Today's show is pre recorded. Y'all know what time y'all don't know y'all have a suit on the don giving them like the milling bus things and it's too Steve listening to together for stuy don't joy. You gotta turn you, you gotta turn to turnout. Got to turn them out to turn turn the water to the water. Come come on your baby now, h I shall well a good morning everybody. Y'all listening to the voice, come on digging now, One and only Steve Harvey got a radio show today. I want to just share something with you. Um along your way to wherever it is you're trying to get to. You know, everybody has a different definition for success, and I'm not. I'm not here to tell you what your it should be. I mean, please pursue whatever you think success. He is aim as high as you can though, that's for sure. My father used to say all the time. I'm sure you all have heard it in different variations, but he used to always say, aim for the moon. Just in case you miss, you'll still be amongst the stars. Just say that to me all the time. So that always was in me to aim high. Now, he wasn't saying aim with the intent to miss. He was just saying aim. In case you miss, you're still amongst the stars. If you aim for the moon. But if you just aim for that first flow wind and you miss it, you know, usually run into some type of wall and nothing happens. You slither down. You know. In my book, act like a lady, think like a man. I told her people that men love three ways. They profess, they provide, they protect, and that's the core essence of a man's love. Well, there's some other peas in life too. The number one thing you have to understand about trying to be successful, and I guess I call this the four peas. I may come up with five along the way. I don't know. I'm just talking as is given to me. So I'm gonna summer start by saying, as these are the four peas of success that you have to get ready for. Number one, it's pressure. A lot of it is applied by the circumstance of what you're trying to go for and what you're trying to do, but a lot of it also is self imposed pressure. It's what you put on yourself to make it. It's a sense of urgency it's a sense of necessity. But pressure is the first thing I want you to be ready for. And pressure comes in a lot of different forms, but it's going to be pressured. As an old saying that pressure buster pipe. See, that's why most people turn around because of the pressure of trying to be successful. I want you to get it in your mind that it is going to be a pressure rized situation on your rise to the top. Pressure, but understand that that it is what it is, is not going to change. That's it. Prepare yourself, get ready for there to be pressure. The second thing I want you to understand is when you receive this pressure, you have to persist. You got to stay at it. You got to develop a dog getness has a There's a song who says, why must I feel like that? Why must I chase the cat? Nothing but the dog in me? That's a funny line in that song, because really I was thinking about it one day. I was humming it and and it, and it occurred to me, said, why must I feel like that? Why must I chase the cat? Nothing but the dog get me? And you know, now you could take it into literal says that the cat chases the dog because it's innately is in his spirit. That cats and dogs are a lot of time times enemies. Now people have pets in him, proving that if you show love on both sides, they can exist. And that happens too but naturally innately, when your cat goes by a dog and your dog don't recognize him, that some barking going on. I'm talking I just walking through the neighborhood or something. So, but the reason that this dog's so persistent towards this cat is just cause it's in him. It's innately in him. And what I'm saying to you, just using that as an analogy, is that you got to be you got to be persistent in that. You got to develop some dog in you now, because pressure takes some fighting back. See if you don't fight back against pressure, pressure buster pipes, so what you think it will do to you? Pressure, crack walls, pressure calls, explosions. So if you don't fight back to hold it in, you understand pressure does most people in the simple thing called pressure, the weight of what it feels like to want to be successful every single day, over and over and over and over and over. It's just too much pressure people crack. You got to persist. You have to persist. You can the thought of giving up can come, but you got to get it out. You got to persist. The next thing I want you to think about is another something that I've been thinking about for years and learn for years. It's called perseverance. To persist means to insist. It's keyword in insist and persistence insists you must. You must insist that this is going to happen. Now, the persist I'm assuming means it's a proaction. It's some type of proaction that you go towards it to make it. You know, persist, you gotta be persisted. You gotta be constantly at it, insisting that it happens. You gotta be constantly at it. But the next thing I want you to remember is perseverance. Perseverance is important. Perseverance means that when you've done your best, when you've persisted, when you're fighting back against the pressure. Perseverance simply means I'm going to hang in here when if a crack come into pipe, I'm gonna hang in there. If the pipe bust, I'm gonna keep going. If I gotta put duct, take mud, whatever, I got to put on this thing. Man, I'm gonna use perseverance. I'm going to stay with it no matter what. So we're looking at the three things again. You got to understand that it's gonna be pressure that you're gonna have to persist keyword and persistence insist. You have to insist that no matter what the pressure is, I'm gonna stay with it. But then perseverance. If it goes wrong, Man, you got to get in there and keep fighting. But then Lord Him Mercy. Nothing helps you handle the three peas better than the fourth pea. You got to pray. You got to use prayer. You gotta talk to God. You gotta use faith. You gotta have some conferences with him late at night, early in the morning, in the middle of the afternoon, when you own the train, when you're driving. You got to talk to God. Man, you gotta get yourself some help along the way. Nothing is bigger than prayer. There is nothing bigger than prayer. Prayer will help you overcome the pressure. Prayer will help you stay persistent, and Lord Him Mercy, prayer will help you persevere them is the faue peas. God gave that to me. I'm passing it on. You're listening, ladies and gentlemen. It's about that time of the morning. I don't know if you've come to the conclusion or not. It's Steve Harvey Morning Show, all and popping. Shirley Strawberry, A good morning.

Coming up at the top of the hour, we'll have some entertainment news and today's national voter Registration Day. We'll talk about all of that right after this. You're listening to morning show and entertainment news. Yesterday, Ellen Degenerous addressed her controversy in toxic work environment during her season eighteen premiere. Take a listen. How was everybody's summer good? Yeah? Mine was great, super terrific. I'm so happy to be back in the studio. There are a lot of things I want to talk about. I've been looking forward to addressing it all directly, and unfortunately, talking directly to people has been illegal for six months, so I have a virtual audience here instead. Here you all are. You look beautiful and I'm sure you smell great. That's what I'm imagining anyway. All right, let's get to it. As you may have heard, this summer, there were allegations of a toxic work environment at our show, and then there was an investigation. I learned that things happened here that never should have happened. I take that very seriously, and I want to say I am so sorry to the people who were affected. I know that I'm in a position of privilege and power, and I realize that with that comes responsibility, and I take responsibility for what happens at my show. This is the Ellen de Generous Show. I am Ellen de Generous. My name is there, my name is there, my name is on underwear. We have had a lot of conversations over the last few weeks about the show, our workplace, and what we want for the future. We have made the necessary changes and today we are starting a new chapter. Wow. Yeah yeah, she adjusted head on and I like that, Ellen, that works out. Yeah. You see. Several current and former staff members alleged they faced harrassment, intimidation, and racism. According to People magazine. In late July, Warner Brothers launched an internal investigation and spoke to two hundred and seventy of Ellen's employees, and she publicly apologized and three top producers were fired from the Ellen Show. Well, you know, she took responsibility for it, as her name is on this show. But you know, a person, you can't know what all of your employees are doing. And the sad thing about some producers and stuff is they take on the power because they feel like because they're a producer, they take on a certain power and they wield it in a way that maybe not even the star would do. You know about it? You know, you know, you know, you've all seen people have been in power and have just been abusive with their power, you know. And that's not what that may not that's not what Ellen has been about since I've known her. Well, I like it back when she addressed it, I do and came clean and publicly apologized. I liked all that. Okay, switching gears a programming note tomorrow morning, check this out people, tomorrow morning. Democratic presidential hopeful Joe Biden will be our special guest, special guest.

When I say crazy, I mean crazy. What'd you say, Steve? No, now it's just say oh, all right, here we go. Dear Stephen Shirley, I'm a thirty eight year old wife and mother of four beautiful daughters. My husband and I have been together for eighteen years and married for ten. We have been living separately for the last three years because my husband accused me of cheating in the craziest way. Less than a year after our last daughter was born. He set up a tape recorder in our home to catch me cheating. He told me about the recording and then played the tape from me. All I heard was the baby's cooing and the little mermaid playing in the background, But my husband swore he heard sex sounds on the tape. He made copies of the tape and sent them to his family and a few of our friends. They were puzzled and advised me to watch him because he appeared to becoming unhinged. After that, he stopped sleeping and he started drinking heavily. He told me that our last child is not his, and he started arguments daily about this imaginary boyfriend that I had. I was to stay at home mom at the time, so he never wanted me to leave the house, and if I did leave, he would sniff my clothes for traces of cologne when I got home. I eventually called his mom and told her to come and get him because my older daughters were afraid of his erratic behavior. Since he's been living with his mom. He lost his job, got arrested, and was in legal trouble for a while. That was two years ago, and now he's back on his feet and has been in counseling for three months. He wants to come back home, but my daughters don't necessarily want him to. They are enjoying the peace and stability without him. Am I crazy to even consider taking his paranoid behind back. Please advise girl, not without some serious medical help, okay from a board certified psychologist or psychiatrist. Because I just say this because of his daughters and how they feel. If his own daughters don't want him back in the house, I think this is a major problem. I mean, they are afraid of him. That's not good. He's their dad. The good news in this letter, I will say, is that that was two years ago, and after living with his mom, losing his job, like he's say in the letter, getting arrested, being in legal trouble, he's back on his feet and has been in counseling for three months. So I would say this, there's hope, There might be a glimmer of hope, a light at the end of the tunnel or something. But I wouldn't let him back in the house with just three months of counseling. I mean, remember, come on, this man was sniffing your clothes. He sent out tapes to your family and friends. Even you know, they advised you to watch him because he appeared to becoming unhinged. You got to take all that into consideration. You know, three months of counseling does a whole lot. I just wouldn't let him in with three months of counseling. I don't think you should disrupt your peaceful and stable home right now without some serious intervention from professionals. And let me remind you that he wants to come back, and this is not about what he wants. This is about you and the safe of your home, okay, and your kids. That's what I say, Steve, Well, this is gonna be an interesting take on him. Just thirty eight year old wife, mother four beautiful daughters. I've been together for eighteen years with your husband married ten. They've been living separated for the last three years. The three years they ain't been together three years. That's a long time. Because your husband accused you of cheating in the craziest way. After the last daughter was born. He set up a tape recorder in our home to catch me cheating. He told me about the recording, then he played the tape for me. All I heard was babies cooling and the Little Mermaid playing in the background. All you heard in the tape was baby cooling. My question to you is, normally, when y'all do make love, do you cool? My question to her is, when they do make love, do she cool? I don't know, baby cool? Come if you've been doing baby talk in his ear, he has a case. If your specialty ain't been baby talk, then we have a damn problem. Now. The other thing is when y'all do make love, do y'all play cartoon music? Because the Little Mermaid is playing in the background. Most grown ups like Luther pee Bow, you know, age time, knocking the boots, you know, and say several things you could play. You know, they thirty eight so you know what you know, ain't listening to Joe. They said, take my mind. All this help, but y'all didn't listening to the Little Mermaid. Now your man is crazy, yeah, because he swore he heard sex sounds on the tape. Then he made compient take send it to his family and friends. They have called you and say careful he's coming unheeded. Okay, we'll have part two of Steve's response coming up at twenty three minutes. Subjects When I say crazy, I mean crazy. We'll get back into it right after this. You're listening show, all right, Come on, Steve, Let's recap today's Strawberry Letters. Subject when I say crazy, I mean crazy. Okay, just dude to lost his rabbit, ass man to put a recorder in the house. They've been married all these years, eighteen years man for ten four beautiful daughters, he didn't decided to record her and played the tape back. All you hear is baby cooling. There some little mermaids in the background. But your husband swottered he heard sex sounds on the tape, so he made copies of the tape send them to his family and a few of our friends. They was puzzled. They advised you to watch him. Be careful, girl, he's gonna be in the trash mand something wrong with him. He's coming unhinged. So after that he started sleeping. Then he started drinking heavily. Then he told me that your last child ain't his, and he started arguments about his imagine about this imaginative boyfriend that I had. You was a stay at home mom, so he never wanted you to leave a house, and if he did, he would sniff my clothes for traces of cologne when I got home. Now, let me tell you somethout close sniffing. Close sniffing is not a trait of somebody who drinks. This man then got on some drugs. This ain't drinking. This is no longer alcohol. And I'm gonna show you how I noticed. He started sniffing clones, clothes, sniffing ain't drinking. That's a heavier drug. Now. He eventually called his mom and told her to come get him because the older daughters were afraid of his erratic behavior. He lost his job, he got arrested, was in legal trouble for a while. Them as drugs. That's not alcohol. Alcohol is different, okay. And you know this house, sir, because I know alcoholics. Oh okay, a lot of alcoholic And then I know a lot of junkies. This is junkie behind here, joking. See that was two years ago. Now he back on his feet. He'd been in counseling for three months. Counseling junkie alcohol, counseling junkie. Oh, this is how you're figuring this stuff out. O. See, that's how you're doing. He wants to come back home, but my daughters don't necessarily want him to. They're enjoy the piece and stability without him. And I say to you, ma'am, it's been three years. Yeah, it's been three years. You've done three years without this man, and he wants to come back home. Why what now? What's different? Counsel You need to find out about what the counselance for. You need to get real serious about this, because you're your kids don't even want it back. When the children got better sense than adults. If the kids don't want to do back in the house, you have to consider that. You know, am I crazy to even consider taking his paranoia behind back? Paranoia alcohol does not produce paranoia. He's been on some type of drugs, lost his job, got into legal trouble. The man was on something else. Now I don't know what he didn't put on the weed. You know, it's a little substance. You can sprinkle on the weed. You know, ain't nobody dropping nothing in drinks. That's a whole nother high. If you're sprinkling stuff in a drink, you're on another high. If you're putting it on the weed, that's a different high. If you're taking pills for someone you know a lot all my friends have been involved on a regular basis. I have recovering everything in my life. Everything, Okay, I got partners. I can't have a glass of Kanyac ground with my cigar because they'll lose the rabbit ass man oh dahn. So you're just gonna drink, you know, I'm I mean a okay, gray dog. I forgot my bad. So I'm just saying I don't know that i'd be so readily taken back. You've been separated three years. Three months versus three years is not long enough. I would let him come over and visit the kids, of course, see how that go for about a year before you even consider and see if you can get the man back. But he has to get rid of these thoughts that that ain't his child. He got to get rid of all these thoughts about who you sleeping with. Because cooling don't sound a lot like sex. If if it's just cooling, you're not having, that's not an adequate sex. Okay, that begs the question what is adequate sex? Wants? Not adequate six adequate sexy? Oh no you didn't you black? You really black, brandy? Break shock, hold on, whoa wait a minute, don't stop, get it, get it, Come on, big bath and get it. Wait you get caught up. Okay, trick me, really really back in, break me like a pancake. That's that's adequates. That's when you say it's not cooing, that's for sure. We're beyond cooing now all right, Uh, thank you Steve.

People keep asking that question, and you know, it's so hard for people to single out a group of people, but we're in a culture now that's asking to be singled out to become aware of some very very unique problems that we have as a people of color in this country. I was watching a show on the NBA and Carrie Champion was hosting it on ESPN and it was about race. And I don't know the white guy's name, but he's a reporter. He did a full report on how he feels as a white person in this country and what he's learned from black people doing this movement. It was so extremely compelling because he said, even though I'm not black, how would I feel if this were happening to me? Over and over and over again? And it really made sense. And then they had the woman on who I don't know her name, but an older lady who was a teacher who did to study. There's a video out of her asking room full of whites, raise your hand, if you would trade places and accept the behavior that's happening, accept the treatment that's happening to black people, stand up, and none of the white stood up. Say her name again, Jane Elliott, that's hurt. And then she said, no, wait, I'm sorry, maybe you misunderstood the question. I said, all of you that are white, stand up if you would trade places with black people and receive the treatment of black people. And they didn't stand up, he said. She said, well, none of you stood up, so obviously you must know how they're being treated you, and you wouldn't want it to happen to you. There's some compelling conversations that's happening now, but nothing is more compelling than the message that's being sent from the White House administration that currently holds a rank over there in the White House. The Trump administration is clearly sending the message loud and clear to black people that we don't care about you at all. We don't give a damn why you're protesting, We don't care what black lives matter to you. We will not mention black lives matter because to us, it doesn't matter. And as President Trump said, you all must be drinking the racism kool aid, because he thinks it's a drink that's concocted by liberals and and and and and and socialists. Racism is not from liberals and socialists. Racism is very, very real. But we have a president who will not address racism because he won't admit that it exists. You can't call, you can't you can't fix a problem that you won't identify as a problem. So if this man thinks there is no racism. What's there to fix? He just simply wants to get back, get America back to where it was when it was great again. When was that for us? Where was it better for us than it is today? And today ain't really good. Look at what happens to us all year long during the pandemic, which is what spurred the Black Lives Matter movement. I'm saying all of this because I'm trying to find a new way to get to you. We have to vote, We have to vote. You have to be sick and tired of this. I don't understand as a black person, how you can sit here and try to sit this one out when clearly you have the power to change this election. Black people can decide it. I heard of a Latino guys saying that Latinos can determine this election. Do you know he's right? Do you know he's absolutely correct, because if either one of us went out and voted in masses, we could change the election. Now suppose black and brown people felt the exact same way, which I don't see how we don't they kill us when they pull us over by the police. A lot of us are dying at the hands of the police unjustifiably. They've taken your docker programs. They're building walls. I don't know what else he can say to brown people that he ain't clearly saying to black people. I just don't know what else can be said, Folks, How else do you have to hear it? What? What do you need to get talked into voting? Stop saying your vote don't count. Your vote don't count when you don't cast it. That's the vote that don't count, the vote that doesn't count. It's the vote that don't get cast. We've got to vote. NBA players are begging you to vote. Major League Baseball players are begging you to vote. Race car drivers, Lewis Hamilton is begging you to vote. He don't even stay here. The dog gone. Soccer leagues are begging you to vote. Everybody's begging you to vote. I'm begging you to vote. If you want to show them that black lives matter, prove it by voting. I'm telling you nothing will send a more clear message from politics from now on. Then if we come out in serious numbers and vote and affect this election. They know where the votes are coming from. They know how to pre they counter precinct. Y'all, we can send a message to Washington, DC that will resonate for years if we just get out and vote. Damn it, vote period we have. This is serious, y'all.
