Y'all know what time to y'all don't know y'all back a suit, looking back to back down, giving them like a million bucks things, and its cubbing me true good it Steve listening to the movie to other steam Please don't join join me. You're doing me. You gotta turning to you, gotta turn to turn them out, turning, got to turn out. Then turn the water the water. Come come on your baby it uh huh I show will good Mart and everybody you're listening to the voice, come on dig me now one it all. It's Steve Harvey got a radio show. Well all right, I've learned something and it sharing time. And I am ever appreciated. I do appreciate God for all that he allows me to learn in my life. One of the best lessons I've learned is that hardship teaches you some great lessons. Challenges brings about some of my best results. I think what I'm trying to say is in every challenge and hardship, every setback, I've learned something so so valuable. So here's what I've You know, I've known this, but I've just learned it at a different angle. Appreciation and gratitude is the key to having more. Now, I don't know how that sound to you, but I can't tell you how true it is. God being fair and just as he really is. He really is. He's a fair and a just God. What's most beneficial to us is he happens to be full of mercy and grace. And I'm telling you something, man, I've probably benefited from his grace and mercy more than anything else. I mean, really, man, if it wasn't for him just forgiving me and then for him just touch in my life the way he has. I mean, I'm not hearing this position today. I'm just not. But a funny thing has happened along the way, even to you. If you look at it, is it your genuine appreciation and gratitude has been the key to you having more for your continued blessings and for making room for having to open up and pour out blessings that you don't have room enough to receive. If you look at it, see God being a fair and just God, which he is, why would he put more on you than you can bad? If you've noticed everything that's happened in your life, if you're still here, you've made it, you know, forget how rough it was, got that, but you made it. Forget what it sent you through when it hide made you feel you made it. Now, what makes people give up and you hear about people committing suicide, is they leave the God out of their life and they start allowing that other voice to control. And if it's really true that God never puts more on you than you can bear, as long as you stay connected to God, you can get through anything. But you lose that connection, you lose that communication, you lose that relationship with him. If you're not having a relationship with God, then who you're having a relationship with now? And it ain't but two forces at work at all time. It's good and evil, it's positive and negative. It's God's satan. Now, this is at work all the time. So if you're not being positive about everything, you leave room for negativity to stay up in. If you're not trying to be righteous in your way, then you allow evil to step in. If you don't work on your relationship with God, come on, now, look who you're letting step in. So now I'm asking you to understand that God never puts more on you than you can bear. Okay, now that we got that clear, that's a fact. Okay. Now with that fact in mind, let's go over this right here. Why would God, being as just and merciful as he is, put more on you than you can bear? Example, if God has given you blessings and all you're doing is complaining about him, you're never showing any appreciation of gratitude about it. Why would he give you some more stuff to be ungrateful for? Why would he give you some more stuff to complain about? Why would he give you some more stuff that you would not show any more appreciation for? I mean, this thing is real simple, man, ain't it if you think about it? So? A lot of times, man, when I was going through my positions of not having it and wondering at all like here, I ended up checking myself and going, man, I'm not even showing any gratitude or appreciation for the things He has done for me. Start showing some appreciation and gratitude, because it's the key to having more. It's the key to continued blessings. It's the key to the wonders of heaven opening up and pouring out a blessing that you won't have room enough to receive. It's the appreciation and gratitude of what you already have, as minimal as it may appear to be right now for you, it is still what you have. But if you've shown no gratual, no gratitude for the minimal, why would he give you the maximum. I mean, I'm just really just trying to put it real, real, simple, so I can keep understanding this thing right here. So let me give you an example. In my life, I had gotten so busy at one point that I had begun to complain about how busy I was. This is true because I am busy, but it ain't the busy part because I asked to be busy, you know, I asked God to give me opportunities and to make a way for me. Well, in that you got to do something, and you got to get busy. But I began to complain about the business and how busy I was, and I noticed that a couple of things slowed up for me. So I had got to the point where I wasn't showing real gratitude for it. Well, I looked up and a couple of things started slowing down, and then I had to catch myself and I went Wow, man, you have got to start embracing the fact that you are this busy, embrace the act what all comes along with it. Because to whom much is given, much is required. You got to start embracing the requirement part if you want to continue with the giving part. So I changed my attitude. I caught myself and I started thinking him and showing real gratitude for how busy I was, instead of complaining about how busy I was. And then guess what. It opened up the windows of heaven and some more blessings got poured out. It just works that way all the time, for everybody, for me, for you, for everybody. So listen, y'all again. Your appreciation and gratitude is the key to having more. Your appreciation and gratitude is the key to continued blessings. And your appreciation and gratitude it's the only way that you can get those windows of heaven to open up and pour out to these blessings that you won't have room enough to receive. You got to act like you're glad for what you got in order to get more. You feel me, let's go sw This is it. This is the Steve Harvid Morning Show. Yes, this is the best voice talking is me.

Right after this, you're listening to the Steve Harvey Morning Show. Jeffrey Epstein, the financier accused of sex trafficking, was not under suicide watch at the Manhattan jail at the time of his death. Mister Epscene hanged himself and was found at around six thirty am sad today at the Metropolitan Correctional Center. This is according to officials. Now, officials want to know that since last month, after being denied bail on federal sex trafficking charges, why wasn't Jeffrey Epstein not being more closely monitored. Epstein's suicide death has angered his accusers, who said they had hoped to have his crimes aired in open court. Attorney General William Barr, who technically held the ultimate responsibility for Epstein's well being, promised to investigate while here's something wrong. Yeah, why why wasn't he being more closely monitored. It's almost like, you know, they wanted something like this to happen, you know. So now they can't put a dead man on trial, you know, right, but so many many people with big names are involved in this whole situation. Yeah, m yeah, I'm thinking about yeah, yeah, yeah, some of the associates. Yeah, very high up the food chain too. Yeah, yeah, this has been associated. Yeah, and they still don't know how he made his fortune, right, I mean their speculation, but they still don't know exactly how he made how he made his money. Yeah, So now all those people that were connected, is this just goes away? Now? Well, I mean they're they're gonna have to put something together. He didn't do it by himself, so I guess they have to keep digging, keep investigating, you know, some of the victims. Yeah, the victims are going to come for it, right junior. Yeah, so we'll we'll see what happens. I mean that what that exposed some of these names that we're talking about Uh, yeah, yeah, we can. Only they've been exposed before, you know, when the story when he first got arrested. So the name, some of those names are already out there, like the president's name has been a yeah, yeah, the secretary, but the labor resigned because of his leniency and his original case Florida. Yeah yeah, yeah, this story, this is yeah, just only the beginning. UM and other entertainment news. Cuba Gooding Junior is going on trial and misdemeanor charges of forcible touching and third degree sexual assault. Cuba claims that the woman has various mental issues and that no crime was committed. The judge disagreed, and Cuba Gooding's trial starts on September third. As we told you before, Cuba was in a bar when a woman claimed that he put his hand on her breast and squeezed. He's denying it. Cuba's denying this, So his trial starts on September third. Um, I guess the judge apparently felt there was enough evidence to bring this to trial. Yeah. I saw some of some type of footage, but I didn't see that happening in the footage. Now, I think I saw his hand on her thigh at one point, you know, in one of the tapes. But again he's denying it, and we'll see. We'll be watching that case as well. Finally, weekend box office report Hobbs and Shaw. Hobbs and Shaw number one movie again twenty five point four million dollars, followed by Scary Stories to Tell in the Dark.

Six people wounded in Chicago over the weekend when one person started shooting at a party. Let's get the latest done. Today's headlines Tommy all right, um, the one and Only Miss Anne Trip with National News. Tommy, Good morning, everybody. This is Andrews a new The FBI and the Justice Department's Inspector General now investigating the registered sex offender Jeffrey Epstein's apparent suicide and a federal lock up in Manhattan on Saturday. Questions of being asked about how Epstein died while in custody. He was found hanging one day after documents unsealed in federal court revealed that accusations were that he also trafficked mind miners to be sexually abused by other rich men, not just for himself. According to NBC, Epstein tried to commit suicide a few weeks ago. He underwent psychiatric evaluation. After that, he was taken off suicide watch and returned to his cell without a cell mate. The New York Times reports that Epstein was alone at the time, not checked on every thirty minutes by a guard. Medical examiner has completed the autopsy but says the cause of death is pending further information. Meanwhile, New York City's mayor and Democratic presidential hopeful Bill Deblasio says Epstein's death does not end his case, by the way, nor does it end the investigations into any other people who may have been involved in that sex trafficking case. A lot of us want to know is what did he know? How many other millionaires and billionaires were part of the illegal activities that he was engaged in. Well, that information didn't all die with Jeffrey Epstein, and prosecuts have vowed to investigate and say that the trafficking case against Epstein will move forward despite his death. Bill Cosby's lawyer's schedule to be in a Harrisburg, Pennsylvania courtroom today hoping to get him a new trial. The attorneys say Cosby was denied a fair trial. One example, they say, is a juror number eleven was quoted as telling other members of the jury, we can just go home. He's guilty. They say that that juror should have been removed but was not. You were sent up. Minarity leader A Chuck Schumer says that's because so many massed shooters where body armor. He plans to introduce legislation requiring civilians to obtain FBI permission before they get that equipment. Sad news, an early morning blaze at an Erie, Pennsylvania daycare center yesterday morning killed five children, four siblings, and the homeowner's child.

However, I did you actually have you actually have a sweet? I do have a sweet into double Sweet, So there is room for another technique.

We got it boy, you hear it is the Strawberry Letter, all right. Subject My parents are freaks. Okay, Dear Stephen Shirley. I am mad twenty seven year old college graduate, and I recently moved back in with my mother to say some money and get my own place. My parents were high school sweethearts, but they never got married. For over thirty years, they've been hooking up whenever they were single. They go on dates, vacations, and they had ten family gatherings, but they refused to get married. I've asked my dad why he won't marry my mom, and he said, son, a house is much better than an apartment, whatever that means. My dad comes over to my mom's house all the time, and watching the two of them is like watching softcore porn. My dad grabs my mom's but when she walks by him, and I've seen him pause a football game just so he could watch my mom bending over while she was mopping the floor. My dad was in a car accident recently and had to stay in the hospital overnight. My mom and I went to visit, and while I was sitting there, my dad whispered to my mom and then he lifted his gown to show my mom that he was ready, and they put me out of the room. Is so embarrassing. And the final straw was when I got when I caught them in the garage doing the do in my dad's truck. I would traumatize Mama, but they thought I was traumatize but they both thought it was funny. I wish they'd stop acting like two horny teenagers. I feel like I'm in their way, but I have nowhere to go. I'm afraid to invite my girlfriend over if my dad is around, because there's no telling what they'll do. How can I get them to stop it or at least respect me if I am around them? It's disgusting. Please help. Well, I can tell you my answer won't be very long. First of all, you you, oh, no one and I mean no one wants to see their parents getting busy like this. They do not. I don't care where it is, if it's in the house and he's touching your mom's but kids don't want to see that. I mean, yeah, you would be a little you would think you'd be a little discreet and they'd be a little mindful of you, But no, they're not. They just do it wherever, whenever the spirit hits them or the mood hits them, even in the hospital, the spirit or the mood, yeah, or the mood. Anyway, The best advice I can I can give you right now, mister twenty seven year old who just graduated, is a hurry up and get your coins together so you can move out of your mom's house because it's her house. Things aren't going to change. I think you know they were respecting you when they went to the garage and did it in the car, okay, because they could have done it right there in the house like they've been doing it all this time. So yeah, just hurry up, you know, let them know that you're saving and you're you'll be getting out soon so they can have at it. But yeah, that's my best advice to you is to go ahead and get those coins together. When your dad said, son, a house is much better than an apartment, I don't exactly know what he means. Maybe he's saying he prefers to stay at his house. I don't know. I don't know, to have his own. Then when you're in an apartment, you're under someone else's rules, perhaps, right, Yeah, I mean, you know, I don't know. I'm trying to make sense of it. But anyway, maybe he just likes the fact that he owns his own home and if he comes to your mom's home, it'll be like being in an apartment because he'll have to abide by her rules or something. I don't know. But anyway, save your coin so you if you do want to watch softcore porn or whatever, it won't be your parents. It'll be in the comfort of your own home. But yeah, you gotta get out of there because they're not making any any excuses for what they're doing just because you're there. And yeah, I wouldn't advise you necessarily. Well, maybe if you brought your girlfriend over. They might stop in front of her, but you don't want to take that chance, now, do you? All right? Junior? What you got? Oh man, I'll tell him this, yo, Daddy my hero. Come on, boy, I want your daddy when I get old. All the time, he said, it was like watching the softcore point. You want some advice. When you see your daddy truck, you better get your car keys because here gone, it's about to go down. I bet your dadd in life to talk soft to your mama and unbutton his shirt. Don't even care if you're sitting down the cock. I'm about to do this right now. If you ever seeing your mama and your daddy, you need to go ahead and just got if they if they are putting you out of hospital rooms. I wish I had a six cellar christ get son in the hospital. I wish I get sick, I actually get sick, go to the hospital and get that is a dream about that gown. I've raised that gown up to use the bathroom. That's about all I've raised by gow. Okay, that's it. I still I wish your daddy is by hero. He's in the hospital, medical equipment everywhere, and he is plugged up to a heart monster. He got everything going on, blood pressure getting checked, and it's some other pressure. Let's get jack. I want to be your daddy. I want him to be my hero. That is the best thing in the world. Can you imagine that? Get some tilling? No, I can't get something. I can't imagine you can my parents? No? No, I want to be now. I've seen my parents before, and it is traumatized. My daddy said what you want, but he didn't stop doing nothing. I caught my room and cried, and my mama came in and said, what's wrong, said, y'all en up doing that nasty stuff. And this stuff is in my mind. Why do I see the bottom of your feet, Mama, I've never seen the bottom of your feet. What is going on in here? Why? Why is daddy hurting you? I'm calling police. I'm called I'm telling you it is traumatized. Yes, it is. No one wants to see this. I want to be your daddy when I want. All right, and we'll have part two of the Strawberry Letter coming up at twenty three after the hour subject my parents or freaks will hear from the nephew when we come back right after this. You're listening to the show. All right, guys, let's recap today's Strawberry Letters. Subject my parents are for freaks. Twenty seven year old college student recently moved back at home with his mom. He wants to save some money so he can get his own place. His parents were high school sweethearts. They never got married, so over the past thirty years, they've been hooking up whenever they were single, which implies they've been married. They've been in relationships before, but whenever they're single or between relationships or marriages or whatever, they hook up. They go on dates, they go on vacations, they attend family gatherings together, but they still refuse to get married. The son said. He asked his dad why won't he marry his mom, and the dad said, son, a house is much better than an apartment, whatever that means. He says. His dad comes over to his mom's house all the time, and he says watching them together is like watching soft porn. He says, my dad grabs my mom's but when she walks by him, she says she's seen him pause a football game just so he could watch his mom bend over while she was mopping the floor. Oh my goodness. He said, my dad was in a car accident. He was in the hospital. He lifted up his gown and let his mom know that he was ready. They put the son out of the hospital and he goes on and on. He caught him in the garage and the dad's truck. I mean, this is just a bit much for this son. Like I said, no one wants to see their parents doing this. He says he wishes they would stop acting like two horny teenagers. He's afraid to bring his girlfriend over because he never knows what's going to happen if his dad is there. He just thinks it's disgusting and he doesn't think that his parents respect them. I don't think it's that. I just think they think that they're grown and it's their house and they can do whatever they want to do, and whoever's there, you know, gets the benefit of that. So um, anyway, I think you know, you should save your coins and move out. Tummy. Ain't nobody gotta respect you at day house. This day house. Ain't nobody gotta respect you at their own house. Okay, So when you see me, Nick, and don't ask me what I'm doing. Why is me and your mamma in the fireplace because we're put the woman up up in here. That's what we do. Okay. Why me and your mom in the deep freezer, because that's what we do. We got it on ice ice, baby, we're putting it down. And I'm gonna be just like your daddy when you ask me, boy, ain't a steak knife. Ain't got nothing on the butter knife. You get me, boy? Yeah, I'm gonna tell you something real stupid, Like he said, a house is much better than a pigeon. Can't touch a chicken. You don't want to pinch, don't mean no, damn I will by ain't track, can't touch your album? You know what I'm saying. You got to say stupid stuff. They are trying to sex you out of their house.

Email us or instagram us your thoughts on Today's Strawberry Letter at Steve Harvey FM and check out the Strawberry Letter podcast on demand now coming up at forty six after the hour, we're gonna talk about the heartbreaking ice raids in Mississippi, Oh boy, and why ice raids haven't targeted President Trump companies. Right after this, you're listening to this Stave Harvey Morning Show. Well, in a video that drew online attention, and has gone viral. We all saw that eleven year old little girl who made a tearful plea to ICE. Of course, that's the Immigration and Customs enforcement after the ICE raids in Mississippi. ICE detained some six hundred and eighty undocumented immigrants last week and said the operation was about enforcing US immigration laws that may get illegal for immigrants to work in the US without authorization. However, take a listen when Jake Tapper of CNN asked the commissioner why President Trump's companies haven't been targeted by the ICE raids, take a listen. I don't understand why it is that the President's companies there's headline after headline after headline about them employing undocumented immigrants, and there's never been a raid. There's never been any sort of law enforcement investigation that we can discern. Well, so you really can't say that for sure, because their investigations going on all the time that you're unaware of, and we shouldn't be aware of those investigations. So those investigations should be done without notifying everyone, because of course it's going to jumpardize an investigation if I come on here and I talk to you about investigation that's going on. Yeah, he didn't answer the question. While appearing to answer the question, that's yeah, wow, he can't talk about it because there's an ongoing investigation into that. Together. We shouldn't know about American people should know, Yeah, we should we know about all the other ones. Yeah, we shouldn't know. And then what about this though? This? You know, the ICE raids the illegal immigrants, and they're saying they're doing this to clean up that these illegal immigrants can work without authorization. Well, what about the people that's hiring them? What has to them? The CEO? Yeah, you hiring them? Do do they get arrested to They probably get rewarded in this system we're currently in, they probably get rewarded some kind of way. But absolutely, yeah, it's just the immigrants. They get arrested. And that poor little girl. Ye did y'all see that? Yeah? Yeah, yeah, and she plead that her dad, you know, he's not a criminal. You know, they're just over here trying to illegal man. Yeah, I mean, I agree, something should be done, of course, but not this now. I don't know what the answer is, but just not this way. This is too horrible. When the kids are involved, like this, Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, all right. You can go to Steve Harvey FM dot com to post your comments about this situation. You know, let us know how you feel. Coming up at the top of the hour, today's office topic, we'll tell you where are the most overworked cities in the country.

Jeffrey Epstein, the financier accused of sex trafficking, was not under suicide watch at the Manhattan Jail at the time of his death. Mister Epstein hanged himself and was found at around six thirty am Saturday at the Metropolitan Correctional Center. This is according to officials. Now officials want to know that since last month, after being denied bail on federal sex trafficking charges, why wasn't Jeffrey Epstein not being more closely monitored? Epstein's suicide death has angered his accusers, who said they had hoped to have his crimes aired in open court. Attorney General William Barr, who technically held the ultimate responsibility for Epstein's well being, promised to investigate, here's something wrong. Yeah, yeah, why why wasn't he being more closely monitored? It's almost like, you know, they wanted something like this to happen, you know, so now they can't put a dead man on trial. You know, so many people with big names are involved in in this whole situation.

Wow, all right, coming up our last break of the day, Our last break of the day, and a treat for you. We're gonna leave you with some closing remarks from the one and only Steve Harvey coming up at forty nine after the hour of right after this you're listening to. All Right, Steve, we are back. It is time to close out of the show, our last break of the day. You have some closing remarks for us. I want to talk about something Tommy sent me the other day, and it caused me to think about how some people get stuck in their life. And I want to say to everybody, you don't have to stay stuck. You don't have to allow a situation to be so daunting that you can't see moving beyond, because you have to. You have to move beyond things in life. I was having a conversation with somebody and I was telling them that it's imperative that you understand the things that you cannot change. Uh, there's a scripture that tells that so eloquently. Of course I don't know it. I can't tell you where it is, as often is the case with me, but I do have it in my heart and I do understand it. But there there's a scripture that talks about moving on and being in a position of accepting the things you cannot change. And you know if if if prayer doesn't change a thing or will not change a thing, even though we all know prayer changes things. It's some things that you don't even have to pray for because God told us he wouldn't change it. For example, time and tide weights on. No man, well that he told you that, So ain't no need of a group of y'all getting together holding hands. Told my Lord stopped the clock at eleven o'clock so we can finish this task in your name heavily, Father, Now stop, he said, Time and tide waits on, no mad So the things that pray ain't gonna change because he told us some things won't won't change like that, you got to accept and move on, and accepting the things that happen in your life are a big part of it. You get stuck when you lose the ability to move on, and staying stuck don't help you at all. And I'll give you an example. What he sent me was this. He said, This plaque says stop looking for happiness in the same place that you lost it. It has moved on. You know, happiness moves on. Every relationship don't stay a healthy relationship. Every situation you win that was happy at one time, it can turn sad. You gonna keep looking for happiness in the same place that you lost it. You have got to move on and stop feeling. Say for yourself, You're not the first person somebody that left You ain't the first person that the lost somebody you love. You're not the first person who someone has disappointed. You're not the first person being cheated on. You're not the first person who has lost faith in another person. You ain't the first person been lied to. You're not You're not the only one I got that things in life are hurt for We've all been hurt before. I think I don't know a person that ain't been hurt. I don't think I know a person ain't been disappointed. I don't know anybody that ain't suffered a setback. I don't know anyone who hasn't found something difficult to get over, including myself. But I tell you right now, like the plaques say, you can stop looking for happiness in the same place you lost it. Sometimes it's gone. He ain't the one for you, but you want him back. He wasn't good for you. When you had him, but I want him back. Why would you want back something that wasn't good for you in the first place? Man, Can we move on? Give God a chance to put something real in your life by stop wanting something that wasn't good in your life. Stop? Man, some people don't even know how to accept a blessing. We block more blessings, wanting something that ain't good or write for us, stopping something that would be good for us. Stop when we're gonna get that through our head. You know how many times I've had to learn this lesson. Stop Stop wanting something that ain't good for you. Stop wanting something back that wasn't right for you. Stop, move on. Give something new a chance in your life. When one door closes in your life, could that possibly mean God got something better for you? Couldn't it possibly be that? Do you think just because the door closes, that that means it's finally over and ain't no more nothing gonna happen for you Because a door shut don't mean your life is done. You didn't die, You suffered a disappointment, you got fied, you got laid off. She texts you and told you she won't you no more. He didn't show up no more. He quick calling. You thought it was good. It wasn't. Stop looking for happiness in the same place you lost it. It's probably time to move on. Those are my clothing remarks, sir, your so, your sir? All good? All right, Steve bush Man, not mad. Sometimes sometimes be talking to myself. Why why you want that back? It's all right, the priest to yourself, and quit asking God for stuff that he not fit to do.
