Today's show is pre recorded. Y'all know what time. I don't know. Y'all have a sun giving them like the milling bus things and its not true. Good string together for I don't join jo. You gotta use that turn be hurting you. You gotta turn to turn them out. Turn you love, got to turn them out to turn turn the water the water go. Come, come on your thaw, I share will a good morning everybody. You're listening to the voice, come on dig me now. One and only. Steve Harvey got a radio show. Oh man, Steve Harvey got a radio show because God. Because God is simply amazing. Because God is off the chain, because God is over the top, because God is all that in a bag of chips. God is amazing man. God will take you places that you never ever thought you would go, or you know what it Sometimes it amazes me when I'm watching all people talk about themselves and their careers and where they're adding life and things and they and I hear people say, you know, always dreamed of being him. You know, I can understand when a person says that I've always dreamed of something like this would happen to me. But I want you to think about that for a second. Did you really see it just like that though? Did you really really see it just like that? Did you really know that God was gonna bring you through all he bought you through to get you to this place? Did you know that, in spite of the losses along the way that would crumble the average person, that somehow He kept you through it all and that's how you got here? Did you think of you know? I mean, you know, you know. I mean, since you're so busy talking about yourself now, have you forgotten all the times He was bringing you through when you didn't see no way that you was gonna get through? Do you remember that? So when you sit there and you say I dreamed of this, this is what I always saw happening, I don't really think. So. I don't really think if you take inventory, or real close inventory of your life and you look back on it at all, I'm looking at the moment right now, remember where you come from. See, that's what gets me emotional sometimes, that's what makes me tear up because when something is happening to me in the moment, it ain't the moment for me, it's the memory of how I got there. It's the recollection of all the things, all the nights, all the days in that car, all the times by myself when I felt like I wasn't gonna make it. But somehow I'm standing somewhere and somebody passing out an award to me or somebody calling my name. That's that. Did you really think you was gonna make it? Then? So so so, since you're talking about this is what I always dreamed of? Did you really think in those moments right there that you would even be standing here today? That's why I try to I try to give people to understand, you know, and and and and this is kind of for young people today what I'm about to say. But then guess what I sometimes I have to remind myself of it. So I guess it's still kind of everybody, you know, because I work with a lot of young people, and so many times, man, young people just don't understand what all it takes. And I know, and if you're a full grown a dot, if you're forty, you you really understanding where I'm coming from, because you know it's listen to me, young people or anybody that don't understand this, that you got to do some things that you don't want to do. In order to do what you want to do, you have to understand this principle of success or else you are not going to become successful. I got what you want to do. I got your ultimate goal? Is this, that, and the other? I got all of that. But in the meantime, though, there are some necessary steps that you have to take in order to become successful, and you cannot skip these steps. You can't jump over these steps just because you want to be rich, Friday, I got to I got that. Everybody got that. But if you want this, whatever you're talking about, whether it's money or success or fame or climbing the corporate letter or this is the position or you all, that's fine, and Danny, please hold on to your dreams. Dreams come true. But in the meantime, let me remind you of something that you gotta do some things you don't want to do in order to do what you want to do. Let's say you want to be rich and famous. Let's just say that's it for you. Let's sit It's a lot of other ways of being successful. Please don't think that's the only one. But I'm just saying let's just say yours is rich and famous, and let's say some miraculous way God made you rich and famous. Next Friday, you rich and you famous? Next Friday, can I share something with you? This is not going to last for you. You know why because you have not done the things necessary. You have not done the things that you have to do in order to do the things you want. So now you're rich and famous, How you gonna know how to budget money? How are you gonna know how to get up and keep clawing towards the top when you fall off your pedestal? See, it's so many things you got to know about something, and you think, because it's what you want right now, it's supposed to happen just now. It's a process when you ask God for something. Please know, God know the process. He knows the necessary steps to take you through. Don't lose your patience with God because your dreams ain't coming true right now? Man? You know you know I think the best way y'all is for me. I just use myself as an example. I really do understand why God has given me the life he's giving me so far. I understand to being homeless. Part now I get to not being successful when I want on it two part. Now, I get it. I got the delayed entry into the field of choice for myself. I got it now. I've been wanting to be on TV and a little comedian since I was nine years old. But guess what, I didn't get there until I was twenty eight. But see I didn't get it then I was mad at God. You know what, I won't knop sending them here here. I got exactly what you want. But I got this process. I want you to go through to get here too, because see I'm fit to take you somewhere. You don't know nothing, but one day you're gonna have a radio show with You're a little stupid behind. You don't know this yet. I'm gonna bless you with a radio show. You don't even know it. That's why I say every more than Steve Harvey got a radio show, because see I didn't. I didn't see this one coming. But see, God had a plan for me. It was in the blueprint of my life. So God said, what I'm gonna do is, I'm gonna make your life a little rough for you. I'm gonna toss you up a little bit. I'm I'm gonna let you make some of these stupid decisions you wanna make it, I'm gonna make you learn from them. I'm I'm gonna let you be homeless for a little while. I'm gonna let you not get into your field of choice until you're twenty eight. I'm gonna have people talking about if we had only seen him when he was younger. I ain't gonna let you get your first can your name till your thirty eight. I'm gonna make you go through some things because one day I'm gonna put a microphone in front of your mouth, and I want you to honor me. I want you to talk about me. I want you to tell people what I bought you through. I want you to give people inspirational moments where they can see that your life was jacked up for a minute and I turned your life around for you. That's God dealing with me. See. So now I finally understand why I went through the life I went through, so I can have something to say. See, I ain't over here telling you about what I think are happened. I'm telling you what I know can happen. That God does make dreams come true, but sometime it take a minute. Sometimes you're gonna have to do some things you don't want to do in order to do what you want to do. All right, all that, I'm gonna be tripping it day you're listening Stave every morning show, all right, everybody, Today is the day you call somebody you ain't talked to it in a long time, just to check on them.

He wants a home that's big enough for his mom to live with us. He says, if we all live together, we can have a living babysitter, and we can charge his mom seven hundred dollars a month, which is a lot cheaper than her rent. He says, it's a win win.

You're listening Steve every morning show. In trending entertainment news, Bill Gates might be the man who saves TikTok in the US, Microsoft said it is committed to acquiring the popular video app. As we previously told you, President Trump has been threatening a US ban of TikTok. This is what people are doing during you know, the quarantine. They're making Dan's videos and stuff on TikTok, which is owned by a Chinese company. And that's what the President has a problem with. Due to concerns over security and all of that. The President has given Microsoft until September fifteenth to buy TikTok or else he's gonna ban them. He's mad. He's mad because he got clowned by TikTok or his rally he had in Tulsa. In Tulsa. Yeah, when they had all those chairs layed out and nobody's showed them one, he just mad. He mad. Yeah, he's now overflow. Oh jay no, No, he feeled a big stage and everything. So the TikTok users played him. Yeah. Yeah, that's what he's upset about, and basically that's why he's mad. Yeah. Uh. In other entertainment news, prayer warriors, we need your prayers of healing for our good friend, comedian Rodney Perry. Rodney has COVID nineteen. In case you haven't heard, he recently did an Instagram live chat for his fans. Some of Rotney's comedian celebrity friends checked in. Take a listen as Rodney Perry's Instagram live as he ended the live chat talking to Tiffany Hattish here we go. I came in last Monday, and uh, I diagnosed positive COVID nineteen and uh I've been toughing it out for the last seven days. Just the crazy part, Chiff. It's like you watch the TV, you think you understand it, but don't nobody understand it. And like even when you talk to the professionals day, like yeah, we understand it, but we don't, you know, And so they figured it out. And uh, I some great professionals. You know, I'm a vet. So I got some great people helping me get better and well and good black folks. You know. It's a little beautiful man. You know. It makes you take a real inventory of life, you know, and be thankful. Wow. Wow, praying for you. Rodney, come on back, get well. So Jay, you said you spoke with Rodney. I sent him. I found out about it yesterday and I sent him a text and you know, the check on him and out. I wasn't even thinking when he text back, but he did and said he was okay and doing better. And there was a picture of him on the ground. So we're praying fun. We can't lose the money. We can't lose some more anybody. We can't do it doesn't matter if you're a comedian or not. I mean, we just can't. But the President don't see it that way. This dude just not see it that way. No, he says, the virus says receding. Yeah. Doctor Burke said it's widespread. And he got mad at her. Oh he called her, He called her. Um, he said, did he say about her unprofessional or something like that. Yeah, so so she's gone now, she won't be around anymore. I don't expect to see her anymore. Well, he's he's Fouci, if you will, doctor Fauci and her the same way. Yeah, he is, absolutely because they disagree with him. Yeah. Yeah, And now he's having these press conferences where he's the only one standing up there and he's the least informed out of everybody. I mean a campaign those are campaign rallies, that's what that is. Yeah, he's not a doctor. He's not a medical doctor. How can you talk about it. He's not a nothing though, he not not I don't know, but he's not nothing. We have to vote to make sure that is the case. All Right, Jay, it's time to get caught up on today's headlines. Let's go, ladies and gentlemen. It's done from his hand trip. Okay, good morning everybody. It's seven o four in the morning. Yes, good morning world, and here we go. Okay, let's start with the big one. Hurricane East i EA made landfall last night in an oceanile beach that's in North Carolina, packing eighty five mile per hour winds and knocking out power in the area to about thirty thousand customers. A lot of folks did not evacuate or anything. It just kind of battened down the hatches and stuck with it. East has now been downgraded to a tropical storm as it makes its way north. A state of emergency has been declared in New Jersey. President Trump used his White House coronavirus news conference yesterday to repeat his opposition to shutting things down like schools and businesses as a way of bringing down COVID nineteen infections. Trump also claimed that under his leadership that the US had done quote as well as any nation, even though the US now has surpassed four point seven million confirmed cases of coronavirus, more than a quarter of the global total. Then, Trump criticis size absent to your mail in voting, even though that's the way he reportedly votes, despite the fact that many people are afraid of going to the polls this year, you know, because of the virus. Trump claims that mail in ballots don't work, and he claims that the Democrats are simply trying to be slick. They've lost ballots, there's fraudulent ballots. It's how are you going to do that for an entire nation. They're using COVID to try and get the mail in ballots. Again, that's how mister Trump votes, and election officials say that he doesn't know. They don't know about what he's talking about lost ballots and stuff like that. They say, that's that has not happened. By the way, the presumptive Democratic presidential candid Joe Biden, he's putting his two cents in. Also, he says Trump is selling on telling quote a boldfaced lies about voting by mail to distract from his own failures. Trump, who's been trailing Biden, you know in recent polls anyway, has been saying that he would not trust the results of an election that included widespread mail in voting. He already asked about the possibility, you know, pushing the nation's election day up, but the lawmaker said, I'm not doing that. By the way, Houston's mayor Sylvia Sylvester Turner says that people who do not wear a mask in his city could now be find two hundred and fifty bucks. Some California cities finding residents who don't cover up, like West Hollywood is three hundred dollars for the first instant in Glendale four hundred dollars the first time, a thousand dollars for the second time. In Savannah, Georgia, it's up to five hundred dollars if you don't wear a mask. In Cincinnati, twenty five dollars. In Dayton, Ohio, to find is eighty five dollars. The popular video sharing an app, Yeah, we were talking about it, TikTok, under scrutiny by the Trump administration because it's owned by the Chinese and thought by the Trump administration to be maybe supplying user data to Beijing.

This is a worldwide number. Okay, those are the cases in the world with more than six hundred and eighty nine thousand deaths. Here in the US there are more than four point seven million confirmed cases and more than one hundred and fifty five thousand deaths. Just yesterday. Yeah, this is craziness. Just yesterday, two hundred and sixty employees in Georgia's larger school district tested positive or have been exposed to the virus. School districts all over the country are running into roadblocks as they try to reopen for this school year. Meanwhile, President Trump is attacking another member of his Coronavirus task force. This time it's doctor Deborah Burkes. He did that yesterday because she gave a warning that the virus is widespread after he said the virus is receding, and this President called doctor Burke's pathetic. Are you kidding, Mark? Yeah? Are you kidding? Yeah, she's on his Corona virus task for US. Okay. Now there's another doctor. He's out of Northern California, out of Richmond, up in the Bay area. His name is doctor Desmond Carson, African American doctor. He says he's had it with these COVID deniers. He's had it with us not wearing our mask in this country. Take a listen to this, please. We need the National Guard to come out to tell these foods who don't want to wear a mask that if you're gonna you're gonna wear the mask or you're gonna go home. There's one hundred thirty four thousand people that have died in this country, our rights to not wear a mask, all right. That bull is gonna kill us. We are at the point right now that either we're gonna solve this by working together. If Canada could shut it down, South Koreita had four one two three four cases, they shut the whole country down, shut it down. We're out here playing this. This is gonna get bad when flu season comes. How am I gonna differentiate flu from corona? How am I gonna do that? So we're at the point, I believe right now. If we don't get serious ashes ashes, we all fall. Damn he is one saw him right? Yes, shut down the truth man, and and real those are real emotions, real emotions coming from him. He said, let me tell y'all something. Bs. We laugh and talk about it.

It's like it's like they like it's not gonna hit them, Like it's not a part of that. I just don't get it, man. And you just heard a doctor who's on the front line, who's on the front line deal because case after case, day after day, and so he is seeing that people are not taking this seriously. Just because you tired of the virus just doesn't make it go away. It's just it's my biggest problem. My biggest problem is my kids are getting ready for the next school year.

Here. It is destraw every letter. Thank your nephew, all right. Subject, he's leaving a lasting impression on women. Uh. Dear Stephen Shirley, I'm a thirty two year old divorced woman who filed for divorce after only two years of marriage. Right after we said I do, I noticed a change in my husband and he could go three weeks without having sex with me. He kept making excuses to leave the house and would be gone for up to an hour when he left to run a quick errand that's all in quotations. Then, about eight months ago, I walked in on him as he washed himself off in our bathroom sink after he claimed he went to Dunk for a cup of coffee. You heard me. It was obvious that he was cheating. I mentally prepared myself for divorce and planned a girl's trip so I could be gone when he moved out of our house. Before my trip, I went and got waxed as I regularly do. The esthetician that did my waxing told me I have some sort of rash and I should go see my doctor. I saw my gynecologist before my trip, and I was devastated to find out that my husband had given me the herpes virus. Then I had to have my doctor force him to be tested. He did test positive, and all he could do was say he is sorry. Presently he is living with one of the ladies he cheated on me with. She's my sorority sister and I know her well. I feel like, as a woman, I should tell her that my ex husband has an incurable virus that he's spreading without remorse. I feel like women need to stick together when they have been used and abused by a man. I don't want another woman to go through the pain and shame I've endured. This will be with me for the rest of my life. I couldn't care less what he thinks. Would I be wrong to tell his new girlfriend about his nasty ways? You know, before we get into that, I got to ask you, Yeah, should you tell her? I mean, I gotta ask you, are you serious? Are you kidding me right now? Because why do you care? You and this man are divorced. Okay, you are divorced, point blank period, And let's talk about why you divorced this man after two years of marriage. He gave you herpies that, like you said in your letter, will be with you for the rest of your life. He is currently living with one of the women he cheated on you with. Who is your soroar, your sorority sister. You said you know her, well, well, guess what, she knows you too. Right, if you know her, she knows you. You guys are in the same sorority. Well, you're you're asking should you tell her? Let's get to that. Does she tell you that she was sleeping with your husband? Did you tell Did she tell you that he was coming over there getting it in? Did she tell you DoD she tell you anything? No? So so so, Look, we're not buying the whole women need to stick together thing here because it didn't work in this instance. I get what you're saying, but but she doesn't care about you. She does not Women who cheat with their sorority sisters husbands do not stick together. Okay, I have to say that again. They don't stick together, that we aren't friends. You sleve with my husband. We aren't friends. So to you, I say, go on with your life. You are divorced from this man. Let these people do whatever they're gonna do. You're trifling husband, and you're trifling sorority sister. They're no good. They got herpies now she probably has it too. Uh. You know your husband doesn't doesn't care about you. He doesn't care about you. And I know you said it's not about him, but it really is because he's the he's the reason all this is going down. So you don't have to tell her anything. She'll find out soon enough, just like you did. I'm not saying that to be mean. I'm just saying, go on with your life. Leave that in your past period, Jay WHOA. What she should do is not say anything, but have the doctor's office call and hang up. Don't say nothing. Doesn't have a call. And every day you had a doctor's office call and hang up and let them know that it's the doctor calling, and and then this for like maybe a month. Yeah, and ask for her name, said oh okay, yeah, no, I'll call that I'll call that. I'll call it. It's for about a month, all right, Jay, hang on, hang on. We also have to hear from Tommy and Junior. We'll have her two the Strawberry letter. You guys's a response coming up at twenty three minutes after the hour. Today's subject, he's leaving a lasting impression on women. We'll get back into it right after this. You're listening to show, all right, we have to recap today's Strawberry letter. The subject he's leaving a lasting impression on women. This woman wrote in she was married. She got divorced after two years of marriage. Why because her husband didn't have sex with her, but he was running out having sex with other women. And finally she found out that he gave her herpes. And she found out that after she put him out, that he's living with one of her sorority sisters. Her question is, you know, should she tell her sorority sister because she knows it's her sorority sister, she knows her, they've known each other for a while. She thinks that women should stick together and uh, you know, I guess be friends and tell each other things like this. So that is uh, the pretty much the gist of this Strawberry letter. Should she tell her sorority sister that her husband, her ex husband, has her pies and beware because you might get it too, because he's passing it around. All right, so Jay, you were finishing, uh your response, and then we'll get to junior and of course Tommy, m all right. So mine would just have the doctor call every day and just hang up and let him know it's the doctor's office. Don't say nothing. Don't don't say nothing, though, I don't say nothing. This is like the doctor. This is the that, the that the Jenkins and is the nestitent. She just didn't hang up, hang up right to be worried? Yeah, stupid. Yeah, he's just planning that seed. Yeah, ju, thank you. J You know, Charlotte, you like sh She tells first. He's like, no, it's not working for you. I don't. I don't feel that way. I don't think you should tell your sorority system. I think you should tell all women. That's what I think you should. And that's different. Make his life a living hell, is what you know. Wherever he go, you go there too. He at a restaurant, don't get on the microphone. Herping here. Just want you to know herp is in here. Get on his zooms, tick tock and tail.

Okay, all right, Steve, take it away. It's on you. I don't know about you, and I'm talking to the crew this morning. I don't know about y'all, but I can't do four more years of this. No, no, no, I'm out and especially sit here and do four more years of this. When we could do something about it. Thank you. See this that's happening right now, we don't have to allow it to continue. We can actually do something about this. Look, this ain't your boss down at your job and you just got hired and he and he'd been there and until he gets ready to retire, and you had and you don't like the way your boss runs the division or section of the company or just runs the company overall, and it's it's and it's his company, and you got to wait till he retired. No, this is a situation that we can do something about in just a little bit over ninety days. The way I'm looking at this situation, everybody is, I don't have to be sick of this dude in about ninety days. It's simple as that Barack Obama put a list on his website and a website to go to that would give us information on when til when we can start early voting. His wife, First Lady, has an website when we All Vote dot org to get everybody to register to vote. These are two people that the majority of us, not everybody, but the majority of us deeply miss and cared about. And they're still in the background going, hey, man, y'all can do something about this. What would sick in me is after all of the complaining that we've done over the four years, all of the lies that we've set to set through, all of the discrimination, all of the racist remarks, the bigotry that's been displayed openly the race, the white supremacist groups and hate groups that have reared their head wearing their Trump paraphernalia, and they read caps all of this that we have set through for nearly four years. And you mean to tell me that we have an opportunity to do something about this and we're not gonna do nothing. You mean to tell me that people who who who? Who who? What's the word I'm looking for? Who try to garner our vote, People who rally for our vote just so they could get in, people who know that this vote can change the course of the election. And we're gonna sit here with all this power that we have, and we're gonna sit here with it and hold it. John Lewis, Congressman, got his head beat in so we could vote Mega Evers, Rosa Parks, Frederick Douglas, Martin, Luther King. It's a list you can't even begin to measure. And were sitting up in here with the power in our hands in twenty twenty. They can't even stop us from voting no more. We have the power in our hands in twenty twenty to do something about it. And listen to me, you all, you can believe me when I tell you this, that you have the power to change this. And they know it, and they know it. That's what all the distractions are about. That's why they want you talking about anything but this upcoming election. That's why they're dragging out this unemployment. That's why they're trying to I'm gonna tell you something. This is just a theory, right, so you ain't got to do worry about this. You can label this whatever you want. But if you but if coronavirus is the number one theme, it's a distraction from the election. If unemployment is the number one thing, it's a distraction from the election. Where your baby gonna go to school and whether your baby gonna come home safe without being infected, that's a distraction. This administration specializes in distractions. See, we don't forgot that Russia interfered with the election. We forgot that he was impeached in the House. We don't already forgot that this dude paid a stripper one hundred and thirty thousand dollars to shut up. Y'all don't forgot that he had to playboy in the house show on him Milani's room. Y'all forgot that Trump said he can grab a woman by the pe We forgot all that. See, he just distraction after distraction of distraction. Are you forgetting that? Everybody he's bought up there to the White House when he said he would drain the swamp is either in jail or heat and pardon. It's a criminal empire. You're gonna do four years of that. No, we have the power in our hands to vote. Go and register and go to vote, and let's stop this. We have the power to stop this ourselves. For all.
