Y'all know what time of y'all don't know. Y'all all suit looking back to back down, giving them more like the milking buck bus things and its cubs, y'all me true good it. Steve har listening to together for stun Please, I don't join join me, be doing me. Honey. You gotta use that turning. You gotta turn the turnout. Got to turn out the turn the water to the water. Come come on your baby, I sure will a good morning everybody. You're listening to the voice, Come on dig me now, one and only, Steve Harvey, I got a radio show. Somebody sent me an email one day that, you know, kind of a nasty little email, you know, I think I said it wants to before Steve Harvey trying to be a preacher. Man, I'm so far from being a preacher. Man, I can't even tell you. But what I am trying to do is share information. Now. I understand how haters work, and I understand how the devil works. Believe me, I do you know? Sometimes even heat, the devil surprises me at the level and the angles of attack they use, you know, which, I go, wow, man, I didn't I didn't see that one. Oh, that was pretty slick. I gotta get credit on that. We try to get me, but every time you try to get me, I get saved. I get saved every time, man, because because God got me, God got some angels camped around me. That's what my mom used to always say as Sunday school teacher. Never really understood it, but you know when I was growing up as a kid, but I got it. Now. He got some angels around me. And angels come into form sometimes of people, people who pull your coat to this, or introduce you to that, or reveal some information to you like this. He got them all around me. So see, having a relationship with God has been beneficial to me, y'all. It's not just that what he gives to me, but what he protects me from. And you know, some some people wonder, what if you were God, why he letting people do that to you? Now, that's not how it works. See, there's two forces in this world, as good and as evil. And if you succumb to good, that's what you become, that's what you do. But everybody don't succumb to good. Some people succumb to evil. Some people's mission is to hate, to destroy to tear down, and so that forces at work in this world too, and when that force comes up against me. What God never promised me that I wouldn't see none of that, that I wouldn't see the attacks, that I would not come under fire, that I would not be falsely accused. He didn't say that. A matter of fact, he for warned me that it would happen. Or what he does give me in those moments, on moments of comfort in peace, knowing that He's with me, and no, no matter what my enemy does to bring me down, it ain't gonna work. It ain't gonna work. So come if you want to fight, if you will. I have a man that has been attacking me since I owned the comedy club in Dallas. He has been on a mission and that if I don't give him five million dollars, he gonna do it. He didn't done everything, man, he has done everything. Now he've messed around and got itself now claiming in his letters physically ill and his illnesses and what's befalling his family. He's blaming that on me too. As Steve Harvey not stressed me out and paid me this money he owed me. We were you coming with this. He just has kept on it on it all and you know what, he a messed around, got itself sick. He'n messed around, man, got himself in some situation. And can I tell you something. It's been going on since nine teen, maybe ninety seven. He started the attack when I first went on, No before that, probably ninety five. He started the attacks in ninety five. Every nine he even't got six lawyers. All the lawyers didn't drop the case after they come in and they discover the fact. But he steady trying. But it's too angels that's around. And I forewarned him several times. Man, and man, if I was you, I go head on because what I'm not gonna do is being because see, you cannot break me because I happened to be a soldier for Christ. I happened to be an imperfect soldier or Christ as nothing, Man as nothing. And oh it ain't like a bunch of people and tried. Now, Oh y'all all been on YouTube, y'all been on the internet. Oh they didn't try. Oh they didn't put some dirt on me. Man, that ain't true. But if you keep looking at me though, and I'm not the prize. But if you put your eyes on God, it's where you go. But if you look at me, He's covered me through it all. And that's been the importance of the relationship I formed with God, is that I know that I'm under his wings, that I'm ever under his ever loving protection, that he got me. And I just wanted to share that with you that if you got If you're looking for some protection, if you're looking for a way to have the strength to get through what you're going through, get some God man. If if you want to weigh out, get some god man. If you've been gangbanging and you're sick of gangbanging, get you some god man. If you're tired of being on drugs and you're tied to drinking, get you some god man. If you're tired of being if you're sick and tired of being sick and tired, get you some god man. I'm just telling you now. If you're trying to make your dreams come true and it looked like you ain't gonna make it, and you still believe that that's for you, get you some god man. If you're setting a new gold dream of aspiration and you're trying to get that, and you're gonna start out today. Get you some God, man. I'm just telling you. I'm just telling you. See it's real. What I'm saying. Man, I ain't on dude with it. You understand. I'm just telling you real. Get you some God, man, and be patient, have faith, believe, don't doubt, but Lord, have mercy. Get ready to work your tail off. Did you hear me? Get you some faith, believe, don't doubt, and get ready to work your tail off. God can't blessing you. See a lot of times we go to God asking for prayers and stuff, but we go to him and we don't give nothing God nothing to bless We won't blessings, but we don't give him nothing to bless. You make one step, he'll make two. You start, he'll finish you come, He'll go you dream it, He'll build you started, He'll finish. See you see you trying everything your way. I'm gonna go to court. I had a conversation with a man yesterday, just sitting and just call me man, and was just talking about but Steve. You know, man, I've just dude been on me twenty three hundred dollars for four years. I just asked him, have you survived the folk without the twenty three hundred? Yeah?

I could use that money, and I've been praying to God to help me. Yeah, you've been praying to God to help you. God probably got something way greater for you.

Lebron wrote that he was heartbroken and devastated by the loss of Kobe and his thirteen year old daughter Gianna. Here is some of what he posted. He said, I literally just heard your voice Sunday morning before I left Philly to head back to LA. Didn't think for one bit and a million years that would be the last conversation we'd have. Wow, to lose a friend like that, I'm sure everyone listening was crying. If you got a chance to read Lebron's entire emotional goodbye post. Lebron went on to say that he would continue to honor Kobe's legacy. Wow. Man, Yeah, I read that post. Yeah it was, Yeah, it really really was. Did you see it's Steve? Yeah. I mean, you know, the reason I liked it was for different reasons. So I'm not you know, I just like when people appear and honest, you know, the custom that he typed in nails what hours? You know. I know that sounds crazy, but it's being real. That affected me more than anything. I went, Okay, now that's really how you feel, because he typed how he felt. Yeah, and sometimes you have to say and it just it just it kills me. The judgmental people. I can't believe the language he used. What what are you talking about? Hey, man? If if, if somebody's grieving, you have to be careful how you how you tell people how to grieve. Don't judge, no, but you have to be careful. Your grief is rough, man, There is no woo to this. This thing. Man. Have you sitting up somewhere doing doing it, saying and feeling something you never knew you was capable of feeling? Yeah, make you feel like you're losing your mind? Hey man, I remember the doctor told me when my mama passed. He said, you know, because my mother had a stroke and she was really she was really gone. You know. When I got to the hospital, she was on a ventilator, and the doctor said he was just telling the family member and me and my brothers were sitting there. He said, well, she's gone, She's she she won't live through the night. And my brothers stood up and said, well you ain't either. Whoa God, because that's where he was. You know. She said he ain't gonna live through nothing. My brothers stood up and saying, okay, then you ain't either. I want you to understand he was dead serious. It it. It took my older sister Mona to calm his ass down because he was dead serious. Yeah, ain't yeh, ain't no problem. I'll tell you what. Okay, cool, since you over here talking freely, let me give you something to think about. And then the cold part was me and mather Brother. We was good with it. Wow. So you know, man, I'm just saying that it sounded in a humorous way. But you know, people deal with grief differently. Man. People they so quick this society. Even in this tragedy, people got looked cute things they want to say. You know, you'll be going, wow, man, inappropriate. You know a lot of people are affected by this room right here, A lot of people absolutely tragic loss. It is. Yeah, I don't I don't recall hearing as many men openly talk about the passing of somebody until I mean, I'm but I've been around for yeah, yeah, you're really grieving about it. Yeah, well, Steve, it is now time to get caught up on today's headlines. Ladies, A gentleman, miss An Tripp, thank you, Thank you very much, everybody, Good morning. Donald Trump's impeachment defense team chose to quickly wrap up its case yesterday rather than deal with the possibility that for Senate Republicans might jump ship and vote to override Mitch McConnell's and no more information or witnesses position or before they could finish or laying out their case and thereby opening the door or for Trump's former National security chief Robert Bolton to testify testifying about the charges he makes against the President. In his upcoming book, So White House Counsel Pat Sippoloni explained his decision to stop trying to defend Trump from the two impeachment articles lodged against him, and just he deflected the whole argument. The election is only months away. The American people are entitled to choose their president. Well, that's what he made the whole thing about. Next up, two days of questions by senators are going to be questioning each other, and then after that there will be a vote on the possible admission of extra information and witness testimony. And that's something Leadhouse Impeachment Manager Adam Schiff is really hoping for. I don't see how the oath of impartiality can be interpreted any other way than demanding a fair trial that includes witnesses and documents, and a final vote on that is not expected until this Friday at the earliest. And then after that down the line will come the overall center vote on the articles of impeachment. So all is still has two unfold. We'll see how layout. According to the LA Coroner's office, now all nine bodies have been recovered from the scene of the helicopter crash to kill Kobe Bryant, his daughter, and seven other people. Doctors say they're going to update the public when all the identities of the victims are officially verified. Now the Dennis have already been mentioned because family members have said yess my loved one was aboard that flight or whatever, but the victims still have to be officially verified in that is what the current Corner's office is about this morning. Meanwhile, investigators from the National Transportation Safety Boards say they expect to be on the scene for a few more days, really trying to definitively find out what happened and why it happened. By the way, is an example of what many people have come to feel are the sometimes really wrong British media. A lot of folks feel that in the wake of of the Meghan Harry mess, the British Broadcasting Corporation is under five for running a news clip about Kobe Bryant's death using a voiceover outlining the world class athlete's achievements while actually showing scenes of King James on the court, not Bryant. Social media is criticized the BBC for the arrow or, some accusing the media outfit of incompetence, others saying it's an example of their racism. The opposition labor parties David Lammy tweets Kobe Bryant and Lebron James don't Knowlion looks similar. The BBC has hired If they hired more black producers and editors, appalling mistakes like this wouldn't happen. It wouldn't happen if a black if a white star had died. According to reports, ethnic Minardi's are severely uppresented. It's underrepresenting the British media. The total number of journalists mostly white. Over there. Now back to the Steve Harvey Morning Show you're listening to show it's been fifty years since the Kansas City Chiefs appeared in the Super Bowl, and the family that owns the team is making the most of it by throwing a huge, I'm talking huge Super Bowl party. The Hunt family is hosting close to two thousand staff members, friends, families in Miami for the Big Game. I love it. We can't get it. Yeah, that is how you throw a party.

At the beginning of every year, and well many of us have already given up. But hey, we know it's rough. We all fall short. But right now we're about to help you get back on track and reach your twenty twenty goals to lose weight and just live a healthier lifestyle. And joining us now is a CEO and the president of d Herbs. We love him, he is family. Please welcome back to the show first time this year in twenty twenty, mister A D. Dolphin. How are you guys doing this morning? Hey, we know you by your Hey, well, welcome back a d Like we said, we have missed you. We're going to get right into it. So eighty percent of Americans have made New Year's resolutions to lose weight this year. That's always how it goes, right, right, exactly. Yeah, So we want you ad to tell us how the d Earth's Full Body Cleanse can help them stay on track and get clean and lean for this new year. Well, the reason why I can help them stay on track is because it's easy. It's really easy. All you have to do is follow the instruction. It's easy and it works, and probably the best thing about it is the results itself. You're talking about weight loss between ten to thirty pounds, a huge boosting energy, stronger immune system, clearer skin. You'll be able to focus and concentrate a lot better. The d Earth's Full Body cleans is truly a life changer. All that is true, and it is important that we educate the listeners and how different the Derb's Full Body cleanses than other cleanses out there. So ad, let's talk about that for a minute. Okay, Well, most cleanses they kind of just focus on your colons. The Derbs Full body clans focuses on your entire body. That's your gall bloody, your heart, you deliver, your colon, your spling, your lunch and kidneys, your adrenal glands. You're blood in your skin, your entire body, not just your colon, because that can give you the illusion of cleansing. And also our formulas which are one hundred percent natural down to the capsules themselves, which are vegetarian capsules, so it's easy for your body to consume. I love that. And one thing we've left out, we've all done it. Basically, you can eat on the DRS Full Body cleanse absolutely, so you're not drinking some weird concoction. You're not starving yourself. You can eat you know what, long as you stay within the diet itself, you can eat as much of that as you want. Absolutely now now, ad for our listeners that are struggling with diabetes or let's say, high blood pressure, they really should try the DearS full body cleanse and tell us why that might as well well. Ninety present of all diseases today are diorelated. We're literally eating our way into sickness. And surely people actually believe, since their parents had diabetes, since their parents had high blood pressure, that God has predetermined those diseases for them, and it's true, simply not true. You determine that by your eating habits. Yes, you have the same genetics, if you eat the same same diet, you're definitely gonna give yourself a better chance of getting those things. But if you if you take a different path, a healthier path, if you start to cleanse, you can change your life, you can change your existence. You are in control of that, and it's so important that we get that message across because people think that God has predetermined that for them, and it's simply not true. They do it now, wary concern and it manifests itself into high blood. If you stop worrying, man and start doing some breathing exercises and change your diet where you ain't beating yourself up with the food you put in your body, you could make a huge difference in high blood. You heard it right here on the Steve Harvey Morning Show. If you are looking to see lasting weight loss and better health this year, then you need to start by cleansing your body from the inside. As Ad has mentioned, the de Herb's full body cleans will flush out those toxins that are dragging you down and will have you looking and feeling better than you have felt in a very long time.

Dear Stephen Shirley, I'm desperate for some sound advice. I'm a thirty six year old divorced female with two kids. My mom is in her early seventies and recently widowed. Her life changed drastically, so the kids and I spent a lot of time with her. About six months ago, I saw that my mom was getting back into her normal routine, so I backed off a bit and let her have some space. When we visit it with her, she seemed to be in good spirits. She wore jazzy new wigs that were longer than she normally wore, and she started wearing very tight and revealing clothing, which was shocking. I asked her if my dad had a secret life insurance policy that she cashed in on because she was spending a lot of money. She said she was able to save a lot of money over the years, so she's fine. A week later, she had a new Jaguar in the garage and she had bought a new living room and bedroom furniture. I insisted that she'd be honest with me. She just came right out and told me that she was doing porn. Oh, I'll missy. She came right out, and I told her, I told you, I told you you weren't ready for this one. She came right out and told me that she was doing porn. I nearly lost my mind and asked her to repeat what she said. She said it again. She's a porn star, she said. She live streams videos of herself on a porn website for men who are attracted to mature senior women. She said it makes her feel very sexy because all kinds of men pay real good money to see her goodies. I told her that it's disgusting, demeaning and trashy and she's too old to be doing this. She to come on, Steve, I need your help right here. She too old to be there. She told me to kiss her way bilders exactly, thank you, sir. Turn Come on, I told her that's disgusting, demeaning it trashy. She too old to be doing this. She told me to kiss her old way and mind my old damn British, which YO broke. I was crushed and we haven't spoken for weeks. My kids miss hurt, but I refused to take them to visit her because only God knows what she's been doing on that new furniture. I am ashamed to be in her presence. This is unimaginable and I don't know what to do about it. Stephen Shirley, how can I talk some sense at her? Please advise every time I think I cannot be surprised anymore with these letters, because we have seen and heard it all. Here you come with this believable story about a seventy year old poor star who just happens to be your mama. What imagine I mean, just imagine if this were your mother, I mean, all of us your mama? Right? This is crazy, Gay, You're right, I mean, this is this is unimaginable I can't. I mean, the only thing I can think of at this point is that maybe she, I don't know, snapped a little bit after your dad passed away. My condolences, by the way, Uh you know, I mean I think she's still going through I think she is in a way. My advice to you is you gonna have to, I guess, because she's in her seventies and you can't tell her what to do. She's grown. Uh you know, wait this one out. I mean, you know, I say, what do you say? What do you say? I mean, you can you can shut up. She got some new furnitures, she's good, she's feeling sexy. How much we make it, mam, Yeah, she didn't say that. I mean, you know, you got to continue to talk to her, tell her how this makes you feel, how ashamed you are, you know, and all of this. I mean, the kids don't know what she's doing. Necessarily, you didn't say how old they were, but to her, to them, she's still grandmother. So I don't necessarily think you should keep them away from her. Maybe have Grandma come to your house and them not go to theirs. But this is crazy for the family, and you really have to talk to your mother, sit her down, try to continue to try to talk some sense into her. I mean, yeah, this is crazy. This is your mother. Your mother is a born Steven to make this great. Yeah, I feel for you, I really feel for you, Steve. Yeah, lady, Jimmy, he'll go come.

We'll talk about it right after this. You're listening to Steve Harvey Morning Show. All right, guys, here's a question for you. Is it possible to be too tired to go to sleep? It's perfectly possible to feel tired and at the same time have trouble dozing off. Certain life stresses and health problems can leave us feeling exhausted, but at the same time make it difficult to relax and go to sleep. Also, missing out on sleep can disrupt our natural rhythms, which can make us feel wide awake when we usually be sleeping. So here's the question. You've ever been too tired to sleep? I've heard people say that before. I'm just I'm I was so tired I couldn't even sleep. What do you think cause that? Well, I know for a fact you can be tired and not be sleepy. And then sometimes, man, you can. You I've done myself like that many times. I just pushed myself to the edge and then it's so much adrenaline that it takes a while for the adrenaline to go because you've just been exerting yourself. Yeah, yeah, you know, and then that adrenaline is flowing and you're up in your hype because man, it's sometimes, like Tommy Junior tell you, after the show is kind of hard. It's kind of hard to go to see you're seen excited. Yeah, you're tired. Yeah, just yeah done. A show is run. So you just be sitting in the morning.

I try to get sleep on the plane. I love sleeping on the plane. Yeah yeah, but Steve, when you're not too tired and you're getting and you look forward to that sleep, and how do you good sleep? You know you're about tom I'm I'm talking about when I know I'm sleeping, like you know, like I'll be talking to somebody and be looking dead at their ass, but don't but don't be listening, right, but be rocking back and forth just a little bit, you know, but not side to side, back and forth like closer to him, fall away, close to him, fall away, and just be rocking like that, so it don't look because you don't want to rock side to side because that throw people off. But when you rock towards them, that just lures them in. And be just talking and I don't be hearing nothing. They say, I've shut my eyes completely while somebody was talking. Okay, at lady one time at this meeting, she was talking and I was just looking at how rocket I fell asleep. She said, are you okay? I'm fine? You right? What's wrong with you? See? I really think you hold the record of getting on the plane and falling asleep the fastest. Yeah, yeah, but I go to sleep on the plane in the heartbeat. I don't guess you will on the plane. Oh no, no, no, no, no, no no no. Sandy Entertainers boy KB kp KB KB snor We just on the plane one time, king to him. KB was snoring so loud. The white dude next to him said, hey, are you serious?

You know the custom that he typed in Eils, what hours you know, I know that sounds crazy, but it's being real's No, that affected me more than anything. I went, Okay, now that's really how you feel, because he typed how he felt. Yeah, And sometimes you have to say that and it just it just it kills me to judgmental people. I can't believe the language he used. What what are you talking about? Hey man? If if, if somebody's grieving, you have to be careful how you how you tell people how to grieve. Don't judge, no, but you have to be careful. Your grief is rough, man. There is no woo to this this thing. Man. Have you sitting up somewhere doing doing it, saying and feeling something you never knew you was capable of feeling. Hey man, I remember the doctor told me when my mama passed. He said, you know, because my mother had a stroke and she was really she was really gone. You know. When I got to the hospital, she was on a ventilator and the doctor said he was just telling the family member and me and my brothers were sitting there. He said, well she's gone. She she she won't live through the night. And my brothers stood up and said, well you ain't either. Whoa God, because that's where he was. You know. She said, he ain't gonna live through not. My brothers stood him said, okay, then you ain't either. I want you to understand he was dead serious. It took my older sister Mona calmed his ass down because he was dead serious. Yeah, ain't yeh, ain't no problem. I tell you what. Okay, cool, since you over here talking freely, let me give you something to think about. And then the cold Paul Well, me and Maula brother, we was good with it. Wow. You know people deal with grief differently, man, I don't. I don't recall hearing as many men openly talk about the passing of somebody. Coming up next to our last break of the day, and we'll have some closing remarks of course from Steve Harvey at forty nine minutes after right after this. You're listening all right here we are, guys, last break of the day. Steve, you have some closing remarks for us. I know you do. Yeah, you know. I want to remind everybody of something that God created us all for greatness. All of us were created in his likeness. All of us were created to be an example of what God can do in people's lives. We were all created for this. What happens along the way is we make decisions. Because God gave us the power of choice. We make decisions at people as people that counteract what God really intended for us. And one of the reasons we counteract what God intended for us is because the devil's main job the opposition is to not allow you to reach your potential. See the devil don't ever want you to reach your potential because then he'll have another child of God out there spreading the word and showing off and being an example of what light can do and what love can do, and what the power of prayer can do. So his job is to make each and every one of us fall by the wayside. That's his constant mission in life. To make us think we're not worthy, to make us think we can't, to make us think it ain't possible, to make us look at our environment, to make us feel like, well, it's because I'm this, I can't be that. Ain't none of that truth, None of that is true. I bought a book the other day by Joel Oldstein because I was listening to him over the weekend and he sent this. He was talking about his new book called Next Level Thinking, and I bought the book. And because I constantly try to reinforce myself. As successful as you may think I am, I still have a ways to go and I will always try to improve myself. And people like Joel os To, Bishop Jakes, Bishop Olmer, Bishop Getties down there in North Carolina. My boy, you know it's a lot Charles Jenkins up in Chicago. There's a lot of dudes, man that called me to make sure I'm okay. Check in on me. Tyler, check in on me, doctor Phield, check in on me. I got a lot a lot of people check in on me, man, make sure I'm okay. I was reading his book because it's just I just needed some more information and one of the things I had learned from his book. But in the first chapter, the title of his chapters be a barrier Breaker, Be a barrier Breaker. And throughout the book it just talks about your surroundings, your environment. That because you're from a family who ain't nobody never made it out, don't mean that you have to not be one of that. You have to be one of those and not make it out because you come from a hood that don't have a whole lot of millionaires made from that hood. That don't mean that you can't be a barrier breaker and be one of the millionaires from the hood. Just because nobody on your block ever went to college, don't mean you can't be the first one. Maybe nobody in your family ever went to school, you're the first one. Maybe nobody in your family ever became a supervisor at a post office or the FedEx or UPS or anyplace else. Don't mean that you can't. You can become a barrier breaker. But see what a lot of us do is we get so immersed in our environment that we adapt to our environment, and we must we act like this is it? Well, if God had wanted me to be rich, I'd have been born rich. What what did you say? I heard of guy say that if God had wanted me to be rich, I would have been born rich. So let me ask you something, brother, all these people that have gone from poverty to riches, what was their excuse or what mindset did they use to become a barrier breaker, to break the barrier poverty to become well off. I chose to be a barrier breaker. I knew what my family was. I loved my family dearly and still do. But what my family had I didn't want. As much as I loved my mother and father, what my father was and how hard I saw him work, I didn't want that. I wanted something else. Now, do I appreciate the work as to keep putting, most certainly do that. I appreciate the faith in the fear of God that my Mamma put in me. Oh, I most certainly do. But I didn't want to be the warre sitting at the church on the usher board. I didn't want that. I didn't want to work as hard as my father and make the same money as my father. I wanted to something else. I wanted to be a barrier breaker. A barrier breaker. And one of the things he talked about in the book is that so often we led our environment and how we were raised, and other people's expectation of us set limits in our life. He was saying that we adapt to what's around us. So what he said in the book I wanted to share with you all. In the book, he said that if you take an oak tree seed, the seed of an oak tree, and you plant this seed from this oak tree, in a two foot pot. That oak tree will never become what it was created to be if you leave it in that pot, not because there's something wrong with the seed, but because of the environment is in. Did you hear what I just said. There is nothing wrong with you. The problem is your environment. If you stay in the environment, you will never grow. But you can choose to become a barrier breaker and get out of any environment that you're in. You can escape poverty, you can escape the hood, you can escape bad thinking people. You can escape the dope game. You can become non addicted to drugs. You can stop being an alcoholic. You can stop with God's help. If you take an oak tree seed and you plant it in a two foot pot, that tree will never become what it was created to be if you leave it in the pot, not cause there's something wrong with the seed, but because the environment is in. You got to change your environment. You fine, You got to see you got everything you need to grow? You did. Those are my clothes for all Steve Harvey contests.
