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 breathe as him, you steal 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, hot climates. You know, we speak different languages. You can go learn another language. A bear can't do nothing but be a bear. Is 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 miserying, y'all on that, 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 are 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. They don't need to be 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 in 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 you just get down to you the one pick them? How about that? Mister? Mister, I made a decision. The problem is usually within yourself. Do you know that's the quickest, an easy way to fix your life. 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 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 your 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 in the 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. 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 don't know how to make a plan, let's just start with the basics. Just make a list of what 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. I'm talking about. Man, what you're 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 nobody. It's a comedy, a hard business. They ain't paying but one hundred dollars. You gotta drive, drive fifty miles. But if you drive fifty miles and you make the 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 hill. 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, identify your problem today, start with the part dash you're listening to show.

We hung out all night and I got drunk enough to have sex with him in his car. We hung out all night and I got drunk. He had a condom and I thought he put it on, but he didn't. So I asked him to split the cost of a Plan B pill with me. He told me no, and he said he's sure. It's not the first Plan B pill I've bought. Because I gave up the booty real quick. I'm twenty two and I've never done anything like this. And I'm so embarrassed. We have a lot of mutual friends, so I hope he doesn't give me a bad reputation. Is there anyway I can fix this? No, but you do have to get your plan b pell and you need to quit warring about this idiot right here and your reputation. You did what you did. Let's stop blaming sex. Let's stop blaming drunk on sex. When you drunk, it just allows you to think less clearly, and you do what your thoughts tell you to do. You first of all, you need to stop drinking. Yeah, because you obviously don't know how to act when you're drinking. Now you're twenty two. Everybody's made these mistakes. You're not the baddest person in the world. Shake it off, recover, get up, take take your pill, and gone about your business. He thinks of you the way he thinks of you because you did what you did rather quickly, and that's how guys do. They're very judgmental. And you had sex in the car, didn't take much to get you there, So you've learned a valuable mistake right now, Quit righting in asking people about it. Stop that and gone fix your life. Get up, gone about your business, you had a condom on what you mean you thought? How drunk was you? Yeah? Sex couldn't have been good, really, but you gotta protect yourself. I mean, come on now, right, Yes, safe sex, behavior, pregnancy and all that, right, right, yes, because what do they call it? Birth control is not the morning after peel. Birth control extends far beyond that, and you're not protecting yourself from disease at all, right, all right? Cornell in Fort Myers, Florida, says, I'm a thirty one year old black man dating a twenty seven year old woman, and her family hates me because of my past. I've been convicted twice for selling drugs when I was in my twenties. But I have totally changed my life and I'm saved. I do personal security work and I'm a trainer at a gym, but her father doesn't cut me any slack. I hate to see my girlfriend stuck in the middle. I tried to talk to her parents, but they just don't get it. I'm starting to think maybe my girlfriend is better off without me. Should I fight for her? Well? Is she fighting for you? It's the questions that's the question. Is she fighting for you? Sometimes man, and let me tell you this, just because you want something and you want to be forgiven. God forgives your past, not people. So if if you've gotten yourself together and you saved now, then go on and be saved. This may not be the one for you.

Lebron James Junior is famous because of Lebron James Senior. Yes, please understand that he would just be another kid. And you know, so you know I ain't. I ain't mad at either one of them. You know you can't, Lebron still a great parent. You could be the best parent in the world, and your kids are going to do something that's counter to everything you've ever talked. Oh lord, you can be the best parent in the world, man, and do nothing to deserve some of the actions of your children because they're going to make decisions. And then the sad part about their decisions now it is us all attached to a post on what these stories is I learned. I learned more about my kids on stories than I do talking to the real But that's what social media does. Though it separates us, makes everybody you're not a parent. As kid goes total opposite of what you sit down and tell it. As I saw, how much you write it up, how much you put it on a black board, they will do the total opposite of what you're telling the right deliberately, right, hey dog. And until that happens to you, you don't even know what parenting is. I had to. I had to do it. That criticized one of my kids one time on social media a dude I know and openly came he framed us and gonna run his mouth. But see, like I like I said to this brother, your children, young dog, your children at your house. They ain't even teenagers yet. Whole tight. It's coming. Oh yes, it's coming, partner, So be careful throwing these rocks because you're in a glass house that ain't even finished getting built yet. So it's coming. Yeah. Uh. And we got to talk about this and other entertainment news. Eddie Murphy. We gotta say congratulations Eddie Murphy one his first Emmy, his guth role on Saturday Night Live. Oh my god. Yeah, that's the shame. Yes, all these years. Yeah, yeah, I'm happy for him. Yeah, all right, Steve, time for two day's latest headlines. Ladies and gentlemen, Miss Anne Trip, thank you, thank you, everybody. In good morning, everybody. It is Monday. Flags are flying at half staff. Lawmakers, even members of the entertainment world still paying tribute to the late Supreme Court Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg, who passed away on Friday of pancreatic cancer at age eighty seven. Justice Ginsberg's body is to Lion State of the Supreme Court for two days, and she's to be buried at Arlington National cemetery next to her late husband, former President Back Obama, Alexandrio Kazio Cortez, and Elizabeth Warren, joined by actors like Kerry Washington, Yarashahiti, even the Princess of Sussex, Meghan Markle taking to social media to honor the jurist legacy on women's rights. Democratic presidential candidate Joe Biden says, the nations should remember her fondly. My honor to preside over her confirmation hearing and in the decade since, she has been absolutely consistent and reliable in a voice for freedom and opportunity for everyone, and we should focus on the loss of the justice and her enduring legacy. Upon hearing of her death, Democrats raised some seventy one million dollars in campaign funds. Meanwhile, Donald Trump was wasting no time and insisting that the US Senate vote in another one of his right wing picks for the High Court. MAGA supporters agree that a Trump rally on Saturday in Fayetteville, North Carolina, chanting fill that seat, filled that seat, even though it's only about forty days to the election. And as you may remember, Republicans stopped President Obama from naming someone to the Supreme Court, that trimp before the trimp Clinton election. That GOP leader Mitch McConnell at that time claiming that the American public should be allowed to elect a new commander in chief before any High Court nominees would considered. That was not forty days away. That was two hundred days away, before the prudential presidential vote was to be taken, and they stopped President Obama anyway, So the GOP now singing a different tune. If you're asking whether this Republican Senate would confirm a member of the Supreme Court to a vacancy that created this year, yeah, we would fill it. I would support going ahead, even though it's a lame duck session. It is still a Republican president and still a Republican Senate. The President should nominate a successor to the Court, and I think it is critical that the Senate takes up and confirms that successor before election day. Well, while the Republicans singing a different tune, it's these days about the nomination of Supreme Court justice. Is today September twenty first, which has its own tomb. That's right, it's September twenty first, now back to the Steve Harvey Morning Show. You're listening, all right, Steve, it's time to take it away. This is you and your boy. Look here, Uh, me and Jay was going over some things that we need to bring y'all's attention. Uh. These are medical terms, and um. Medical terms are really complicated, y'all. And so that's why most people don't use medical terms. They'd like to talk in very simple terms. For an example, you know, now, Jay and I will give you some medical terms and then we'll tell you how what we say as to keep it simple, Yes, keeping a simple breaking it down. For instance, we don't say we're going to see the position. I can't even say that word. That's why we don't use it. We say, Steve, we're going to the doctor, right yosition, and we're going to the doctor. That's right, Okay, I got you. We don't say we don't say we take prescriptions. We don't say that that's complicated. What we say is what we take medicine. Red peels is for this, yalla. Peels is for this and Jay and then them. Diamond shape peels is for you know what the refrigerator. If you're going to refrigerator damn it. We're going to get it. Okay, that love it? I love it. Yeah. We don't say we see a rash or or infection. We don't say that. What we say is was the what's that thing on your neck? Do don't what you got? Dog? What? What? What? Why that like that? We we don't say. We don't we break it down. We don't say what is your temperature? We don't do that. We don't do that. What we say, Stean, why are you sweating so much? Oh? With you man? Going out of here with all that now and this big with him? We don't say the word ain't symptomatic. We don't use that word. What we say is what Steve, he got that thing? Got that thing? What the hell you mean? You ain't know you had? Hold up? Ja, Jay, let me ask you one. We don't say social distancing. That's not what we say. We don't say social distance. What do we say, Jay? Don't we say? Staniel? Ass over there? Keep burning back some more on the outside of the door and talk. Okay, that's what we see in the last one, Steven. We don't say, you'll cue it. What we say what we see it. We're a worried home. Thank you guys. Coming up. At thirty four minutes after the hour, Senator Mitch McConnell blocked obama Supreme Court choice, but he will not block Trump's pick. We'll talk about it right after this. You're listening to show well. Some sad news. M eighty seven year old Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg passed away on Friday. She was in her home surrounded by family. The cause of death was complications from pancreatic cancer. Justice Ginsburg served twenty seven years on the nation's highest court. She was picked by President Bill Clinton. She was a tireless champion for justice and fought for women's rights, and just days before her death, Justice Ginsburg dictated a statement to her granddaughter Clara, saying, quote, my most fervent wish is that I will not be replaced until a new president is installed. Unquote. President Trump has pledged to nominate a woman for the seat. Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell said, trump Supreme Court nominee will receive a vote on the Senate floor. So even though the election is only about forty three days away, they're going to forge ahead anyway. They're moving ahead with this nomination it's almost like they're rushing it through. They're rushing it through. Yeah, yeah, we are. We mourning her, you know, I mean, this was a powerful woman. You know, she changed the world for a lot of people. And we all remember back in twenty sixteen when Justice Scalia died and President Obama wanted to pick Merrick Garland. Remember, Mitch McConnell made the argument for not filling the seat because as it was an election year and voters, voters should decide which presidential candidate should pick the next justice. We all remember that. I don't apply now, don't maybe if it was a Republican to this. Yeah, he said it all, that's what happened. Yeah, he's he's with miss McConnell on this one. Now normally he is, so yeah, yeah, yeah, they've all flipped. They've all flipped. Uh. It is forty three days until the November third election. So we're urging you, urging you, like Michelle Obama said, our forever first lady, vote like your life depended on it.

All right, thank you, nephew. Subject watch what you say about my wife. Dear Stephen Shirley, I'm a thirty eight year old married man and I need your advice on how to handle my wife's ex boyfriend. We all go to the same church, and we started having Zoom service for those of us who don't want to physically go back to church yet. My wife was having trouble with our internet connection a few weeks ago and I noticed some of the members laughing. I wasn't sure if they were laughing at my wife, so I let it slide. After service, one of the ladies from the Zoom service called to tell me that my wife's ex boyfriend sent a group text saying my wife was never too bright and he wasn't surprised at her dumb ass couldn't get on zoom. I was furious and I wanted to talk to him, but the lady asked me not to. That same week, we had a food drive at the church, so my wife dropped off two bags of groceries at the church. She came to see me at work when she left the church, and she was upset. She said her ex boyfriend was working at the food drive and when she walked away from the group, she overheard him say that he was surprised she donated anything because she's cheap and selfish, my wife said. She turned around and said I heard you, and then kept walking because she didn't want to make a scene. My wife had a rocky relationship with this guy. They broke up five years ago after he cheated on her repeatedly. I have told my wife that going to the same church with him would be a problem, but she did not want to leave her church. So I got on the zoom this past Sunday and said, watch what you say about my wife. I'm sure everyone knew who I was talking to. That was a warning shot. He needs to be very careful from here on out. How should I handle this guy, Well, I say, you know, you've handled it quite impressively so far with your warning. That was your warning shot. You let the group know that you know what's up and you obviously don't play when it comes to your wife. Now that was the group warning. Okay, you can also let her X know by stepping to him personally. He disrespected your wife period. I mean he's obviously bitter and not over her and feels some kind of waste since she brought you to her church and you guys are happy. Now he's over it. Uh, she can't. I'm sure he can't stand seeing you guys together, or or feeling like everyone's talking. Look what you know, he messed up, Look what he missed. They're all happy now. Know he wishes he still had that. You know you're thinking that in your head that people are probably saying that, So your defense mechanism has kicked in. That's I'm talking to the guy now, and that's why you're putting her down and talking about her, you know, in front of everybody, because you feel some kind of way, you feel stupid that you let her go. Uh, she didn't want to change churches. I mean, after all, it's been five years since you guys broke up and you know you didn't. You didn't want her anyway. The guy didn't want her anyway the way he was cheating, obviously, So what's the big deal. I mean, this guy's a hater. Her ex boyfriend, who sounds like to me is about to get a beat down if he doesn't heed your warning. I think it's as simple as that, Steve Well. I mean, for me, it's very simple. Um, you know, all of what Shirley said is true. Um, but look, I'm gonna try to deal with the letter. I can cut this letter off so short. For me, this is very simple to me. I already know what I'm gonna do, so because um, you know. But but let's for the sake of the Strawberry letter, let's let's go through some motions here. Ye act like we're Christians, ye know, since we have to church service. You know you thirty eight needs some advice on how to handle my wife's ex boyfriend right there, handle him, handle his ass. And this high wind y'all started having zoom service. My wife was having trouble with our internet connection. I noticed some of the members laughing. I wasn't sure if they was laughing at my wife, so you let it slide. Then this lady always some messy ass churchmen call you and told you that her ex boyfriend sent a group text said my wife was never too bright and he wasn't surprised her dumbass couldn't get on zoom. I was furious and wanted to talk to him, but the lady asked me not to. We're too late to ask me not to Where too damn late to ask me not to talk to her? As soon as you told me that me and his ass got some business. Now I got to give you credit because you did man up, so I ain't mad at you. The same week, had a food drive at the church, dropped off two bags of groceries, came to work, said she was upset and said her ex brod friend was working at the food drive. She walked away from the group. She overheard him say that he was surprised she donated anything because she cheap and selfish. My wife says she turned around and said I heard you and kept walking because she didn't want to make a scene. That's beautiful. I think your wife handled it with grace and style as a lady. She didn't won't make a scene. I ain't got Grace's do and at no point in time do I ever have to act like a lady. So come on back and let's talk about the hoodway, Okay, coming up in twenty three minutes after the hour, we'll get back into this letter. The subject is watch what you say about my wife. We'll get into it right after this. You're listening, Come on, Steve, let's recap today's strawberry letter. Watch what you say about my wife. As a subject, they having the church zoom Uh, your man, your wife can't get on her ex talks about her in a group text her dumb man s ain't too bright, No way, can't get on zoom. A lady from the church text you and told you the reason they was laughing was he sent that group text out. You was FiOS. Wanted to talk to him, but the lady asked you not to. Okay, like I said before, lady can't ask me. Nothing too late to ask me. I'm already I'm on the phone now. A matter of fact, I'm probably in the car. So all this is too late. All this, don't talk to him too much. Same week here of food drive, your wife dropped off a couple of bags of groceries. He was there. She came to see you at work. She was upset, said her boyfriend was working the foods your ex boyfriend, and she walked away from the group. Shared him say that he was surprised she wrote it anything because she cheap and selfish. Your wife turned around and said I heard you, and then kept walking because she didn't want to make a scene. Not like I said, beautiful of your wife to hamlet, just that one. That's classy, that's a lady like That's how she should have happened. But see now she came to work and she told you she was upset. Nice time for you to do so. See now that you had ever, he's asking you to do something. The ex boyfriend is threatening you to do something. Now I know this church, but he didn't call my wife a dumbass during a text of a church zoom service. And you're gonna throw out the term dumbass, then you're gonna call my wife cheap and selfish behind her back. Now they broke up five years ago. He cheated on her repeatedly. I've told my wife that going to the same church with him would be a problem, but she didn't want to leave her church. Well, now once again, time for you to show your wife that this is a problem. See, everybody is asking you something. He's asking for something. What you told his wife just gonna be a problem. You told your wife is gonna be a problem. She didn't believe it. Well, now you got to you know, men, you got to show him. Everybody keep asking something. So I got on the zoom this past Sunday and said, watch what you say about my wife. This was beautiful. This, my man was beautiful. Congratulations, you stepped up to the plate. You let him and everybody know. Ha ha he he hailed. Giggle, giggle my ass. Chuckle chuckle? Who chuck a chuckle? What zoom? Got it got? Snicker? Snickle? What whatnow? All right? Watch what you're saying now, I'm sure everybody knew who I was talking to. That was a warning shot. Now I say it's time for more than a warning shot. Now that you fired the warning shot, he needs to be very careful from here on out. How should I handle this? Ain't I'm on he on out? See, you got to nip this in the bud. How I handle this? He needs to be very careful from here on out. I'm gonna make show his ass is careful here on out because this requires face to face. Now what you got to say to him is this, and you need probably need to be at the next church donation. Now see that way he posted, so he on zoom. See you can't handle this quietly. See sometimes you got to go public. See people are like to do stuff public. You know this this one. You know, everything got to happen after church. So now let's go over what got to happen.

And then the sad part about their decisions. Now it's all attached to a post on what these stories is I learned. I learned more about my kids on stories than I do talking to the real But that's what social media does. Though it separates us, makes everybody alone. It goes total you're not a parent. A kid goes total opposite of what you sit down and tell the heads. I saw you talk, how much you write it up, how much you put it on a blackboard, they will do the total opposite of what you tell them. All right, coming up, our last break of the day.

No, I had no idea that was Eddie's first Emmy. Yeah, I know. No, that's the shames. Mister Perry. You will always be mister Perry, always forever. I don't know who Tyler is. Here's a good time to play your show real quick, go ahead, y'all. Two episodes this week, Yours, Julie Jay, Anthony Brown, and a lot of other good people. Check it out right after that's it. You'll be calling him mister Perry for a long time, never stopped coming. Hey, y'all, listen, Uh we are. We're in a critical moment here in our history, in our country. I want to remind you all of something. We built this country, this country, the United States of amercle was built on the backs of slaves. Make no mistake about it. Now. Even though we were bought here against our will, and even though we've been treated unfairly for hundreds of years, we still built this country. But what we have got to stop doing is allowing them to make us think like this is not hours. And I'm just saying, look, I understand we've been mistreated, oppressed, red lined with hell rights, police brutality, hiring practices, denied educational opportunities. I got it in spite of all of that, we have forged our way forward anyway, and we have become an intricol, thread and fiber of this country. Like I said, we built this. This country was built on our backs. A lot of large companies that you see today would not even exist. The richest that America has is because they had four hundred years of free labor. I want you all to understand this. This is a fact. This isn't an anti white statement in any way. So before you get on Twitter and go running there with it, that's not what I'm saying. I am saying this to employ or black people to understand that we have got to participate in this process to bring about a change. This November. We need some things to change. I knew we were in the world of trouble when the slogan was make America great Again. I went, when was America ever great for us as black people? So I knew with those red hats and that statement that it wasn't going to include us. And he's proven that to be true. His base is not black people. Trump's base has nothing to do with you. What part of this are you not getting now? I understand politics is not what we'd hoped it to be, but it is the system we have. America in all of its riches and power is because of us. Let me break it down even further. Let's get real simple here. Swag is provided by us, music is provided by us. What's cool is determined by US. Entertainment we are huge part of it. Athletics, we are huge part of it. We are part of the things that America's game football, the biggest spectator sport in this country. We're part of all of this. We are part of these corporations that grow. We are part of every piece of America. Don't nobody care what the latest dance is, as simple as that unless they get it from New York, LA. Don't nobody care nothing about hip hop Until we created nobody cares about. We determined what hairstyles is hot, how to wear your clothes is hot. We determine all this stuff that's hot. When are we gonna get the message through our head that we can determine who's in the White House, who's in the Senate, who's in the Congress. We can determine all of that too. If you are powerful enough to move their kids to action, you will be powerful enough to move them to vote and change the way we are treated. We are that powerful other people. But we got to vote. If we want to really show that black lives matter, we have to matter at the polls period. We can make a change so we can elevate what we determine as cool as swag as who's help, who's hot, who's current, how to dress, how to dance. We could take all that to the White House. We could determine policy by who gets in there. We can start electing people who care about us. We've got to vote. This is the most important election of our lifetime. I thought Obamba was important, but man, if we don't make a change of what's happening in Washington, DC right now, we're gonna be in a world of trouble. We in trouble, y'all. We got to vote. Black people, Brown people have to vote for all. Steve Harvey contests no purchase necessary, void where prohibited.
