoking weed. Am I wrong for running to the arms of two very successful men? Well? Morally, yeah, I know, take that all in right. Morally, yes, of course you're wrong. I mean, you know as well as I do that this is adultery and that cheating is wrong. You know that, But I mean, why did you write the letters? The question? Is this like a true confession sort of thing that you just wanted to get this off your chest? What is really going on with you? And I'm quite frankly, I'm not surprised that, um, your husband never caught you, because usually women are just way smarter than men at cheating. But but having said that, you are miserable in your marriage and something else is going on. You're cheating with not one, but two different men. I don't get that. Why just haven't you filed for divorce? You're some sort of serial cheater? I inc um, I think you're sort of some sort of really uh, you know, I think you enjoy the thrill of cheating, you know, of possibly getting caught maybe or something. You need that excitement in your life, because, honestly, I don't think you ever gave your marriage a fighting chance because you admit that you were cheating with this man before you even married him. Now you're cheating not only on your husband, but you're cheating on the man you started cheating with. So you're just a serial cheater to me, Steve um years and years of cheating. Let's start at the bottom of the letter. Am I wrong for running to the arms of two very successful men? Uh? You're asking us this? Am I wrong? You already know the thing is? You don't care though. Okay, then, now let's go back up to the top. Shirley, Steve, and Tommy. You're the first person to ever put Tommy in the Strawberry Letter, and I'm or why because he's been talking a lot during the Strawberry Letters, and we offer you are humblest apology of that. Now let's get to the letter. You've been with your You've been a wife of fourteen years, you've been with your husband for eighteen. You got together as teenagers. He doesn't know that I've been seeing someone else since before we got married. Okay, right there, right there, you would never ever committed to this man or to the marriage. Now you got the nerves in your letter. After you state your case as to why you with these two men, you say in the nerve of you to say he failed me. I believed in him, but in all these years he has failed to deliver. He has failed you. Right, You've never really been in a man's wife. You've never been true to him, you've never been committed to him. And then you got the audacity to turn around and say that this man has failed you, failed you. You're getting out of him what you deserve, which is nothing. You ain't putting nothing in you. You've been getting a lot put in you, but you ain't nothing. Oh you are true, you man. Because he's smoking weed. You ain't here. Oh my god, watching cartoons in seilers. You ain't here. We'll be back with more of a Steve's response coming up at twenty three after the hour. By his I mean him him right there, I means coming back. You're listening Steve Harvey Morning Show. All right, come on, let's get to part two of your response Steve to today's Strawberry letter. He just sucked to Steve. You know, uh, this woman right here, Sureley says she's just a chronic cheater, and that's what she is. I don't care. See, she's been seeing this man since before they got married. She says, I love this man simply for the man that he is. When we're together, his focus is on me. He has unlimitless sex drive and pleases me every time. Okay. Then the question was, well, why didn't she marry him? Then guess what if she didn't married him, she would still be seeing someone else. Let's explain something to you. If you have a husband and you're cheating on him with someone since you were married, and your description of this other man is that when we're together, his focus is on me. He has unlimitless sex drive and pleases me every time. Okay, that you would think was the ultimate. Right after that, she goes, about a year, I began a sexual relationship with another man for what you just say. He was a man who is unlimitless and pleases you every time you turn around and go get another man. You're not just a Cheatah, you're freaking away? You just what's wrong with you? Why don't you sit your hot trash tail down from somewhere. Just thirsty, Steve bad. It's nothing worse than an old thirsty chick. You're just thirsty. You see, you got to drink her just sits your tail down. So well? Do you have children? She didn't say that, but does she? She probably does after fourteen years of marriage. Now there's other man who I care for very much, love his company. She would love the sex and I feel safe when he together. Oh he just great, big old man dingo, big old slave lovel If she did have children, who would the daddy be? It ain't the dope smoker. You got a freak show, you got, you got a man dingo. Man, You got a weed smoking here? He is smoking weed all day. All right, Steve, you know we gotta get out of here.

She's going to be you know, I mean she already is a US actress right now, she's an actress. Uh. To British Royal. Okay, by getting baptized in the Church of England.

Here we go, Steve, These are just for regular people, now, okay, regular people with regular paining jobs. Okay, okay. Number one, Family and general practitioners. Okay, all right, they made the best salary increases. Compensation and benefits managers that's two. Surgeons came in number three, Number four, psychiatrists interesting, Yeah, five, Airline pilots, co pilots and flight engineers that's five that saw an increased personal financial advisors number six, and estesiologists number seven. Yeah, they make money, they make good money. And number eight orthodonis. I can't. There's none of that exactly. I said. These are regular people, now, not you. I could do that in a studiology. I can put your put your butt under. Now, I can do that. Really, you can't. You're just hold that man's cup on the monk and they dog dog. That's a hard job like that the most important job because you have to be precise. You you can't have given the amount you got all of that. You gotta know exactly what you're doing. Yeah, you gotta know what you're doing. You still think you can do it, You can do it. You have been put under. Yeah, I've been put on. Man, it's the most amazing thing. You wake up like you feel like you've been going like five minutes, could be twelve. I know. I went in to get all four of my wisdom teeth out and you wake up, wake up. They were like, well you're done. Did you do it? Nothing? I got put under because I had four wisdom teeth taken out one time and to screw implants in my jaw all in one operation. Because I told you us to look and I'm not coming back in here. Yeah, to take too much for me. He put me out, he said during the surgery. He said, first time in his life. He said, you came to Mr Harvey and said I'm gonna need some more drugs. You know what, feel it? I wish there was a way I could my head and leave it at the Dinners's office and come back and pick it up. So what, Steve, you couldn't You said you couldn't feel it? No, the dentist told me that's what I did. Wow, I told you said the first time I've ever in my career heard a person wake up out of under anesthesia and then request more, like just to doc. And I just said, man, I gotta get this guy more because he's conscious. And then you went right back and then woke up, and you were fun first I've ever seen it. I had an anesthegias one time. I was having a surge be done, a procedure done, and they'd be so happy though they're the happiest people in the room. He came in blasted, I know you won't to leave me, but you'll go if I have to. Man, it was so funny, and they know I was gone. You got and they talked to you like where would you like to go on vacation and stuff like that. You never Yeah, you drift off and you wake up and it's all over. Yeah, it is it's a very RESTful sleep, it is. Yeah, all right, Well, coming up next, the Senate passed the House bill. We'll tell you about it right after this. You're listening to the Steven Show. All right. Well, I'm sure you guys have heard by now. The US Senate vote it just before to a m. Eastern time on Saturday. I'm talking late in the midnight hour. Okay. They voted to pass the sweeping tax overhaul worth roughly one point four not million, not billion, trillion with the t AA trillion one point for trillion dollars, putting the Trump White House a big step closer to its first major legislative victory, and it will be the first one for this year in his first year of the presidency. House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi, Democrat from California, of course, also responded, calling the legislation a betrayal of the American middle class. The bill is not yet finalized. Saturday's vote means the Senate and the House have passed similar tax reform plans now, but negotiators from both sides will meet today to agree on a single piece of legislation before it is sent to the president. Also, uh, if you guys, recall, on this past Friday, as a part of Robert Mueller's investigation into connections between Russia and President Trump, former National security advisor Michael Flynn was officially charged with a single count of lying to the FBI. Yeah. Flynn pleaded guilty and has confirmed that he is now cooperating with Mueller. There. Well, he's probably so he's probably copying a plea to not do to yeah, exactly, to serve up a certain amount of information. So, but we don't really know. Look y'all, this is just my opinion. So don't you don't have to think this way? This stuff right here when it comes to this government, we don't have any say. So we are just people watching foreign policy and this stuff with this investigation. We're just watching it go down because we don't even know what's really going on. And if we don't like it when it comes time for voting, if you don't like what's going on, that's going yeah, exactly right, you know, because it's it's like this tax player. I don't even know what to think about it because I know that we're being lied to on a few levels here, and it's the way they did it. They save everything undercover. There's one thing, to cut taxes for the rich. And I can understand that if you're rich, you want to pay less taxes. Who wants to pay more taxes? But the cuts that they put in in terms of Medicare and and school you know, subsidies and stuff like that, educated and Obamacare, to connect all of that with it is hurtful for poor people in the ordinary man. There's nothing we can do about it. That part I don't agree with. You know, Look, in order to make the tax cut be okay, they're taking from programs that people need to offset the money. Now do they have a valid point in that if you make corporate taxes easier on corporations with less of them leave the United States? I believe so. If you also put heavy taxes on companies who have left the United States to bring their goods back into the States to sell, would that cut that down? Yes, it would. So in order for these corporations to stay here, they gotta get some type of tax and centives. That's why people go to certain states, and that's why rich people moved to Florida, get residents in Florida or Las Vegas. But don't sell it asm middle class Christmas. Listen to me. They're telling the truth. But what they're not giving you is the definition of middle class. Coming up at forty nine after the hour, our last break of the day with just one more thing you're listening to st all right, this is our last break of the day, guys, just one more thing. Our first Lady. We don't see her that much, we don't hear about her that much, but she is there, and she is she is our first Lady. Yes, that's why I standing my words. Milani and Trump was at the helm of the ninety annual National Christmas tree Lighting ceremony, flipping the switch after the President led the crowd in a countdown from ten. The Colorado Bruce Bruce lit up behind President and First Lady, covered almost entirely by thousands of lights. Uh so, Steve, this is perfect. Uh do you want to give us an update now, because you know you've been doing that daily? An update on your tree lighting with Earl the Georgia Guy Christmas tree delivery guy dog. We gotta see it, man, I mean it's it's now. So what happened? Well, you know, get get in Earl out of Georgia boys, bought the tree and set it up and they flocked it, you know, put the snow on it, and they put the lights they put but you know they know the other dudes had to put the lights on after they flocked it. But then the Georgia wanted to bring it in by theirself, but the l A crew wanted to help. That's where the conflicts started. Now I got up. So the last conversation was we're gonna bring it in. We don't need no help. We just really don't Mr Harvy. We don't like these fellas getting in the way, you know what we're doing. And then the l A boys, well, you know what, we wanted not to, you know, damage the walls and the doors, and we want to protect the flooring and everything and possibly hitting the chandeliers because the tree is so large, so we want to be here to protect that side of it. We don't need that. We can see walls, we know where the floors is at, we see the shadowier. We just got to get in here and get it up. We don't need all that, just black white. So that was a little bit. So finally they got the tree stood up and about two ft too tall, so we had to cut the top off a little bit. You okay, so you went for the top. Yeah, so we had to cut the top off a little bit. And no, that was a that was a dilemma, you know. So anyway, what what what what we end up doing was we got the tree in and this hot this hot ended well, Nurse Harvey got it. It's all up perfectly place. You know. We you know, we done our think thank you want to have it. So then the l A crew said, well, now that you've done that, uh, you're dismissed and we're gonna put the lights on the tree. Who the hell is you? Are? You just missing folks out of house that ain't chosen? That's cool that I'm I'm stuck on the alphabet of W right now. Who and what are you talking to me for? Because I'm put this trip up and Mr Harvey is the only one, or Miss Harvey, queen the hell is the only one? Get us up out of here. You can't just get nobody. Why is you talking to me a little lightweight about what you want? Excuse me, it's not gonna be any more discussions about lightweight. Now. The decorating portion of it belongs to well that's fine. We don't do that. We we treat people. I ain't gonna tell you that no more. We don't think that. Damn about you. Who's gonna do the Decoray, we only got one with balls and ornaments and tell, so we don't do that. We look, we're looking at us. We try. People were braying, we haven't work we made. We gotta know that. We ain't got a hook in the truck. We ain't got one damn ball hook in the truck. And he said, these aren't just any size ornaments. He's a very very large, expensive ornaments like hillbili. So he said, what's your talking about? And then the dude reached out and pull out about four the balls and they were huge. He would, God, that's that's amazing right there, y'all shore, y'all don't need no help lifting the big heavy balls because y'all don't look like y'all. Y'all, y'all look like y'all do big ball work. Don't seem like you do big ball work. And so it got a little ugly right there. And the tree is up in this finish, just done. It's the most beautiful tree we've ever had. Oh really, and I got to get it l a boys credit. They came and did it. And the last year it was the best tree we ever had. This year tops that tree. Oh wow, what about the presence underneath? Man? Once you get the billion dollars? What you're saying, it ain't no underneath, It ain't no underneath, well probably for time, but other than that, it ain't skirted with a nice you know, swede of velvet skirt. And you can't see it. You can't see the basis. That's what you mean when you said there there is no underneath or whatever. You ain't no underneath you made just so you couldn't put president for us. Wow, you getting nothing nowhere? Why would you give somebody a gift that don't like Christian I sound like that doesn't make any sense. But he likes gifts. Though he said he didn't like Christmas, he didn't hated like gifts. All right, Steve, take us on home with your beautiful tree with no room for gifts underneath?
