Today's show is pre recorded. Y'all know what time y'all don't know. Y'all have a sun giving them like the million bus things. And it's tough to me through goodt listening to mother for st Please I don't join join me. You gotta turn. You gotta turn to turn them out. Turn, you got to turn them out to turn. Turn the water the water go. Come come on your thad h I shall will Good morning everybody. You're listening to the voice, Come on dig me now, one and only. Steve Harvey, I got a radio show, just trying to give God some back, just some back of what even gave me, just a portion, you know. Just I'm just trying, man to to show some type of gratitude for all his blessings. I'm just trying to man, just just get it right sometimes, you know what I mean. I mean, man, you just can't do what you want to do and just live wrong all the time. Man, you got it at one point in time, Steve, come home. Man, come on, man, you could do better. I know you can, you know saying, and you know what I had to do. I had to stop saying, I'm gonna try to do better. And I just had to say, hey, man, I'm going to do better. You know, trying it's just to put forth and then if it don't work, well, okay. But if you make up in your mind and I'm going to do something, then trying isn't enough. It's getting it done is the only thing that matters. Since the difference between doing and trying. We're gonna try to win the game, or we're gonna go out here to win the game. Now, trying to win the game means that you could lose. But when you got in your mind made up, most athletes will tell you that they go out there with the full intent and purpose of winning and winning. Only see they don't put the second place finish on the cover Sports Illustrated. Second place don't get you there. You got to win. And now take it out of the scope of athletics, but keep it in that type of type of analogy in life. Man, you just want to you want to win in life, don't you. I mean, at the end of the day, don't you want to be on the cover of Sports Illustrated the life. Don't you want to be recognized for your hard work? Don't you want you know, to be recognized within the bonus structure down at your job. Don't you want to have your plaque up on the wall down at your job? I mean most people do. Some people could care less. Some people don't care about looking good or being their best. And that's cool. But I ain't talking to them though. I'm talking to you. I'm talking to those of you who want to be the best you can be. You know, people kill me when they're getting mad at people here and he Brown knows and he hall up on an employee of them. All man, the dude doing his job to the best of his ability, and he getting recognized for it. What they got to do? It? All that you're talking about because you ain't up there. It's amazing, man, how people describe other people's success. He's so lucky, lucky? Hey man, don't they kind of get you a little bit when people call you lucky? When let me tell you what luck really is, y'all. Luck is when hard work bumps up into opportunity. Some people call that luck. But hold on, let's think about this. If you wasn't working hard, an opportunity presented itself, what would you call that? But see, when you've been working hard, an opportunity presents itself and it bumps up each other. Now people want to call that luck, but hold up here, go to part though to day, ain't paying no attention to Yeah, that opportunity came by, But if you had not been working hard, and the hard work had not ran up in the opportunity, what would you have? No, sir, it's not luck, it's work. It is work, because as a scripture that says, faith without works is dead. But my mama was a Sunday school teacher. She taught me enough. Though. Now I know different between right and wrong, just like you do. You ain't gotta you know. Itcused me when people write a strawberry letter? Am I wrong for this? You know? Gooding? Well, look at let's read your letter? Are you wrong for this? You know you're wrong? What you don't need that's to be telling, you know? But I'm gonna do this anyway. Well, e see, go ahead, though, do what you want to do. But you know what, y'all, here's the best advice I can give you. This is what I really came to talk about this morning, but I got sidetrack because I listened. Get out of your own way. So many of us are blocking our home blessings. We just in own way. We are in our own way. And one of the most dangerous ways you can get in your way is to do it your way, to get it figured your way, and to lock in on your way and just the way it's got to go. Do you know how many people are blocking a blessing? Do you know how long I blocked mine with that mindset? Right there? Look, because it's the way you do it, Do you think that make it the right way? You think jazz, because you'dn't thought on it long and hard, and that's what you really want. Do you really think that your way is the right way or could there be a better way? See? Until I started listening to God and started paying attention to his way, man, I was spending my wheels. Man, I was out here so determined this how I was going to do it. But you know I had to learn how to get out of my own way because just because I could do it my way didn't mean it was the right way. I had to get out of my own way. Just get out your way, man, Now, what what does that mean? That means, see, set your goals, That means have your dreams that I'm saying, set your goals, man, I ain't saying don't set goals. Listen to me. Set your goals. What is it you want to happen? What is it you like to have? What is it you like to be? What are you aspire to? Set your goals and set your dreams. Now take your goals and your dreams to God and ask God to show you how. Man, you can save yourself a lot of pain. Listen to somebody who did it his way for so long. And when I finally got out of my way, out of my own way. When you've heard old people say, let go and let God, you've heard them say that I didn't. I didn't get it, but I got it. Now let go and let God. And it's amazing little saying. Though now you know you may not get it now. It took me a bunch of years to get it too. But when I took my goals and my dreams and my vision to God and I said, God, this is what I hope for, this is what I aspired to, this is what I want to be, this is why I would love to get to. Then I said, help me show me how. Point me in the right direction. Let me follow your footsteps, guide me and give me a spirit of discernment. Show me who wrong? Because I meet people every day. Ain't up to no good with me every single day. Oh man, Man, I can't believe I run up into you. Man, the Lord told me something's gonna happen to me today. Well, see, I talked to him every day. He did not mention you to me. He ain't said nothing to me. He didn't tell me what's gonna happen in mind. Now I don't mean it can't happen because I'm open to it. So really, man, I'm and and please no, I'm listening as well as I've ever listened before. But but get yourself together, though, see no, your goals in your dreams, and then let God show you how to do it. He'll do it. You know. It's so important everybody, that you get focused, that you aim for something, that you dream of something, that you aspire to something. But it's the most the best thing you can do. After you do all that, Man, get God involved in it. Man, talk to him. I mean, why would you not what you got to lose. You ain't got to go down there and make no big scene and run laps around the church and run up there and throw yourself on the altar and scream and flip over and throw money in the air. You ain't got to do that. This you and God, man, This you and God. You know you got to serve and praise Him the way you do it. You gotta let nobody else tell you highs done. It's a personal relationship. People kill me if you don't do it this way. If you don't come here to this church and you don't run around in this circle and you don't get flipped in the air, you don't, Hey, man, you better go have a relationship with God. See what that's about. You understand? Nobody throw you off with all that? All right, All right, y'all talk to him. He loves to hear from you. Today you're listening morning show, ladies and gentlemen. Without further ado, I think that we all have just gonna get it started.

You're listening show all right, here we go, time for the CLO Chief Love Officer Steve Harvey in the building. Let's go. Marcus in Atlantic City says, recently, my fiance lost a lot of weight, so she looks great, but she has a flat But her sister had weight loss surgery and got a Brazilian butt lift, so my girl wants one. Two. Her sister was at our house and my fiance encouraged me to look at her butt and feel it. I guess I got carried away and squeezed it a little too much. My fiance got mad and accused me of wanting to sleep with her. Sister. Is just a butt, and she told me to feel on it. But the butt was plus, she soft, But I didn't want her. How can I fix this? I don't want her? Well, you could stop lying about that, Marcus. What he wants you grabbed you wanted it all that grabbed and stuff. Yeah, you followed instruction, but it was But see what happened, Marcus was you probably didn't realize it, but when you did it, you bit your bottom lilt. That's what got you in trouble, when you sucked in your bottom loop. He made a noise. Oh I would have not. Yeah he did. This is what he did. Right here, we're there. Yeah, that breathe and that's what costs you. That's all it is. Ma. I can't help you, though, sudn't ask your woman wants you to drag nothing better than that another? And when is that? Chante and Gary? We're moving on, says My mother and I have always had the worst relationship, and now that I'm older, I can't stand her. She's been on drugs for most of my life and the embarrassment, the lies and stealing from me has me bitter. She's been clean for six years and I've helped her out whenever I can. She got saved and she's the very best Christian ever. She quotes Scripture all day and tells me I'm going to Hell every five seconds. How can I be there for her and work on our relationship? Without cursing her out. Well, you don't have to cuss out. But since she's the best Christian ever, why don't you remind her of a couple of things. There's some scriptures that if she's such a great and wants to quote some scriptures you know about not judging, you know, he who is without seeing cast the first stone, you know, forgiveness, understanding, you know how to you don't. You don't guide people into light by blowing out what love candle they got? So now your mama then got it together? Now everybody else held bound had she forgotten? But see, that's the problem with a lot of people who become Christians, not all, but some they get saved and all of a sudden they forget that they wasn't saved right, and other people do. And the only way to win people over and convert people as Christian it's just let your light shine. They can see the Jesus in you. Yeah, and you ain't got to tell nobody you're doing better. They can see it. You've been a junkie your whole damn life, her whole life. Now you don't went down to church for six years and all of a sudden you Jesus, where you're not. She is Jesus. That's what she's talking like, like she ain't got no seeing, no problem telling her daughter she going to hill, Well, wasn't that way you was going a few years back? Wow? Yeah, her dad is pretty upset about it. But don't cur so. It's kind of tough. You don't have to cuss out. Just show her some scriptures since she want to be a Christian, recite stuff. Don't say cash or first Stone. She's don't think of that rock. You don't want to You don't want to turn around that right back where she started. All right, thank you hello for that one. Yeah. Patrisa Tennessee says, I'm a thirty two year old woman and I've had a very open sex life. I have a male best friend that's the same way, and we recently crossed the line and ended up being friends with benefits. We've had threesomes and done lots of kinky things. He loves to see other people satisfy me orally, but he won't do it. It's an issue for me because I do it and enjoy it. He wants to be in a relationship, but this is a deal breaker. Am I tripping over nothing. Well, you don't. You don't know why he don't want to do it. You want me to tell you why he don't want to do it? Because it is wide open sex life you got, and maybe it's just been a little too open for him. Now he didn't watch everybody with you, and he ain't fit to go in behind nobody. That don't make no sense to you. Wow, but see it. I don't know how you say. When I'm sitting him here watching all this open activity, you're doing threesomes and every Well, I ain't fit to be focile. Okay you draw the line, that's why.

Limbaugh announced he had lung cancer back in twenty eighteen. He passed away from lung cancer on Wednesday. He was seventy years old. Wow, Steve, Okay, Um, Tommy, Tommy here, I don't ask me, No, you needn saying that. I'm not saying I need Well, I'm with you, all right. Then we're moving on. How about that? How about that? Shall we? Uh, we'll talk about the NBA. How about that? Despite the pushback of some NBA players, We're moving on. We're moving on. The NBA All Star Game will take place in Atlanta on Sunday, March seventh. Atlanta Mayor Keisha Lant's Bottom has voiced her concerns about the event taking place in her city amid the COVID nineteen pandemic that is still widespread around the country. Mayor Bottoms released a statement which clearly expressed her thoughts on the event. She says, under normal circumstances, we would be extremely grateful for the opportunity to host the NBA All Star Game, but this is not a typical year. I have shared my concerns related to public health and safety with the NBA and Atlanta Hawks. We are in agreement that this is a made for TV event only and people should not travel to Atlanta to party. And so what do you guys think she's right? Yeah? Agree with her for sure. Yeah. I mean in Atlanta, though, people are going to be out. But first of all, for the safety of the players. If you bring in players from all over the country to a place that's kind of open, you know, I mean you just all the players. Lebron has come out and said he doesn't it doesn't make any sense. It doesn't make any sense. Look, the Pro the Pro Bowl was canceled this year. Yeah, NFL Honors wasn't shot in front of a live audience. I did that in an mpt AS stadium. All the sports are catering around this thing. The NBA missed it on this one. They did an excellent job with the playoffs in the bubble, but I think they missed it on the All Star Game here. I don't think it's scape and people traditionally flocked to the cities for the festivities that go around it. It's just gonna be a bunch of people in Atlanta for no reason. They're gonna be throwing. They're gonna be throwing All Star parties, yeah, yeah, yeah, and all those are super spreaders. Yeah, and they usually have President's Day weekend. You didn't even have it then, so just cancel it. Don't make no sense. Many they had the Super Bowl, so you know, hey, the only way it would make sense if they would go back to Orlando and have the All Star Game in the bubble, same way they had the playoffs. The super Bowl wasn't like that. Fans went to that game. Well, but super Bowl is outside and you can spread their ass way out seven. It's too late to change it now. If you put me in an arena and six people got COVID, I don't want in the arena. All right, let's go, Steve. Time to check in with ladies and gentlemen. Miss Anne trip and here we go. Good morning everyone. This is a trip with the news in the Midwest and deep South still in the thick of it weatherwise. Overall, millions remained after out of power from Texas to Mississippi and from the Florida Panhandles to the Carolinas. The weather is now blamed for at least twenty six deaths, including three people who died as a result of carbon monoxide poisoning. Authorities say one person was killed just outside Cleveland when a snowplow hit his vehicle. In Texas, snow and below freezing temperatures have millions of Texans out of power and now also dealing with water shortages and boil water orders. In fact, Tyler's city official Luanne Campbell says, it's come down to taking care of yourself and your neighbors. If you can, you have water and somebody else's power, share those resources because they need them. Further up the map, Chicago dealing with near record amounts of snow with subzero temperatures causing burst heating it pipes and water pipes, even some collapsed roofs. There have been nine straight days of snow. They're still trying to shovel it out, tying the record in the Windy City with eighteen inches of the white stuff having fallen since Sunday. That's right. The weather is the big story, and everybody's still in the thick of it. The ACP has filed the federal lawsuit against Donald Trump for allegedly conspiring with his lawyer and white extremist groups to try and prevent the US Senate from certifying the results the presidential election that he lost, and the legendary civil rights organization is suing under a provision of the klu Klux Klan Act of eighteen seventy one, basically that prohibits violence or intimidation meant to prevent the Congress or any other federal officials from carrying out their constitutional duties. The case also named Rudy Giuliani and racist groups like the Oast Keepers and the Proud Boys, which have members charged with taking part in January's attempted Capitol Hill siege. Longtime right wing radio talk show host Rusi Limbau died yesterday after losing a long battle against lung cancer. Limba was an unabashed conservative who combined right wing politics with entertainment. In fact, he spoke for a lot of extremists who were horrified by the election of the nation's first black president. I disagree fervently with the people on our side of the eye who say, I hope he succeeds. We've got to give him a chance. I don't want this to work. I hope he fails. Well, Barack Obama, course didn't fail. He was reelected in tw he told by an even bigger marjor and Rush. Limbaugh was seventy years old.

It is the Strawberry Letter. All right, thank you, nephew. We've been waiting for this one. Subject. My brother's mistress is my girlfriend, Dear Stephen Shirley. I'm a forty two year old single man, and I have a good job and my own place. My brother is a married man with three children and many mistresses. He always brings his mistresses to gatherings with the boys, and I told him that's probably not a good idea because most of them are bad and the boys try to holler at them. I talked to him many times about the cheating, because he's always using me as his alibi. Two months ago, I was out with my brother and one of his miss stresses was there. She was six feet tall, with an all natural looking big booty, flat stomach, juicy chest, and pearly white teeth. She didn't have a makeup or lashes, and it was like love at first sight for me. I spent the whole night getting to know her, and my brother didn't seem to care. After a few drinks, she asked me if my brother is married. I told her the truth. She confessed about spending a weekend with him out of town and said she's only dealing with him because he's paying for some car repairs for her. I got her number and we went to dinner and she came back to my place, but nothing happened. We've been inseparable for the past month, and whenever my brother calls her, she rushes him off the phone. I asked her why she's still dealing with him, and she said it's just until her car is fixed. I offered to give her half the money, but she declined it and said it's the least he can do. I'm fused as to why she still talks to him and she's willing to take his money. If something's going on, she needs to be honest. My brother will find out and due time. But I need to be sure she's not playing both of us. What do you think is really going on with this woman? Well? I do think she's playing both of you. I mean, why not your brother, because you know, I'm sure the sex is good and the excitement of it all. I don't think the money is that big of a factor because it can't be. I mean, he's just paying for her car repairs. It's not like it's a brand new car or anything. And really, how long how long does it take to get your car repairs? Seems like her car has been repaired for a long long time. Here all right, And as far as you go, she knows you like her. She knew you liked her from the first moment you guys met so and she knows she can have you too. So why not. I mean, I think it's double standard with men and women, of course I know that, but don't judge her too harshly because you're wrong too. You're wrong. You're going behind your brother's back and seeing his side piece. Come on, now, I know you said your brother's married and didn't mind that you talked to her all night when you first met her, But most men are pretty very territorial, and I just can't see him being happy when he finds out about you getting with his mistress. It just doesn't make sense. I mean, I know you said he has a lot of mistresses and all of that, but if he finds out you're with her, this can't be end up pretty. So you need to figure that part out. And here's a question. Is she worth as six feet tall, big booty, flat stomach, pearly white teeth woman. Is she worth causing problems in you and your brother's relationship? I say no. I mean, I say no. I say no. There are too many beautiful women in the world. Go get one of them. Leave your brother's mistress alone. Steve, Wow, Oh, surely that's not the answer I have. It's a lot in this letter. You're right on several levels here, but not being a man, I understand, but I'm gonna look at this from another angle because the blame lies in a few places. Yeah, ok so let's start there. My boyfriend's mistress is my girlfriend. Not. Here's a problem with that statement. If the brother, I'm sorry. If your brother's mistress is your girlfriend, then let me start right here. I'm afforded to year old single man. Okay, got a good job in your own place. Why are you single? Throwing me a little bit with Okay, you all that you know you ain't gonna business being. My brother is a married man with three children and many mistresses. This is the key to this whole thing, Shelley. Many mistresses, and he brings them to all the gatherings with y'all boys. And you told him it probably ain't a good idea because most of them is bad. I'm talking de some fine girl and your boys try to hol at him. Now. You didn't talk to him about the cheating because he keep using you as alibody. And two months ago you was out with your brother. One of his mistresses was there. Y'all. Old, y'all go out a lot, y'all need to stay your ass home for starters. Are they some years old? Always out. She's six feet tall, all natural booty, flat stomach, juicy chests, pearly white teeth. Okay, I got you, I got y'all know that love at first sight for most people. She find him. Thank you got it. So when we come back, I'm gonna tell you what got you, and then I'm gonna tell you a few other things. All right, we'll have part two of Steve's responds coming up for twenty three minutes after the hour. My brother's mistress is my girlfriend? Is a subject back after this. You're listening, all right, Steve, come on, let's recap today's strawberry letter. We love this subject. My brother's mistress is my girlfriend. Let's go all right. We got this forty two year old man that's single, he got a brother that's married with three kids, and he got a lot of mistresses, which is gonna be the key to this whole thing. And he always brings his mistresses to the gathering with the boys. See, he's an exhibitionist. He like everybody know, he's still a gutted showing out you' you ain't really supposed to do that at all, but you know, he want to show he's still got it. He's swinging with the fellas. He know they'd be gawking at him and everything because the CHICKSI bringing around is bad. You told him it ain't a good idea because the boys try to haul at him, and you don't talk to him about the cheating, cause he always used as an alibi. All right. So one night you go out with your brother and one of his side pieces was there, one of his many mistresses. But this one caught your eye. She had all natural, big booty, six feet tall, flat stomach, juicy chest, pearly white teeth. She didn't have on, no makeup or lashes, and for you, it was love at first sight. Okay, I got you. I got you. That you, Jessica Rabbit was at the damn party and you saw her. I got you, all right. I spent the whole night getting to know her, and my brother didn't seem to care. Well, let's cause your brother was out trying to get a few more mistresses. That's what he went out for. Yeah, he wasn't exactly counting on her to be there. So if he didn't care that you was talking to her, he making moves. He moving around the club, that's what he'd do. Now. After a few drinks, she asked you if your brother was married. What she asked you? Your brother married? You told her the truth. She already knew this dog, because number one, why don't she get upset? What he's married? What? None of that? All she did was confirmed me with you, and what no get upset? She confessed after spending the week Now, why would she tell you this part? You know, if she found out your brother was married and didn't get upset, and then she told you she confessed about spending the weekend with him out of town, and she said she's only dealing with him because he's paying for some car repass for her. So then you got a number, and y'all went to dinner and she came back to my place. Nothing happened. We've been inseparable for the past month. And whatever my brother calls, she rushed him off the phone. I asked her why she's still dealing with him, and she said, it's just until her car's fixed. Now, surely asked the question, why is it taking so damn long to get this damn car fixed? And I figured it out. Shelly it's called she got four five calls, a lot of cars. Yeah, she needs all of them fixed. Yeah, she know it's time for tuning up. You know, she's been a mistress before. That's how she got all them calls. And so she got several calls, and he gotta get fixed all of them this week, was tuned up for one of them. Got to get in for a service check next week. Then she got to get the other one. Then all change, you know. Then otherm gotta get their ties rotated. They're gonna take them off, get all these cars fixed. Plus he gotta he gotta work this money out because he gotta piece meal a lot of money because he got three kids back in the house. He ain't rich. So yeah, she got a fleet. So now, and so I offered to give her half the money, but she declined and said it to lead. He can do well if a man is still paying. The only reason a married man is still paying is because he's still playing. Yes, So now you and your girl that's been unseparable, is still dealing with him. You don't just get the money off of Hey, how you doing link Uh no, No, So she's still dealing with your brother. But when you're over there. She rushed him off the phone. I'm confused as to why she still talks and is willing to take his money because she got to keep servicing him to get the money. Bro, what's wrong with you? Same reason you offer to pay half, you're willing to pay half? Why because the natchal booty and the juicy chests and the pearly white flash stomach six feet tall got you digging in your pocket? Don't give it down? And if she put that makeup lashes on? Who? Who? What? We're dealing with him? So now she wouldn't take it? If something going on? She needs honest, honest dog? What are you asking for you? This chick has no morals. She's dating a married man that she knows is married. You confirmed it. She didn't get upset. She's still talking to the married man because of money, and now she talking to you because you didn't offer money. She needs to be honest? But how are you stupid? Are you just what you want? Player? My brother will find out in due time, okay, but I need to be sure she's not playing both of us, she or one of y'all. Boy, that don't make you no damn difference, y'all been a separable and you know that man and she got two suckers on the hook. And is you and your brother now? If you think Chief going to be true to you, go ahead take a shot, as long as your brothers fixing them calls. All right, listen, Thank you.

And that reason was not good enough for Candy because all of the majority of the women in this particular group, this particular season, they all have babies. They all have young babies, young infant, toddlered little girls, and so they feel like, well, we left for our babies to come on this trip that you're hosting, but then you diss us one night to go be, you know, with you with your baby son. Candy, she tried to talk to Kenya, and Kenya broke down and she admitted that she's really having a hard time holding it all together, you know, Shirley dealing with a divorce from her husband Mark. Oh yeah, yeah. So Kenya asked, you're right, yes, yes, So she admitted to that. So she asked Candy and the new friend to the show, LaToya, to take over the hosting duties, if you will, of the trip. So, uh, during this episode, you know Porsche, during this particular season, you got to see Porsche, she you know, being involved and and marching for justice for Brianna Taylor. They showed Porsche doing that. So they got to watch the actual news footage of the grand jury verdict of you remember when that happened. How disappointed that we were no justice, and so you got to see Porsche talk about that. She was hurt, she was upset, you know, Porscha was arrested. She stood firm and marching with the family, and the lady's just talked about, you know, the lack of justice for Brianna Taylor being black women in this country. So it was it was a deep moment. But then later on the ladies went to dinner and Drew the new cast made up the show. She tried to talk to Kenya and tell her about the mood of the trip and how it's negative and she doesn't understand how y'all just be beef in one minute, y'all cool the next She's like she's trying to figure all that off, Kenya went off again after dinner. It's like, what's going on? So next week, get ready Cynthia's surprise bachelorette party hosted by Candy. Oh you know what's going you know, come on if it's a surprise, how y'all already know?

Right after this, you're listening to the Steve Harvey Morning Show. All right, here we go, time for the CLO Chief Love Officer Steve Harvey in the building let's go. Marcus in Atlantic City says, recently, my fiance lost a lot of weight, so she looks great, but she has a flat butt. Her sister had weight loss surgery and got a Brazilian butt lift, so my girl wants one. Two. Her sister was at our house and my fiance encouraged me to look at her butt and feel it. I guess I got carried away and squeezed, did a little too much. My fiance got mad and accused me of one to sleep with her sister. It's just a butt, and she told me to feel on it. But the butt was plus, she soft, but I didn't want her. How can I fix this? I don't want her? Well, you could stop lying about that, Marcus. What want you? Grab? You want it? All that grabbed and stuff? Yeah, you followed instruction, but it was But see what happen, Marcus was you probably didn't realize it, but when you did it, you bait your bottom, lilp. That's what got you in trouble. When you sucked in your bottom, lilp. He made a noise. Oh I would have Yeah, he did this, This is what he did right here, we're there. Yeah, that breathing that's what cost you. That's all it is. Mark. I can't help you, though, shouldn't ask your woman wants you to grab nothing better than that? Now? And when is that? Chante and Gary, we're moving on, says My mother and I have always had the worst relationship, and now that I'm older, I can't stand her. She's been on drugs for most of my life and the embarrassment the lives and stealing from me has me bitter. She's been clean for six years and I've helped her out whenever I can. She got saved and she's the very best Christian ever. She quotes scripture all day and tells me I'm going to hell every five seconds. How can I be there for her and work on our relationship without cursing her out? Well, you don't have to cuss out. But since she's the best Christian ever, why don't you remind her of a couple of things. There's some scriptures that if she's such a great and wants to quote some scriptures you know about not judging he who is without seeing cast the first stone, you know, forgiveness, understanding, you know how you don't you don't guide people into light by blowing out what little candle they got. So now your mama and got it together. Now everybody else hail bound. Has she forgotten? But see, that's the problem with a lot of people who become Christians, not all, but some They get saved and all of a sudden they forget that they wasn't saved. Yeah, right, and other people do. And the only way to win people over and convert people as Christian it's just let your light shine. They can see the Jesus in you. Yeah, and you ain't got to tell nobody you're doing better. They can see it. You've been a junkie, your whole damn life coming up. It is our last break of the day, and of course Steve Harvey will have some closing remarks at forty nine minutes after right after this. You're listening, all right, guys. Here we are last break of the day on this Thursday. Um. Praying for everyone that's affected by the winner storm, the heavy snowfall, the icy power outages and water shut off. Be safe. Yeah, I think I feel like Trump is behind this whole weather thing. How come I feel like this is his fault too, I really do. I think he has something to do with that too. The governor of Texas leadership ineffective leadership is for sure, that's for sure. Wasn't there people in a Texas town that said only the strong survive? And he was tweeting out all this stuff, Um, Colorado City, Colorado. Yeah, he resigned. Yeah. I was like, Okay, that's not encouraging, hopeful. These people are without power, and that's what you have to say to them, Only the strong survived. And a boy, oil, horrible, horrific what he said. It's just horrible to say that. I don't. I don't, I don't. I didn't hear what he said. One of the things he said was only the strong survive. Doing this mess that we got, doing this whole weather situation to residence. Yeah, he called them lazy, saying they were looking for handouts. What are you talking about? People need power in electricity? Oh oh oh, that's those are the words of a man with a generator. Yeah, he said, he's perfectly tired of people looking for a handout. Um, no one owes you or your family anything, nor is it the local government government's responsibility to support you during trying times like this. Sink or swim, it's your choice. What see but right there? Yeah, God, but as he should. And yeah, that's you know, the Republican mantra is every American should pull him up by their bootstraps. But that when you take it that far, he's going pad goal. You know what I mean. It's just people, man, who say stuff out loud. That's totally inconsiderate. Losing powers nobody's fault. The cold weather. It's hard to deal with. I don't care if you hercules. You can be a WWFF wrestler or NBA star. If you get hit with this cold weather that has struck Texas and you are without a power, you are in a situation children don't don't can't deal with stuff like this, you know, Steve, it's already hard being poor. Yeah. Yeah. If you don't have electricity, you step up and come up with a game plan to keep your family warm and safe. If you're having no water, you deal with out and think outside of the box to survive and supply water to your family. If you were sitting at home in the cold because you have no power and are sitting there waiting for someone to come rescue you because you're lazy, is a direct result of your raising that was that nothing you can do. That's what he said. That's nothing a class of people who lost their power in electricity, that water and power. It has nothing to do with that. It's that it was trying to privatize. And see but what you're just saying right there, caller, what you just saying ineffective leadership. Him in a leadership role saying stuff like this. See this is this is an example of what happened when people get in power who have never served people before, who has no clue what it's like to serve people, to have a heart for what other people are going through. And the only way to have a heart for what other people are going through is involve yourself with people who offer didn't go through store. That gives you the empathy that's necessary to become a great leader. That's what's the whole problem with Trump. He's never had a rough day in his life. His roughest day was filing bankruptcy. Do you know what that means? You had something to file for. Poor people can't file bankruptcy. They have nothing to file for. And so you in a leadership or capacity where you are in a governing position of people who are people who need help sometimes. And it's not that people are lazy and wouldn't pull themselves up, but their bootstraps. The problem is if your boots ain't got no straps, you have a problem with getting gripped. And then your other problem is when you ain't got the boots and if my boots are in four feet us to know who there is nothing I can do. I'm sorry, but it's people like that go ahead. You know what it is to see when we talked about before when Trump, when we was dealing with COVID and we were just talking about leadership and leaders being honest with people. And every time leaders are not honest, the truth comes out later in disasters and things like that. So for the whole thing in Texas, what has happened is the leadership was not honest with the residents of the state of Texas. They did not prepare these power plants for this type of storm because it doesn't happen in Texas that often. So when it doesn't happen, you kind of make these residents think where we're good or everything that's going on. Then when everything shuts down, everybody's like, well, what's going on? We've had snowstorters, moorfire. Yes, we've had snowstorms in the state of Texas before El Paso two thousand and eleven, same thing, same thing. So you didn't learn from your mistakes because you didn't care. You didn't care. They only care about making money. That's it. That's right. They don't care about helping people. That's part of their mantra. It is not to help. That's why, that's why. That's why Biden right now is struggling to get this big stimulus package passed because he can't get the Republicans to go along with it because they think it's too much money. But it's too much, but the leadership doesn't want to spend that much money, but the people need it. A part of this package is to help small businesses. Yes, yeah, yeah, he's got he's got a mess on his hands. He really really does. All right, Steve, we gotta get out of here.
