Speaker 1: Today's show is pre recorded. Y'all know what time y'all
Speaker 1: don't know. Y'all have a sun giving them like the
Speaker 1: million bucks things and it's not through good it. Steve

Speaker 1: to turn them out. Turn you haven't got to turn
Speaker 1: them out? Then turn the water. The water got Come
Speaker 1: Come on your baby, I sure will. Good morning everybody.
Speaker 1: You are listening to the voice, Come on dig me now,
Speaker 1: one and only. Steve Harvey's got a radio shop. Yeah, man,
Speaker 1: Steve Harvey got a radio shop. Trying to do something
Speaker 1: with it too, man. Uh you know, um, I was
Speaker 1: having a conversation the other day with a young person
Speaker 1: and they were telling me how they felt that their
Speaker 1: life was stuck, that their life was in a rut,
Speaker 1: that they didn't know what to do next. And one
Speaker 1: of the things that was causing them this sadness or
Speaker 1: this depression. I mean, they really really into something right now.
Speaker 1: One of the things that was causing it was the
Speaker 1: fact that they had made a list of things they
Speaker 1: wanted to accomplish by a certain age, and that age
Speaker 1: they just had a birthday recently and they were looking
Speaker 1: at the list and the list hadn't been fulfilled, and
Speaker 1: because that list hadn't been fulfilled, they were really really
Speaker 1: sad about it, you know. Um one of the things
Speaker 1: that they had on the list was marriage, kids, and
Speaker 1: I don't know everything else that was on the list,
Speaker 1: but that was one of them. And because she had
Speaker 1: reached a certain age and she wasn't married, and she
Speaker 1: didn't have the kids, and she had just celebrated her birthday,
Speaker 1: she's gone into this mode of sadness whereas really really
Speaker 1: taking a toll on her and us. As I was
Speaker 1: learning about her situation, I was thinking about it, and
Speaker 1: I just wanted to share this with you all this morning.
Speaker 1: That one of the things about making a list about
Speaker 1: what you want, which I happen to be a proponent of,
Speaker 1: I do it myself. I have people have dream boards,
Speaker 1: I have a gold sheet I have. I've been doing
Speaker 1: it for years. It's a it's a wonderful way to
Speaker 1: set goals and to keep it in front of you
Speaker 1: as a constant reminder. And I always go over this
Speaker 1: goal list every day, you know, I mean I go
Speaker 1: of it all the time, every day. Sometimes I miss
Speaker 1: a day here and there, but mostly every day I
Speaker 1: pulled my gold sheet out and I look at it,
Speaker 1: I read it. So I was going to these rallies
Speaker 1: and I was learning about, you know, people who were
Speaker 1: successful in how they kept their mind writing positive. And
Speaker 1: one of the things I learned was to make these
Speaker 1: dream boards, these lists, these gold sheets. And in making
Speaker 1: a gold sheet, and you make the sheet according to
Speaker 1: what you want, think about one thing when you made
Speaker 1: your gold sheet, about what you want it? Does your
Speaker 1: goal sheet have on it what God wants from you?
Speaker 1: Did you ask in any of this what was His
Speaker 1: will in your life? You know? Look, man, what we
Speaker 1: want oftentimes is not what He wants for us. And
Speaker 1: you know, if you're fighting against what you were created for,
Speaker 1: if you're fighting against his will, I mean, what do
Speaker 1: you want to happen? See? Don't be so hard on
Speaker 1: yourself when you look at your goal sheet and you
Speaker 1: look at what you've not become what you thought was
Speaker 1: a great idea. Don't be so hard on yourself because
Speaker 1: you just made a minded mistake. As do most people,
Speaker 1: we oftentimes make our goals and set our goals up
Speaker 1: without ever considering what is it that God wants from us.
Speaker 1: We keep talking about what we want without ever finding
Speaker 1: out and knowing what it is God wants for us. Well,
Speaker 1: guess what, man, Maybe you're fighting against the grain. Maybe
Speaker 1: you're just a salmon heading upstream. That's a tough fight upstream.
Speaker 1: Not all salmons get up to the spawning grounds, you know.
Speaker 1: Some of them don't make it upstream, you know. But
Speaker 1: all of them, nearly all of them, except the ones
Speaker 1: that's killed by prey. When they're spawned, they go out
Speaker 1: to the ocean. That's cool, because you're going because you're
Speaker 1: going with the grain. You're going downstream, you're going with
Speaker 1: the flow. That's but when it's time to go against
Speaker 1: the grain, it's tough. And a lot of us have
Speaker 1: just been going against the grain for all of these years.
Speaker 1: But you know what, listen, man, I did it. I
Speaker 1: know a lot of people who did it. Very few
Speaker 1: people get it right from the very beginning. Man, you
Speaker 1: got to stumble through life sometimes sometimes you got to
Speaker 1: fall through life. You gotta make a lot of mistakes, man,
Speaker 1: But these mistakes are not failures. You know, when you
Speaker 1: fail at something, don't look at it as a failure.
Speaker 1: Don't look at yourself as a failure because you're thirty
Speaker 1: and and your goals ain't reach that you had on
Speaker 1: your list, that was your list. What about the things
Speaker 1: that's going right. Stop looking at what you're not, take
Speaker 1: some time out and thank God for what you are.
Speaker 1: How about the fact that you keep waking up to
Speaker 1: be thirty. You know you get the pressed about these birthdays.
Speaker 1: You really want to throw yourself in some depression. Miss
Speaker 1: a birthday, You really got a problem. Now look at
Speaker 1: where you are. You keep reaching birthdays. That's a glorious blessing.
Speaker 1: You keep waking up. You got your health, You've accomplished something.
Speaker 1: Something on your list is done. People spend too much
Speaker 1: time on the negative side, and you're just throwing yourself
Speaker 1: into depression. So what you wanted to be married by
Speaker 1: a certain age and you want it to have kids? Okay, cool,
Speaker 1: You could have done all that with the wrong person.
Speaker 1: There's a blessing in not being married to the wrong person.
Speaker 1: There's a blessing in not having kids and nobody to
Speaker 1: help you raise it. There's a blessing in that man.
Speaker 1: You're talking to somebody who can tell it to you.
Speaker 1: You can marry the wrong person if you want to.
Speaker 1: I'm telling you you're gonna be up in some mess
Speaker 1: you can't count on. So instead of being angry because
Speaker 1: you're not married, you don't have kids, why don't you
Speaker 1: thank God demand Maybe he spared you from some misery here.
Speaker 1: Maybe you could have married the wrong person. Maybe you
Speaker 1: have kids and you're not really ready to be a
Speaker 1: mother or a father. You gotta look at the upside, man,
Speaker 1: Quit looking at what you don't have. Take some time
Speaker 1: to thank God for what you do have. When you
Speaker 1: do that, you make more room for blessings to flow
Speaker 1: into your life. I'm not saying how God thinks, because
Speaker 1: I really don't know, but I'm telling you, if a
Speaker 1: person comes to me and I always give a person
Speaker 1: something and they never appear grateful, or they never say
Speaker 1: thank you, please, no, you can quit coming to me now.
Speaker 1: I don't know thats how God works because I've gone
Speaker 1: back to him several times without being grateful of thanking him,
Speaker 1: and he's feeling my basket up again. So I really
Speaker 1: think he's not like that. But I can't make the
Speaker 1: call for sure, but I think at one point in time, me,
Speaker 1: just just me talking, i'd be a little ticked off
Speaker 1: at somebody who was always taking, taking, taking, and never
Speaker 1: showing any gratitude. At one point in time, I would
Speaker 1: just stop the flow of the take. You know, you
Speaker 1: just you can't take no more from me. That's what
Speaker 1: I would. Now. I'm not calling it like that because
Speaker 1: I ain't him, but I know he's merciful. He's full
Speaker 1: of goodness and here and there, and he'll forgive you again.
Speaker 1: And thank God he does that because he's shown enough
Speaker 1: done it for me. But wow, man, take some time
Speaker 1: out today and be grateful for what you have. Stop
Speaker 1: complaining about where you're not, and think about where you are,
Speaker 1: and then take it from there. And then next time
Speaker 1: you make a list, make sure on that list you
Speaker 1: have God's will? What does he want for you? Does
Speaker 1: God create give everybody a gift and a talent. Some
Speaker 1: of us never apply gifts and talents. We head off
Speaker 1: in another direction. Then you wonder why your life ain't
Speaker 1: where its supposed to be. Have you ever thought about
Speaker 1: what God gifted you to do? Have you ever thought
Speaker 1: about doing that? And stip skip what you want? I
Speaker 1: wanted to play in the NBA, but I gotta tell
Speaker 1: you something. At dribbling and shooting and running all at
Speaker 1: one time, throwing me off a little bit. You know,
Speaker 1: it's so I'm doing what I do. It's pretty cool.
Speaker 1: You can look at it that way. Okay, you're listening show,
Speaker 1: ladies and gentlemen. It is here another great day. Oh man,
Speaker 1: thank you God, so appreciate it. I feel pretty good
Speaker 1: today too. Man. Celebrating life today, I'm celebrating life. And
Speaker 1: let me tell y'all something, No matter how it's going
Speaker 1: for you, can you understand the fact that at least
Speaker 1: it's going. Man, If you can wrap your mind around that,
Speaker 1: no matter how it's going for you, at least it
Speaker 1: is going. And know this, this too shall pass. Lord
Speaker 1: her Mercy, Oh that's good news, This too shall pass.
Speaker 1: Did you hear me? Do you hear me? Caller? Do
Speaker 1: you hear me? Sherlett? Do you stipp it? Do you
Speaker 1: hear me? Junior? Do you himmy thomma too shall pass? Man?
Speaker 1: Man o, man o, man junior? What's on your mind today? Man? Well,
Speaker 1: let me ask you this, unc man, Let me ask
Speaker 1: you how do you even know what you're tim And
Speaker 1: he is from God like people who are talking about
Speaker 1: I was supposed to be doing this. I'm supposed to
Speaker 1: be doing that. How do you know what your a
Speaker 1: sigm it is from God? Well, you have to listen. See,
Speaker 1: it's two things that I learned to do. I pray
Speaker 1: and I meditate. Now I learned the difference between those two.
Speaker 1: Praying is talking to God. Meditating is listening to God.
Speaker 1: Those two things are very important to come to terms with.
Speaker 1: Now Here is the one key element in listening to God.
Speaker 1: And I learned this from Bishop Kenneth Oma in Los Angeles.
Speaker 1: God's voice has no sin in it's it's sinless. God
Speaker 1: ain't told you to go down there and tell them off.
Speaker 1: God ain't told you to go over there and straighten
Speaker 1: them out. God ain't told you to go quit and
Speaker 1: lead him hanging. He didn't. He didn't do that. That
Speaker 1: That is not him. That's not his voice. His voice
Speaker 1: is peace. His voice is love. So when you are
Speaker 1: trying to determine your purpose, when you are trying to
Speaker 1: determine your mission in life, when you are listening, he
Speaker 1: will reveal to you the loving thing to do, the
Speaker 1: peaceful thing will do, the joyful thing to do, the
Speaker 1: giving thing to do. That's what he will reveal to you.
Speaker 1: Because all of your real purposes in life has something
Speaker 1: to do with giving. You are not here to take.
Speaker 1: You are here to give and to serve in some
Speaker 1: form of fashion. You ain't here to say on nothing.
Speaker 1: You are here to give and to serve in some
Speaker 1: form or fashion. We all have that cross put on
Speaker 1: us at one point in time. It usually starts with
Speaker 1: your family and then and then and then it can
Speaker 1: go from there or maybe that's your mission in life
Speaker 1: to be a servant to your family, provider, a leader, guide.
Speaker 1: But everything that has your purpose wrapped up into it
Speaker 1: has some giving to it, and it comes with the
Speaker 1: very high cost. And the thing that it's gonna cost
Speaker 1: you is you're going to have to give up something
Speaker 1: that you love dearly to perform the duty of your purpose.
Speaker 1: I just told myself something right there. All right, amen,
Speaker 1: word day, Yeah, all right. Coming up at thirty two

Speaker 1: the guy I had dinner with got mad. I didn't
Speaker 1: consider dinner as a date since I paid for my food.
Speaker 1: Was I wrong for leaving him at the table? Well?
Speaker 1: I mean, you know, that's just a sign. I don't
Speaker 1: know how being think now that you're not supposed to
Speaker 1: pay for the food, you know. And all you women
Speaker 1: that want to be uh you know or whatever independent
Speaker 1: and want to be all, you know, bosses, what do
Speaker 1: they call it? That's cool, you can be that. But
Speaker 1: I would want to know if a man was willing
Speaker 1: to do for me. I was wanting to know, and
Speaker 1: you should expect that. And then if he doesn't pay
Speaker 1: for your bill like you did, ain't gonna do like
Speaker 1: you want to do because he ain't the one he
Speaker 1: asked for. Separate check you can how the dude is
Speaker 1: this man? A woman's time is value? What about my time?
Speaker 1: Oh dog? You pass it out of their chance? You
Speaker 1: get get up. She met him online and she just

Speaker 1: you ain't going to say, this relationship ain't going nowhere? Right?
Speaker 1: What else he want for free? And he got mad
Speaker 1: because she left? Yeah, she got mad because he left.
Speaker 1: And then somebody else bought her a drink because at
Speaker 1: the bar he know what he got to do. That's right, Yeah,
Speaker 1: all right, you did the right thing. Last one, Steve,
Speaker 1: last one Deja and Baton Rouge says, I graduated from
Speaker 1: college a year ago and I have a decent job
Speaker 1: and an apartment. I am four months pregnant and when
Speaker 1: I told my parents, they insisted that I moved back
Speaker 1: home and dump my boyfriend. Will my parents resent me
Speaker 1: if I don't do that? Well, I don't know if
Speaker 1: you understand the difficulty that's coming your way, And I
Speaker 1: think your parents do, and they realize you're gonna have
Speaker 1: to have help and your boyfriend ain't gonna make a commitment.
Speaker 1: That's obvious. And your parents are just being parents because
Speaker 1: they know the road ahead for you. It's going to
Speaker 1: be difficult. And if you live at home, you'll have
Speaker 1: some help with the baby, yeah, you know. And if
Speaker 1: you stay over there by yourself, it's gonna be hard
Speaker 1: because he's not gonna help because if he was already
Speaker 1: doing that already, right, he's not gonna help you. And
Speaker 1: and it don't make him a bad He don't know
Speaker 1: what to do. Yeah, yeah, they're young. They're young. He
Speaker 1: doesn't know your parents know that. So you're telling her
Speaker 1: to listen to her parents and go ahead and move back.
Speaker 1: And well, are they gonna be resentful? Yeah? But I
Speaker 1: think you are too, though. And I understand you got
Speaker 1: a good job and you graduated in everything, but you know,
Speaker 1: I don't think you understand what this pregnancy is now.
Speaker 1: You can't know until you have the baby. And I've
Speaker 1: heard women say that all the time, you can't know
Speaker 1: what this is until that baby get hit. Ye, no idea,
Speaker 1: because I didn't know what it was to mind got hire.
Speaker 1: I wanted all the mind to go back, you know,
Speaker 1: instructions to go back, and our parents didn't have instructions
Speaker 1: ready for none of it. Some work. Yeah, so she
Speaker 1: doesn't want her parents to resent her, but they're actually
Speaker 1: trying if she you know, she doesn't move back home.

Speaker 1: teachers count or he need a need to play. He
Speaker 1: need alright, he need all right, coming up with twenty
Speaker 1: minutes after the hour, we'll have more. You're listening to
Speaker 1: morning show. All right, it is time now for tell
Speaker 1: me something good. Here's some good news. Music producer Metro
Speaker 1: Booming uh huh partnered with the Stephen Marjorie Harvey Foundation
Speaker 1: UH to spotlight single moms. Metro purchased tickets for twenty
Speaker 1: six single moms along with their children to attend the
Speaker 1: Atlanta thousands in Pittsburgh Steelers game. However, TMZ reports that
Speaker 1: Metro himself chose not to attend so the mothers would
Speaker 1: be the focus of the event. The Mom's rock. Single
Speaker 1: moms are the real superheroes. T shirts the Single Mothers
Speaker 1: or Heroes initiative is a meaningful way for Metro to
Speaker 1: give back to the community. It's also a way for
Speaker 1: him to honor his late months, So Steve, the question
Speaker 1: is why is it so important for your foundation to
Speaker 1: partner with people wanting to make a difference in the community. Well,
Speaker 1: I mean, our focus has always been single mothers, because
Speaker 1: that's how I started my foundation off to help single
Speaker 1: mothers who were raising boys by the self. That was
Speaker 1: the core of it. Marjorie got on board and created
Speaker 1: the Girls Program, which is quite different. You don't have
Speaker 1: to be from single parent homes, none of that. Margie
Speaker 1: just takes girls from all different walks of life and
Speaker 1: change their lives. And we look for partnerships of people
Speaker 1: who share the same values that we do and have
Speaker 1: some of the same concerns because if my foundation can
Speaker 1: chip in some money, you know, to help help make
Speaker 1: some things happen. Like Metro got in there, man, great great,
Speaker 1: great great brother you know, and wanted to do this
Speaker 1: for single mothers. And then we find out about it
Speaker 1: and say, hey, man, well we got a group over here.
Speaker 1: Can we help and join in and then we form
Speaker 1: these partnerships. It takes a village, you know. It's it's hard.
Speaker 1: And you know I said this before because you know,
Speaker 1: as I try to fund raise for this ranch that
Speaker 1: I bought for these kids, it's hard because when you're
Speaker 1: well off and you start soliciting funds. Everybody want to go,
Speaker 1: wouldn't you just do it yourself? Well, that's that's crazy,
Speaker 1: because you know, I don't. I don't know how much
Speaker 1: money you think everybody got, but there's an illusion to
Speaker 1: how much money people really have. And I don't know
Speaker 1: nobody that can just go do anything they want to do.
Speaker 1: I don't have that kind of money. There are people
Speaker 1: who do, but then you got to look at what
Speaker 1: they doing, Like the Bill Gates Foundation could come in
Speaker 1: there and do the whole thing, but then they're doing
Speaker 1: hundreds of millions of dollars around the world for stuff.
Speaker 1: So yes, So we always look for partnerships to keep
Speaker 1: the thing going, you know, because it's very hard to
Speaker 1: solicit funds when you well off, because everybody think, will
Speaker 1: don't you just do it? Well, they have no idea
Speaker 1: what you've already done and what you up against even
Speaker 1: make the thing run. So we look for partnerships and
Speaker 1: guys like Metell great people to partner with. You know.
Speaker 1: We have several partnerships, you know, and sometimes we partner
Speaker 1: with people because we just help them with our money
Speaker 1: to move they calls along. We're about the uplifted edification
Speaker 1: of people. So, Steve, you've heard, why is he asking
Speaker 1: us for money? He got money? You've heard, and I
Speaker 1: hit it. I hit that all the time. If look,
Speaker 1: if I had all the money, I just do it.
Speaker 1: I don't. That's just the reality of it. I'm sorry,
Speaker 1: I don't. You know? All right? Coming up at thirty
Speaker 1: four minutes after the hour, we'll check Steve's voicemail at
Speaker 1: eight seven seven twenty nine, Steve. Right after this, you're
Speaker 1: listening Steve Harvey Morning Show. It is time now to
Speaker 1: check Steve's voicemail and listen. If you want to leave
Speaker 1: Steve a message, call him eight seven seven twenty nine,
Speaker 1: Steve eight seven seven twenty nine, Steve, you might just
Speaker 1: hear your call on the air, uh, Steve. This caller
Speaker 1: left to comment about the Strawberry letter the other day,
Speaker 1: the subject my husband's assistant is very helpful. This letter
Speaker 1: was about the married couple who were small business owners.
Speaker 1: The wife used to help out and do payrolls. Yeah,
Speaker 1: but it can't, you remember, but it can't. It came
Speaker 1: too much for her, so they hired an assistant. The
Speaker 1: assistant had the big legs and from the video interview,
Speaker 1: she appear plaine and thin. But it turns out yep,
Speaker 1: she had those big legs and eyelashes, and she and
Speaker 1: her husband are eating lunch together, et cetera, et cetera.
Speaker 1: So take a list and take a listen to this book.
Speaker 1: I want to comment on the Strawberry letter. I feel
Speaker 1: like the White Trust everybody could each other us jus
Speaker 1: c are not? You know you can't control a man
Speaker 1: must and over a woman. It's Nature's natural. When you
Speaker 1: go outside DC all kind of giveful woman that eating
Speaker 1: a must over again, it's nature, it's natural. But when
Speaker 1: you come from my home inside my key, I don't
Speaker 1: want no woman with no big legs up in my
Speaker 1: home and my husband lusting over her. This is my
Speaker 1: home where my fifa that she needs to go. Yeah,
Speaker 1: I agree with you, but that ain't what's happening. Though
Speaker 1: she hired and and and and she down at the office.
Speaker 1: I'm sister, I ain't mad at you. I agree what
Speaker 1: you said. You got every right to feel what you
Speaker 1: want to feel. I have no disagreement what you're saying
Speaker 1: at all. You have every right to problem is he
Speaker 1: didn't hide the girl. Now, I think you should not
Speaker 1: discriminate about hiring women because it got big legs. That's wrong.
Speaker 1: That's what you're not fitting to do is get me
Speaker 1: on that I didn't hire her because she got big legs.
Speaker 1: You can't discriminate and gives big leg women with pretty eyelashes.
Speaker 1: I can't stand all right, this collar just has love
Speaker 1: for Steve Love. Good morning, Martine, and I listened to
Speaker 1: the show every mor and y'all make my days. I
Speaker 1: have bad days and turn on my radio and niffany, y'all,
Speaker 1: I'll heat the work. Everything just so better. You thought inspiration.

Speaker 1: you do. And I'm glad saying I'm glad, thank you.
Speaker 1: I'm glad. I'm glad about thank you. Appreciate that. What
Speaker 1: else you got? All right? Last color, uh see this
Speaker 1: color is upset about some remarks you made about Kanye. Yes,
Speaker 1: I was just listening to your show this morning. I
Speaker 1: think it's really appalling that you guys call or would
Speaker 1: consider a certified mental person stupid. Um. And I'm taking
Speaker 1: up Kanye West, um, just to throw him under a
Speaker 1: bus for a white bits basically the road every black
Speaker 1: in America. UM. And I think it's really a well.
Speaker 1: First of all, you don't know he certified nothing, So
Speaker 1: you know, I ain't making no cause on it, you
Speaker 1: know what? And here's what I get tired of, you know,
Speaker 1: like right now, mental issue is a real issue around
Speaker 1: this country, but not everybody. Every time somebody do something ignorant.
Speaker 1: Every time somebody do something a paul, I don't know
Speaker 1: what mental issue? Uh well, I don't know what mental
Speaker 1: health has to do with you think a slavery was
Speaker 1: an option? I don't think what you know? You wearing
Speaker 1: a mega hat? I don't. I don't think you know
Speaker 1: you wearing a T shirt say white Lives matter. I
Speaker 1: don't know why you would go out and have discussed
Speaker 1: the Holocaust. I don't know why Hitler would be your
Speaker 1: favorite person. I don't. I don't know why. But that
Speaker 1: don't sound like mental illness to me. And I'm not
Speaker 1: messing the judgment about people who have mental illness, cause
Speaker 1: it's real. But I don't set up here. You know
Speaker 1: it kills me a wait minute, now, is he not
Speaker 1: the same person who is a self proclaimed genius? Now?
Speaker 1: To me, it's just me talking. I find it hard
Speaker 1: to be a genius and keep doing stupid stuff now don't.
Speaker 1: I don't know. That's just me. I just have to
Speaker 1: struggled with that one right there. That's all I got
Speaker 1: to say about it. Appreciate you calling, ma'am. I'm not
Speaker 1: making a statement against mental illness, but you have no
Speaker 1: right to certify him mentally ill, no more than I do.
Speaker 1: But I do no stupid when I hid though. All right,

Speaker 1: hold on tight. It's time for to Strawberry Little my
Speaker 1: friend Shirley Strawberry, thank you, my friend Junior. Subject what
Speaker 1: happened his ex wife got a real Christmas tree is
Speaker 1: the subject of this letter for today. Dear Stephen Shirley,
Speaker 1: I'm on my second marriage and there's an issue in
Speaker 1: my marriage. My husband was married for eighteen years and
Speaker 1: he's got two daughters and joint custody of them. I
Speaker 1: have a daughter that lives with us. We've blended the
Speaker 1: family nicely, and his daughters was sweet to my daughter,
Speaker 1: but they like to remind her that their father is
Speaker 1: not her father. My husband is not good at setting
Speaker 1: boundaries for his ex wife. When we started dating, he
Speaker 1: let me know that he and his are friends and
Speaker 1: whatever he does for her is for his daughters. I
Speaker 1: can accept that, but when it gets to be too much,
Speaker 1: I step in to help him set boundaries. The other day,
Speaker 1: he told me that since his ex wife and the
Speaker 1: girls moved into a new house, he wanted to buy
Speaker 1: his daughters a nice Christmas tree. I was against it,
Speaker 1: but then I realized his daughter's feelings. Ben I considered
Speaker 1: his daughter's feelings and I agreed to it. We got
Speaker 1: a little seven foot artificial tree out of the storage room,
Speaker 1: and I went and bought new ornaments. Saturday, he told
Speaker 1: me he was picking up his daughters to get a tree,
Speaker 1: and he took my daughter with them. I wasn't invited.
Speaker 1: Two hours after they left, my daughter posted a video
Speaker 1: in her Instagram story and they were shopping for a
Speaker 1: real tree. They picked a giant, beautiful, real, fluffy tree.
Speaker 1: I had assumed they would go to Walmart and buy
Speaker 1: an artificial tree. My daughter said they took the tree
Speaker 1: to his ex wife hows and he set it up
Speaker 1: for them. He set it up for them and they
Speaker 1: decorated it together. I was crushed because I decorated our
Speaker 1: fake tree alone while they were gone. My husband always
Speaker 1: justifies things by saying that his daughters shouldn't suffer because
Speaker 1: he left their mother. Does he do it out of guilt?
Speaker 1: Will his ex wife be forever a part of our family? Well? Yeah,
Speaker 1: in a sense. She may not be a part of
Speaker 1: your family, okay, but she is a mother of your
Speaker 1: husband's daughters, and those are your stepdaughters. So the x
Speaker 1: will always be in your life somehow, Okay, as long
Speaker 1: as you know she's got the daughters in everything, you know,
Speaker 1: My issue is with you though, really, I mean, this
Speaker 1: is kind of petty. You're worried about a Christmas tree here.
Speaker 1: I think you're saying it's about that, but what it
Speaker 1: really is is that you don't want your man over there,
Speaker 1: and you don't want him over there doing stuff for
Speaker 1: them like putting up the tree. As a family. I
Speaker 1: think you're jealous where this is concerned, But I'm telling
Speaker 1: you don't be insecure. Because he still wants to spend
Speaker 1: time with his daughters. That means he's a good dad. Okay,
Speaker 1: He's right. He left their mom, not his kids, so
Speaker 1: he wants to continue to show up in their life
Speaker 1: for them as their father. He and the ex don't
Speaker 1: have anything going on. I mean, if you guys can't
Speaker 1: afford it, why don't you You know, if there's something
Speaker 1: wrong with your tree, why don't you and your husband
Speaker 1: and the girls go out and get a tree. You
Speaker 1: didn't have to stay there and decorate the tree by yourself.
Speaker 1: You could have waited until they came home and you
Speaker 1: guys could have done it together. You know, he just
Speaker 1: went with the girls to get a new tree. You
Speaker 1: need to talk to him if you have a problem
Speaker 1: with how he's moving right now, but he sounds like
Speaker 1: a father who's just trying to do the right thing
Speaker 1: to me. As crazy as that all seems, it sounds. Yeah,
Speaker 1: I don't have a problem with this, Steve. Well, it's
Speaker 1: a twofold situation. In my eyes. He's being a good
Speaker 1: dad and he's being punished for that. But he's doing it,
Speaker 1: and he's making a couple of mistakes the way he's
Speaker 1: doing it. You know, first of all, when y'all this
Speaker 1: is both of y'all second marriage, he set this whole
Speaker 1: thing up by telling you that, you know, look, well,
Speaker 1: I'm gonna do stuff with a daughter, and I'm gonna
Speaker 1: do stuff for my daughter, and I'm gonna do stuff
Speaker 1: for her, but the reason I'm doing it for her
Speaker 1: is for my daughter. He said all of this up
Speaker 1: with you in the beginning because he's active in that
Speaker 1: life as he should be. Now you all say, you
Speaker 1: all have blended the family together nicely, But the daughters
Speaker 1: are sweet to your daughter, but they always remind her
Speaker 1: that ain't your daddy. They do that. Kids gonna be kids.
Speaker 1: They're gonna jockey for a position. Husband is not good
Speaker 1: with setting boundaries for his ex wife and his ex
Speaker 1: wife is flexing because she has two kids with him,
Speaker 1: and she's taking advantage of it. Now, let's get to
Speaker 1: the whole thing about what this letter is about. His
Speaker 1: ex got a real Christmas tree. First of all, when
Speaker 1: he picked up the daughter, when he picked up his
Speaker 1: two daughters, and he took your daughter. He took your daughter,
Speaker 1: which is his daughter, which is to with his biological daughters,
Speaker 1: because he wanted to get them a tree because they
Speaker 1: had moved into a new house. Well, now he's the
Speaker 1: problem you made, dog when you took your daughter from
Speaker 1: your new wife with you, and she posted it on
Speaker 1: a story. So I'm assuming that these much these might
Speaker 1: be teenage if they can post on stories and stuff.
Speaker 1: Wait a minute, what did you say? Wait, say that
Speaker 1: one more time, Steve, about the daughters. What just I
Speaker 1: just wanted you to say that one more time? What
Speaker 1: you said about the daughters. He has two daughters with
Speaker 1: his ex. He has two daughters with his ex, and
Speaker 1: then the wife had a daughter. The new wife has
Speaker 1: a second wife has a daughter. Okay, well see that's
Speaker 1: his daughter. Oh he has three daughters. Now, yeah, right,
Speaker 1: separate them. If you separate them, they will help you
Speaker 1: separate that. Yeah, Yeah, that's what the deal is. When
Speaker 1: I come back, I'm gonna tell you the mistake he's
Speaker 1: making with them. He's a great dad, but he's making
Speaker 1: all right. We'll have part two of Steve's response coming
Speaker 1: up at twenty three minutes after the hour. Today's Strawberry
Speaker 1: Letters subject is his ex wife got a real Christmas tree.
Speaker 1: We'll get back into it right after this. You're listening,
Speaker 1: all right, Steve, Come on, let's recap today Strawberry letter.
Speaker 1: The subject his ex wife got a real Christmas tree. Okay,
Speaker 1: So on the break, I read this letter again. This marriage.
Speaker 1: This man was married to this woman for eighteen years
Speaker 1: and they got two daughters. His ex wife were married
Speaker 1: eighteen years and they got two daughters. So I'm going
Speaker 1: to assume that these two daughters a teenager because they
Speaker 1: got an Instagram and they posted story. She the woman
Speaker 1: he's married to now, who's writing this letter, she has
Speaker 1: a daughter from her previous marriage. I don't know how
Speaker 1: old she is. But they treat her nicely, but they
Speaker 1: do remind her that he's not your real daddy. That's
Speaker 1: our real daddy. But they treated nicely. And you all
Speaker 1: have blended and they're sweet to the girl. Okay, cool,
Speaker 1: So we got that out the way. Now the man
Speaker 1: set this up by telling you, listen, I'm gonna do
Speaker 1: some things for my wife, my ex wife, because we're friends.
Speaker 1: But everything I do for is because of the daughter.
Speaker 1: You're okay with that. Now let's get to what the
Speaker 1: problem is. It's a Christmas tree. He the ex wife
Speaker 1: and the two daughters that moved into a new house.
Speaker 1: He wants to get them a nice tree for their
Speaker 1: house for Christmas. Okay, So he takes your daughter, which
Speaker 1: is his daughter from this marriage, Christmas tree shopping with
Speaker 1: his daughters from his previous marriage, and he goes and
Speaker 1: buys them a real Christmas tree, big old fluffy tree.
Speaker 1: You then went to the storage room and went out
Speaker 1: and got that little ragged ass see his tree. See
Speaker 1: the box that's in the box you've been putting up
Speaker 1: for years. And so now you bought some ornaments for
Speaker 1: the treat, some new ornaments. They went tree shopping. You
Speaker 1: look on the Instagram you're daughter and posted they bought
Speaker 1: a tree. They take the tree to his ex wife's
Speaker 1: house where his daughters live. They set the tree up
Speaker 1: and they all decorated. Now you said earlier they went
Speaker 1: Christmas tree shopping and you weren't invited. Okay, it was
Speaker 1: just him and the girls. So that's cool because the
Speaker 1: tree is for the girls. But it's at the ex
Speaker 1: wife's house. I mean that's where the Yeah, so in
Speaker 1: a way, this would be cool. Here's the mistake he's made.
Speaker 1: You've gotten to not make them kids feel and see
Speaker 1: a difference. You've got to go above and beyond in
Speaker 1: treating them the same and eat This is not your stepdaughter,
Speaker 1: this is your daughter. If if the daughters get a
Speaker 1: real tree, everybody get a real tree. Yeah. See, he
Speaker 1: should have bought two real trees. What he should have
Speaker 1: because you can't make the quote unquote step daughter feel
Speaker 1: step See. The reason we never used the word step
Speaker 1: in our family was because when you say step child,
Speaker 1: it's usually like a step down, and it's like a
Speaker 1: step down from the level that the regular children. And
Speaker 1: that's why we never used that term. So now, but
Speaker 1: you can't let him see or feel a difference. Now,
Speaker 1: if his daughter's got a big fluffy Christmas tree, he
Speaker 1: should have got a big Christmas tree at his house too.
Speaker 1: That's the mistake, key man. Yes, that would that that
Speaker 1: would have cleaned this whole thing up. And bro, that's
Speaker 1: all you got to do. Everybody got to get equal
Speaker 1: and light treat the period. And you can't have your
Speaker 1: new wife feeling some kind of way because you're doing
Speaker 1: all this extra stuff for your ex wife, because that's
Speaker 1: how she's looking at that too. Oh she got a
Speaker 1: treat and y'all all decorated tree together. I didn't know
Speaker 1: you was gonna go over there and put it up
Speaker 1: and decorated together. I wanted to surprise y'all when you
Speaker 1: came home. Y'all come home late. I wouldn't decorated the
Speaker 1: tree by myself, and y'all ass was over there having
Speaker 1: family time. Right, You see why she said. When you
Speaker 1: see now, she's gonna be upset about that dog. And
Speaker 1: this is your fault because you gotta do everything equal.
Speaker 1: If you're over there having hot chocolate, you got to
Speaker 1: come home have hot chocolate. You don't bought the Voca
Speaker 1: pound cake from Nemon Marcus over there. You got to
Speaker 1: come in your house with the Vaca pound cake. Okay,
Speaker 1: you don't see. That's what you gotta do now, Bro,
Speaker 1: that's the mistake you make, and you've got to set
Speaker 1: your husband down and say, hey, listen, we can't feel
Speaker 1: like with second class citizens when it comes to special evince,
Speaker 1: while your ex and your biological children get all the perks.
Speaker 1: So I think that's unfair. So you can do whatever
Speaker 1: you want to do for them. I'm not stopping you,
Speaker 1: but you needed to start doing the same thing over here.
Speaker 1: See that real big fluffy treat that was beautiful, but
Speaker 1: that would look good in this house too. Yeah, they
Speaker 1: should go get one, see because they had a new house.
Speaker 1: He feels like they should get a new treat. Well, well, well,
Speaker 1: and you got to get to everybody else a new
Speaker 1: tree dog. Someday a thought came to my head because
Speaker 1: a lot of mothers have mom guilt? Do dads have
Speaker 1: dad guilt as well? Is that what he's dealing with?
Speaker 1: Dad guilt as well? Yeah, because he said in the
Speaker 1: letter they can't pay because I left their mother right right,
Speaker 1: and left their mother, not them m see. But then
Speaker 1: also now you gotta be careful of the Disney dad
Speaker 1: syndrome too, Yeah, exactly. See, when you do see the kids,
Speaker 1: you can't be Disney Dad. And then all of a sudden,
Speaker 1: when you go home to your family, ain't no Disney, right,
Speaker 1: it's just the old tree. Oh man, you got Disney
Speaker 1: Dad mowed all the way around board. Bro. All right,
Speaker 1: post your I'm in some Today's Strawberry Letter at Steve
Speaker 1: RVFM on Instagram and Facebook, and check out the Strawberry
Speaker 1: Letter podcasts. John Demand now coming up at forty six
Speaker 1: minutes after the hour, we got Junior with Sports Talk

Speaker 1: Sports Talk with Junior, which you got Junior. Okay, Shirley,
Speaker 1: for the last time it hit the barbershops. This is
Speaker 1: one of the hottest topics that's going on, and I
Speaker 1: just want to make sure we clear on this show
Speaker 1: how we feel. But they're now saying that Dion Sanders
Speaker 1: is a sellout, and I can't let that ride like that.
Speaker 1: They are really upset. Tobody. He never understood HBCUs and
Speaker 1: he never cared about HBCUs because if he did, he
Speaker 1: never would have left. That is the issue they're having
Speaker 1: because you can you say if he said in his
Speaker 1: interview when he first got the job that HBCUs HBCUs
Speaker 1: were great places to play football, and then he takes
Speaker 1: a job at Colorado, he's still not for HBCUs. Let's
Speaker 1: just quit saying this. This is this is crazy. He's
Speaker 1: not a sellout for one to better his family. I
Speaker 1: don't understand how people are mad about Dion saying is
Speaker 1: taking this job in Colorado. That is not the issue.
Speaker 1: The man did everything he could to put the spotlight
Speaker 1: on HBCU, but he just won. Man, Can anybody tell
Speaker 1: me who the coach was before Dan Stands at Jackson State?
Speaker 1: Other people at Jackson State, anybody, I'm waiting anybody, come on,
Speaker 1: So y'all gotta have a name. Why y'all mad at Dion?
Speaker 1: Are all of the other great NFL players that could
Speaker 1: go to HBCUs and pick up some of these jobs.
Speaker 1: Eddie George did it, you know, the greatest coach of
Speaker 1: all time, coach Eddie Robinson at Grammer spent his entire
Speaker 1: coaching career that. But that was his calling. That's not
Speaker 1: Deon's calling. See, y'all want people to be what you
Speaker 1: want to fit into your par You don't know what
Speaker 1: Dion is called to do. Deon didn't say he was
Speaker 1: gonna be a Jackson State forever, nor should he a season?
Speaker 1: And y'all talking about here sellout y'all miss me that
Speaker 1: every last one of y'all would have took five million
Speaker 1: dollars versus three hundred thousand dollars. Steve Harvey, You're never

Speaker 1: the good news is Britney Griner is now in the

Speaker 1: because she had a nine years sentence over there. Nine years. Yeah, yeah,
Speaker 1: isn't it a blessing seas Chris, really really excessive sentencing
Speaker 1: for that, But they were trying to prove a point.
Speaker 1: But also there's a lesson to be learned from all
Speaker 1: of us. When we're traveling, pay very very close attention
Speaker 1: to what you have because, jess, cause it's legal over here.
Speaker 1: They they got some rules overseas man. Yeah, yeah, so
Speaker 1: we have to be very very conscious when traveling. She
Speaker 1: had been detained since February, when she was arrested on
Speaker 1: drug smuggling charges at an airport in the Moscow region,
Speaker 1: despite her testimony that she had inadvertently packed the cannabis
Speaker 1: oil found in her luggage. She was sentenced, like we said,
Speaker 1: to nine years in prison. That was in early August.
Speaker 1: She was moved to a penal colony uh in Russia.

Speaker 1: US American officials. And we're just happy. This is right
Speaker 1: before Christmas, right before Christmas. Has been there since February. Greatness,
Speaker 1: its great news. Yeah yeah, yeah. She played for years
Speaker 1: in the offseason for a Russian women's basketball team. Yeah,
Speaker 1: anybody doing that. I believe I ain't going back over
Speaker 1: there ever. Ever. Ever, Russian team will get ready to
Speaker 1: lose because she ain't coming back. No. Yeah, ever, And
Speaker 1: and hats off to the you know, the president, the administration. Y, Yes,
Speaker 1: state officials, the State Department. They didn't give up. Now
Speaker 1: you do know, you do know what they're going to
Speaker 1: backtrack on all of this. And you know, Fox, it's
Speaker 1: going in exchange for this arms dealer murder. Yeah, you're right,
Speaker 1: we don't care, we don't care what. Yeah, but you're
Speaker 1: right that's going to be an issue, you know, especially
Speaker 1: if he decides to run in twenty twenty or all
Speaker 1: of that. You know, you're absolutely right about that. Yeah.
Speaker 1: But he did the right thing. The President did the
Speaker 1: right thing in this situation and brought home I mean,
Speaker 1: you know, when you think about it, he's really been
Speaker 1: a champion for black women. I mean, we have the
Speaker 1: first black UH Vice president, female, the first black United
Speaker 1: States Supreme Court justice. Now he's doing this for Brittany Grimes.
Speaker 1: You know, I'm gonna tell you something else too, And
Speaker 1: how really important this Warnock decision was. It gave him
Speaker 1: complete control of the Senate without need from tiebreaker and
Speaker 1: all like that. Now, of course, you got Joe Manchin,
Speaker 1: you had to contend with him and that, uh, that
Speaker 1: one one other some lady. That's Democrats. But what this
Speaker 1: does is this sets him up. He may run again. Yeah.
Speaker 1: I think he may run again. Yeah, because if he
Speaker 1: does it, run who do we have? That's right? All right,
Speaker 1: great news, Britney Grinder has been released, and we'll be
Speaker 1: back with more of the Steve Harvey Morning Show right
Speaker 1: after this. You're listening to the Steven Show. A jury
Speaker 1: in New York has found the Trump Organization guilty on
Speaker 1: seventeen counts. I said, seventeen counts of tax fraud and
Speaker 1: investigation of business practices over fifteen years turned up multiple
Speaker 1: instances of the company offering employees perks such as free
Speaker 1: cars and free apartments to avoid paying them taxable income.
Speaker 1: CFO Alan Weisselberg, who had already pleaded guilty to fifteen counts,
Speaker 1: was the prosecutor's star witness. Prosecution star witness. Lawyers for
Speaker 1: the defense argued that he had acted on his own
Speaker 1: and that the company was otherwise uninvolved in the scheme.
Speaker 1: The company faces finds of up to one point six
Speaker 1: million dollars in sentencing. Donald Trump was not named as
Speaker 1: a defendant in the suit, so he's not personally liable
Speaker 1: and they say they will appeal. Oh you're in trouble,
Speaker 1: but but see but see listen, this is why he
Speaker 1: doesn't want these tax forms showing up what the Chris
Speaker 1: Leaves were found guilty of exacting, Donald Trump is doing.
Speaker 1: It's the exact same thing. He's borrowing money using it
Speaker 1: for his lifestyle. And since borrowed money is not taxable income.
Speaker 1: But if you're using it for your lifestyle, and that's
Speaker 1: tax evasion. So if you take money and you buy
Speaker 1: a car with it at an apartment and you borrow
Speaker 1: the money to do that, that's not taxable income because
Speaker 1: you borrow money. All right, all right, coming up at
Speaker 1: thirty three minutes after, we'll play a round of would
