The Threat is a new hit podcast from Azzi Media that explores history surprising connections in order to discover how one thing leads to another, like how movie moguls in early Hollywood helps spark the me too movement. Today, get it on I Heart Radio or wherever you listen to you go with me. Have say you gotta turn the love go. Yeah, you gotta turn to turn the time you lovely got to turn out. Come come on, uh huh I show. Well a good morning everybody, and y'are listening to the voice. Come on, dig me now one it only Steve Harvey got a radio show. Well, nothing changes about that, Nothing changes about that. Man. I was just so getting ready to come on air this morning, and I was just thinking, man, I was just having a reflective moment of just how really good God has been to me. I just it's it's it's man. Let me just say that again, how really good God has been to me. And here's a cold part. In spite of myself, you understand, in spite of all my shortcomings, in spite of all of my flaws, and and and and and and in spite of all of what anybody has said about me, God through his grace and mercy just keeps me anyway as always. You know, I was. I get taught things by people who know a whole lot more than I do. And h Bishop T. D. Jakes is one of my favorite teachers. He's just one of my favorite people. He happens to be a friend of mine too. I mean, he's always there for me when I don't have anywhere else to turn, you know what I mean? He said, he was talking about the thing that he was calling exceptionalism, and what it was all about was so many of us are exceptional people, but we refuse to just go ahead and be exceptional. We he settled, for the ordinary. We follow the pack. We try to fit in. Man, oh man, oh man. You know, I've heard my wife say this to my children all the time. When she's scold and talking to him, She'll be talking to him about leadership. You know, why are you following everybody when God clearly made you to lead? You know, she talks to him about that all the time. So many of us are born, and so many of you are born to be exceptional people, but we always trying to follow the pack, always trying to be a follower, always trying to fit in when clearly you were born to be exceptional. And one of the things he was talking about, I'm paraphrasing all this now because I gotta get it into the way that I can tell it to you. Because he's such a gifted speaker man, that's he has, he's at another level. So I'm trying to paraphrase is to get you the word where you can understand this. Why would you try to fit in? Why would you try to be uh like everybody else be ordinary? Why would you follow the pack when God has created you to be exceptional? You know that the key word in exceptional is except you. Ever you ever done this right here? You know, everybody did that except me. Everybody felt that way except me. Everybody said that except me. Everybody won't wanted that except me. Everybody went over there except me. Everybody jumped in except me except me. See why have you saying that in your life if you were not to be exceptional? See you got to say everybody except me at one point in you two, I don't know who ain't done it. You know everybody wanted every about it, voted no except me. See, so you're you're not You're not created to follow the pack. You ain't created to fit in. You ain't created to, uh you know, to be ordinary. You were created to be exceptional, as exceptional as your fingerprint on your finger is. You were created to be exceptional. Why not make this the year that you go head on and be exceptional? Why won't this be the year that you decide in your mind? But just has to be a decision that we make. Now we're not following the pack no more. We're not trying to fit in no more. We ain't settling for ordinary no more. We're gonna be exceptional. But you know, you got you got to go ahead and follow that. You got to get on the exceptional path because that's what you were created for. Why be ordinary? You know? But all of this, this comes to it has to start with a thought. You got to first think something thought to become things. A man is as he thinketh that's all you will ever be. So what are your thoughts today? Why not have exceptional thoughts instead of ordinary thoughts? Why not have exceptional thoughts instead of fitting me in thoughts? So why you want to be like everybody else? Why you want to be ordinary when you could possibly be extraordinary with a change of your mind, a change of your venue, and you don't have to be any other kind of way just because my mama was this way, my daddy was this way, or this the school I went to? This? What race I belong to? This is my sexual preference, this is my this, this is my dad one? Why? How many? How many? How many excuses? You need? I'm an excuse? What? What? What? What? You? What's it gonna be? This year that we let another three hundred and sixty five days slipped by without improving our condition, our place, our spot, our life, the quality of life we have all we cannot afford to keep letting all these years go by without changing. You're an exceptional person. How many times have you set up and said, everybody did that? Accept me? You know I was only everybody jumped in accept me? I told him I knew it. Everybody voted for that except me. And now look at it, man, it seemed like everybody went that way except me. Okay, do you get it? Do? Do? Do you understand what's being said to you that won't accept me is because couldn't it be? Because you're an exceptional person and it's time for you to take control of that. It's time for you to start thinking different. It's time for you to start acting on what you think. It's time for you to start doing something about it. It's time for you to stop taking each and every day that God gives us for granted and letting them go by the wayside. Like you got plenty more. Well, you may have plenty of more, but guess what what you're wasting the ones you got for I got you young, and you and you feel like you're gonna live forever. Okay, cool, But let me ask you something. See here, here, here, here go the part about suppose you do live? See see, everybody went about dying, But I got news for you. Suppose you keep on living. You want to keep living in the condition you in now. You want to keep living with the money you got now. You want to keep living with the relationship you got now. You want to keep living by yourself like you are now. You want to keep wanting the right relationship, the right man and the right woman, but you keep getting the wrong one. You want to keep doing that for the rest of your life. Problem ain't dying. It's problem is if you keep on living. Who wants to keep on living? Just the way they are right now. And if you could say I'm cool, what I am just the way I am right now in cool, this conversation ain't for you. I ain't got no problem with that. You know, you want to say greatness ain't for everybody. Being exceptional ain't for everybody. Becoming extraordinary ain't for everybody. Heck, becoming successful ain't for everybody. I got it. And you can come up with a way to justify your non existence and your ordinary life all you want, and that's finding dandy. I ain't got no problem with it. Because some people just gonna be regular. Some people just gonna follow the pack, follow the crowd. Some people just wants to fit in. But if you're not that person, if you want to be extraordinary, if you want to be exceptional, if you want to be if you want to dare to be great at something, and you got to change your mind set. You got to get with your creating, find out what he created you fault. You gotta quit thinking of things just in your own thought process. You know, lean not to your own understanding. I don't know where that is, but it's in there somewhere. Seeing Once you lean, if you lean to your own understanding. You know what it's gonna do. It's gonna limit you, man, it's gonna limit you. Why not see what God God for you. I would rather know what God got for me than to think of all the things I could because I can't out thank him. I haven't tried it before. All right, it's just the beginning. We're gonna have a good one. Man. Let's go. You're listening, ladies and gentlemen, boys and girls, everybody around the world, including Sherley.

The city of Pittsburgh is demanding justice for Antoine Rose. You're listening to show all right. Antoine Rose, the second the unarmed team who was shot by police last week near Pittsburgh, was laid to rest yesterday. East Pittsburgh police officer Michael Rossfield shot Antoine seventeen. Antoine was seventeen. He shot him three times last week as he fled a car stopped by police. Since his death, protesters have marched in downtown Pittsburgh demanding accountability. Several groups shot down highways and intersections across the city during several days of protest. Um they shut it down, I should say not shut it down. They shut it down. Antoine was a passenger in the car, which authorities suspected of being involved in a shooting earlier in the day. On June nineteenth, Alleghany County um Police said the police ordered the driver out of the car and onto the ground. Antoine and another passenger ran from the vehicle, and the East Pittsburgh officer opened fire, striking the teenager. Police said. One witness told authorities it was like he was taking target practice out of this young man's back. He didn't flinch, He didn't say stopped running. He didn't say anything, she said. Officer ross Field has been sworn in. He had been sworn into the East Pittsburgh Police Officers UH police force just hours before the shooting. I had heard this that he was fresh off yeah training and being sworn in. Though he had worked with other local departments for seven years. Rose Field had been placed on administrative lead. UH. Folks in Pittsburgh are demanding justice for Antoine. He's a rookie. To that, he was just new to that. To that. They were trying to Antoine's lawyers, trying to get his police record made public because they think there's something there. It's really tragic, man, because he said nothing to this kid. No, nothing to this kid, you know, man, I just it's it's so it's so deep seated, this hatred of black people amongst some people in authority. And it's not just the police department. It's in politics. It's like that Fox host that was talking about the kids at the border. Those aren't our kids. Wait a minute, man, So because they're not your kids, you can't be sympathetic to a child being separated from their mother. This this this climate that we're in right now. It just allows for people to freely think they can say what they want to say. And a lot of it is because calls. There's a man in the White House who says the things he says, And it's never been more a okay with certain people to come out with their true feelings. Which for me, uh, I knew it all along, you know, it's it's it's it's I've known it all along that this has gotten better, but it's worse at the same time. So how can you even say that? But I've always known about the undercurrent of racism in this country. It's never I don't see it going away ever. It's too deep seated. Man. It's just people think that because of the color of their skin, that they have the right to be better than somebody else. And whatever color your skin is, I got news for you. You're not better than somebody because of the color your skin. The fact that you would think that already diminishes your your, your, your, your, your, your, your whole ideal. How dare you think you're better than somebody else? About to be or it will be here? Yeah, Yeah, it's it's so sad, Steve, it really is another one, you know, another one? All right? Would you please introduce ms Anne, Ladies and gentlemen, she's here, miss and Trip. Thank you very much, everybody. White House spokeswoman Sarah Huckabee Sanders is defending the most recent remarks made on Twitter by her boss. President Trump is calling for the removal of unauthorized immigrants from the US without giving them the opportunity to explain the situation to a judge. However, Sanders says that that wouldn't necessarily mean that they're not treated fairly. Thousands of illegal aliens are removed every month without seeing an immigration judge as a result of procedures in current law, including voluntary removal and expedited removal. There's a current backlog of hundreds of thousands of cases in the immigration system. Trump is calling that a mockery, and he's blaming that on the Democrats. On strong borders and we want no prime, strong bod we want no crime. The Democrats want open borders and they don't care about crime. The Democrats, of course, dispute Trump's claimed that they don't care about crime. During a heated debate about immigration on Fox News, a man who worked as a deputy campaign manager for Trump, Dave boss told the black guest that he was quote out of his cotton picking mind unquote. Democratic strategist Joe Paine shot back at Bossy, Hey man, I've got some relatives who picked cotton and I'm not gonna let you attack me like that on television. Bossy then acted like he didn't know why Paint was so upset. However, the Fox News network did. They labeled Bossy's comments deeply offensive, holy inappropriate, and according to The Daily Beast, Fox has now suspended this guy, David Bossy, from his job as a network contributor.

All right, you ready, Let's go buggle up, Hold on tight, We got it for you. Here. It is the straw Tommy. This one's for you. So you think subject too many bodies in one bed Dear Stephen Shirley. I've been dating a man for six months now. He is divorced and has two kids, a twelve year old daughter and a ten year old son. I have never had kids, and I really like his My only problem is that he still lets his kids sleep in the bed with him whenever I'm at his house. The kids still sleep in his bed with us. They spend the weekend with him every other week, and I feel weird about sleeping with a ten year old boy. I told him I'd sleep on the couch, but my boyfriend won't let me. He promised to have a talk with the kids, and he said that he would buy them new mattresses, but they said they'd rather sleep with us. My boyfriend tried to tell me that it's great bonding time for him and the kids since they don't live with him full time. I get it he misses them, but I don't know what to do. Am I just being a mean person? Or is it normal for me to feel weird about having his kids in the bed with us. This has got to change. What should I do? Uh? No, you're not mean, and you're not being a mean person. It is not normal, I think for your man, his two kids, and you to be all sleeping in the same bed. Yeah, you're right, this does have to change. I think what you should do is you're just going to have to insist. I know you said and suggested that you sleep on the couch, but you'd have to actually sleep on the couch and insist on it. Uh, when you're over there. Um, you shouldn't be uncomfortable sleeping in his bed, but you are, and I'm uncomfortable for you. It is uncomfortable sleeping with a ten and twelve year old. I mean, is is there enough room? I'm thinking about that too, especially if you know, if these kids aren't yours, and even if they are, they should have their own room and and and he should buy their own mattresses. He wants to bond with his kids. I get it, but um, yeah, just go ahead by the mattresses, start slowly weaning them from sleeping with him in the bed. They can bond in other ways. And until then, either you don't go over there, he goes over your house, or you just sleep on the couch when you're over there. Steve, Well, this is a crazy situation to this one, and it's being put in it is too many damn bodies in the bed sleeping with a person. Unless you're sleeping with them, it's sleep is not the time unless you're a couple to produce bonds. You can bond other ways. You bond in a couple relationships sleeping together. That's why a couple sleep together. It's not healthy for a child to sleep with a parent up to a certain age. It creates something in a child that I don't know what it's called, and it's just I don't know if it's enabling, but it's just not healthy, especially now that he's requiring that you not sleep on the couch, that you over there and you gotta sleep with his kids, which is great that you love them and you want to have a bond with them, but technically they're not your kids. Now this boy is teen. Come on, see now it's aren't ten. And you say you feel a little uncomfortable sleeping with a ten year old boy, I got news for said you should feel. Telling you right now the former ten year old boy and the former teen boy to be Twitter and the way things is happening. No, it's probably happening for them a little bit earlier. You can't beat there for one of them surprised quiet. It ain't his fault. But you don't need to be there now. I'm assuming you got to be fine. Called the daddy thank you. So I'm pretty sure his boy gonna feel the same. And they ain't mad at you because they he ain't with a MoMA, no mo and all that. Oh girl, what is that sugarfoot moment? There's your loving I'm gonna make up my own mind, your sire will uh, I don't think I don't. Did she say the twelve year old girl was sleeping in that? Yeah? They're all sleep in there in there, yeah, and looks, sir, you know you're sleeping in the bed every night. It's nothing wrong. It's your daughter. I got it. I'm not even my mind ain't even in that direction. And I got you on a bond with your kids. But listen, man, it's unfair to your new partner, your girlfriend. It's unfair to her. You've got to get these kids a mattress. You've got to get him away to sleep on that own. Y'all can't all sleeping that man, And it's not cool. It's not cool. I'll see.

Sleeping ain't the way to go. I gotta be naked sometime. Now. I'll give you a personal experience.

What's your thoughts on today's Strawberry Letter at Steve Harvey f M or at my Girl Shirley. Now this Thursday at one thirty pm, please join me for the Strawberry Letter Live after show on Facebook Live one pm Eastern Time. Coming up in ten minutes, Steve is going to answer another strawberry letter from the Steve Harvey FM Instagram page. A husband is upset that his wife took a whole bunch of money out of their savings account. Wait till you hear this. Right after this, you're listening to the Steve Harvey Morning Show. Alright, So, Steve, we have a husband who is upset at his wife and posted his strawberry letter on the Steve Harvey FM page on Instagram. So listen to this, Steve. This is from the husband. I lived at home for two years and managed to save a to twenty dollars in my savings I've been married for about three years and brought it up to forty five thousand dollars. My wife, Yeah, that was good, right. My my wife put in five thousand dollars to bring it up to fifty thousand. Recently, she went behind my back took all fifty k out of the savings account and used it to pay off her student loans. Needless to say, I am furious over it. Yes, I understand, Yes, I understand marriage is not about one person. But seeing as how I alone put the forty five k in, the least she could have done was consult with me before making such a big decision. Now I am considering divorce. Divorce, what do you guys think I should do? You wow tonight? Well, he's absolutely correct in being furious, and it was a very stupid thing to do, because it doesn't make any sense. You cannot go to jail for not paying back alone. You can go to jail for not paying your taxes. It takes far too long to accumulate that much cash you've been saving, sacrifice it. Nobody saved and sacrificed it for you to go and pay off a damn student loan. It's easier for us to come up with this monthly note than it is to ever come up with fifty grand again. Come on, now, if you've had taken the five you contributed and said I'm gonna pay off my loan, he'd have been a lot more understanding of that. But this man and gutted it out. It take a long time to sacrifice and save forty five thousand dollars. You're gonna take the whole forty five and give it to the damn government as if they need it? Are you kidding me? So? All of our life savings is gone? And then you didn't tell me so you can pay off your student loans? Under did it though? I mean, really, this is your husband? Can it really is? Is? See? And it's not just that. Yeah, you've destroyed the trust and you've done the ultimate to a man. Because let me tell you something about men. We equate our ability to provide and provision is a huge part of us showing our love to a person. This man lived at home for two years, so he could say that's a sacrifice. Then since you all been married, he took it up the fortifive. You added five to make it fifty. Didn't you turn around and take it all out? Now you got nothing. You don't have a down payment for a house. You don't have any vacation money. You killed that that You killed your nest egg money. So you can pay off your student loans because you don't got how to them calling your ass. Now, let's just say she owed how much a month? What would you think would be a high student monthly? Two? D okay? I was thinking to three? No nowhere anybody pulling? Okay, So you got a student loan that's costing you let's say max three, let's say five hundred. You got stud there's five hundred dollars a month. Yeah, it's easy to come up with the five hundred than it is to ever come up with fifty. But why would you go behind his back? Though? That's if you got tired of paying it. If you have said, sweetie, can we take the five hundred a month out of our savings to pay this loan down, he probably would have said that, but she didn't know. She didn't say anything. She just did it. That's the that's right, that's right. You've you You just made a mockery of this man's work ethic. And men don't like that. Men don't like that. No one, let me tell you something once I get myself together when you come home in another two days. I didn't sold that damn house. I didn't sold your car, and I just sold everything out that damn clouds that you got in there that I can get often to get enough money to get my hands away from you. What's she gonna be for two days? I don't know, but I'm finished to steal everything out this house them. But the simple thing, I haven't said anything. This is why you don't. And you know what, though this man loves this woman, Yeah, he does love her this one. You have two different bank accounts. This is it right here? Yeah, but you have a savings account together. It's husband and wife. There's nothing wrong with absolutely people do it every day and you should. She had no right to move that amount of money without talking to her husban. She was. It was selfish. Yeah, she's deceitful. This is wrong. Yeah, yeah, gone, I stay. Yeah, she's taking some of the money. He probably could understand, but he took all the money. It's about the trust, the fact that she went behind this is your husband. She went behind his back and took all his money. I'll be going and my sister be over here to see. That's what you need to know. What you don't want is junior sister. But I supped to be over here to see yours. I can't touch you, my sister about my fi. Whatever you got left goes into an ash. Yeah, it would be hard for me to stay in this relationship because of the trust. Because if she did it this time, she'll do it. She can do it again. That's really fine what she did. And that man all of his work though, yes, Steve, that's that that's what's killing me. Do I stayed at home for two years trying to save money. I came into this relationship with twenty then I got all the way up to forty five. This man trying to save so they can have So she did, took this damn money and paid off a damn student loan, which means she doesn't give a darn about him and what he's trying to do. I'm out, yeah, all right, all right, if you want to comment, go to all social media at Steve Harvey f M. Coming up at the top of the hour of the President is beefing with Jimmy Fallon, of all people. We'll talk about that right after this. You're listening to Steve Harvey Morning Show. Jimmy Fallon has become the latest target of President Trump's late night tweet tweet storms. The Tonight Show host recently said in an interview with The Hollywood Reporter that he made a mistake during his two thousand and sixteen lighthearted interview with thein Canada Trump and which he playfully musted up his hair. Uh. Fallon was criticized at the time for being too soft on Trump and accused him of trying to normalize him. Trump fired back Sunday night tweeting, Jimmy Fallon is now whimpering to all that he did the famous hair show with me where he seriously messed up my hair and that he would have uh now done it differently because it is said to have humanized me. He is taking heat. He called and said monster ratings. Be a man. Jimmy Fallon tweeted a response, saying, in honor of the President's tweet, I'll be making a donation to uh what is this race? Is? Uh in his name? RACES is the nonprofit Refugee and Immigrants Center for Education and Legal Services, which provides legal services forts. So there you go. I always yeah, I think, uh, you know, Donald Trump man is just repeatedly, over and over and over doing things that's not only non presidential, it's just not becoming of the decency of humans. I mean, look, man, you cannot because see he's this thing that he has now is to win at all costs. He only cares about winning and how he looks in the process. So now what he's going to do is for this re election m hmm, because he can't imagine being a one term president, because he wants to show now that his first one was legit, even though he lost by three and a half million popular votes. He wants to prove that his candidacy is legiti. All he needs is the the people his base and those Republicans to side with him. And that's what's scary. And the Republicans know that they're dead meet in the next presidential election if they don't book that, if they don't back the current president, because what they're saying, then is it where we lie for four years? This is not a good guy, which they know he's not, so they're gonna have to back him, and they're gonna have to throw the weight at the party behind him. So they're trying to normalize and legitimize everything he does. This stuff with these kids at the border, man, there's not a person in their right mind who could think this is right. But when you got Fox anchor people saying ignorant mess like those are our kids. You got that lady that's the head of up the blonde lady that's the head of thettle huh, Chris, that woman Christians stood up there with them, blood shot eyes and just lie and just lied. Man. They are they are just not not the right people in at all. And Jeff's sessions. See, this whole plan to separate these families was done months ago, back in May. We're gonna start separating them and not to determine from coming. Well, the people that they're not trying to cross the border illegally. They're walking up and they're asking for asylum. Uh huh, that's people still trying to cross illegally, that's true. But man, it's some people over there just seeking asylum and we're turning our backs on these people. They're woment on the bridge holding her baby, she just crying, her son just sitting on her lap, and now they just separate building. No what he's the man that's child abuse. It's horrible. Now he didn't sign this little thing that he could have been and signed because he couldn't stop the policy because this is their policy. But man to to do it this way. This is the Jets and Jeff's sessions. What do we think when when when that racist dude got in. He's in Alabama. He ain't done nothing nothing for nobody color down there. You might as well had George Wallace and here not the comedian, the former governor, to make some changes. Yeah, there's some statewide primaries going on today Tuesday, Election Day, so good, want to make some changes and vote. There's some primary runoffs today. Registered to vote if you missed this part to get ready for the mid term election. Job we gotta turn out. Well, here's a scary part. If the Democrats don't hurry up and get somebody out that's going to run for president or the name recognition of somebody that people can get behind, Trump can win again and we have nobody. There was a poll at CNN that came out yesterday that said, amongst the Republicans, uh, Donald Trump has approval rating and speaking about the things this border control, this is taking kids. It's a lot of people that like that because it made them feel better about their funds. Like I'm telling you, man, it's a lot of people that liked that because this president has pulled the cover back on this hidden racism We've been dealing with fate years and years and years head and pulled the cover back. Ain't no more covert racist? Oh no. We I'm telling telling you there's fine people on both sides, and now the racist gets to go. Yeah, yeah, he's right. That's why all these teachers coming out this one is lady calling on the barbecue, lady calling on the on the water bottle. Now it ain't say it. And then they try to say it's had nothing to do with race. If I was a little white girl selling that bottle water, I promise you that lady went to call permit. Pack nothing. You don't need a permit to sell Girl Scout cookies. But they come everywhere and it's okay. Then they come to your door. Dog gets okay that the girls Scouts do that, but they're not required for permanent little girls selling water. What are you talking about? She ain't This ain't all right. On that note, We're gonna be back with more of the Steve Harvey Morning Show right after this. You're listening to the Steve Harvey Morning Show. A bourbon warehouse belonging to a distillery in Bardstown, Kentucky, collapsed on Friday, and it dumped about nine thousand, nine thousand barrels of booze, many of which spilled into a nearby creek and killed hundreds of fish. That's a sad part. Yeah, uh swam in the warehouse. Warehouses owned by Barton Se Distillery was storing eighteen thousand barrels, and its owner estimates it lost about half of them. The Department of Environmental Protection says much of the barrel's content spilled into nearby waterways, and about eight hundred fish have died as a result. So that much whiskey, can you fry it up? But you can fry up some whiskey bass. The company was eventually able to stop the leak but digging ditches by digging ditches to catch the booze runoff before it entered a creek. The collapsed warehouse is one of twenty nine storage facilities on the distillery's property. Yeah, the fish can't take it because that's alcohol in their loans. D ain't ain't them fishing them? Fish was Tommy, they'd be fun amateurs used to it, Like tim fish swam in that whiskey. Got me a nice dip in that. You know some of the fish made. Why would you do that? That makes no sense. You can't take that much. Accuse you ain't never try. Don't judge you, Tommy, don't judge you. Let see Julior what you want this and see Timmy the head alcohol coming out of here. He'll be all right. Gotta swam in it. I got it in a tube at Lisa just floated around it. Yesterday was National Catfish. Today some of that bourbon on your little body parts, I got the news will be swimming in the long Yeah, you let your little Rockefellers hit that alcohol. Understand it, didn't you? Yeah, you just changed that joke. You don't want bourbon and your body. You ain't got subber booty. We had another case of bourbon in the body. Would it sounds like a good idea? And these guys unless you're done, I mean, unless you want to continue talking about bourbon booty, uh crazy, thank you and other new This is sad. Actress Heather Locklear's um downward spiral hit a new low Sunday night when she was arrested at her home for punching a cop who would responded to a call about a domestic disturbance. The troubled actress, who just last week was hospitalized for psychological evaluation after reportedly threatening to shoot herself, was locked up on two counts of battery and held on twars bail. Yeah, he punched a cop. Yeah sad, YEA very sad. All right, coming up, we'll have more of the Steve Harvey Morning Show. We'll be back at thirty three after the hour. You're listening to the Steve Harvey Show. Alright. Antoine Rose, the second the unarmed team who was shot by police last week near Pittsburgh, was laid to rest yesterday. East Pittsburgh police officer Michael Rossfield shot Antoine seventeen. Antoine was seventeen. He shot him three times last week as he fled a car stopped by police. Since his death, protesters have marched in downtown Pittsburgh demanding accountability. Several groups shot down highways and intersections across the city during several days of protest. Um they shut it down, I should say not shut it down. They shut it down. Antoine was a passenger in the car, which authorities suspected of being involved in a shooting earlier in the day. On June nineteen, Alleghany County um Police said the police ordered the driver out of the car and onto the ground. Antoine and another passenger ran from the vehicle, and the East Pittsburgh officer opened fire, striking the teenager. Police said. One witness told authorities it was like he was taking target practice out of this young man's back. He didn't flinch. He didn't say stopped running. He didn't say anything, she said. Officer ross Field has been sworn in. He had been sworn into the East Pittsburgh Police Officers UH police force just hours before the shooting. I had heard this that he was fresh off training and being sworn in, though he had worked with other local departments for seven years. Rose Field had been placed on administrative leave. UH. Folks in Pittsburgh are demanding justice for Antoine. He's a rookie. To that, he was just new to that, to that. They were trying to Antoine's lawyers, trying to get his police records made public. M because they think there's something there. It's really tragic, man, because he said nothing to this kid. No, nothing to this kid, you know, man, I just it's it's so it's so deep seated, this hatred of black people amongst some people in authority. And it's not just the police department, it's in politics. It's like that Fox host that was talking about the kids at the border. Those aren't our kids. Wait a minute, man, So because they're not your kids, you can't be sympathetic to a child being separated from their mother. This this this climate that we're in right now. It just allows for people to freely think they can say what they want to say. And a lot of it is because there's a man in the White House who said as the things he says, and it's never been more a okay with certain people to come out with their true feelings. Which for me, uh, I knew it all along. You know, it's it's it's it's I've known it all along that this has gotten better, but it's worse at the same time. So how can you even say that? But I've always known about the undercurrent of racism in this country. It's never I don't see it going away ever. It's too deep seated. Man. It's just people think that because of the color of their skin that they have the right to be better than somebody else. And whatever color your skin is, I got news for you. You're not better than somebody because of the color your skin. The fact that you would think that already diminishes your your, your, your, your, your, your, your whole ideal. How dare you think you're better than somebody else? In a minute, it will be yeah, alright, Steve coming up closing remarks right after this, You're listening to Steve Harvey Morning Show.

I have a question for you, guys. My closing remarks is I want to ask you something. Do you have something that you want so terribly that living without it would be unacceptable for you? Hm, I'm posing a question. Do you have something that you want so terribly that living without it is unacceptable? And in that question, I want to give you this statement. Find something in your life that you want so terribly that living without it is unacceptable, That create submission and a purpose for your life that can't be challenged by anybody. If it is challenge you, you you you will overcome it. I wanted, for example, to find success because I just wanted to be successful in the craft of comedy. That's what I decided I wanted to be successful at because man, I was so sick of me. I was so tired of the regular me. I was so tired of not being able to get where I wanted. I was so tired of not accomplishing anything. I was so tired of waking up, going through my day day by day, just living to see what happened. I was so sick of doing something I couldn't stand to do. I was so tired of not being paid what I wanted to earn. I was sick and tired of me. I was sick and decided of the decisions I had made that had gotten me to the position I was in. I was sick of Steve Man. And I began to want something so terribly that living without it was unacceptable. And that thing I wanted I wanted to be successful. I wanted to be successful at something, and the thing I chose to be successful at was comedy. I chose comedy because I happened to be gifted at it. If you can want something so terribly that living without it becomes unacceptable to you, you have now produced a motivation that can see you through the hardships, the challenges, and the setbacks. But you gotta want it, though, and you gotta want it with every five or in you. And here's the thing. It is okay to want something that bad. I don't care. If you want to seek ye the kingdom of Heaven and and not seeing heaven is unacceptable to you, that's perfectly fine. How About if you cannot imagine not taking care of your family the way you want to take care of If that's unacceptable to you, then that's fine. If not living in the neighborhood that you dream of living in is unacceptable to you, and living somewhere else becomes unacceptable to you, ain't nothing wrong with that. If you say to yourself, man, dog on it, I'm gonna be content when I'm making a hundred and fifty thou dollars a year, then get into business of making a d and don't be satisfied till you get there. Won't something so bad, because I'm gonna tell you what's gonna happen When you get that one fifty. You're gonna want another one. You're gonna want another one. It's it's it's human nature. If you get one million dollars, I got news for you, you're gonna want another one because you're gonna start to spend the one you got and if you mess around it all be gone. You're gonna want another one. You gotta want something so bad. If it don't happen, it's absolutely unacceptable. You can't live with it. You're gonna track. Then get on track today.
