Y'all know what time of y'all don't know. Y'all back all, suit all looking back to back down, giving them like the milling buck things. And it's not doing me through good it Steve hastening to move to other for Steve hard Please, Mommy, I don't join yahya joining me. You gotta use that turning. You got to turn to turn them out, turning, got to turn out to turn turn the water the water. Y'all, come, come on your baby, that it h I share will Good morning everybody you are listening to the voice, Come on dig me now one and old is Steve Harvey got a radio show particular me this morning. Steve Harvey got a radio show feel with nothing but joy and hope about it too. You know, it's a great thing to be able to wake up in the morning with peace in your heart and joy. Peace and joy is is immeasurable. It has a value attached to it, and I have no idea what it is. It's invaluable. It is worth so much more than any amount of money you can make. Peace and joy. Um. I have not always had that. I have not always been a peaceful person or a person who lived his life in a joy spirit. It took an arrival at this moment. Some people arrive sooner than others. I wish I had arrived at this point sooner, but I think it was necessary for me to learn a few things too. That's the amazing thing I've learned about life is that instead of reflecting on your past incidences and calling them failures, instead of focusing on the negative and calling them bad times, I look at them now as experiences. I had to have those experiences that were negative, that were good, positive, wrong, even I had to have all those experiences to become to shape who we are today. We all have to have them. If you look back at all the negative experiences you've had, all the things that you called failures, all the businesses I started that went under, all of the jobs I had that I was fired from, all the shows that were canceled, all of the times I thought I was gonna get something happened in my way and turned out I didn't get it at all. When you look at all of it, all of it, hopefully along the way, what you have done as a person is you've taken those negatives and those failures and you've used them for what they actually are. They are experiences, and they've now created in you an experienced person, and you know that is worth something. That's then it becomes a positive. But what too many people do is they let the negative things that have happened in their life. They allow the failures that have happened in them lives never to manifest themselves as experiences. And you sit up there and you dwell on it, and you dwell on it until you have this woe is me attitude. Stop looking at it like that, y'all. You go through things in order to become the person that you are today. I'll tell you who you sometimes have to sit down and talk to. Sometimes you are to sit down to an inmate that really gets it. An inmate that says, man, I've actually heard inmates say it to me and write to me, and they've said things like, man coming to prison, save my life. Now, those of you have never got how can he say a thing like that? But some men, no, Man, I was so far out there that if I had stayed out there, I wouldn't even be here today. This actually allowed me to stop and spend some time with myself and learn some things about me. Now does that happen for everybody like that now. But here's a person who was taking an experience that could be considered a failure or a negative and turning it into a positive and using it to enrich their lives. You can do it no matter what your set of circumstances is. I recommend to everybody that you try changing your outlook in order to change your outcome. Anything that happens to you that's negative or you consider a failure their experiences. You've got to go through these things in order to have the knowledge that you have today. So I wish that I had come to this arrival that I may now this place of peace and joy. But then guess what, I would not know what I know. I could not share some of the things that I'm able to share if I had not gone through some of them. And sometimes that's the purpose of them, is to teach you a lesson because you know, God has a plan for you, He really really does, and eventually he can use you no matter how old you are, and he can use you no matter how young you are. If you just say, okay, I'm ready to hear your plan. I've tried mine, Mine ain't worked out. Mine was not a good plan. What's your plan for me? God, what do you want me to do? That's why I say every day Steve Harvey got radio show, y'all, because Man, I ain't see it coming. I didn't see that coming. I ain't see this book coming. I ain't seen I ain't seen half of it. In May, things that are happened to me, I didn't plan them. I was sitting there, man, asking God for some direction. And then I got smart enough to stay watchful, be a hard worker. Now because faithful, our works is there and it came. And I remind you of this. God has given all of you a gift. Every last one of you listening has a gift. God has never created a soul that he did not provide a gift to. God gives everyone a gift, and a gift is not just singing, rapping entertainment. The richer gifts are much more than that. Teachers are gifted people who really have the gift of sharing information. That's a gift, you know, and in that you can become great. You know a lot of people people think that successful and greatness is the same thing. Cornell West said it at my daughter's graduation. He was a spokesperson. He said something so pointed. He said, don't ever confuse success with greatness. The two have nothing to do with each other. See, people determine success about money and fame, and all is here but greatness. Greatness ain't got nothing to do with your money. It ain't got nothing to do with your fame. It's how you conduct your life. It's how meaningful and significant you become in your community, at your church, on your job, to the club scout unit that you run, to the little girls lives that you change, that that little center in the hood. Who are you? Just one place of hope to so many people and they come back. And I used the example of Lou Danzler who passed away in LA who had the Boys and Girls Challenges Club out in La. And he wasn't a rich man at all, and if you walk by him, you wouldn't even know who he was. But if you look at all the people who have gone on to become politicians, who have gone on to become CEO's, who have gone on to become athletes, that have passed through this man's small building in the hood in La, he was great and all of you have greatness in you at something. It's just you got to submit yourself to God and say, Okay, what was your planing for me? Certainly it wasn't to become an inmate. Certainly, it wasn't to become a drug dealer. Certainly it wasn't to become a womanizer. Certainly it wasn't to become a stripper. Certainly God didn't create you for this. He had a plan for you. He just waiting on you to ask him what it is. And when you're praying about it, that's when the change comes in your life that you could open up yourself and submit yourself and say, Hey, God, what is this for me? And you ain't got to be perfect, because please know I ain't. I ain't even close. But guess what what they got to do? With you loving God and God loving you? Trust me? Man? Prayer changes things. I said all the time. But when you see people become successful or great, that as somebody praying somewhere may not even be them. Maybe it's their mama. You know, I think of Tiger Woods and all the greatness he's accomplished. You know, they always talk about it. It's farther than all this here. Somebody somewhere praying for Tiger Woods. I got cash money riding on that Tiger Woods. Mama is a praying woman or something. My mother was. She prayed me into this place because she should call me all the time, praying for your boy. You know what, No, you know you can always come here and get yourself some neat and your daddy has said you can come in here. Always need a place to sleep, you can come here. She was always praying for me. And prayer changes things. It really does. Try it today. It can change you. It has changed millions of people. Open up yourself to the greatness that's in you because God is giving you a gift. Now the fact that you ain't using it. Who fought you think that is? I'm just telling you you got one, and if you start praying about it, it'll manifest itself and you can become one or two things, successful or great or both. You can make the decision. Today. You're listening, ladies and gentlemen, boys and girls. But I have your undivided attention. Please, as I do every day, I ask for this because we need it. This is the Steve Harvey Morning Show. It starts kind of like this every day, but then sometimes I flip the script because I just feel like him. This is the one format that offers me the freedom where people can get more of an insight of what Steve Harvey really thinks. This is not family few, This is not a little big shot. This is not the daytime talk show that has me in a bubble. You get a closer view of how I really am, Ladies and gentlemen, This here is me, surely Strawberry. Hey, realness, realness, what's happening? One hundred's what's up? One hundred facts? Just facts that Junior on vacation and Jay come in here when he wants to Tom May, I'm in the building, baby, right here, Let's get it. It's thirds yes sir, Yes, all right, man, alright, alright, what do you do today? Talking about the president? What don't he do? Bro? Hey, man, let me tell you something. After the speech the other night, the whole speech about unity, bipartisan, you know it's gonna be so good, uh the world. Uh, you know, we just want to reach across the house and do more. We want to eradicate cancer from kids. We want both parties to negotiate and everything. Next day, he called Adam's Shiff. He called him a duel Yeah, yeah, yeah, yesterday he called him a derogatory name. What did he call this man? Let me see, I didn't see much much news today. I wouldn't and I just walked past the TV and then was President Trump calls Adams Shiff something. Need I need an ft on that name? You dropping that him? Make it stronger from me? You think the man's last name is Adam. I'm just saying Steve missing that Adam ship chef. Yeah, he thinks he's saying something else, he says, he said, he's all, what do you say? Yes, I didn't see that. I didn't see that. I saw the highlights of the speech. They kept talking about that. Why does he keep surprising y'all? I don't get Trump? Oh, the president political? Um, he doesn't surprise me. No, no, no, over him. Well, well, I'm gonna take that back. He do surprise me sometimes, Well, he does surprise me. I mean he is very surprising. You would not think what he says actually is from the president's mouth, our president, the president of his country's mouth. After the first sea he consistent, No, but he keeps taking into another level. You go, I mean time and timey can we're going. Can you believe? He says that. Can you believe he said that? You know, I mean, this is all I've been surprised a few times by this dude. Okay, I really did? I think? He called him a political Yeah? All right, listen, coming up at thirty two. Yeah, coming up at thirty two after the hour, guys, George Clinton p funk. George Clinton is ready to say goodbye to the road. We'll talk about it right after this some some moments right after this you're listening to well Steve your man. George Clinton says he's ready to say goodbye to the road. Okay, He's almost seventy eight years old. He's a legendary performer. Needless to say, he just announced his final tour with Parliament Funkadelic DAB the One Nation Under a Groove tour. I love it, he says. I would love to keep on doing this, but I'll be seventy eight in a few more months. That's what he told Rolling Stone, a magazine. He said, even though I feel like I'm just getting started, the reality is the group needs to go ahead and keep it going. We've got a new vibe in the band. And they've been carrying it for the last three years. I've been up there representing for the people, representing for people, but they've actually been turning the place out. They've actually been turning the place out. And we've been selling out for the last five years every night. So Steve, I mean, I know p Funk is one of your favorite groups of all time. George Clinton made I know, I hear him. Let's go boom boom. Well all right, boom boom boom. Oh we're about to take off now, boom boom boom. Here we go on the one too. Let's go make my funk the p funk. I want to get funked up. Make my funk the p funk. I want my funk. Hunt cut, I want the bomb, I want the pe funk. I want my funk. Step turn, Oh, make my funk the p funk. Want my funk. He boom boom, Well all right, what about the Atomic Dog though, Steve, you can't. I'm just right. I know that you be not find that right now in the middle of this bit, right now, you can't play that man be not find that right now and dropped the thing in hill And we don't want to hear all that bar. You know it's coming too early. You tell me you were a diaper to the concert. I'm done here. Oh we're not gonna play all that with this flash. We got to drop this flash, like please please for the cappa. He doesn't agree with that. Yes, boy, let me tell you. Boy, I'm sophomore year. I got my cane. I'm trying to get to the floor. You don't understand. We're going around the room. Yes, just don't drop your cane. Just don't drop it. Don't drop it. You what seed you're mumbling? They don't know. I don't say. They don't mention. They don't have to mention. The cappa can hear you? Why you? But they've adopted that song. Well about now, sir, they probably have a young guys probably have a different thing. So but in my era, this was the song. There is no other song for the cues. Okay to this day, well, they haven't made another dog. So they make another dog. Ain't no more that will forever go down. And they wrote it for me about the dog, famous dog, a rhythmic dog, atomic dog. I didn't even know that was for me. And then I messed around, Oh this is a story about a dog, famous dog, rhythmic dog, atomic dog. Why must I feel like that? Why must I chase the cat? Nothing but the dog? George Clinton, he is a legend, obviously seventy eight years old. And so for the younger generation that's listening, how can you break it down as to the type of music, the funk and what he bought to the stage in the concert experience. I've never been to a concert. Oh I have? Have I have? Oh? Yes, you leave out of the exhausted to me? Really, dog, you ain't seen Mothership old. I never saw the Mothership. I saw you know, I saw the album covers. I never went to a concert. Wow. Man. First of all, I'm looking at you a little differently. First of all, George made famous the instrument called moog Prodigy, the move prodigy. It looked like a guitar, but it was a keyboard. But he set it down and he could. He had it had a bind wheel on it. He made it famous in a lot of his songs, Awkward Buggie. He dismoved prodigy with different sounds. They created a funk sound. They were the creators of funk. Now, other groups had various forms, but the richest, most soulful form of funk ever created in music came from George Clinton Parliament Funkadelic. It was almost rock and roll to funk, but they took all the rock and roll and turned it into rock and soul funk. And it was ugly man like that, and they had boys playing with them. That was that was dog On, Nasty Macio, Damn Bussi College. They had people back that man could play instruments and Parliament Funkadelic man created a funk in the seventies that was never been matched. And you can't know what they were until you saw a lot, but if you listen to the albums, it was all over there. It was such a new contorted sense of funk. Lord Jesus, Yeah, that's my favorite. So that's my favorite favorite from them all right. Coming up next it is the Man Who's Never Seen Parliament Funkadelic Live Loser. Yeah. This Little Boy even named a break after after one of their songs, Aqua Puggy Run That breakback coming up with the Nephew right after this Can't Believe You Never you're listening coming up at the top of the album, We're in Entertainment News we're gonna tell you about motown sixty and the oscars are still hostless.

Virginia's governor, or, the lieutenant governor, and its attorney general, all Democrats, all facing allegations of misconduct right now.

Who is setting only they gonna mess where I had to close Virginia Legislate. But nobody up there, sde What did the governor say about that shoe polished? Though? One more time? You know when I did, Michael Jackson, I want to put a little bit under each eye, because everybody knows how hard it is get black shoe polish off your faith. Everybody doesn't know. I'm sorry, I've never had no at all. I've found hell getting it off my finger tips right after polishing my shoes where it belongs. All right, listen, let's get back to the State Attorney General of Virginia, Mark Herring. He's admitted that he too has worn black face. He says that he wore an afro wig and makeup as part of a costume as a rapper at a party at the University of Virginia back in nineteen eighty. Most recently, he probably said, well, they're gonna find out anyway, so they digging up pictures. But let me go on, come on, and I'm so sorry. Most recently, of course, we just talked about Governor Ralph Nordom. He came under fire with his page in a medical school yearbook surface showing someone in black face and another person wearing a KKK hood and robe, and then Lieutenant Governor Justin Fairfax has been hit with a sexual assault allegation, though he denies that was that in black face. I mean, come on, it's ridiculous. Well he's black. Yes, it was in school, in school. If you're a theater, amazing, you gotta take senor mean, you gotta take costume, you gotta take makeup. They got makeup, all right, that's that matches our tones. Yes, I ain't never seen nobody with no damn shoe polish. That's that's the trip part. Yeah, the black face is to put the extra spin on it. And what some people don't understand is black face. That's what white people did to mock us in theater because they didn't want no blacks in the theater. So the act of black they put extra big lips on it, real black mak When we come back, just let me tell you something real quick about the Apollo Theater, all right, and coming up at thirty four after the hour, we're also going to tell you about this brand new theory that the godfather of soul, James Brown, was murdered. That's coming up right after this you're listening to. We're gonna get into the James Brown story in just a moment. I know you guys are waiting for that, But Steve, you wanted to finish the thought you had earlier. You know what, See, the black face was so it's so so insulting to African Americans because it was used to mock us back in the day. Not only did that was such a hatred for black people you're seeing it today even and when you bring it up, you bring that period up, but it was also kept us out of theater because we weren't allowed to be in theater. So when when they wanted to show a black they always put them up in a demeaning way by putting black shoe polish on their face, big pink lips, and the black faced person was always this bumbling, slow, simple minded person, was their perception of black people at that time. Quick story, Polo Theater. The reason you have the stump in the Apollo Theater is because one twenty fifth Street was widened now and they had to chop down the Tree of Hope. The Tree of Hope stood on one hundred and twenty fifth Street, where all entertainers stood, tappers, hoofers, singers, dancers, and all Broadway hopefuls stood there. And they stood up under the tree of Hope because every day on Broadway when a white performer, when a white performers came ill or twisted ankle or something, the producers of the show drove up to Harlem and picked from the tree of hope. All the actors and actresses and singers and dancers and hoofers and tappers stood under the tree, and they called it the Tree of Hope because they hoped they got picked where they could pick blacks, because they knew black people could come and learn these steps and all these dance moves in a matter of thirty forty minutes because to black people, what they were doing down there in Broadway wasn't a boy nothing. So they could get these blacks to come down here, and they put all the blacks in white face, because blacks weren't allowed to perform on Broadway. So now they took the black person and made them white. So then when you take a white person and make them over the top shoe polish black, when you degraded us and kept us from opportunity and marked us as being slow and marked us as being simple minded and incapable of full thoughts. That's what black face do to black people. And from the follow you when you knew we were the gift it was, and you picked us up from the tree or hope, and you took us down the Broadway because we could learn your little Shirley Temple steps. Oh so quick, Look dance moves y'all been working on all month. We could knock them down in fifteen twenty minutes. You put white makeup on all these black skinned people so you wouldn't even so no one would know they was black. But you needed them. And so when they cut the tree down, the performance said, no, this tree is our hope. It's got to go to the showtime with the Apollo. And that's why it sits on that stage. And that's when you bring your ass around that corner. You better rubbed that long. I'm on, come on, that's the tree. You're welcome. That is a Black history moment, Steve Harvey Morning Show. I've been a hallom man. I learned from these people. Ha hallam made me. I'm Cleveland made, I'm watch West Virginia produced, but I'm made in Cleveland, but Hallom made me the entertainer I am today.

Take your drawls, put them on and go up to the Apolo Theater. You finn't find out how good you are. Right.

We got it for you here. It is the Strawberry Letter. Subject my ex wife ran my fiance off. Dear Stephen Shirley, I am in a desperate need of advice. I was engaged here for you. I was engaged to be married, but my fiance and I recently split up after my ex wife caused a whole lot of problems in our relationship. When my ex heard I was engaged, she called me. I told her that I was extremely happy and excited to get remarried. My said that she was happy for me and wished me met wished me well, which was a big lie. Oh, this ain't about me. Feet never said nothing. A few days after we talked, well, listen and listen. Keep listening, keep listening. No, this is not me. Okay, cool head, keep listening. I'm trying to ignorant, right, said she was happy for me and wished me well. Well. It was a big he said, it was a big lie. A few days after we talked, this this must be will Smith go ahead, because they had that great relationship, all the people sitting together talking and stuff. All right, here we go. A few days after we talked, my ex created a new Facebook page named it the Thompsons and posted a bunch of old pictures from our wedding and family vacations. My fiance's mother saw the Facebook page and showed it to my fiance, and that's when everything hit the fan. I told my fiance that, yes, I talked to my ex because she called me. I didn't call her. I told my fiance that I had no idea that the Facebook page existed because I don't deal with my ex wife at all. My fiance didn't believe me, so she called my ex, and my ex gave her an earful of lies. She told my fiance that I still try to see her and that we are still in love with each other and talk often. Of course, my fiance was all confused and didn't know who to believe, so she called off the wedding and we broke up. My X found out about her breakup and claimed she felt awful about it, so she sent my fiance an email admitting that she lied about everything and she was sorry that she interfered. My fiance still doesn't want to marry me and we barely talk at all now. Even though my ex admitted she was lying, I'm still suffering from what she did. Can you please for some advice on how I can get my lady back. I cannot stand my ex wife for this, but I'm going to let God deal with her. I just want my fiance back. Please help. Yeah, yeah, this is this is this is funky, funky funky right here. I don't I don't like your ex wife. I'm just gonna put that out there. Don't like her at all. She's a stuff starter. She's a very negative person. She doesn't care who she hurts. Yeah, you know what, I mean, she doesn't care how many lives she destroys, how many lives she tells, she doesn't care, she's cage, she's tricky, all of that. It's just so wrong on so many levels what she did. And you're right, you're right. I'm gonna go with you when you say you're gonna let God deal with her, because it's not. It's it's not really about her. It's not really about her. It's just never about It's not about your ex. This is about your most recent X, your X fiance, because there was a problem in your relationship. There had to be some kind of problem on her part that you didn't know about in your relationship, a trust issue. How can she let this X just come out of nowhere? Do all this stuff make her doubt you? Okay, and do all these things and believe this woman over you and you guys are making wedding plans here. Okay. Yeah, she can be confused, but to just throw it all away over what she said, especially the woman gave her an email and said she was lying, but she doesn't know what to believe. I don't know if you're gonna ever get this woman back. I really don't, because the trust is broken on her part. She doesn't trust you because your x X did so much damage, and you know, I mean, I'm sure you've done everything a man could do to prove to her that this is not true. You told her you didn't talk to her, call her, You told her that you told her the ex called you. You told her all that she wasn't buying any of it. I guess there was too much evidence that she saw with the Facebook page and the pictures and all of that. The problem I think is with your most recent ex fiance excuse me, and not trusting you, and not knowing what to believe, and not wanting to go further in this relationship. Steve Shelly, I agree with you one. I think you've hit it spot on. Yeah, he in trouble could yeah, yes, Yeah, he washed up. He he on the banks. He a fish that they got washed up on shore and it's low tig. He just he needed water back in desperately because he died. Yeah, he loved this girl. Shelly is really spot on. This is the straw that broke the camel's back. You all have had trust issues before. This was the one thing she couldn't tape what your ex did was devastating because your ex formed a Facebook page called the Thompsons. Here's your problem. The girl mama found out about it. The girl mama found out all people on Facebook. She would have done it on vine is the gram stamp chat never would have come to life. But you put it on Facebook. That's where old asked people ask. So her mama found it. This is the basis of all your troubles because her mama didn't just show it to you. Her mama has showed it to everybody, and it caused you so much embarrassment and humiliation. Caused your ex that she can't face the crowd. So now your question is what do I do when we come back? I got it for you. But yeah, the words of Marvin Gaye's song to his ex wife Janet, you were my wife, my flower, my hopes, my dreams, And for you to understand what this means, I shall explain. I will stood all your jealousies, yes, and your two but I forget it all once in bed with you. But oh do Holly Hocky, we end the life alright, Marvin here, okay, all right, Steve sings us out of this uh this letter right here, We'll be back with his second response at twenty three after the hours, subject my ex ran off my fiance. We'll be right back right after this. You're listening, all right, Steve. Please let's recap today's Strawberry letter and get to your response. Subject my ex wife ran my fiance off. This dude's ex wife, he found out that he was engaged, called him and told me that she was happy and excited for me. And my ex said that she was happy for me and wished me well, he said, which was a big life. A few days later, we talked my ex. A few days after we talked, his ex wife created a brand new Facebook page and called it to Thompson's and posted a bunch of old picts that they win and family vacation. Then this dude's fiances mama saw the Facebook page, showed it to my fiance. His damn mama. See her damn mama in it. This is why you can't get your girl back, man, because she under the scrutiny. Her mama. Look at this on Facebook, Sister Claire, re see this arline hasn't seen it. I can't go know where everybody has seen this? Here this man and asking you like that, and now your friends and found out about it because you took it to your friends, and your friends have been commenting on it. Girl, this is new so now and then you, I don't know why you told her that child talked. I talked to my ex because she caught when everything hit the fan. I told my fiance that, yes, I talked to my ex because she called me. I didn't call her. I told my fiance I had no idea that the Facebook page existed because I don't deal with my ex at all. Your fiance didn't believe you, man, so she called my axe. She called your ex, and your ex gave her an ear full of lies. Oh man, see hit this? Why you dog that? Man? Hell hath no fury like a woman scorn? Now? I thought, hell hath no fury like a woman scoring? I really thought for years until it surely told me last year that that's not a script. And then I wanted to have a meeting with all the theologians and all of them to see if we could get it put in. I put nothing. I just think it's something ought to be in there. Why that ain't there there? And so they told me I couldn't do that, so I got off of that. So you're so she told your ex wife said that y'all still in love, that you try to see her, see his a key, still try to see her. If the girl had something on you seeing her, she wouldn't have said you still try to see her. She just said, I got texas, I got pictures because you gotta text, somebody gotta picture. You gotta have phone wreckers. They don't have that on your dog. She lied and said, I still try to see her, and then we're still in love with each other and we talk often where the phone records. Of course, my fiance was all confused and didn't know who to please, so she called off the wed and we broke up. She broke up because of that phone call and her damn mama, wait what her damn mama, mama man man a man now you over there, trying to explain that she's standing behind her daughter with her own folk, with her lips perched. Of course, my fiance, my ex, found out about our break up and claimed she felt awful about it, so she sent my fiance an email admitting that she lied about everything and she was sorry that she interfered my fiance still don't want to marry me and we barely talk it on. See, that's crazy, man. Even though my ex admitted she was lying, I'm still suffering from what she did. Can you please offer some advice I get my lady back. I cannot stand my ex wife for this, but I'm going to let God deal with her. I just want my fiance back. All right, dall, here you go. First of all, I want you to take this notion to her. If she said try to see her, what's prevented her from seeing her? If she say, y'all still in love with each other, your ex would see you, but she didn't. Also, man, phone records exist. Pull up your phone records, man, and show you ain't had no conversations with this woman an extensive so excuse me. See you're saying he needs proof to show if he has a physical evidence. Okay, we're trying to get your girl back. She gonna love the fact that you worked as hard to research. See a thirty second phone call. You can't arrange nothing in thirty seconds. That's hey, what you're doing? Hey, Look, I ain't got time. I want to talk to you. Click See a lot of times call you play it off, you understand.

All right, guys, we got to get out of here. You can email us or instagram us your thoughts on today's Strawberry Letter. At Steve Harvey FM. Coming up in about ten minutes, we're going to tell you about this new mystery surrounding the death of James Brown, the Godfather of soul. Was he murdered? We'll talk about it right after this. You're listening to this Dave Harvey Morning Show. All right, boy, this story right here hit everybody, I think in the gut. Now, you remember when James Brown died back in two thousand and six, in December, I think it was right before Christmas or on Christmas Day. His official cause of death was said to be congestive heart failure resulting in complications from pneumonia. But it seems a lot of people just don't believe that. They're not buying that. In fact, a brand new CNN investigation reveals that at least thirteen people suspect foul play in connection with the Godfather of Soul's death. Nearly one hundred and forty people were interviewed for the and an investigation, with over a dozen people calling for either a criminal investigation into his death or for an autopsy to be done on his exhumed body. And these aren't just fans questioning his cause of death. Doctor Marvin Crawford, who signed mister Brown's death certificate, now says he has doubts that James Brown died from natural causes and actually thinks he may have overdosed. Actually he can't say whether whether it was Well, what do you signed a destitute people, Well, he signed a death certificate because there was he died. Yeah, But don't you have to sign a death certificate with cause on it? You have to say why what you think the cause of death was? Yes, and so at the time he thought it was natural causes. He now says he doubts that James Brown died from natural causes, and he actually thinks he may have overdosed, although he can't say whether it was accidental or not. That's what doctor Crawford saying. His job was simply to sign a death certificate. He didn't do autopsies of them that obviously. No, they haven't done an autopsy yet. Doctor Crawford treated James Brown at an Atlanta hospital and says he believes that mister Brown's condition changed too fast. He died that night, and I did raise that question what went wrong in that room, other people questioning, other people questioning mister Brown's cause of death. Point to his personal manager, Charles Bobbitt, who says he was the only one with him. He heard James Brown complaining that his chest was on fire before he laid down and died. The police never opened a criminal investigation when mister Brown died back in two thousand and six, nor did they perform an autopsy at the request of his family. Now, if you want more details on a story, you can go to CNN dot com. This is thirteen years later. Yeah, yeah, this is sad. So I'm sitting here and I'm thinking after thirteen years. Why is this just not coming out as it's somebody running wild with a conspiracy theory and now because it makes news and you can get eyeballs, here comes is this CNN dot com or something? Yeah, that's what I just said. You can get more details on CNN dot com And there's an investigation though, Steve. It's a lot of information. They interviewed a lot of people, so it's not bloggish. It's more of like a documentary on a website. They didn't show it on TV, so it's information and you're trying to find out why did it get started? Who's started it? With a woman involved to here's my question. A documentary on a website? Say that? So now let me ask you something. Is that an official police investigation or this is just some people investigate it? That's my only question. Well, they're saying the police never opened a criminal investigation back when he died in two thousand and six. So this is what I want to be weary of. I just want to be conscious of this. I want us to just think, why is this just not coming out? You know, people can write anything and post it and make it sound like, oh so factually news worthy, but I think until you get a police investor reopen the case. Well, let's just say this now, we all know CNN is a credible news source. We do know that they are. Well. It says nearly one hundred and forty people were interviewed for this investigation by CNN, with over a dozen more calling for either they're calling for a criminal investigation or for an autopsy to be done. So that it took us three years to put after he died, to put him in there. Yeah, he was offinded, go back. His body was out a very long time. Yes, it was. Yeah, so a lot. He has a lot of witnesses and information. It's a lot of information that they're talking about with this particular case. And why wasn't an autopsy ordered from the family, because, yeah, they have to request in autopsy. They don't just automatically do it. Are you saying the family autopsy? They did not. They did not request one. That's why they didn't do it. They did get one. Huh, he was out long enough to get he was in the front yard. He was in the in the front room. Are you guys serious right now? Surely James in the front yard for months. I know that, but come on, we don't say it, don't say what it was. I was tried, Shirley. What really, guys, really, especially you you.

I don't know the route, but I know they specifically the body has to be down centime. Black people. All a sudden, you just up in the front yard on the tent with some lights. Man. Come on. Yeah, So, anyway to answer your question, the police, as I said, the police never opened a criminal investigation when he died. Because you guys are taking it some place. We're trying to be serious here, We're taking it. He was out for old at the request of his family. They did not perform an autopsy. If you want more details, go to CNN dot com. We'll be back with reality Update and Carla right after this. You guys, you're listening to Steve Harvey Morning Show. I'm ready, I'm ready, and she is ready.

You know they, you know, in the celebrity big Brother in the house, they all try to make these alliances so they could kind of like all stick together. So it was Cato, you know, comedian Tom Greene, and Lolo and they get the strongest out right. Yeah, that's that's what you should do if you're smart about it. But guess who got some strategy?

Well guess who didn't do the challenge at all? That damn Kato because he don't know where the kids turning. He didn't have to do he didn't, he was he was exempted. But guess who didn't do it.

Yeah, come on now, Marvin. Motown twenty five was the greatest music special in the history of Yes, Motown twenty five was greater than any Grammys we've ever seen. Michael Jackson and the Jackson's performance was the Grammys. The greatest. Two greatest Grammy performances I've ever seen Michael Jackson at the Grammys. I think it was the Grammys one year he did Smooth Criminal. His sister Janet stood up and was just crying. And then when Michael Jackson did Man in the Mirror with the choir behind him at the Grammys. The next greatest Grammy performance I ever saw Kendrick Lamar. Oh, Kidrick Lamar's performance at the Grammys the other year was one after Michael Jackson. I've never seen nothing greater than that with you when you're right now. And I called him and told him that, man, Oh what did he say? Hey, you didn't even tell us? What do you say? Oh, man, uncle? Oh yeah, he was a good brother. Man. Man, I'm calling my grandmama. Man, Steve Harvey call. That has to be that has to be something special for the young guys out there now to get love from you, Steve. I'm sure you know you know, man, the ones that's respectful. You know, everybody's not respectful, and I get that, you know. I mean, here's a deal though with me as a man. You don't have to like me. You really don't respect though, but you do have to respect me though, and you should respect me. And because I respect everybody's body of work, I respect everybody's existence in this world. I respect you. You may not be my dude. You know, we ain't hanging or nothing like that, but there's a lot of people I don't hang with that I respect. Well, let me say this though, all y'all that's calling him uncle, I'm gonna let that slide. Okay, I'm gonna let that slide. But y'all do have your own damn uncles. Ain't y'all family? Y'all do? Why y'all ain't holiday at them? I'm just saying your own uncle. Man? Wait, set though, did you not say otis Williams and temptations? Uh? Anybody coming to see you? All? Right? Coming up the last break of the day, Steve will have some closing remarks for us. Don't go anywhere. We'll be back at forty nine minutes after the hour, right after this you're listening to all right, Steve, it's been a good day. We've had fun today, talked about a lot, a lot, a lot of stuff. But you have more stuff to take us home with today with your closing remarks. What you got for Steve? Well my remarks today? Uh is it light of all the news that's been on television and for us as regular people, how do we how do we manage it all? How do we inter how do we decipher it to fit into our lives? And one of the things that I watch all these politicians and politics is it's not a really clean profession. To me, it's so it's so doggish, man, it's so cutthroat. It seems so hypocritical at times, and everybody, if you're in a certain party, you all feel the same way. And I just don't believe that to be true. I just don't really believe that. I think that people in politics state take stances with their group so that they can have power as a unit. Nobody agrees with everything anybody does. I don't have yet to meet that person, and so I don't want us to take a page from politics. I'm talking about forgiveness. You know, this whole thing about their going in people's past and they and they holding them accountable for it. I want us to remember something. Remember when you were little and you would taught the Lord's Prayer, and there's a line in that says, forgive us our trust passes, as we forgive those who trust passed against us. The other version is forgive us our debts, as we forgive our debtors. I was taught to believe that what that meant was when you say, God, forgive us our trust passes, as we forgive those who trust passed against us. I was taught by my mother, who was a Sunday school teacher, that that meant that we are going to trustpass. She says, son, you are going to cross a line of where you're not supposed to go, be due or see, and you are going to cross that line. You are going to have to ask God for forgiveness for those those trestpasses for all the times, little Stevie, that you will cross that line into territories and things that you're just not supposed to do. So when you go to God and you ask God for forgiveness of those trustpasses. The next line says, as we forgive those who trestpass against us, so God holds us accountable. This is what my mother taught me. You may have a whole nother interpretation. That's you. I'm just telling you. So. She said, when people do real wrong and cross your line, the way you forgive them is the way God is going to forgive you. She said, that's what that line me. She says, So if you want to ask God for forgiveness, you're going to have to be more forgiving. She said. You can't hold grudges, and you can't hold people today mistakes and ask God to forgive you for your mistakes. She said, that's what that line in that prayer me. And you say that every night because you're gonna do a lot of wrong. And Lord her mercy, was she right about that? So in light of what my mother taught me as a little boy, and I've tried to carry that on and I haven't always been good at it, I want you to know I held something malice in my heart for a guy for seven years. For seven years, I held malice in my heart for this guy. Probably not that long but I think it's about seven as I remember, give or take a few. But I had to one day forgive him. And I learned on the day that I let it go, the relief that I felt. And as I've grown older, I've learned that forgiveness is not for the other person. See you're sitting up here here that I ain't gonna ever forgive him. I'm not gonna ever let them off the hook. What they did to me, I'm gonna make them pay. So now what it caused me to do, was it caused me I have to put thought and energy into that. Every time I heard his name, every time I heard he was over here, over there, every time something happened. Man, I had to conjure up his name and what I was gonna do when I saw it. Bishop Jake's told me, not forgiving a person, It's like you drinking the poison, waiting on them to die. So what I'm saying all of this is to say this, we need to be forgiving us people. We need to understand that the past tresgressions of people. Who are we to hold people accountable to that? That's the amazing thing? Who are we? You ever heard the phrase people who live in glass houses shouldn't throw stones, you know. So I'm sitting up here going all of us are gonna be in need, are currently in need, or we'll need or have needed God's forgiveness. But we can't seem to muster up none for nobody else. So I keep hearing my mama all the time, forgive us our trust passes, and we've gived those to trust pass against us. I want us to not take a page from politics, because politics has political reasons for bringing up a person's path. They want a seat in the house, they want to try to get control of this state, and they keep bringing up stuff from people's past to bury them. Currently. That's a dangerous slope we've got on. So for those of us that's not in that business, stay out of that business. Be forgiving because you two are going to need forgiveness one day and God is going to forgive you the same way you forgive others. So we all need to be a little bit careful. Just think about that in your day to day. Okay, I just want to say that to you today. Oh that's what I want to say today, by drop it. Yeah, that was as everyone should forgive you're absolutely right. I'm telling you manager, it serves no purpose. Yeah, I don't ever want to go back in y'all's pass and bring something up and say y'all for all. Steve Harvey contests No purchase necessary, void where prohibited.
