Y'all know what time is, y'all don't know y'all bag had all sung looking back to back down, giving them like the moking buck bus things and its cub y'all do me true good to Steve Hardy, Yeah, listening to me together for stooard to listen, Moby, why don't you join? Yeah, well hobby joining Mead do turn hur go? Yeah you gotta turn, you to turn turn you lovey got to turn out to turn the water the water go? Come come on your back at it a good morning everybody, y'all listening to the voice, come on dig me now on it only Steve Harvey got a radio show. I was talking with my wife and she said something her father always used to tell her. Uh Pop Bridges used to tell all the time, just because you can do something don't mean you should do it. You know, I can't tell you how many times I've had to learn that in my life. You know, just because you can do something does not necessarily mean you should do it. You know, I could tell people off oftentimes, but it don't mean I should do it. You know, I could go here and set the record straight a lot of times, but it don't mean I should do it. Well. I've learned a lot in that lesson folks, and because I have a relationship with my creator. What it's done is it's allowed me are to learn even more how to stay still on a lot of issues that's troubling me. It's taught me over the years. I've learned it the hard way. I do want you to understand that that sometimes it's better to be still. Sometimes it's better to just let God handle a situation. It's hard to say, and I know it's hard to say because we think as people, but if I do this, I would feel better. If I do this, they would know it's coming from me. If I do this, now, there feel how I feel. See. But that's not always the best way though, I found in my life. See, sometimes you gotta like old people used to say, you gotta let go and let God. Sometimes you gotta do that. I'm gonna tell you something, man, I learned a lot from my mother being a Sunday school teacher. But you know, at the same time, when she was when I was young, I thought she was just an old, old person just talking to me. I didn't get it. You know how you talk to you know how your parents used to talk to you and you didn't get it, and they used to always say, well wait till you have your own kids. You would get it then, and showing off you got it. Then, Well I'm the same way. I'm no different you know. I don't have no different life than you. You know, I have no different upbringing in you. I don't have no different different ways that I can live and you can't. You know that I gotta live by the same laws of the land that you gotta live by. I gotta obey the principles of success. If I want to be successful, I got a bam and you know, and if I want to go to heaven, I go. I gotta do what God tell me to do as many times as I can. Now, you ain't gonna get it all right, but he understand that, and I just get on with the best I can. But so many times, man, we get stuck. We get stuck right there, man, worrying about you know, how how it's gonna come across and and what you know, you know, kind of going around here because I'm trying to find a way to tell you this that that that you won't get twisted hit the bottom line you gotta let go and let God. You have to allow him to do it his way. See my way, I thought myself to a certain point. But to go further, I had to let God have it. You know. I found out I wasn't all that good a driver. I found out I wouldn't all that good of all explore with a map. I found out my comper skills was oftentimes a little bit off. I found out that my map reading skills wasn't what I thought it was. So I had to let go. I had to let God. And you gotta understand that God works in mysterious ways, you know. And right how often had I thought it was over for me? But what God was doing was he was teaching me a lesson. He was showing me something that I needed to know. He was allowing me to experience some things. But he didn't let me go under. You know how they say, God and never put more on you than you can bail. He won't let you go under. And but he did not say. You know, it's like the scripture that Bishop Olmer taught me when I was going through that traumatic thing on the internet. Man, it was really really mad trying to destroy what I had worked for and my family and new life to God had presented me. And the devil is busy. The devil don't like to see you happy. So here he comes. He puts you under attack, and here comes internet and everything, and my kids are suffering. But you know, here here comes God. Though, see, God don't put more on you than than you can bad. Bishop Olmers sent me a scripture. He sent me Isaiah forty three one and two. And then that scripture it says to the effect that you can walk through the water the rivers, and the water won't overcome you. But then it said you can walk through the fire and you will not get burned, nor will kindling set upon your clothes. I learned something very valuable that day. See, God sent me through something, but he was showing me something too. Now he didn't do it. See, God didn't bring that calamity into my life, because in Isaiah fifty four seventeen it says clearly that if anyone comes against you, it will not be my doing. But he now, this is what he promise you when people come for you. Though, see, and this is what I learned. That's why I have no fear of the people coming anymore, see, because I learned that. But God had to send me through a traumatic experience in order for me to learn that. See, you can't have a testimony without a test you know, I'm standing. You can't learn nothing without a lesson. See. So what he did was he allowed that internet thing comes cross into my life. But he taught me something. And Isaiah forty three one and two was and you can walk through the fire and not get burned, normal kindling set upon your clothing. So what that said to me was, even though you're trying to do me and it's fire all around me, I won't burn. But when it's over, kindling won't set upon your clothing. What that showed me was and what it taught me was not only would I walk through the fire and not get burned, but there will be no signs that I was ever in the fire. There's no signs of it. But not hold up though. Now he go to part though that I had to learn even though you can walk through the fire, y'all, and even though you're being flames and scorching all around you, if you trust him, he ain't gonna let you burn. But now hear what he did not say though he did not say that it was not going to be uncomfortably hot, wickedly hot in there. He didn't say that. He just said you won't burn. And when it's over, it won't be no killing on your cause it won't be no signs that you was in the fire. See what happened to me was after they tried to destroy me. Let me show you what God did from it. Not only did I not not only did they not accomplish what they set out to do, but when they was through with me though, when they was through throwing the gas and throwing the fine, throwing their hate and writing it in lyne and creating all these names for themselves so it could look like more people was hating. When they got through with all that, look at me, man, Look what he did to me. Look what he did from me. Because he taught me something that day. And I'm sharing it with you because God will do the same thing for you. But you gotta trust him though. You got to get in there and you got to let him do it. You gotta let him handle it. So just like pop Bridge is taught my wife Margie, just because you can do something don't mean you all to do something. Yeah, you could go down there and straighten the mouth, But should you though? Yeah, you can go down there and tell them all. Yeah, you can go down and stand up and make sure they know it's your voice that they're here, and you can get in their face and make a scene. But should you though? Or should you let go and let God see? So before we run all out in the streets and somebody that that that that we forming these groups and somebody go out there and do something crazy, let's hold tight. Now. I'm not saying don't go out there, but you gotta watch who you go out there with, because somebody crazy you could be. You can go down there with peace and your heart. Somebody this side, I'm gonna throw a brick through here and bust a wonder. Hold up, partner, hold up there, and what we're down here doing. So. See, sometimes, man, you gotta let go, and you gotta let God. You gotta let God have a situation sometimes and you get it in and do the things that he tells you to do. See Bishop woman and taught me a lot. He had another book out and he said, you know, knowing God's voice or something like that. I'm not sure the title but I never really knew the definition of how do you know as God's voice talking to you, Well, he clearly made a statement. God's voice has no sin in it. See anything you're talking about. Whenever you're talking about, I'm gonna go I'm gonna show him. I'm gonna get him back. I'm gonna write a letter and I'm gonna tell him down at his job. If it's sin in it, God ain't in it. See thats you now, God's voice has no sin in it. So when you say God told me be careful, because God ain't never told you to go do nothing wrong, that ain't what he told you. And I learned that too. It's a lot. So I'm just sharing the day. I hope it helps somebody today get through a difficult time because the show has helped me. And I'm just talking to myself now because I got another one I'm looking at. I'm dealing with it though. I'm all good. Please now, ladies and gentlemen, boys and girls, here we are getting today. Um, you know, we're still reeling from the actions of what's happened over the past couple of days. These these shootings, man, are just ridiculous. So Good Morning, crucially called Tommy and you know, you know, you know, you know a part that I that I'm listening to. I listened to the Republicans and Democrats. So now the Republicans, Uh, Jeff Sessions was on CNN yesterday and he was talking about how they've got to do something to change it. Well, but they never say what they're going. So the argument is the Republicans say, there are five million of these assault weapons out on the streets, and what you cannot do is go out here and disarm five million people. These guns are already out here, So that's what helps them stop any bipartisan push for gun laws and gun control, which is horrific. Man, it doesn't make any sense. I got that's five million out there. We're just talking about the one that's doing the shooting at that particular time. And there's no guarantee that this five million was already out there, or if it wasn't recently purchased over the past six months, when we could have gun laws in place to stop this. Not to mention the five minute out there, it's easy to get guns at these gun shows. If you go to these guns shows, you can get cannons, you can get bazookers and a gun show. You can just walk in and get this stuff. So they need to be stopped right here. I I was thinking this. When a person sets up shop to have a gun show, you know, somebody's gotta initiate a gun show. We've got to have laws in place where they have to pay for state officials and the sheriff's department took come and register every single purchase. See now, if you're okay, for example, if you're gonna throw a gun show, here's the fee to get the state officials day and the local UH law enforcement department there, this is their fee. And every gun that comes out of that door has to get registered. And you can buy the gun, we hold it, we run the background check. Two weeks later. After background checks, you can get your gun if you qualify. Well, don't they don't They buy ammunition there as well. If they already have guns you can buy. I think the background check is dated too, because this young man that did this in Florida, he was all on social media. So they need to check social media now with background checks and and get updated as to how their kacking out these individuals that are paraching purchasing guns. He was all on social media holding up guns and targets because we're the only one that's so free that allows guns to move in and out. However they won't. You can't carry a gun in most countries, right, blue, right, But we also have the most crowded prison system in the world. Something wrong because our our our solution to the problem is you go ahead and do the crame. We're gonna put you in jail instead of addressing let's stop the crime. Alright, UM, we'll be back to talk more about this um at thirty two after the hour you're listening to the Steven Show. More details are coming in about Nicholas Cruz, a nineteen year old identified as a suspect and Wednesday shooting at Parkland, Florida High school that killed at least seventeen people. Several more are injured. Although crews tried to escape by blend in with the other students evacuating the school, he was detained by authorities and arrested, Thank thank god. He has charged with seventeen counts of premeditated murder. Uh. He reportedly had an A R fifteen that's an assault rifle fifteen. That's the type of semi automatic rifle and countless magazines. That's according to the Broward Sheriff's Office, um Browart County Sheriff's Office. He was also carrying smoke grenades and wearing a gas mask. Okay, now here's the problem. Here's a problem with all of this. He's the guy. I'm watching news yesterday and they're saying that they got to get all the video footage they came to prepare the case against him. This is department. Now I'm stuck because see our countrymen, so that don't due process? That do Now, now we're gonna get his dude some damn due process. Do you know? It's stuff out here you can get accused of and you don't get no due process. You're just gone. Well you can walk in a school kills seventeen kids. We know's you. Why are we having a trial and wasting some more money. Timothy McVeigh was the dude that blew up the damn building in Oklahoma? Is what is him? The un Obama? It was him? We got to do that ran over them people in New York? Was him? What? What is the rest of this? The red head? That's right, it's you. It's no one else, it's you, no more trials. We gotta do something with these people immediately. And I'm and and and here's another thing too, and this is a little off the subject, but it's about the judicial system. Here's what I think, man. I think that people who file charges, who take a the people to court, know when they're wrong, know when they're wrong, just to see what they can get. Then they find out they wrong. Guess what they get to do. They get to go on skip to the house libel suits. You sue a person for something he did to you, then come to find out you in that line he didn't do nothing to you. Well, I try to make this money. What happened to they asked nothing. You can buy a gun, you can buy advice to put on the gun automatic and drive in certain states. You can have an open container in certain states open carry gun laws. And you could be a grown ass man and talk to a little baby girl that's sixteen teachers, did you hear me? They got states where you can be a grown ass man and talk to a little sixteen year old girl. And it's cool. How ignorant is that? Well, um Steve. It was reported that Cruise the shooter set off the fire or alarmed at the school, so kids would come pouring out of the classrooms into the hall during the shooting spree. While investigators are still looking at his motive for the shooting, we do know that he was expelled from the Marjorie Stoneman Douglas High School where the shooting took place, for disciplinary reasons that included threatening other students. Some students at the school said they knew that Cruise was a bit off and was into guns. I felt he was nineteen, right, Yeah, yeah, so that was his former school. Obviously he was grown student ex students, so he went back to the school where he went where he attended, or he was expelled from premeditated to Yeah, but see, we keep ignoring and I gotta keep saying this, and I'm watching CNN, but I'm watching Fox that I can't. It's amazing to me how they keep trying to make this not a gun issue when it's the guns that's that's that's cars in these depths, people use them. But we gotta stop this man eight case they assault rifles. Mm hmm. Oh, this is the only time we talked about this, Steve is when something tragic like this happens. Unfortunately, you know, then the country talks about it, then it goes away and it happens again. Well, here's the deal. The n r A is one of the largest lobbyists in our country. They make more political contributions than does anyone. So they make contributions to the Republican Party. This is a fact. They don't make contributions to the Democratic Party. They make contributions to the Republican Party. All of these candidates benefit from funding from the Republican Committee. Part of that thing is upholding the Second Amendment. And upholding the Second Amendment it allows them to freely manufactured and sale guns. They happen to not care who they sell them to, so they don't want any curbing of sales of firearms because it affects their bottom line. And if you are a Republican and you speak against the Second Amended Amendment, they pull funding from you. They will tell you they'll pull your funding and put it behind the candidate that's running against you. And do you know that when you have tragedies like this, it helps themselves more guns. Protect yourself, protect yourself. So it's a funny thing they allow for gun sales. That shows anywhere they can sell them, they just increase their bottom line. Then they turn around and go, we gotta protect ourselves. So now here go mo. Gun sales is up in case some food come at you with an a K vote to whatever it is is what you do when you put a seven making an automatic on that particular gun. But what also happens is these tragedies are like commercials to sell more guns. Really no, you're right, j there's certainly they're not definitely talking about it. And who they accept This money from the n r A is huge at all Republican conventions because they uphold the Second Amendment. This amendment needs to be amended just like the other amended. Stay ahead, you know they have some amendments in our constitution. Ain't right now, But all right, we're gonna We're gonna keep this conversation going on all morning, of course, but coming up next Aphew, Tommy's run that prank back right after this, you're listening to Steve Harvey Morning Show.

You're listening to the Steve Harvey Morning Show. Celebrities joined the loud call for gun control after the Florida school shooting on Valentine's Day. Celebrities are rallying for gun control after a mass school shooting in Florida yesterday or make that on Wednesday. Uh, Steve Harvey, you're one of the ones. Of course, you're always on the forefront calling for gun control, more gun control, Ellen degenerous, Kim Kardashian, um, the list goes on and on. Some of the big Hollywood names who reach reacted to the shooting at Marjorie Stoneman Douglas High School yesterday afternoon by calling on the government to change gun laws. Chelsea Handler said it is disgusting how many times this has happened and Republicans do nothing. Kim Kardashian called on Congress to do your job and protect Americans from senseless gun violence. Ellen tweeted no word to no actions, No laws are enough, until we end this epidemic of school shootings in our country. My heart is with the students and the parents of Marjorie Stoneman Douglas High School. Wow. I mean yeah, it's so sad that we're here again. Here we are again at the same spot. Three months, two months into the ar nineteen shootings are and then it dies down. It goes down, and it goes and then it comes back again. Yeah. Right, because we talked about it in October for Vegas. Yeah, we talked and then there was a church shooting. Yes, and no or worse than the other one. Seven teen kids, man, And that's the thing with bright futures, with hopes and dreams and promise. They got parents, they got siblings, They got grandmother's, grandfather's aunt's, uncle's cousins. How many people this affects, man? Do you know how many people this affects? Then you got teachers lost their lives protecting students. Man, This is this is craziness. But see, here's here's a deal.

You can send me something back. I'm not gonna take it because I'm gonna think it's a trick, right. I ain't telling you about time I got some money back. You got some money back. This was years ago. The only time I got some money you wrote off that miles of rotting the whole thing back, didn't. Now we see how I got it. Coming up at the top of the hour today, Strawberry Letter. You're listening to the Steve Harvey Morning Show. Before we got to the Strawberry Letter, Steve, I know you have something to say about uncontrol. I know you feel strongly about this. Here's a question. Why is it that the n r A is so powerful and it appears that our politicians are are so weak on this issue. Well, it's because here's a deal. They are the largest lobbyists in Washington, d C. They spend more money on campaigns than does anybody. They're the largest financial contributing and they contribute to the Republican Party. See, you can't think that all these Republicans really don't want to do something about gun laws. You don't think that all these Republicans really are so heartless that they don't care what's happening to these kids. You can't possibly think that. But they do care about it. But let me tell you what they care about more. They care more about their position and holding party lines and being elected into office. So the n r A controls them by saying, if you don't uphold the Second Ament, that's all the n r A is about the Second Amendment rights, nothing by nothing. You don't hear about them until you start talking about them gun laws. That's the only time you hear about n r A. So now, if you don't uphold the Second Amendment and make that, then we're gonna withdraw the funding, which means, okay, let's say a Republican does speak out against it, then guess what they're gonna do. Okay, cool, No more money for you, and we're gonna fund somebody who will push this and we're gonna dump all the money behind him next time you run, and chances are you will be out. So you can't beat the n r A at all. You can't think you could beat them if you stop taking their money. So until the top level Republicans start saying, you know what and I what we're gonna have to do, we got changing gun loss. Now, if you don't want to pay some money, that's cool, but we got changes gun loss because too many innocent people are dying, and so somebody has a courage to say that they're not gonna change nothing, and I don't want to and the rest of them, I don't want to just talk about it when it happens. Let's talk about it all during the year, all the time, all the time until something changes. Thought, some prayers, thought, some prayers. Surely we have the power to change. And half the people saying we're sitting it out our thoughts and prayers ain't pray for no. No. I mean, it's so crazy to me, man, do you know that you we cannot imagine what their parents is feeling to lose a child. Yeah. I talked with a group of mothers in Chicago, man that had lost sons and daughters to gun violence. I was just sitting there listening because there's nothing can say. But that's that's the thing that here here we are, you know, as old as we are, and when we went to school just when, never had anything like this ever, never, It was never in our thoughts. And these kids have this thought every day at any school that's something like this could happen. Yeah, they had any They have drills and practices, practice runs, something like this. Yeah, that's all we had. All right, Jay and Steve and everybody. We're gonna continue this conversation of course, all morning, but right now we need to get into the letter. Come on that buggle up, hold it for you here it is just strawberry subject, major dilemma. Good morning, Steve Harvey and crew. I am writing because I have I am having a major dilemma. My husband and I have been together for about eleven years and have two children. We're currently separated and have been going through some things for the last few years. We have been on and off again. We can't seem to get along and there is a lack of communication. We have been through everything except pregnancies outside the marriage on both parts. At the present time, we live in two separate households and have been set rated since January. We recently talked and know that we love each other and want to be together. We also know that we need help getting past some of our issues. We decided that we want to be back together, but now the problem is the living arrangement. He currently lives in the house his grandparents owned. I live in the apartment. We started a one year lease on in September he wants to move into the house. I, however, do not. The reason I refused to is because of the location of the house. It is not in the greatest part of the city, and the outbreak of violence in this area of town is outstanding. I am not too crazy about the house, and the schools in the area suck, to say the least. Our children are currently in a great school district and the environment is not overcome with violence. He and I have both lived within the city where the house is and we hated it. That is why we moved. So now he wants to live in the house and I refuse to. I would much rather keep our children in the environment they are in and get a home of our own. He dent, Now he didn't. Now I don't get that he dent. Now you know, I don't know. Uh. This has kept us from getting back together. So what should we do? We have no money to move and put our boys in better schools where the house is located, and the house needs repairs which at this time we cannot afford. So what advice do you have for us? How can we get past this reaching a compromise that suits us both. Mind you, we currently have an apartment where there is a lease until August, and it makes no sense, no sense to pay rent into places. Please help us with this, sincerely, Major dilemma. Dear, Major dilemma. This is a major dilemma because, um, in order for this marriage to work, you guys do need to be together. You know. It seems to me your husband would want to move in the better part of the city where you and the kids would be safe, happy, and the kids well educated. He doesn't even own the home where he lives is the apartment, while you guys don't own. You know, you don't own that either. Um, you at least wouldn't be living under your grandpa your grandparents rule, and you won't lose your deposit, okay, which money is kind of tight right now, so you seem to be really concerned about that. You don't give us any information as to why he's so adamant about living there though, because the rent isn't even free. So, UM, I don't really think he wants to get back together right now because he's not doing what it takes and that means, you know, making you happy, moving into a safe, secure home or apartment of your own. Uh, you know the saying happy wife, happy life. UM. In order for you guys to um compromise or to come to uh a compromise, you have to meet each other halfway. You guys aren't doing that. You're you're at an impass. You refuse to move, he's refusing to move. So until you, guys, you know, give on that. And I think it should be the husband at this point, just giving your letter. You know, it's safer and and the kids have to go to a good school. I think he should move into your apartment. Steve, how much time I got? Oh, you don't have a lot of time right now. You can as want to come back. I see something totally different. I see something totally different. I agree with what you said, though, Sherley, I really do. But I see some more stuff in this letter that's going on. I'm gonna point out some couple of things that I saw when you was reading it. And Uh, okay, hey, listen the letter. If you want to comment on the letter, it's posted, go to Steve Harvey dot com, click on the Strawberry Letter. You can also email us your Strawberry Letter issues on the website. We'll be back with Steve's answer right after this twelve after you're listening to the Steve Harvey Morning Show. Alright, get ready in about twenty minutes. Now, twenty minutes, the chapman are back. The Chapman's are back. They've been a like for a minute, but they are back with what bad acting theater? Yes, contract right there, negotiated, none of that always there, but right now, come on, Steve, let's get part two of your response to today's Strawberry Letter. Major Dilemma. Good morning, Steve Harving crew. I'm right because I have a major dilemma. My husband I've been together for eleven years and have two children. We are currently separated and been going through some things for the last three years. We've been on again, off again. We can't seem to get along and there's a lack of communication. We've been through everything except pregnancies outside the marriage on both parts. At the present time, we live in two separate households and have been separated since January. We recently talked to know that we love each other and want to be together. We also know we need help getting past some of our issues. We decided that we want to be back together, but now the problem is a living range and he currently lives in the house his grandparents owned. I live in the apartment. We started a one year lease on in September. He wants to move into the house. I, however, do not. The reason I refused to is because of the location of the house is not in the greatest part of the city, and now break of violence in this area of town is outstanding. I am not too crazy about the house, and the school is in the area, and the schools in the area sucked to say the least. Our children are currently in a grade school district, and the environment is not overcome with violence. He and I both live within the city where the house is, and we hated it and that's why we moved. So now he wants to live in the house and I refused to. I would much rather keep our children in the environment there in and get a home of our own. I don't know what it means when he says he's dent. Now this has kept us from getting back together, So what should we do? We have no money to move and to put our boys in better schools where the house is located. House needs repairs which at this time we cannot afford. So what advice do you have for us? How can we get past this reaching a compromise that suits us both. Mind you, we currently have an apartment where the least is until August, and it makes no sense to pay rent in to places. Please help us with this, sincerely, may ajor dilemma. First of all, you have the major dilemma placed in the wrong area. Your major dilemma, you claim, is you don't want to pay rent in two places. He refuses to move into the apartment, you refuse to move into the house. That's not your major dilemma. Your major dilemma is the very reason that y'all ain't together in the first place. Y'all two don't get along, and you two have a lack of communication, and you're demonstrating the same thing that you say broke you up. You can't seem to get along and there's a lack of communication. This again, is another example of you all's lack of communication. It is a lack of understanding and is the unwillingness on either one of your part to compromise. Now, Shirley's right, it seems like the smart move would be for the guy to move into the apartment so the kids could keep going to the to the best school system, but he willing to do that, and then you ain't willing to move. You all have a a major dilemma, and you all still have a communication problem. Now you're saying the letter that we've gone through everything except pregnancies outside the marriage parentheses on both parts. This means that both of y'all have cheated. That's what that means. On both parts. That means both of y'all been cheated. That's the code that I see in that, because I've never heard that before. We've been through everything except pregnancies outside the marriage parentheses on both parts. All that says to me is both of y'all cheated, both of y'all being guilty is pretty much the same thing. Now, what you all need to work on really is your basic selves and your marriage skills, because right now y'all don't seem to have none. You want what you want and he won't what he won't, and I ain't neither one of y'all willing to give in. Now you wrote this letter in and you're lotter really ain't for a compromise. Your letter is really how do you convince this man to move back into this department, because nothing you said about moving into the grandmama's house is gonna work for you. But you are convinced that staying in the one year least department will work for you and the kids. That seems in the letter like Larry surely said that this would be the best thing to do. But guess what, he ain't trying to hear that, and you ain't trying to move. Thus you have a lack of communication. And now what is y'all's marriage gonna be built on when you get back together? What y'all gonna do? See, y'all need to work on that part of it right now. Y'all can't even agree when you separate it, and you can't agree when you marry. So now when you're gonna get back together and do what? Disagree some more? See, your major dilemma ain't where you're gonna live. Your major dilemma is really how you all can live together. That's your major dilemma. How you all, how your man don't see these kids needs, How you don't see your man's needs. How both of y'all don't see anybody's needs. And this is a ridiculous statement that you're making to me, both of yours, you know, and you know, So what advice do you have for us? Get yourselves together? Why do y'all even want to be together? That's nothing. There's nothing in this letter that says YouTube people should be together. Nothing you wrote nothing in here. All you said was this one line in that is that we love each other and we want to be together. Okay, you can't. I can't. I swear to you. I can't tell. And so when I I read a letter like this, man, I just go, Wow, you've only been your eleven years. Y'all went through so much stuff. Now you can't afford to move. You ain't got the money for repairs, You ain't got the money for two rents. Yeah, and she refuses too, and so does he to move. So what you want meet and Sureley to say, we don't know how to get you all together? Because this is crazy? All right, Steve, we gotta go. You can email us or Instagram. That's your thoughts on today's Strawberry Letter at My Girls, Shirley. Thanks to everyone who joined me yesterday for the Strawberry Letter live after show on Facebook. I will see you here again next week on Thursday at one thirty pm Eastern Time. Uh, switching gears now, Steve. I don't know if you got it all out about your feelings on gun control. They're strong and we need them right now. We need to continue this conversation. And you know we keep saying thoughts and prayers, thoughts and prayers. We need to start doing something, all right. Uh'll be kidding me, man, Coming up, Like I said, the Chapman, what what what? You're listening to the Steve Harvey Morning Show.

Both of them are really big universities and everything. I got to experience it in the way I never seen before. This movie, for us, is coming at a time when people are finally waking up to the fact that diversity sales. But just seeing what I've seen of it with so many African American actors and the lead superhero being black, I mean, man, oh, my kids have tickets already, Yeah, all of them. I mean I've never seen anything like it. Man. The excitement and what's making it really cool is it is so appealing to all cultures. Everybody. This is everybody is looking for this movie. I don't care what color you are. I think you're like your kids. It's they get just they're gonna look at something that is empowering. Images of people and stuff that make them feel proud of where they come from, what they heartages who they are. It's something that you you haven't seen. And ultimately as saying, we're one tribe. And I think the message is we have to be responsible for each other. If you're doing well and you can help someone else lift them up. And that's a good part of the movie. Yeah, in this movie. Man, they got some badass fight scenes in this movie. Man, I mean they in him man paying up some stuff. He is, uh, the best fighter in the nation, you know, besides the Black Panther.

Okay, we have to let people know that are going to the movie first ahead that it's a great black everybody's gonna go see. And I just want to warnch some of my how do I say this, my wife friends, it's gonna be all black people in the theater. Now, if you've never been to a theater, whether it's all black people, it's a whole different movie experience, if you've never experienced, it's not the same the same. What do we we were? Not only are we in the movie, we in the movie into the movie. We're in the movie. We kind of Steve, we're in this movie or what we're up there? It's like us up there on the screen. We actually is from Kolana respond to the black panther because when he says something, he's speaking to us. YEA, yeah, what what wait? We're in there. And let me tell you some white people that little turnaround look that you like to do this weekend, not for this movie. And here the other part my uncle actually going to he think it's a black panther rally, My sister, they they in there. Don't talk to your brother with the turtle deck and the little jacket. We'll be back with Steve's closing remarks coming up at forty nine after the hour you're listening to. All right, here we are, Steve. We've come to the end of our show. So here we go with just one more thing, and you're closing remarks. All right, Uh, you know, look my clothes remarks to day in light of all that's going on in the world of day, the tragedy that struck the school down in Florida. Um, you know, we keep talking about hearts and prayers go out to the family, and we send our condolences, and then we still do nothing about what allows and causes these problems. I mean, at one point in time, man, what's gonna have to happen in this country is we're gonna have to place human life over money. We're gonna have to place the value of human life over our statue and position in life, especially when it comes to politics. It's period. I just refused to believe that because you're a member of the Republican Party that you don't care because they have some very very caring Republican people. It's just is all Republican people don't want to not do something about gun laws. I just don't believe that. I think that's absurd to even say that about one whole group of people, not a group of people that I can say it about. It's the Republican lawmakers who are in office. And the reason they can't say anything is because the n r A contributes so much money to the Republican Committee, the Republican Party. They're the largest lobbyists in Washington, d C. They don't have more money. The Republican Party stands on the Second Amendment. I got that. I don't have a problem with you standing on this Second Amendment. But let's talk about this constitution that we have these soldiers and people fighting and dying for, and what we give about freedoms and put our lives on allowing to to to defend and protect. Is this not the same constitution who used to say that women didn't have the right to vote. Isn't this the same constitution that said the Negro was three fifths of a human being? Ain't just the same constitution? Have we not had to amend this constitution over the years. Haven't we had to say till our forefathers the forefather Let me rephrase that, have we not had to say to the forefathers of this country? Hey, what you were thinking back in the early hundreds. That don't work today no more, because it's a new time. Women do have the right to vote, and black people ain't three fields of human being. Okay, so we made the changes this second Amendment. It's time to change because this ain't the early hundreds no more. This two thousand eighteen. And kids can't go to school anymore. See, this is what has happened. No One used to walk into a school and kill the kids in there, Well, it happens now. Nobody went to the movie theater and had to die in large numbers, But that happens now. People used to could go to church and people didn't walk in and kill everybody in the church. People used to could go out at night and enjoy themselves and go home. Well, now you go out to a club, all of you can be killed. People used to be able to go to picnics and parties and festivals outside and return home safe and sound. Woodstock was one of the biggest events of all time. Nobody that got shot out there. We'll see these times have changed, because now you go to a music festival, you got an idiot in the window with a high powered rifle killing people. Now you go to church. You got this little nothing human being walking and kill people. Columbine. You had a little red head walking over into Colorado and kill and be watching movie. How many times we gotta see Sandy Hook in the school in Florida, Columbine before we put a stop to all of this at one point in time. Man. And here's what's crazy, people, here's the crazy part about it. We are powerless, almost seemingly to stop this, but we could stop it if we understood something that if you don't fight for gun laws to be changed in this country, you will not be in office again. And I don't care how much the Rightful Association put behind you, because we're not voting for you. That would change it right there. The vote could change it. But guess what. They don't run on that. See, they run on something like this. We got to protect our constitutional rights of the Second Amendment, that we as an Americans have the right to protect our homes and use guns to protect our families. All that sounds good and right. I'm cool with all that, but that ain't what we need the gun laws for. What we need the gun laws for all these gun shows that sells guns to anybody that you can go to Indiana across the bridge from Chicago with just a driver's licensed by any kind of gun you want to. This is America. Then they drive these guns right back over the bridge to Chicago and these kids up there killing each other with them. What's wrong with this? Why are we so free of a country that were so consumed with freedom that we freely allow people to hurt one another in this country? Who's sitting there doing stuff that ain't causing harm to nobody. See, we can't be so free that we freely allow you to hurt who you want to and then we put you in our judicial system. This is craziness. Man. We have got to get together somehow. I don't exactly know how. I don't really have the answer, but somebody got away where we can organize and stop electing these people Republican or Democrats, who are not going to get in there to help make this country safe so our children can go to school, church, movies, parks, and music events. Until that happens, man, we're sitting here putting the same people in office who take the same money from these people and are told if you vote against the Second Amendment, we won't put no money behind you have a great weekend. Care about you. Keep God in your life because He can get you through all. It is God for all. Steve Harvey Contests. No purchase necessary, void where prohibited.
