Y'all know what time of y'all don't know y'all back I don't have a suit on looking back to back down, giving them move like theming buck bus things. And it's cost me true good it, Steve, listen to move to coether for steam bar handy, I don't join join me to be doing me. Have you gotta turn huring in the moment, you gotta turn to turn them out, got to turn out the water the water. Come come on your baby at it. I shall will a good morning everybody. You're listening to the voice, Come on, dig me now, one and only Steve Harvey, I got a radio show him 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 effin and if it don't work, well okay. But if you make up in your mind that I'm going to do something, then trying isn't enough. It's getting it done is the only thing that matters. Sin 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 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 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 there and he Brown knows and he hall up on an employee of the moment 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. There's an 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, When hard work runs 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 and the opportunity presents itself and it bumps up into each other. Now people want to call that luck. But hold up here, go to 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 the time, but them the ones I know. I mean what you want me to, You want me lie to, You want me to come on here and tell you man, I've been studying the Bible. I haven't. I haven't. I haven't, I haven't. 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 it, kuss 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, 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 listen, you know what, get get out of your own way. So many of us are blocking our own blessings. Were 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 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? This is how I wanted to happen, This is how I wanted to go down. This the way I'm gonna go about it, And 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 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 that 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 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'd like to have, What is it you'd 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, 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 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 and and please know I'm listening it as well as I've ever listened before. But but get yourself together, though, see no your goals in your dream 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 anybody else tell you high's 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 and 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 loved to hear from you. Today. You're listening to show ladies and gentlemen, Steve Harvey Morning shows on Alive, Open and Well.

And oh, dude, obviously there's a communication breakdown between you and me, player because I didn't order that, and right, but I have the But what the problem I'm having is that you're telling me I'll have the right address. You know the name of the person Kendred, which is your wife. Right, yeah, yeah, so far so good man. But as far as me ordering that, dude, I'm not. I'm not. I'm not accepting it because I didn't pay for it. I did not mean. I mean, it's already it's already paid. Let me let me just look at the name here on the h here it is here is right here. Okay, we got Devin. Who would you to say, I've said, Devin, that's that's who made the purchase. Oh no, no, no, no, okay, that's my wife's ex husband. So eithern you and him or in cahoots with each other to do this and and try to upset me. But guess what you succeeded. All right, So I'm gonna make this as I listen to you, so you listen to me.

Those roses, those storms, I'm gonna put them somewhere so far up your rear end that the only way that they see sunshine is when you open your mouth. So do not, I repeat, do not.

Y'all gonna do what you need to do. Not show up at my trib tomorrow because it ain't gonna be a happy Valentine's Day for nobody involved. That's what I'm okay. But here's the deal. As a deliberate person, I am obligated to make the drive. I have to make this job or then I don't get it. You know, I get chewed out that I didn't do my job, because that's something, okay, So what would what would you rather be chewed out or half towards up your rear end? Since you let's hold down.

Do every Okay, you can drop them off at the curve, then you get credit for and whoever walked past and up and down the street, they can pick it up. But do not come to my front door and ring my doorbell asking me to sign and accept nothing. And it ain't have to drop them off at the door, sir, dude, I'm telling you now, I gotta drop him off at the door. The problem I'm having is you telling me you're gonna stick some flowers up like now we got a problem. Just listening to this whole scenario, I'm just curious. Is it possible that maybe Devin does something for her that you don't do? Hey? Man, you what? What's where are you going at? Was this all I'm telling you is demanding your business and don't make this drop? Why am I doing that? Devin? I'm sure I'm just that. Why am I don't do this stuff that Devin has purchased for her? And why you need to ask Devin? Because Steven show his faith up over here you can take it home and give it to your girl if you want to. I'm not giving my girl or anything that I didn't buy far. I'm not doing that you think. So if you if you're not gonna get your girl or anything that you didn't buy far, why am I going to accept something for my girl that I didn't buy far? I ain't A'm telling you that you gotta accept this at all. I'm saying, how do you have to make relate if you bring my hounds? I got accepted, and I'm telling you now, don't he bread to my house? Maybe maybe mister Devin know what she looks. She looks like obviously she him no more. She most of the flower delivery person, just like he heard that husbin. I'm whooping. That's all I got to say. Two words. But you're bringing some whooping, so you might as well come on now so you can go home after you get this whooping. Okay, okay, okay, let me let me say this.

Coming up at the top of the hour, entertainment news, Jesse Smalllett opens up about his attack two weeks ago and the NAACP image award nominations are here. We'll get into it right after this you're listening to show. Jesse Smallette opened up to GMA's Robert Roberts and told his story about his alleged racist and homophobic attack, which occurred in Chicago a couple of weeks ago. Small Lett gave a very detailed description of what happened. He also answered a lot of the questions that critics and doubters have had about his story. Smalllette says is disappointing that his attack wasn't captured on video. Take a listen. I went down to where it happened and I walked them through exactly what happened. And I looked up that I saw that there was a camera directly on the light post that is in the intersection, so I'm like, there it is. And then the deta to told me that the camera inside of the casing was facing north, so they didn't have it, and that was disappointing. Yeah. Jesse also said that he gave police a description of their body type and believes that the guy who said one hundred percent that the two men and the surveillance photo released by police are the attackers. Now, according to Yeah, he said that. Now he was that that's them, he said that. Now. According to TMZ, the Chicago police raided the home of the persons of interest and seized two laptops, five bottles of bleach, a red hat. Both of the men were reported to be extras on the set of Empire. Also yeah, also, multiple sources have told Chicago ABC seven Eye Witnessed News that police are investigating whether Jesse Smalette and the two men staged the attack. Now, that was the latest thing that came out, allegedly because Smallette was being written out of Empire. However, a Chicago police spokesman by the name of Anthony Googliemi says that there's no evidence to support that report from ABC seven I witness News in Chicago. I can tell you right now that really I don't only know how that would make sense. Yeah, that somebody with stage getting jumped on to save your role on a show, right because you thought you were getting written out. Yeah, but how does that make any sense? And he's such a prominent character, it just doesn't make me live. Yeah. But but Fox exex came out and said that's definitely not the case. They weren't planning on firing him or anything. Yeah, he's a core part of that show. Yeah he is. He is a major story liner. Yeah on the shows. Yeah, yeah, this case. Yeah yeah. And we'll keep you posted, of course as the news comes to us. Yeah.

Now it is time Steve for today's headlines. Ladies and gentlemen, miss Anne Shrip, thank you very much, Steve. Thanks everybody out there. Good morning, This is a trip with the news. Yes, it is now both the as Senate and the House of Representatives now that they have both ratified the new border wall compromise agreement. The President is expected to sign the measure into law later on today and stave off another government's shut down then, though, in order to get over the full amount that he wants for his campaign promised boarder wall. At ten o'clock this morning, President Trump is reportedly going to declare a national emergency so that he can simply take money already earmarked for other things like renovating the Army's Camp Le June stuff like that, and use that money. Democrats say, however, that using a declaration of national emergency just to get some money test the limits of the presidential's authority and how Speaker Nancy Pelosi says she might fill a legal challenge President that the President is setting here is something that should be met with great unease and dismay by the Republicans. And of course we will respond according when we review our options. And paulas Pelosi says that the president, if he does declare a national emergency just to use government as a piggy bank, that that would set a dangerous president, as you said, for the future of other commander in chiefs who could do something like that. Also, William Barr has been confirmed as a nation's new attorney general. Barr held the same position in the administration of hw Bush. Colin Kaepernick fans rejoice.

Michael Abanatti is the same lawyer who represented Stormy Daniels in that case.

They are also some disturbing references to the girl's age and their dynamic, including referring to her private parts as fourteen years old and her calling R. Kelly Daddy multiple times.

She is my free and strawberry shirty shibby shirty. Strawberry was his strawberry left. Did you say strawberry Shirley, Yeah, well you know who. It's just funny. I'm good, I'm good, I'm good. All right, subject can of cheater ever change? Here's Stephen Shirley. I've been in a relationship for nineteen years, but we are not married. I stayed in this relationship because I do really love my guy, and we have five kids together. Since day one, he has cheated on me, and I was young, so I let him get away with it and hopes that he would get it out of his system. While things got worse over the years, and now he has four outside kids with four other women. His family knew about the other children, but nobody ever told me about them until recently. He swears he has stopped the cheating, but he is still up to his childish games. And I heard he took another woman to his mom's around his family over the holidays. When I asked him about it, he told me that I don't have the right to question him about what he does when he's not with me. Wow. Then he blames his behavior on my wrong doings. Over the years. He found out that in the past I would talk to other guys on the phone whenever he and I were going through a bad spell. But I never cheated on him. He says that I'm not a cheater. He knows that I'm not a cheater, but he likes to throw that up in my face. I still want to marry this man so our children can have both of their parents in the home. I don't want to be with anyone else, and I have nothing left to give anyone new. Whenever I mention leaving him, he acts up and goes crazy, but he doesn't do anything to show me that he cares. Steve, this man is thirty seven years old now, so do you think he will ever change and get it together. I am willing to accept his other children and make it all work. Am I being foolish? I need your honest advice? Wow? The disrespect that is in this letter. I mean, you know, there's just you know, a couple of ways to look at this. One of the ways is the way you want things to be, you know, the way you imagine things to be. But this is not the relationship you're in. The relationship you're in is how things really are. You've been with a man for nineteen years, You're not married to this man. This man is cheated on you for nineteen years. You have four outside children this man does with four other women that you know about. And then the disrespect. He's just disrespecting you. His family knew about the other children. They disrespect you. He's taking the children and other women around his family. That's more disrespect. But you're still staying there nineteen years. You love this man. You wanted to work out so your children can have both the parents in the home. For what, he doesn't respect you. He even told you you don't even have a right to question him about what he does when he's not with you. What you've been with this man for nineteen years? Come on, come on, this is so crazy to me. I mean, this man is thirty seven years. Do you think he'll ever change? No, No, he's not gonna change. Why should he? Well, what's the incentive to change? When he can do whatever he wants to do with home, he wants to do it and still come back to you and you'll take him back. You're willing to accept his other children and make it all work. What incentive does he have to change and be a better man? You're certainly not giving it to him. I mean, really, this is a case of low self esteem here and all of that. I mean, we talk about that a lot on this show. You're allowing him to do it, and you have for nineteen years, So why change now, Steve. Great answer, Shirley, really really great answer. I feel the same way. The problem system as that. Look, I've been in a relationship for nineteen years, not married, so he's never planned on committing to you. You stayed in the relationship because you really do love this guy. We have five kids together since day one. He's cheated on me day one. He's cheated on you through the five kids. Now, I let him get away with it in hopes that he would get it out of his system. That ain't high man, get it out of his system. He get it out of his system. When you stop letting him get away with it, it further ingrains in his system. When you allow him to get away with it, you've accepted bad behavior from him, and since he knows you's accepted, he just continues to bad behavior. But you were young, you didn't know how to do it. So I'm not mad at I'm just telling you what happened. Well, things got worse over the years. Of course they got worse over the years because he's had no check and balance, ain't been no conselt, quinches of repercussions for none of his actions. Well, you've got worse over the years. And now he has four outside kids with four other women. Wait a minute, man, dude, you haven't made nine babies. No, no, no, huh no, four outside kids with four different women. Oh but you mean with his other with his five children he got fired with huh. He got four outside children with four other women. You haven't made nine babies with five women. Come on, dog, dog, what's what's wrong with you? What is wrong with you? And you? And you thirty seven years old and this day and age condom ain't never what? Man? You? You just an idiot? He's an idiot. Yeah. Now his family knew about the other children, but nobody ever told me about them until recently. Now he swears he stopped the cheating. What after nine kids? I mean, how much child supposed how much you making? Though he stopped the cheating, but he's still up to his childish games. Wait a minute. He swears he stopped the cheating, but he's stealing to his childish game. I already took another woman to his mom's house around his family over the holidays. Okay, this is woman number five. She gonna have a baby too, because that's what he do. He didn't have four other women, and four of them got kids. Man, it's something wrong with this dude. We come back. When I asked him about it, he told me I don't have the right to question him about what he does when he's not with me. Well, no, you can't question you, because when he ain't with you, he making babies. All right, Steve, we're gonna have part two of your response coming up at twenty three after the hours. Subject can a cheater ever change? We'll find out right after this you're listening show, Let's recap Steve Today's strawberry letters. Subject can a cheater ever change? This lady been with this man nineteen years. They never got married. He hadn't stayed in the relationship because she really loved the man, and they got five kids together. But since day one, he hadn't cheat it on him. You let him get away with it and hopes he get it out of his system. That ain't how we get it out of our system. We get stuff out of our system a lot quicker when there's consequences, checks and balance. Well, things got worse over the years. I knew it because he ain't got no checks into Now he's got four outside kids with four other women. It's fair. I'm knew about everything. Blah blah blah blah. He swears he stopped his cheating, but he's up to his childish games. I heard he took another woman over to his mama's house around the family and the holidays, And when I asked him about he told me, you don't have to right to question him when he would you do when he's not with you, you can't. You ain't got the question what he's doing. You already they walking around, they need Pampus, they need to ride to school, they need lunch money. You ain't got to question him about what he's doing. He got proof of what he doing. Now he got a fifth woman he didn't take over to the house. Told him, you ain't got the right the question. Then he blames with my behavior wrong doings over the years, said, you talked to other guys whenever you're always going through Bassville, but you never cheated on He knows I'm not a cheater. But he likes to throw that up in my face. Here is the kicker. I still want to marry this man so our children can have both their parents in the home. He's never home. And let me ask you something, little girl, because I really feel badly for you. What do you want to marry him for? Listen to me. The whole nineteen years has been horrible for you. Nineteen years, nine kids that you know about, five yours, four other kids by four different women. But you still want to marry him? Why so your children can have both parents in the home. He not at home no how, And I don't want to be with anyone else. I have nothing left to give anyone new. Whenever I mentioned leaving him, he acts up and go crazy. Okay, stop mentioning it. Yeah now, But he doesn't do anything to show me that he cares. He doesn't. The reason he doesn't show you that he cares is because he doesn't. This is a self senate, egotistical bad person, Steve. This man is thirty seven years old. Do you think we will ever change and get it together? No? Why should he listen to me? There's been no consequences if all these kids ain't got him to straighten up. Yet these nine babies that he really supposed to be paying for. If that ain't got him straightened up, I don't know what you can do. I'm willing to accept his other children and make it all work. Why you already got five in your own? Wait a minute, you're going to accept his other children? What about the other mothers? Is this for old people? They ain't just kids. These other people got money. These kids ain't all sitting around at the daycaret waiting on him and pick him up. It's for other women you got to bring into your life. And I'm willing to acceptance other chiefs to make it Am I being foolish? I think so? I don't think he's going to change. I need your as he when he told you he wasn't through cheating you. Right after that, your next sentence was, but he's up to his childish ways because he's a child. This man posedly grown a man. Keep acting like a child. You can be a little boy and become a father. Being a father don't make you a man. He's out there fathering children. He ain't a daddy. To know, anybody can be a father. It takes a real special man to be a dad, that's the answer. Can a cheatah ever change Yes, this one's not one of them, and she can't change him. He enjoys cheating, He enjoys unprotected sex. He must like kids. He got nine of them. He thirty seven years old. He got nine kids. Let me show you. So y'all been dating nineteen years? He thirty seven? How long? What was he twenty two? Like, eighteen, eighteen and nineteen Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, you're right. S So he was eighteen years old. He sported made a baby every other years of his adult life. Every other's year he's produced to child.

You got out moaning that he didn't. Probably bought an old school bus or something. I had room. Guys, Look, lady, your self esteem is is in the crapper. Like Shirley said, you've got to pick yourself up somehow. You need some prayer and some counseling, and you need to find yourself and find the good in you, because there's a lot of good and you could be miserable by yourself. You probably would be happier because you wouldn't have to worry about him, worried about somebody said something one time. Life is too short for me to be waiting on you to act, right, Yeah, Yeah, that's too bad that she's sitting around waiting on him. All right, please email us your Instagram.

You're listening. President Trump says he would feel a little phony if he had a dog. Okay. Lara Trump Uh recently encouraged her father in law to adopt a dog, and um, so you know he's said, yeah, I'm not really into dogs like that. I agree with him. Here's a person that don't really like taking care of people. So last thing he knew is damn dog. Yeah, that dog would be so missubmission. Yeah, yeah, it's not for real.

Yeah, it's too much going on anyway. They used to seeing the dog getting the White House. Yeah, I mean we are. Yeah, yeah right, we got no room, no dog in this White House. We got so many damn criminals up here. We didn't replace the dogs with inmates. Man, we got criminal charges. Manner for it, plead deal getting taken from him. He doesn't Trump Din told five thousand lines since he'd been in office. Well, these people like because they thought that we're gonna get pardoned and stuff, you know, so they didn't think about it. Now the yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah it is. Yeah, so no dog, huh nah, you still have your dog, Steve, you like dogs now, huh uh? You know we have dogs. I'm not I'm not really a dog person, but our dogs are really really well trained, so they're very, very tolerable. You know, I just wish, I just you know the thing about having a dog, it's a lot of responsibility. The vet bills is amazing. Yes, to use the bathroom, you still got to take him out, yeah, or else you got to walk him. Yeah. He cannot feed himself, so you got to feed him. Yes, responsibility. I got out. I'm tired. Man, I didn't I'd have raised my kids all. My kids can feed their cell work eat, they know how, they all what. Yeah, I don't need nothing, Carl. You still have your dog? Right, fancy fancy Yes, big bear, big dopmen walking around the house. Oh you do have your dogs? Yeah? Yeah, I've seen bad. Yeah, you a little bit, you a lot. Where was bad when we were at your house for your birthday? Oh thank god you had him put up? Yeah you put up? Thank god, because surely you don't like that. No, but you know what I'm I'm trying this year. I've made it a decision to try to like dogs, to try to get over my fear of dogs. Okay, sure I did. I did I'm you're scared of all dog little dogs. Yeah, yeah, I am, and I The thing about it is is that I like them, but I have some sort of unnatural fear, and um, they always sense it and they are always all over me. They love me. But I'm gonna try and get hypnotized or something to get rid of ittiz. Yeah, because you can get hypnotized. It's called fear of dogs. It is called cenophobia something like that. It's a phobiabia. But that they happened to you, Shirley, it's a little bit. I mean, you know, they were just loose. Dogs were all over our neighborhood. And you know, we lived in the third floor floor of our apartment building in Chicago. The second floor had a huge, gigantic, very mean, ambitious German shepherd who would get out and chase me. I never got bitten or anything like that, but it was very very close. Yeah. Yeah, dogs were all over the place. So yeah, I just I never had a good experience with them, but I like them and I want to get over it. So I'm gonna get hypnotized. I'll let you know when it happens. I don't know if my life Yeah, I don't know. If I don't, it'll make me get a dog. I don't know. I'll have to see. I have to see, because like Steve said, it's a big responsibility and su you do not need that, you don't think so No, No, you don't need to own the dogs. And you ain't even gott over being scared and sitting on the wall going down. She didn't win out of town and yeah, that's what I want to do. That. That's my biggest fear of touching them. What Junior, I hate you. What did you just so Nesto and the dog ain't eating both of them? Well the dog food, that's simple. Write you to scrip open a bag and pour it right, look anything for the dog that took anything. But I know, I don't know. I just want to get over it. I'm tired of being afraid. But you're gonna have to pat the dogs. Dogs need love and attention. You got him, Yeah all that, But I mean that's part of I would think that would be part of the process. That would be part of the process to learn how to touch them and love them and you know, people cuddle with them. Yeah. See, you don't need to own a dog. To do that because if it don't work out for you, now, you didn't bought this damn dog. Now he just over there in the cage. Oh, he and maximum security. I wouldn't put him in one hour a day for your exercise. I wouldn't put him in a cage. Or you have to fine, you have to put your dog. I know people that don't put dogs in cages. Our dog has He stays in the room at night. Oh okay, yeah, yeah, just in a little bit, he's gonna be roaming the house. And now, what do you mean in a little bit. You know, you've got to get a little bit older. Oh when he gets told. Yeah, that's what. He's a great dog. Now do you kiss your dog and all that? I know people kissing my dog? Did not put him out nowhere near me. I don't let him nick my hand, your ass, kiss my dog. I hugged my dog. Hua, Yeah, I hold my dog and everything. Does your dog sleep in the so it's a little bitty dog. I don't have a big dog like Sea does. Does your dog sleep in the bed with you? No? Oh, Steve, I wish he's not. He's not allowed in the bedroom. Our dog is trained not to get on any furniture. Oh okay, no, don't put your paws up on it. He's trained. Huh you're a dog man, yeah, uh, Caesar. What's the guy for the dog? The dog Seeson Milan. He came to the house to train him one day. We ended up using another trainer, but season Milan told us the biggest mistake that pet owners make dog owners is they try to treat them like they're human. Yeah. Yeah, they say that dogs really enjoy being dogs. They want to be a dog. That's what they are. Naturally, that makes sense. They like discipline, they like because they like him, please masters. So okay, well, thank you for saying that. That makes me feel better. All right, coming up more of the Steve Harvey Morning Show right after this. You're listening to all right, guys. The last two weeks have been a rollercoaster ride for twenty one Savage and his team. Now ICE has dropped one charge against him, but he's not in the clear yet just yet. BuzzFeed News reports that government attorneys dropped an aggravated felony charge on Tuesday as grounds to deport the Atlanta rapper. It's been confirmed that twenty one Savage does not have a felony on his record, as a prior conviction was sealed. Now, immigration officials will make the case to kick twenty one out on the basis of the travel visa he overstayed over a decade ago. After bonding out on Wednesday twenty one, Savage is awaiting a deportation hearing and uh, while, guys, this is apparently in line with President Trump's new policy, which is to deport anyone in the process of applying for citizenship and let them back when and if that that application is approved. So there you go, Steve, Well, why not, Yeah, really, I don't. I don't talk about what deporting this kid does. He's making it. He's a productive citizen over here, Yeah, or any of the DOCCA people. You know, you know, it's so many. It's just you're talking about the president whose wife were talking about that. Yeah, yeah, we're talking about the same president who's great great grandfather probably came over on the boat of some care about his current wife. Oh yeah, matter of fact, his last two Yeah, I work visas expiring, We talked, we talked about that same and you know, the story finally came out about all illegal immigrants that work at his call. Yes, yes, y yeah, I've been saying that, yes you have, yes you have, Yes you have. He's like, don't look at them. We ain't talking about them. Well, we'll keep you posted on this story. Um. And yesterday, of course, was Valentine's Day, and boy, did you guys see Kim Kardashian's Valentine's Day was unforgettable courtesy of her ball or hubby. His name is Kanye West. I don't see it? What do you do? And the legendary Kenny G. Okay, he was. They were in a room he hired to play his saxophone. Okay, in a room with a lot of vases, glass vases with one rose each covering the floor of this room. Kenney G couldn't even move, Steve. It was just roses everywhere, Kenny G playing in the middle of the room. I mean just beautiful. It was beautiful, beautiful. Yeah, it was yea and Kenny G was serenading Kim of course it was real. Yeah, just in their living room, I mean really just roses. Yes, yes, she loved every minute of it. And how how could you not? I mean, you know, Kanye, this was really romantic. Of him. He just decorated the room with the just beautiful, beautiful roses just filled the room. It was so pretty. Yeah. Yeah, she's given it up for her man too. This was an over the top surprise for her, handing him the Best Husband Award for what she says is one of Kanye's most thoughtful gifts ever. Yes, and very romantic. Nice way to go, yea. Yeah. I was a little concerned for Kenny G. I was like, dang, what if he moves a little bit left, He's gonna knock all those broken nowhere. But it was really sweet and I love that. I love that you had to put some thought into that. Yeah, shout out to Kenny G. He ages will Yeah he does looking good right, same hairstyle and we'll have more of the show. Is that ninety seven? Right after this you're listening to, Jussie Smallett opened up to GMA's Robert Roberts and told his story about his alleged racist and homophobic attack, which occurred in Chicago a couple of weeks ago. Small Lett gave a very detailed description of what happened. He also answered a lot of the questions that critics and doubters have had about his story. Small Lette says is disappointing that his attack wasn't captured on video. Take a listen. I went down to where it happened, and I walked them through exactly what happened. And I looked up and I saw that there was a camera directly on the light post that is in the intersection, So I'm like, there it is. And then the detective told me that the camera inside of the casing was facing north, so they didn't have it, and that was disappointing. Yeah. Jesse also said that he gave police a description of their body type and believes that the guy who said one hundred percent that the two men and the surveillance photo released by police are the attackers. Now, according to Yeah, he said that now he's that that's them. He said that now. According to TMZ, the Chicago police raided the home of the persons of interest and seized two laptops, five bottles of bleach, a red hat. Both of the men were reported to be extras on the set of Empire. Also really Yeah. Also, Multiple sources have told Chicago ABC seven Eye Witnessed News that police are investigating whether Jessie Smalleett and the two men staged the attack. Now, that was the latest thing that came out, allegedly because Smallette was being written out of Empire. However, a Chicago police spokesman by the name of Anthony Googliemi says that there's no evidence to support that report from ABC seven I witness news in Chicago. I can tell you right now that really I don't only know how that would make sense, Yeah, that somebody would stage getting jumped on to save your role on a show, right because you thought you were getting written out. Yeah, but how does that make any sense? And he's such a prominent character, it just doesn't make me live. Yeah. But but Fox exex came out and said that's definitely not the case. They weren't planning on firing him or anything. Yeah, he's a core part of that show. Yeah he is. He is a major storyline yeah on the shows. Yeah. Yeah, this case yeah yeah.

Congratulations again, all right, thank you. We will be back with closing remarks from the one and only Steve Harvey right after this at forty nine, after you're listening to show last break of the day, Steve on this Friday, great show. We have fun. Yeah okay, And as Steve, our closing remarks are back as well. What you have for us here we go. Here's a suggestion here's what I came up with for today, a suggestion something I've learned that has helped me out dramatically in accomplishing my goals and attaining my dreams. I still have things I'm after, Steve, or have goals that have not yet met in dreams that I haven't seen come true yet, but I'm working on them and I know they will. And i know they will because I have mastered one technique of how to do it. I'm gonna share it with you right now. If you are wanting something from God, this is just for spiritual people. If you're not a spiritual person, you can go and do what you want to do right now. Only this is for people who believe in God. When I want something for God, when I'm trying to reach a certain goal or fulfill a dream or attain something, I never go about it without his help. You know, the things that I do on my own, I'm just doing them, you know, Like you know, I don't simple stuff, you know, like make sure I got water in my office so I could drink enough. Now I don't, I can do that right. But let's say I have an aspiration or a dream that's pretty big as are most of mine and as should yours be. You should dream as big as you possibly can. You should let your imagination lead you into the life that God has for you. Not. A way to do that is to first of all, ask, because the scripture says you have not because you ask not, And then you have to believe. You have to have faith that God can do anything but fail. The third thing you need is a work ethic, an unrelenting work ethic. There's a scripture that says faith without works is dead. So after you ask for this incredible dream or vision or goal that you have, and you put the faith in it, the belief, you gotta work because faith without works is dead. Okay, cool. Now, the best way to accomp your dreams and gifts, First of all, you should tie it to your I mean your goals and gifts. Your goals and dreams you have to tie to your gift. Everything should be tied to your gift. Now, if you want an airplane or go on special trips has nothing to do with your gift. But the route that you're gonna get to this goal and to this dream has to be tied to your gift. Okay. Now, once you do that, and you ask God for something that's impossible, be careful who you share it with, because sharing things from your imagination is not always in your best interest. Because your imagination is yours and yours alone. Other people can't see it, they don't see no way how. They just start shooting it down. But when you do ask God for this incredible thing, listen to me. The how too is out of your business. Let me repeat that. When you ask God for your visions, your goals, your dreams, your aspirations, and you believe He'll do it, and you're willing to work as hard as you can to accomplish it, that's all that's required of you. The how to is none of your business. Get out of the way. The reason there is no scripture that tells us as people to figure it out is because if you're asking God for something so big, you gotta leave it up to him. You gotta let him have let The how to is not any of your business. The how too is not up to you. It's up to your faith and your belief in a higher power. Stop tripping on the how too. It ain't your business. The reason the how to is not up to you I have found in My life is for this reason right here, because my ways and my understanding is not enough to get me to where I want to go. Be half entertained to where I want to go be have entertained. My ways and my understanding is not enough because I'm asking God for something so huge that I don't know how to get it, but I know that he does. You can't even fathom his ways. You can quit tripping, you can save yourself a lot of time. You can't google his ways. You don't know the route he's gonna take. You don't know how he's gonna touch certain people's hearts along the way. You don't know how he gonna move people into position to get you exactly what you need, when you need it, and how you need it. You have no idea what God is going to do and how how He's going to do it. So why trouble yourself with the how too? Because it ain't your biss. The how too is not up to you, and the reason is not up to you is because when you ask for something so great that you absolutely have to have God's help to get it is not enough.
