You gotta use that turn. You gotta turn to turn them out. Got to turn out to turn the water the water. Come, come on your thing, h I shall will a good morning everybody. You're listening to the voice, Come on, DIGNI now wanted only Steve Harvey got a radio show today. It's real simple for everybody that's trying to become successful on any level, in any arena, any genre. I don't care what it is. If you're trying to be successful, this message is for you. Let me help you understand something real clear. You ain't gonna make it the way you want to, and you're not going to make it to the heights that's fully out there and available for you without God. And I'm just keep it real, simpling clean for you today. You're not going to make it the way you want to, and you're not going to get to the heights that's available to you without God. You have to get this through your head. You can try if you want to, because I did. I'm here to tell you I am talking purely from experience. Here you can try it without God, and you can see how far you can get when you have some measures of success. Of course you will. Will it feel like days like you might make it? Of course you will. But let me ask you a question, though. What you're gonna do about them days when you feel like you ain't gonna make it. When you're gonna do about them days where it feel like there are no answers to your questions. What you're gonna do about them days? What you're gonna do about them days when everybody laughing that you can turn against you. What you're gonna do about them, days when you just don't see no way through it? What you're gonna do about them days? I got the sunshine, you know, sunshine cool? Everybody got friends. When it's Sunday outside, You want some friends, hit the lotto, you want to get rid of them friends, go ask for some help. Man. I'm talking about man. They scattered like roaches when lights come on. I'm trying to tell you. So, now here we go again, and you can do this without God now, because I've done it and you can have yourself some measure success. Let me even hip you to a little bit closer, though, Let me tell you why you are doing it without God and having some measure of success. Can I tell you why? Because of God's grace and mercy to us, because of his grace and mercy trying to keep us in spite of ourself, for the real mission that He really got for us. See that's the truth of the matter now, now what we're talking about nasty See. So yeah, yeah, you can do it without God, and you can have some measure success without God. And yeah, you know, you know, yeah you got your little degree and everything. Yeah you completed the program, got all that, YadA, YadA YadA. But don't you know something. It's because of God's grace and mercy that he helps us anyway when even when we ain't asking for help, when he bails us out anyway, when we don't even ask him to be bailed out. You know why, because He loves us that much that he would allow us to exist until we get our mind together where he could take us away, really trying to take us. Let's get this real straight and clear to day. You can do this without God if you want to, But I am telling you to get to where you really want to be and to be all that God has for you. You got to have God. There's no ifs ands buts about it. And let me tell you this here. I don't really care what nobody then told you. Are you listening to me? I don't care what they say. Don't get this thing twisted. They got these people out here talking about their luminatis and all this here. Man, don't listen to me. Don't get caught in this mess. Don't get caught in no foolishness. You were created by God. God created you, ain't your soul. We were all created in His image, all of us. Don't get to talk about you. Find to cut a deal with it with the devil in all you ain't cutting no deal with nobody. Man. The devil don't do deals. He one sided. I'm taking you to hell. You going to hell. You're burning here, that's his deal. I want your soul. I want you to lose hole. I want you to take your life. I want you to take some other people's lives. I want you to feel hopeless. I want you to realize that there ain't no God. That's his whole deal. His whole deal is negative. Oh he can talk you into dealing drugs if you want to. But let me tell you something about this. I watch these shows all the time, drug inking. All this here, cocaine mafia, everybody own. Now go to jail or get killed. Our prisoners has filled the day with our young boys because they thought they could outslick the system. They thought they had a way. They thought. They said to them, been here and they failed. For the old cliche, man, I gotta do what I gotta do, I gotta get this money. Well, the only reason you gotta do what you gotta do is because, like I say all the time, you didn't do what you were supposed to do. It is but because of His grace and mercy that we exist. And God has just taken care of you, looking out for you. Got some angels encamped around you until you get your mind right so he can get you where you're going. But now I want you to understand something. There's a cause and a consequence and a penalty for everything we do. This outside the will of God. That's for all of us. All of us have consequences, penalties and everything that we got to deal with. Outside of the will of God. Understand that clearly, don't get this thing twisted sideways. You understand me. You know. I heard a young man tell me one day. He said, uh, Steve, you know, man, I just don't see how God looking out for me, if he would allow all these things to happen to me. I'm having such a hard time in my life. I really don't see how there's a God looking out for me. I lived the young man. I said, the man, it's just something. Man, you're still breathing. He said, yeah, I'm standing here talking to you. I said, you're still free. He said, what you mean. I said, you ain't locked up on you said no, I'm standing here talking to you. I said, where you get them clothes from? I bought him? I said where you bought him with what I bought him with? Money? So where you get the money from? You? So I got a job, mister, huh, I got a job. I said, well, well where you live though, he's O got apartment? I said, well where you get to it's to Harve. I'm working. I got an apartment. I got a job. I was okay, okay, So now this this God ain't looking out for you? Thinkin finish telling me what you're telling me. Well, see, man, I'm having it real hard right now.

Tell me about this how God ain't looking out for you? He said, Oh? And you know, man, every every time I try to do something, it seemed like it go wrong for me. I said, but let me the man something. Man, I say, every time I go wrong for y'all say, somehow you survive it? He said, yeah, yeah, I survive it some kind of way, but it's still be all messed up for me. I say, but but you still got through it though, he said yeah. I said, okay, man, gone finish telling me how how God ain't looking out for you? And he stopped. He said him it is Harve. He said, how come every time I tell you something that's going wrong, you keep telling me God looking out for me? I said, because you're still here, man, I said, See, you don't understand it. I said. You seem to think that you're supposed to just supposed to skate through life. That it's all supposed to go how you want it, any kind of way. I said, Man, Jesus the test of your faith, I say, God looking out for you the whole time. I say, every time you tell me something going wrong, you seem to turn around and tell me how you survived it. You keep telling me what ain't going right, but you keep telling me all these things you have. I said, man, so what you gotta do is you gotta stop looking at what you ain't got, column and start focusing on what you do have. Column. But if you ain't happy with nothing heating done for you, you wanted to keep piling stuff on. I said, you fail in the test, young man. The test is are you grateful for where you are right now? So I could give you more so we could move forward. He said, oh, man, I never even looked at like that. I said, well, why don't you take your blessed cell phone somewhere and sit down? He said, I think I'm going over here and let you finish talking. I said, thank you. So sometimes you just got to look at what you do got, folks, that's all it is.

It was not all the rest of them been there. Everybody else been out was there and I was that the lights went out one night completely. He didn't have money to play all weekend. All right, Steve, it's time now from a series Why We Vote? He has a gentleman, miss Andre. Okay, thank you very much. I learned something every time he talks the morning. This is and two with the news. Okay, Well, President Trump has been claiming that we quote turned the corner in the fight against the coronavirus. His White House Chief of Staff Mark Meadows told CNN's Jake Tapper that the Trump administration is basically given up trying to keep it for spreading. We're not going to control the pandemic. We are going to control the fact that we get vaccines, therapeutics and other mitigations were but because it is a contagious virus just like the food well it's not like the seasonal foods, much deadlier. In fact, they have been eighty thousand newly confirmed cases of it in the US on Friday. Oh well, now to the subject of the election. They've lost ballot fraudulent ballots. As we enter the final stretch of the twenty twenty presidential election season, here's some straightforward, last mined information courtesy of Amber mcreynold's head of the National Vote at Home Institute and coalition. In some states they call it absence he voting. Some states call it vote by mail, some call it mail on voting. But fundamentally the ballot is handled in the same way in terms of process needed counting. The big issue is a signature discrepancy or a missing signature, and that just means that the voters signature on file doesn't match what's on the envelope exactly. So most states have a cure process or voters can resolve that discrepancy, and that goes the same for a missing signature on the top of a ballot. You'll see mark this ballot so on the old roles using black or blue ink. Follow the instructions in terms of marketing the ballot, and then also follow the instructions with regards to returning the ballot. There's still a few states that require a witness. Not everyone lives with another adult. I think that this provision inadvertently disenfranchises people and it makes the process more difficult. In most states, there are provisions set up where you can drop your ballot off either at drop boxes or at voting locations or at the clerk's office. In some states you are allowed to drop off at polling places, but that's actually pretty limited. To make sure you follow the instructions and check your state's rules, go to canivote dot org, which is a website run by the National Associations Secretaries of State and you can put in any state that you're in and it will give you all the details you need for your state. That was Amber mcreynold's head of the National Vote at Institute and Coalition. That website again is can i vote dot org. This is an trip. Now back to Steve Harvey Morning Show. You're listening, hey, listen to everybody, as promise our special guests this morning. It's a former chairman of South Carolina Democratic Party. He's right now running against the incumbent Senator Lindsey Graham. We all know how we feel about him. We all know what he is. It's not a game. He is everything he's ever been trumped up to be and even more so now so he gots to go. He has been up incumbent Senator of South Carolina for too long, and right now he holds a US Senate seat, but in a state where no Democrat has ever won the Senate seat in over twenty years. We now have a close race on our hands, and we have an option in South Carolina where we all get to play a part in making history and changing the direction of this great state. Our very own Jaanthony Brown is from South Carolina. But ladies and gentlemen, let's meet the man that's about to change things in South Carolina. Please welcome the only choice for South Carolina. Come us to Jamie Harrison Building. Jamie, how you doing today, sir, Oh Steve, I'm doing so well, man, I'm blessed and fortunately and I'm ready to send Lindsay Graham home. Well. Listen, man, we want to congratulate you because over the weekend your campaign raised over two million dollars in forty eight hours, and as the polls are now showing, you have us lead over your Republican opponent Lindsey Graham. We're not comfortable, but we want to say congratulations. Yes, thank you, thank you, thank you. We still got a lot of work to do, though, folks, to get to the po and listen, South Carolina. We want everybody, every member of the Steve Harvard Nation, Steve Harvard Morning Show crew, all of us have voted. We are all in support of the right ticket. And this man right here has a chance to make history, and we have him on today. He's gonna tell us or what he is about so we can know exactly. We already know what Lindsay Graham is about. We already got it. We've heard enough, we've seen enough. This dude ain't fitting a change, he's too old to change. So let's just get it on. As the focus on healthcare has grown during this pandemic, Jamie, you've emphasized a need for Medicaid expansion. Let's talk about that a little bit, yes, sir, Well, you know, listen, Steve, we live in the state where almost two hundred and fifty thousand people don't have healthcare. We're just two years ago, fourteen of our forty six counties didn't have an OBG y in the entire county. Now think about that, an entire county actually having fourteen of them and not have one ob GYN in the entire county. But four of our rural hospitals have closed over the past few years. And Lindsay Graham right now supports the lawsuit that is sitting in the Supreme Court that will be heard on November tenth, that has a potential or ripping away the healthcare of twenty eight million people in this country, many would pre existing conditions. Hey, Jamie, listen, hang on one second. Jamie will be right back with more with future Senator Jamie Harrison right after this. You're listening to all Right, y'all, we're back and we're talking with candidate for Senator Senator of South Carolina, mister Jamie Harrison or running against Lindsey Graham, who has got to go. So you've really made a connection with Democrats, man, A strong segment of independence and a small group of moderate Republicans are supporting YouTube. What message do you have for the voters of South Carolina. We need some real leadership on these issues. And Lindsey Graham has showed us that he cares more about Washington political games than he does the lives of the people in the states. And that's why it's time for him to go. Yeah, on so many levels, man, because mister Jamie Harrison, it's running for Senate in South Carolina. Make no mistake about this. We have a chance to put a man in a Senate seat, which we need control up desperately to stop this machine that's in place that's taking away everything that's a benefit to people who really need help. And so healthcare is one of those things. Well, Steve, you know, in this race, Lindsay Graham is trying to scare people to vote for him. I'm trying to inspire people to support me. And that's a big contrast and difference in this race is I told folks from the very starts, this isn't not about Democrats versus Republicans, or progressive versus conservatives. It's about doing what's right versus what's wrong. And for far too long as they've been doing the wrong thing here in South Carolina, and people have been suffering. And I know what hard times are. You know. I grew up in Orangeburg, South Carolina, the son of a team mom. My mom was sixteen years old when she had dropped out of high school, and was my grandparents who took care of me. My grandma had an eighth grade education because she had to stop school and she picked cotton and when she worked in a textile plan My grandfather had a fourth grade education. But you know, despite all the harshness we had, I always had hope that things could get better. They had hope that things would get better for me. I was the first in my family to go to college, went to Yale, went to Georgetown Law School, I taught high school. I worked for Jim Priver, and you know, I've been blessed and I lived the American dream. But the reason why I'm running is because I want the other little kids growing up today, some of the ones that are watching my TV ads and are coming to our rallies. I want them to be able to live their American dreams. But you've got to have the right type of people in leadership in order to do that, who actually care about those kids and the things that they're going to. You know, Center GRAMDMA I used to respect. I used to thought that he came about it, but I see that he only cared about it doing political power. And that is why we have to change things. It's about closing the book on the Old South and writing a brand new book called a New South, one that is bold, inclusive, and diverse, where all of our voices should be heard and valued. And that's what I'm fighting for each and every day. And I hope South Carolina give me the opportunity on November third. What do you say to the people of South Carolina who are waiting to decide or have them folded? Why should they choose Jamie Harrison? Well, you know, Steve, the people that we send to Washington have to be folks who understand the harshest that we've gone through. You know, Man, I can recall morning, you know, getting up to go get a bowl of cereal, and I go to the fridge to get the milk and there's no milk. Not because somebody forgot the carton of milk, is because we couldn't afford it. And so, you know, we've had hard times. But again, but despite the hard times, we always had hope that things will be better. You know, I don't think there's ever been a centator that grew up on food stamps. I don't think there was ever a senator ever evicted from their homes and had to lay on couch cushions and patterns as my grandma's states in the houses of aunts and autus. Right. But but but those are the things that I bring to the United States Senate. So it won't be an academic discussion for me. When we're talking about housing in the high eviction rates here in South Carolina, or when we're talking about the unemployment benefit that so many people need here, and Lindsey Graham said, over his dead body, will he allow an extension of the unemployed benefits? So you know that won't be an academic discussion because I don't understand it. I don't know it because I've lived it. And that's the difference that I'll bring. We've only had ten black centators in the United States ever ever. Wow right, Jamie hey man, we love you brother, Thank you for your fight, man, thank you for everything you're doing. And we're gonna show him up. We're gonna keep pushing Manna, We're gonna get it across across the line. And vote and vote early. Don't wait to November third, Go ahead, man, exactly. Thank you so much, man, and congratulations man, thank you very much. Well, guys, eight days until the November third election, please go please and vote early.

We could be reading your letter live on the air, just like we're gonna read this one right here, right now. Yeah, buggle up and hold on tight. We got it for you. Here. It is the Strawberry Letter. Subject, I don't want to hurt the little guy. Dear Stephen Shirley. I dated a guy off and on for about three years, but we never had sexual relations because I was having myself a good time dating several men at once and I was celibate. He was a perfect gentleman and had every quality that I prayed for in a man, but I wasn't ready to settle down. Now that I'm twenty nine, I decided it was time my heart led me back to the guy I've been casually dating and he was still single and he still wanted me. Two months into dating, we had sex, and since then I haven't been able to tell him that I don't want him and it's over. Before we had sex, he kept telling me that he wanted to taste my entire body, and he bragged on his skills in the bedroom. I've been celibate for five years, so I told him he better bring it, and I couldn't wait. It finally happened, and it was a very romantic night dot dot dot at first. Then he started with a lot of wet kissing and licking my face, which was different than his usual sensual kiss He proceeded to lick my entire body with his tongue, drenching me in his saliva, which was very uncomfortable. By the time we got to the actual sex part. I just wanted it to end. He got a condom, put it on, then turned to me, and all I could see was the baggie was a baggie something hanging from him. Surely the thing didn't even fit. Sure I wanted to run out of there, but I didn't. I endured close to five minutes of heavy panting, moaning, and sweating. I didn't say one word because I didn't feel a thing. He jumped up afterwards and had the nerve to start bragging and said he tried to take it easy on me since it's been a while. Negro, Please, how should I let little man know that I won't ever be going back for seconds? Please advise? Hey, first of all, I want to thank y'all for a while. Yeah. Yeah, this is what Taylor made for you. Yeah yeah, But you know what, Steve, this is. This is some criticism that has no happy ending. I mean, if you go ahead and do that and tell him, and I hate these kinds of letters. I do because there's no easy way to tell him something like this. You can't tell anyone something like this. He's too small. You didn't feel anything. You can't tell him that, no matter what you do, or how you say it, or how easy you try to let him down. His feelings will be hurt and his ego will be crushed. Okay, I say all of that because you called him little man. You know, you kind of clowned him a little bit. I don't want you to clown him. If you decide to tell him this, I don't know. This is too crushing. And please don't forget that you said your heart led you back to him, so you initiated this relationship and all of this. And on another note, how you stay there that long for the tongue saliva drenching is beyond me. Look, it's just way too much, you know. But the reality is people break up every single day. They break up every single day. You can break it off with him, You just have to tell him something else. Just don't let that be the reason, please, because again you will crush Steve. Yeah, you know, I think the part that we're failing to realize, and hell is that crushing is you know, we learned the majority of our lessons we learned in life off from a failure and disaster. All the valuable lessons I've learned in my life came often footnotes. The tailing of a disaster or failure. So let's look at this failure. You dated this guy off and on for three years, never had sexual relations with him because you was dating several men at once, and you were celibate, perfect, gentleman, everything you ever wanted, but you weren't ready. Then you finally decided you did. And here's a key. Your heart led me back to the guy i'd been casually dating. He was stell singly still wanted you. You should have asked yourself, right then, after five years of playing him off, why is he still available? You have got to ask yourself that. Ladies, when you meet a man that's perfect, ain't ever been married, ain't got no kids, you have got to ask yourself one question, why is this man so perfect? Ain't never been married, and ain't got no kids. When we come back, I'll tell you why. All right, We'll have part two of Steve's response coming up at twenty three minutes after the hour, subject I don't want to hurt the little guy. We'll be back right after this. You're listening to Steve Harvey Morning Show. All right, Steve, come on, let's recap my strawberry letter for today. The subject is I don't want to hurt the little guy. Oh sounds so sad. Nine year old girl been cellibate for five years, finally met somebody she wanted to make a move with her heart led her back to this man. Come to find out, it just so happened. He's still sinkle, he's still available, and he still wanted her. Well you hadn't you been sellable and everything, and you just started dating it. Two months in, y'all had sex and you ain't been able to tell him that you don't want him, and is over. Now, let me tell you what happened before y'all had sex. He kept telling you he wanted to taste my entire body. That right down, what's what he knows is his specialty, tasting. He hasted tasting. It's his specialty. He led with it. He told you that's what it won't He said, that's what he was gonna do. Y'all got your clothes off and he started kissing. Then he started licking your face. See that wasn't licking your face. The tasting had begun, and he told you he wanted to taste your entire body because this is what he got. This his best thing. Is to taste it. Well, he started all this wet kissing, licking your face, and it was just different than the usual kisses. Then he started to lick your entire body with his tongue. Now, let me tell you something. When y'a I'm Monday, the covers and you start getting your whole body lick with his tongue, obviously he thirsty. But his thirst brings on a lot of marster, because your tongue to get dry after you lick her arm. If you lick a whole arm, that ought to dry a regular man's mouth out. If you lick a woman's arm, that shit dry out your whole mouth. But obviously this excited him, and he was just slobbling the whole time. And slobblingbl not slobbery. Slobbling. Slobbling is when it's moti come. So next thing, you know, your shoulders just wet, both your arms is wet, all up around your neck is wet. And and slobbery is different than water. It's a little thicker. It's a little thicker. And now here he comes all around your breast. Now he all down by your neighbor. Now the whole top of your body just ice cold. He just stood a slobbling. Hold your heads. You're about to run about this damn room. You're about to lose your mind. Just as the ass sitting up your slobbling over me. When you carry up and get to this, he did your entire body. Now you're in the thighs is wet, your knee caps were wet. All on the back of your caps is wet. You're just sitting up there with this man just slobbling on your ass. Where is this going? Boy? This is too much now, you say, which was very uncomfortable by the time we got to the actual sec part. I just wanted it over. You can't, yeah, because you're cold. That's why your eyes cold. Ain't you wet? And you ain't even wet, You just damp. You know how it field when you're damp. You ever had a wet T shirt on after you work out and go out in the air condition, hit it and you want to take it off. That's where she had, but you can't get it off because it ain't an article of clothing. It's slobb them. So now he got the condole. He put it on, and when he turns around, it looked like somebody the draped a sheet of saran wrap on him. It's chest, hang it off for him, boil. Let me take you some. That's hard when you don't fill up a condom. It's hard. Now the chances you're getting pregnant is very high, very high, because they ain't gonna be able to stay on a little man to turn around. And then he started it ain't fit. You wanted to run out of there, but you tried to hang in that because you thought, well, maybe hold on, maybe hold on. Maybe he'll rise to the occasion. Maybe he'll somehow fill up the room. Maybe he'll somehow his love will expand all here and there. All of five minutes, heavy panting, moaning and sweating. You didn't say one word because you didn't feel a damn thing. Well, I got news for you. He didn't neither. See, See, you aren't the only one to feel nothing. He didn't because when you love man, it ain't nothing for you to feel. You just that's why he got to do the heavy brandon and breathing, because he got to work itself up, because he ain't ain't ain't no friction. He just he just over there and he jumped up and had the nervous start Bragg and said he tried to take it easy on you. See you, but then you said, negro, Please, I know what you really saying.

This One group was sitting in the White House and told Donald Trump, you're actually our first black president. He said that, just smiling and nodding with that grin on his face. It has been alarming to me when I see commercials, when I see black people on this saying because he cares about people like me. I don't see any of it. But I found something that I wanted to share with you all in this closing remarks. This is a man named Kevin Muriel. He is a pastor and I think he was speaking or as his church. I'm not really sure, but it was at the Cascade United Methodist Church in Atlanta. He did something and said something in front of a congregation that really moved me and I wanted to share it with you. These are my closing remarks today. This is Kevin Muriel from the Cascade United Methodist Church. You praise this president for being pro black. Before you praise this president for caring about ethnic communities and marginalized populations, do your homework. Well, some of y'all didn't do your homework. They didn't do their homework, So let me tell you just a little bit of research, not just him personally, but also some of his policies. Perhaps before they went and sat at this table, they should have done their homework, because if they had done their homework, they would have known that President Trump has ramped up mass incarceration by instructing Attorney General Jeff's sessions to revitalize the War on drugs. They would have known that of the eighty seven picks for federal judges, eighty five have been white and just one has been black, and one has been Hispanic. They would have known that President Trump supported the Department of Justice engaging in unlawful border purgase, making it difficult for blacks to go and vote. They would have known that Trump is ending protection for predatory lenders, which disproportionately harm black people. They would have known that he is ignoring the affordable housing crisis by ordering hud to triple the rits of poor tenants in public housing, which mostly affect black people. Do your homework. They would have known that he is proposing cutting two hundred billion dollars over the next ten years from supplemental nutrition assistance programs that will bring more hunger in black and brown communities. They would have known that Trump is worsening the health of black communities through environmental deregulation, which disproportionately harms black people through exposure to pollution. Now that's just a few on the policy side, but you don't have to go too far to ask. What about him personally would make me know that he is not per black. I'm glad you asked, because in nineteen seventy, Trump's real estate company tried to avoid rinning apartments to black tenants and gave preferential treatment to white tenants. He began his twenty sixteen presidential campaign with a speech disparging Mexican immigrants as criminals and rapists. Y'all remember that in two thousand and sixteen, he said of people of color, you are living in poverty, Your schools are no good, you have no jobs. I just wanted somebody else's take on it. Look, listen, you can find something good that you want to say about President Trump. And and I'm not in an argument with you about it. I'm just talking to you about what's wrong and what's wrong. It's so obvious and so blatant and so divisive, Such divisive measures have been taken to divide this country. You can't say there's good people on both sides. You can't say that it's not. You can't be in a hate group, a white supremacist group, and be a good person, no more than you if you're in a black militia operation that goes around killing white people. You can't say those are good people, because it's just not. Man. I'm sorry, So what are we gonna do? We have an opportunity here to do something. We have an opportunity to vote for Senators Mike Epsseey in Mississippi or Warnick what's his name? In Georgia. Pail Warnock, you have a chance to vote for Jamie Harrison in South Carolina. It's so many things we can do today to vote and man, make a difference. Go to the polls, y'all. Take somebody to the polls. Encourage all your friends and relatives to go vote, and let's do something about this. Man. I know you have had to have had enough. I have he got to go. He don't think black lives matter. You're gonna find out that they really do because we're gonna vote. I bet they're gonna matter after this. For all Steve Harvey contests, no purchase necessary, void where prohibited.
