Who y'all know what time to y'all don't know y'all back a suit on, looking back to back down, giving the more, just like the mosen buck bus things and it's coble y'all. Do me true good to the hut guy listening to me to other for Stobart moby w don't you join yeah by joining me have the same bad do turn on love go? Yeah, you gotta turn to turn turn lovey got to turn out to turn water go, come b come on your back at it. I good minded. Everybody you're listening to the voice, come on dig me now, one and only Steve Harvey, I got a radio show, you know. I eventually wanted to syndicate after I was given the opportunity, But the whole thing about the radio show in the beginning was not my idea. My idea simply was, I asked God to make me one of the premier stand ups in the country. That's all I wanted from me. I asked him that in That's that's all I asked him for. He's done so much more for me since then. He's blessed me with so many more opportunities. He's opened up so many more doors. He's poured out so many more blessings. It's hard for me sometimes, really man, to even take it all in because I feel like, wow, man, billy me, thank you. I mean, I'll take him now. Don't get me wrong, but it can be overwhelming at time. I often used to hear my mother say, who was a Sunday school teacher? And I remember these words all the time. Now, God will open up the windows of heaven and poor out of blessing that you won't have room enough to receive Wow. I kept waiting on that day, Mama, where is that day at? I got plenty of room because I'm dirt pole right now. I got room for a thousand dollars. I had room for you know, a car. I had all that. Now I understand. One of the things, though, that He's done for me that I've asked him for in my lifetime is that he has made me matter. Okay, Steve, what do you mean by that? So? I used to ask God a long time ago one of my prayers was to help me matter that I want to matter to the people that I come in contact me. Look, I just don't want to be a man that they meet. A young guy that they meet, and when they meet me, it don't it doesn't cause a ripple in the in the pond. I want. I want to make ripples in the pond. I want. I want to be that rock that when you throw you try to count the ripples as it go out. I want to be a fourteen ripple rock. I don't know if you know what that means. But when I was a little boy, we should stand on the bank at ponds and stuff and throw rocks out into the water. We should either skip them or we'd throw them, and when they would land in the water, they would create these rings that go out. If you threw it high enough and it dropped straight down in that water, the little rings would start forming out like it would create a little waves. And these waves just look like circles in the water. And I remember one time I made fourteen of them, and that's always stuck with me. As a little boy. That was because nobody in my circle could make fourteen rings, and they all counted them so they saw them. So I enjoyed that because I had made a bigger splash, a bigger ring pattern than anybody else. So I've always asked God to make me matter in my own way, make me a big ring pattern, see, because that's important to me. Now, it was important to me, but I didn't understand why I needed that to be the important part of me. Because here is the other part. You know, the thing that you know to who much has given much is required. You've heard the thing do unto others that you would have them do unto you. You know those those things like that that you learned along the way. Well, if you matter to people, then guess what all of those become a real possibility in your life. See, you can't ask for the yang without the yang. You can't ask for it without without the responsibility that comes with it. See, God can't bless you with a lot, and then you think that it ain't gonna be a lot required. I have people pulling at me all day, but I have to remember that prayer I made. Now, I wanted God to help me to matter. Now this is important, y'all because see, if your prayer is to matter, that means that you want to You want to matter in the circle that you in, No matter how big the circle you in, no matter how small the circle you're here, you want to make a difference. You want to have an impact on somebody's life in a positive way. If that's one of your prayers, guess what God a readily give you that. Because when you do something for the least of these, it's just like you've done it on His behalf or you've done it as him. You know what I'm saying. I don't know if I'm explaining that right, But when you do something for the less fortunate, you're doing God's work. God gonna bless you for doing that. So now here's a deal. So if your prayers to matter is to become an impactful person, then guess what God gonna help you do that, Because guess what, You're gonna do some work on His behalf because you're gonna run across somebody that's less fortunate. You're gonna run across somebody could that could use your impact. You're gonna run across somebody man that ain't quite knowing what your way to going because you haven't been down that dirty dog road before. You could say, hey, my man, let me let me pull your coat to something. You can do this now, But let me tell you what's gonna happen. If I were you, I would consider this that's making an impact. That's like the guy that passed out in the l a named Lou Danzler out there that had this boys and girls sent out there in the hood. And man, I can't tell you the people's lives he impacted. I remember when Eric Davis, a bad baseball player, came back and spoke at the group one time, looking at them kids and hugging Lou Danzling, thanking him man for changing his life. This guy became one of the superstars in the Major League Baseball and then just thousands of people that lives that he affected. And when he passed, what he did was he left an imprint. He left an imprint that's huge. And that's all I wanted. Man. I just said, Man, if I could make an imprint, you know what I mean, It's like you're walking through life, right and you're making footprints and saying, I want my footprints to be so deep that after I'm gone, people can still tell I had come through there. People have can still see that I did out. Oh man, he amen, Amen, Harve walked over there. Hold up, man, look right here, man, Steve Harvey came through here because I want my footprints to be so deep in the sand that I'm matter to so many that even after I'm gone, I can still show you the way that even after I'm gone, I still have an effect on my children, on my sons, so that my sons can look up one day and gonna remember all the conversations we had. Man, my daddy used to tell me this, and maybe I can turn wanted to turn my sons into men. You're understand. Turn my daughters into ladies, you understand, so they ain't got to follow the crowd and get out here. You know, man, you you, you, You gotta wanna matter. Man, you gotta wanna make a difference. And so at the end of my life, when it's all over and the winds is blowing the sand back in my footprints, I wanted to take a while. I wanted. I want. I want several sandstorms to have to come through that before my footprints get feeled up. That's how much I wanna matter. Mattering is important. It's gotta be important to you. What's your legacy, what you're gonna leave behind, what they're gonna say about you. There's a cold thing, you know, when you die and you get a tombstone, tombstone has your date of birth. Your tombstone has a dash, and your tombstone has the date of your death. You would think that the most important thing on that plaque, on that tombstone is your birthday or is the day you left here, But it's not the most important thing on that tombstone is that dash. What did you do while you will here? It ain't your birthday they're gonna celebrate. It ain't the day you die they're gonna celebrate. They're gonna celebrate that dash. What you did while you was here. It's the smallest thing on that tombstone, but it's the most important thing on that. Man, you gotta wake up to matter to somebody, you gotta make an imprint in the saying. You gotta affect some people's lives, and you got to do it all in a positive way. So we gotta wake up every day thinking about them footprints. We're laying down that legacy, we're creating that that that what they're gonna talk about when we're gone moment, what you're doing about your dash. My dash is January seventeen, nineteen fifty seven. That's my date, my dash. I'm working on that right now, now, when I leave here, what I want him to talk about Steve Harvey. Ain't January seventeen, nineteen fifty seven, ain't the date I leave here. I want him talk about that dash man when he was on here. This is what he did. Man, that was my man. All right, let's go.

President Trump's one time chief strategist, Steve Bannon is now backing away from the unflattering statements attributed him about Trump and his family and the book Fire and Fury's saying I'm sorry. Basically, after excerpts of the new book were published last week, some of Bannon's in bright Bart News is big right wing contributes back to a way. So Bannon now says his support for Trump is unwavering. He calls Don Junior, by the way, a patriot and a good man. That's even though he's quoted in the Michael Wolf books called the younger Trump's meeting with the Russians treasonists. The President called Bannon sloppy Steve and says he's lost his mind. President Trump, by the way, has gotten rid of the commission he's set up to supposedly find the five million votes he claimed were illegally cast for Hillary Clinton last November, votes he blamed for his losing the actual popular vote two years ago by more than three million. Trump leveled those fraud charges without ever offering a shred of evidence. Many states dismissed the whole idea, and the panel never issued any findings. By the way, it's reported on Wednesday.

It's rather small in here. If you are interested in coming in working, I would really like to have someone come in and work with me. That would be nice. Can I ask you a question them, what's your background? What do you do? Well, actually, I've just moved here to d C. I was actually living in the Los Angeles area, and you know, I've been doing hair there for the last probably fifteen twenty years. I've been doing hair, uh, definitely licensed. You know, I just moved here, but I've been doing here here for quite a long time. I specialized and only doing females hair. And um, you know, just looking to get into d C and get back to work, and I really want to find a place where I can do some hair and and you know it's gonna take me a minute to get some clientele built up, but you know, I know my work is good. Okay. Well, UM, I am in a high traffic area and I think this would be a great area for you just coming in from another state, especially California. UM, is it possible you can come in and take a look and see what you can You know, I'd love I'd love to come in and take a look and see what. I don't want the type of work environment you have, and so I'm I'm understanding that a lot of people that do have and have different rooms. Is that's how this setup is yes, that's how it's set up. However, I did you actually have you actually have a sweet? I do have a sweet. Um, it's a double sweep, so there is room for another technician. Um. But you know, with the being such close quarters, you know, you gotta gotta kind of get a feel for the person that's going to come in and work for you. So all right, rightly's gonna be working real close to each other. Understand. You know if we kind of meet each other, you know, we can get a feel for each other and see if you can work. Let me ask you something. Have you have you had a PHS? Have you worked around a PHS person before? I'm sorry? Who a PHS? Have you worked around? I mean that's that's pretty much what I do. Have you worked around a PHS? I'm not I'm not familiar with that term. Is that a California term? I don't with PHS? Is? Um? Private hair specialists? Have you worked with a private hair specialist before? Um? Well, I would consider myself private being so I'm in the sweet, but where you would be working out in the open with myself? So I don't know how private you would be? Oh no, no, no, no, no, you know you don't understand where it comes from. I'm a phs okay, private hair specialists, and what that is is I I do women's private hair, like if they want removal from under their arm or their chin or you know. But most of my work actually resides in the bikini line. Uh. You know, I'm an artist, so I've known to put your name there. I can die at a different color mohawk landing strip, you know. Let me let me let me stop you right there. Um, you did call and say you were hairstyles, and the last time I check the hairstyles, they'd be style here the hair on top of the head. Leon does hair.

Again, this is a suite and you will be working in the open with myself and my clients who are accustomed to having a professional setting. Um, and I don't think it would be appropriate for you to have someone come in and have a landing strip, an airport, a plane, their baby daddy's name. But I don't, I don't at all. Whatever you do, that's not what we're about here. Are you trying to say that you're not open for new ideas? I'm sorry.

Where did you even get my number from? Why? What made you think that you could call my shop? And then this is what we do? When you could come here and you could do that, well, I'm thinking that you would be open for something new. Why would you think that I'd be open for that? Who? Who told you that? What I mean? I'm not saying that you came all the way from California and you called me. You're not coming to my salon to call your name, anybody else's name, and you have a landing strip, any type of initials. Okay, this is a professional salon and we four hair, the hair on the head. That's what I'm doing. I'm staring hand of the head that I said stone here, that's what she does. Look you, I'm sick of you.

Since we got pictures of me and my coat up, let's put a picture of Tom and hamstring bruise that Wait wait, wait, wait, I gotta tell you all this story. It's real quick. Let me tell you all this. So, so, me and Jackie, me and my wife. Out of the restaurant. I go wash my hands, use bathroom. I'm standing in the urinal. Somebody stands next to me and it just towers over me. I'm like, damn, who is that? I don't want to look right most and I couldn't help it. I look right anybody, So I looked it's Robert, or damn Robert, I just text you yes to a few days ago.

I watched the whole thing zipped up, zipped up by the I don't need to wat Shirley, What did he say? What did who say? He asked, they zipped up? Buckle up here. It is straw everybody subject in desperate need of love. First, let me say that I love the advice that you and Steve give to those with dilemmas. I've tried to ask for advice from others but got a little shine backed away. But I'm at the point where I need answers. I'm not sure where to begin, but here I go. I'm head over heels for this guy that has straight affection problems. He says that he loves me once in a while, but it's like pulling teeth from his mouth. He basically says that when we're going through crazy situations like near death experiences. When I bring it up, he says, you should know how I feel I'm with you, right, garbage like that. Surely I'm the type of woman where I'm not only where I not only need to hear it, I need to feel it and see it. I guess you can say I'm an addict for love and all my relationships past and present, it's like I need that fix of showers and showers of love. I try being with other guys and they've wined and dined me, but it's like my guy haunts my mind. I honestly do think that he loves me because I sense it when we are together. Oh yeah, we've been together for about three years, but he still hasn't popped that big question, will you marry me? I guess what I'm asking is what should I do? Should I stay with him? And if so, should I settle with what love he has to offer me? Because of how much I love him and can envision myself with anyone else. Your advice, whether it is harsh or not, is greatly needed. Thanks a bunch desperately in need of love, um dear desperately in need of love. I just feel like you need some empowerment and and you know in this situation, first, why is sister gott to be desperate? Let's just take desperation out of the equation. You got a man, you're crazy about him. You're upset that he doesn't say loves you enough. Now. I know, as a woman, we do like to hear it when our man says he loves us. We like it. It makes us feel a certain way. I can't deny that. But does it make you desperate? And doesn't make you an addict for love just because you want to hear that, No, it doesn't. It just makes you a woman who's who's really into the act of love. You know, you like being in love, but it just doesn't sound like your man is into it. You don't need showers and showers of love. You just want that because at this stage, right here, in this relationship with him, you need that to validate uh you who you are. When when he you know, when he shows you that he loves you like that gives you stuff, then you feel like he really loves you. Um, you just gotta believe in yourself and have confidence in your confidence in yourself, or you're never gonna be happy no matter who it's with, You're gonna always have that desperate feeling if you don't get what's right, you know, get you right first. It's okay to love someone, but you gotta ask yourself. Are they worthy of your love? Can they return it? How does he treats you? You've been with him three years. You ought to know something by now as a subject of marriage. Even come up. It's okay to love him, got to love yourself. I can't say that enough. Um, what he's doing right now, he's gonna do for the of the relationship. He is not gonna change. So it's up to you if you want to stay with him, definitely don't settle though, you know, definitely don't settle Steve. After that, if you want to respond to the letter, go to Steve Harvey dot com and you can respond and read it. All. This should be done in her time. You're listening to Steve Harvey Morning Show. All right, come on, Steve, let's get to your part to response to today's Strawberry letter subject in Desperate Need of Love. First, let me say that I love to advise you and Steve give to those with dilemmas. I've tried to ask advice from others but got a little shine back the way. But I'm at the point where I need answers and I'm not sure where to begin, but here I go. I'm head over heels for this guy that has straight affection problems. He said he loves me once in a while, but it's like pulling teeth from his mouth. He basically says, it's when you were going through crazy situations like near death experiences. When I bring it up, he says, you should know how I feel. I'm with you, right, Garbage like that, Shirley. I'm the type of woman who I not only need to hear it, I need to feel it and see it, I guess you can say. And I'm I'm an addict for love in all of my relationships past and presidents like, I need that fix of showers and showers of love. I tried being with other guys and they have wined and dyed me, but it's like but it's like my guy haunts my mind. I honestly do think that he loves me because I sense it when we are together. Oh yeah, we've been together for about three years, but he still hasn't popped a big question when you married me. I guess what I'm asking. It's what should I do? Should I stay with him? And if so, should I settle with what love he has to offer me because of how much I love him and can't envision myself with anyone else. Your advice, whether it's harsh or not, it's greatly needed. Thanks again, desperately in need of love. Well, your advice, whether it is harsh are not, it's greatly needed. I specialized in the harshness of advice. I figured harsh is the best way to go sometimes because at this point, for you to write a nationally syndicated show something is really the hell wrong. You tried asking your other friends, then you get shot well, basically because you know they ain't gonna tell you what you want to heal. I ain't gonna tell you what you want to heal. But your letter says that at the beginning, and at the end and all through the middle, desperate, desperate need of love, Desperately in need of love and greatly needed. You know, lady, your real problem ain't your man. Your real problem is you. Because you're desperate and you have an addiction because you say it in your letter. I guess you can say I'm an addict for love. Anytime you're an attic for anything, it's an over abuse of one thing. You know. They say if you drink too much water, it could kill you. They say that. I never knew that. But if too much of anything, You drink too much liquor, you smoke too many cigarettes, you take too many drugs, you stay up too long, you sleep too long, You eat too much pork, you eat too much sugar. You don't all of this. Anything in excess is bad for you when you excessively in need of love. I don't know what happened in your childhood. I don't know who didn't tell it to you enough. Now you want it all from everybody else you meet. But let me tell you what's gonna happen with your little needy self. First of all, when you write me a letter, don't all through your letter, you needy. My guy has straight affection problems. He said he loves me once in a while, but it's like pulling teeth from his mouth. Okay, but don't he tell you that. He basically says that when we're going through crazy situations like near death experiences. The hell been happening in y'all? Three years near death experiences? Who y'all keep having operations? Y'all gotta go down there and see by each other what what happened. But at least in the moment of crisis, the man is there for you. What do you want? I can't count for you the women I have heard talk to in my lifetime who have let a good man get away because their qualifications and expectations of a man was ridiculous. Ladies, you can't keep want the man to love you the same way you love him. That ain't how we love. Now this man coming in here near death experiences and he's steal with you. When it all break down and go bad, he there by your side, and you know he loved you because you say you sense it. But see then when he when you want him to say it all the time, he said you should know how I feel, right, And then you say gobage like that. Well, now I guess what when he do show you affection, you shine that. So now you want your man to keep showing you with it, But every time you get it from him, it ain't enough, which leads us not to continue to give more. Now you've had all these other guys that been wind and dying, you would shower at you with the expressive gifts and all like this, but and you got to have that. Then you try to throw me off and say, Shirley, I'm the type of woman right there trying to get somebody to go along with you. But you're messed up, cause Steve go answering the letter too. Now you've been dating a man for three years and you wonder why he popped a big question. He'd go, don't know, man, wanna sign up for a life with a needy ass woman? Men want to be need at but we don't want to sign up for no needy ass woman. I got to sit up under you, I got to be with you. I got to tell you how beautiful you are. I got to shower you with these flowers give. If you ain't getting that, then your ass ain't happy. Who you know finn to sign up with that? The man you got ain't signed enough for that, and the other ones you had in your past ain't signed up for it, And you've feen to be lonely the rest of your life because your ass is needy. Stop expecting everybody to make you happy and make yourself happy. Hey't nobody make you happy but you? And obviously, lady, you ain't happy now you want everybody come along and make you happy. Your needy, lonely ass to be needy and lonely for a long ass time. Ain't nobody been to marry your needy ass? Wow? Yes, tell Steve, I said, hey, tell him. He's not talking to you. You can talk to him. You can talk to him. Okay, we're tell him. I heard Steve. Come on, this is so awkward for us. We're in the middle. You guys are friends, you've been friends for years. Oh yeah, well well, I mean maybe what's the problem though? You fired him and you're not talking to him. Don't you think that's the problem, Like a major problem. I'm still here.

You can't win alright, come with Steve closes out o this. I'm through you through now, you through you? When you start crying after six, Oh my god, you're listening to the Steve Harvey Morning Show. Michael Wolfe remember that name. Michael wolf He is the author of a controversial new book, Fire and Fury. It did els the first year of Donald Trump's presidency. Uh and he was on Meet the Press yesterday and recently appeared on the Today Show. Wolf has come under fire from the White House, which has accused him of fabricating many of the claims in this book. But Wolf insists he is comfortable with everything he wrote and that he has recordings and notes from every conversation he had with the President and others inside the administration. Okay, Trump's lawyer fired off a cease and desist letter to block today's publication of the new book, which Wolf says only helps him prove the point of his book. He says, this is extraordinary that a president would try to stop the publication of the book. And as for Wolf's credibility being questioned, here is Wolf's explanation to Today's show, Savannah Guthrie, take a listen here. We got work like every journalist works. So I have recordings, I have notes. Um, I am certainly and absolutely in every way comfortable with everything I've reported in this Would you release any of those recordings since your credibility is being questioned. My credibility is being crushed, questioned by a man who has less credibility than perhaps anyone who has ever walked on earth. At this point, Wow, baby's got down that Steve. You say what cha to anyone that has ever walked on earth. Though, that's crazy. Don't come for him, Do not come from Michael Wolf's okay, He also said. Michael Wolfe also said he spoke to dozens of people inside the White House, and one percent of the people around him question his intelligence and fitness to do the job. Um, adding they're talking about the president now, adding they all say he is like a child, and what they mean by that is that he has an immediate need for gratification. It is all about him. Wolf claims that people he spoke to describe the president as a quote moron and an idiot. President Trump rejects those assertions, of course, and said that he is very stable. As a matter of fact, he is a very stable genius. All right. Uh, he tweeted, he was an excellent student and won the presidency on the first trial, Right Am, Barack Obamba and Bill Clinton and Ronald Reagan and Jimmy Carter. I'll tell you everybody who ran the first time. Yeah, so, I mean, and and Michael Wolfe was actually in and around the White House. I mean he was the air he you know, how did he get in? Yeah? He had he had to have access they said he had access, he had to pass all of that, so they knew he was there. So, I mean, all of this stuff is just made up. Now, that's what they're saying that they're calling it a fiction. They're calling the book fiction. Now, yeah, I got comebacks, is funny. I'm a stable genius. Yeah, yeah, he could come up with him. Yeah. Here's the deal. And I've said this all along. Here's a seventy year old guy who has made billions of dollars. He's just an old rich guy who had a reality show, who's been on the cover of Playgirl magazine, who has been an international playboy. He is now the president with no political experience, never worked on the streets to help people, He's never been in any political office, ain't been mayor, Alderman counsel him in nothing, And now he's the president who is just non presidential on almost any level. Now, does he have some good business ideas? I think he might be onto something business wise. Does he have any people's skills? Not a single one. Does he uplift and try to do the most for people? Not at all? I mean it. Does he have a clue as to what the common man thinks? He feels not and will he listen to people who have that advice for him? No? No, but his base. Have you ever talked to the base personally? Yeah? Hey, man, I wish I could think of his lady's name. Have you seen the lady that was defending Judge Roy Moore that they hired the campaign manager, his campaign manager, the white lady, blonde boy. When you listen to her try to justify Roy Moore, it was It's ridiculous and it just goes to show you how bipartisan this country is. Look, Republicans know that this guy, Donald Trump is not presidential acting at all. They know that he goes against everything that's ever been Yeah, they knew that even before he you know, they thought he would become more presidential. But they try to stand with him. If you look at just flip between CNN and Fox News, just do that one day that all they've been talking about is the book I'm talking about is to Russia investigation. All they've been talking about is this turmoil in the White House. All they've been talking to about is Donald Trump's unfitness. You go to Fox, all they're talking about is the Clintons are now under investigation. They're gonna reopen the investigation. Clinton, did they do did they take foundation contributions for political favors? Uh, look at these immigrants. We need a wall. This is what's happening with immigration. And the president has approval skipped approval rating. Jobs are up, unemployment is down, the stock markets at all time high. That's all Fox say and all c and then say is what's wrong? It's this the craziest thing I know. His wife looked, she looked tired, she looked like she fed up with it. Book. She cried, she was distraught. Hell, a lot of people cried the whole weekend. You're listening Steve Harvey Show. All right, Uh, we talked about author Michael Wolfe and his book that's out today, Fire and Fury. Um, it's all about the president and the White House right now, the goings on in the White House. You know how he's questioning the president's credibility and and his fitness to be president and all of that. And the president klapped back and said he's a very stable genius. Well, Dan Rather tweeted, Uh, you remember Dan Rather used to be on sixty minutes for for years and years. Anyway, he tweeted, Yeah, a legend. You're right, dear Mr President. A good rule of thumb is that when you've got it, you don't have to say it. People know. That holds true for wealth, compassion, faith, and yes, being a very stable genius. Sincerely, Dan. So there you go with the president, with the President saying, you know, tweeting, he's a very able genius. Dan. Rather, it's just saying, you don't have to say it. People know it.

They got a better recordar your challenges. Shut up, you're listening to the Steve Harvey Morning Show. All right, Steve. The hopeless condition of your Cleveland Browns And yes, I say you're Cleveland Browns. You're Cleveland Browns. They were blamed for an Ohio man's death, Stez. And this is this is really sad. I mean, and Ohio man passed away after suffering from a long illness. His affliction here it is being a Cleveland Browns fan. His name is Mr Paul Stark. He died at just the first world reporter what him? What are you saying? Myself inflicted? At least people didn't die following the damn frown His family, you know, they published like a little tongue in cheek obituary saying his condition was exacerbated by the hopeless condition of the Cleveland Browns. Mr Stark died days before his team lost its final game and kept off its winless, winless season. The obituary did, however, share glimmer a glimmer of optimism. It added that Start passed out before the Browns were prepared to turn the corner. Steve, No, No, there's no corner to turn you own sixteen two years in a row. You have to end. You gotta turn around. This ain't no corner. You gotta make it you turn What do they do though? I mean, seriously, first of all, even I care about I have no idea how this coach is steal the coach. Any other team would have fired him. You're saying, second, yeah, is he dating anyone? I mean, you know who would date him? Steve? He losing? Who gonna sit out there in the frigid cold Sunday to your job to watch you? Pretty soon? Someone would have had know how much you have to know about six? Dang took a turn?

I do one damn song and get you right, Jay, get real. I ain't gonna let you do me like you did them over there, if you were the owner of the Browns, the coach would have been to talk about him. Jay. You can't even say his name now, Jay Anthony Brown. What he went over there and ran their raids in the ground.

No, no, no, they lost markets when they left. J left. I mean he left, he got caught up. You forgot. You're listening Steve Harvey Morning Show. All right, here we go, Steve, just one more thing to close out the show, starting two thousand eighteen with closing remarks. Yeah, you know, first I wanted to say our cardless goes out there an incredible brother that was on the radio for years at k g l H, and his name is Cliff wooster Man. When I heard that, it was unbelievable to me, and I just recently heard it. I was so late to the table. But first day back, I want to say our cadoles and heartfelt sympathy. God is out to his family. But know this though, that that brother right there left an incredibly lasting impression. That that brother right there was one of those special men. Cliff Winston was a special guy. He was one of the most like people in radio. I really don't know anybody saying anything disparaging about the brother. Cliff Winston was one of the rail ones. He was one of the great radio people, man, and I just wanted to send that, say that out for Cliff Winston on that first day back. So rest in peach, brother, But man, sold your job well done. Of course, you know the good always go too early. You know, we don't. We don't like this as people, but it's not our call, and so those of us that are left to deal with it, we just had to remember the joyous things that he did. He was a great brother. So Cliff Winston one of the great ones, Yes, sir, now uh. This year I had talked to the crew and I thought closing out the show on a positive note, to try to be encouraging the people, would be important. I all have had a very interesting life. I used to always wonder why God allowed so many things to happen to me. I was so tripped out, man, growing up with a stuttering problem, you know, flunking out of school, third marriage, um, lost everything I've owned, twice, homeless, living in a car, and I used to just be questioning God about all of it. And as I got older understood. Somebody sent a message to me one time to said, everything you're going through is preparing you for what you ask God for. Everything you're going through is preparing you for what you ask God for. So little did I know that all those moments in my life, that I would have those to advantage now that now, because I have a radio show, a TV show, there's so many other things going in my life, I actually can spread the good news of hope, of encouragement. That I can tell you how to get up because I've been down. I can share with you how to get over because I've been under. I can tell you how to do better because I've done worse. I can tell you how to do good because I've done bad. I can tell you how to win because I have lost. So everything you're going through is God preparing you for what you ask God for. And so I appreciate my life now, and that's in going into two thousand and eighteen, I would implore everybody to appreciate your life where it is right now. Stop complaining about the things that you don't have, and let's take a real good case of inventory and start focusing on the things that we do have. Whatever measure of health you have, you are still here. Whatever financial situation you're in, you still here. And at the end of the day, He allowed you to see two thousand and eighteen. And the reason that you are seeing two thousand and eighteen is simple. It's because God ain't through with you yet. It's because God has something else in the store for you that He has yet been able to give to you yet. And so you should be in receiver mold. You should live your life in the life of expectations. You should take advantage of this new opportunity that's given to you. If you don't have the right attitude, you know you can change that. That's the one thing you can control, what goes on in your side, your head. You ain't controlled by the devil. You are controlled by your thoughts. If you think godly thoughts, good things happened to you. If you think devilish thoughts, bad things happened to you. But you have the power of choice. Here we are the one creature that God created where we have the total power of choice. We can live where we want to live. We can do a cold climate or a hot climate. Well, you have a choice with your mind set. If you change your mind, if you change your attitude, you instantly change your altitude. This is two thousand and eighteen. Take advantage of this opportunity that God has given you. Some of these changes is gonna have to require a sense of bravery because one or two of these decisions are so big that's gonna make you fearful. Being afraid is a part of it. I'm afraid from time to time with decisions I have to make. I'm faced oftentimes with decisions man to make me wonder and second guess myself and even thinking if I shield or if I should just stay still. But you can't go forward and stay still. At the same time, you can't advance and progress without stepping. Stepping requires a certain amount of bravery. But certain steps you take are gonna be fearful. Everybody is afraid, but you got to face it though, deal with it, and take God with you in these decisions. Quick tripping yourself out. That's what God is there for. He provides strength when you're weak, He provides guidance when you confuse that's what he do. So two thousand and eighteen, why don't we all take advantage of that? I know I'm gonna try to do it more and more as the year goes on. Start your two thousand and eighteen off with God. Okay, put some God in your life and have yourself a better two thousand and eighteen. Two thousand and eighteen can be the best year of your life, y'all feel me? Yeah? Steve? Does that mean gets his job back? Then? I think about it tomorrow? Does he come here? God? Stuff? God ain't got nothing to do with him. He did that anybody, He gave him the power to decide, right.
