Today's show is pre recorded. Y'all know what time y'all don't know y'all back all looking back to back down, giving them like themzing bus things, and it's not good at Steve har to mother for stunt joy. You gotta gotta turn hur run, you gotta turn to turn them out. Turn got to turn out to turn turn water to the water. Come come on your baby, sure will the good morning everybody you are listening to the voice, come on, dig me now want and only Steve Harvey got a radio show. Man o man o man. I thank God for it. I thank God for all he's done for me, for all the little things that are oftentimes failed to thank him for that I take for granted for you know, I was. I was talking the other day to a buddy of mine. We had gotten to this conversation about God and and and in the conversation we had narrowed it down and we were talking about changing the way we are as people. You know that everybody has to change. You know, nothing stays the same. Everybody changes, and a lot of these changes can be for the good, and a lot of them are just they just come with time. You know. Sometimes it's aging that changes us. But no matter how old you get, you still have the ability to improve as a person. You may not have the foot speed you used to have. You may not be as agile as you used to be. Your energy level may not be what it used to be. Your desire to do some of the things that you used to do may be gone. The thing that doesn't have to change and will not change is you. You have the ability to continue to grow as a person, even when far the time and nature has taken its course. We were talking about everybody can change and everybody has the right to reinvent themselves as they get older, and I equated it to jumping out of an airplane. You know, there are some people man who get to a certain point in their life and they and they jump from the airplane is now almost a stunt of some kind. It's almost like they life then got out of control. You ever seen somebody jump out of airplane and the parachute don't open, and they lifestart and it seems like they start spinning and tumbling and they can't get it together. And I've seen some mid air rescues before. But then there are times when you know when it hasn't worked. You know, you jump out that airplane and and and at first it's fun. I've never skydived before, but I would imagine when you first jump out of an airplane that they people describe it as a a sense of being free. And it's exhilarating when you first jump out the plane. But if you pull that cord and nothing happens. I never happened to me, but I can only imagine the panic that's got to set in, because no matter how fun it was a moment ago, the flying over to one another, the holding hands in the air, the breeze, the descent of the feeling of all of a sudden, if you reach for that cord and that's not there, you're suddenly spinning out of control. And that's what happens in a lot of people's lives. When you first start your life, you jump out the plane. You're free, you're young, you ain't got nothing to where about it. But then you get to a certain point in your life when you go, okay, I'm gonna pull the cord now. And pulling the cord is an important thing because here's the analogy my friend gave me. He said, man, use your mind like a parachute. It works better when it's open. Well, see what happens with a lot of people, is they in life. They jump out the plane and and and they and they having this free fall and it's fun for now. But they get to a certain point in their life where they got themselves in a situation, or they've had a little bit too much fun a little bit too long, or you know, they wasn't open to nothing and they just did what they wanted to do, or they started getting involved with drugs or drinking or started running with the wrong people. So you jump out the plane. The first you're free falling, is fun, but then after a minute, man, something happens and they realize whoa and they reach for the chord, and the chord don't work. Well, now you're in a panic stricken situation. And my suggesting is what I've learned from the analogy that my friends shared with me, is that we all the sooner we can open our mind to God, the sooner we could develop that relationship with him. It's like pulling the cord and opening a parachute. If you open up your mind to God, God is like a parachute. You know, God can slow your descent. God can turn this out of control free fall into a nice ride for you. See, that's what happened to me. I was spinning out of control. I had gotten myself into a point. Man, Why I wasn't doing real good? Oh, y'all would look at me and think, man Stevie, man, Nam, I wasn't doing real good. I had spun out of control. I was. I was in a free fall, and I reached for the court, but I was so far away the cord didn't open. Then I went to him and I pulled the cord. When I went to God, I pulled the cord and open, and he slowed my descent. And this is what I just believe. I don't believe now that I aged as fast as I was aging, because I got that parachute open. Now, you know, I take better care of myself, eating, I work out more. Now you know I'm not out of control. I have a direction now that when then got up under that parachute a little bit, you know, And now I'm I'm I'm going you know, I'm still getting older, you know, so, but the descent is so slow. Now I'm able to enjoy the ride. I'm guiding my parachute over. Sometimes we go over to to a vacation spot over here, we float back over to it. But you know, I'm still getting old. I'm still going down and but the descent because I've opened my mind to God, the parachute has slowed my descent. And now I'm rocking back and forth. But I ain't spending out of control no more. You know, I'm able to enjoy the view now. You know, when you jump out that plane and you and you pull that cord and it don't work, you ain't looking at the view no more. You're thinking of only one thing. How can I slow this down? When now I'm able to enjoy the view. I'm able to see all the beautiful things on the horizon that God has for me. I'm able to see all the beautiful things around me that He's provided for me over these years. Because I've slowed my descent. I used my mind like a parachute. It works better when it's open. Open your mind to God, and so you can see the view, so you can slow the descent, so you can stop the out of control freefall that you've been on, that you can get your life together and see everything out on the horizon that God has for you. You know, it turned out to be a very true statement your mind. If you use it like a parachute, it works better when it's open. Y'all, you're listening show, ladies and gentlemen, let me have your undivided attention. Please, this is another glorious morning in the world.

People are gonna be talking about, well, where the hell is Tommy at dope, Ladies and gentlemen, without further a dude, please welcome miss an trip. Okay, good morning everybody there. This is a trip with the news or. More than one hundred fifty people are facing federal charges in connection with the Capitol Hill riot earlier this month, dozens more face charges in Superior According prosecutors are saying there'll be more suspects charges. You can expect that. Acting US Attorney for Washington DC, Michael Sherwin says there's some four hundred cases, as a matter of fact, are open and under investigation right now, and the FBI and local law enforcement have reportedly been collecting more and more evidence every day, which includes stuff like when material from grand jury subpoenas and even search warrants, so investigators could possibly build more complex cases which would then involve much more serious charges. Okay. One hundred senators were sworn in yesterday for the Senate impeachment trial of former President Donald Trump, although the trial won't begin actually till the week of February eighth. Actually it is the ninth, the Tuesday when it is supposed to start. Trump is charged with a single count incitement of insurrection, and that's for allegedly provoking the Capitlohill riot. Seventeen Republicans would have to join Democrats in order to convict Trump, however, and President Joe Biden says he doubts that's going to happen. Meanwhile, it looks like there's been a meeting of the minds between Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell and the new Majority Leader, Chuck Schumer about power sharing in the Senate session. I'm glad we're finally able to get the Senate up and running. My only regret is that it took so long, because we have a great deal we need to accomplish over the next several weeks and months. Governors across the nation, meanwhile, are expressing frustration with the supply of COVID vaccine, saying they can't keep up with the demand, and President Biden says his administration is trying to catch up. Apparently there wasn't enough, he says, ordered by the Trump administration, Mister Biden says that the US has gotten commitments from vaccine producers to make more serum as quickly as possible. Lay this week, mister Biden will reportedly reopened the federal marketplaces for buying health insurance under the Affordable Care Act, or Obamacare, and also lower the barriers that were set up by President Trump to receiving medicaid. Yesterday, the President focused on racial equity. Mister Biden says that the candidate he said that racial justice would be one of the major problems that he wanted to tackle, along with COVID nineteen, climate change, and the economy. Today, as International Holocaust Remembrance Day, a new report says that anti Semitica incidents in this country continue to climb up by nearly one hundred and twenty four percent between twenty fifteen and twenty nineteen. Jewish sadies point to swassikas on street corners in California and Virginia, the shooting of Jewish worshippers, and the chance of white men carrying tiki tortures in Charlottesville, screaming the Jews won't replace us. Apparently, one of the most looked up words that year was lockdown. They even made songs about it. The way she sings it makes it sound good, right, lockdown Down.

His mom and my mom went to high school together, and his mom said my mother was popular and referred to her as a mean girl. My mom is a little bougie, okay, but that has nothing to do with me. I'm nothing like my mom, but I'm a respectable young woman. I don't want to live the rest of my life with a man who can't persuade his mom to stop holding grudges. Is there any way to get through to her. It's your mama, dog now now now, it ain't nothing you can do. Something happened between her and and his mama. Something happened between your mama and his mama back in school. Something DA ain't talking about it. She mistreated.

Thank you, nephew. Subject my husband is a thug and a prominent pastor. Okay, Dear Stephen Shirley, I've been married for seven years. I'm forty three and my husband is thirty eight. But he acts like the world owes him something and always has a chip on his shoulder. He is argumentative and I want to be thug. He grew up in a rough area and he had to make it out of a hood on his own, but he won't acknowledge that he's in a much better place spiritually and financially now. He will preach a good sermon on Sunday, but Monday through Saturday. He curses, drinks, and he's a womanizing thug. He curses like a sailor, and he loves to brag about fighting and who's behind. He could whoop if he had the chance. He's cheated on me twice. The second time it happened, I checked out of the marriage. I would love to divorce him, but I can't because he is my sole source of income. I got laid off in April of last year, and I'm having a hard time finding a full time job. He stands in the pulpit on Sundays while I sit amongst the two or more women he slept with at the church. A few Sundays ago, a female church member approached me and said my husband made inappropriate remarks to her. I told her that she should tell her husband. A couple of days later, my husband came home and said he got into a verbal altercation with the lady's husband, and I acted surprised. My husband was flustered and embarrassed. I'm thinking all of the men in the church need to know what he's up to. The two church members he slept with are married, and I think their husband should know what my husband has been doing. Should I start a war at the church or leave vengeance up to the Lord? Well, I'll say no, definitely, don't start a war at the church. And the first lady, you know, the Bible does say vengeance is mine. You know that vengeance's mind saith the Lord, so you already know the answer to that. The question is what are you going to do? I mean, I'm trying to figure out how you're still with him. He's a hypocrite. He's supposed to be a changed man, and you know all of that practice what he preaches every Sunday. And you know, of course, I'm not saying that he should be perfect, because you know he's still a man of course, but nothing in the letter says that he's a man of God except for that he goes Sunday and preaches and preaches a good sermon. But after that money through Saturday, you know he's all in this thug life or whatever he's been trying to do. You say, he's a womanizing thug, but then you're dependent upon him financially, so that makes it hard for you to leave. He's a cheater. You've been humiliated every Sunday when you see these women's faces your man is sexually harassing women at the church, and it just wrong. He's just wrong on every level. I mean, you can't change him. But I guess, you know, I guess you should be planning your escape. I mean I say escape because you got to get away from him at least for a little while. You gotta do something. I mean, he's not showing any signs of stopping, not showing any signs of remorse or anything, and he's being very disrespectful and self destructive, you know, really trying not to. I do ask you this, Try not to make any emotional decisions like telling the husbands. You know, like you said at the end of the letter, let God handle that. You just continue to look for a job because you know something's going to give eventually. See if you have any friends or family members you can trust that maybe can help you. And in the meantime, maybe you could suggest counseling. I doubt if he'll go, maybe you can suggest that. But definitely you have to change your situation, your pattern, what you're doing, so to start saving up if you can, you know, get a little part time job or something you're looking for full time, but you've got to get out of there, because this is not healthy, especially for you, Steve. You know this letter right here, it starts off as a major conflict, just the subject. My husband is a thug and a prominent pastor. What Okay, let's just deal with that. He's a pastor part because he's really not a thug. He's really really not He's nothing in this letter he does is thuggish. I'm just but we but he's supposed to be a pastor, So let's get with the conflict right away. He acts like the world ohs. And first of all, you took forty three and he thirty eight. What did he say to you to get you in the first place? I don't even understand this here, but that ain't what the letters about. But let me show you the conflict of him being a prominent pastor. The first thing, he acts like the world owes him something. Here's another one. He always has a chip on his show. Here's another one. He's argumented. And last but not least, he's a wanna be thug. How to hell did he get to be the pastor? I mean, just these four qualities right in here. How did he become a prominent pastor? He grew up in the world in the rough air, had to make it out the hood on his own. How many you know, how many of us got that story free on this show, on this show, that damn to everybody I know, that's anything damn near got that story. Every hell all us on this show got that story. So what is he talking about? He don't acknowledge that he's in a much better place spiritually. What I can't tell? I'm just let it just too much for all? Right, here we go. He will preach a good sermon on Sunday Bowl Monday through. He cusses, he drinks, and he's a womanizing thug. Okay, now, let's let's let's go back. He's your husband and you're putting up with the cussing, the drinking, and womanizer. He's just like a sailor, loves a brag about fighting, hold on and who's behind he could hope if he had a chance. We'll have part two of Steve's response twenty three minutes after the hour subject my husband is a thug and a prominent pastor. We'll get back into it right after this. You're listening show, all right, Come on, Steve, let's recap today's strawberry letter, the subject, My husband is a thug and a prominent pastor. All right, the prominent pastor has these following quality the world. Oh he acts like the world. Oh him something. He always got a chip on his shoulder. He's argumented and he's a wonner. Be thug. You're married to him. He worked his way out the hood, but he won't acknowledge that he's in a better place because he wants to hold up this little thug mentality for some dumb ass reason. He'll preach a good sermon on Sunday, but Monday through Saturday he cusses, drinks, and he's a womanizing thug. So he has a lot of women. And obviously you know this because is like a sailor. He loves a brag about fighting and who's behind. He could whoop if he had a chance. You always got the chance to jump on somebody. If that opportunity is available twenty four seven, you're just going over there and start to fight, if that's what you want to do. He just talking, He running his damn mouf. He whooping nobody ass. But this dude right here is worse than that. Now you said he's cheated on me twice. The second time it happened, you checked out the marriage. Then you say I would love to divorce him, but I can't because he's my sole source of income. Okay, now we have to deal with this part for a second. So I understand that. I mean, look, don't don't think I don't. So I got it. You You ain't got no means of taking care of yourself and everything. I get it. I'm not naive to that. But now let's go with what you have to swallow to have this roof over your head and cartage dry. He acts like the world owe him something. He's argumented, got a chip on his shoulder. He's sleeping with women at the church. You know about it, And you got to deal with all that if you want to keep having the key to that house. I just I don't. Is it worth it? Is it worth it? You know? I would love to divorce him, but I can't because he's my sole source. Synfig I got laid off in April last year, having a hard time finding a full time job. He stands in the poor pits on Sundays while I sit amongst the two or more women he slept with at the church. Who you. You're a bad girl. You you you're a bad girl. Man. You use a bad girl, and you gotta swallow a lot. Look, I don't know where your relatives at. I don't know who you could move in with temporarily. I don't know if you think you're walking away from something leaving it to somebody else. But you ain't got nothing though. I mean, he's doggish, man, This dude is doggish, but he're the one that got it. A few sundays ago, female church member approached me and said, my husband made an inappropriate remark to her. You told her you should tell her husband. A couple of days later, my husband came home, said he got into a verbal altercation with the lady's husband and acted surprised what happened. All that ass whipping. He was gonna die, remember that? Remember that. You know, if you really wanted to whip somebody ass I this was a perfect opportunity. Dude up in your face, accusing you of something, you probably gonna act like you didn't do. So you're gonna act like you didn't say it. You got to because you're the pastor because you can't admit it, because you know if you admit you did what you said, you know this dude gonna light into you. So your little husband is a little coward. Now my husband was flustered and embarrassed once again. What happened to this ass whoopen he'd been wanting to do? See the man approach you? Now you flustered in the back. Where is all these ass a man? When you come on? Give me one? Come on, Jack Johnson, show me something. All right, I'm thinking of all the men in the church and that need to know what he's up to. The two church members he slept with, a married and I think that husband should know what my husband has been doing. Okay, now your husband has been talking about whipping a lot of people's behind. But if you go to these women, husband and telling this hen he showed gonna be involved as ass what was then? And he ain't gonna on't neither one of them. But they're gonna do something to your husband, see you, They're gonna do something to him. Man. So I agree with Shirley. I don't think you should say it to them. I think the bigger problem for you is what you're gonna do. I think that's the bigger problem. I think your situation. You should start focusing on you. You've already checked out the marriage. It ain't much of a marriage. What you're willing to lose you don't have. You don't have no cause. He's disrespectful, he's misleading, he's overbearing, he's the bully poor pit, he's abusive to you. He treats you any kind of a way. And if I were you, I would just find a way to remove myself from that situation. All you got to do is gone about your business. You ain't. You ain't got to do nothing. You can't stand in the poor pit claim to be God's man and be doing what you want. You might be getting away with it to them people, but you ain't getting away from God. You can walk away from this, Go set yourself up, Go stay at relative's house. Get out of that situation, because the London Bridge is falling down. All right? Post your comments.

Coming up at the top of the hour, we'll have some more trending news for you right after this. You're listening to the Steve Harvey Morning Show and trending COVID nineteen news. President Joe Biden just like the sound of that. President Joe Biden is working hard in his first one hundred days. According to CNN, yesterday, the president announced a measure aimed at ramping up coronavirus vaccine allocation and distribution, including the purchase of two hundred million more vaccine doses. With those additional doses, the president said there would be enough to fully vaccinate three hundred million Americans, which is the entire population by the end of summer and early fall. Wow, he's on it. Yeah, you gotta get that done. Yeah, you know, I did some research. I was trying to figure out how much the vaccine costs. This is just on the internet. The Fiser price and the Maderna price is two different prices. Now they don't cost you to get the vaccination, but how much Fiser and Maderna is making off this vascination is unbelievable money per dose. There's nineteen dollars and some sent one of them is high. I can't remember which one it is, but on the internet, I just looked it up. Each dose is nineteen dollars, about twenty You gotta get two doses or that's forty dollars a person. Yeah, three hundred million times forty dollars. Do the man? Yeah, yeah, Weller is making some money. I think Madernas is more expensive. Now they have one that is a one shot dose. Haven't figured out what Johnson and they've also said that this new strain of coronavirus that's in South Africa, they're now saying that it does work against that strain. I just read that today. Yeah, so you know there's a lot going on. But yeah, and another COVID new Steve doctor Foulci says that wearing two masks is better than once. When I asked whether the practice of double masking offers more protection, the White House Advisor said, doctor Foulci said it likely does. During an interview on The Today Show Monday, uh Foulci said, so if you have a physical covering with one layer, you put another layer on, it just may common sense that it likely would be more effective. That's the reason now you're seeing people uh better either doubling up their masks or doing version. I'm just gonna say this about it, Shirley, and I'm not trying to be contrary or anything like that. I'm just wearing one. Damn man. I'm too hard to breathe. Man. Yeah, man, there's no way I could put another damn mask on, because now we're talking about we don't even I'm not wouldn't even be worried about COVID.

I'm nothing like my mom, but I'm a respectable young woman. I don't want to live the rest of my life with a man who can't persuade his mom to stop holding grudges. Is there any way to get through to her? It's your mama, dog, now, ain't done you can do. Something happened between her and his mama. Something happened between your mama and his mama back in school. Something Dane talking about it. She mistreated. I think your mam wall probably saying something boos you to or talk down to her to the boys. Mama, and he ain't forgot it and she taking it out on you. That's all it is. And we can't help you on this show with that, Okay. See I can't get through tour to his own mom. Moving on w D and Baltimore says, I've been working for over thirty five years and I'm past a retirement age, but I can't leave my job because it covers up my double life. My hours were reduced four years ago, so now i work eight am till noon, and then I'm off to my girlfriend's house to relax until it's time to head home around six pm. Wow, my company is forcing me to fully retire in June. I knew you'd like this, Tommy, and I'd be sick over it. I've been sick over it. I've been married twenty six years and I would never leave my wife. But I'm sure she suspects something. Should I be honest with her and hope for the best. Listen to this man, I don't know how you didn't fake it this long because you're working half a day. I'm pretty sure they're not giving you a whole check. So these years that you've been working half a day getting that half a check, I guess your wife ain't saying nothing about that. All I can tell you, dog is when they fully make you retire, I think then you can act like you've been at work, and just go over there all damn day. Just stay over there from eight to five. What happened when Tommy he's not divorcing his wife, but he's not gonna leave his girl for years. See, he's not looking for a solution. He talking about shit. He come clean, fool? What what dog? Dog? What are you fitting walking there and say to your wife that's gonna sound anything like, oh oh oh, that's what you've been doing. Oh okay, you're gonna mess around and get killed kil killed. Coming up, it's our last break of the day, and of course we'll have some closing remarks from the one and only Steve Harvey at forty nine minutes after the hour right after this you're listening show, All right, here we go, last break of the day, last break of the day on this Wednesday. And it's been a good day, good day. Yes, you know what, don't I don't want to keep harping on this story. What story? So the whole thing about the coconut milk and coconut water, isn't it not two my favorite day of coconut water out of Costco, which is where I wouldn't getting it from nohow. But they didn't took it out because they didn't found out that they had had some forced monkey labor. What this forced monkey labor? Who came up with that damn turn? It was? We just killed no silly. They make me sick. He makes me sick. They care mobiut animals than they do people. Black lives matter. We got to get shot in the streets and all this to try to get some attention. But make a monkey climber damn tree or hell. Now, we gotta stop all this tree climbing. Now, you the monkeys was over that resting and watching TV. They got to go to school in the morning. And you're sending that monkey up that tree. Get your ass up that tree and get all them down cooking outside of there. Yeah, you're singing in a funny way. But it's really true. I mean it's it's it's really serious what you're saying. I don't give a damn with Peter, don't think it's funny, Steve Harvey, don't give a damn. Say never, monkeys up down and get them damn coconuts down here so we can get this coconut milk forced monkey label. We call this slavery. Yeah, force people labors call slavery. Now all of a sudden, you mad, cause the damn monkeys got to do something him. The monkey is getting fed. Look hill, Look hill. All the monkeys got some weather stay, they get fed. They probably get you. Probably eat all the coconuts you can bring down, you know, if you you know, if you bring down ten coconuts, probably get to eat one. I don't know what the situation is, but I'd be damned if we got to stop drinking coconut milk. Yeah, because it's a forced monkey label. I bet if they were sending people up there, they wouldn't even open they damn mouth. Right. Where are the people for the ethical treatment of people? Yeah? Come on, this is crazy? Yes is Yeah? What else is the monkeys doing? They did, but they didn't ask for that job? Man, Okay, but they let me tell you something. You can't make them go up the damn tree. Monkets go up there to get cocon up. See. I bet you, I bet you, And let me tell you something. How you think man got their first banana? Probably saw monkey eating one? And you think made friends with the money. Okay, I'm gonna take exactly how they did. They did it like they did America. They were sitting over there, they were started. A monkey was sitting up in a tree eating a banana. They called the monkey down and made friends with the monkey. Then they ate the monkeys bananas, and then they told the monkey to go up there and get him some more bananas. And they're time. The monkey went up there and got him banana. They had them come back down and they took all the bananas from the monkeys. And then they told the monkeys, this is our jungle, and I treat that you can't go up that unless you check it up. This sound familiar, You just sound like something that happened. Sound like how America came about to me. Now, all of a sudden, they're all over in Thailand or whoever, finding all the damn monkeys they want to take sides with, not not monkey rights, a monkey march, now though it really is. This is crazy, man. I'm just really and I don't give a damn, but I don't care numb about what Peter say about me. Look this president, we had set up there and told some people at a podium to cat ass down to the Capitol and go down there and and you. We gotta be combat ready. That was Giuliano made that and we cannot show weakness. The president said that y'all won't impeach his ass, but you want to take all the down coconut water off to shell. How some monkeys had to go up theren against they damn wheel and get it. Man, this country canney miss me with the way they beat man the stuff they take a side on it be so damned ignorant. And don't email me text me about what I said about Peter, because I promise you I don't give a damn until you start caring about people more than you care about animals. Look, I'm for the ethical treatment of animals, but I'm for the ethical treatment of people. I have a pen. I always treat animals good. I don't believe in abusing animals. But damn you didn't pull them out the stores just like that Costco and target all people that ran into the damn capitol. That was Trump fans. Who the ass that I want all the ass locked up in prison? They ain't got tired of you say much? No perform for tours. That's hey, that's a good ass work right there. That's called the organ grinder. He got the little cap on making money and everything. Some of the monkeys that's say, that's stay entry level into show business. That show business to you don't know, You don't know, you don't know how long I Mucky have been waiting on this opportunity. This could have been an opportunity of life with the organ grinder. Just in my shot into the big lights. I'm going to Hollywood, damn news, I'm going to Broadway, Thailand. Monkey on Broadway, don't stop me. Let your monkey's gonna take the shot. Munkey had been waiting on this chance his whole lights and here you asked, stopped him from climbing and dancing up in the tree.
