Y'all know what time of y'all don't know, y'all bat all suit looking back to back down, giving them move like the milking buck bus things. And it's y'all true good it. Steve listening to movie together for Stu Barn Please, Mommy, I don't joy by joining me. You gotta gotta turn hur, you gotta turn to turn out, got to turn them out, to turn turn the water the water. Come come on your fab it, I sure will. Come morning, everybody, y'all listening to the voice, Come on dig me now wanted 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 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 plates spinning, but you keep him up there somewhere. Every now I near one break, 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 today. 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 that 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 looking at in that rear view mirrors 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 rear view 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 God 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 poor 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 they 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 outead 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, it just didn't work out. I got I got what you say 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, got some cuts on you, 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 other family over that somewhere. He 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're sitting there holding onto 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 the 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. If you don't let it go, it's gonna be hard for you to go. You can't keep driving your car looking in the rear view mirror. Come on, man, Forgiveness is not for the other person. Forgiveness is for you to show. Ladies and gentlemen, have it, meet it wanting. What am I talking about, Steve? What are you talking about? I'm talking about attention, undivided attention yours and everybody you know, because right now to Steve Harvan Morning Show is on a cracking baby. Good morning everybody. You welcome to the ride Incredible ride radio. Don't nobody do it like us? Shirley Strawberry, That is so true, Steve, Good morning to you and calor food real, good morning, Steve. What's up crew, ladies and gentlemen, batman head, Robin Green horned head, Kato, we got junior boy morning everybody, sho, I am ladies a gentleman. Look Whols and building. Get your mind all right, Jane Ford Brown, what up? Steve Harvey? What's going on with you? Watch out that now boy and the fool nephew Tommy, Good morning everyone. I had to you got you gotta go way back in your throat. What's happening top of the morning, everybody, Good morning, good morning of the morning. We are. We are now post mL K day. We post that's what we are. But it was a good it was a good day. Yeah, Foo, By any chance, did any of you see Michael Bloomberg speech? No, no, no, I think you saw it, because yeah, y'all saw it. Saw it from a mayor of New York, demo president, a Democratic presidential candidate. Yeah, they were actually talking about it over here in Africa. That's what made me go wild. And some people asking me, say, Steve, who is this man who wants to help black people? How could he do this? And so I got a link and he has a plan to introduce a plan of seventy billion dollars to help African Americans, in so many words, recover from the effects and the institution of slavery. In so many words, that's the effect of it. And I gotta tell you something, I've never ever heard anybody say what he said. I've never heard so it was interesting, man. I think it's something we had to start looking at because we approached these elections. You know, we've got to get somebody see right here, this was this is a serious conversation, and Steve, try to enlighten the people, and see, introduce the fool. You didn't introduce him as fool. Yeah, but I thought I was gonna get a mute. That's what I'm thinking getting see this one days off this, I mean and his damn support team. Tom, we're trying to get Trump beat and we're trying to have and who is not talking about legitimate question? Can you get mused? You think we didn't want holding minute back for coming up with thirty two minutes after the hour. I guess we'll find out. We're going to get her mule, not to the hour right after you're listening to morning show, all right, guys. So yesterday, of course we celebrated the Doctor King Holiday. Yes, it was the weekend. And yeah, I mean you know a lot of those teams speech say you got the teams. I don't feel like saying to damn speech. I don't feel like saying say the damn speaking working on it all, damn week say speech. Ka before before we were talking Michael Michael Bloomberg's uh speech, did anyone of us hear it? And basically was said no, But you were saying, he has a seventy billion dollars platform um that he wants to introduce to help black people. Right, that's what I say that to breaking, you know, just looking up for yourself. Listen to it. A cha. You can't go back and this with them, you know what, can I just say something? Yeah, we won't. That's because you're selling that money. Not he will lock out votes in I mean, just do it right now. You have to be president. Yeah, he be president. He got I vote sentiment. I've never heard of anybody have a plan. And what I was listening about the plan because you know, he was the mayor of New York, right, so he's done a lot of things. You know, prisonment for him, he reduced crime, He reduced the number of young black men in prison. A lot of black people got out of rikers in the system like that because he was stopping a lot of those mandatory sentencing rules. And so I think he made sense. As we're getting close to this election, we as to voters, we're gonna have to vote for somebody. You know, we're gonna have to vote for somebody. Right now, the two leading contendersis who Bernie and Biden? Bernie Sanders and Bite. You think this guy is different? You think this is somebody that was step in and guys. I I mean, I know he's capable, you know, I mean he's got the money. He may not have the support because he's not as well known because he hasn't been in the race long enough long like Bernie or Warren or you know, of course Biden has name recognition. But yeah, yeah, I mean he's a billionaire, he was a former mayor. And you know, surely there is an article that I see this as Bloomberg Pitchers program to boost black economic progress. So you know, Steve, you're absolutely right. He wants to invest seventy billion dollars in low income neighborhoods throughout the country, increase the number of black homeowners, and double the number of African American owned businesses if he's elected president. Yeah, we just got to start doing something towards moving this needle forward because this election is coming up and y'all we got to really get out to vote. Look, I don't I'm not telling you who to vote for, right, I just happened to be looking at what the landscape is look at and so far, ain't nobody said nothing to us about again, Yeah, because they take our votes for granted. They assume they just take us for granted that we're going to vote democratic and for the leading contender. That's what that's all about it and it has been for years. And you're right, they really need to work for our vote. They absolutely do. It's important. So and here's someone with a plan and time all right invited ten here we go. Say that a good time. I'm just saying, on a more serious note, you know we're not gonna do the forty acres in the mute. We could at least do you know flat screens? You know our iPhones flat screens? Yeah, just something you know, we know the reason they stopped giving out female payments right the flat screen statement right there, that's why. How about a set of new tires even if you don't have a car, you see right there. I like that, Jay, I think that Speaking of flat screens, remember Black Friday and you all see that post that they had on I think it was The Graham because you know how people bum rush the stories when they have those big Black Friday sales to get TVs people. The thing the post on the Graham was what happened to the TV you got last year? Isn't that still working? Every year you gotta get you gotta get a new TV. I really want to have a good time. If you really want to have a good time, everybody can do this. Go to best Buy around Christmas time and watch people buy big ass TVs and try to put it in a little last car. I mean, you get a chip, got up and watch the fun. I mean it didn't have to be Christmas. I saw that over the WEEKI come back, come back, come back, come back, come back, come back. Go Okay, turn your you know what, we're gonna have to take it out to box. We're gonna take it out. I didn't know the dilemma people have when they go to costco. Uh huh. You could get a basket or you can get that big flat bed. Yeah, yeah, yeah, because you have to buy in bulk when you go there. Yea Costco forces you to buy stuff you really don't Damn gallons of mayonnaise packet. That's a lot of may thousand rows and gallon jump of cheerios. When the hell you go?

On top of that, the president's lawyers claimed that Trump didn't do anything wrong anyway when he asked Ukrainian President Zelenski to investigate the bidens His lawyers assert that abuse of power isn't a crime because it's too vague and doesn't rise to a high crime or misdemeanor as indicated in the Constitution. Now, Democratic Senator Corey Booker on ABC's This Week disagrees, but GOP Congressman Leezelden sees things differently. First, Booker, what are we going to do when our democracies under threat tolerate this behavior or do something to stop it and hold that person accountable? Leezelden, I'm pretty confident going into this trial, having seen all the facts in the House and just hearing from enough of the senators that the president is going to be acquitted. Zelden on the John Katsimatids radio show. He's also Trump's legal team. Yesterday's gun rights rally and Richmond, Virginia came and went, and while the governor down there declared a state of emergency and anticipation of violence, Luckily, cops say things were mostly calm.

We could be reading your letter live on the air right here, right now, just like we're gonna read this one. Okay, love it? Yeah's been hold on tight. We got it for you. Here. It is Strawberry Letter, subject, keep your nasty hands off me. Dear Stephen Shirley. I him a thirty year old woman. That's in a dirty situation with my man. I love my man and couldn't have asked for a better partner, but there's one thing about him that ticks me off. He hates to wash his hands. We've been together for six years and we just got engaged. We moved in together last month, and that's when I noticed his nastiness. He works long days at a factory and when he comes home, he changes his clothes and flops down on the bed. At first, I didn't want to say anything and nag him about it, but last week I couldn't hold it any longer. When I questioned him, he asked me why was it? Was it bothering me because they're his hands and his germs. I didn't care to argue with him, so I let it go. Over the weekend, he was in our garage, tinkering around with his car and working on his motorcycle. He came straight into my kitchen and opened the refrigerator to get a beer, and then proceeded to get the bread out of the pan to make a sandwich. There was a visible trail of oil and grime everywhere he touched. I just stood there and watched him so I could go behind him and sanitize the kitchen when he finished. Whenever he's in the bathroom, there's a flush and then the door opens right afterwards. I decided to take the same attitude with him, and I started with holding sex. I told him I didn't want his germs from his hands on me. I told him he would have to fairly wash his hands and clean under his nails daily, or he's cut off from touching me. That caused an instant argument, and he says he can't marry a woman who treats him like a child. I can't believe that he's upset, that he's that upset. I don't want to get an infection from his nasty hands on me. How should I handle this? Please help well? I think you are handling it. I mean you have asked him, You've asked him nicely. You've not nagged him about it. You know, you've told him about the germs, how you don't want to get an infection. You're not treating him like a child. I don't think you're doing that at all. You are expressing how you feel about what he's not doing, and that's simply being clean. I mean, you find out a lot about a person when you move in together. And that's one of the things maybe you didn't notice in the six years you guys have been just dating before you got engaged, So now everything's come to light. You know, it's just a matter of simply being clean and good hygiene. Okay, for me, cleanliness is just a deal breaker. It just is. Anyone who doesn't wash their hands after using the bathroom, come on, now, they're just nasty, just nasty. He's even all in the kitchen, going all in the refrigerator and touching stuff, making sandwiches and stuff. No, you gotta wash your hands. What are you doing? You know, So after you've done everything, including withholding sex, and he still won't wash. I hope his hands is only you didn't mention anything else. But I hope that's that's it. I mean, yeah, it would do more than just tick me off. I'm just telling you, I would be absolutely mad and a paul. What makes I just think? You know, what makes you think he's gonna change after marriage? He's not gonna change. So if you don't get this situation settled before marriage, you're gonna be even more frustrated once you get uh, you know, till death do you part vows involved? So you're gonna have to deal with this, I mean, and he doesn't seem to be wanting to hear anything you have to say, so I don't know. This may not mister Nasty, may not be your man after all, Steve. Surely I agree with everything you've said. So that's a wonderful letter. But we're dealing with something here that is kind of crazy. Now you've been a gather six years and you got engaged, and you move then together last month six years and you just now notice in last month he nasty? What what do you must have been living in the most unobservational six year period enter any relationship. He worked out of factory. He come home, change his clothes, flop down on the bed, right down. When you work in a factory, which I have, you smell like the factory. It's a different air in the factory, man, because it's in a confined space, and the and the oil, the machinery, the combustion, all of that combined. It's just in the air. Every factory has a certain smell to it. You know, you at work, if you blindfolded by the smell, gets in your clothes, it's in your hair now, it's all under his nails. You just now noticing it. Then you questioned him about it, and he asked you why I was bothered him because they're his hands and his head germs. Well, your hands and your JEMs touched me. So you've done what you should have done. You've retracted from having sex. Now he's mad at you. And now he said he don't know if he can get married to a woman that treats him like a child. He had opened up the pantry with the refrigerator. I mean the bread made a sandwich. You got a visible trailer all in grime everywhere he touched. He making sandwiches, reaching down in the bread. And ain't what you often the refrigerator. How many times have you got slept upsideject? You don't come in this house and open this frigerator with washing your hands. Too many ass whippers for that right hand on stage here. Yeah, we'll get part two of Steve's response coming up at twenty three minutes after the our subject keep your nasty hands off me. We'll get back into it right after this. You're listening show, all right, Steve, Come on, let's recap today's strawberry letters, subject keep your nasty hands off me. It's an interesting letter. The woman's been dating this man. She's thirty years old, day this man for six years. They finally got engaged. She moved in and she noticed last month his nastiness. He works in the factory, comes home changing his clothes, flops down on the bed. She mentioned to him that that was bothering her. He didn't understand it. He said, why are you tripping? These is my hands and my jams. She wanted to wash his hand. She want to argue with you man. So then he's outside working on the car and a motorcycle came in the house refrigerator and left a trail of grime. He made a sandwich without washing his head. You can see grime everywhere. Goes in the bathroom, she hears a flush. The next thing, you know, here in the hallway talking. I'm out. I'm just do no wah. So she decided to take the same attitude with him, and the ladies started with holding sex. Told him I didn't want his germs from his hands on me unless he thoroughly washed his hand to clean under his nails daily, or he's cut off from touching me. Instant argument. This fool, mister Nasty says, I can't married a woman to treat me like a child. Well she came man, man that act like a child. So what is your two kids getting mad? Right? It's time to break up. But I think I have a few solutions. There are some things that you might have to try, lady. Obviously, withholding sets, he's not equating that to clinic because now he tripped. I think you gotta do little things to attract his attention. All of this has to do with the kitchen and things you can do to get him to understand the necessity for clinic. Here's a couple of suggestions you might want to try the next time. Y'all sit down and eat the meal. Take your shoes off, put them on top of the table. Don't say nothing. Just keep eating. Don't say anything. Here's another suggestion. You come out the bathroom and while y'all in the living room, while y'all in the kitchen, if you eat, just bring some tarlet tissue in there. Set it in the middle of the table. Don't open your damn mouth. Get you a sugar bowl, go outside, put some dirt in it. Put that on the table. And when you make his food, open it and just sprinkle a little dirt around the edge of his plate. Don't say damning, sprinkling around the plate, keeping it all over on his side of the table. If it just it'll make him feel more at home. Don't say nothing. Don't say nothing. From now, when it's time to make his sandwich. I want you to start reusing as much bread as you can. Yeah, you know, just reach out in there, get the end out the trash and it put a little peanut but on it, make a little Dirk Princes and just make a plate with just broken pieces of bread. Reuse bread. Matter of fact, before you make his sandwich with the bread, wipe off the counter with a slice of bread. Make his damn sandwich. Wow you oh you got to do serious to take his draws, prepare his draws. Yeah, just the house with it, wax the furniture, and then hand them to him to tell him have a nice to stay at work with them on. That's how you draw. Yeah, you have to do things to people who are nasty and don't even mention it. Baby, what did you? What did you? Washing the flu and then handing meet the straws. Just weary. I'm don't wear about it. Just John, You're gonna have to do things like that. Fellas. You have any suggestions, Yes, I have something. I have a couple right here. Yeah, but what do you have to lead his underwear, his underwear that he took off the night before, Wrap his sandwich with it, and then wrap that inlluminum fall when he go to work to eat his sandwich. Yeah, yeah, yeah, do that fall. His sandwiches is wrapped in his draw His sandwich is wrapped in his drobes. Yeah, Michael, if he like I got most men like you know, we like bananas, peel the banana, peel it down. Put the banana in his socks. Put that in his fock and know that his banana. Yeah, I gotta. She brought up socks. Jay, have a number. Wash his factory socks in a pot on the stove. I was, but serve it also as socks soup. Yes, but you gotta add to that. Put put some chicken in there. So if he didn't decide to eat around the socks socks soup, chicken chicken chicken, right, socks soup, they gonna need something to drink out. Yeah, they're gonna need something to drink that bad froom. Get that picture, fill it up, same colored lemonade. Yeah, that's another fun all right, we gotta go too much.

We're shooting a family feud for the country of Ghana, and I've just been noticing the more time I spend over here, the greater dis similarities that I find. We have got to bridge the gap between Africans and African Americans. We have to. I am finding ways to get it done. I really I love the year year of the Return that they did in Ghana. I love a lot of things that are doing. We're doing some stuff with the tourism board over here. But man, we've got to bridge I can't even tell tell you how how we are the same. It's it's it's it's pleasantly shocking how much we are the same, how much we belong connected, how this is the land of our ancestors. It really, it's no mistaking it. So, I mean, it's how everybody knows that anyway, right. But I think when you come here, I think the shock of it all is what gets me. And I'm still constantly shocked because it's like when I'm looking at the audiences sometimes it looks just like when I was on tour with the Kings of Comedy and the crowd was ninety six percent black, And these audiences look like Detroit, Chicago, DC, Philly and Atlanta, Dallas, New York, Miami, Charlotte, Saint Louis. They look like it, Man, Shreveport, they look like it. At the way, the way we dance, the way we move. I've watched so many African videos over here, music videos, what they've done to stay in touch with us, and how we are so linked through vibration and beats and rhythm and style. I've watched so many gospel shows over here, you know, and they'll be singing gospel songs in another language, and you won't understand exactly what they saying, but you know what they're saying, and you hear them, and their singers sound exactly like us. They're not imitating us. They're doing them They're not imitating American gospel artists. They're doing themselves. It's just that they and us are the same. And that is going to be one of the focal points of me spending more and more time over here. It's to bring us here in large groups, in large numbers, so we can experience our ancestral roots. I think it's so important. Man. I'm not just saying this because I'm doing it now. It's something I've always wanted to do, but I want everybody to experience this. My hope is that African Americans make coming to Africa a mission, just like Muslims do going to the Mecca, or just like going to the Holy or just like whatever any other cultural thing is for people. People go home. Italians go to Italy. They still have great grandfather's that's from there. And they go back to Italy, they go to Poland, they go to France, they go everywhere. They go to their home. They go to Scotland and Ireland. It's all good Saint Patty's Day. They all get together and it's a beautiful thing. Black people should have that outside of just the family reunion, we should have somewhere we can go to experience it, and Africa is it. I don't care if you're Jamaican. I don't care if you're a Caribbean. I don't care if you're Bohamian. I don't care you came from there. I think it's important. I think it's so important, man, and I'm gonna do everything in my power to try to make it available, to make it as affordable as I can for as many people to come and experience this and the the beautiful thing of it all, and the most I think the biggest takeaway for me was the feeling that I have of waking up every day and going to work and driving and stopping and going in stores or going to eat and experiencing my life not as a minority, but for the first time every day I wake up, everywhere I go, I experienced for the first time being in the majority, and on my goodness, it is an overwhelming feeling. And after a while, man, you really take note of it and you go, Wow, this is the way I really enjoy feeling. Because we all have always been the We've all been the only one on the elevator, in the department, on the job, on the bus, We've been the only one at the outing, the only one. We've all experienced that. And you know for a fact that it causes you to be a certain kind of way that's gone when you come here. I want everybody to experience. That's my clothes remarks today.
