Today's show is pre recorded. Y'all know what time y'all don't know, y'all a sun giving them like the million buck things in the cubbing Good Steve to the mother, I don't join joining. You gotta use that turn you go, you gotta turn to turn them out. Turn you haven't got to turn them out? Then turn the water the water go. Come come on your baby now. Uh huh, I sure will come on. Everybody, y'all listen to the voice. Come on, dig me now, one and only Steve Harvey. Uh how the radio show? Yep, yep? Sometimes saw all I can say yelp, Man, how far I've come is really unbelievable. But you know I finally figured it out. Man. God allowed me to have the life I've had so that I can become experienced at so many different things. And then this experience when I'm talking and sharing with people, I will be able to relate to a lot of different circumstances. Not exact, but just the circumstances. You know. You know, if a person comes to men, they say, man, I've been down and out. Okay, Well I know what that is. Man. I didn't I didn't have any direction Okay, got that been there man. At one point in time, Man, I just kept piling mistake on top of mistakes. Okay, So you know, I think what I'm trying to say to everybody is when you're going through life and life is dealing the cards that it deals, I want you to understand that life deals everybody these cards. The disappointment card, the setback card, the failure card, the mishap card, the unexpected misery card. Everybody gonna get, the grief card, everybody gonna get, the rash of bad decision card, everybody gonna get them. Understand that going in that everybody is gonna get these cards. It's how you play them, though, you know, from time to time, one more time, it's how you play them, you know. From time to time when I'm watching TV, I love to watch the World Series of Poker. I like watching poker tournaments on TV because it's it's really weird, what's happened to a sport? To a poker they're actually trying to call it a sport, you know, And as the everyday guy that doesn't have to be athletically inclined to anything, who has a shot of winning a title if they play their cards right. The best poker players in the world don't have the best hands, They just make the best plays. I've seen guys win a hand with nine two in their hand as nothing and win their hand because they knew the bluff, they knew the odds, they calculated risks, they made the stakes higher than the other person was willing to pay. They gave off the illusion that they had something with an actuality. They had nothing. So what I what I enjoy about poker and watching it is that these people, these people here, played the hand they dealt and it ain't always a good hand. But it ain't whether your hand is good. And it ain't whether you're gonna get dealt bad cards or not. Because you're gonna get dealt some bad cards. Everybody ain't finna get two bullets in their hand. You ain't gonna get two aces when you get dealt. Uh. You know, when you play a draw poker, some of your cards gonna be nothing. But you got to turn that nothing into something. So when you get dealt these cards in life, it ain't the fact that you're getting keep getting them dealt. I was talking with a young person yesterday and we were talking and we keep having the same conversation over and over and over, and they could not understand why they were not moving forward. But I said, you don't understand. Every time we talk, we have the exact same conversation. It is simply because you keep getting your cards and you playing them the same way. See. Until you make a conscientious different, the conscious decision to do something different, the results will continue to be the same. See here's the way this works. When you're dealt to disappointments in life, it's how you handle the disappointments that determine the outcome and who you are. Because everybody gonna be disappointment, Everybody gonna lose a love one, Everybody gonna make a bad decision, Everybody gonna end wake up one morning they have done something they regretted. Everybody gonna get caught at the wrong time. Every everybody gonna make a mistake. It ain't just you. That is how you play your cards when they get dealt to you, that determine who you are. Na, how do I play my cards better? First of all, it's a mindset. Quit looking at everything as just the end when it happens to you, Oh lord, woe is me? Nah, everybody got your comstances somewhere. It ain't old. Woe is me? It's hold on, man, Okay, let me play this out to see how God then connected this to something else. See, as soon as a person have a setback, what's the first thing A lot of people do, They go straight negative. I can't see him to get a break. I can't see him move forward. Hold on, man, do you realize this could be connected to something? See you got to understand, man, that this thing is all connected. That you're not having these mishaps and these spills and accidents and falls for no reason. It's so you can become experienced at them. So when he takes you to the next level, when it happens again, you have no how and how to handle it. If you keep throwing yourself off the cliff every time something happened, you're just gonna be a cliff diver. Man, Stop tripping yourself out. I was talking to this young person. I kept saying, and you know what they try to tell me. I'm trying to stay positive. But the people around here they're just killing that. Oh. I see. So when you learn something and you know something, you don't take ownership of it. You allow other people to come into what you know and believe and shake it loose from you. I don't care who you are. You're not doing me like that. Here's a deal. I have a gift that was given to me from God. That is the gift of comedy. That's what I've done. I've made the bulk of my living on that skill set. Right there. That are comedians who are supposedly friends of mine, who I've worked with, who get around in huddles with one another and they say, man, Steve really ain't funny. I don't see what they'd be laughing at. He ain't funny to me. He wasn't the funniest king to me. Excuse me, you're irrelevant in this conversation because it regardless as to how you feel about me. That are people think that I'm knocked down kill over funny. But more importantly, I own the gift that God gave to me. I take ownership of his blessing. Because you don't think it's so, You ain't taking that from me. Stop letting people steal, yo, Joe. Stop letting people take what you're supposed to know. Look, I'm a I'm a I'm a I'm a kind person at heart. Man. You ain't nothing now you said if it going, Man, I guess I ain't what you're tripping for. You are a kind person, own that take ownership of it. Stop letting things God has given you be taken away from others. The devil is a cold player, and he got cold players working for him, just shaking, just taking stuff from you. You know, I'm a hard worker. I really am intelligent. You stupid man. I thought I was a hard worker. Man. They came in here and said I was stupid. Man, I don't know what I'm doing wrong. What excuse me? You're a very bright person. Hey, y'all take ownership. When God gives you something, blesses you would have gift a talent, a skill set, a mindset, own it. Don't let people come in here and take it from you. Man, Okay, I probably shouldn't do with that. You're listening morning, ladies and gentlemen. This is the Steve Harvey Morning Show, and this is how we're doing it today. I know you want to leave me, but I refuse to let you go.

There it is. I need you to watch me. Coming up next to the time of the hour, we got our good friend Tracy Ellis Ross will be on the Steve Harvey Morning Show. Keep it right here. You're listening, hey, listen to everybody else promised we got a special guest today. Uh this woman here man award winning actress. You probably know her best of all, probably from leading roles and several TV comedies, Girlfriends and currently Blackish. But not only is she an accomplished actress, she's got a new single out today now. The single is called Love Myself and it's the lead single from the upcoming movie entitled The High Note. And she also stars in the movie. So we're gonna hear her new music today and we're gonna talk about the movie focus. So let's get to it, ladies and gentlemen. Well, I kid you not one of my favorite people in Hollywood that I don't have a sale number two, but still one of my favorite people. Ladies and gentlemen. Tracy Ellis Ross, Hey, we love you girl. What's happening? Oh my god? Hi you guys. First of all, Steve, that's hilarious. You know what, I don't have your cell phone number, and you're one of my favorite people missing cocoa butter. But that's besides the point. I mean, I don't know if you can hear me making all this noise over here, but I'm just gonna I'm gonna change one thing you said. My new single, let me be clear, my first ever never done a song before, song of life ever singing moment is happening now, every girl. You Hey, Oh my god. I don't even know what to say. I might that's crazy, It's crazy. I've never saying before. It's been my biggest dream and my biggest fear, and I just dove in at forty seven years old, this movie. You know, it's been a while since I've done a movie, and I just I have had great, extraordinary roles on television that allow me to do so many things that it takes a lot for me to feel like there's a script that I'm really interested in. Um, that makes me feel like I could do something new, and this one came along and I chased it. I chased Let's talk about. Let's let's talk about because the movie is called a hot Note now This Everybody is a romantic drama that's gonna be released on May twenty ninth, and Tracy plays a role of Grace Davis. So Tracy tell us about the movie. Okay, Um, Grace Davis is a Okay, is a singing superstar. Um. She is in her forties, late forties, like me, um, and she has had I mean, imagine the Mariah Terry that you know my mom, I guess, you know, like an icon that's been around for years, been doing hits forever. But she's at that point in her career. And by the way, this is not written about anybody. It's sort of a conglomeration of a whole bunch of different kinds of stories. But she's at that point in her life where she's doing the same thing and her manager Ice Cube it, Yeah, that's where I think his name is Jack. In the movie, it's pushing her to do the same thing and go do a Vegas residency and kind of stick with what she's doing, And the movie is about her journey of embracing that part of herself that she has kept secret and having the courage to let it out, and it's about her relationship with her assistant. Dakota Johnson is also a woman trying to do what she wants to do in a world that tells you you should be one thing, and you know you are someone else. And I think it's a story that so much of us can relate to. I know I could in terms of, you know, trying to be a person that you think everybody wants you to be instead of trying to be who you are. And so I get to sing in the movie, and there's a level and it's just really exciting. I cut sixth songs. Steve Wow. Hey, Tracy, hold on one second. I really want to keep everything you say, and we'll be right back. Everybody with more from Tracy Ellis, Ross, Ladies and gentlemen, Miss Anne Trip, thank you, thank you, good morning, everybody. Well. Donald Trump is resisting pressure from congressional Democrats to sign onto another coronavirus relief package, saying that the country needs to wait and see first what the results of the trillions already in circulation are doing by way of fimulous packages that have already gone through. However, the House votes on another stimulus package today. They feel they have the votes, of course to pass it, but the Senate is kind of iffy. In fact, a Senate leader McConnell, and also the President pretty much say that this one is dead on arrival. Doctor Richard Bright, the whistleblower who accuses the Trump administration of pushing him out as director of a federal biodefense agency, told congressional lawmakers yesterday that he feels he was emotive because he refused to support President Trump's campaign for an untested drug and because he was also that drug being touted as a successful treatment for the coronavirus. And doctor Bright said he also always trying to urge the President, he said, to take more action about fighting it nationally quickly. Doctor Bright warns that the COVID nineteen fret persists, but the President, of course has his own explanation about everything. Listen to both. Time is running out because the virus is still spreading everywhere. There are a lot of people that do not like the job he did. I don't know him, I never met him. I don't want to meet him, but I watched him, and he looks like an angry, disgrunt bold employee who frankly, according to some people, didn't do a very good job well. Earlier this week, infectious disease expert doctor Anthony fauci I kind of said the same thing that doctor Bright said. He said that we cannot open the nation's stores and businesses too soon, and he warned against that. He said that we would have another ruptick in coronavirus cases. We have to take it slowly. California's attorney general has joined a coalition of city attorneys in that state ensuing Uber and Liff, claiming that the ride share companies wrongfully classify their drivers as independent contractors in violation of a state law which makes them treat their workers as employees if they control how they perform tasks. Being listed as employees instead of independent contractor allows a gig work or to qualify for a minimum wage and also unemployment benefits. That's really the crux of what's going on here as well. Some thirty governors have asked the Trump administration, by the way, to provide funded legal services for those affected by the coronavirus pandemic, however, so far to no avail. The Federal Emergency Management Agency or FEMA usually does provide disaster legal services hotlines after hurricanes and wildflowers and fires and floods for businesses and people to call and find out how to fill out paperwork and stuff like that. Beyonce and her mom Tina Lawson launching a coronavirus testing effort in their hometown at Houston, Tyler Perry doing one in Atlanta, and today is honor. Your answer should say, now back to the Steve Harvey Morning Show. You're listening to a right job. We're back and we're going to continue this conversation with Tracy Ellis Ross. Tracy, you were saying some interesting things about this corona. Your take on it, Yeah, it's really I mean, this is I don't know, there's no way to wrap your head around it. And I think for me, I don't know about for you, but you can have moments where you're like, oh, okay, like I can do this is fine, I'm in my home, I'm you know, and then you realize my heart gets so heavy when I realize the reality of what is happening for so many people, the loss of lives and not being able to be with their families in those moments, the loss of livelihoods and no sense of where an income is going to come from again, the lots of plans, the loss of hugs, Like there's so many things that um some big, some small, But there's no way that you can measure somebody's sense of grief and understanding of loss. Like it's just it is what it is. And I think we're trying to wrap our heads around something that's not possible to wrap their head around. There's no roads because you know, there are jobs that are gone gone like might never come back in our culture and in society. Um and it's and there's so the majority of our country and our world don't have savings accounts and that's normal. That's the system that's been set up in our country and in our lives, like no one you can't get ahead enough to do that. And now we have people I mean, that's that's not that's not on the accountability of the individual. That's the accountability of the system that we live in. Um and and it's and yet it's people's worth, it's people's livelihood, it's what allows them to put food on the table to take care of themselves. And you know, so many of us are talking about, you know, our immune system and staying healthy, which is mind, body, and spirit, and how do you do that when the stress level is so high. There's just so many pieces to it, and how it's disproportionately affecting people of color, and of course, because this shines a light on an inequity that has existed and a system that has not allowed people to support themselves the way they should, particularly black and brown people in this country. So it you know, whether that's health or well being, whatever that is, or the way that the people have been impacted by the criminal justice system. There's just so many for just the water that people drink because of the area that they live in, or the education that they've been able to have access to, or what I mean. We could go on and on, and so it becomes glaringly obvious how much trouble we are in and how the systems that we live in need to change. And it just brings me back to voting, you know, it brings us all back to that place. But we have to do better. Yes, there's a virus that none of us can do anything about, but the systems that hold our society in place, we need to do better so that we all can be safe, free and healthy.

Strawberry Letter subject COVID nineteen caused my husband to confess some people going through some Okay, all right, here we go. Dear Stephen Shirley, my husband and I having some real marital issues right now, and I blame it on COVID nineteen. We haven't been stuck together for this long without being able to go to work, or play tennis or go shopping. My husband says, I irritate him all day long, and I'm sick of seeing him sitting up all day watching TV. We had a big fight and it got really ugly, and as my husband left the room, he mumbled that he couldn't wait to get back to his baby. I asked him to repeat it, but he wouldn't. I kept nagging him until he finally admitted that he's been having an affair with a co worker and told me that I know her. He said that he slept with this woman the night we got married. He told me that she's married too, so it's a great set up for both of them. He told me that he wanted to get married. He told me that he wanted to get married and I was a beautiful, career driven woman that bought a lot to the table, so he chose me. He said he truly loves me, but he has connection with the other woman that he can't live without. I set that crying, and he told me that he was glad his secret was finally out. I asked if he was planning to stop the affair, and he said that he cannot stop seeing her. I don't want a divorce, and neither does he, so I guess I have to decide if I can deal with this for the sake of our marriage. I wonder if I would have found out about the affair if pandemic hadn't happened. Me and cheat all the time and wives forgiven him. But this But is this marriage ever the same afterward? Will he ever want me like he wants this other woman? Please help God, God dogs right see, let me tell you something. This COVID nineteen got everybody going crazy. You know, you said, you and your husband, y'all been getting on each other's nerves since being quarantined together. You've been stuck together. You haven't been stuck together as as long, being able to work or play tennis, or go shopping or get out. You can't stand watching him on the couch watching TV, he says, you irritating him all day. Y'all had a big, ugly fight. He left the room and mumbled, I can't wait to get back to my baby. You asked him to repeat himself, and then he admitted that he was having an affair with a co worker that you actually know, and he slept with her the night y'all got married. How did that happen? The night y'all got married, he slept with her. I don't understand that anyway. He went on to say, this is a great setup because she is married too. Of course you are heartbroken. You cried, and he said he is not going to stop seeing her. And he married you because you were beautiful, career driven. But so he's not gonna stop seeing her. He must love her, he must really love her. He doesn't want to divorce because he has a connection with this other woman. So your question is, if it wasn't for the pandemic, would you have found out about this affair. Well, now you know, Now you know, and you say men cheat all the time and wives forgive them. Your husband has been cheating on you, my dear, since day one, and you said you need to decide if you want to stay in this marriage. What marriage? What marriage? Your husband told you that he can't wait to get back to his other life with his married mistress when this pandemic is over. You asked us, will he ever want you the way he wants this other woman? Girl? This man does not deserve you. I know your heartbroken right now. But one thing this pandemic has taught all of us about life, and life is precious. Is too short for all of this. Now you have to decide on what's important to you, staying in your marriage or moving on. But if it were me, if it were me, I would be out, girl. I'll put his but out so fast, I have a virtual divorce. I'll be through with him on zoom, I would be through with him. He've been cheating since day one. Okay, Steve, it's on you. This a lot. COVID nineteen caused my husband to confess, I don't think that's what did it. That's not what I see in here. Y'all been having some real matter issues right now, and I blame it on COVID nineteen. Now you refer to COVID nineteen twice in this letter. You say you blame it on COVID nineteen, and then at the end of the letter you said, I wonder if I would have found out about the affair if the pandemic hadn't happened. You know what you're doing. You're giving this pandemic too much credit. See, you just ain't looking at the facts. You got a situation. See you one of them people where you got to justify what you're feeling, or justify what's really really wrong with what's really something else that's wrong. This ain't COVID nineteen. Look, he you don't got on his nerves, and he didn't got on your nerves. You sitting up there, you irritate him all day, and you sick of watching him watch TV. You had a big fight and it got ugly, and your husband left the room and he mumbled that he couldn't wait to get back to his baby. What what'd you say? And then when you asked him what he said, he wouldn't tell you until you kept nagging. And when I come back, I got some funist letter right here. Part two coming up at twenty three out of the hour. You're listening, all right, we're back. Listen. We have part two of today's Strawberry Letters. COVID nineteen caused my husband took confess. Go ahead up recap lois. Look, man, this lady is giving COVID nineteen a little bit too much credit. Here and her wife they struggling. They've been in the house. She can't play tennis, go shopping, can't work. And your husband then told you you here Tati all day long, but you say you sick of seeing him watching TV all day. So y'all had this big fight and he got ugly. And as your husband left the room, he mumbled he couldn't wait to get back to his baby. I asked him to repeat it, but he wouldn't. Right down, that's all this over. I wouldn't repeat it. Don't worry about what I said. And that's it. We ain't even acting. We ain't got nothing to write this letter about. Because there's no way I'm telling you. I kept nagging him till he finally admitted he was having an affair with a co worker and told me, I know what, you can't nag me that much. What did you say? I said, I can't believe you this crazy fix it, fix it. I can't wait to get back to my baby. If I said that when you asked me, ould have came up with anything else? I might watch TV, but I ain't lazy. Thank you. What did you say? Did you say you can't wait to get back to your baby? I said, I'm glad we ain't having a baby. Oh, I'd have said anything, but what this damn fool said? Because see, your husband kind of stupid. But I think your husband looking for out now, see, because I don't care how much nag and you do. Then he finally admitted that he's been having an affair with a that's a that's that's real. Big from we having an argument and y'all on each other's nerves till I'm having an affair with a co worker and you know, hug so Dawn, you're trying to be spiteful. Then turn around and said he slept with this woman tonight we got married. See, he just being nasty now, because there's no reason for you to hurt a woman like that. There's no reason for you to even say that to a woman. I don't know how long y'all been married, but dog, there's nothing in you, as a decent human being why you would say that, even if it is true. So now you're just trying to be nasty, trying to hurt you. See it's so. It ain't got nothing to do with the COVID nineteen. This dude nasty. He told me that she's married too, So it's a great set up for both of them. Oh, he just staying you because see first of all to admit to the affair and then to say it's a co worker, and then tell you you know her, and then tell you he slept with her the night y'all got married, and then say she married too. So it's a great set up for both of us. What do you You're going in way too far with this. This ain't got nothing to do with the COVID. This dude has been he looking for out. He told me he wanted to get married, and I was a beautiful, career driven woman that bought a lot to the table, so he chose me. Okay, Then he said, he truly loves you, but he got a connection with the other woman that he can't live without. What what I mean, dog, you're just taking the knife and turning it now, Dog, you know, any man get busted with at le say look, he's just a thing. It happened one time. You know. I'm sorry, you know but this. I love you, but I got a connection with this woman that I can't live without. So you set that crime. He told me he was glad his secret was finally out. That's another did I asked if he was planning to stop the affair. He said, he can't stop seeing her. That's another damn. Did this Dudel is burying your sister? Are you kidding me? This Dudel is being as vicious with this as he can. He looking for out. I don't want a divorce, and neither does he. What what you mean he don't want a divorce. If he didn't want a divorce, he wouldn't have said none of this is right. All this is to get out. I truly love you, but I can't I got a connection with this woman that I can't live without Now, I truly love you, but I can live without you. And you know how I think I can live without you because I just told you every doggish thing I've ever done, and I did it with some malice intent. Yeah, I don't want a divorce and neither does he. You're wrong about that system. He wants out, So I guess I have to decide if I could deal with this for the sake of our marriage. Wait a minute, Wait a minute, Wait a minute, wait wait, Like Colin said, you need to put him out. See, he need to make some decisions. You ain't got no decisions to make, right. What are you sending if you're talking about I guess I have to decide if I can deal with this? What do you mean you have to decide if you have to deal with this? Who wants to deal with this? That you live with a man that's having an open affair that he told you about with a married woman that he slept with the night he married you, that he got a connection with it, he can't live without, and he not gonna stop seeing her, And you got to decide for the sake of out. I wonder if I would have found about the the faith. The pandemic hadn't happened. What the pandemic got to do with it? Nothing? Men cheat all the time and wives forgive though what Men get busted and they wives forgive them. Men don't in an argument say all the stuff he say without getting stabbed slapped? But is this marriage ever the same afterwards? How can it be? Will he ever want me like he wants this other woman? What? Get out there? It is? Help yourself? Yeah, yeah, yeah, let's come to nothing. Let me come back. All right, we'll be back with part three to Strawberry. Let it's apart three today. Get right back at forty six after the hour you're listening, all right, uncle, back for part three. The Strawberry letter COVID nineteen calls my husband tick confess what is this? This woman having a hard time with her husband. He walks out the room after this big argument and said, I can't wait to get back to my baby. She asked him to repeat it. He wouldn't. She kept nagging him, and then he had finally admitted that he having a fair with a co worker. Told me that I know him. He said he slept with this woman to night we got married. He told me she's married, so it's a great set up for both of them. He told me he wanted to get married and you was beautiful. He had and she was beautiful and had a career driven woman, and she bought a lot to the table. So he chose to marry a woman that wrote the letter. But he said he truly loves the woman who wrote the letter, but he got a connection with the other woman he can't live without. Now while she's sitting that crime, he glad, He tell her, I'm glad the secret is finally out. What I asked if he was planning and stop the fan. He said, he can't stop seeing her. And now this lady said, I don't want a divorce, and neither of us. He it don't sound he don't want a divorce. See, men that don't want a divorce say I'm sorry, I'm gonna stop forgive me. Men who don't want a divorce I would never have repeated, even if somehow my dumb man said I missed my baby. I bet you I don't say it again. What did you say? I said, I can't believe you crazy? Yes, sir, did you just say I missed my baby? I said, I'm glad we ain't having a baby. But what I'm nothing to do is repeat that if I love you and I don't want to hurt you. But he digging a knife in you. He said he can't. He ain't gonna stop seeing her. He ain't. And now you're talking about you wondering about if you to find out about the affair of the pandemic hadn't happened. What, Well, now you know I'm wanting it, And is this marriage ever gonna be the same? I guess I have to decide if I could deal with this for the sake of our marriage. Like Carlin said, what marriage you keep referring to y'all not in a marriage. This an arrangement, This is not a marriage system. Please help pull yourself up, get yourself together. He already said, you're a beautiful woman, your career driven, you bring a lot to the table. That's an attractive woman to a lot of men. Like man, don't don't he didn't decide, love yourself yourself and don't sit in a house and a relationship that don't listen to me. Judge Lynntola came on my show and gave the best advice I've ever heard from She said her grandmother told her, don't let a man have to tell you twice. He don't want you whoa what we're talking about? His sister? Come on now, pull yourself together, all right, you guys cannot go and Instagram Steve Harvey Instagram and Facebook. Make sure you check out the Strawberry Letter podcast. What you Got Junior? Coming up at the top of our will find out what Donald Trump, the President wants Obama to do. You're listening to all right, call it. President Trump is asking Obama to do what. Well, let me tell you this. This is story is trending too in political news, Junior, Jay and Steve. President Trump is demanding his predecessor, former President Barack Obama, give a testimony before the Senate Judiciary Committee on what he calls the biggest political crime in US history. But the Senator Lindsey Graham is responded, you know, he's responded to this tweet that President Trump sent out, and he said he doesn't think he can even ask former President Obama to testify. He wanted mister Trump to be careful, he said, be care for what you wish for, you know. And mister Trump, you know, the president he has failed to explain, what is he talking about with Obama? Gay? What illegal activity are you referring to with President Obama? But I tell you what, Isn't it good to know that President Trump is in favor of investigating former presidents? Beautiful? You're so gone hell about it. As a matter of fact, I'm pretty sure that the Obama administration is pretty clean because nobody in his administration has ever gone to jail. And the Republican Senate House, which was controlled then, yes, would have bought charges anything. He'd have done any of this. He had never got past impeachment. So I say, you know what, you can't do that, but I wish Obama would because there's nothing now. So now, once you're not president, you beating set of presidents, and now we can bring your ass up because you see, once you put your hand and you get under oath and you lie, that's called perjury. Partner. Now, he's been perjuring himself since he'd been in office, and he just ain't took an oath, but he took the oath of the office of president. But once you go to court and put your hand on that Bible, partner, and then you lie. After that that's that's that's that's jail time. That's what Flynn is in jail for. See perjury and he lied twice, pled guilty. Lie every day. Trump lies every jail. He doesn't understand, and he just deflects everything. He's more consumed with Obama than he hears anything else because he has one operating modal shift, the blame and distract. That's how he runs the country. It Once he get heat on him, he pulled heat on somebody else. Once somebody bust him in a lie, he changing, and just say he shift, He shifts. This dude man. Yeah, And it's sickening to me if the number of people they would have brought it out Wether, it's sickening the number of people who call themselves intelligent, people who call themselves righteous, people listen to this man. I don't care how you phrase what he says. I don't care if you play the clip on Fox or CNN. If you play exactly what he said, it's a lie. If you play exactly what he's said, it's not the truth. But for so many decent people in the goop to be saying that they'll vote for him, it's amazing how they turned a blind eye to all of this that he's done. That's right, it's sickening, man. And now Mitch McConnell's backtracking. Now, Steve, he's saying, remember, because he said that President Obama did not leave in pandemic, you know, sort of playbook for the Trump administration. Now he's backtracking, saying he did because they got evident that he had formed a Pandemic Global task Force. And one of the one hundred and eighteen or so things that Donald Trump rescinded within a week of his presidency was that right there. And that was almost four years ago, and that would have gave you plenty of time to prepare for a pandemic had you let the task force in place. It's just dudes, this is said. Coming up. We got more than stee every morning show at twenty minutes after the hour, more trending dudes, and topic will be right back. You're listening, I heard anybody. We're back, But Lord have mercy.

He's done two breaks, two intros, and I have not critiqued either one of them. Okay, let's go quickly again. First one. The first one was good, low type, but he's keeping us on time. So I like that one. Yeah. The second one was a little i'd use the way blue choppy buddy. He nailed it. He picked the ball. You know, let me critique it a little bit. Shot. He talked, He did the intro and tossed to Carlin. Yeah, when he should have did that himself. Yes, but that means he's a team player. I liked that in it. Oh, okay, we gotta look at it like that.

Because you did not see what you're talking about? You didn't? Yeah, dude, man, this weekend, man, I'll be one of the speakers along Kevin hard is hosting. President Obama is the keynote speaker.

Yeah, that's gonna be Saturday, and then Steve, you're doing your joining courses with Facebook and Instagram today Friday, this afternoon to celebrate more of the class of twenty twenty. So that's great, Steve, that's big man, that's great. That's so big. So all right, Jake, alright, No, that's great what you're doing and what Barack Obama is doing and presidents. A lot of people are not going to be able to go to graduation. Steve now as on a march like the traditional march, because it's coronavirus and it's very sad. And know, this is this is your memories, this is you know, this is sad you forever. So with that being said, the Steve Harvey Morning Show would like to give you graduates twenty twenty sounds of graduation. Kick the music, Kick the music, good sounds of graduation. That's my baby, Your mother didn't want me to come here, but I'm here. Love you all right? Coming up is our last break of the day. It is the last break of the day. I get to say, go just do it. Just do it, Jake, I have uncle Steve's closing remarks at forty nine minutes after the hour. The last break of the day. You're listening for anybody on the last break of the day of the week, is last break of the you know what you want to call it week? Do you make plans for the weekend? Na? Not anymore? No, I ain't. Ain't nothing playing where you're going? Ass too sick to go to a movie. My wife keeps reminding me, Steve, you're not doing anything, and nobody's coming over. I said, baby, we could that you're over sixty. Hey, you're gonna quit telling me, you know, like I'm just decrepit or something. Wow. Yeah, man, the closing remarks, I don't want to. I just you know, I need a break. Yeah, sometimes you do. This is this is a lot, everybody. Because I was talking today and my wife said, Steve, you know I'm gonna be getting ready to go on vacation right now. I said, I can't. She said, why, I said, because it's it's a crisis going on, and we got a radio show, I said, and I just have an obligation to talk my listeners through it with information and inspiration and comedy, you know, because I think if they didn't have our voice. And I'm not putting so much importance on what we do, but our voice is important to a lot of people, you know. Yeah, it's like families, people that count on us to give them something. And so I told, I said, I probably won't be taking a vacation like that this year because of the virus or because of the obligation, but you know, it's it's kind of heavy on all of us, you know, And I think, yeah, I just feel for so many people because you know, look, we're working from home. At least we have a job. There are people man whose companies are closed, and that's it. It's people who await sa bar backs and and and and bus boys and valets and hostesses and working companies. And got clean up services that go to office builders and provide a cleaning services where all the offices is closed, so the cleaning services is down. You got people daycare centers that's gone. It's restaurants that will not recover from this, because if you're a small restaurant owner X amount of people come in, you got to buy your food restart. Those people are struggling. Man, it's a lot going on. I don't want us to look at what's happening in this White House and get it confused during election time. Look, I got that people want to go back to work. And like I said the other day, if I was in that position where I had to choose risking my safety of going back to work and going back to work to provide for my family, right, I might have to face that decision and go back to work and put my mask on my gloves and be prayed up and you know, and and go to it. But I would do it. And I understand where people are coming from, and I understand the need to get the economy back rolling so people can go back to work because unemployment don't pay the same as your check for the average person. It just doesn't. And so I understand it. So with all of that being said, it's a challenging time. But man on, man, as heavy as I feel with it sometimes and as bad as I think it is, it's a lot of people not doing as well as you are. Can I say something, you know as much as we you know, we're on the radio, we have fun, and like you said, you give information, But this is this is a lot of people. This is the one thing that's there every day. Well, you know, they get up in the morning, maybe they can't go to work, but they say, well, I can listen to the Steve Harvey Show. I'm gonna get let some lads, I'm gonna get some knowledge. So it's very important that we take what we do very serious. And we do, we really do. We know what people are going through. We know that people are hurting, and you know, we do this radio show. We don't know how many people we touched because we don't see you guys. We don't see you guys at all, and we know you're listening to and just know that we feel your pain too. Because everybody knows ten people that ain't working, and those ten people, no ten people, and those ten people, no ten people, and so on and so on and so on. So forget what this guy and the White House is saying. People are dying, people are not working, and people are in bad shape because they can't pay their bills and they want to work. They want them. They don't want that little check. They want to work. They want to get out and work. And they were working. They go back to work, and that choice I'm gonna die or I stay at home. I don't know, I might have to make it saying, because you know, going to work gives a person a sense of value. Yeah, the average person that I know doesn't want to hand out. They want to work. They want to feel value. You know. Men want to come in and and they family go, hey daddy, and like he come in, like he saved the day. Women want to come home, Hey mommy, and mommy been out there making money, like she's saving the day. Don't nobody want to be sitting here waiting on no mail man to come with a check that ain't gonna that that's not gonna cover this stuff, right? You know, you know your job might have been check the check, but you knew at least you could cover something that unemployment check don't cover enough. Dog. Yeah, man, So y'all keep y'all head up. Man. I know it's tough, it's challenging, but prayer works. I'm just telling you it works. Man. If you haven't done it tried. I'm telling you it provides you with a level of comfort and confidence that you may need in a time like this. That's just a suggestion. He's a anxiety Well, those are my closing remarks. That's it. I would say, have a great weekend, but have a good Sunday, Saturday, and we'll see you Monday, which will be just like Saturday.
