Today's show is pre recorded. Y'all know what time. I don't know. Y'all have a sun giving them like a million bucks things and the subs not good. Steve together, Please, I don't join jo. You gotta use that turn, hur you gotta turn to turn them out. You got to turn them out to turn the water the water go. Come come on your baby now. Uh huh, I show well a good morning everybody. You're listening to the voice, come on dig me now, one and only Steve Harvey got a radio show. Man, If if I had time enough to tell the whole trip, the whole journey, and y'all would be sitting up in there going okay to Steve, are we gonna play the show this week? But man, it's been a lot of amazing things has happened to me over the years, and not all of them good. It's been some amazingly bad things that have happened too. But I just come on in the morning as a reminder to everybody of the actual goodness of God, that you know, man, that these mistakes that you're making, that these setbacks that you keep having, that these falls that keep occurring in your life, that they all are leading you somewhere. If you just don't ever give up. That's the key. You can never ever give up because you don't know how the trip has been laid out for you. You know, if somebody had told me years ago when I had the dream of being on TV and then I thought about being one of one of the best comedians I could be. You know, when I when I started, if somebody had told me everything that was gonna have to happen in order for me to get there, I would have changed it. I would have I would have said, Okay, well I ain't gonna be that. How about this? See and no one can know all of the events of their life ahead of time. You know, it would be so nice, wouldn't it. You know, to prepare for it, see it coming, be aware of the haters, always knowing when the backstabbing moment is coming in your life, always knowing when you're gonna get blindsided by the enemy. We are really great to know that, wouldn't it. Well, that's not how it works. So since no one knows exactly the challenges and the pitfalls and the detools that's going to be set them, it's it's it's imperative that you just don't give up because see, knowing these things, we as human beings by nature, would choose another route. But it ain't the route God God for you, though. See the route God God for you. If you if you're trying to do the right thing, if you're doing the best you can, if you ain't out here just intentionally just messing over, folks, if you're using faith and that's the belief in things that you cannot see. If you have something on the inside of you to keep saying there's got to be more to life than that, then that's that's you. You, my friend, have a great chance. Hell, and if you've ever had that feeling then gave up on it, just get it back, Just ask for it back, Just say, hey, man, I'm getting back to the way I used to be because there's a change that's available in your life. But you gotta take it. You gotta take a shot at it. Folks. There's a chance for you to get it right, but you gotta take a shot at it. Folks. There's a chance for you to turn this whole thing around with God's help, but you gotta take a shot at it. You See, this decision is yours. The decision to lay down and give up. That's yours, it ain't. It just got too hard for me. Life too much, man, life hard and too much for everybody. What I gotta get you to see? My father used to always tell me, it says son, best lessons in life to burn your value and learn the most is a bout lesson. I didn't quite understand that being young, but I show got it now. Ain't no lesson like a bout lesson, the one you pay for. Those are the ones that hold to you, that stick to you, that that start turning you into who you're gonna be. Those are the character builders. See, you got to be forged to get to where you want to go in life. So that's what the challenges and missteps is for. That's what the failing is about. Now. I know you don't like it. I didn't. I know you're not comfortable without I wouldn't. I know you wish it was over sooner than later. I always do. I always wanted to be over sooner than later because the later manager seems like it's so much I gotta go through. But let me tell you something, man, if you can, if you can forge your way through it and understand that you are forged in life. I don't know. I was on TBN one time when I was doing one of my motivational speeches, and I began to wonder about this experience I had. It Ford Motor Company and my last job after the auto industry starts going down, my last job was in the fountry and my job was to stand at the end almost where the engines first come out of the furnace. See, the engines are poured into a mold. It's hot, melted down metal whatever they call it, lava or whatever. They poured into a mole and it goes into this furnace that's extremely hot. And my job was after the heat was applied to the engine block, it would come through and it would go through a hardening stage. But the way it was hardening, they would cool it. Suddenly they would flush it with water. It was just blast water on it. But the fire and the high temperature is what made the engine block solidified. It's because it's gotta get real hot, getting melted down first. Then it's got to get poured into a mole. Then it's gotta be pressure hit with water and all of this, and then it could and it's real hot. Now it's still hot even on this water been shutter. But when it comes out the end of the side, there's a lot of flashing in it. And flashing is a metal from that didn't dripped through the cast molding on it, just like flecks of extra pieces of metal. My job was to hit this engine block in the front, which is huge, heavy rubber mallet, knock all the flashing off the front, and when it came around back to bam, hit it real hard again on the backside. And that became the core of what the car is. A car without a great engine is nothing. It's just a pretty looking vehicle over there. But if it can't do what it was made to do because the engine block then cracked. So you can have a car look real good, but if it freezes an engine block crack your car, you can it's over man. You gotta get a new block. The block is the core. But in order for you for the car to do it, it's got to do it's got to have a strong engine in it. In order for the engine to be strong, it's got to be forged and steell, come through fire, get poured in a mole, cooled off, heated, knocked around, beat on the front end, beat on the back end. In order for it to be what it's gonna be. The maul of the story, folks, is you got to get forged in fire to be what you gonna be. You got to get beat up, you got to get pressure washed, you got to have heat on you. You gotta get melted down, you gotta get poured into a mole. That's how you become who you are. So the tough things that you're going through, the difficult challenges and the setbacks. I know a brother who went to prison, man, And the whole reason he ended up going to prison because he was looking out the loot window, looking out in the yard at him working out. And then the next thing, you know, man, this brother decided that he was gonna go out there and work out. Well, guess what, he's one of the top trainers in country. Today. You're listening morning, ladies and gentlemen, let me have your attention please. This is the funniest morning show in the world when the right people are telling the jokes. Steve Harvey, Morley Show, Sherley Strawberry and who might that be Steve, Well, good morning, Colin Farrell, Hey, what's up? Jump Tellers? Hello? That that dog Gold Junior Morning?

And then I think the Texas had just lost Thursday, the Astros lost, and then the damn Rockets lost. I said, man, let me stop now. I did not expect the Browns to beat Baltimore yesterday. That's a little bit too hopeful. And it was one of my long time like friends recalled O Prue's birthday on Sunday the thirteenth, and he was hoping that the Browns would beat Baltimore for his birthday gift. And I said, look, man, just be grateful to the Lord that you've lived sixty four years. Don't worry about that as a birthday gift. A week gon happen.

Right after this, you're listening Steve Harvey Morning Show and the Entertainment News Today, September fourteenth, starts a brand new season of Steve Facebook TV show. It's called Steve on Watch. We See You Again? So so yeah, season two? Right, so, Steve, you did an interview with Entertainment Tonight's host Kevin Frasier about the new season of Steve on Watch. Now this time around, you're taping it from your home. Take a listen. His new show was in the middle of its first season when COVID hit. Now he's shooting season two from his house in Atlanta. Are you get sticking on folks after a while? Are you get on? Hey? Where you want to stand? I'm so happy to see I've been at Quartins at large. Safety is a priority, Steve. His on site staff and crew all get weekly COVID test part of house to wein, Well, this is the downstairs. The wall that you on right now actually is the studio wall. And then when I picked one of the studio members to talk to it shows up in your camera where you are and around the corner is cigar lounge golf role hold. I saw that on your social media that you had the indoor little chipping putting ring. Is that right? You have a little golf indoor golf are. Yeah, just a little shout out to Kevin Frasier. So how was it, Steve taping from your home and everything? How was what? Now? It was it was that? Yeah? Now it was? It was. It was like really cool. I think. I think the way they got it set up because we used a viral audience, you know, so we had like fifty audience members up on screen zooming from that house from Canada all across the United States, you know, like yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, you know what I'm saying. Yeah, And that's it, Carlin. We was in the bubble, so it's like doing it in the bubble, you know. But I'm gonna tell you what. I am getting tired of the damn COVID tests. And here's what I learned about the COVID tests. See, the COVID testing is a new science, right because it just started this year. Everybody don't know two people do to COVID test the same listen I've taken. I've taken at least sixteen COVID tests. At least sixteen because I gotta take two a week for Facebook, and I gotta take two a week for family feud. But before I go to Facebook on that Thursday, they come over and they take it. So I take three in one week, sometimes sometimes four in a week, and I don't like it. Man, I'm just gonna be honest with you, because no two people do it the same. I had just one dude. He does one nostril, sticks it all the way up in there, holds it for ten seconds, then scrubs around three and pull it out. Then some people it's five seconds each nostril, and and they go just and some people just go too far. I don't like it, man. They need to get some consistent testing route, Like it ought to be a weight limit. Like if your answer is a big person, you can't handle the stick in the nose. You can't do it because you're heavy handed testing. Yeah, if you're a big ass dude, you you can't do it. Women should just do the COVID test. Dudes ain't sensitive enough. You got a big nose though you're nostril, You're not is your nose though. It's not about the test, it's no, it's about that. They need to be longer for you. Okay, man, Can I ask you a question? Did you get tested all ready for love four days? Do they use a real short stick when they do. Yours time, now the sea for the latest headlines. Let's go the ladies. A gentleman, it's a trip, okay, and good morning everybody. This is a trip. Well, no laughing matter to the folks in the Gulf area. Tropical Storm Sally is expected to make landfall on the Gulf coast this week as a hurricane. New Orleans mayor Latoria Cantrell says hurricane and storm surge watches have already been issued. We cannot again afford to take this lightly. We're still again watching the weather patterns every single hour and minute as we prepare ourselves they go to. Mississippi has declared a state of emergency Hurricane Laura. You may remember it hit southwest Louisiana late last month as a Category four storm, and more than twelve thousand evacuees from that are still sheltered in New Orleans hotels. They still haven't gone home. Wildfires across the state of Oregon a scorch more than fourteen hundred square miles and remain largely uncontained. More than fifty people are reported missing. Meanwhile, cruising California continuing to battle dozens of blazes there that have burned up nearly five thousand square miles. At least thirty people have lost their lives and more than forty seven hundred structures have either been damaged or completely destroyed. In California, to Los Angeles County Sheriff's deputy still fighting for their lives. This morning, they were in critical condition. Now they're said to be in stable, but then doesn't necessarily mean they're out of the woods. Law enforcement officials say they were ambushed. Two were shot at point blank range Saturday night in Compton. In surveillance video, the shooter walks up to the passenger side of the police vehicle and just opens fire. The gunman then runs away. Last Thursday, in Compton, authorities say that another officer involved shooting took place, and this one agents from the Sheriff's office shot and killed a man who they said fired on them as they tried to serve a search warrant. According to a document obtained by The Washington Post, Trump administration has issued a memo ordering federal agencies to stop conducting racial sensitivity classes. The Trump White House labels such training as quote Unamerican divisive propaganda. At the same time, a report from the Department of Homeland Security is saying that white supremacists present the gravest terror threat to the United States. According to Politico, even though there were two subsequent memo rewrites of this, it says, all three drafts contain the same sentence, and here it is among domestic violent extremists, we judge white supremacists will remain the most persistent and lethal threat to in the homeland through twenty twenty one. Not one of the drafts, by the way, from the Department of Homeland Security, referred any threat from Antifa, the left leaning agitators that Trump talks about all the time. Finally, though today as national the quiet day, Calm down, Arnold, Now back to Steve Harvey Morning Show. You're listening to Dave Harvey Morning Show. We gotta say congratulations to twenty year old Naomi Osaka. She's the winner girl of the US Own and her third count them three, one two three Grand Slam title. Take a listen to Naomi's perfect response to a question about her wearing her Black Lives Matter math after winning the US Open. You said, from the beginning, you had seven matches, seven masks, seven names. What was the message you wanted to send, Naomi tom Well, what was the message that you got? Listened more of the question. I feel like the point is to make people start talking. What'll be most gratified about the awareness that you raised? Um? I mean for me, I've been inside of the bubble, so I'm not really sure what's really going on in the outside world. All I can tell is what's going on on social media. And for me, I feel like, you know, the more retweets it gets or that's so lame, but you know, the more people talk about it, wow, you And he didn't answer it that, yeah, did you get because because see, you want to be a reporter, so you want to be neutral, but you want everybody to be expl have to explain what they're doing. It's just real simple. Black lives matter. Say her name. It's just real simple. We want you to get the point that black lives matter. H what's disturbing, though, is this president is on a recording saying to someone who asked him about racism. He said, oh, so you're drinking the racism cool age. Yeah, I mean, you know, thinking yeah, And you know, man, that's really disheartening because here's here's a real problem with racism in this country for those who are in positions or just in life general, or just on your job who claims that racism doesn't exist. If that's your thought about racism, doesn't agrist exist, then there's nothing for you to address. That's no problem to solve. And that right there is the ridiculousness of it all. And that's why we've got to keep bringing it up and keep bringing up the awareness so people get it. And this November we've got to get to the polls so he gets it. So yeah, man, true, yeah, Trump, were drinking it. Yeah, we're drinking the koolaid and we're gonna get your glass of it on the floor. You can't handle our koolaid on a light of No, Junior, Uh, I know the Texans laws and the Rockets law, but ain't no Naomi. Ain't he from Houston? I think's he from us? Today?

Subject my boyfriend's son is creeping me out. Dear Stephen Shirley, I'm a thirty five year old woman and I'm at a loss for words when it comes to my new boyfriend's four year old son. I've been with my boyfriend for six months and he felt it was time for me to meet us four year old sons. He's told me that I am the first woman he's been serious about in years, and he can see me as his wife someday. So I met his four year old son and he's a bit weird. He looked me up and down and said hello. Then he stared at my breath for a long time. My boyfriend noticed and chuckled, then told his son to go play. The little boy went to the kitchen table where he had been drawing pictures. He came over to me and he said he drew me a picture. He drew a picture of me with his daddy, and I had huge boobs, a huge behind, and a big head. I'm a curvy woman, so I can see how that might stand out to him, but I didn't like it. My boyfriend didn't think it was a big deal at all. He said the boy was just being honest with what he saw, and small kids don't have a filter. The next time I was over at my boyfriend's home, the boy just sat and stared at me, and he barely answered when I talked to him, and I told my boyfriend he was creeping me out. I put him to bed later that night and he said good night, and he was going to dream about me. What the holy heck is going on here? While my boyfriend is glad his son likes me, I'm so worried that some things not right with the kid. Since then, He's drawn more pictures of me, and he even drew a picture of me without ahead. My boyfriend is still saying it's not a problem. I was using the bathroom and this kid was sitting outside the door when I came out. Is this how kids show they like you? Or is this kid just a little creep Please help? Well? You know, I think this is creepy, and I think it's creepy because you're making it so. I mean, we're talking about a four year old baby here. It sounds like the little boy is just smitten with you. He doesn't really know how to act. He's just four, so he doesn't know how to quite process his feelings or just how to deal with what's going on. I mean, maybe he's never seen a woman that looks like you before. And I definitely mean that in a good way. You said you were curvy and everything. So you know, I think it's a situation where you and the dad are adults. You need to act like adults, I think, and just you know, find out what's going on. And it's four a little a little four year old head. I mean, he's his mind is young. I think make him feel safe and comfortable enough that and I'm sure he'll He'll talk to you about a whole lot of stuff that's going on, you know, like a lot of four year olds do. When you sit down and have a conversation with them. I think you might find out it's perfectly innocent, and maybe you look like a superhero to him or something. I just say, don't make something creepy and crazy where it shouldn't be. I mean, he's four, He's just a four year old kid. You know, I would say, what's wrong with you in this instance? Steve? Yeah, I mean, I don't have much to add, but when I come back, I will add what I do have to aid. A lady, just hang on, because here I come with what I think is happening. All right. We'll have part two of his response coming up at twenty three minutes after the hour. Subject for the Strawberry Letter today, my boyfriend's son is creeping me out. We'll be back right after this. You're listening show, all right, Steve, come on, let's recap today's Strawberry Letter. Subject my boyfriend's son is creeping me out. Well, let me just help start by saying, I think Shirley's one correct. Here, I don't think there's anything to worry about at all. First of all, it's obvious that you don't have any children, so because you know you would have some idea of how kids can be at time. But you've been with your boyfriend. He felt his time for meet for your old son. Now, this is the first woman he'd been seious about in years, and he can see me as his wife Sunday. So he takes you to meet this for your old son, and he's weird. He looked you up and down and said hello. Then he stayed at your breast for a long time. His dad, he ain't got no breast, He ain't had no women over at the house in a while. Nobody's serious. Nobody the man wants to introduce him to This is new to him. You do not know the relationship he has with his mother. You didn't mention if his mother's in his life active as the man has full of custody. You don't know. But obviously you are brand new to this boy. Now he looked at you, stared at you, looked you up and down, staring at your breast for a long time. Then your boyfriend kind of noticed and told his son gonna play well, little boy, go back in the kitchen, started drawing picture. Then he came up you and said, he drew me a picture. He fall, I got something for you. Hit you a picture me and his daddy, and I had huge boobs, a huge behind, and a big head. Okay, damn the head. Ain't you got big boobs? You said, I'm a curvy woman, so I can see how that might stand out to him. Might What did you have on in this boy's face? Cleavage, something tight? And your breast was up there now he noticed them. He just a boy. He don't know. I've been looking at women's breast ever since. I can't remember. I was five in love with my Sunday school teacher boy. She was from fishing as your church. One Sunday I was sitting on the table with her legs cross, teaching the sitting there with her legs cross, teaching them, teaching us about Jesus. And I didn't hear nothing about Jesus that day. Nothing. I'm just telling you so I was six O clo No that this ain't nothing wrong. He drawing pictures. Shirley said it right. He doesn't know how to express his feelings. I'm gonna draw this picture. Hear you you like it, because I damn show do now. Your boyfriend didn't think it was a big deal. All he said, the boy was just being honest with what he saw. Kids don't have a filter. Well, next time you're over at your house, the boy just said and stared at me. He barely answered when I talked to him. The boy is enamored with you. You are new, You are new. I told my boyfriend he was creeping me out. I put him to bed later that night. He said good night, and he was gonna dream about me. That's a little boy. He don't know what to say. You're the most beautiful woman I've ever seen in my life. I'm gonna dream about you. You're gonna be my new mama. What the holy heck is going on here? While my boyfriend is glad and his son does like you, if he didn't like you, you get on the other side of this thing, and then you really have something to worry about. I'm so awared that something's not right with this kid. Everything's fine with it. He's a boy. He's a boy, and he don't know how to deal with what he looking at. You won't look like nobody else has been over there. Obviously don't look like his mama, and you definitely don't look like his daddy. Now, since then, he's drawn more pictures of me, and he even drew a picture of me without a head because that ain't what he sees. He can't get your head right, no way. But he betty had a big booty and the big boobs on that picture though, didn't he right? He just he just thought he throw that on that But then he said, no, I didn't capture that right. Let me draw what I know how to draw. That's what I'm saying. My boyfriend is still saying, it's not a problem. I was using the bathroom and this kid was sitting outside the door when I came out. What you're doing it now? I'm gonna wait on you to come out. He likes you. What you should do is sit down and act like a mother to him. If you really want to have a relationship with this man, this enamorment will pass ass But you've got to, you know, show him how to dress, help him with his school where, talk to him about stuff that mothers to. He's probably be missing that, and he don't want you to go away. Is this our kids show they like you? Yes? Or is this kid a little creep? Not at all. He's a four year old boy. This is a boy.

Houston out, Texans is out in Astro lost. What say? Sorry to do that to you? Junior. We gotta go, Yeah, coming up, I know, coming up. Steve Harvey Morning Show at the top of the hour. Right after this, you're listening to the Steve Harvey Morning Show. We all saw this horrific video on social media over the weekend of the Clayton County sheriff repair heatedly punching a black man his name is rogerick Walker after a traffic stop. Um, well he's been fired. Uh. The victim rocking Rogerick Walker was Yeah, that is really good, Carl. You're right, was with his girlfriend and one of his children as the incident unfolded. I mean, the deputy was fired for using excessive force. Here we go again, Here we go again. Okay, say he fired, but nothing else happens to you at all. Well, I mean that's usually the first step. You know, it just happened. So that's the firing is all you gonna get for for the person names, that's all you get. Most of them don't even get fired for killing. That's about most can happen to you. You lose your job for sucker punching him like that. But I don't understand. Let me ask you a question. It was just so a traffic stop. Yeah, it was a traf it was. It's so weird with this story about the traffic stop, because first they said that it was a ride share and Lift was involved. The Lift is tweeting they weren't involved. He was the passenger, he was not He wasn't driving. No, so it's still more to this, you know, as the details it. Yeah, I just don't understand what's going on in me. Two police officers laying on top of the guy that right, that that wait alone was enough, but they kept trying to he right, and he was struggling with the officers. But the excessive punching in the face. Then when the when the guy doing the film said, that's it, that's your aunt. Did the police office gonna turn to him and say he bit me? Right? Because when they got up, the man's face was all bloody. Remember his nose was bleeding from his nose and everything. It was just push his face in the ground, and I mean he was I could punching this dude. Man And this was a big ass Yeah yeah, daddy. Yeah. But they actually like they didn't hear them. They I mean, they go into what happens to them somewhere else. Yeah, it's like what happens to them when they have they almost killed this person. They didn't have to do that. It's like de escalation is should always be the key, but it never is. It just goes worse and worse and work, it gets worse and worse worse because it is no mandatory sentencing of police officers. What wed the mistake we've made with the police is that we've given them a badge to operate as judge, jury and execution. Yeah, and until we take away that power, they gonna keep exerting it because it only you only got to go to police academy for twenty two weeks. And I'll say it again. You can become a police officer fast, and you can become a barber. Let's still a deadly weapon. Yeah, now you can taste and kill people after twenty two weeks, but you bet not mess nobody head up at day, bobsh who understand. So, Now, until we get some type of laws in place that require that require consequences of police officers who perform these deadly acts and unfair acts against people black, white, yellow, brown that we paid to uphold the law, they should be held to the same law they are paid to a poll. And until we get some sentencing mandatory for these police officers. This is going to continue to happen. Yeah, that deputy again was fired for using excessive force and other news too. LA deputies are fighting for their lives after being shot multiple times as a man walked up to a patrol car parked patrol car shot them multiple times. The two officers shot were was a thirty one year old female mother of six year old boy and her partner on duty. Twenty four year old shot multiple times. Guy, his ass got to go to prison, Yes, sirs, No, we're against police brutality. Coming up, we'll have more of a Steve Harvey Morning Show in some trending stories at twenty minutes after the hour, right after this, you're listening to Steve Harvey Morning Show. All right, So there's another tropical storm, hurricane in the golf Carla. Is this is this right? Is this correct? Yes? Hurricane tropical storm Sally. Yes, it's a Category two right now and off the coast of Florida now heading towards Louise. Right outside in New Orleans, Morgan City. Those areas are really big with off oil, you know, rigs and offshore drilling, is what I'm trying to say. So that's a big area there, Mississippi, so everyone is on alert.
