Y'all know what time of y'all don't know, y'all back a suit on, looking back to back down, giving a mom like amazing buck bus things and it's covering me. True good it. Steve har listening to move together for Steve Barby, I don't join joining me. You gotta turn hur you gotta turn to turn them out, got to turn them out, to turn the water the water. Come, come on your baby at it. Uh huh, I shall will Good morning everybody. You're listening to the voice, Come on dig me now, one and only Steve Harvey Man got a radio show. Wow man, how good has God been to me? You know? Today? Let me get right to it because I'm I'm kind of feeling this today, and I'm pretty sure that's just quite a few of you who go through the same things today. Today was just a little tough morning from me because I didn't want to leave home yesterday. You don't want to stay home a little I just gotten home, you know, I gotta go again. And sometimes, you know, just the weight of all that you have to do just gets on you sometimes and sometimes you don't feel like doing it today. Huh. You know, I'm just talking to those who feel this way every now and then, and I'm assuming that would be everybody, because I don't know nobody who can just ply through this thing without having those days. Well, what do you do when it gets hard to stay up? What do you do when it gets hard to be positive? What do you do when it seems like things aren't happening for you fast enough or in the time frame that you thought it was going. What do you do? And the reason that I guess I chose to speak about this this morning is because I'm having one of those days. Because I had one of those days yesterday. It's just a tough day. I really can't explain. It's nothing really in particular bad happened. It's just I think the weight of all that's going on started to feel heavy to me. Not being able to sit down with my wife and talk some of these things through so she could help me out. That kind of got to me yesterday because she had to go take care of some business. I had to go take care of some business. When she got in it was late, you know. I got in it was late, you know, And so I guess so so it sort of pushed me into this thing. Now, I didn't hand. Nobody talk to about it. And so what do you do when you when you have days like that, when it's hard to be positive, when it's hard to stay up. Okay, here's what I had to start doing this morning. Now I haven't completed it, can't I just be real with you. I haven't completed it. Excuse me, but I am processing it out because I know what to do, because I've been here hundreds of times before. See. That's that's the cool thing about getting older. That's the cool thing about life is that you gained experiences along the way. You know, been there, done that. I didn't have that pain before. I know what to do. You know, if I sprained my finger, I know what to do now. You know the first sprain I had a Lord, I thought it was broke. I thought I gonna be handac half. I didn't know how I was gonna fit, said the old lord. What now I can't write no mold. Now maybe I don't have to go to school. I was working all kinds of stuff when I first sprained my finger. But now if I sprained my finger, I know what to do. So since I've been in this position, in this hole so many times before, and God has always gotten me through it. I decided I've got to start the process today. Want here are some things now. I'm gonna get to the big one last, but here are some things that you can do immediately to start pulling yourself up. And one of the things I do is I remember the plan. I just sit down and consciously remember the plan. Sit down and I consciously think about the goals I've set. I go over them. See, I've got mine down on an iPad so I can pull them out anywhere I am and pull them up. And I've got two lists that I've made. I've got a list of things that I know I can accomplish if I just keep working hard and if it's some couple of things just fall into place that I can see. Then I got a list of things that I'm planning on accomplishing. And then I have a second list. And the heading of this list is called only God can help Me Now. And on this list, it's things that I'm aspiring for or things that I'm hoping to that in order for them to happen, I absolutely have to have God's help. That's my favorite list. It's the list that I have of the things that I don't see, no way it can happen. I'm just operating on faith and the hope that God hear me, and so sometimes, man, when you gotta when I have this list of who only God can help me, now that list is stuff that I cannot see. I'm just operating on faith that God is so much bigger than me, that he's so much more capable than I am, that I can actually acquire some things in my life, as He's proven to me time and time again up to this point, that He's willing to do for me if I'm willing to just give him some of my life. That's the only why I can't explain my existence today. You know, I began the conversation with my wife, how do I write a book that becomes so wildly successful? That would be God. That's only God. Because if you can plan to sit down and write a wildly successful book, I'd have Benden sat down and did it, and so would you, So that would be God. How it got purchased to become a movie when that was not my intent when I wrote the book at all. Again, that would be God. Right, there has to be because if I can't explain it, and it is by no doing of my own. Then who did it? So when I get down in days like this, I remember the goal. I remember the plan. I remember the journey. I think about of all the things God has bought me to how did I even get to this point. Yeah. I might be having a little bummer of a day. Yeah I was a little down yesterday. Yeah, my bio rhythms is off, whatever they want to call it. Yeah, I'm just having one of those days. I feel a little bit heavy. I need a vacation real bad. I need some time off to just go and regenerate. But right now, man, I ain't got that. So guess what I do. I gotta start remembering the plan. I gotta start remembering the goals. I gotta start thinking about all the things that God has done for me and how He has bought me this far and the blessings that I have instead of what I don't have. And that's what I'm in the process of doing this morning. And on the commercial breaks, I'm gonna pull out my iPad and I'm gonna go over my two lists and I'm gonna read my little list of what I think I can accomplish and I'm gonna really read that only God can Help Me now list, because that's the list that's big. That's the part where I've been telling y'all. I said, quit telling God how big you'll problems are, and start telling your problems how big your God is. See, And that's why I got to sit down to do this morning. And then sometimes, man, you got to stay still. That's the other part. You got to stay still. You gotta quit moving for a second, because sometimes it feel like you're running on a treadmill and you really ain't you going somewhere, but it feel like you're running on a treadmill. Well, when you get that feeling, sometimes you got to stay still. And then when you stay still, sometimes you gotta fight to stay positive. Sometimes you gotta fight not to let the devil win. You're in a fight, Mamer, I told you this. Now, you're in a fight now. So trying to get you to get on that positive train so he can get you off the faith train. So God's delivery package that's coming to you built on your faith that you can he can shake your faith and get you to thinking negative and then he wins. See. So when you start feeling negative. Just know that that's the other force trying to throw you off track. And when you get through it all that here is the key to big one. You want me to tell it to you. You gots to pray, man, You got to pray. You gotta take it to God. You gotta say, hey, God, look I'm having one of these days. I need your help. I got business to take care of. You got blessings in front of me. You got stuff you to ship to me. You got blessings and packages that's on the way. I need to be sitting on Faith streets so I can receive the delivery when you get there. What I don't want to do is be it on be on Doubted Way or or Lack of Understanding Parkway, or Pity Parkway or some street like that, and the package keep going by. I need to be standing and sitting on Faith Street so when you drop that package down to me, I can go on and get it. You feel me. You got to pray. You got to stay still. You gotta fight to stay positive. You gotta remember the plan. You gotta go over the goals. Come on, man, God and brought you too far. Come on, pick yourself up. Today.

The monkey's owner, Mary and Richard Van Houghton, brought Jojo to their neighborhood Corraba's Grill on Monday but instead, but instead of settling for a nice banana cream pie, the monkey decided it wanted some finger food. Oh really, it got off. It's a leash, chump to a piece of the boy's thumb. That's crazy. According to the Florida Wildlife Commission, Jojo, the monkey, who was a regular at the restaurant, was laying Yeah, it was playing calmly with the eight year old when something startled him and he bit down, breaking the skin. The owners of Carrabas said they would no longer allow monkeys on. Absolutely no. If you're biting boys fingers, Jojo, you got to go, Joe, Jo Joe. Joe's a regular though. Yeah, I want to storry him that he bit the little boy's finger though his thumb. I wonder what startled him, Yeah, don't tell him. Yeah, where's the restaurant that lets a money.

Ladies and gentlemen, without further ado, our very own talented informative, Miss Anne Tripp. Thanks, thank you, Steve. This is morning, and this is Anne Trip with the news. Morning, everybody out there. President Trump's former national security advisor, retired General Michael Flynn, was scheduled to be sentenced yesterday for lying to the FBI about his dealings with Russia. However, the judge has rescheduled everything for next year, for March. Actually, Flynn told the judge that he knew that lying to the Fez was wrong. He stood by his guilty plea, but US District Judge Mt. Sullivan told Flynn that he was disgusted by Flynn's behavior. He added that quote, arguably, you sold out your country. Flynn's lawyer said that he was still cooperating with the government on another case. Meanwhile, prosecutors have recommended no jail time for Flynn. That judge says he won't necessarily be bound by that. Outside the courthouse, though, General Flynn did have his supporters. But there are also those who remember when General Flynn led a Trump rally chant against Hillary Clinton and sent a similar one right back at him. That's why they were saying, lock him up, Lock him up. According to documents obtained by The New York Times, the Trump administration plans to get rid of Obama era policies aimed at making sure that black and brown children are not punished more severely than white kids are for the same offenses. That's something that's borne out in the statistics, by the way, and the decision reportedly marks the culmination of almost a year long effort by Trump people in the way of the massacre at Florida's Marjorie Stone in High School when seventeen students and staff members was shot to death. Now, the original focus was supposed to be on gun control. However, The New York Times says that almost immediately that changed to a focus on mister Obama's school discipline policies, despite the fact that not one of the nation's high profile mass shootings was perpetrated by a black student, not one, and Trump's education secretary, the Boss is not only recommending the scrapping of the Obama era guidance rules intended to reduce racial discrimination in school discipline, but she also wants to arm school staff. According to Senate Intelligence Committee reports, Russian operatives aggressively targeted Black Americans over social media in twenty sixteen, trying to discourage them from voting so as to help Donald Trump get elected. The reports also revealed that since Trump's election, Moscow has been using the Internet to inflame racial tensions and pushed Trump's social agenda, and that while some other ethnic and religious groups were also the focus of one or two Facebook pages and Instagram accounts, that the black community was targeted by dozens. It's something. Department of Justice has officially found out that bump stocks are essentially machine guns and are legal. The GoJ amended regulations for the Bureau of Alcohol to bacque with firearms. Fox TV hosts Tucker Carlson lost a bunch of advertisers for his show Tucker Carlson after saying immigrants make the US dirtier and poorer and sad. News. Actress and director Penny Marshall has died.

Write Steve yep exactly and not with you. Buggle up a howl long time we got it for you. Here it is the Strawberry letter, Thank you nev. Subject my marriage is stable but stale. Dear's Stephen Shirley. I have a testimony and I need some solid advice. In the past, my husband was a scam artist and I am an ex stripper and call girl. We both got caught up and ended up doing time, and our family took care of our children. I got I got released from PRIs in first, and I started to rebuild our lives. When he got out, I put him through school. After that, I continued my education and now we make decent money and have a stable home life. My husband used to be a natural hustler, but now he does not share my desire to work hard and earn more money. Besides that, he has gained one hundred pounds and has turned into a couch potato. I am stuck being the dreamer, the planner, the motivator, and the brains. But my problem gets deeper. The worst part is our sex life. In the past, I was used to getting gratification from multiple men, and now I'm not getting my itch properly scratched. I could step out and get great sex from other men. But I have a conscience. I don't want to keep on being miserable in this marriage with mediocre income and sex. I have talked to my husband about the sex and he apologized for not being able to satisfy me, and that was it. So what am I supposed to do? Do I leave and start over. We're taking the kids away from their stable home with your father. Or should I go ahead and cheat on my husband and stay in this stale marriage? Wow, like a dude, I know I can. I can tell your torn I think you know. But oh good, and and I can't wait to hear yours. Thank you? Oh oh oh, it sounds like you want to talk to her. Okay, here we go. These are questions really only you can answer. I mean, seriously, you've been in this marriage for a while. You guys have a sordid pass, scam artist, U stripper call girl all that, But um, you know you did, you paid your dudes, you did your time, and now, like you say, you're rebuilding your lives, which is a good thing. Everyone deserves a second chance. Now you put your husband through school so he has an education. There's no excuse for him not working um and then you continue to yours. You may decent money, now you have a stable home life, but your husband sounds like he's just not happy. This natural hustler in him. He's not happy. So he gained a hundred pounds, he's turned into a couch potato, and now the sex is horrible. You're saying again, these are questions only you can answer. Should you leave him? The question to you is what do you want? I mean, really, what do you want? You can have what you want, but you can't change anyone but yourself in this situation. If you want to stay there, you got to deal with trying to get your husband out of this funk, or helping him get back on the right track. If he's gained a hundred pounds, you know, start meal planning, helping him do things like that, work out things like that, find out what's going on with him, Go to the doctor, why the weight game, talk to him about it. When you did talk to him about it, you said he just answered you or apologizing nothing happened. I say, that's if you want to stay with him, if you love him and all that, But if not, if you want to walk, you know, that's what you're gonna have to do, because it doesn't sound like he's interested in the marriage. Only you can make this, make this change. If you feel like your marriage is worth fighting for and you'll have something after you fight, then you stay. If not, you're gonna have to walk. Steve, I don't really want to answer this now. My whole answer. I want to take a whole other approach. A matter of fact, let me just say, surely gave you the best advice you can get. Now, let me just do what I want to do. Just do it. You don't need permission. I have a testimony. Testimonies are normally given in church. You've bypassed the church part because y'all probably don't know where the church at that because of their past. Well, in the past, my husband was a scam artist. I'm an ex stripper and a call girl. We both got caught up and he ended up doing time, and I've family, took care of our kids. I got released from prison, first started to rebuild our lives. When he got out, I put him through school. After that, I continue my education and now we make decent money and have a stable home life. That's good. People are allowed to make mistakes and recover. Congratulations. My husband used to be a natural hustler, but now he does not share my desire to work hard and eary more money. Besides that, he has gained one hundred pounds and turned into a couch potato. All right, let's start him. The reason he didn't gain this hundred pounds is because he stopped scamming. He was visy, his hands was getting round, he was on his feet, and it's hard to gain weight when you scared because you don't squal as much food when he's scared, scamming ass was on edge all day. He was just like a little crackhead, just nervous man, slim in shape, fast talking. Went to prison. He don't want to go back to prison. So now he's gonna stayed his ass on that couch and picked up a hundred. Now, Shirley, say get on the meal plan. One hundred is too five, you know, here, damn couch potato. He's a potato couch. He's a sack of potatoes. He's a whole bunch of potatoes. He's one fat ass breaked potato. Because he done. He's sitting on that couch with that dry ass life. He don't know what to do. Hell yeah, I used to be married to a strip of n a call girl, and I was a stone cold hustle. You set up here and took as stupid ass to school, mess around, got a damn education, and how we think some damn suburban people. I don't want this. Where are my scams at life? Suck it? Way more fun that we didn't hear punching clocks going to work. Oh man, I'm eating picked up a hunted Oh man. Now this lady say she's stuck being the dream of the plan of the motivator and the brains you left out, you to cook and you the personal shopping. All right, Hold it right there, Steve, Hold it right there. Well that part two of your response at twenty three after the hour, right after this. You're listening, all right, Steve, Come on, let's recap today's strawberry letter, the subject my marriage is stable but stale. Yeah, stale, because ain't nothing happening no more because of order to him, the way he acted, he had a good life. He just messed up and got caught, But that prison knocked his ass down a little bit. He ain't trying to go back in there so the player is safe. Can't scam from this couch. My ass right here, come out of here listening to the universe. When I went to school, I should have been out scamming. I'm in nice school trying to get it. Damn, g the hell I need that for. I want the top scam artist in the country. Now I'm just sitting there with my fat as. All I do is eat baked potatoes. Now you wanna call me a couch potator potato chips. No, I'm not really trying to help him. But my problem gets deeper. The worst part is our sex life. In the past, I was used to getting ratification from multiple men. Damn that sounds nasty, but okay though, and now I'm not getting my itch properly scratch. Try not to call it edge. Yeah, because you need multiple men and you start itching. That ain't necessarily I know if I ever been with a lot of women and I started itching, and I would go down to the clinic. Yeah, because sometimes you ain't got to get your itch scratch. You got to get your itch taking care of immediately. Any some damn pendicella, You better hope it's just an itche because they got something. Now I ain't no pendicella fall, so now I'm dudia. I didn't want to do this letter. The worst part is our sex life. I couldn't step out and get some great sex from other men. Well guess what you will be then? And though you're back to be in the car girl and the stripple. Yea, you don't want that, lady, don't do that, she said. But I have a conscious and that's good. I don't want to keep on being miserable in this marriage with mediocre income and sex. See, fat boy ain't what he used to be. Let's just break it down. Fat assert he got that hunted on it. But love making got to be stressful. His big ass over here ain't making no money in some side sex and now something got to have If you're gonna have sorry sex and leaders, let her go shopping. Yeah, at least let her go shot. What you can't do is be sitting up in there complaining. And then when she asked you about the sex, your response is I'm sorry, right shelves side, but I ain't gonna do nothing about it. I got this extra hundred on me. What you want me to do? So I was not gonna be good with this letter. I knew it when I read it. Misible in this mediocre marriage with sex and income. I've talked to my husband about it. He apologize. So what am I supposed to do? Do I leave and start over, taking the kids away from the stable home and their father? No, don't do that. Don't do that? Or should I go ahead and cheat on my husband and stay in this stale man? Well, here's a suggestion that might be able to kill two birds with one stone. You could get your husband back off the couch by getting him back into the hustle game. That's when he went to jail. Now, but this time he ain't hustling scamming. What do you do? He working with you to scratch your way. Let him go out and get to mean that you need to be satisfied, and then let him have a cut. Then he'll feel better like he back hustle, You get all that scratch at you out the way. You'll be back in business. But you have a conscious. But if he give you the permission to do what you could do it. I don't like this, I'm good with it, but they but the dude then gave up. Yes, a hundred pounds a lot. That is, that's a lot, farty, you make a comeback a hundred. But but where was she? Yeah when he gained the first twenty five or bad or thirty or fifty, Yeah, she was looking at him at fifty. Okay, do you get out of jail. You'd be ripped you. Yeah, wow, you ain't nothing to do in jail. Button lift weights. You ain't over eating it now it's not healthy right, Oh, they ain't got nothing healthy for you. It ain't no gluten free. You meant top rumming in the saint. You can't gain no weight over that man and not at home one. Yeah, I mean only these are questions only she can answer. She wants to stay. She's you know, do I leave and start over taking the kids away from the stable home with their father? I would say no to that? Or should I go ahead and cheat on my husband? And see? Her options is if I stay with him, because I said stay with him and don't take the kids with him, they stay ble home. All her answers, If I stay with him, I'm gonna have to cheat on him. Yeah, yeah, that's all that. That's her response. So now I'm telling her include him in the cheat. All right, we gotta go Slarner email us or Instagram.

A Florida child who went out for a bite to eat ended up getting a bite of another kind when a monkey took a chunk out of his thumb on a restaurant patio. The monkey's owner, Mary and Richard Van Houghton, brought Jojo to their neighborhood Corrabba's Grill on Monday. But instead, but instead of settling for a nice banana cream pie, the monkey decided it wanted some finger food. Oh really, it got off, it's a leash, chomped a piece of the boy's thumb. That's crazy. According to the Florida Wildlife Commission, Jojo, the monkey, who was a regular at the restaurant, was playing. Yeah, it was playing calmly with the eight year old when something startled him and he bit down, breaking the skin. The owners of Carrabas they would no longer allow monkeys on their path. Absolutely no. If you biding boys fingers, Jojo, you got to go. Joe, Joe, Joe. Joe's a regular though, Yeah, I storry him that he bit the little boy's finger. Though his thumb. I wonder what startled him. Yeah, don't tell him. Yeah, where's the restaurant that lets some money? Yeah? I mean, I know in LA people can bring their dogs and you know, in the restaurants and everything. But I've never heard of a monkey ever. And I don't want anybody in LA to hear this story. They might change the laws in LA. I know it was Michael Jackson, the head a monkey nobody else had, uh, But I don't know that he took Bubbles to restaurants. He took bubbles. Steve is the one that knows. Did he take Bubba's places? No, he took Bubba somewhere out in public one time. Bubbles. That for you wait what he wasn't used to know about? Uh huh. You've seen pictures with Mike with that monkey out with the little suit on, dressed like hey Tom, he did take Timmy. You remember, get y'all him clothes? Yeah? Yeah, yeah, then we're Bubble's clothes. You got any clothes? Time to stop it. I'm gonna put a stop this jay Wait a minute. But coming from a monkey, for they that's why I hear eggs, that's why allergic and put them on that's what made the pans be short enough for you. Wow, if you kept that little jacket, didn't you? Because he didn't know he had a bubble jacket. I remember saying to myself, you don't need one person. But I hosted a fly. It's a different look for Tommy. But remember, I'm not gonna sit here and take all these jokes. I'm gonna move over there, Tommy. I'm team Tommy. Damn it. Did he really get you clothes from bubbles? Didn't really get out of you clothes from bubbles. You ain't to look back at your outfit first, you did, I had a bubble suit on. All right, thank you guys. Coming up next is Steve with today's closing remarks. Right after this, you're listening, all right, guys, here we go, last break of the day. It's been a good day, Steve. Teach us something on the way out. Steve. Well, you know, um, I think the one thing that one of the other things that I picked up when I was on my vacation this summer, and one of the things that was a great take way for me was how to create value in my life. I mean, look, we all want to have a life that's worth something. We all want to be able to reap the benefits of our labor. We all want to show increase as we get older. We all want to read higher, save money. We all want to hit the big lick. We all want to get make it. We all want to somehow get over. We all want to live our best life. So how do we create the most value? Well, two things that you have to contend with when you're talking about quality of life and value. That's your health and your time. Your health in your time are two of the most important commodities that you have, because if you're out of either one of those, you are in a world of trouble. You can't be out of time, you're dead, and you can't be out of health you're sick. And when you really out of health, it's tough, man. It is tough for people who aren't healthy. Most people I know with money were trade and all their money if they could be healthy again. So health in time. So how do you create the most value? Well, take care of both of those things right there. If you take care of your health and you become an expert at time management, I can't even tell you the value that you've increased in your life. And this is something where you don't need help from anybody else. You can do all this yourself, starting right now. You can actually eat better and start to feel better. You can actually cut out a lot of crap in your day and have more times for more things that's important to you. I mean, man, I'm on this kick right now, really really trying to get myself healthy on the inside, and I'm encouraging people. Look, you don't let old aid age just come and walk you out of here. You got to get in a fight with it. Don't just sit down and rust away. You know, if you don't move something, what you don't use, you lose. So if you're not moving your body, you lose the ability to move your body. That's just common sense. Get up, take a walk, Introduce some greens into your diet. Man, eat smarter, stop so much process food. Nobody's gonna eat perfect, but at least try to increase your health. It'll make you feel better. The quality of life that you have would be better. Secondly, eradicate everything in your data is a waste of time. If you are doing something that's not making you better, feel better, and your life better, why are you doing it? Why are you doing it? Really? Man? When you do something, it should be to progress yourself, even if it means turning around helping somebody that is less fortunate. Do you know the blessing that you send your way by helping the least of these, the less fortunate? You know God pays you for that. Even if you just cut out the people in your life that are negative, cut them out your life and replace them with positive people. Hello, I got news, so you don't even have to replace them. Just cut them out man, where you can have a solid thought yourself. It's horrible when you got certain people. They call you and all they do is call you with bad news. They got nothing positive to say. Ever, they just always on some negative tip and then next thing you know, it's bleeding over in your day. Your day was fine until you took that call. Get those people out of your circle, get them away from you. It's okay. I say this over and over and over, but I can't tell you how many toxic relationships are in your life. That's making your life toxic. And you sitting up in here and don't understand why you sick. You got too many toxic people around you. I have them. I used to have a lot more I think I've gotten rid of all of them. I had a company meeting the other day and something flat up and I squashed it right away, So maybe that'll keep that from spreading. But if it don't, I know who it is. And I just don't like toxic relationships around me anymore. I just decided that I don't have the time to walk you through life on how to be and you ain't really trying to be no better your damn so so why am I wasting my time with you? Remove toxic people out your life, toxic relationships, get out of any toxic situation because all it's doing is making you sick. So if you manage your time better and you take care of your health, those are two things that you could do immediately to start changing your life. I mean you can do this. You can go online. You can go online. You can go plant base for a little while. You can cut out processed foods for a little while. You could just cut i'll sugar for a little while. Take it step by step and see if you don't feel better. If that makes you feel better, implement more that in your life and watch what happens when you get rid of stop talking to toxic people. You have a lot more thoughts in your day that belong to you which could be placed in a positive direction. It's simple, but it's hard. Honestly, those are my thing. Wow, drop the mic.
