Y'all know what time to y'all don't know y'all have a suit looking back to back down, giving them more like the milking buck things and its cubbing me through good it. Steve Hart listening to the movie Together for Steve hand, Please, I don't join joining you doing me. You gotta use turn hur You gotta turn to turn them out, turn you love, got to turn them out. Then turn the water the water go. Come come on your bad uh huh, I sure will come onted everybody you are listening to the voice, come on dig me now, one and only. Steve Harvey, Oh yeah, man, got a radio show. Do you understand that I'm telling you God been big in my life. I'm not gonna kid you. I'm telling you in here do the same thing for you. God. God is a gentleman, you know. I want to. I want to point that out to you. God is an absolute gentleman. He will not come in unless he's invited. He don't just barge into your life. He gives us the power of choice. You know, if you say you got it, I don't need you, He let you have it. If you say I need you, come see about me. He right there It's just a real simple thing, man. So always say to people this, if you've gotten yourself into something, and please know I have. I was stuck. I thought a couple of times, well might not make it past this one. But then if I don't make it past it, what's gonna happen? And then I held on to this little thing that my mother kept talking to me about. She said, sometimes, so when you ain't got nothing else in you, just hope, she said, just hope it'll be all right, you know. And what I've learned in my life is that hope. It's the beginning of faith. Hope. It's just is there a possibility out there for me? I sure hope something happened. See hope, hope it's okay, man, Because like I say, for me, the way I've lived my life, hope was the beginning of faith. It was just the idea. It's just the thought that something could change from me. That's something could be a little bit different from me. That maybe, man, just maybe for some reason, I could be saved, I could be rescued, things could turn around, it could head in the other direction. Maybe I could quit messing up. Maybe somebody will forgive me. Maybe somebody will just say, all right, I don't know, but I can't count the times I've been in that position. But then once I hope a little bit, and then I remember. Also my mother, because she was a Sunday school teacher, she taught me the most valuable lesson I've ever learned in my life. Nothing has been greater in my life than my faith. She taught me to pray. Mamma used to say, when it get real dark for your son, prad changes things. She said, when you seem like you lost and you can't find your way, stop and pray, she said, because prad changes things. You know, when you get a point in your life when you've done all you can do and you can't do no more, and you gus don't know what to do next, she says, stop suh, pray and combine that prayer with that hope that you got, she said, because that hope is the beginning of faith. She said. If you pray just hoping, she's saying that God come through for you, that will give you confidence that he can do it again. And then after a while, you quit hoping, she's saying, you start believing. She saying, that's when you're on to something if you can turn that hope into belief, that hope into faith, the ability to believe in something that you can't see. But the key though the faith is you're believing in something that you can't see. See hoping a little bit different from me now, I'm pretty sure, Like I say oftentimes to tell a lot of people who can explain this thing a lot better than I can to you, but just from my side of it, being as real as I can be rich. See, hope helps man. If you ain't strong enough to have have hope, and then if you pray with some hope and God answers your prayer, then that hope gains a little confidence and after a while that confidence becomes faith. Now ain't just hoping, but I'm believing. I'm believing in something that I cannot see. Faith has been the key to my entire existence, even when I didn't have any It was faith, as I look back on it, that has gotten me here, and not just faith, but my faith. See, you will only get to where you're going in your life based on your faith. See A lot of people get the word faith confused, like what's your faith? And then they started going down this whole list of all these different religions out here, but really an essence. Man, When I talk to people about faith, I'm talking to you about your your belief. How much do you believe in the unseen? How much do you believe in the things you can't see? How much do you believe in the impossible? How much do you believe see? Because faith is the belief in things that you cannot see. Faith is the core of all that is happening to me today. It is the faith that I have in my relationship with God that enables me to just oftentimes, if I stay on the right course and believe a certain way and act a certain way, his blessings just poor. They just come. And it comes in a lot of little ways too. I've started to notice, See, it ain't just a lot of people think blessings is money and now man, that ain't it. It's coverage. It's every time my plan ain't land safe. It's every time they predict bad weather and I get up in the sky and it don't be no bad weather. You know this, This is favor. These are blessings that get poured out to me. Somebody call me and offer me something not money, but an opportunity. You know, somebody say, hey, man, I don't know, but I sent this to you. I thought you might be interested in it. Somebody has sent me a scripture, or somebody will send me something that's favor, and it always comes at a time when I need it the most. That's favor, that's pouring out blessings. Now. I'm also the recipient of a lot of other blessings too. You know, I've been blessed with health. That's amazing blessing. Man. I've been blessed with a spirit of not quitting. I've been blessed with the ability to shoulder huge amounts of responsibility. See, blessings come a lot of ways. But once you tie into God, once you tie in and you start doing the best you can do, and you start asking for him to make you a better person, to help shape and mold you into the kind of man or person that he wants you to be. You be amazed what God can do with you. Man, if you just invite me in and allow him to be a part of your life. I mean, what you got to lose out there? Come on, if you're sitting in the cell this morning, why why would you not change? You have a chance to turn your life around with a relationship with God. What you're waiting on? Are you gonna just keep doing it like that? Huh? Really? Come on, man, why would you do that to yourself? Why would you not allow God to be a part of your life so you can get the way He want you to be. God got some big plans for you. If he didn't, you wouldn't keep waking up. You're listening tow one two. When you think of love, gotta getty, don't your mind? Yeah, when you think of love, gotta get it. Don't you mind? One more time?

Research shows that only thirty six percent of Americans actually approve of the way Trump is handling his job. Sixty two percent disagree.

According to The New York Post, the New York Times has demoted one of its top Washington DC editors, Jonathan Wiseman, over tweets that many considered to be racist. For instance, and one Wiseman suggests that Congresswoman Ilhan Omar and Rashida Talib aren't really from the Midwest. Wiseman goes on to say something really bizarre that represented John Lewis a man who shed blood during the Civil Rights movement is not really from the South. And just last week, Wiseman tweeted that the group Justice Democrats was backing a candidate who was looking to unseat an African American Democrat, even though the challenger was also black.

Didn't it's not Delta Sigma, Theta Delta, Ova Delta. Who have o oprah? You got the African thang? Some black people here Vonga Delta. Okay, I've never been there. It's supposed to be be one of the most untouched pristine places on Earth that you can visit. Uh. I'm gonna get the exact scripture for you. But this man told me here in Africa that this place is mentioned in Genesis. I don't know, okay, what chapter this. I got some people around me fitting look at. I have no idea. I don't know if what he told him he told it to me. I just said okay, so I couldn't say he was wrong because I can't verify nothing. You could tell me any scriptures anywhere. I'm just gonna go okay, cool. Can you say you're gonna say okay? You know, yeah, he listen to me. You can know you're all looking up Bible books is limited when you can't find twenty third songs. Okavango? Is that how you pronouncing Okavango delta? Yeah, I'm not saying I don't think he's saying that that term is in general came up, but the description of that place is what he was saying. Oh okay, I don't know that to be true. Yeah you found Junior. No, I mean, are you typing? That's what I'm going to do. It comes up the name, but I'm looking at Okavango delta in the Bible, said, I don't think it's in there like that. I think he was meaning that the description of the place. Okay, you know, people say stuff to you. Yeah, okay, look, let's let's not get lost in that right there, because I don't know where it is, nor can I tell you. So that's why I'm going this weekend to visit that. The tourism Yeah, the Tourism board wants me to see it. And once again, you know, all of us geared around to bring awareness and they just want to see how I feel about everything, to see if I can help, because it's such a poor man. If we understood how deeply Africans identify with African Americans, if we could get that same thing pushed back on the other side of the water to this continent, it could be an amazing connection. It could be an amazing connection, man, for us all because I mean, we have such a richness of culture that we're just not taught about in our school systems. I think everybody will agree to that. And one of the things, man, I really believe in my heart, as many people do, if we understood who we really were, it could it could help with our behavior towards one another. And that's not the majority of us. The majority of us feel absolutely wonderful about each other. But there's a segment of our culture that could really use it and you know, young people, old people. If we could just understand where we're from, what happened to us, how it happened, what we were before we were taken from him. It's a very very rich culture, man, very very rich. It's absolutely astonishingly beautiful over him. And I've seen parts of it this trip that I haven't ever seen before. You've been a surprise with my family, but this, this was a whole new awakening for me. Marks different, absolutely marks. I can tell you this. On this continent, it's some of the most breathtaking scenery you'll ever see anywhere. A matter of fact, it's stuff over here you can't see nowhere else period period. It's just that vast. Is this beautiful? Man? It really all right? Well, coming up next, Steve, your nephew is here.

Hold on tight, we got it for you, hibberties, the Strawberry Letter. You're excited about this letter? I see, all right, here we go. Yeah, subject, she can have a side piece but I can't. Dear Stephen Shirley, I am a sixty year old man and I have been married for sixteen years. My wife is thirteen years younger than I am, and we don't see eye to eye on a serious issue. In the beginning, our sex life was great, but over the years we simmered down a bit. A year ago, I went through a very serious health issue and during that time our sex life suffered. I made a full recovery, and when I was ready for some action, my wife was acting like she was afraid to touch me. I had to beg for sex, and when we did do it, it wasn't very exciting. One day, I just told her that I was not being satisfied, and she told me that while I was sick, she found other ways to get a little pleasure. She told me she had always been attracted to one of her female friends, but she suppressed her feelings until recently. She told me that she enjoys being with this chick and will not stop seeing her, but she does still love me and hopes this doesn't break up our marriage. Not to be totally honest, I have a younger female friend that I see once a week for some really great sex. So I guess we were both keeping a secret. I told my wife all about my chick on the side, and she got very upset. She told me that she will not allow me to have an affair on her. She said that I could fall in love with my side chick and leave her for this younger girl. I told her that's not the case, but she gave me an ultimatum that I have to stop seeing my side chick or she'll file for divorce. This makes no sense to me. Why should I leave my side chick if she is not willing to leave hers She's got a lot of nerve. What should I do? Well, obviously, you can't have it both ways. I mean, your wife isn't going to stand for it. Even though even though your wife is seeing someone on the side too, your wife is cheating too. Somehow I feel, and this may be the key point here, sometimes how I feel like, you know, she thinks because she's seeing a woman and not a man, that it's not cheating, Because she kind of alluded to it in the letter when she said, you know, she enjoys seeing the side chick she's not gonna see her, and that you're not gonna have an affair on her. It doesn't seem to look like she thinks that she's actually having an affair, but she is. This is still cheating, She's still bringing another person into the marriage. So you have options too. You can call her bluff and tell her that she has to stop seeing her side chick or you'll divorce her. How about that She's not the only one who can give ultimatums in this marriage. But both of you, guys are wrong, and two wrongs do not make a right. You're wrong for cheating on your wife and she's wrong for cheating on you. Your marriage needs a reset, a reboot. You need to start over if you can in this particular situation, which means both of you need to stop. Your wife says she still loves you, and if you still love her, maybe there is a chance to save your marriage. You know, maybe you both are gonna. Let me just say this. In order to do that, you both are gonna have to let your side pieces go. Your wife and you. Okay, shut up, Tommy, You're gonna have to do that. You're gonna have to let that go and concentrate and work on your marriage. That's the only way this is going to work. Steve, all right, let me jump right into this letter because this is ignorant. Tommy, I know this is what you've been waiting on. But sorry, I'm gonna go ahead the subject. She can have a side piece, but I can't. Now we got a sixty year old man here that's been married for sixteen years to his wife who's thirteen years younger than him, and they got a problem because in the beginning their sex life was great and then over the years he's say, it's simmit down. And then something happened to the brother. He went through some serious health issues. I don't know what that was. I don't know if he had a heart attack nor he I don't know what happened. I don't ain't any number thing could happen, but something to hell happening, serious healthy and during that time their sex life hit a dry spelling suffer. So then the dude say he fully came out of the health issue and he ready for some action, but his wife started acting funny. She didn't want to touch it. So then he say he got a bed to get some action in the bedroom. So then when they finally do, he say he ain't like it wasn't excitement. And then he finally told her he ain't being satisfied. Well, she said, she told, well, why you was sick? Damn. See the red vials just starting to go out the windows through Remember that vibe was say through sickness in health or through through sickness and in health that well, she said, She said, why he was sick, she found other ways for a little pleasure. Then he go to kick her. She said she was always attracted to one of her female friends, but she didn't want to act on it because they was married. But now she didn't told the due that she enjoyed being with this chick and will not stop seeing her. She told him that, but then she said, but she still loved me, and hope this don't break up our marriage? What what marriages? She talking? But I lost the marriage thing when the man got sick and you started sleeping with your girlfriend. All right, Steve, hang on, we got a problem. I'm gonna give you the rest of them when I come back. All right, we're gonna have to part the problem. We're gonna have part two of Steve's response coming up at twenty three after the hour subject she can have a slight piece, but I can't. We'll get back into it at twenty three after right after this, you're listening, all right, Steve, Here we go, let's recap today's strawberry letters. She can have a slight piece, but I can't. Sixty ye old man. He married sixteen years his wife thirteen younger than him. They had some cool sex life, then he got to some problems with his health. He got sick, then he got healed and he ready for action, but his wife don't want to be bothered no more. And finally he confront her with him not being satisfied because he got to beg for it. She snaps off and tell him, while you were sick, I found other ways of pleasure myself. He said, how she said, I've always been attracted to my girlfriend, but I ain't act on it now. She told me that she enjoyed being with this cheap and that she not gonna stop seeing. But she told him, man, she still loves him, and I hope this don't break up out. Man. Now here's the part we gotta get into, he said. Now, to be totally honest with you, I have a younger female friend that I see once a week for some really great sex. So I guess we're both keeping a secret. She ain't keeping a secret, dog she told you she's sleeping with her girl friend. This is where the letter gets very confusing to me. He said, I guess we're both keeping a secret. So didn't get what this fool did. I told my wife all about my chick on the side, and she got upset. She told me she would not allow me to have an affair on her. She said that I could fall in love with this side chick and leave for this younger girl. I told her that's not the case, so she gave me an ultimatum that I gotta stop seeing my side chick or she gonna file for divorce. This makes no sense to me. Why should I leave my side chick if she's not willing to leave hers, She's got a lot of nerves. What should I do? Well, hey, stupid, let me talk to your dumb ass for just a minute. This makes no sense to me. What I tell you? What don't make no sense? What you tell a fault? Come on here, man, than man? Hello? What did you tell your wife you was having a family with a younger chick once a week? What possibly could have made you go into damn house and make that stupid ass announcement? You just pissed off every body living. Dass, walk in the house and who do that? Who do that? Who walks in the house and go? Excuse me? I got a younger chick on the side that I see once a week. This whole letter, it just fell apart. It don't make no sense. It's when he said he had this girl he see once a week and said we both keep your secrets. And then your stupid asked right the next line, I told my wife all about my chick on the side, and she got very upset. Guess what he said after that. She got a lot of nerves. Hold to hold up, excuse me, stop, she got a lot of nerves. She got a lot of nerves. What now, I understand, But that's what you say to yourself. You don't say that out live. So let me just explain to you. What should I do is the question. Listen to me, y'all. This is not a marriage. This is not what this is. You all have some type of swinger type of arrangement that neither one of you agreed to, but both of you I'll participate in. So, brother, you don't have a marriage. You have an arrangement, that's all. This is what you're tripping for your marriage over. She got the chick on the side and you got a chick on the side. So what you're going tit for? Tat now? She got a chick. You get a chick. So now what you're gonna do if she go get a dude? Hello, let's make this announcement. She gotta do it. I wouldn't got me a dude. Y'all playing too much.

All right, coming up, our last break of the day and some closing remarks from the one and only Steve Harvey. At forty nine minutes after right after this, you're listening to Steve Harvey Morning Show. All right, Steve, here we are our last break of the day. It's been a good day. Still happy to have him back and everything. Yeah. Yeah, Oh, I learned on this trip. Um. I do a lot of meditating during my time, mof man, I really do. I try to rejuvenate and get my spiritual connection to God tighter. I think this was probably the best for me ever. I really really opened up more to God's presence. I really really focused on my spirituality as a person. Now, listen, I'm just gonna be honest with you. You know, I still ain't got it all right. But I'm okay with that, because guess what, ain't nobody got it all right? So I'm okay with who I am. But I did improve a great deal over the break because I spent a lot of time meditating out on that water man and it's such a spiritual awakening. And I just wanted to share a couple of things. A lady on my job who's uh, you know, she's really really just a great Christian. You know, she prays for us on the set and everything, and you know she she kind of so in tune to all of us. You know, mister Harvey, Okay, today you seem trouble, I'm gonna pray for you. Stuff Like, just really really names Jennifer nicely. She runs sound on family Field. And she brought me a gift for my birthday, or daily devotional that I read every day and really really man put it into focus for me and change some things. And one of the things I had learned about was how worry affects a person. And see, worry is so is such a wasted form of energy because worrying, especially when when it comes to tomorrow, a lot of us have a lot of energy directed into worrying about tomorrow. And what I learned from this daily devotional of that is one of the major waste of time and energy simply because there is absolutely nothing you can do about tomorrow. That's not to say that you shouldn't plan for tomorrow. That's not what it's saying, but it is talking about the wary of tomorrow, because it often the Scriptures says something to the effect that even by worrying, you cannot add one hour to your life. So if by worrying you can't add an hour to your life, why are you worrying about the rest of it? You can't even you can't even get extra time on a planet by wearying. So the rest of it is so minute and mascule it doesn't make any sense. So here's what happens and worry. What I learned was God actually created us to be able to master time instead of having time master to us. And one of the ways he does it is he gives us this thing called a day, and in this day, that is what we are designed to cope with and we can handle just today. We are built an equipped to deal with today. That's why he created the Lord's prayer the way he do the way he did our Father, who are in heaven, how will be thy name, thy kingdom called Thy will be done? Give us this day our daily bread. Now here's what I had to learn. The reason that section is into prayer is because you're supposed to ask for the strength, the wisdom, the guidance and understanding for today, not tomorrow today, because we are creatures that he built, and he wants us to master time and not have time master us. The only way to master time is you gotta take these days. And he's broken it down into two segments, day and night. Night comes for the majority of us that's not working, night shifting all that night comes to give us a rest for what happened to us in the day. So he broke it down into two segments. You got a segment of the day where you're working, and you got a segment of the day where you're recuperating. That's what we were designed to cope with. If you add tomorrow, next week, the week after, next summer, when you put that on your shoulders, what you've done is you've overburdened yourself for no reason at all, because we are simply not built for that. You cannot handle anymore than what's happening today. And if you place more on you than today, you're overburdening yourself. You're wearing yourself down. And now, instead of mastering time, time is mastering you. And that's one of the biggest things I learned on this break, to release myself from the wary of tomorrow and ask God for my daily bread so I can make wise decisions today, so I can listen more intently to His instructions for today and use him more as my companion and my guide. And that right there is how you manage your day. That's the best thing I learned. I hope I explained it the right way, but that's the best way that I found to put it. And it changed me so much. Man, by not worrying because simply, guess what, ain't nothing you can do now? I got to check myself every now and then because something happened today while I started worrying about when I get back what I got to do. Wait a minute, hold of man, why am I worrying about when I get back what I got to do? Because guess what, it ain't here yet. Now I have once again, let me reiterate before it's misunderstood. I'm not saying you're not supposed to plan, have hopes, dreams and visions. You do. But I'm just saying, for today, you gotta get through today. If you do it that way, give us this day a daily breath. That part of the pair prayer is important for all of us. Use it. It'll make your day go hoole, last smooth. You might get off that hype of the pressure medicine. Those are my closing your laws to drop it for all. Steve Harvey contests No purchase necessary, void where prohibited.
