Come come on, uh, I sure will. Good mording 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 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. I just can't do what you wanna 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 you better? I know you can, you know, saying and 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 that 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. So it's 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 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 who who want to be the best you can be? You know, people people kill me when they're getting mad at at people here and he Brown knows and he all up on the employee of the month man, the dude doing his job to the best of his ability, and he getting recognized for it. What that got to do with all that you're talking about? Cause 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, is when hard work bumps up into opportunity, When hard work run smack dab up in the opportunity. Some people call that luck. But hold on, let's let's think about this. If you wasn't working hard, an opportunity presented itself, what would you call that? What you call that a missed opportunity? What you call that wrong place at the wrong time, or you missed out on that? But see, when you've been working hard, an opportunity presents itself and it bumps up into each other. Now people want to call that luck, But hold up, here go the part though the 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. Look, I know I use the same ones all all the time, but them the ones I know. I mean what you want me to, You want me lie to, you want me come on here and tell you man, I've and studying the Bible. I haven't. I haven't. I haven't, I haven't. But my mom 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? Good? 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. We'll see. Go ahead, though, do what you wanna do. But you know what, y'all here, here's the best advice I can give you. This is what I really came to talk about this morning, but I got side track because I listened. You know what, get get out of your own way. So many of us are blocking our home blessings. We're just in our 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 this is the way it's got to go. Do you know how many people are blocking their blessing? Do you know how long I blocked mine? With that mindset right there? This is how I wanted to happen, This is how I wanted to go down. This is the way I'm gonna go about it, And this this what's gonna happen, lock loaded fire. So I was dead set on doing it my way. Have you ever talked to people, man, well, it's just the way I do it. Look, because it's the way you do it, you think that makes it the right way. You think jazz, because you'd have 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 gonna 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 what does that mean? That means see set your goals, That means have your dreams. That's I'm 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 do 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 him say that I didn't I didn't get it, and 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 it took me a bunch of years to get it too. But when I 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 want to be to 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 was gonna happen. In mind. Now, I don't mean it can't happen because I'm open to it. But it amazes me when people come up to me. Man, the Lord wanted me to tell you this. Hold on, man, I talk to him every day, every day, some days more than others. I ain't perfect. I missed sometimes, but I'm on a daily basis talking to him. So really, man, I'm I'm and I and and and please know I'm listening as well as I've ever listened before. But but get yourself together though, see no, your goals and your dreams, and then let God show you how to do it. He'll do it. See see you know how you let him lead you. Listen, Listen, that's all you got to do. If you're talking to God and you're asking him for help, listen. But don't go with the first thing that happened. Pay attention, because here's one way you know it ain't him. If it's some sin in it, it ain't him. It ain't him. I don't care. Go down there and tell them this right here, and then dellustrating them out that ain't him talking to you. That's not him. You know, it's it's it's it's it's, it's, it's it's um. It's so important, man, 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 gotta go down there and make no big scene and 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 there. You ain't gotta 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 everybody 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, then you don't turn a somersault, and you ain't saved, and you ain't swer what did you do? What tongue did you speak? Hey? Man, you better go have a relationship with God. See what that's about. You understand a little body throw you off with all that? All right? All right, y'all talk to him a little to hear from you today. You're listening alright, I got eighteen eighteen minutes after the hour. Welcome to the ride, y'all. Steve Harvey Morning Show.

Okay, this is and trip with the news. Here we go with the bad stuff. Three judge panel of the Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals heard pro and con arguments yesterday by telephone about a Seattle judges ruling that halted the Trump administration's ban on immigrants and refugees from mostly Muslim countries. The lawyers for the president made their case first, and then Washington's state solicitor argued in favor of the judges injunctions. Judgment was well within the president's power as delegated to him by Congress, and it is constitutional, as the court in Boston and Hallam recently held, it has always been the judicial branch's role to say what the law is, and the serve as the check on abuses by the executive branch. That judicial role has never been more important in recent memory than it is today. Of course, executive branch is the president A so far no decision on the matter from the nice Circuit court. That decision may be handed down today. By the way, the president's choice, all of my friends parents, Mohammed Mohammed and Oliver Mohammed, don't go nowhere. Thank you. Not come back in here.

I am a forty five year old single man, and recently my mama's sixty five year old best friend asked me to come by her house to do some handiwork. Well, after doing some yardwork, she asked me to come inside to get some water and take a break. I noticed she was in her bathrobe. She said she was about to take a shower and I could join her if I wanted to. I was in a slump, so I went for it. Tommy. Mind you, she maybe sixty, but she is fine as heck, and I've always had a crush on her. She put it on me like I ain't never had it put on me before. It's been two months now, and I think I'm in love with her. Here's the problem. Now, she wants to tell my mama that we've been messing around what should I do? My mama will kill me? Okay, your mother will kill you at forty five? Really? Uh wow? I mean I like the fact that you respect your mom's opinion and everything. But you are grown. You're forty five years old, which means you could do whatever and whoever you want to do. I mean, if it's real, you gotta do that. Follow your heart. I mean, it's only been two months though, Okay, so let's slow this whole thing down. It's only two months. Why is she so eager to tell her business to your mom anyway? I don't know. Well, they're best friends. I mean, usually tell your best friend you know about your man and about your relationships and stuff like that. That this is a different set of circumstances here. I think she's way too grown to be telling, uh, your mom her business because I don't know. I mean, is your you said your mom will kill you, She's not gonna take it. Well, so I think it's too early, and uh, she doesn't need to tell. And you guys just need to see where this relationship is gonna go. Then if it goes somewhere, it then tells Steve. First of all, let's start at the bottom of the letter. Okay, now she wants to tell my mama that we've been messing around. What should I do when my mama will kill me? Your mama gonna kill huh. That's where the murder gonna come in. That. See, your mama has a friend. Her friend started sleeping with her son. Women always consider their children their babies throughout life. She gonna kill her friend because she already noticed story. You forty five years old. Recently your mama sixty five year old best friend and asked me to come by the house do some handy work. Why is that always to kill? How old people? House always broke? Come by and do some handy work. Well, after doing some yark work, she asked me to come inside for some water. Right that another poet statement? Why just are that you ain't got nothing else in here? And eliminade what we're in here for water and take a break nothing? She ain't made that. This is another poverty statement. I noticed she was in her bathroom. She says, she's about to take a shower, and I could join her if I wanted to. Right there, he has to go. For those of you out there is wondering, but why did he go in there. He don't have no choice. He has to go. See when you invite a man to do something. Wait, you're saying he had to go to the shower, get in the shower. He had no choice. It's like a dawn. He could say no, he could showers like a down. It's an insult to our manhood. I'm no, you won't be in here. Oh you don't take a shower, or you're flattered. You think I ain't gonna get him in here and take this water with you. Let's oh, now he ran in there. She's sixty five, but she find this. Heck, I've always had a crush on her. She put it on me like I ain't ever had me on me before. Let me warn you something about older women. That's that old sixty five. A lot of times when you're loving on him, thank you, something special going on, But it's really in your head. Cause that liniment a woman got liniment on and lilliment. It takes you in a different place. It's ben gay all this is an African when its own. She got so nick and you just got all these different fragrances and and that liniment does something get you a little high? Yeah, if you ever just want to free high, go to drug store, just open and just smell. Its me refreshed. It's very ups asp for cream, Porto, Zone King all this stuff. Well, yeah, what's you smell that? It has an effect on that. Yeah, it's a luri. It's like it's like when you're at a spa and they like incense. They have incense at a spa, they have all and what's the what's the freakmance to be in the lavender? Lavender? Lavender is always in the steam, even in the man steam. I was in the man steam room recently and the guy came in there and set out naked with that lavender smell. I had to get up, walk out. You don't want that wait one more time because I just want to make sure we got this. So when a woman asked you to take a shower, you have to gotta go. Gotta go because it's almost a threat. You want a backwasher, You ain't man enough, Just like a threat. That's why most men end up cheating because it was like a dab what you're gonna You're gonna come only me a thing, ain't not gonna have. Your competitive nature takes over. Yeah, it's just a shower. You can shower at home and not say no nobody, nor to not say no excitement. It's a woo. Always have a choice. So okay, when you have been calmed. So I was just about to take a shower, would you like to join me? What you got? I'm just thinking, no, it would be good, right, yeah, it would. It probably be the best thing. But you can't as a man. You're not wired that way until you get old. I'm learning something carling you til you get the older. You don't know how to say that. I'm I'm married enough. You don't know where in the world. I'm gonna lose all God this day, hear me, because you won't take a bad getting everybody there. So you would say no, but right now I don't. But the younger Steve would be all up in there. I'm on my third name, Steve show All right, we're back. We're in the middle of this letter. Uh strawberry letters. Subject got turned out by a cougar. Turns out all they have to do is ask you to go in the shower and uh it. Yeah, you know, I try to help. My job has always been to help women out. I have been a champion for women. Ever since I ever since I could, I've had a mother, both my sisters was older. All I've known is how to treat women and h washing well. You don't go on the shower to get clean. Okay, stop asking your man to take these baths. And ain't nothing connected to the bath. We don't like taking baths without the promise of something connected to this bath. For starters, your bathwater is too hot, the ladies. If you're gonna draw bathwater and you can end up putting potatoes and carrots in it, it's not We don't want that. We have things that hurt when it touched hot water. And y'all have y'all water. So Margrey always baby, come on getting the back. But we got a big, big tub, you know, And I don't want to get in there because I don't look. You got celery in here. We got cats floating around at him. All we need is meat, and the meat can't beat me, my wife. Water be so all right. Chicken in the shower sometimes, Steve, I've got to have it harder, Okay, Now I can't stands attention. The strawberry and got turned out by Couger forty five year old single man whose mother's best friend invited him to take a shower. She's sixty five, he forty five. He says it's the best he's ever had. The problem they got now is she put it on him like he's never had it before. It's been two months now. He thinks he in love with her. But here's the problem. Now. She wants to tell her mama that we've been messing around. What should I do? My mama will kill me. First of all, your mama gonna kill huck. Let's get that out of the way, because once you start dating a woman's son, she mad at you. Now a lot of men. I think that this is gonna be wonderful because this woman can do some things to you that you've never had done before. But there's also the other side. While y'all loving on each other and everything, if you move into some things you gotta consider because there is a twenty year age difference. That's two generations. Y'all's music is different. You don't know who the hell Nack King Coley. You ain't Noboddy Holly concerts, How they hw they, how they hope, don't mean nothing to you.

She got an all peak card, y'all in the restaurant. She don't want to get a discount. You're sending up that playing full right, man. So as you get into this relationship, you gotta understand what is it doing. It's more than just y'all got to quit looking at the physicality of it.

Call everybody out there, this is a trip with the news and miss you. In Louisiana, emergency crews are still checking what's left of the Ninth Ward in New Orleans, which Governor John Bell Edwards says was pummeled yesterday by that wide and powerful tornado. It is amazing how that tornado operated. And it kind of bounced back and forth across the hallway. It didn't just pursue a straight line, and then it would jump over certain structures and land on others. But but the width of the devastation was unlike any that I have seen before. At last count that some forty people reported hurt, but so far no deaths report, at least not yet. However, I thought you say many people came home from work yesterday to find their homes just torn apart. A three judge panel Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals heard pro and con arguments by phone yesterday about that Seattle judge is ruling that to halts the Trump administration's ban on immigrants and refugees. So far, no decision on the matter has been made. We're expecting perhaps before the end of the week. President Trump's choice with Secretary of Education was confirmed yesterday, but Betsy Divoce was only okay after the Vice President, Mike Pence, cast a tie breaking vote.

His fans swelled along Super Bowl Parade route in Boston yesterday for the New England Patriots.

Yeah, he did bring that sucker home. By the way, take a Cheeto's break with Chetos. Yeah, believe it or not, somebody has been one hundred thousand dollars on eBay for a Cheeto. Apparently, this particular Cheeto looks like the gorilla Harambe, who was you know killing Remember of the inattentive couple let their child into the cave and even though the child was removed safe, that they killed poor Harambe. Anyway, and I need to tell you about some ten thousand people voted for Harambe in this last election. Okay, go figure. But anyway, all I know is I love Cheetos much much chet shaped like Harambee, the gorilla they got shot. And somebody has paid a hundred thousand dollars for that Cheeto. That's crazy.
