Y'all know what time of y'all don't know. Y'all have a suit looking back the back down giving them like the Milican buck things and it's cubs. True good it. Steve listening to the movie together for Steve hand please me, I don't join join me? You doing me? Honey? You gotta turn you are you gotta turn to turn them out? Turn? You got to turn them out? Then turn the water the water go. Come come on your fad, huh, I sure will. Good morning everybody, y'all listening to the voice, Come on dig me now one it only Steve Harvey got a radio show. Yeah, man boy, God has been good to me. Man, I can't really count at all. You can't either, you know, it's all in perspective. You really can't count all that God has done for you. If you look at every little thing. It's unbelievable. The things He's done for us. How many times you know we got through something without even talking to him about it. He just he just blessed us with it. How many you know? It's just it's so much that the fact that you wake up in the morning, the fact that you still have a place to stay, the fact that you know, may be struggling out here, but guess what, you're still going to work. You you know, you live in check the check, but but you're making it all. You got all the plates spinning. You know, it's hard. You got a lot of plate spinning, but you keep him up there somewhere every now and near one. But he put two more back up there to look a little bit better, and you got to get to spending them so it all works. And then you got a lot of people who just can't seem to mentally put it together as to you know, why their life isn't in a position that they wanted to be. We talked about this oftentimes, but I want to try another angle with you to day. You know, maybe it's you. Have you ever thought about that? Maybe it's you. Maybe it's no external force that's at fault, like you keep making the excuse to be. You know, so many people I hear, well, if this hadn't have done this, if he hadn't have done that, if she hadn't have done that, I would have been further along. I wasted all my time, my years with this man, and he did this, and I could have been here and I could have been there, and this woman she did this to me. If she hadn't have done that, I could have been here and I could have been there. Maybe it's you. Maybe it's not really that external force that you keep making it out to be. See, I've done this to myself before. Once again, I'm talking to you about something I know about. I've done this to myself before. I've had the reason I wasn't where I wanted to be. I had it figured out as some external force. I had worked it out in my mind. Clearly it wasn't me. Because if so and so, or if this hadn't happened, and if they hadn't have done this, I would have been further along up the road. That's what I was saying. But WOLDO hold on it or learned a valuable lesson? Man, See, if you don't ever let it go, it's gonna be hard for you to go. If you don't ever let it go, it's gonna be hard for you to go. I was listening to Bishop td Jake's one day, and I heard him say, you can't drive your car if you're gonna keep looking in the rearview mirror. You go outside and try that. Try to drive your car, but keep your eye in the rearview mirror. All you looking at is where you're being. All you're looking at in that rear view mirror is where you're passed, or should have passed, something you should have moved on from. All you're doing is looking in that rearview mirror at what happened back there. If you don't stop looking in the rearview mirror, you're gonna crash your car over and over and over again. All you got to slow it down so bad in order for you to keep looking in that rearview mirror. If you don't learn to let it go, it's gonna be hard for you to go forward because you keep reviewing the past. The past is the past, and I know it's hard. Man. I watched a show and this lady said, well, I just can't ever forgive them for that, or guess what. Guess what God may have already forgiven that person. That person may be extremely remorseful, could have gone to God and godd and forgiveness for it years ago. But you you sit here and you keep hanging on to the back. I can't ever forgive that. Then I heard Bishop Jakes come on the show one time and say something that really really struck on You keep drinking the poison, waiting on your enemy to die. He said that. I just shook my head and went, Wow, you drinking the poison, waiting on your enemy to die. Revenge is poison to you. You know, if hatred is poison to you. Unforgivingness when you won't forgive a person, that person could be going on with their life, made the right with God. Don't know how you're feeling. They're skipping through life now. You make adjustments every time you see them. And it takes energy. Man, it takes so much energy to hate. It takes so much energy not to forgive too. That ain't come in the room. You got to avoid them. Stay over here, Oh here they come. Now, you got to make a situation over here. They come into the house. It's family reunion. Oh here they come. And where they're gonna be in the basement. I'm going up on the third floor. I want to go ahead and get some barbecue. She out there at the barbecue, staying, oh lord, I don't want a barbecue. I just eat to take the salad. People man take themselves all out of position, trying to make adjustments when if you it would simplify your life, if you would let just let it go. Maybe you ain't where you need to be because of them external forces altogether. Maybe you're not where you need to be cause of you. Because you won't let it go, you won't move forward. Look at this, ladies. Let's say you've been in a situation with a man for years. It didn't work out for whatever the reason. I got, I got what you said he did, I got what he did, I got all of that, YadA, YadA YadA. When you get through, did not God get you through it? Did not he allow you to survive it. I got you been a little bit bruised, But did he not get you through it? So, now that he's freed you from it, now he didn't went on. He got a whole an other family over that somewhere. He not. Now he trying to make it right because maybe he learned the mistake he made and now he trying to be a better man. He just trying to get it right now. But you sitting that holding on to it, You're drinking the poison, waiting on your enemy to die. So now instead of you enjoying the blessing of finally being free from a situation that was not healthy for you. You create an even more unhealthy situation in your mind by hating, by having revengeful thoughts, by hoping he fall on his face. Maybe you're even doing something to the other situation to make sure they struggle. Oh man, you're drinking a poison, waiting on your enemy to die. Maybe you ain't where you ought to be in life, not because of your external forces, but maybe it's you. You know, I had to catch myself. You know, I said a thousand times. If you keep doing what you've been doing, you're gonna keep getting what you've been getting. Maybe you need to change your business practice. Maybe it's the way you've been doing a certain thing. You just got to let that go, because if you let it go, it frees you up to a goal. It's hard to get to the next level with all that baggage. To morning show ladies and gentlemen, Boys and girls, this is your boy and nephew, Timmy. You have stepped into the Steve Harvet morning Show.

Right after this you're listening to all right, guys, So this is trending Sunday night at the Beet Awards, Great Awards Sunday night. But yeah, Regina Hall did her thing. But let me tell you this, miss beautiful outstanding. Taraji p Henson presented Tyler Perry with the Ultimate Icon Award and it was so fitting for him. In his acceptance speech he spokes about he spoke about self sufficiency and ownership. And here's what he had to say about the piece of land where his massive Tyler Perry studios are located in Atlanta. The studio was once a Confederate Army base and I want you to hear this, which meant that there was Confederate soldiers on that base plotting and planning out how to keep three point nine million negroes enslaved. Now that land is owned by one Negro. That's what I'm talking about. Yes, yeah, yes, And Shirley, let me tell y'all something. I have been on that land, you know, yapping man. I was fortunate enough to be in the show um Boot, which is a halloween he had and man to see all this property. I had no idea that the history of it. But let me tell you something, Tyler Many has a incredible piece of property and it's doing everything film and television and if you go over it and visit that, Remember Shirley, we were invited to go out. Yeah, I remember exactly building it. I was in media goes to jail, but my part got cut out. But I still get my residual checks. They're down to like twelve dollars. Now shut you was in the jail? What was you in? They came to the studio and filmed Steve and I okay, well I was in I was in boot and man, Tyler is Tyler is just remarkable. Man. Yeah, when you watched Tyler at work and I've never I mean you we see the finished product. When you actually get to see Tyler at work, and I mean going this trailer, put on this actual character, come out, do it, go back in, then put another one on, come back out, standing in this place that was next to the other character, and you're like, oh my god. He goes back and forth three or four times, and then at the end of it, he's like, wow, I just saw him do four people standing in the same circle talking to each other, talking to himself Tommy at one time. That's why he won the Ultimate Icon Award last night, and he deserves it. Yes, he does, Yes, he does, and the speech was powerful. He's still encouraging people, edifying them, uplifting them, loving them, and and and employing them. You know, I loved what people like Cecily Tyson and people like that were talking about how he gives black women, you know, work in this industry where they may not have gotten it before, especially if you're older and you know, people may have forgotten about you. He was like, we haven't forgotten you, right, we haven't forgot. We still know exactly who you are and you're still relevant today, right he um. He talked about creating his own seat at the table, which essentially is how he's able to give our black actors roles and hit movies. Check out watch what Tyler. Check this out? Well, everybody was fighting for a seat at the table, talking about Oscar so white Oscar So when I say, y'all go ahead and do that, But why are you fighting for a seat at the table. I'll be down in Atlanta building my own because because what I know for sure is that if I could just build this table, God would prepare it for me in the presence of my enemies. You've better preach Tyler Perry. That was biblical right there. Tyla has given a lot of people from work Man one of them and glad to be one of them. Thank you, miss the Tyler Perry.

The word on the street is that Floyd Mayweather's DJ J Bling was jumped Sunday night by Ti and his entourage in La Apparently Jay Bling. Yeah, this is crazy, right, Jay Bling was hanging out at a restaurant in West Hollywood because you know, everyone was in town for the Beet Experience and for the Beet Awards. Um. Anyway, he was hanging out a restaurant in West Hollywood when he was approached by TI and they had a brief conversation. Then when Jay Bling went into the bathroom, five or six men from TI's entourage followed him into the breastroom and jumped him. Jay Bling was not seriously injured. He walked away with a few scratches, but he did accuse Tis entourage of stealing his five chains, each worth four thousand dollars. Now, this could have stemmed from some crazy comments Jay Bling, Yeah, that's twenty thousand's too much on your neck, but go ahead. But I'm sure a TI probably had in his wallet. They're right. Um. Anyway, Ti TI's entourage, he accused him of stealing each of his chains for four thousand dollars. This could have stemmed from some crazy comments j Bling made back in February on Instagram Live about how Tis wife Tani was his first light skin crush back when she was a member of the group Escape. That could have been what set t off could have been. No, that ain't what it is. What do you think it was. I'm gonna tell you exactly what it is. When they saw when they saw Jay Blaine, jay Blin had on them Gucca sneakers, and that right down is the reason why he got his hands with Tia told y'all, y'all, we're winning these Gucci until we get through with this boycott. I told you what I thought the boycott was over. I know an announcement saying that he made no announcement. Okay, I have left mine in my closet. You have to wait till TI makes the announcement that we are no longer win Gucci. But now Jay Bling think he can go to the p T boards kick it. Afterwards had dinner with the GGS only sneakers that it gets your ass what leader? And we don't move until he says, I don't go against nothing. I ain't never own noun. But the fact I'm saying is I haven't gone against it. I have actually walked in't even bore not good your shoes off of this place because Jip told me we can't wear nuh. I walked right on in there.

Okay, Tommy, let's go, ladies and gentlemen, with National News. We have the one and only miss Anne Trip. Thanks Tommy, Thanks everybody. Good morning, everybody. This is a trip with the news in Washington. Nine to eleven first responded schedule to meet personally today with the leader of the US Senate with the aim of getting full and permanent fun of their healthcare and disability package or the victim's compensation fund. The group is to sit down with Republican Mitch McConnell. That's the guy who said just last week that he didn't understand why comedian and activist John Stewart was quote so bent out of shape over the situation. US Treasury Department says, get this, it's conducting an investigation into the circumstances leading to the announced delay in the production of the new twenty dollar bill that was supposed to bear the likeness of Harriet Tubman. In a letter to Senda Chuck Schumer, the Acting Inspector General Richard Delmar says the probe is going to be included in a larger examination of the Bureau of Engraving and Printings management practices for projects already in the works. In twenty sixteen, you may remember, the Treasury Department announced that Andrew Jackson's picture on the twenty dollar bill was going to be replaced by Harriet Tubmans for the year twenty twenty, making Miss Tubman the first woman on the US bill since Martha Washington and the first black person period. However, last month, Donald Trump's Treasury Secretary, Steve Nuchein announced that new bills would not be out until at least twenty twenty eight, when way out of office. US just to court judge in Maryland says new evidence paint say well if he says a disturbing picture of the motive behind the Trump administrations and sistance on asking everybody in the country about their citizenship on the twenty twenty census. The judge rule last week that there was enough evidence to warrant the reopening of the case or the focus on whether the citizenship question is actually a violation of minority rights. The judge sites newly discovered emails apparently showing that the question is intended to discriminate. President Trumps signed an executive order aimed at increasing price trans parents transparency rather than healthcare. Trump's calling on the Department of Health and Human Services to develop rules allowing patients to see healthcare prices upfront. With disorder, hospitals will be required to publish prices that reflect what people actually pay for services. More price transparency will mean more competition, and Trump insists that the competitions means that the cost of healthcare will then go way, way, way down by the way. The presidents signed executive order imposing new sanctions on Iran as well as several specific Iranians. The folks at Treasury say first they're going to go after the Supreme Leaders Office and later the Foreign Minister. The sanctions aimed at bring Iran to the negotiation table. Secretary Steve Manushian says they're serious people who say these are just symbolic. That's not the case at all. We've literally locked up tens and tens of billions of dollars. These sanctions will come along with additional entities where people are hiding money. So no, these sanctions are highly effective and finally, today is what it is what it is, right, janis that's the way a lot of stuff goes. Now back to the Steve Harvey Morning Show. You're listening to Harvey Morning Show. Well, it seems that zero is a lucky number in North Carolina. North Carolina State Lottery had two thousand winners this past Saturday night, and they all picked the same numbers in the pick four game. Guess what all two thousand winners pick. This is a crazy right, It's another crazy story. Zero zero zero four, I mean three or four? Poy zero zero zero zero zero zero pick four? Yeah, pick folk, you can pick the same I didn't know you can pick the same numb. Well, a seven point eight million dollars jackpot was up for grasps when the seemingly impossible number combination was drawn. One thousand winning tickets that were purchased at one dollar will pay five thousand dollars. The other one thousand tickets were sold for fifty cents. They'll pay twenty five hundred dollars. That ain't bad for fifty six that's crazy, But I love this story. You know how man that'd be? I had zero zero zero zero and then nineteen other people pick the same Yeah, that's set made me you thought that's yours. Yeah, then everybody comes in with the same exact number. That's when you won. When everybody comes get you want to line them up and slap everybody. Damn pick another day, pick your own, what your birthday day? Well, then when you guys pick numbers, do you do you um pick? Do you play just one dollar? Or do you buy more than one dollars? And I used to do like ten, but I do quickness. I see My problem is I do like one hundred dollars at one time. Really, you know, in a whole bunch of quick picks, y'all will append on how much it is shirty if it's like a really big jackpot. Yeah, I do a couple hundred dollars. Yeah, I don't think I've ever in life spent over like five dollars. Well, shureley, let's just say we talk about two hundred million that's owned a big billboard you pads by going to work. You know, it's like you can't spend a hundred when hundred dollars to me if I'm gonna be so upset a bottoms, what are we talking about? Yeah, but that's that's not that's a different kind of gamble that has to do with corns and bunions. Okay, I can't do you do, Shirty? That's just do you do anything. It's nothing that Shirley was shot to she dropped. That's it. Just shopping. Yeah, yeah, I used to shop. I don't even shop as much as I used to do. But I know you've been shopping, Shirley. Oh no, how is it? We've been shopping up with everyone on the show. We never went. Yeah, this is an experienced boy. This is like a ride at the amusement park. You don't understand. When she walks in, whether it's Sacks or Niemans or norstrooms, whatever it is. As soon as she walks in the door, people are saying, morning, Miss Shirley. Everybody, Shirley, how you do Miss Shirley? We got we got those shoes in, Miss Shirley, Miss Shirley. I listen, it finally arrived. I'm talking. No matter where you go, there are boxes that have arrived from overseas for shirty. Huh. And you won't play a lotto I told you I play it sometimes, like for five dollars. But that's it all right? Coming up at thirty four after the hour. I have a bizarre and tragic story out of Houston. Wait till you guys hear this right after this. You're listening Steve Harvey Morning Show. Temmy Junior, this is a story out of your hometown. Okay. A twenty six year old Houston mother has been charged with criminally negligent homicide after police say she ran over her three year old son during a game of chicken. What what? Yeah? Yeah, yeah, this is so sad. I hate to even do this story. Surveillance video from June eleventh shows Lexis Stagg backing up her two thousand and six Lincoln Navigator as her three children chased after it. She didn't switch. She then switched gears and drove forward, striking her three year old son and trapping him under the right front tire. Stagg then continued to drive forward and ran over the child again with the right with the back right tire. What is what what? Houston police responded to the scene, and paramedics took the boy to the hospital, where he was has pronounced dead dead. Stag, who police said showed no signs if vis a visible intoxication. She was arrested and will face up to ten years in prison if she is convicted. Her two other children have been placed with family members. Wow, wow, what what? What? When? Years? Many more than when does an adult play chicken in a car? What is three years? Is? How do you play the game of chicken? I don't want it. But if it involves a car and a three year and a child, this don't sound like a game you should be playing. And you have she has three children. She just happened to run over the three year old man. This is just ignorance. Yeah, that's all this is. This is just playing ignorance. This is these are there are certain people that don't need to be parents, Yeah, that don't need to have children. Yeah, as a mother, this hurt my hurts my heart, I'm sure as a as a parent, and hurt hurs and all of the parents in our listening audience. This right here. I mean, whatever happened to simple games that were you to play with our kids, like peekaboo that still works with small children. A three year old is good with that. So you going in reverse and you go forward, run over? You don't understand this, I don't. She's twenty six years old, so you should have some good common sense at this point in life. You would hope, yes, but you have three. But she switched gears though, yeah, and didn't run. Oh, come on, I'm not understanding at all. You know what I'm what do y'all think? You think ten years isn't No, no, it's not. The punishment doesn't fit this crime. But I'm sure how she feels inside is killing her. I'm sure as a mother, I don't see that she would have any remorse the fact that you out there playing this game in the first place sense. I would just hope as a mother who gave birth to this child, you know that this has snapped her back into reality. You know, well, crime, we're from Houston. I think judge on this guy. I think the judge that did this should give her twenty five to thirty years in the penitential. That's what I think. Wow, I'm sorry, No, that makes sense. I got kids, nast thing. I want something that's something that happened to my kids. I think about that every day. So the last thing I'm gonna do is be the person inflicting the pain on my child. That don't make sense. Yeah, but you gotta think about she has two other children. I'm sure they'll miss her mom there with relatives now, so you know, it says the um she could face up to ten years, which makes me leads me to believe that this is what this kind of crime carries, the punishment that this crime carries. So, yeah, it's just a sad, sad, sad situation. I want to be the whole I don't want to be like to do five and then you get out. Yeah, he do the whole good behavior than do the whole teen. Yeah, this is this is really bad. Possibly they've been doing because you said they would. She was in the car, she going in reverse. Yeah, what what what is that about? Yeah, the surveillance video shows her backing up as her three children chased after it. Okay, stop and see what the children want. Yeah, then she switched gears and drove forward. Yeah that's the thing. You saw the kids running after the car. So what are you switching gears for? I just don't you telling me. Ain't no drugs involved in this, man, nothing, nobody in the right frame of mind doing nothing like that, Alice said, they showed she showed no signs of visible intoxication. None. Yeah, right, chain game. Yeah, this is this is really bad? It really is? First position, Yeah, it really is. All right. Coming up next, we're gonna lighten the mood a bit to the nephews in the building. The prank that's coming up at forty three after the hour.

What's wrong? That's what they wrote on a letter. You didn't say it is right the end the subject, but I repeated it. Okay, Well say it because a lot of people didn't hear you, all right, Can you turn a garden tool into a husband? That's not what they're saying. I like that much better. Here we go, Dear Stephen Shirley. I am a thirty three year old woman and I had a one night stand with the twenty nine year old, very sexy Brazilian guy. He gave me the best sex of my life, and I never expected to hear from him again. But he called me a few days after we hook up, and now we've been dating for nine months. Not long after we started dating. Whenever we went out to our favorite club together, I would notice that a lot of older women approached him, and they would often ask him to dance or send him a drink over to our table. This made me very uncomfortable at first, but he told me that he used to be a trainer and they were all members of the gym. That being said, I know I should always trust my intuition, because it turns out he was lying. He had come clean eventually because his phone. He had to come clean because his phone was ringing day and night and I couldn't take it. He told me that he used to be a male escort for single, rich, older women, and he made a very good living doing it. He was on some kind of dating app and he admitted that he had sex with most of the women that he dealt with, which was close to one hundred women over the course of three years. He says he hated it, but it was great money. He says, that's in the past, asked, and he wants to move towards me. I'm having trouble seeing a future with a man that's had bat many women and is so recognizable when we're out together. He said. I should be glad that he had so much sexual practice, since I love the way he pleases me, and I do love it, but is he husband material? I don't know if I should let this man go or try to take it to the next level with him. What do you think can you turn a garden tool into a husband? Well, well, well, aren't you the one who's calling the kettle black here? Okay, you're judging him, but you started off the letter with you had a one night stand with a very sexy Brazilian guy. Okay, so the problem isn't that the one night stand. The problem is he has so many women. That's the issue. You think he's a garden tool. That's what you're saying. What is he to think of you when you had a one night stand with him? Okay? And you know what it really is all about what you can deal with? Okay, and you've been dealing with him for nine months you have. I mean, you say you love the way You didn't say you loved him, You said you love the way he loves you. And you're considering him being a husband or a marriage Have you guys talked about marriage? He has? He talked about that with you, because usually that's a conversation you have together. It's also about does his actions match his words? Does he do what he says he's going to do. If his actions don't match his words, then let the loser go. If he's changed and his actions do match his words, well it'll take time. But you know, if you do love him or fall in love with him, and you love the way he pleases you and and all of that, hey, you can give him a chance. You had a one night stand with him, So again, who are you to judge? People can change, and we say this all the time on this show. They will definitely change for the right person. The question now becomes are you the right person for him? And is he the right person for you? You guys have been together for nine years, surely you know a little bit about each other. You've gone through your your your ninety day probation period and all of that. So you know, if you guys are growing closer together, discuss these things. If he's changed, he just might be husband material, all right? So uh a number and one night stands, Junior. You know what, Shirley, I'm gonna actually agree with Shirley up to a point. But the problem I think she's happen She don't understand Timmy, and I think that you can understand better than Shirley would come on the same level. She's dealing with a sexual celebrity and can't handle it. Like that he a sexual celebrity, you can't handle it. The problem of you is caught up in the hundred women that keep coming up to him and saying, oh my god, let me send you a drink. Now, you've benefiting from the process too, because if you had the table, they say to you a drake and him a drink, what did you complaining for? It's a hundred women over three years, that's not a lot. That's thirty three a years. Hey, that's not a real hot number. Thirty three year. That's what he's doing. He a sexual celebrity. You can't be mad. It's like who you. I would have celebrited if somebody comes say hi. You can't get mad because I'm famous for something naked celebrity. You talk about a hundred women. That's nothing compared to Will Chamberlain. Oh that ain't nothing to you, half, No, that is nothing to super Fly. The mad that is nobody. It's just a hundred. Get out the weight of yourself him and go. You won. Yeah, you're the woman sitting at the table hello, not a sexual celebrity and shows you you can't handle it. I hate to give him somebody else. I hate to say it because you're complaining too much. Now you've been with him nine months. He told you, Okay, cool, this is what it is. I want you. You are this, this is it, So let's quit tripping, all right. Listen, listen, listen. We'll have a part two of the Strawberry Letter coming up at twenty three after the hours subject can you turn a garden tool into a husband.

So after they started dating, she said a lot of older women would approach him often ask him to dance or send him a drink to the table, things like that, and she said it was uncomfortable for her at first. But he told her that he used to be a trainer. So you know, she's a little upset. Suppose that he lied to her he used to be a trainer and they were all members of the gym. Okay the jim, you guys have to use that one. But anyway, she said that she she should always trust her to intuition, and it turns out he was lying. He had come clean eventually, and see that's another thing. This man came clean. He told you the truth. He said he used to be an escort and he escorted older, rich women.

All right, We'll be back with more of the Steve Harvey Morning Show right after this commed date. You're listening to Steve Harvey Morning Show. All right, guys, so this is trending Sunday night at the Beet Awards, Great Awards Sunday Night. Yeah, Regina Hall did her thing. But let me tell you this, miss beautiful outstanding. Taraji p Henson presented Tyler Perry with the Ultimate Icon Award, and it was so fitting for him. In his acceptance speech he spokes about he spoke about self sufficiency and ownership. And here's what he had to say about the piece of land where his massive Tyler Perry studios are located in Atlanta. The studio was once a Confederate Army base and I want you to hear this, which meant that there was Confederate soldiers on that base plotting and planning on how to keep three point nine million nigroes enslaved. Now that land is owned by one Negro. That's what I'm talking about. Yeah, yes, and Shirley Julia, let me tell y'all something I have been on that land. You know. I was fortunate enough to be in the show um Boot, which is the Halloween film that he had and man to see all this property. I had no idea that the history of it. But let me tell you something. Tyler Man. Tyler has a incredible piece of property and doing everything for film and television. Tyler is just remarkable. Man. When you watch Tyler at work and I've never I mean you we see the finished product, when you actually get to see Tyler at work, and I mean going this trailer, put on this actual character, come out, do it, go back in there, put another one on, come back out standing this place that was next to the other character, and you're like, oh my god. He goes back and forth three or four times, and then at the end of it, he's like, wow, I just saw him do four people standing in the same circle talking to each other, talking to himself Tommy at one time. That's why he won the Ultimate Icon Award last night, and he deserves it. Yes he does, Yes he does. And the speech was powerful. He's still encouraging people, edifying them, uplifting them, loving them and and and employing them. You know, I loved what people like Cecily Tyson and people like that were talking about how he gives black women, you know, work in this industry where they may not have gotten it before, especially if you're older and you know, people may have forgotten about you. He was like, we haven't forgotten you, right, we haven't. We still know exactly who you are and you're still relevant today, right he um. He talked about creating his own seat at the table, which essentially is how he's able to give our black actors roles and hit movies. Check out watch what Tyler said, check the out. Well, everybody was fighting for a seat at the table talking about Oscar so White. Oscar so White. I said, y'all go ahead and do that. But while you fighting for a seat at the table, I'll be down in Atlanta building my own because because what I know for sure is that if I could just build this table, God would prepare it for me in the presence of my enemies. You better preach, Tyler Perry. That was biblical right there. All right, when we come back, we'll have our last break of the day, and Steve's not here today. Steve left us with some closing remarks. We'll hear those right after this at forty nine after you're listening to morning show. All right, Steve, last break of the day, please leave us with some closing remarks. Well, I got some to end your day. To start your day, this is to help you make ready for your blessings. Now, what I'm gonna give you is gonna be hard for most people to do. I already know that it was difficult quote for me to do. But a very very wealthy person taught this to me, and I didn't think much of it until I did it, and boil, boil, boy, did it help make room for what God had for me? Not only that it freed me up. And I'll tell you what this very very successful people person told me. If I told you his name, you probably wouldn't know him. He's not famous. He's just extremely wealthy. And when I tell you extremely wealthy, I mean it. But he taught this to me. He said, in your journey, if you want to really clear the slate, get a fresh start, and prepare yourself to receive what all God has for you, you have to take inventory of the people in your life. And when you take this inventory, you are going to have to act as though you are gardener. You are a gardener with the grove, and your grove is your life. The things you want to bear fruit from God your trees. You want apples this season, you want lemons, you want grapefruits, you want peaches, you want pass plums. You've got to take care of your orchid in order to take care of your archid. I notice you've all noticed that from time to time you see the gardeners outside pruning trees. They cutting them back, They're clipping dead ends off. You know why, because that maximizes the growth of the good in the tree. If you take the dead, unnecessary branches off, the withering ends, it allows for the tree to bear more fruit. So, Steve, how do you take inventory? People? This is what he taught me. He said, you have three kinds of people in your life. He said, you have people who are proch you with nothing but bad news. All of us know them. Everybody has somebody that walks up to them and every time they start talking something wrong, or every time they give you a phone call, they bring you bad news. And the bad news don't just be about them, They bring you bad news about you. Did you hear that? There they were saying about you down here, and you just go mad. Have you ever had a person that every time they came up to you, you just felt dark because they just bought bad news. Those people that you have in your life, you don't need them. I want you to put go through your phone contacts and everybody that is no good, that never moves your life forward, doesn't give you any helpful advice, doesn't help you aid you in any way, has nothing but bad news and want something for you. One side of friendships, I want you to put a dot next to that contact tacks name, a black dot. The next person you have in your life are called sometimy people. They the fifty fifties in your life. They cool over here as long as you're doing this, but they're not cool over here. You can take them here, but you can't take them there. You can discuss this, but you can't bring up that. You can lead them that way, but you can't show them the other way. Sometimes they cool with you about stuff, sometimes they ain't. Those are called sometimy people or what we're gonna call fifty fifty people. Everybody got them in their life. When you have a fifty fifty person, what I want you to do is put an asterid by their name that contact put in asterid. Remember all the bad news people that's always bringing you bad news in darkness, a black dot next to their name. The next person is the fifty fifty person they sometimey they cool, here they ain't cool. Then put an asterisk by their name. The last person that you know are people who are very supportive of you, people who are willing to pray for you, people who always try to be uplifting, people who when they got news for you, they try to make it of the positive nature. A person who comes to your aid and your rescue. A person that picks up the phone just to see how you're doing, and you bet not mention that something's wrong, because here they come. It's people in your life, man, that you don't even have to talk when you're around them. You could just sit and be steal and y'all just cool like that. Everybody got that ride or die that I don't care what you tell them. They don't pass judgment. They just your friends. Well, when you have that person, and I'm gonna be real honest with you, it ain't a whole lot of them, I want you to put a check by their name. So you got a black dot next to the dark people who bring you none but bad news, negativity, something wrong. Every time you got an asterick by the name of the people who are fifty fifty sometimey people and you got a check by the people that's always supportive prayer for bringing you good news. Now here's what you do. I want you to take everybody with a black dot next to their name, and everybody with an asterisk next to their name, and I want you to block them as your contact, block them out your phone, and block them from your email. If the family, block them from your phone and block them from your email. All I want you to have is people who have your phone number, that have a check by your name. You're gonna lose a lot of people, but guess what, you're gonna gain a lot of ground. You don't have no idea how much time you waste with people in your life who are fifty fifty and always got bad news. If you eliminate them, you've cleaned house, your inventories cleaned. You now have cleared room to receive the blessings God have for you in this year. I dare you to try it. It works. It sounds cruel, it sounds like it's hurtful, but man, if you want to win, you gotta do it. Those are my closing remore. Drop it bab that no phone block. I'm gonna tell you something man got. That's a very real thing. Y'all. Have a great weekend. For all Steve Harvey contests, no purchase necessary, void were prohibited.
