Y'all know what time of y'all don't know y'all have a suit looking back to back down, giving them more like the milking buck things in the cubbing me true good it Steve hastening to the movie together for Steve Clesey, I don't join join me? You doing me? Honey. You gotta turning to you gotta turn to turn them out. Turn you got to turn them out. Then turn the water the water go. Come come on, huh, I show will a good morning everybody, y'all listening to the voice, Come on, dig me now, one and only Steve Harvey Man got a radio show. How good is God? Hum? Think about it? Just take a slight inventory of your own life and say it to yourself when you get through, how good is God? Think of all the small things, all this because that's him. You breathing, that's him. You still him. That's him. You got another chance, that's him. You ain't out of him. That's him. You got any measure of health, that's him. You think it's more to it than it really is, that it already showed up to be. That's him. All of that. You got any dreams of aspirations, you dream of other things. That's him all that, that's him. That's him him close you got, that's him every time you eat. That's why they had this thing called you say your grace. That's him. That's him, man, that's him. It's amazing when you take a small inventory how you find out how big God really is in your life. Now, the more you turn yourself over to him, the bigger he can be. For you. See, he'll only be as big as you let him. It's one thing about God. Now, he's a gentleman. He can make you do anything. You know, you get too big for him, you know you you you, you lose your humbleness. He can humble you. Now. God created man with the power of choice. We're the only creature he created that. He gave us the total power of choice. When we mate, who we mate with. You know everything, all of it. Man. It's the choice what we want to be, how much we want to make, where we want to live, what climate we want to live in. We can live in cold climates, high climates. You know, we speak different languages. You can go learn another language. A bear can't do nothing but be a bail He can't go learn how to be a fox. He can't go learn how to be an otter. He just can't. An ostrich is an ostrich man. He can't come out of here and fight like a lion. A lion is a lion. A lion eat meat. He can't eat vegetables. I don't care how much meat ain't around. He'll lay down and pull up out of here and die because he can't eat grass. He just a lion man. You understand this that God gave us. We are the one creature he created that has total power of choice. You can make every decision in your life. What kind of watch you like? That's the one you can buy. You want to live in Switzerland, go ahead. You don't like Switzerland, you can move to Miami. You want to live your life a crime, go ahead. That's you. He gave you the power of choice. You want to do right? Come on, So now look at this thing. We are all the results of a series of decisions that we have made. If we could just identify that the problem is us, we could began the solution. See that's the problem, y'all, it's us. It's what we do. I threw my life down the hill. I can't tell you how many years based on some decisions that I was making. Now I can justify my decision with I wasn't happy and I was doing this and I was in misery, and y'all on that, ye yes to you when you get through. You made the decisions though, and you can look at this anywhere you want to, y'all. But at the end of the day, I'm just talking to people that's really really wanting to improve their position in life. And how do you do that? You got to have a solution. How do you come up with a solution. You got to identify the problem to even began to solve it. But if the problem ain't ever you, how you gonna solve something that ain't you? See? Okay, let me look at this one. If somebody said, like I got a child of mine, man, I just do right here. Man, I don't even wanna get into it this morning, or I'm struggling with this this boy. But man, you go to people, you're asking why they do so? I just I just wasn't taking care of business. Why I just didn't take care of business? Boy, do you understand that your life is gonna be filled with you got to take care of business? So when you're gonna start, you know what I mean? You can't, you can't. You can't go through life blaming everybody. It's got to be you. See, you can fix you. You can't fix nobody else if you keep getting married and the marriages don't work. Hello, Hello, Hello? Could it be you? South? Finally had to sit down and just make that decision. Ain don't need me coming on the radio talking about nobody else and what they did to me, and y'all just don't know, no, no, no, man, what about the part you played at it? Because see, if you got a good marriage, you got a part to play in that. If you got a bad one, you got a part to play in that. Even if it just get down to you the one pick them, how about that? Mister? Mister I made a decision. So you know, man, once you cannot start identifying the problem, you can get on with the solution. The problem is usually within yourself. Do you know? That's the quickest, an easy way to fix your life. Fix yourself that way, you ain't got to check with nobody. Here's the beauty of going on and admitting that is you. You don't have to check or clear it with nobody to start the repair process. You don't need anybody's permission. You ain't got to put it before the review board to see if it'll pass. It ain't got to go through Congress. You ain't got to hope that you're or local politician get their hands on it to make a phone call for you. You ain't got to ask any counselors to come in and sit with you. You don't have to check it into rehab. All you got to do is decide the problem is me, I'm gonna start changing me. Identify the problem and start with the part that you can own up to. Man, that's the deal, y'all it really is, And see when you Once you identify the problem, then all you got to do is start to plan it. Once you identify the problem, you can start planning on how to fix it or how to get to accomplishing something. But remember this planning is important. If you fail to plan, then please plan to fail. If you fail to plan, then guess what. Please plan to fail. It cannot go any other way. If you don't know how to make a plan, Let's just start with the basics. Just make a list of what you want. If you don't know how to make a plan. I bet you know how to make a list of things you want. Make this list and then go to God in prayer with an open mind and open your mind up to all the clean opportunities that are available here. Why a lot of people won't succeed because certain opportunities come along you don't want to do them. That kills me. Man, when I hear here, I ain't doing that. I know young comedians that come to me all the time talking about man with you not saying, Man, just take every gig you can, no matter what they pay. Well, listen to me, son, you can go make that money that they pay, or you can make the decision to sit at home and make no nobody it's a comedy, hard business. They ain't paying but one hundred dollars. You got to drive, drive fifty miles. But if you drive fifty miles and you make a hundred and you stand on that stage for thirty minutes, you are now thirty minutes better than you was the last time you went on stage. Oh, Man, you ain't man, they don't pay me, I ain't coming. You ain't going to be a comedian, man, not not not like this. Hell, A lot of people just don't want to do what's necessary to do. So when the opportunity presents itself and you open up your mind to it, man, then get ready to go on and do it. Man. You know so remember, come on, y'all, identify your problem today. Identify your problem today, and start with the part of it that's you you can fix you immediately identify your problem today, start with the part you're listening and everybody, it is Friday. You're listening to the baddest morning show in the entire world, in the world, in the entire world.

She says, she lets him know everything. Yeah, she told people. Now that he's known every date I've been on. I have so much respect for him, and this breakup wasn't bad. It didn't end badly. We don't do bad things to each other. He's still close with my family. This arrangement does not go both ways though. Check this out. John, on the other hand, does not talk to Nikki about his dates because, as she says, I do have the jealous bone. At least she can admit it, right, all right, So this is crazy. We broke up.

Coming up in twenty minutes, guys, our friend, actress Regina King, will be our special guest. She's going to tell us about the movie If Beale Street Could Talk, but first in Entertainment News. Yeah, that's real nice. Can't wait for that. Gladys Night, we'll sing the national anthem before Super Bowl fifty three. Now, at least they got somebody who's ki yes, yes, Yes. The rock and Roll Hall of Famer that is Gladys Night and seven time Grammy Award winner will at a hometown connection when the Big Game has played February third at Mercedes been Stadium in Atlanta. Gladys says she's proud to use her voice to unite and represent our country in her hometown of Atlanta. The NFL recently announced their new social justice platform, Inspired Change, and she says she's both honored to be a part of its inaugural year. She's the latest in a parade of pop legends who sung the anthem at previous Super Bowls that includes Scherer, Ritha Franklin, Diana Ross and Whitney Houston, Tanska Dana Rossa, Diana Ross. She did have time. So, Carlo, you have some more entertainment news from the reality TV world. What's going on with Greg Luke Greg Leeks. Well, you know what, We know that Greg leaks, Shirley, Tommy Junior, and Jay. He's in the fight for his life, you know. Yeah, and we know that Nini, his wife, has been right there by his side as the battle's stage three of colon cancer. But there was something that happened between them. We don't really know what went down between the two of them, but it was bad enough that I guess that Greg felt like he had to go to social media to apologize to Nini. He posted this beautiful picture of his wife and with the caption, we always hurt the ones we love because they allow us to hurt them rather than snap back. So he went on to say that he's tired of hurting her because she deserves more for her hard efforts and tireless hours spent on me. And then Greg finished up the caption saying, I pray to God to get it together. She's done no wrong. This is all on me. Cancer will change your life. So while Greg hasn't you know, specified what he's apologizing for, another post kind of hinted that he's been mean to the doctors and to his wife, and so he is asked for forgiveness from his wife and from America. And he had a hashtag that included hashtag never been here before and hashtag I'm scared too. So that man, we gotta pray for Greg. Yeah, prayer of healing for Greg and yeah, yeah, cancer is an emotional disease. It's tough. It's tough, but we're praying for the Leeks. And that's big of him, everything he's going through. He comes back and realizes that he's hurt his wife in some sort of way, and it takes a big man to do that. Yeah, yes, yeah, so big apologize publicly? Yeah, publicly? Wow, Because I didn't know what was going on. I heard about it and I said, what is this about? So I got some information about it. So again, people can be very mean and you have to forget. Yeah, yeah, you know, yeah, and it's just a way to snap out, and they snap out that the person that's there, you know, yes, trying to help them. That is so true, Jay, I mean, you know, it's a indication the pain and all of that emotions that they're going through. So you're right, you're right. But we're gonna pray for the Leek's family. Got this great prayers of healings going up, hanging the great All right, we're gonna switch gears now.

Shirley came back Grant and rave about it. It's called If Bill Street Could Talk and it's projected to have a huge presence at this year's Oscar's Award. So let's talk to the start of the movie. Please, welcome to the show, everybody with her acting, Miss Regina King. I still watch the seven. Wow. Congratulations. First of all, we have to say Regina on winning the Golden Globes and Critics Choice Award for Best Supporting Actress Man oh Man. Yeah, pretty exciting, I'll say, uh yeah, you know what, I have to be honest with you, Regina. When I first heard the title of Beal Street to Talk, I thought it was going to be about Bill Street in Memphis. Yeah. Well yeah, I mean, you're not the only one. I think when James Baldwin wrote the book was saying that there's a Bill Street in every city. Yeah, you know, because the movie takes place in Harlem, and the book story actually takes place in Harlem. So there is a version of a Bill Street in Harlem, Ma, in La wherever you are, that's your version of a Bill Street. Yeah. Your role in this movie it was just, I mean fantastic. You played that loving mother, that mother that never gives up, that believes in her children, that loves her husband, and just just family and I love that about the movie. And you won these awards. How does that make you feel, Regina? Well, I mean, and I'm not going live. Winning always feels good. Of the one hundred yard Dash or a Golden Globe award. It's especially exciting because for us, James Baldwin is like a Shakespeare of our time. You know. He we read his essays, we watched his interviews, and he just was always such a passionate person and always spoke for us so well and captured the Black American experience so well. So to be in a project that's bringing younger people to his words, knowing the history of James Baldwin and what he means to us, that's that's an honor. I mean, this is the first American adaptation of James Baldwin novel and I get to say that I was in it, like that's kind of badassya. Hold on, guys, we'll have more with Regina King at thirty four after the hour. You're listening, all right, Steve, we just love the movie. If Beale Street could talk, our girl, actress Regina King is here. He's gonna tell us more about the movie and happy belated birthday to you. By the way, Regina, before we get too far into the interview, your birthday was earlier this week, right, Oh yeah, January fifteen, or you got to go Luther King, girl. See look at you. You better know girl, you Luther King, Mark Luster King and Regina King. You know, if I'd have been in school out of head that lie working I did. I did. It lasted for about three years and then the jig was up. I got caught. That's but yeah, I used to use I used to say that he was my uncle. And you know, this is how I knew I was going to be actor. I would actually sad in school. You know. My teacher would be like, it's your birthday, that's wrong, and I would say, well, it's also my uncle's birthday. And I was like, who's your uncle? And I was like the main, great old girl. He tried to birthday a holiday, and we get a lot of resistance from the government. Oh yeah, I would go, oh, and I have to do any work, no tests, nothing, yes. And it lasted like two years. And my mom came to pick me up one day and I was outside playing for a square and I looked in the when it's like you're not like you could feel when your parents are looking at you. Yea yes. And I turned around and saw her looking at me like, oh, you're gonna get in the school talking to the teacher, just looking at the wind that that was a gool. No. I'm proud of you. That's why there's so much Oscar buzz about your Regina King and and your role as Sharon and if Bill Street could talk. A great cast in this movie. Um, we got to see newcomer Kiki Lane do an amazing job as your daughter. What a great young actress she is. She plays Trisi in the movie, as as well as Stefan James, who started as Fannie in the movie. So, I mean, what was it like working with these young up and coming actors. It was a treat because both Stefani Kiki are They're not in this to be celebrity. They're like, they are truly artists. They are actors. They study, they do their homework, they are professional and you know, you always are kind of you You're hesitant when you come into something and you know you're gonna have young talent, you don't know how serious they're gonna take it. And they understood the responsibility that they had, and they held each other up. They were just amazing partners for each other. It was It was a joy to watch. I cannot wait to see what else Kiki is gonna do. Her next film is Native Sun. So that's how serious she walked about. Why. Yeah, yeah, she's coming for it like that. Yeah. I really did feel the love between this young couple. You really felt it between them. So we look for great things from them. But Regina, we're so happy that you know, you took the time to just stop by and say hey to us. Anything else you want to tell people that haven't seen the movie, If Bill Street can talk, I just encourage people to go out because this is just not only a love story between a young couple, but if you see the love for a five that a father has for his daughter, you see the love that Coleman character and I that we have for each other, and you don't often get to see that, especially for pieces that are period pieces that take place. You know, this takes place in nineteen seventy, and you get to see us loving on each other. You get to see sisters loving on each other, and especially for young women, to see how a young man is supposed to care for them, yes, and love them with care. It's a beautiful thing to see. Hey, y'all, listen, If Bill Street could Talk is in theaters right now. When you go to the theater, make sure your ticket has if Bill Street could Talk on it. Do not accept anything else. If they try to give you another ticket. Get management up to the window so we can get credit for these movies. Best thing to do is to order the tickets online. That way, there ain't no trouble you walk in with you're receiving. That's it. If Bill Street could talk start one of the great ones out there. I'm telling you, this girl can really go. Man, she got the child. Regina King. We love you, girl, I love you back, appreciate you by congratulations on everything girl. Up next, it is a nephew with the prank phone call.

Here Stephen Shirley, I am keeping a secret from my sweetie, and I need your advice. When I was eighteen years old and a senior in high school, I was in love with a beautiful girl who was eighteen and went to a neighboring school. We were each other's first everything. Our puppy love ended when we went away to college. I got a good job and got married right after college, and by the time I was thirty seven, I was divorced and I got a job transfer back to the city I grew up in. Shortly after I moved back, I ran into my high school sweetheart. We had both matured in good ways, she was single and still looked as good as she did twenty years ago. We started dating and now we are inseparable. It's been two years and I want to marry this woman. We spend a lot of time around each other's family, and everyone thought we were perfect for each other until my great aunt Doreen came to visit and started snooping around. Aunt Dorene said, my girlfriend looked familiar as she went and dug up an old, dusty picture of our family tree. Aunt Doreen told my parents and I that the love of my life is the great granddaughter of one of my grandfather's first cousins. I was like, say what. I didn't want to believe it, but the proof was there. I promised my family that I would break the news to my girl, but I don't know how to tell her that we are such distant cousins that it seemed pointless to break up over it. But I must admit that I am worried about the gene pool being too close and us having a child with problems. If you know what I mean, how do I break the news to her? We risk it all and stay together? Wow? Oh boy, I mean, excuse me? This is something I don't I mean, the great granddaughter of one of your grandfather's first cousins, I don't even know if you guys are still really related. I mean the bloodline. I don't know. I mean this is I don't even know if you guys are still related. Honestly, I mean, I guess somewhere, way, way, way, way, way way down the line. You know, there may be a drop of blood or something, you know, in your veins or something. But um, I would tell her, I would just be straight up and tell her. But I would, you know, take one of those ancestry tests or something and find out for sure if you guys are really related, or is Aunt Dereene just being messy and uh, you know it's her life's miserable or something. This this is a tough one because I don't know. I just don't know the great granddaughter of my grandfather's first cousins. First of all, you have to sit her down and you have to tell her. And then from there, you guys got to work on this together. And I don't know if that means stay together. I just don't know. Should you risk it all and stay together? No, not without finding out more information, and that's all I have, Steve, it ain't really nothing to have in this letter. It's all in the family. Let's start with fat assn't say you know already. I'm telling you right now, old big bitter ass, ain't don't wory, and it came in here. Ain't got nobody, ain't happy, don't want nobody else to have No damn body. That's all. This is the set up in here, You don't. We were dating this girl in high school, everything everything, puppy love y'all. Went away to college. It ended, got a good job, got married right at college. By the time you was thirty seven, that's nineteen years later, you was divorced, got a job, transferred back to the city you grew up in. You moved back. You ran into her. You had both matured and good ways. She was single and still looked like she did twenty years ago. Lord him Mercy jack Pot. We started dating and now we're inseparable. It's been two years, and I want to marry this woman. We spent all kinds of time around each other, family, everybody thought we were perfect for each other until my great aunt Doreene bought hub Ass into town and it started snoop noll, steve nothing, you don't see that in there now, Ain't Dorene ain't got nothing else to do, and said, my girlfriend looked for million. She went and dug up an old, dusty picture of our family tree. Now, hold on, you spent a lot of time around each other's family, and everybody thought he was perfect for each other. You've been around her family, she's been around your family. Ain't nobody said nothing to old Doreene came in to say that it says it right there and if you read carefully now, everybody he tried to say it unto my great aunt you ain't nobody your great aunt, that's what he that's shot to my grid. Ain't Doreene came to visit and started snooping around, Ain't Doreen saying, my girlfriend looked familiar, dug up old dusty picture of my family tree. Ain't Dereene told my parents and I that the love of my life. Now listen to me, y'all. It's the great granddaughter of one of my grandfathers first cousins. Going on, I can't even track that, na, what is that? Let me let me show it again. The love of your life is the great granddaughter. Now, when you're the great granddaughter, that means that one of her grandfathers is the great granddaughter of one of her grandfather's first cousins. What I know, it's too much boy, that's so far in the line. And you know how you get to be cousins? You marry somebody else. What you got to marry somebody else? See to have a cousin, A cousin don't have to be You can marry a cousin and be called a cousin. You follow what I'm saying. Yeah, yeah, you can be a cousin because you're married in or like a niece and nephew that on her uncle. Come on, now, you know how family laws? Yeah yeah, I was like, save what. I ain't want to believe it, but the proof was right there. All right, all right, Steve, we're gonna have part two of your response coming up at twenty three after the hour's subject all in the family. Right there right after this you're listening to. All right, Steve, come on, let's recap today's Strawberry Letters subject all in the family. This dude ran up in his old high school sweetheart. After nineteen years of being away, got a divorce, got transferred back to the city. He grew up and ran up into the high school. Sweetheart, she still single, looking good as she did twenty years ago. They started dating and not in seven It's been two years. Man, I want to marry this woman. We spend all time together with each other's family. Everybody thought we'd perfect each other in Ain't Doreene can't attell? Would you stop? I'm telling you? She big goes out of that church, had her own you know, still care bible. That's her said of being him. Man, ain't Dereen saying my girlfriend looked familiar. She wouldn't dig up an old, dusty picture of our family tree. Ain't Doreen told my parents? And now that the love of my life is the great granddaughter of one of my grandfathers first conusins Now we can't even track this. No, I don't even know how to say it to you. That's so damn crazy. And then the dude say, I would like say what I ain't want to believe it? But the proof is right there. My question is right, Well, this old ass picture, this is all that picture? She ain't in it. I promise my family that I would break the news to my girl, but I don't know how to tell her that we are such distant cousins that it seems pointless to break up over it. But I must admit that I'm worried about the jene pool too close and us having a child with problems, if you know what I mean? How do I break the news to it? Should I risk it all and stay together? Well, first of all, I don't think there's no reason to break up. I think you should go in there and set your girl down. Do some research, go over the facts. You're gonna find out that y'all are so far away that actually it's legal for y'all to marry. Because y'all so far away, man, that it y'all ain't really related and you could be somebody's cousin just by marriage. Yeah see, but your big old aren't up in here. She don't want to bring now that she just want to destroy bigg Now, I understand you, you admitted, but dumb, you've gotta tell your girl. You gotta tell her you're right and just sit down and say this is what came up. You gotta tell her now, you know, look if you know and it's like this. If you tell everybody that the news came from big As, ain't dareen. Ain't nobody gonna believe you? No, damn how much mess ain't durn you started in the family. You got to deal with her, you know what I mean? Lies is woman and tone. She by herself. She's single. That's why she had time to dig up that old dust dass photo because she ain't number photos left in a light. Everybody else to left her. But you know what to steve? How many times? Have a lot of times people who aren't related at all, they get married or they're in a relationship and they start to look like each other. So it could just be a coincidence. You know that they look alike? Surely, what haven't you ever heard somebody? I have never heard anybody say that. You guys have been going together so longer, Mary, so long as you start, Yeah, you starting to look alike. I've been with Margie long as town. We don't do nothing alike. No, you don't know. You don't look like Phraise the Lord. No, a moment she started looking like me. This definitely listen to me. The votes number three. Right after that, she started looking like I'm walking clean up this moment. But just to let you know that is a thing though some people, you know. Yeah, well I tell you what, it bed not be a thing up him day Margie started, this is over. That's funny. Yeah, that can't happen. Surely I heard what you said for that. Praise God. That can't have them up in here. We can start acting like each other a little bit. Uh huh. Sitting up there out there on vacation, trying to smoke a cigar. Yeah, to date, it's the first day that I'm smoking a cigar. Because they throw on a birthday party. Okay, and you all are invited, look at it. It's just supposed to be family.

Wait till you hear this. You're listening to show well guys, Cardie B. Yeah, I'm talking rapper. Cardi B. Yeah, had some thoughts on the government shutdown herself, which at the twenty seven days is now the longest shutdown in government history, in US history. It really really is. I mean I really feel for these people now they're having to make choices between paying for daycare, paying their card notes. One woman had to make a choice between paying her mortgage and paying for her chemo treatment she's got, Yeah, stage three breast cancer. This is really serious. You know, it's affecting people in ways you wouldn't even think of ordinarily. Yes, this same, Yeah, it really is. I mean people are making all kinds of choices between you know, do we eat or do we pay our car note? You know. And on a really more serious note, Yeah, there was a woman who had stage three breast cancer. She had to choose between paying her paying for her chemo treatments and paying for her kid's daycare. Things like this. I mean, it's seriously, you know, it's affecting people in ways that she would never think of ordinarily. But Cardi B shared a passionate message via Instagram. This was a video yesterday afternoon. She criticized President Trump. Take a listen, Hey, y'all, I just want to her mind yet, because it's been a little bit over three weeks. Okay, it's been a little bit over three weeks. Trump, it's now ordering, as in, summonsing federal government workers to go back to work without getting paid. Now. I don't want to hear y'all talking about all, but Obama shut down the government for seventeen days. Yeah, for healthcare, so your grandma could check a blood pressure and you gonna check your colleges were no problems. Now. I know a lot of y'all don't care because y'all to work for the government, or y'all paly don't even have a job. But this is really serious, bro, This is crazy, Like our country's in a hellhole right now, all for wall and we really need to take this serious. I feel like we need to take some action. I don't know what type of action because this is not what I do. But I'm scared. This is crazy, and I really feel bad for these people that gotta go to work to not get paid. Yeah that's you speak. Yeah, you know what I'm worried about. What I'm worried about because we're already there desperate measures. When people get to a certain extent where it's like this, you don't know what they're gonna do. Man, anything can start happening where it just it becomes like all place, you're doing what you gotta do to survive, and now you can get crazy. Did he say like the purge, I'm just asking like the purch not the purge, Jake, come on, don't Yeah, the foovie, the purse, pillaging and stuff one night one night. Yeah, but if you go, you're going to survival mode. Man. Yeah. But you know what time it before, before they shutdown, there were a lot of people already making choices about their medication and about cheating for themselves because it just didn't have the money. And this is just making it worse. And Trump don't give a damn. He just don't give no he's already said he's not backing down, and I hate that he said that, and I just this is terrible. I hate where we are as a country right now. You know, listen to the American people. They don't want the wall. You want the wall. They don't want the wall. They want they want border security. Yes, but those are two different things. I'm gonna try to get y'all as something on a little light of note. Okay, Carla, Okay, we haven't heard it yet. All right. So I got this meme today that said the government better start paying TSA agents. Oh oh wow, yeah wow, But you know what it's I was gonna bring up the TSA agents, Tommy, because you know, this is really serious. They are calling in sick. Yeah, they're calling in sick because they don't want to work without pay.

We'll be back with more of the Steve Harvey Morning Show right after this. You're listening to show. Donald Trump's former lawyer, Michael Cohen paid someone fifty thousand dollars back in twenty fifteen to rig online poles and tip them in Donald Trump's favor. Now, this is according to a Wall Street Journal article. John Gouger, the owner of tech company Red Finch Solution, says that Cohen offered him the money to manipulate two news sites poles to make sure it looked like Trump was leading. He claims that Cohen handed him a bag containing twelve thousand dollars during a meeting at Cohen's office and promise to pay him the remainder at a later date. But guess what he never did, never did Yeah, that sounded like Trump. Yeah, so the guy rigged the poles thinking he was gonna get fifty thousand dollars, only got twelve and that was it. Shortly after the Wall Street Journal published the story, Cohen confirmed it on Twitter, writing, as for the WSJ, as for at WSJ uh the article on pole rigging, what I did was at the direction of, and for the sole benefit of, at real Donald Trump at potus. I truly regret my blind loyalty to a man who doesn't deserve it. Wow, heine sight when he said that at real Donald Trump, right yeah, that's Twitter's Yeah, let's see all of them people wrong though, he wronged for rigging it. They are supposed to be going to jail. Yeah yeah, yeah, and he never got it though. Yeah, he didn't did it. He did it, He definitely didn't. He didn't get paid though. What what did Jay say? You know, you know who was us on television? Jack? Wait, okay, tell me you go first? Then Jay? What you know? Who was just as ignorant as we are? But they're on TV man Jack Barkley and Kenny Smith and me Kens hitting each other, knocked me yeah, yeah, yeah, But back to co window. Yeah, Canary. It seems like, yeah, he's telling it all. He appears to be uh, he appears to just be deterred and to take Trump down. It's like he's not going down without a fight, and he's not gonna, you know, take all this on without you know, naming names. He's also trying to paint himself as a victim who was just doing what he was told. Part of that's true, part of that's not true. Part of part of it was he knew he was a fixture a victim at all. He was getting paid to be dirty. Yeah, he was a fixture, was illegal. Knew what knew, right, But he didn't He didn't know that he was going to get turned in and turned on. I know he was going to get left behind the scene. Did Yeah, he didn't know he was going to have a number on his shirt. He didn't know that. He didn't know that part, right. He was sentenced last month for three years in federal prisons for three years in federal prison for tax evasion, campaign finance violations, and lying to Congress. Before he goes to jail, though, Cohen will testify before the House Oversight Committee, and I'm sure he's gonna spe some more stuff during that test. Shank in two dollars, I love you. Okay, we'll be back with more of again right after this. You're listening, Gladys Knight, we'll sing the national anthem before Super Bowl fifty three.

She did have ton So, Carlo, you have some more entertainment news from the reality TV world. What's going on with Greg Luke Greg Leaks? Well, you know what, We know that Greg Leaks, Shirley, Tommy Junior, and Jay. He's in the fight for his life, you know. Yeah, and we know that Nini, his wife, has been right there by his side as the battles stage three of colon cancer. But there was something that happened between them. We don't really know what went down between the two of them, but it was bad enough that I guess that Greg felt like he had to go to social media to apologize to Nini. He posted this beautiful picture of his wife with the caption we always hurt the ones we love because they allow us to hurt them rather than snap back. So he went on to say that he's tired of hurting her because she deserves more for her hard efforts and tireless hours spent on me. And then Greg finished up the caption saying, I pray to God to get it together. She's done no wrong. This is all on me. Cancer will change your life, and so he is asked for forgiveness from his wife. Hashtag never been here before and hashtag I'm scared too. So yeah, man, we gotta pray for Greg. Yeah, prayer of healing for Greg and yeah, yeah, cancer is an emotional disease. It's tough. It's tough, but we're praying for the Leaks fan And that's big of him, everything he's going through. He comes back and realizes that he's hurt his wife in some sort of way, and it takes a big man to do that. Yeah, yes, yeah, So acologize publicly, Yeah publicly? Wow, Because I didn't know what was going on. I heard about it and I said, what it's this about? So I got some information about it.

And if they snap out, that the person that's there, you know, yes, trying to help them. That is so true, Jay, I mean, you know, indication the pain and all of that emotions that they're going through. So you're right, you're right. But we're gonna pray for the leak's family. Have you got this great prayers of healings going up hanging their greg All right, we're gonna switch gears now and national news guys. President Trump has fired back at House Speaker Nancy Pelosi a day after she asked him to postpone the State of the Union speech, citing the strain on security personnel during the government shutdown. Trump has canceled a troop abroad that Pelosi was scheduled to take on a military plane. In a letter to Pelosi, Trump says, due to the shutdown, I am sorry to inform you that your trip to Brussels, Egypt, and Afghanistan has been postponed. We will reschedule a seven day excursion when the shutdown is over. Come on. That's very petty, all right, Coming up our last break of the day, we're going to close out the show you're listening. Here we are last break of the day on this Friday. Steve, what do you have for us? Closing remarks wise today. Yeah, here's something that I think is very helpful to people, and it would to help you open yourself up to really what God truly can have for you. And the reason I'm saying that is because oftentimes we limit what God can do in our lives simply by the way we think and simply by our expectations. God has no He's limitless. You can't put him in a box. You can't put what God can do for you in the parameters of your thinking. What you've got to do is you've got to open up your mind so you can be open to all of His goodness and what He can do for you. And I'm saying that to say this because a lot of times people ask God and only think about stuff that they can see themselves attaining. Basically, with your check, there's a scripture that says you have not because you ask not. Well, then most people go, Lord, help me make my rent. And then I have to ask you, well, don't he always? Why would you not ask God for a mortgage? Well? Become a homeowner. Then here comes the thinking of man when you start putting in stuff like well, I don't make enough money, my credit score, I haven't been on my job long enough. I can't afford that. Therefore, why would I sit up and ask for that? See, you, you're knocking yourself out of so many blessings that God can have for you by your limited thinking. Because God has no limits, so you have to open up your mind, so you have to start thinking of things that is in your imagination. Why would you not ask God for a big house? You don't think that God got enough sense based on this scripture. You have not called your ass not Most people don't ask because they don't see no way. Didn't get it. You don't think that if you ask God for a big house, you don't think he got enough sense to make a way for you to get the house. You don't think that he knows that you need more money and that he know how to make a way for you to make more money. You don't think he got that part figured out. You think he needs your help figuring that out. You don't think that he know that if you got X amount of dollars your credit score. Really don't matter you don't think he know that. He know all of that, but you've limited to see what he can do and how you can move in your life because you won't think big enough. That is a book that changed my life. The name of the book is called The Magic of Thinking Big, and it's by David Schwartz. It's the Magic of Thinking Big, and I didn't understand this until I was selling Amway. Amway was one of the greatest periods of my life because it introduced me to positive books. It introduced me to self motivation and self help books, and those are really the only books I read outside of the Bible. I don't read anything. I don't read novels, love stories. Ain't got no time for that. But The Power of Positive Thinking about Norman Vincent Peale, Thinking Grow Rich by Napoleon Hill, The Magic of Thinking Big by David Schwartz. I have time to read that because The Magic of Thinking Big taught me something. It taught me that it does not require any more brain power to think big than it does to think small. It doesn't require anymore You ain't got to grunt. Look, you can say votes Wagon, or you can say Rose Royce. It doesn't your brain. Don't have to shift and burn most sales, and you gotta throw yourself into something to say Rose Royce versus Votswagon. It doesn't hurt more to say rent or mortgage. It doesn't hurt no more to say new card than used car. It doesn't hurt more to say hand me down. Then it cast such, then it cost you to say brand new. If you buy this book, The Magic of Thinking Big by David Schwartz, it's an amazing way. It changed my thinking in my twenties, and so I started thinking big. Once I started thinking big, I started opening up to the possibilities of God. Because God is big? Am I not right? God is big? So why would you get in the way of his bigness with your small mindedness. See, you're getting in the way of your blessings by the way you think. You keep thinking in terms of your paycheck. Get God ain't in your paycheck. Get out of your paycheck man, Get out of your current situations. Where you are is just temporary. God has another place for you. God got a great life for you, but you got to invite him in and let him show it to you. Quit wasting his time with this little bit of man, get out of your own way. You are in your way with your limited thinking. People ask me all the time, man, why are you always at the meetings? Why are you Why don't you just sit out and take your day off? Because I can't get where I'm going sitting down taking my days off. I'm about the business of becoming successful and happy. Now am I successful? Yeah? Am I happy? Yeah? Happier than I ever been? But I have everything I need. Can I tell y'all that I don't need nothing else? But I'm in the wrong side of life. I just won't. I'm not greedy. I'm not asking you to give me nothing. I'm willing to work for other things I want. I want to see how the other class of people live. I want to see what that's like. I want to see what it's like when my grandchildren's children will remember my name because I left them something, because I created a legacy that I put money away from my grandchildren and my children's children. That's what I'm working on. You can do that. God is capable. Get out your way. This is the book again, y'all. The Magic of Thinking Big by David Schwartz. Go By, go By, Just go by. The change the way you think. Just check it out. It's a really really great book. Those are my clothes remarks. Y'all have a great ken. I'm gonna get audio because I don't read that, so I have some ny nor can you see y'all have a great week here, ladies. For all Steve Harvey contests, no purchase necessary, void where prohibited.
