2:09

one and only. Steve Harvey got a radio show,

2:12

this one today. I

2:14

want to share with you. Uh.

2:17

It's for all of us. It's

2:20

for all of us. Uh,

2:22

And here it is. There

2:26

is a solution to

2:29

all of your problems in situations.

2:35

There is a solution to all

2:37

of your problems and

2:39

situations. If

2:42

you are feeling this, are

2:45

you feeling desperate about something and

2:48

anxious about it? Are you feeling

2:51

uncertain about anything? Are

2:54

you at a loss for words? Are

2:57

you is your direct

3:00

shouldn't unclear? How

3:02

about that? If you can't

3:04

find your purpose, that's

3:07

a good one. That stops a lot of people.

3:10

If you don't know what your next move

3:12

is, that's to go. I don't. I don't

3:14

care what it is. If if if

3:16

the relationship you're in it's

3:19

all wrong and you don't know how to

3:21

get out of it, it doesn't

3:23

matter. There's a solution

3:27

to all your problems and situations.

3:31

And that solution without trying

3:33

to sound like I've

3:35

been knowing this my whole life, because

3:37

I haven't. That

3:40

solution to all your problems. That way

3:43

to make all your dreams come true. The

3:46

way around a lot of this and to

3:49

the weakness that you feel

3:51

at times, it's prayer, prayer,

3:55

a connection with your creator. Could

3:59

that be a thing that's missing in your life.

4:02

I'm just asking because

4:05

whenever I get a little bit

4:07

off track, all I gotta

4:10

do is think, just a moment, Steve,

4:13

have you been Have you been praying? Man?

4:15

Have you been connecting with your creative?

4:18

I know you're busy, man, I know

4:20

you're busy, and I know at the end of the

4:22

day you're done. You're

4:24

done, and sometimes crawling into

4:27

bed is all you can manage to do. I've

4:29

said this. It happened to me

4:32

last night. Again, I

4:34

did all of this. But when I look

4:37

and when I see things not moving,

4:40

or I don't feel like things

4:42

are going in the right direction, or I have a sense

4:44

of being stagnant, all I got

4:46

to do is retrace it. Because

4:49

I'm working. There's no doubt about

4:51

that. I'm working. But

4:54

I'm a staying connected. Am

4:56

I using that weapon that's available

4:58

to all of us my prey? And

5:01

the answer is usually no? And

5:03

so I know, okay, okay, man, I'm I'm getting

5:05

off track hill because see, let me tell

5:07

you something. Man. The reason the

5:10

reason I constantly talk to

5:12

God is because life

5:15

constantly changes. People who

5:17

said they was going to do something for you one day

5:19

have changed their mind the next. Somebody

5:23

you thought was gonna show up that day

5:25

called in late, had an accident

5:28

and couldn't make it. That changes the parameters

5:30

of everything. The meeting

5:33

you had set up that had to be canceled

5:35

because somebody was ill. That

5:37

changes the parameters the time

5:40

frame of everything. Because it's

5:42

all connected. So if

5:44

I don't stay in constant prayer and

5:46

stay connected to the creative when

5:48

these thing's happen, I'm

5:51

not put in my bid. I've not talked

5:53

to him about how to handle it. Oh,

5:55

I'm just not aware of it and what to do next.

5:58

And the next thing you know, it becomes a little stagnant.

6:01

That has happened to me. I gotta get back

6:05

because prayer is the solution

6:07

to all of my problems and situations.

6:11

I have found that to be the case now.

6:13

The only reason I'm telling it to you is

6:15

because I know if you anything like

6:17

me slash human being,

6:20

then there are times that you feel anxious.

6:23

There's moments of desperation. You

6:26

have moments of uncertainty. There

6:28

are times when you feel like you've lost

6:31

your way, or your direction

6:33

is unclear, or

6:36

you or your purpose is a little blurred.

6:39

You're not shooing anymore, or

6:41

you don't know what your next movie is, or the relationship

6:44

you in or the relationships you're dabbling

6:46

in. They're just all wrong for

6:48

you. Man. There

6:52

is a solution to all your problems

6:54

and situations, and it's prayer. If

6:58

you're suffering from any of the things I

7:00

just listed, or any other thing you could think of,

7:03

just check your prayer. What has your

7:05

prayer been lately about it? And

7:08

this is for everybody. I

7:11

often find when I get that disconnection.

7:14

Man, my my prayer and

7:16

slipped off. I started feeling

7:18

a little bit less, so I gotta

7:20

jump back on it. I'm just offering you a solution

7:23

to it, man, and and and and and

7:25

and I'm giving you a solution that works one

7:27

of the thousand percent for show.

7:31

See, I ain't guessing at this one. I'm telling

7:33

you what has happened in my life,

7:36

how I did it, and it'll do for

7:38

you. God has filled with mercy

7:40

and grace. He knows we all

7:43

messed up. He knows all of us

7:45

have done some jacked up things that don't

7:47

nobody know about. He know all

7:49

about our past. Man, he know all

7:52

of that. But he is

7:54

so full of grace and mercy, so

7:56

full of fifty fifth chances.

7:59

But you know the thing about your life though, and

8:02

the thing I had to come to terms with, and

8:04

the reason I don't let my my out of the reason

8:06

I don't let my past bury me. The

8:08

reason I don't let my past define me

8:12

is because my past I

8:14

found out, or just

8:17

the ingredients needed

8:22

for me to make this cake I'm eating

8:24

now. My

8:26

past is just my ingredients. See

8:29

you you don't get rid of your past. They

8:33

theyin't go on know where they are the ingredients,

8:36

but when you put them with something else, they

8:38

look better, they taste better, It

8:40

is better. All

8:43

of our past are just the ingredients

8:45

that have become the cake we eating now. Now,

8:48

if you don't like the way your cake taste, then

8:50

you gotta stop putting some other ingredients

8:52

in there. Just because you started

8:55

off and your cake was messed up, don't

8:57

mean you can't straighten out the flavor of your

8:59

cake. You gotta put some different ingredients

9:01

in there. So

9:04

let's say your cake is trifling tasted,

9:06

it's better. Your cake is better.

9:09

Well, you got to dilute the bitterness. You

9:11

gotta put some more goodness in there. So

9:13

you gotta put some goodness ingredients to

9:16

to take away the taste of the

9:18

bitterness. So

9:21

you gotta put some different ingredients in there. You gotta

9:23

start living your life a little more kindly,

9:25

a little more thoughtful, a little more sharing,

9:28

a little more caring. And then after

9:30

a while, man those new ingredients

9:32

combined with that bitter it starts

9:35

overshadowing the bitter taste, because the

9:37

bitter taste is further behind you now

9:40

see something that happened to you twelve

9:42

fifteen, thirty sixteen

9:45

years ago. Ain't got to be the flavor

9:47

that's in your mouth now unless you let it be. It's

9:52

the ingredients, man, If

9:54

you're sicking away your cake tasting, change

9:56

your ingredients. Put

9:59

something else in your cake mix so

10:01

you can get a better taste if

10:05

you don't like the way your life taste. Pray

10:09

Prayer changes things. I'm telling

10:11

you, I've been here my mama

10:13

saying for years, boy, prayer changes

10:15

things. Do you hear me?

10:18

Prayer changes things? Don't

10:21

my mama? You said to me all the time. I said

10:24

to my TV artist, is when they come see me on the

10:26

talk show, before I walk on stage,

10:28

I tell them these words my mother said.

10:30

I said, my mother used to always tell me

10:32

this, and it's bailed me out, and it might do the

10:34

same thing for you. I

10:37

said, whatever I get in trouble, I hear her words. She

10:40

says, son, don't forget to pray, don't

10:44

be ashamed to pray, and don't

10:46

be too proud to pray, because

10:48

prayer, prayer changes

10:50

things. And you better believe something.

10:54

It one hundred percent showed

10:56

do show

11:02

he boke it man heading

11:06

there's a train coming.

11:10

You don't need no ticker,

11:14

You're just gett old boy,

11:19

all you need is faith

11:22

when you hear the des o harming

11:26

Now, uh,

11:32

you remember the late great Curtis Mayfield.

11:35

Of course I do. Yes, people

11:38

don't talk about him that much anymore, but he was greatness.

11:41

Why y'all doing this morning? Good?

11:45

Good? Speaking of greatness? How

11:51

well you know? I'm good? You

11:53

know, excited this morning, energize,

11:57

you know, ready to get at it another day. None

12:00

of us won the lottery. Huh no,

12:04

you you hear me, don't you? A

12:07

loud and clear Okay.

12:10

So the winning numbers, the Mega million

12:12

winning numbers was five sixty

12:15

two, sixty, seventy

12:19

and five. They say the

12:21

winner is in South Carolina. Then

12:23

they said there's a winner who got five

12:25

of the numbers right in San Francisco.

12:28

So we'll see. I

12:31

think of them. One

12:34

of the numbers got

12:36

a couple of numbers on different tickets. I

12:38

didn't play. I

12:42

did because if I lose, I'm gonna

12:44

be so mad. Surely

12:46

you lost. I didn't play,

12:48

but I didn't play, so I'm cool. I

12:51

just set my money man

12:56

three thousand dollars worth for tickets. My

12:58

wife would ya wanted at three

13:00

thousand? I got three thousand from one point six.

13:05

I've cut that deal all day long. I

13:08

think I got three numbers. I think I got ten dollars.

13:11

That's all you get for ten for ten, three

13:14

for three numbers dollars. I'm

13:18

not even driving my car back down back

13:28

with so much attitude here Marjorie

13:31

13:33

she won for eighty. That was good. So

13:37

13:41

that even? Is that to walk away from everything?

14:03

To ask?

So if you if you spend two

14:12

thousand dollars worth of tickets, if

14:15

you win, you just win the one

14:17

point six billion, I

14:19

I don't care what she's accused of doing. You have

21:06

a president that said he grabbing

21:08

women by the pet I don't care if she said the Confederate

21:11

flag on fire and went in night while

21:13

she was in college, skipped that. This woman

21:15

is qualified. And we got to get to the

21:17

polls in Georgia and get

21:20

Stacy Abrams voted in. And

21:22

we got to get to these polls down in Florida,

21:24

21:27

I'm telling you you got to get to these polls

talk about it right after this. You're

21:36

listening Steve Show.

21:39

All right, guys, last night was the debate in

21:42

Georgia between the gubernatorial

21:44

candidates. The headlines before the debate

21:46

was about Democratic candidate Stacy Abrams,

21:49

who has defended her action of burning the

21:51

old Georgia State Confederate

21:54

flag back in and she

21:56

was a college student at Spellman. We

21:58

all know the Georgia State Confederate flag was

22:00

a symbol of white supremacy. Ms.

22:02

Abrams tweeted that she was proud to

22:05

be on the right side of history and who

22:07

have fought against hate her entire

22:10

life. Right, I'm

22:13

I'm your Look, they

22:16

got a lot of nerve to

22:19

talk about this Confederate flag when

22:21

the symbol of that Confederate flag.

22:24

And y'all can't flip the script on us for this

22:26

like you did that Colin kapernick uh,

22:29

Calin Kaepernick or kneeling

22:32

you turned that into the flag issue. That

22:34

flag, for so many people represents

22:38

hatred, slavery, Civil

22:41

Civil War. If you don't

22:43

think that they were fighting to keep

22:45

slavery alive, you're deadly

22:47

wrong. And that flag represented

22:49

a lot of pain for black

22:52

folks. A lot of clansmen

22:54

carries that flag. If you look at

22:56

every clan rally they got today, they

22:59

got that flagg with him. I

23:02

I do not care that

23:05

she did that. That doesn't

23:07

bother me, not one bit. You

23:10

have the audacity to call yourself

23:12

the moral party, and then you turn

23:14

around and you vote for a man who

23:17

has done more immoral things known

23:20

publicly of any

23:23

president ever, and he in

23:25

the White House. Come and

23:27

let me tell you something. The the paying

23:30

off the pawn stars, they're

23:32

taking the playboyd buddies to your house where

23:34

your wife lives, all of that.

23:37

I mean, look, he didn't grabbing

23:40

women by the pet, laughing about it, telling

23:42

jokes, making jokes about disabled

23:45

people, calling Native Americans pokehonness,

23:48

there goes my African American. I

23:50

mean, he just repeatedly does everything

23:53

and so if that's okay with you, then

23:57

this is okay with us, And

24:00

it is okay, Steve, with a lot of

24:02

people what Donald Trump has done. He's got a lot

24:04

of support out there. A lot of people think he's

24:06

doing a fine job. He's

24:10

done some things that he's getting credit for

24:12

because it's on his watch, and it's

24:15

okay. Manufacturing jobs are unemployment?

24:18

Is that all term? You know? The

24:20

economy is booming? Uh,

24:23

the tax code that he passed,

24:25

he's done some things. They should talk

24:27

about that. But what

24:30

he's done for the country

24:33

in terms of unifying the people

24:35

that he was elected to govern has

24:38

been horrible, has

24:41

been horrible. He's not governing

24:43

all people, doing his

24:45

base. He's doing. Yeah,

24:48

yeah, he's governing his base. But

24:50

the sad thing about it is his

24:53

base doesn't know. This has

24:55

no effect on their life. They

24:58

don't even know it. It's so say it so.

25:01

So see, we have the Stacy Abrams

25:03

issue going on in Georgia. Meanwhile,

25:05

in Florida, now this is according

25:08

to the Huffington's Post, voters in Florida

25:10

received a racist robocall from

25:12

a white supremacist group in Idaho

25:15

and speaking in an exaggerated, like menstrual

25:18

type dialect, trying to discourage

25:20

voters from voting for Democratic

25:22

Florida gubernatorial candidate Andrew Gilliam.

25:25

Take a listen to this. Take a listen. Well,

25:28

hello, the abbe

25:33

acute Florida.

25:38

Okay, okay,

25:40

yes, that's all we play. And

25:43

you know, because that's enough.

25:46

Here's what we have to understand that

25:49

that is a racist component

25:51

going on every time a

25:53

black person runs, yes for an

25:55

office, and he'll be the first black

25:58

governor of Florida. And so now all

26:00

the way in Iowa, Idaho.

26:04

This base of people has

26:07

this group out that sent this robot

26:09

call out that's ringing up people's

26:11

phones in Florida all over the place, and

26:14

to do something so blatantly

26:17

racist against

26:19

a man. Listen to me, We

26:23

have got to go to these polls

26:26

to show them that the real power

26:29

is not in name calling. The real

26:31

power is not in racism. The

26:33

real power is not in

26:35

insulting us. The real power

26:38

is not in voter oppression. The real

26:41

power is in voting. That

26:43

you can vote this type

26:45

of behavior and suppress that.

26:48

You're right. That's one of the reasons, you

26:50

know, I think it's important to play

26:52

this this kind of thing, because this is

26:54

the kind of thing that should make you get out and

26:56

vote. If that, if that makes you angry,

26:59

get it out and vote, cast your

27:01

vote, do your civic duty. You're absolutely

27:04

right, because it's horrible

27:06

what they're doing. It's they're not talking

27:08

about issues. They're

27:11

talking about flat out pure

27:13

hatred of a person because of the

27:15

color of their skins. Now,

27:19

Stacy Abrams in Georgia, we

27:22

got to get out and vote. A lot

27:25

of people have been vote, been talking about voting.

27:27

They're concerned about

27:30

the number of rappers that's

27:32

backing Stacy Abril. They're

27:34

concerned about that. I

27:37

saw an audio tape of them talking

27:39

about it on the phone to They have a right

27:41

to vote just like you do. What are you talking

27:43

about? But see, listen to me. What we

27:45

got to do is we got to show up. This

27:48

is who we are. We are people

27:51

who vote. You know, we

27:53

did it in two thousand eight we did it in two

27:55

thousand twelve. We got to do it

27:57

again in two thousand eighteen. See

27:59

we slept it in two thousand sixteen, and

28:02

you see what happens time.

28:07

But we've got

28:09

to get out November six and vide

28:11

for our right to vote. They really did.

28:14

They gave their lives. We have to

28:16

do. It's sickening that

28:18

in two thousand and eighteen we have to deal

28:21

with some minstrel white

28:24

man wants to make fun of this

28:26

brother down in Florida

28:28

and he way over in Idaho. Man

28:34

don't know nothing about himself. He black, and you

28:37

don't want him in because you want to

28:39

protect a certain base,

28:41

a certain and this base is getting on my nerves

28:45

because that base right there, it's

28:48

very reflective of the leadership and

28:50

I'm telling you, man, he plays to

28:53

them. He goes to these rallies. These

28:55

rallies ain't to talk policy. It's

28:58

a comedy show. It's a routine

29:01

here there telling jokes. He's performing.

29:04

He loves it, man, he loves

29:06

people clapping for him. He's

29:08

a narcissist. Man. This guy

29:11

is just if you like me

29:13

cool, That's why he sat up there and he listened to Kanye

29:16

for so long. How does Kanye get an audience

29:19

in the over office to talk

29:21

about nothing? This is

29:24

the type of plane you are to be on. You

29:26

like a father to me when I when

29:28

I put this hat on, it's like the superman

29:31

Kate. Let a hug man? Man?

29:35

How easy? How

29:37

does this red hat feel

29:39

like a superman Kate? When the words

29:42

on the hat says make America great

29:44

Again? And I need to know from Kanye

29:47

what period does he want to go back

29:49

to that makes America great again

29:52

for us? Because the damn Show wasn't

29:54

his seventies. It damn show wasn't his sixties.

29:56

It damned show was in the end of the fifties. I was

29:59

here for all of them. Well, thankfully he's quiet

30:01

right now. Steve coming up in entertainment news.

30:04

Megan Kelly apologizes

30:06

for her black face comments. We'll

30:09

talk about it right. I'm sick of this now,

30:11

I'm sick of it. You're listening to morning

30:15

show. Uh.

30:18

Megan Kelly has apologized

30:20

for saying wearing black face and Halloween

30:22

was okay when she was a child. We'll

30:25

talk about it right after you take a listen to this,

30:27

But well, what is racist? Because because

30:30

truly, you do get in trouble if you are a

30:32

white person who puts on black face Halloween

30:34

or a black person who puts on white face for Halloween.

30:37

Like back when I was a kid, that was okay

30:39

as long as you were dressing me. But it's like a character. If

30:41

somebody feels like something is offensive to them,

30:44

then you should say it. And that's fair game. And I'm

30:46

to if you can dress up, you gotta be able to take

30:48

it. One of the things they mentioned is people dressing

30:50

up like Nazis and is if you think

30:53

it's offensive, it probably wow.

30:56

Um. She she made

30:58

these comments Steve on her talk

31:01

show Megan Kelly Today on nbc

31:03

U. During a round table with four white panelists

31:06

about censoring Halloween costumes.

31:08

Megan Kelly also defended Real Housewives

31:11

of New York City star Luanne del Lyceppe,

31:14

who darkened her skin when she dressed as Diana

31:16

Ross for Halloween Land. Now, I saw

31:20

that picture of Countess Louanne. I

31:23

wasn't offended by it. See,

31:25

black face is when you take black

31:28

shoe polish and put it. She just put

31:30

it on a bronzing cream and put on

31:32

a white jumpsuit. And after a week and saying

31:34

I'm dying the Ross, I wasn't really offended

31:36

by that. I'm gonna just be honest. I

31:38

saw it. I didn't take huge. Black

31:41

Face is when you put them black shoe

31:43

polish on your face and then big white

31:46

lips. Yeah, that's

31:49

that's to mock black people. Yeah,

31:52

well, you know, I mean, I mean, there's right,

31:54

exactly the history of black

31:56

face in her culture. Um, this

31:59

is what Megan said. You

32:01

know. Now she's feeling apologetic about

32:03

all of this. Um. She got a lot of backlash,

32:06

and she sent an internal email

32:08

to her colleagues. She wrote that she now

32:10

realizes that such behavior is indeed

32:13

wrong, and that she's sorry. She's

32:15

talking about the history of black face. Now, the

32:18

history of black face in our culture is abhorrent,

32:20

the wound too deep. She added that she's

32:23

never been a politically correct kind of

32:25

person. Yeah we know, we remember

32:27

you from Fox News. Yeah,

32:29

but she says, I understand

32:31

that we do need to be more sensitive in this day

32:33

and age, particularly on

32:36

race and ethnicity issues, which

32:38

are far from being healed. Yes,

32:42

yes, I mean you

32:45

know, she said it so fast that

32:47

you couldn't believe that. She said, Yeah, you're

32:51

right. When I heard it, it kind of got by Yeah.

32:54

Yeah, and it's like, no,

32:56

it's it wasn't cool when you was a child. Yea.

32:59

And it took you a whole your whole career

33:02

practically, to realize that this is

33:04

offensive. They realized that after, they say,

33:07

never realized before. Here's

33:09

here's a deal. I play golf

33:11

with people who are conservatives,

33:14

right wing. I play, I'm on golf

33:17

courses with them all the time. It's no way around

33:19

it. A lot of them

33:22

have grown up. See what what's appalling

33:24

to a lot of us is the norm for them.

33:27

That's why Donald Trump doesn't have any problem

33:29

saying any of the stuff he's saying, because

33:32

for him, it's the norm. And when

33:34

he goes to these rallies, he lets it

33:36

fly because he's think he's amongst

33:39

his peers except them, Poe.

33:41

Ask people out there have no idea

33:43

that Donald Trump could give less than

33:45

a about any of them. They

33:48

don't even understand that man. Donald

33:50

Trump is about the wealthy, that's

33:53

all he don't How can he care

33:55

about the pope when he don't know no pope. How

33:57

can he care about the pope when he has never bim

34:00

Poe. This dude, they never had a struggling

34:02

moment in his life. He cannot relate.

34:05

That's why he can snatch a baby from a mother at

34:07

the border. That's why I don't care about

34:09

stopping no caravan go back home. That's

34:12

that's why he don't care no by nothing. He has

34:14

no respect for women. This

34:17

is who the President of the United States he is. I'm

34:19

sorry, yeah, I think

34:21

you know they should have kept Tamaron

34:23

Hall and making Kelly Spot just left

34:26

Tamaron Hall. Alright,

34:29

time for today's headline, Steve Aies

34:32

and gentlemen, miss and trip and

34:37

this is a trip with the news. Good morning, everybody. Turkish

34:39

meeting now reporting that their investigators who found

34:41

suitcases and clothing in a vehicle left

34:44

in the garage attached to the Saudi consulate

34:46

that may have belonged to missing journalists Kamal.

34:49

The Saudis finally acknowledging that Kasagi

34:52

died in the consulate on October two, even

34:54

though they're claiming he died accidentally during

34:56

a fist fight. The Turkish president, though

34:58

riskip Urgan, says isn't investigators say

35:00

the colonists was murdered and then the most

35:03

gruesome, premeditated way. Our

35:05

security and intelligence teams have

35:09

information and these suggest

35:12

that this was a planned incident,

35:16

and trying to blame a few members

35:19

of the intelligence community will

35:21

not satisfy US or the

35:24

international community. It

35:26

will be satisfactory only when everyone

35:29

who is responsible for this is

35:31

penalized, and the Turks say they want the killers

35:34

tried in Turkey. Authorities would also like

35:36

to see cuss Ogi's body. President

35:38

Trump claims that the Central American margrants

35:40

headed here and not just poor people looking for a better

35:42

life. You have people coming up through

35:44

the southern border from the Middle

35:46

East and other places that are not appropriate

35:49

for our country, and I'm

35:51

not letting them in. The caravan

35:54

of migrants who now said the number about seven thousand,

35:56

most of them Honduran currently forced to

35:58

camp on a Mexican basketball court with few

36:00

facilities and no food. The presidents threatening

36:02

to cut off all the aid that we send to Honduras,

36:05

Guatemala, and Al Salador if those governments

36:07

don't get their people to come back home. However,

36:09

critics say that cutting off aide would only end up

36:12

forcing more and more people to leave their countries.

36:14

According to Rolling Stone magazine, the Republican candidate

36:16

for governor and Georgia Get This, Briant Kemp, caught

36:19

on audio tapes saying that his democratic challenges

36:21

get out the Vote operation quote continues

36:24

to concern us, especially if everybody uses

36:26

and exercises their right to vote. That's what this

36:28

man said. Kemp's opponents, Stacy Abrams,

36:31

would be the first black female governor. Kemp

36:33

reportedly made that comment at Professionals

36:35

for Kemp event. When Rolling Stone called

36:37

Kemp's campaign about the remark, they

36:39

acknowledged that the event took place, but they wouldn't

36:41

comment further. Meanwhile, this guy, Brian

36:43

Kemp is currently Georgia's Secretary of State.

36:45

It was reported last week right here on the

36:48

Steve Harvey Morning Show that they decided to suspend

36:50

come fifty three thousand ballot applications,

36:52

about seventy that belonging to African Americans.

36:55

American Public media says Kemp Persians estimated

36:57

one hundred seven thousand voters from the roll

37:00

last year simply because they didn't vote in the prior

37:02

election. He's being sued for leaving

37:04

more than six million Georgia voting records

37:06

open to hacking. He's also being sued

37:08

because of an abnormal amount of absentee bounce

37:11

and the Peach state mostly belonged to black and Asian

37:13

vote. This guy is running for governor.

37:16

Here's up Steve Harvey Nation find out of uncle Steve

37:18

37:20

letta with my friends? Surely strong? Thank

55:16

you, junr. Subject is

55:24

it so good that is clouding my judgment?

55:27

Here? Stephen Shirley, I am a forty

55:29

three year old single mom of two.

55:32

For the past year, I have been seeing

55:34

a nice forty three year old gentleman

55:37

that I met on the Plenty of Fish dating

55:39

site. When we met, I told

55:42

him that I was ready for a relationship, not

55:44

just to hook up for sex. He said,

55:47

let's see where it goes. Two weeks

55:49

later, after talking on the phone, we

55:52

finally met up and we ended

55:54

up having sex that first night.

55:58

Darned, Steve, it was so good, goold

56:00

that I could not stop. We continue

56:03

to have sex at least once a week, and he

56:05

started staying overnight at my house.

56:08

About six months later, I asked

56:10

him, So are we together? He said,

56:12

no, we're just friends. He told

56:14

me that we should just stop having sex and just be

56:16

friends because I was getting too emotionally

56:18

attached to him. Not even a week

56:21

went by before he was back in my bed.

56:23

The sex is so darn good

56:26

that I cannot stay away from this man. But

56:29

I really wanted a relationship.

56:31

The whole time we've been together, I have been

56:34

taking him to and from work. He

56:36

does not have a car or his own place

56:38

to live. I also cook for this man

56:40

and give him money when he needs

56:43

it. He does pay me back each

56:45

time. I'm giving one percent

56:48

of myself to him, but he has the

56:50

nerve to only like me as a friend.

56:53

It makes me feel like he's just using me.

56:56

Is this is the good sex clouding my

56:58

judgment? What's really going on here?

57:01

Please advise? Okay,

57:04

okay, seriously, seriously,

57:06

if you were here, I would physically shake

57:09

you so hard, try to shake

57:11

some sense into you. You know, you

57:14

may be forty three year olds, but

57:16

but you're you're doing way too much. Okay,

57:19

I mean, just talk about over

57:21

and above and beyond. That's

57:23

all you, that's all you. You're doing way

57:26

too much. And I disagree

57:28

with you. No, he's not using

57:31

you. He doesn't have to. I mean, you

57:33

won't even give him a chance to use you because

57:35

you're right there. Let's let's go down the

57:37

list. You give him sex when he wants it, You

57:39

cook for him, you drive

57:42

him to and from work, he stays

57:44

with you, and you give him

57:47

money. What are you doing? What

57:49

are you doing? I mean, don't

57:52

you take him to and from work? I gotta

57:54

ask you that. So why do you have to give him money

57:56

to It's too much,

57:58

You're doing too much. I just

58:01

don't understand. You know, you

58:03

have to get some self respect. You have

58:05

to you have none. Okay,

58:09

you have to stop this. Um, I'm

58:11

glad you wrote us. Uh. Nothing

58:13

You know, I ain't attached to no car. Note, I

1:03:21

ain't attached to no mortgage and no payment.

1:03:25

You know, I ain't attached to no kitchen nowhere while

1:03:27

I'm cooking, I ain't attached

1:03:30

to no money. Don't you see me always needing

1:03:32

something? You

1:03:34

don't do attach The sex

1:03:37

is so damn good, I can't stay away

1:03:39

from he give me the money

1:03:41

back. But he don't have a car

1:03:43

or house. He needs money

1:03:45

all the time, and you gotta take him

1:03:48

to him from work. My question for

1:03:50

you for we went on break was where does he work

1:03:52

at the paper route. I'm trying to figure

1:03:54

out what job he got where he can't get a car, a

1:03:56

house, or need money on the time. Now

1:04:01

you want to ask me, let

1:04:03

me explain something to you about this good sex.

1:04:06

You happy? You're having sex

1:04:08

with a man that ain't got

1:04:10

a car. You're

1:04:12

having sex with a man that need a ride

1:04:14

to and from work. You're

1:04:16

having sex with a man that ain't got

1:04:19

his own place. You

1:04:21

guys having sexual with a man that can't cook,

1:04:24

and you're having sexual with a man that needs

1:04:26

money on the time for him. The

1:04:30

reason his sex is so good for

1:04:35

food. Listen

1:04:49

to me, you your

1:04:51

entire mind. God,

1:04:58

I know you had to bleat that, but that's the best way

1:05:00

to say that. There's

1:05:03

another reason. See

1:05:06

this is called BS that he's given you.

1:05:09

This is just BS. Now

1:05:12

clean. The way to say it is b

1:05:14

S is called benefits screwing because

1:05:18

he has to produce the type of screwing

1:05:21

that produces benefits. So

1:05:24

now he is that giving his all in all, and

1:05:27

he got to because he probably

1:05:30

working part time. He got time shopping

1:05:32

this gig. He don't

1:05:34

have the stress that most men have them.

1:05:37

A lot of men came perform called the stress.

1:05:41

But he ain't got none. He ain't

1:05:43

got no mortgage, he ain't got no card.

1:05:45

No, he ain't got no kitchen. He got

1:05:47

Brono grocery. Why why

1:05:49

is he stressing? For? He

1:05:52

is free to b S

1:05:55

to benefits screw Oh

1:05:58

he just in that perform. All

1:06:01

his energy is in his sexual

1:06:04

performance. He came

1:06:07

buy you a coat for Christmas

1:06:12

at Burlington. He

1:06:16

can't bring you a plate from Stein

1:06:19

Maul. He can't

1:06:21

bring them kids and yards are taught

1:06:23

from wal Mart. He

1:06:26

can't bringing you a happy meal from McDonald's

1:06:30

and when he do getting money, it's so rare.

1:06:33

He died a Chick fil A on the Sunday talking

1:06:35

about how to hell there? You know? Money

1:06:39

doing the week? You know that they ain't over right,

1:06:44

This man that

1:06:47

you think you want to have a relationship

1:06:49

1:06:51

him? Somebody you got to take care of and

1:06:54

can't do nothing for you except

1:06:56

good sex. Then that's

1:06:58

all it is. It's just good

1:07:01

sex. It's nothing, no other

1:07:03

benefit to him. And

1:07:05

let me tell you something, just going well off?

1:07:09

Because you know why it's going well because

1:07:12

you're gonna mess where I need something. Everybody

1:08:42

He can't do nothing for you or your children.

1:09:08

1:09:11

Letter at Steve Harvey. Woolf

1:09:14

Cope at Steve Harvey

1:09:16

FM. Coming up, coming

1:09:21

up in about ten minutes, we're gonna talk about voting,

1:09:23

So don't go anywhere. We'll be back right

1:09:25

after this. You're

1:09:29

listening to the Steve Harvey Morning

1:09:31

Show. Alright, well, guys, the mid

1:09:34

terms are about two weeks away. We talked

1:09:36

about this earlier in the show. Last night

1:09:38

was the debate in Georgia between the gubernatorial

1:09:41

candidates. The headlines before the

1:09:43

debate was that Democratic candidate Stacy

1:09:46

Abrams defended her action

1:09:48

of burning the old Georgia State Confederate

1:09:50

flag by while

1:09:52

she was attending Spellman College. She

1:09:55

was a student there. We all know the Georgia State

1:09:57

Confederate flag was viewed by many as

1:09:59

a symbol of white supremacy. Ms

1:10:02

Abrams tweeted that she was proud

1:10:04

to be on the right side of history and

1:10:06

to have fought against hate

1:10:09

her entire life. I'm

1:10:12

trying to understand this

1:10:14

woman burned the Confederate flag when

1:10:16

she was in college, and they don't

1:10:19

want her to be the governor. But

1:10:22

you can sexually assault a woman in

1:10:26

high school, which is just

1:10:29

a year two before college, and

1:10:33

you can get on the Supreme Court. I'm

1:10:37

confused. Excuse

1:10:40

me, moral party, but I'm confused

1:10:44

about when do we start becoming

1:10:46

moral? When is that flag more

1:10:49

important than a woman's rights?

1:10:53

But see, as long as it's them, it's

1:10:56

cool. So you know, I'm

1:10:58

I'm, I'm just really man, wanting someone

1:11:00

to explain to me. And if you

1:11:02

understand what that flag represented

1:11:05

it to black people flag,

1:11:09

if you understand what it meant to black people,

1:11:12

people of color, people who lived

1:11:14

under that flag and suffered major

1:11:17

oppression and injustices,

1:11:20

murders and rapes under

1:11:24

that flag, why would

1:11:27

we honor that flag? The

1:11:29

American flag I don't have a problem

1:11:31

with I do not have a

1:11:33

problem with the American flag none

1:11:36

whatsoever. I

1:11:38

do have a problem with the Confederate flag.

1:11:41

And nothing you can say gonna change my view

1:11:44

about that flag, not a thing,

1:11:47

because I know from years

1:11:49

of listening to my father, my uncle's,

1:11:52

my aunt's what that flags do it

1:11:54

for for them, And you're not going to change

1:11:56

my mind about it. Just

1:11:59

please get out of vote people. We got

1:12:01

to vote, man, You were absolutely

1:12:04

take everyone who's of age in your household,

1:12:07

your friends. If there's someone

1:12:10

that you know that can't make it to the polls

1:12:12

because of transportation, drive

1:12:14

them if you have to arrange, you

1:12:16

know, transportation for them. If you can just

1:12:19

get to the polls. This is one of the

1:12:21

most important elections in

1:12:23

our lifetime. Really, it is, really,

1:12:26

yeah, it really is. You

1:12:28

gotta vote. You gotta vote. And it doesn't matter

1:12:30

if you don't live in Georgia, if you don't

1:12:33

live in Florida and you're hearing us talk about

1:12:35

this and you think, well, this doesn't affect my stat

1:12:37

of this. No, you still have to

1:12:39

get out and vote in the midterm elections

1:12:42

and elect people that are concerned about

1:12:44

issues in your community. There is

1:12:46

an election in your state. If

1:12:49

you're listening to this radio show, you're

1:12:52

in an area, you

1:12:55

have to go vote. You have to vote in

1:12:59

Montana, right you

1:13:03

have to vote. Yeah, if you want to see

1:13:05

change, if you want to make a change,

1:13:08

vote that is your power. We

1:13:12

have got to get a balance

1:13:15

in the Senate and the House.

1:13:19

We got to get a balance because right now

1:13:21

it's heavily leaning

1:13:24

right wing and

1:13:27

it's not representative of our country.

1:13:29

And that changed when President Obama

1:13:31

was in office and it was a

1:13:33

low vert voter turnout for the mid

1:13:35

term elections. And um,

1:13:38

when he was in office, what was that two thousand ten?

1:13:41

Yeah, and then the Republicans controlled

1:13:43

control. Yeah, the Tea Party

1:13:46

was born, all of that stuff. Okay,

1:13:48

So and they tried to stop him from doing yes

1:13:51

everything, President Obama. So

1:13:54

we gotta turn this around. Yeah, we gotta vote.

1:13:56

The vote is your voice, your power, you

1:13:58

matter. Please vote. That's

1:14:01

it. Yes, So

1:14:03

Georgia and now Florida. Oh

1:14:06

Florida, Um wow. Uh

1:14:08

Andrew gillim and he's

1:14:11

in a he's in a tight race there, but he's

1:14:13

ahead so far. He's running

1:14:15

for governor. He'll be the first black

1:14:17

governor of Florida. And um

1:14:21

if elected. Uh, he's you know,

1:14:23

faced racist comments, dog

1:14:26

whistles throughout his campaign. Um.

1:14:28

The morning after the primaries, Representative

1:14:31

Ron de Santis, uh Gilham's

1:14:34

opponent, went on TV and warned

1:14:36

voters not to monkey this up

1:14:39

by trying to embrace the socialist

1:14:41

agenda and huge tax increases

1:14:43

and bankrupting the state. You caught

1:14:46

that right, uh huh quote

1:14:50

monkey this up by trying to embrace

1:14:53

the socialist agenda with huge tax

1:14:55

increases and bankrupting the state. Okay,

1:14:59

this is could have said and he used any

1:15:01

other words. Yeah,

1:15:04

besides monkey, come

1:15:06

on, now we know that we

1:15:08

know, we know what you're doing.

1:15:11

They got cold word, like they know we know him nationalists.

1:15:16

Well, monkey ain't a code. Yeah,

1:15:19

that's pretty obvious. Yeah, she

1:15:21

Trump don't use cold either. He

1:15:23

didn't grab a woman by the pete. That's

1:15:26

not a code. That's

1:15:28

a direct hit. He called himself

1:15:30

a nationalist to say

1:15:32

it, I'm gonna say it, I'm a nationalist, and

1:15:35

he doubled down and said it again. You're right.

1:15:37

I don't even know what that means. Excuse

1:15:40

me. It's he's trying

1:15:42

to say that he's for America and

1:15:45

he's not like a globalist and thinks

1:15:47

in terms of the world. He's just

1:15:49

thinking of America, this nation.

1:15:53

What he should say, he's a patriot. Yeah,

1:15:55

and that's what he should say. He shouldn't

1:15:57

say nationalists. That's no,

1:16:00

he's not a patriot. Taxes,

1:16:10

that's a good one. Scene. First

1:16:13

I was like, huh then you

1:16:15

yeah, you nail that one for you

1:16:18

nail that one. Yeah, No, he's

1:16:20

not alright,

1:16:24

speaking of voting, Donald Trump's

1:16:26

predecessor wants you to vote.

1:16:29

We'll hear what President Barack Obama has

1:16:31

to say. Right after this, you're listening

1:16:34

to the Steve Harvey Morning Show. President

1:16:37

Barack Obama is trying to simulate

1:16:39

young voters. He responds to some

1:16:41

of the commonly made excuses for not voting.

1:16:44

Take a listen to some of the excuses and some of

1:16:46

the answers. I don't care about

1:16:49

politics. Look,

1:16:51

I don't care about Pokemon, but that doesn't mean

1:16:53

it won't keep on coming back. That's

1:16:55

actually what people in power are betting on that

1:16:58

you'll check out, that you won't vote,

1:17:00

And when you opt out, that's

1:17:02

what allows other people to essentially

1:17:05

fill that void. It allows them to do nothing

1:17:07

about the things that you'd like to

1:17:09

see government do. So, if

1:17:12

you really want to throw a wrench in their

1:17:14

plans, throw them out. Vote

1:17:16

in somebody better next. Why

1:17:19

bother voting when I can't relate

1:17:22

to the candidates? This is actually a good

1:17:24

question. For way too long, politicians

1:17:26

haven't been representative of America

1:17:29

as a whole. But that's changing.

1:17:31

This year. More women are running for office

1:17:33

than ever before. More LGBT candidates

1:17:36

are running for office. First time candidates,

1:17:38

young veterans of Iraq and Afghanistan,

1:17:41

young leaders from across the political spectrum.

1:17:43

So this year, more than any other year,

1:17:46

you have the chance to change the

1:17:48

face of politics so that it looks more

1:17:50

like your own, right,

1:17:55

That's what we need. Yeah, come

1:17:58

on, get up and votes. He's

1:18:03

just such a good I

1:18:07

mean, I don't understand how really

1:18:10

y'all um to sit this one

1:18:12

out? This this

1:18:15

has to be the most oh

1:18:19

voter attended meda election, med

1:18:21

a term election in our history. Because

1:18:23

if we get out, man, we can change, We

1:18:26

can stop this wave of

1:18:29

senselessness towards other

1:18:32

humanity. We we

1:18:34

have a president who

1:18:37

does not care about

1:18:39

anyone that isn't rich. He

1:18:42

doesn't man this wall.

1:18:44

He talked about we're gonna build the wall. He

1:18:47

to convince these people that this wall

1:18:49

is necessary. Look,

1:18:52

should that be some type of border controls,

1:18:55

Yes, but we need a

1:18:57

policy in place where people

1:18:59

who are qualified to coming into this country

1:19:02

can come. See, ain't no problem

1:19:04

if you're coming from Poland, checkos

1:19:06

off, Slovakia, friends, Italy.

1:19:10

You can come from any one of them countries because

1:19:12

you can come over here. What you cannot do is

1:19:15

bring your brown body over here

1:19:18

without a dog fight, because

1:19:21

all y'all coming is criminals. Excuse

1:19:24

me, what what?

1:19:27

What? But if you come from

1:19:30

south of that border and you brown,

1:19:34

you Cuban, Guatemalan, Hondurian,

1:19:38

Nickaraguin, Mexican, Jamaic,

1:19:43

any other thing, any any kind of

1:19:45

color man, please

1:19:47

get out of here. It's

1:19:49

sad. But then the

1:19:51

hypocrisy of the

1:19:53

Republican Party is what sickens

1:19:56

me the most. You act

1:19:58

like you're not the one hid these people,

1:20:01

and now they've tried to spend it and go.

1:20:03

They're gonna take minorities.

1:20:05

Need to be aware because they're gonna take jobs from

1:20:07

minorities and poor whites. They

1:20:09

don't come over here to take work that y'all want

1:20:12

to do. And the only reason

1:20:14

they can take the construction workers is

1:20:16

because the owners of construction workers

1:20:19

like hind these skilled labor and

1:20:21

underpaying them. Ain't gonna give no benefits.

1:20:24

Who you think on them? Come, you

1:20:27

think they're all democrats? Huh,

1:20:30

that's not true. So

1:20:33

now the hypocrisy of not wanting

1:20:35

them over here, it's ludicrous

1:20:37

because they need them over here to

1:20:40

do the farming. They need them over here to keep

1:20:42

these restaurants running. They need them over here

1:20:44

to keep the kind of the the their construction

1:20:46

business a lot. Here's the other

1:20:49

hypocrisy. We

1:20:52

don't want any more abortions. If

1:20:54

you vote for abortion, we're gonna take you out of office.

1:20:57

Do you all think for one minute that Republicans

1:20:59

don't get abortion? Are you kidding

1:21:02

me? You think Republican people

1:21:04

don't get abortion? You're sadly mistaken.

1:21:07

Here's the other bit of hypocrisy. Uh,

1:21:10

we don't want abortions, we don't

1:21:12

want images, and we don't want

1:21:14

gays to have any rights. Excuse

1:21:18

me you you you

1:21:20

really don't think that

1:21:22

the Republican party who

1:21:24

was against gay marriage, who was against

1:21:27

these gay rights, being able to inform

1:21:29

families and get benefits. Do you

1:21:31

really think that are no Republican

1:21:33

gay people? You

1:21:36

think the majority of gay people is liberals

1:21:38

and left wing? Are you out of your

1:21:40

mind? Are you kidding

1:21:43

me? That hypocrisy

1:21:47

that they've created. Now

1:21:49

they disguise all of that and

1:21:53

they say, we're gonna build this wall, and

1:21:56

we're gonna protect our country, and

1:21:58

we're gonna make them very cold great again.

1:22:02

When was America great? When

1:22:05

was when did America used to be better than

1:22:07

it is now. I'm

1:22:10

scared to ask him when they think that is,

1:22:12

because I'm telling you, black folks, if

1:22:14

you find out when they thought America was great

1:22:16

again, you're gonna be stunned. Your

1:22:19

ass ain't gonna be sitting there no more damn lunch

1:22:21

counters. If you get back to when they

1:22:23

thought it was, you

1:22:25

fin to get some Jerman shepherds put on your

1:22:28

as you

1:22:30

you you really think, I

1:22:32

don't know when you think that's gonna happen, Bodner.

1:22:35

But Brother back at cud waterfounds,

1:22:39

Brother, make America

1:22:41

great again as brother,

1:22:44

brother off the side walk when they

1:22:46

come back. Brother. That's

1:22:51

my comment, man, and I'm doing it.

1:22:53

That's am I doing it? Come? Yeah?

1:22:55

You are? You are surprisingly

1:22:58

no cusin Yeah, none of that. So,

1:23:00

yeah, we don't have a serious subject.

1:23:02

This is a serious time. This country is divided

1:23:05

and and we're we're

1:23:07

more divided now than ever because our

1:23:09

leadership creates defusiveness

1:23:12

amongst the people. That he was elected to government

1:23:14

by design too, it's no accident,

1:23:18

but he's only in office for

1:23:20

his debate. Alright,

1:23:22

coming up more of the Steve Harvey Morning

1:23:25

Show right after this. You're

1:23:27

listening to the Steve Harvey Morning

1:23:29

Show. A judge has

1:23:31

denied Bill Cosby's attempt at a new

1:23:34

trial and reduced sentence. This is according

1:23:36

to NBC News. Cosby's

1:23:38

lawyers argued that the evidence against

1:23:40

him was old and unreliable

1:23:42

and shouldn't have been allowed at trial. They

1:23:45

also said his sentence was unnecessarily

1:23:47

harsh, but Judge Steven O'Neill said

1:23:49

he found no reason to grant the request. Becausby

1:23:52

was recently sentenced to three to ten years

1:23:54

in prison for drugging and sexually

1:23:56

assaulting Andrea Constant back

1:23:58

in two thousand for Wow.

1:24:02

Yeah, it's

1:24:05

so sad what has happened to

1:24:09

all of these women. It's

1:24:13

so sad what it's what an

1:24:15

iconic figure has become. It's

1:24:19

so sad that these women are left to grapple

1:24:22

with this for so long, for what happened

1:24:24

to them. I

1:24:27

cannot sit here, as

1:24:30

a friend of his, a man who had a friendship

1:24:32

with him, and say that

1:24:35

I don't believe any of this is true, because

1:24:39

it's just it's too much evidence.

1:24:42

It's just too much. It's

1:24:45

heartbreaking to

1:24:47

have set with this man so many times,

1:24:50

learned so many things, having

1:24:53

had no idea any of this what's going on.

1:24:55

I mean, none of us knew. Really, you know, none

1:24:57

of us knew that any of this was even

1:25:00

going on. It was shocking when I heard about it, like

1:25:03

now, come on, man, because

1:25:06

there were no signs of it. But

1:25:09

as you got to going along with it, it's just

1:25:12

too many people came out. Too

1:25:15

many people came out, and

1:25:17

it became like wait a minute, man, hold on, don't

1:25:22

bill, come on man. And

1:25:24

so you know this this retrial,

1:25:28

old evidence that was allowed

1:25:31

to come in, um

1:25:34

oh this last time. Yeah, that's

1:25:37

what the lawyers were saying when they was

1:25:39

trying to get a retrial. Old evidence

1:25:41

was brought in. Keywords

1:25:44

evidence. Evidence

1:25:47

is facts or

1:25:51

information gathered that

1:25:53

shows guilt or innocence. That's

1:25:56

what evidence is in

1:25:58

a layman term. So something

1:26:01

happened that they allowed

1:26:03

to be said that caused

1:26:06

the conviction. And

1:26:09

you know, at one point in time, we all have to

1:26:11

answer to whatever it is we do or

1:26:13

we've done, and if you've gotten away with it, eventually

1:26:15

you have to pay. Now

1:26:22

it's just hard, man, when you've been a friend

1:26:24

to a guy, when a guy has friended you

1:26:27

and with no knowledge of it, but just taught me so

1:26:30

many things about being on television, help

1:26:33

my sons at more House University. And

1:26:36

then to find out this is heartbreaking,

1:26:39

It really really is heartbreaking, and

1:26:41

to see what has happened to this iconic figure.

1:26:44

Yeah, it was hard to watch him go into

1:26:46

the courtroom and to the jail

1:26:48

and be led away like that and everything.

1:26:51

And then, you know, on the other hand, it

1:26:53

was like, well, finally justice for the women.

1:26:55

You know that he's Yeah, on

1:26:58

the other hand, so you know, you're just torn.

1:27:01

It was. It was a tough time still

1:27:03

is you know. Yeah, and he's in prison

1:27:06

today and we all grew up watching

1:27:08

him. You know, he was America's dad at

1:27:10

one time, you know. All

1:27:13

right, well, alright,

1:27:16

well, coming up more of the Steve Harvey Morning

1:27:18

Show. Right after this. You're listening

1:27:20

to the Steve Harvey Morning Show. Lottery

1:27:23

fever is in the air. It's everywhere.

1:27:26

The mega million dollar jack pot was last

1:27:28

1:27:39

Okay, Well, Steve, listen to

1:27:43

wealthy person Floyd Money. Mayweather

1:27:49

same amount Steve two thousand dollars

1:27:51

worth of lottery tickets. Okay, now

1:27:55

1:27:59

worth of six hundred million. Yes,

1:28:03

well, I mean you're rather wealthy. You're you're

1:28:05

1:28:12

1:28:15

1:28:27

1:28:29

want it though, don't you right? We want

1:28:31

1:28:33

six hundred millions that that wouldn't be enough.

1:28:36

Yeah, you need more? Yeah, I mean what else

1:28:39

1:29:10

I promise you, if you get it to me, y'all

1:29:14

can follow me with a camp. I'm

1:29:17

gonna do a reality show. Y'all come on following

1:29:20

me, because

1:29:22

it's about the last time you're gonna see me anyway. Then

1:29:24

you'll finally do a reality show. Right brother,

1:29:30

I'm telling you right now, six hundred

1:29:33

mill or square me straight up. Well

1:29:37

yeah, so what

1:29:39

A friend of mine, h fun

1:29:52

1:29:54

1:29:59

other one twenty what's that gonna do? Give

1:30:10

1:30:16

take that cash shot is how much

1:30:19

three hundred and fifty four point three

1:30:21

1:30:25

I take two hundred and fifty

1:30:27

million. Put it in that same

1:30:30

investment count at twelve

1:30:32

percent, and I'm living

1:30:34

on thirty million a year interest.

1:30:38

You get the check for that twelve months

1:30:40

thirty twelve months, you get thirty

1:30:43

millions, and you will

1:30:45

still have the two hundred and fifty millions.

1:30:48

So you need to counsel some of those people

1:30:50

who have won the lottery. Ain't. I ain't council

1:30:53

nobody. Don't grow me. I'm changing my

1:30:55

number soon as I win, because you all

1:30:57

those people who have one and they're

1:31:00

broke. Now, coming up, we'll

1:31:02

have more of the Steve Harvey Morning Show.

1:31:04

As as a nephew, Tommy would say,

1:31:06

excuse me, Thomas Miles, we're heading toward

1:31:09

the benediction for this show today.

1:31:12

Right after this, you're listening to

1:31:14

the Steve Harvey Morning Show. All

1:31:17

right, Steve, you know what earlier in the show,

1:31:19

Um, I told

1:31:21

you this new surveys out. It's about

1:31:24

millionaires and it says, if you want

1:31:26

to be rich, be positive. Uh.

1:31:28

This is according to a new survey. Like I said, millionaires

1:31:31

do their best to stay away from

1:31:33

pessimists. Okay. The survey

1:31:35

found that nine out of ten rich people

1:31:37

make it a point to be around people who

1:31:39

are positive and focused on success.

1:31:43

So, you know, I gotta ask you, Steve, is

1:31:45

that true? Do you live your life like that?

1:31:48

And? Uh? You

1:31:50

know what can we learn from all of that? Well? I

1:31:52

mean you really, you really, if you want to be

1:31:54

successful, you're going to have to associate

1:31:57

yourself with other successful

1:31:59

people, then not hard to find. They're

1:32:02

not that hard to find. There

1:32:05

are a lot of success driven people.

1:32:08

You gotta be willing to strike up conversations.

1:32:10

But in order to do it, for the most part, most

1:32:12

people have to be willing to step outside

1:32:15

of their comfort zone. Walk up to somebody

1:32:17

who you think is successful and introduce yourself

1:32:20

and just say, hey, look, I've never met you. I just wanted

1:32:22

to introduce myself. I'm so and so

1:32:24

I've noticed you around here. Congratulations.

1:32:27

Man. If we could ever get a chance to sit

1:32:29

down and talk while I can learn from you, I sure

1:32:31

would appreciate that. I don't want anything. I

1:32:34

just want to learn maybe some principles

1:32:36

of some of the things that most successful

1:32:38

people are willing to share that information. Most

1:32:40

successful people don't want to give you money, but

1:32:43

most successful people will share that

1:32:45

information with you to make you feel

1:32:49

uhh, I mean, you know, to feel as though they're contributing

1:32:51

to your success without being the

1:32:53

success. You know what I'm saying. I

1:32:56

would much rather give you some advice that

1:32:58

can carry you long throughout your life than

1:33:00

to give you ten dollars so you can

1:33:02

go body t shirts them

1:33:08

how to fish. Yeah, it is

1:33:10

very true. One of the principles of success.

1:33:13

And this can go along. You can ask me a couple of questions

1:33:15

like that, Shirley today, because that could be part of

1:33:17

our closing remarks. Because people do

1:33:20

want to be happy and people do want to be

1:33:22

successful. But you've got to be prepared

1:33:24

to get uncomfortable. What

1:33:26

do you mean by that? You have to

1:33:30

understand that becoming

1:33:32

successful is extremely uncomfortable.

1:33:35

It is, listen to me, extremely

1:33:39

uncomfortable. It is not

1:33:41

easy to be disciplined. Discipline

1:33:45

is simply doing everything you have

1:33:47

to do, even when you don't want

1:33:49

to do it. That's discipline.

1:33:52

Well, that right there is uncomfortable.

1:33:55

Getting up every day all the time.

1:33:58

Yeah, making every eating,

1:34:01

going to all the seminars, making

1:34:03

all the classes, taking all the phone

1:34:06

calls. You're gonna do. You're gonna do all the phone

1:34:08

calls, all the meetings. You're gonna sit there and

1:34:10

listen to every pitching proposal. You're

1:34:13

gonna do the things. You're gonna read success

1:34:15

books. You're actually gonna apply the

1:34:17

principles of success and try to live. You

1:34:19

mean you tell me you're gonna change the way you eat,

1:34:22

so you can feel better and think more clear to clear,

1:34:24

which will help you become more successful. Oh

1:34:27

no, I'm not gonna do all that. People don't

1:34:29

want to be out of their comfort zone

1:34:32

because I've heard many more people

1:34:34

say, oh, I'm not doing that. I don't feel like doing that

1:34:36

today. Stuff. That's

1:34:39

the beginning of not being successful.

1:34:42

I don't feel I ain't doing that today. I don't feel

1:34:45

like it. Everybody has those

1:34:47

movies. I get them myself. But for the

1:34:49

most part, nine point

1:34:52

nine percent at the time, I go ahead and

1:34:54

do what I gotta do. Now, if

1:34:56

I move something off, I'm gonna get it done.

1:34:58

But we gotta put it in an of the time slot.

1:35:01

But I'm gonna get it done. But I don't leave nothing

1:35:04

undone. Well, we know that you

1:35:07

have more jobs than anyone.

1:35:10

You know what, go ahead. But I

1:35:12

did want to ask you this, Steve. I think we

1:35:15

touched on it earlier and we didn't get a chance to complete

1:35:17

it. But you've made it.

1:35:20

Uh, you know, for for a lot of

1:35:22

us who know you, and for a lot of people

1:35:24

just in general, your fans, and you have

1:35:27

made it. You know, You're what success

1:35:29

looks like. So are you done by

1:35:33

no stretch of the imagination. I'm

1:35:36

not even I'm not even third and away there

1:35:39

have you ever has anyone ever asked you, well,

1:35:41

how much more money do you need? Well,

1:35:43

I don't need any more money. Okay,

1:35:47

no, I want a

1:35:49

lot more. I don't need

1:35:51

no more. What more do you want? What

1:35:54

is it that I don't I have not provided

1:35:56

all the opportunities I feel like

1:35:58

that I'm capable of providing. I can't

1:36:00

be on any more TV shows, but there

1:36:02

are people around me who can. I

1:36:05

want to be able to provide those opportunities.

1:36:08

There are people who have some great business

1:36:10

ideas that I would invest in

1:36:13

that could turn into something big. I

1:36:17

have yet to find the right financial

1:36:19

partner that has more than I

1:36:21

do, that's willing to put some money with my

1:36:24

company and go, hey, now, let's be partners and

1:36:26

let's go do this. I'm always

1:36:28

looking for that. I am looking

1:36:30

for in a way that my wife and I can

1:36:32

send these ten thousand kids to college,

1:36:35

full scholarships paid. We made a din

1:36:37

in it, but we're not close to the ten thousand

1:36:40

that we set out to do. I want

1:36:42

to change thousands of boys,

1:36:44

a lot lives a year. I really

1:36:47

let me change that. I want to change a million boys

1:36:49

lives a year as opposed

1:36:52

to hundreds I hear, And

1:36:54

what you're saying, what I hear is your

1:36:57

legacy. This is your legacy you're

1:36:59

working on like I'm working on that a

1:37:01

great deal right now. I want my children's

1:37:03

grandchildren to know money, and

1:37:06

that's important for me. But I also want

1:37:08

to leave a footprint deep

1:37:12

enough where I

1:37:15

have mattered to people. You

1:37:18

know, I just want to matter to people

1:37:20

I would not I'm not gonna matter to everybody.

1:37:22

I'm not naive, but I want to

1:37:24

matter to people. I want to move the needle

1:37:26

for people who are less fortunate than me. I

1:37:29

want to teach as many people as I can and share

1:37:31

the information with as many people as I can

1:37:34

that don't really have anybody

1:37:36

in their life to tell them the principles of success,

1:37:38

or anybody in their life to just tell them, man that you could

1:37:40

be just how you are and have relationship with God. That's

1:37:43

important things to me. I

1:37:46

think those are lofty goals and reachable

1:37:49

goals. And can I tell you one other things for
