Today's show is pre recorded. Y'all know what time y'all don't know y'all have a sun giving them like the million bucks things. And as to me through good to mother, don't you join jo? You gotta turning? You going to do? You? Are you gotta turn to turn them out? Turn You haven't got to turn out to turn turn the water the water got come Come on your bad h I shall will a good morning everybody. You're listening to the voice, Come on dig me now, one and only Steve Harley got a radio show. Here we go today. I think I have something for a lot of people today, at least I hope I do. And this is about on your journey, And this is about something that happens to us all. I mean, what happens to all of us from time to time when we get discouraged, What happens to all of us when we feel like quitting, What happens to all of us when we have that turn back moment, What happens to all of us when it don't seem like it's gonna pan out. Because I want you to understand something that everyone, every single living soul, has those thoughts about something at some point in their life. I mean, you know, look, I've oftentimes been discouraged about things not happening as fast as I like them. All things don't pan out the way I would like for them to have panned out. I mean, there's so many ways to get discouraged. But but what my encouragement to you is when discouragement comes is understand this. It is a part of the growth process. It is a test. It is a test of your faith. How bad you want it, do you really believes that's all faith is. It's simply and I've said this how many times. Faith is to belief in things that you cannot see. So when discouragement comes, setbacks come, it is a test of your faith. At least it's been that way for me. Now other people can explain it another way. I'm not other people. I can only give it to you the way it has come to me and throughout my life, and man on man on man. Discouragement sometimes it's tough to deal with because it seems at times when you are discouraged that is so absolute that this means the end, and if you allow it to set in, it can be just that the end of you. When Milly Milly. It was a test, that's all it is. But the majority of people that I know who are not successful or who have told me the story of how they gave up, it was because at a moment of discouragement that they allowed it to set in and it became so engulfing that it became the reason why you shouldn't finish. And then they started justifying it with hither one that I hate to hear. Well, if if it's God's will, excuse me. If it's God's will that you fail. If it's God's will that you're not successful. If it's God's will that you lay down and give up, it's God's will that you allow yourself to amount to to not reach your potential, that's God's will. That's not the God I know. That's not the God I served. That's not the God I've read about. That's not the God I believe in. I'm sorry. I just my mother always taught me something that he didn't bring me this far to leave me. I just don't believe that, not for a second. Now have I convinced myself or some things, yep, Have I allow the devil to come into the picture and paint a different one from it. Yep, yep, I've done all of that, But you can't blame that on God. Now, come on, So when discouragement comes, try to look at it if you can, as a test of your faith, and you merely have to pass the test. It could be for a day, a half a day, a few hours, a week, a few weeks, it don't matter. Don't nobody know how long the test period is. Your job is to keep the faith and keep moving. Keep the faith and keep moving, keep working, keep believing, keep hope alive. That's your job. If you do that, that's how you pass the test. It could be over tomorrow, it could be over in two weeks, it could be over in a month. You don't know. But all you got to do is wake up and keep the faith and fight the discouraging feelings. And how do you do that? Steve? Now here we go. This is the part I know about for show because how many times I've had to fight off discouragement in order to get to where God wanted me to be. What do you do when you become discouraged? Well, I think of the outcome when I get discouraged about a task. I think about the outcome, Man, what would it be like if I were to complete the task? What would it be like? Man? What would the outcome be for me if I hung on in there? If I didn't give up, if I if I imagine, I imagine, if I don't quit, I imagine if I don't give up. What would it be like? Man? Suppose everything I'm hoping for comes true. But if I don't quit and give up, that might just be the case. I start talking to myself like that, I think of what the upside is. What's the upside to stay in with it? You see, all this is the same thing. I'm just giving you different ways to look at it. I'm saying the exact same thing over and over. But I'm just trying to find the switch that connects in your mind where you can say, Okay, man, I'm gonna hang in there. Because if you think of the outcome and the outcome is appealing to you, if you imagine what it would be like if you don't give up or you don't quit, you if you think only of what the upside is to stay in with it? And then I go, where can this lead to? If I stay with it? Man? And the outcome comes true. What else could that lead me to? Because I mean, there's always more to it. So where else could this lead me to? What are the possibilities? Man? What are the limitless possibilities? What could God possibly have in store for me? If I just hang in there? If I passed this test of faith? If I just passed this test, now, it ain't gonna be the only one. But you gotta get past this one. No, then you're gonna hit a smooth plane. Then it's gonna be another one. It's gonna be another one. Life ain't none but a series of tests. Man. Man, when you're thinking about giving up, when you discourage, think of the outcome. Imagine what it would be like if you don't quit, if you don't give up, what's the upside to stay in with it? Where can this all lead to? What? What can this get you too? If you do this and you get to where you think you want to be, Oh my god, what's after that? What are the limitless and endless possibilities of holding on to your faith? What could really be out there for me? Man? If I just passed this test, you gotta talk yourself into hanging in there. You're listening tow. Ladies and gentlemen, put your hands together for the one and only the host of the most epic epic versus of all time. One of the greatest moments I've ever had, man O, man o man to sit with the legends Earth Winding five and that damn Ronald Eyes and his brother Man one of the great moments I've ever had in my life. And I got that moment, I must tell you all because of this thing called Grace. Because it wasn't nothing I planned. It wasn't nothing I could set up.

Okay, yeah, okay, We're gonna be fully vaccinated. Uh and other trending entertainment news. We are still in shock. As we previously reported on yesterday, actor reggae Jean Paige is leaving Bridgerton. Of course, that's a hit Netflix series. According to Variety, Reggae page says, um, Well, he plays the Duke of Hastings Simon, and he said the only he only signed on for one season. Okay, he only signed on for one season. No one knew that, of course. He went on to say that the show felt like a limited series to him. Well, fans who read the romance, who read romance novels, and a lot of fans do. They knew that the Duke was leaving the show, but the viewers who watched the show certainly expected the Duke to come back since at the end of the season he was having a baby with his wife Daphanie. A waste of time, huh. I don't see myself tuning it in. Where's he going though? I don't know? Yeah, I mean he's every time lights kids get on top. This is what happened any time we get there. This is what happened. Case y'all stupid, No, but listen to me, Quinn and go do what Yeah, I mean they were saying to I was gonna ask you this. They were saying that when you do these subscription type series streaming service, it's different from network television. The deals are different. I got that, that is true. They are different deals. But let me say this, because it's not like network television because it's a script subscription base things, right, right, So movies are treated differently also, And now I don't know exactly why it is. I think it's plus twenty percent or something like that to do a Netflix movie, which is good money. But when you quit a series and you're an actor, you're quitting to go do what you better. Maybe you got some skip, going to read for more parts, stack your gigs, you can do that and other things. Yeah, but it's so popular. I'm just so surprised that he's leaving.

Let's go, ladies and gentlemen, missay and true, Okay, thank you very much. And this is answered with the news. Let's get to the seriousness. And here it still goes. Testimony continued yesterday and the Derek Chauvin murder trial prosecutor his first question the doctor who declared George Floyd did that in an effort to counter Derek Chauvin's expected argument that mister Floyd died of a heart attack brought him by drug overdose and ostrangulation. But the doctor, Bradford Langonfeld, said there was no evidence of any heart attack. There was no report that, for example, the patient complained of chest pain, or was clutching his chest at any point um or having any other symptoms to suggest a heart attack. That information was absent, and doctor Langonfelt added that George Floyd was brought to him in cardiac arrest with quote pulseless electric activity indicating a lack of oxygen. In other words, he says a lack of oxygen is what made George Floyd's heart stop. Derek Chowen's other excuses expected to be that he was only doing what he was trained to do. However, the man who fired Chauvin and his three co defendants after seeing that video is police Chief of Medaria Rodondo, who testified yesterday that Chauvin and the others who actually doing the opposite of what they were taught. When we get the call from our communities, it may not often be their best day and they may be experiencing something that is very traumatic, but we're going to respond. But we have to take that into consideration because we may be the first and last time they have an interaction with the Minneapolis police officer, and so we have to make account. It matters, by the way, a Chief Rodondo, in a statement last summer, described George Floyd's death as a murder, not a lack of training. Meanwhile, the other officers charging Floyd's death are expected to stand trial sometime this summer. Hunters of fans joined family members of DMX outside and up State New York hospital last night as part of a prayer vigil for him. DMX, whose legal name is Earl Simmons, has been on life support Since last Friday, judicial watch groups say that a lot of Trump supporters who broke into the US capital in January sixth will not be facing any serious jail time because of their actions. They say a little over a quarter of the two hundred and thirty or so defendants formally and publicly charged so far face only misdemeanor trust person charges that doesn't carry any kind of harsh sentence. They say that recently all the judges, defense attorneys, and prosecutors have all indicated that they do not expect most of these riders to be legally lumped in with those they describe as the more sinister suspects. US Preme Court to miss the Lower Court to a ruling that found that Donald Trump violated the First Amendment rights of the people he blocked on Twitter when he was president.

Twenty four my husband and I watched it, and he said, this was just a moment, just a huge musical epic moment. It was. I know it.

Please submit your strawberry letter to Steve HARVEYFM dot com and click submit Strawberry letter, Because what we could be reading your letter live on the air, just like we're going to read this one right here, right now. I'm buggle up, hold on tape. We got it for you here. It is a strawberry letter, subject how large? It's too large. Dear Stephen Shirley, I am in a struggle right now, and I need a little advice for a big problem. I have a male friend that I've known since first grade and we're almost forty now. I'm divorced and dated a lot of men after my divorce. After a one day recently, I had a revelation that my soul mate is someone I have known all my life. My good male friend and I hang out all of the time, but he's not who I had in mind if I were to date someone i've known a long time. He's a tall man, almost six five, with big hands and feet. He's not overweight, but he's massive in size compared to me. I'm petite and barely five three, so he towers over me. He's always well groomed, but handsome. He is not exclamation mark. So he and I met up after work for dinner with another male friend of ours. He paid my tab as usual and said all I owed him was a hug. He walked me to my car and I got on my tiptoes like I always do to give him a hug, But this time he kissed me. That was a first, and I must have had too much wine because I started kissing him back. He picked me up and sat me on my car and we kissed for a good while. He didn't say a word. Afterwards, he took me down off my car and said good night. I was so turned on that I told him to follow me home at my house. We kissed some more and then went to my bed. After a few minutes of us trying to have sex, we realized it wasn't going to work. This man is large and in charge in all areas. I was not ashamed because I've known him forever, and we laughed for hours about it. He opened up and said he wants to date me, and I'm all for trying it because I do love him and I know he loves me. But it is intimacy out of the question. I will need to try it before I get too serious with him. What should I do? Oooh, Okay, I understand your concern, and this is certainly the opposite of some of the letters we get, that's for sure. I'm sure many women would want to be in your shoes right now, but it's not about them. This is about you. First. I would tell you to talk to your doctor. Women who are women are definitely built to um, to carry children and to push babies out and all that. But it's always good to be sure about what's going on with your own body. And I think it was the wine that took over your body and you went too far a little bit in this one, uh, and that maybe that's why you know you were struggling and didn't fit. You were trying too hard. I think you need to be sober if you want to be into it with him and intimate with him. I say, the next time you guys get together, maybe you should relax and let things happen organically. Don't try too hard, don't think too hard, don't try to force it any of that. It's gonna either fit or won't. I mean, you know that, and that's how life is, I guess. But you you got to take your time, relax and not rush into this situation. And that's all I got to say. I tried to. Sometimes you can't be gin to Shelley hear people help now his ladies in the struggle right now. She's been knowing this man since they was in the first grade. They thought that she's divorced. She's dated several men. She had this revelation. Yeah, that her soul mate was somebody that she's known for a long time, you know, you know, revelation, premonition, feeling, dream, whatever she had. Well, she got a good male friend to hang out all the time. And he's not who she had in mind if I were to date someone. He's tall man, he's almost six five, with big hands and big feet. Now I noticed he I this wild come in. I got big hands and I got big feet. I understand you've noticed Time is very quiet normally he got something say on these Why because I got it? Okay, well I got another. I got the part. I'm gonna you chime in Time to just sit tight. I found a part for you. He's not overweight, and he's massive in size compared to me. Once again, this is not Tommy. Well, it's just he lived. You know, it's just short. You know, this man six five. We can't be talking about tom big hands. You've seen his hands when you do some live remote. Got a little raccoon hands. You know. I remember when Time was the baby. He couldn't even hold an apple, you know. With the letter, I'm just saying we had to cut the apple slice. He's not overweight, but he's massive in size compared to me. Well, now, I'm petite five three. He's well groomed, yeah, which is a plus. Now he's always well groomed. She's barely five three. He towers over me, but handsome he is not. Okay, right there, Tommy, right there, you got something you want to say? Right there. I'm not gonna be ugly with you and Julia. But this is the part I'm just I told you. It's a part in the letter where you can come in. He paused on time though they met up after work for dinner. All right, hold that thought, and right after that it started. We'll be all right. We're gonna have part two of Steve's response coming up in twenty three minutes after the hour, subject how large it is? Too large. We're gonna go to break and get back into it right after this. You're listening to show. All right, Come on, Steve, let's recap today's Strawberry Letters. Subject with youth, which you seem to think it's about Tommy. Uh just no, no, no, that ain't bout Timmy. He's just a section in him, which is that we'll get to it. Okay, This woman is in the struggle right now. She got a big problem. She got a male friend she knows in the first grade day forty now, and she's divorcing. She's dated a lot of men, but she had to reach a recent premonition that her soul mate was somebody that she's known for a long time. Now, she got a good male friend that hang out all the time. But that ain't somebody she thought it would be. He's tall man, almost six five, big hands, big feet. This is not Tommy. Six five, big hands, big feet. That ain't Tommy. He's not overweight, but he's massive inside. To me that I'm putteth a barely fell. She fired three. They ain't hard to be bigger than her. No, massive inside. It's what I'm doing. I know because she fired three. I'm not talking about that. Yeah, five three, I'm gonna get you that dog. We are, But I got the line for you. This whole type. He tires over me. He's always wear of groom. Here we go, Tommy, but handsome he is not there. You go on any comments. I'm not feel free. I got that. I understand that. That's called denial. Okay, let's move on with the letter. We met up for work for dinner, and another male friend of us. He paid the tab and he said, all you know and was a hug. He walked to the car. I got on my tipper toes like I always do to get him a hug. But this time he kissed me. Now here we go. This was the first. That was the first. And I must add too much wine because I started kissing him back and Shirley, come tell about instant one. No, it wasn't. It wasn't the wine you wanted to. Wine and alcohol make you do exactly what you think. It removes reasoning. The other time, Tommy got something you wanna say right downright. None of sex is where you might and have something say. All right, he picked me up and he set me on my car and we kissed for a good little while. He didn't say a word afterwards. That's that, ain't you, Tommy. You can't pick him and picking him on the well, you know how high you had to have hold of your head to get the mess around and fall back break your back. Don't try that. We told you you had a g I Joe. We wouldn't even let you put that on the kitchen table. Watch watch Tommy, Watch and we kissed for a good while. He didn't say a word. After he took me down off the car and said good night. Player, moved straight, player, move right there. I was so toned on I toned him to follow me home. Now she ain't drank that much, sure, because she drove home. She know the way. So now at my house, we kissed some more and then went to my bed, because just what you do, so you've got him in the bed. After a few minutes of us trying to have sex, we realized it wasn't going to work. Now, let's put the brakes on trying. How you trying to have sex? I don't know about that. This man is larging and charging in all errors. I'm not ashamed because I've known the fairy and we laughed hours about it. Well, how he held in the half sex. We don't have sex with it now I'm golfing here. We're laughing for now. I'm just trying. I'm just asking because they're friends. And it didn't work, so you know, they laughed it off. He opened up and said he wants to date me, and I'm and and I'm off for trying it because I do love him and I know he loves me, but it's intimacy out of the question. My answer right off the bad is probably. But then I have other answers. I will need to try it before I get too serious with him. What should I do? Well, let's think about this. If you say you gotta try, I suggest that you practice all this. We got to practice. We got to treat this sex like a marathon. You don't just go out there and run twenty six and a half mile. Now, you got the warm practice first, you got to learn how to run a mile. You can't do the whole marathon, right. Then you got to learn how to do five miles. You can't do the whole marathon. Then you gotta do a ten k. Yeah, you can't do a whole marathon. Then you gotta try to. Then that you do ten k, then you gotta try to do half a marathon thirteen miles and follow what I'm saying. So, since this man is law, we got to ease into this. We got to and not noticed I've been through. I've been through. It's not your part, Tommy. You had your part. You steal back there trying to put up on the car. I'm at the house. Second, time trying to work out how we're gonna do this. Now, you just got you know it's there's an old saying on how to become successful, and I'm gonna share it with you. And this is all I'm gonna say about this letter. I've given this advice to millions of people. Inch by inch, anything's a cinch. Yeah, have a happy life, enjoy yourself, work it out, all right, post your comments to steal back there trying to put up on that car, and we Instagram and Facebook.

Did you see this at Globe Like Park in in Arlington, Texas, the Rangers home of the Rangers. No, you're talking about when the governor. Yeah, he lifted everything, man, And they had thirty eight thousand fans at the game with no social distancing, nothing like it, just a regular they at the park. He lifted it. And then they asked him to throw out the ceremonial first pitch, and he refused because he don't want to have nothing to do with Major League Baseball because they canceled the All Star Jordan as a protest against the voting. And this Republican in Texas, I'm not throwing out the first pitch and no baseball game. I want to have nothing to do with base Wait a minute, man, because they came up with some voter suppression. You want that to go through so bad that you're not even throwing out the first pitch. That's how hatefully these people are, man, And that's how unified. That's how unified they are as the Republican Party one talking against cancel culture. Now y'all mad at baseball? Yeah, get out of here, say nobody board cotting no sport? Right, And it was just the first first pitch. It would like you were playing anyway. Yeah, I don't about to care if he don't throw out to pitch. You taking me an equivalent? Yeah, seriously? All right. Uh we'll be back with more of the Steve Harvey Morning Show right after this. You're listening to Steve Harvey Morning Show. Well, yesterday, at the Derek Chauvin trial in Minneapolis, police Chief Mederia Aridondo testified yesterday that Chauvin's actions of May twenty fifth last year, violated departmental policy and restraint and medical response. Take a listen, when do you believe or do you have a belief as to when this restraint, the restraint on the ground that you viewed, should have stopped once mister Floyd, And this is based on my viewing of the videos. Um, once mister Floyd had stopped resisting and certainly once he was in distress and trying to verbalize that, Um, that that should have stopped to continue to apply that level a force to a person proned out, handcuffed behind their back. Um that that in no way, shape or form is anything that is by policy, is not part of our training and it is certainly not part of our ethics or values. Wow, you go from the police chief. Yes, okay, okay, y'all heard that, right, yes, okay. When they get into Jewry rule, what do they hear exactly? See exactly? That's like, that's enough right there that you would think the video would be enough to promise you. You are so all point by saying, would think that's a But man, I have been convinced in this country and this country has let me down this so many times. This judicial system has let me down so many times. I'm gonna just tell you flat out, man, I do not have faith in the judicial system when it comes to black lives and when it comes police officer, I have no faith in the judicial system. But when you agree though this time, though, guys, when you agree though that the police chief is sessifying for the prosecution, that very rare. Of course, yes, would make this even more unbelievable, right if something were to happen, Yeah, right, if the verdict right, you know, I don't see how they could. I don't really see how because this country. But I'll tell you what, though this, I do believe this should result in a conviction. I think for sure that it will come out to a conviction to get us to man and he's gonna do some serious time. But this not this I do know for a fact. If he's not convicted. And I'm not promoting it or wishing for it, because I hope it don't even come to this. But if they let that man go, it's gonna be a problem. I'm just telling you right now, it's gonna be a problem. Yeah, it's gonna be And we don't want we don't want an accounts on them. Don't want that. Yeah, I think I don't know. Third degree anyway, murder two, yeah, D three right now. Steve Chauvin's defense attorney asked the police chief if he agrees that you supports is not an attractive notion, and the police chief replied, I would say that you supports is something most officers would rather not use. Prosecutors said that Chauvin's knee pressed into George Floyd's neck for nine minutes and twenty nine seconds and that's what caused his death. The defense argues that Chauvin did what he was trained to do. You just heard the police chief say something different. Yeah, that was against their policies. You just heard the police chief say something different. Yeah, that's that's amazing. His actions were in no way, shape or formed by the book. Now, I do know that training is they are shooting, they shoot to kill. Ain't no targets with legs on it and all that. They are trained to do kiel shots and the targets are black. Wow, that says right there. They're trained to do kiel shots and the targets are always black. That says so much right there, it really does. All right, Um, we'll have more of a Steve Harvey Morning Show and trending stories coming up at twenty minutes after the hour. Right after this, you're listening to the Stave Harvey Morning Show. All right, So, guys, Saturday was April third, twenty twenty one, which means the date was four three twenty one and lots of three two one, four three two right down? Okay. I kept saying, why what was the big deal? Right? Yeah? And lots of couples wanted it for their wedding date.

But the most popular wedding date in Clark County Marriage Bureau history is seven to seven seven with four four nine two four thousand. There, I go, I thought that was another significant cover four thousand, four hundred ninety two marriage. So you count down dates, Yeah, I'm four for nine two. Now what does that mean a combination? Right now? In my head? That's what I'm thinking, right all right? So, Steve, I gotta ask you, how did you and Marjorie pick your wedding date. I don't know. She just she just wanted that date. She took her ring off, gave it back to me and said, when I can pick a date, then i'll put the ring back on. But I don't want to wear a ring and I have no date to it.

You know, the family was gathered around people with their moms, are relatives from beginning to end, from beginning to end. Twenty four coming up. It is our last break of the day, and of course we will have some closing remarks from the one and only Steve Harvey right after this at forty nine minutes after you're listening to show. All right, here we are, guys, our last break of the day, and Steve, you have some closing remarks. You know what. I'm just on this tip right now because I want to just remind people, Oh really, really focus on yourself. And I'm not meaning to the point where you don't consider other people. That's not what I'm saying. But in order to be successful, I really want you to focus on yourself, because in order to get you to the next level, nobody should know you better than yourself. And the best way to to know yourself is to be true to yourself. Do the things that feel right to you, Do the things that motivate you, do the things that put you in a better position. Do the things that you know in your heart are right. If it don't feel right, it's probably causing. It's not If what you are doing is that the expense or the cost of somebody else, you're gonna have to pay for that, because that's not how it's done. You don't have to use anybody to get to where you're trying to go in life, especially if it's in the same place God has for you. God don't need no help. God don't need you using nobody, stepping on nobody, abusing nobody. He doesn't need that help. So if you are doing something and you know it's wrong, you have to pull yourself up, pull yourself together. Now, listen to me when you make a mistake, and you will and you get it wrong, and you will get up and go again, Get up and go again. You have to keep moving forward. God is not looking for your perfection. He is only looking for your persistence. You are not going to be perfect. I don't care how hard you try. That's what grace and forgiveness and mercy is all about. Because he put it. He implemented a system where he knew that we were going to fail so many times along the way trying to get it right. So he created grace, mercy and forgiveness. So when you make a mistake, stop laying in it. It's okay, you made a mistake. It's no big deal. Everybody makes them. But know yourself and know what you do. If you don't really care to drink, nothing says you have to drink. If you're the person that really ain't an the weed, just cause it's legal don't mean you got to do it. Alcohol is legal, cigarettes is legal. But if it's not for you, it's not for you. Know yourself and lock in. After you know yourself, lock in on your purpose. You know I say this all the time. The two greatest days in your life for the day you're born, in the day you discover why. But listen to me, man, that why is critical? That why is your purpose? That why is your meaning your service? That why is everything? You've got to lock in on your purpose and stay there and stop allowing everything to sidetrack you. So many people, man, we are so easily distracted in this world because the distractions are everywhere. But you got to get tuned into your purpose. Why are you on this earth? Are you really on this worth to live the way you live in? I mean, you have to just come to that. I had to just set myself down one day and go, Steve Harvey, are you really in this world to live the way you live it? Do you think that God took all this time, bring you through all the stuff he brought you through, for you to act like this, for you to continue living like this? And when I had that honest conversation with myself, the answer was no. And so I had to start pulling it together. But I couldn't pull it together by myself. I had to ask God for some help. You know, why would I not go to God for the help. He's my creator. If you're driving a car and you got a car and your car breakdown.

But you have got to get tuned in your your purpose. And when you make mistakes and you fall, it doesn't mean it's over. I have fallen thousands of times. But the blessing that I have that God has given me is I have the hill, the desire and the faith to get back up, over and over and over again. And you can do it too. You have that same thing in you.
