And it's not doing me true good at Steve har listen to mother for ste please by, I don't join join me to be doing me. You gotta u turn you are you gotta turn to turn them out, got to turn out, turn the water the water. Come come on your back at it. Uh huh. I shall will a good morning everybody. You are listening to the voice, Come on dig me now. One and only Steve Harvey got a radio show. Uh huh, Steve Harvey got a radio show. Yeah. Man, ooh boh boh boy man. God has been good to me. I can't even I can't even put it into words, man, But I try, though, I try, try try. God does things for me just right on time. He's so cool with it. And I happened to run across Joel Oldstein on television like I often do all the time, and I was sitting there and he had such a timely message for me. A part of it was something that I've said oftentimes about if you really really want to be successful, if you really really want to change, if you really really want to prosper, if you really really want to achieve greatness, if you really really want to have something in life that's worth having, if you really really want to accomplish your goals, you got to push through all of it. He said that when you get closer to it, the more difficult it becomes. Did you hear me? He said, the closer you get to what it is you want or you need, or you have to have, or or you would love to be, it gets a little bit more difficult when you get closer. He told this story that's in the Bible that I never heard before. This is what he said. He said that was a man who was paralyzed, and he had heard that Jesus was speaking at a house, and so he wanted to get there. So he convinced four of his friends to put him on a stretcher and carry him for hours to get to this house where Jesus was speaking. He said that along the way, these friends said that they went along because he had so much faith that if he could just get to him, it could be better that he could if he could just get over there end he could see him, that he might have a shot at getting held. And so he said, they took out along the way and they walked and they walked, and they walked for hours. And then when they got there, the house was completely filled with people. That was absolutely it was packed wall to wall. There was absolutely no way for the men to get him on that stretcher end to see Jesus. This a story that Joel Osteen said is in the Bible, and he was telling it now. I'm just repeating the parts of it. I got gathered. And so he said. They were sat there and they went, wow, man, we walked all this weight and it's four and and and and and and and we can't get there, he said. And then the guy with the affliction told the four men, if you get up on the roof and cut a hole in it and lower me down, I bet I could see him men, and I better to be all right now. He then said, you must imagine how these four men must have felt when you carry somebody for hours on on on on on on the way. They had to carry some cloth connected by a couple of sticks. Said the men. Shoulders had to be bruised, had to have deep gouges in them, not cuts but just indentation where they had carried the weight of this grown man for so many hours, and they looked at him in disbelief, like, man, what are you talking about. We didn't walked all this far. He said, yeah, but if you get up on that roof and you cut a hole in it and lower me down, I can see him and when he see me, it'll be all right. After sitting there and imploring the men, they went up and did just that, and then and then the story that Joel Osteen said, the man was healed. But the point he was making was he was saying that the closer you get to what it is you really want, the more difficult it's going to become. But you've got to push through. See, if you don't push through, you never know, so you can't get right to the answer. And because it gets really difficult, started creating those little saying that we got his people. Um, well, I guess it wasn't meant to be. I guess it wasn't Lord's will. Now, man, I guess you should not give up right now. I guess you should keep pressing. I guess you should do more because see, in all of us, in all of us, when you've had enough, I want you to know something. You do have a little bit more in all of us. You can do one more. You know. That's one of my favorite things that I heard Joel Oldstein said, and it kind of made me feel good. He said, I always feel like I can do one more anything, and I tell my friends all the time, I can do one more man, I could do one more day. I can do one more anything. Now Here was the jewel that I never really knew that Joel Oldstein and God sent to me I needed to hear. He said that no matter what you're going through, no matter how long the challenge is you've been facing, God has an end date for it all. Did you hear me? No matter what you're going through, no matter what challenge you're facing, no matter what situation you've gotten yourself into, God has an ending date. All you got to do is keep pressing forward. All you got to do is hanging now. All you got to do is don't give up. All you have to do is don't turn back. That is an end date for all of it, even when you think you've had enough. And boy, have I had this conversation with God on several things. That I've been going through and I'm going I've even told him, Look, I got it, man, He said, just keep hanging on. There is an end date to whatever it is you're going through. There's an end date to your illness, your sickness, yoyo, tired of being tired. There's an end date to this relationship that you can't seem to get through, beyond over that's that's like a cancer to you. There's an end date. But you've got to hang in there. You've got to keep pushing forward. You cannot turn around. You must not go back, because when God gets you through this and you break through to the other side, the reward and the benefit is far greater than the struggle. I oftentimes look at some of the things that God has brought me through in my worst times, and when He brought me through, I went, wow, man, now that I understand that, Now that I'm on the other side and I have the benefit of the reward for it, would you do it all again to get there? Yes? I would. You're listening to ladies and gentlemen, welcome again to the Steve Harvey Morning Show. Probably one of the greatest radio shows in the history or radio. I would go out there to say that. And what I just said is actually repeatable, arguable if you want to, but repeatable for damn show, Shirley Strawberry, one of the greatest, Steve I just repeated it. Thank you.

Yeah, get it away from christ Okay, uh, coming up with thirty two minutes after the hour, we're gonna start. We're gonna start off with the news headlines. Okay, President Trump wants I Ran, but says the US is ready to embrace peace with all who seeks it. He warns, I Ran, Uh, we'll talk about this right after that, right after we come back. Okay, Presidents, Yeah, right, you started the fight. You're listening to show all right. Well, yesterday, President Trump addressed the nation from the White House hours after I Ran lunched more than a dozen rockets on air bases in a rock housing uh US troops. Iranian said the attack was in response to a US drone strike last week that killed kasm Solamani, one of Tehran's most powerful leaders. Take a listen to the president. Please. No Americans were harmed, and last night's attack by the Iranian regime, we suffered no casualties. All of our soldiers are safe, and only minimal damage was sustained at our military basis. Our great American forces are prepared for anything. Iran appears to be standing down, which is a good thing for all parties concerned and a very good thing for the world. No American or Iraqi lives were lost because of the precautions taken, the dispersal of forces, and an early warning system that worked very well. You know, I watched too live or deliver today. Now, though he took a moment to blame the Obama administration for supplying them with the money to do all this, it was actually money that belonged to Iran which was released. It was the most presidential speech I've ever heard this man give in the entire time he's been in office. Did they say who wrote it for him? Oh? Somebody wrote him, Yeah, but he read verbat him. He has a nasal problem because when he takes his breath you can hear yeah. Well, y'all when he breathes in. It's a little hard on him, but you know it. There was the most presidential speech he's ever given since he's been in office. And the thing that I that I got out of that was that he was trying to work this out without military aggression, and even though all the entire military leadership was behind him, which scared me because I thought he was gonna come out here and say something his own and cracking. But you know, I mean for him, for this president, this was the most presidential speech he's ever given. Ever give it, And I hope we resolve this matter peaceful. Going to war, yes, yes, yes, dude, that's the holy Yeah. Totally. Yes. Yeah. The President also threatened Iran with additional sanctions and said his administration is still considering its options and quotations. However, he also appeared to offer the Iranians and olive brand, signaling the US was not seeking to launch a war with Tehran. The President spoke directly to Iranian leaders, insisting the US wants them to have a great future, one that you deserve, one of prosperity at home and harmony with the nations of the world. The United States is ready to embrace peace with all who seek it, he added, so right, that harmony with the world. Oh yeah, But but let's just hope for the sake of our military that we can resolve this without any casualties, you know, because that's just war. I've just never seen war be good for anybody. I just I just on war is not good, man. People lose their lives, and soldiers who are innocent lose their lives. You know, These these military people that we have, they didn't sign up to die. They signed up to serve, and they signed up in peaceful times. Yeah, and so I would love our soldiers and militaries all around the world to just find peaceful ways to talk stuff through. This war is not good for anybody. Marvin Gay said it. War is not the answer, was he answer? Yeah, there were so many love Kirk Hey, We've got to find that's my all time favorite song. Um. You know, Steve, there are so many military families. Since you mentioned the military and our troops and everything that were caught off guard. Thousands of troops got called for deployment. Three thousand service members from Fort Bragg alone. This is according to CNN. The eighty second Airborne is America's Guard of Honor. Uh. They can deploy anywhere in the world in eighteen hours and they take pride in doing that. But their families are worried because these paratroopers can't tell the families where they are. So, you know, this creates all kinds of you know, problems when you talk about war and rumors of wars and all of this. Yeah, not good people West not We just pray for the best and definitely pray for our troops. Pray for peace, definitely, that's something. It's something. Boy, we live in some crazy times right now. Why we can't get rid of the KKK is domestic terrorism here right here. Yeah, But you know the thing that's always puzzled me. I do not understand how a group is allowed, because of our freedom of speech, can get a permit to walk down the street that taxpayers are paying for to spread their message of hate, hate towards any particular group, even when that group pays taxes on that street. I don't understand. We should not be giving permits to hate groups to go out and perpetrate and march the evil calls towards fellow citizens. Yeah, because that doesn't make sense. What kind of rule is that? Yeah, that's why what you mean when you say we're too free. I've heard you say that a few times. We are too free because there has to be some rules. Man, we we because people take advantage of the freedoms. Yeah, and and and they do stuff. Look, man, if you don't like us for whatever the reason, Black, Jewish, gay, uh immigrants, you shouldn't have the right to come down the street and tell us that in a parade. True, you shouldn't. Yeah, yeah, keep it to yourself, all right? Coming up next, the nephew in the building, we're going to change gears here. Run that prank back right after this.

Kelly's Trump Tower condo shortly after his girl friends as Reel Clary and Joycelyn Savage came to blows. As Reel was on Instagram live Wednesday afternoon as she appeared to be gathering her things to move out of the condo, and when Joycelyn uh came in the room, both women went off on each other.

Asrael claimed she was a miner when she had sex with Joycelyn. Asrael told people watching on IG that R Kelly's been lying to you guys, and claimed he had her and Joycelyn life for him too. R Kelly's lawyer, Steve Greenberg, doesn't seem to be sweating as Reelle's allegations of under age sex, telling us he says, I have a statement written by Azrael that she provided to me voluntarily after Robert was already in jail, that she never had sex with him when she was under aged.

All right, seem stupid, Steve. It's time for today's headline. Can we get to a police You can fly if it's ten Yeah, ignorance, This is entrep of the news. After ten days of escalating tensions between the Trump administration and the Iranian government, the President read a prepared statement yesterday at the White House saying that the Iranians are standing down. He explained why he ordered the killing of General Costum Saliani in the first place. Last week, we took decisive action to stop a ruthless terrorist from threatening American lives. At my direction, the United States military eliminated the world's top tourist, Kassam Solomany. He trained terrorist armies, including Hezbollah, launching terrorist strikes against civilian targets. He fueled bloody civil wars all across the region. He viciously wounded and murdered thousands of US troops, including the planting of roadside bombs that nim and dismember their victims. In recent days, he was planning new attacks on American targets, but we stopped him. Trump's stress that he wants to see Iran change its behavior and stop supporting terrorist organizations. Although the things are stable right now, he says to Rod Steele, got to pay. The United States will immediately impose additional punishing economic sanctions or on the Iranian regime. These powerful sanctions will remain until Iran changes its behavior. Trump's pressing allies like the UK, Germany, and France to join the US and crafting a new Iran nuclear deal. By the way, the House Meanwell takes a vote later today on a resolution to the nation's Warpowers Act, designed to limit the president's ability to just order military action willy nilly, but is considered really just you know, it's not going to go anywhere, so it seems symbolic. Democrats by the way of taking control of Virginia legislature after scoring big wins in November elections, the incoming class of lawmakers includes more women and people of color than in any of Virginia's history. You know, Virginia was the seat of the Confederacy. In fact, a new Speaker of the House is the first woman to ever hold a position, and Eileen Philliicorn says, there's lots to do. People demanded we act in many areas where Virginia has actually lagged behind on the list proposals to fight climate change, gun control legislation, and hopefully become the thirty eighth street to ratify the Equal Rights Amendment.

Everybody else fell asleep, You're still up. Nah, I want to make this. I want to make this great. I want to make this. Pull me a little bit more of that. Come on, give me a little bit more this. You know what I'm saying. Let me hit this all right? I got it. I got it, you know. And it really came from a positive spot. And I know that's hard the face sometimes, but that was me just really chasing my dreams and years and years of that. And when you find yourself waking up, you know, from a seizure or coma, and your doctor really telling you when was the last time you slept five hours in a row, And I said, I can't. I couldn't tell you. But it's hard, though, ross because it is. Look, man, I think the average person has to understand that in order to be successful. Got to go hard. It requires such a massive effort. It's not it's not for the faint of heart. Just anybody fin to hand you this money? Go ahead? Yeah, really really good having that conversation. Well, I got some people coming up on that show Man that people really want to hear from. The what's the group quality Control? The two dudes that handled the me goals and CARDI B.

He know that. But tim me, here's a deal. Really, at my level, what I should have done was just kept walking. And you're talking about I'm talking about myself commenting to the TMZ cameras. But I was walking, I was having a great day. I was minding my business. You know. They had asked me a couple of questions about George Lopez's comment, you know, kind of I defended Lopez. I should have just kept walking. From now on, I'm not going to dress stuff like that my job. I have to take my own advice. Steve Harvey, stay on the wall. I wish I hadn't even really said anything, because really, man, why everybody knows the person that I really am. Like, like I always say, for those who love you, no explanation necessary. For those who hate you, no explanation acceptable. So I should just stay on the wall. All the greats know me. I ain't never had problem with nobody. So I'm asking all my fans to forgive me for having that moment that I had or being human. I'll try not to let it happen again. But the next time, Steve Harvey's just gonna stay on the wall. I did not just have to come down off the wall to address people the side wall around, go around back. Who are you looking through windows for? That's that's people be wishing to you.

It's a Strawberry letter from back in the day, from the day all right. Subject her husband messed up our love triangle. Dear Stephen Shirley, I am a single black female in one of the craziest love triangles ever, and I need your advice. A year ago, my kids and I moved to a new house and I became good friends with a married couple across the street. I got really close to the female and she and I actually started dating. Okay, her husband found out and asked to be included in our sexual fund, so we let him join in often. She eventually talked her husband into letting me move into their house so we could all be together. When my lease was up, I moved in. She promised me that she would not let him come between us. She and I went on dates and did everything together while he worked and played video games in his spare time. All of our kids loved living together and they are close friends. Now. I'm telling you everything was going great until we found out that her husband was cheating with a woman he works with. The wife told him to move out and she wanted a divorce. He wouldn't leave, so I moved out because there was constant arguing in the house and it was getting on my nerves. My girlfriend still lives with her lying, cheating husband, but she says she wants me. My kids missed their kids, and I miss seeing her every day. I think she's playing me for a fool and stringing me a long while she works out things with her husband. I can only see her when it's convenient for her, and she doesn't call and text me like she used to. Her husband is childish and messy, and I don't know why she can't see it. We had a good thing going until he cheated on her. I have guys that want to date me, but I tell them I'm in a relationship. What should I do wait for her to leave him or get back on the dating scene. Please advise? Okay, I agree with you. This is one of the craziest love triangles ever I think that we've ever had. On the Strawberry letter. As far as love triangles go, but the nerve of you to be mad and indignant about her husband cheating, I mean you started it. You started an affair with his wife. Hello, So how is he wrong for cheating? And you still want to be with his wife? You still want to be there. So you guys are still cheating too. Uh. It amazes me that you don't get that part of it. So I say to you stop. You got to leave this married couple alone. You got to stay out of it. You see, she's acting funny right now, so there's a problem. So you got to stay out of their relationship. You said, you have guys that want to date you, So why don't you date some of them? I mean, if they want to date you, you're asking what should you do? What should you do? You tell the guys you're in a relationship. You're not in a relationship. Okay, they're in a relationship. You're like the side piece of you know, they're in a marriage and a relationship. Uh. You call her husband childish and messy. You're being childish right now, and you're being messy. Okay, this is their marriage that you're into, all right, Come on, Stevey. It was crazy, right, Mike will gone finishing capital. Well let's do it, Steve. Well, since I'm trending, Yeah, yeah, you are. This probably why right here her husband messed up. I love triangle this, Stephen Sherley. I'm a single black female in one of the craziest love triangles ever. I need your advice. All right, I'm glad you wrote this year. Go, me and my kids moved into a new house. Now, how do you have kids with another man? That's how you make babies? So we already know that did happened? And you made it a few times. You say how many? It was? Two? Three? We don't know. And I moved to a new house and I became good friends with a married couple just right across the street. Now, I got really close to the female. She and I actually started dating. Wait a minute, hold up, how you just wrote this line and act like this? I got close to the freemane she and I actually started day That ain't close to a female. That's that's more In that her husband found out and asked if he could be included in our sexual fun. We let him join in often. She eventually talked to her husband and letting me move into the house. So we get off, Peter, go what that's the best damn strapper, and let out of ever work. When I come back, what I have to say. It's gonna be brilliant, all right, Steve, hang on to it. We'll be back with part two of Steve's response to the Strawberry Letter. We'll be back at twenty three minutes after the hour, subject her husband messed up our love triangle. We'll get back into it right after this. You're listening, all right, Steve, Come on, let's recap today's Strawberry Letters subject her husband messed up our love triangle. All I can tell you so far this lady got some kids, bought this new house when it moved into this new house across the street, and just became good friends with a married couple across the street. A nice couple came over, bought some sugar, you know, pitch pound cake, welcome to you know, love pound you know, and then you know, while they was you know, over there welcoming her to the neighborhood.

Still, what's your favorite cookie? The ones you got? And next thing you know? Huh? The lady became friend. They started dating. Her husband found out and asked could he be included in our sexual fund? Wow, so we let him join in often. She then talked her husband into into letting me move in today house so we could all be together. It's going good. This is America too. This in to unite space. When my lease was up, I moved in. Here we go. She promised me that she would not let him come between us. Lady, you is to come between No, no, no, you can't ask her not to let the husband come between us. You are the in between you it. You didn't wedge their way into another house. You didn't wedge yourself into a marriage, and now you want everything your way.

Going to New York, You'll say, I got a cook, Yeah, you need to cook something. Well, I'll take him out. He doesn't do something in this marriage? Sure to do something I ever asked me to cook? You didn't got a sending his man storm and harness. He working, He got to come home to nothing. Still something shure that was not in the vows till you think you cooked and fire you. Oh that does not include I've been a snigger, he cried. That's sad. Anyway, Come on, let's get into the closing remark. I don't know aboud to eat out every day? Take God every day. I mean I cook sometimes, just sometimes five we've been married five years, just going down the hot lines and rubbing his hand across the metal pots, and I love him. Come on, something, you know my clothes remarks to day is directed at myself and for anybody who needs this piece of advice. You know, sometimes, because we are human, we are subject to air always and even in our attempts to improve ourselves and become better people in the new century. Excuse me, the new decade twenty twenty. You know, which is one of my things that's become a better person, a better man, better far, better father, better husband, just an overall better person. We're still human and we're subject to air and one thing that I have to remind myself of and it's difficult sometimes. And this goes for anybody that this may be applicable to when you are climbing and you are striving for greater things in your life. I have said this before, you have to stay on the wall. And I took a moment myself, being the human that I am, and I got down off the wall, and I shouldn't have. I remember when a pastor sent this to me, Bishop alm as a matter of fact, a good friend of mine from one of the big megachurches in LA. Something was going on in my life. I don't remember the exact instance. I had so many, but I was going through it and I was coming under attack, and he sent me a Bible verse and at the end of it he said, stay on the wall. And it doesn't matter whether you know the scripture or not, but stay on the wall means simply that stay on the wall. If you're up on the wall. Stay there. Now, that will be people who will be throwing at you because you're up on the wall. They're just haters. They only have a job. I mean, who does that? How small of them and how small do they have to be to have to throw up at you on the wall. Anyway, it didn't really hurt when people throw up on the wall. Even if the stone or rock or piece of glass hits you, they threw it up, It don't really hurt. So why would you get down off the wall to get down on the same level they own. So now they get the audacity in the nerd to feel equal. And now if they throw the rock, it's right at face level. I should have just stayed on the wall. You have to remember to stay on the wall. Steve Harvey has to remember to stay on the wall. All of us have to remember in twenty twenty to stay on the wall. It's the only place to be. If God has gotten you to a certain point, if you're the first person in your family to go to college, if you're the first one to get a supervisor position, if you're the first one to make more than fifty thousand dollars, if you're the first one in your family that's ever had a successful marriage, if you're the only one in your family that's decided to travel, if you're the first one in your family decided decided to be something other than what all of your other family members, friends, and co workers are. If you've made any of those decisions to be more than average, or if you've just decided, I just want to be a little bit above average, and you've began to climb up the wall. When things happen of the adverse nature, stay on the wall. Why address it? But I did. I had a moment of weakness. I was just walking. I thought I was minding my business, but I really wasn't because what I did was I allowed somebody else's business that has nothing to do with my business to become a part of my day. And all I had to do was stay on the wall. But you know, every now and then that will sneak sin and he wins. But when he wins, it don't have It's not a permanent win. He had a small little victory over me today, but he won't get it again tomorrow, next week, and next month, because I'm not coming down off the wall no more. I'm gonna stay in the place that God has risen me to. I'm gonna stay in the area that God has taken me to. I think you should stay in the place that God has gotten you too. Don't allow to hate us from down below, throwing rocks up high to get to you. Stay on the wall for all Steve Every contests, No purchase necessary, void where prohibited.
