Today's show is pre recorded. Y'all know what time y'all don't know y'all all looking back to back down, giving them just like theming bu bu things and it's not me true good at mother stey, I don't joy. You gotta use that turn very You gotta turn to turn them out. Got to turn out to turn the water the water. Come come on your thing, haha, I said, ah, I show will, Good morning everybody. You're listening to the voice, come on dig me now. One and only Steve Harvey got the radio show. I feel it's necessary to explain what I say in the morning because somebody asked me, what do you mean by that when you say that in the morning. When I say huh, it's in response to David Hollister opening the song by saying, go ahead, big Daddy, go ahead, I said, uh huh. I show will. Then I say good morning everybody. Because I was raised at Ray, You're supposed to speak when you come in the room. I'm coming in y'all's room, whether it's your bad room, the room in your house, your car, your office, you know, wherever you had I come in the room or God speaks, I say good morning, everybody. You are listening to the voice. And then I got to introduce myself because as a performer, I always felt my best when I was introduced. It's knowing. Why would you walk out on stage anybody introduce you. You know you can't get the round of applause. It's just it's horrible. So I say, you are listening to the voice wanting only Steve Harvey. Come on, dig me now. Now that's old school. I got that, but that's I was once again, dig me Now, is I want you to feel what I'm about to say. That's all I'm saying. That's not a bragging thing. You know, you are listening to the voice wanting only Steve Harvey. Come on, dig me now. I'm just asking you to feel what I'm saying in the morning, because it's part of a promise that I made to God. See a long time ago, I told God if he allowed me to make it, that when I got there, I would tell everybody I know how I did it, and I wasn't gonna shortcut it or shade him on it. I say, if you allow me to make it, if you give me the strength, the courage, the wisdom you gave me a gift if you let me apply it, don't destroy myself in the process. Forgive me for my sins along the way, continue to hold and rock me when I need it. When I make it, I promise you Lord, when I get there, I will tell everybody how I made it. Well. This started back in LA when I got on the radio and I was making it okay. I was doing okay, but I had to keep my promise to God. My promise was, if you allow me to make it, I'll tell everybody how I got there. I have to tell you that every day because if it was not for that grace and mercy, I wouldn't even be here able to fulfill my promise, because I've done enough dirt in my life. Man to not be worthy. He could have easily walked away from me a long time ago because I had show walked away from him. See, and I didn't walk away from him once. I walked away from him a bunch of times. But guess what he forgave me a bunch of times. I'm a living example of hundreds of chances. His forgiveness and his mercy is available for everybody. It's the only reason I get on this show every day. The only reason I have the blessings that's coming my way. It's the only way that the things that keep happening in my life, Man, that I have no explanation for, it is because of His grace and mercy. See, anytime something good happens in my life and I can't explain it, that's usually him, he exhibits to me. Remember, I'm a forgiving god, man. Remember, So when you fall, Steve, don't lay down now, don't you lay down there. Don't you let the devil fool you that because you'd have made some mistakes that you ain't that you can't do it because everybody gonna make them. There's nothing unperfect, no, not one. So get up, keep moving, keep pushing, step on what you're laying there for. Your daddy didn't raise you that way. Look, man, my father was just about manhood. I'm gonna just tell you. My daddy never had a conversation with me about church. He beat me for not going, but you know a couple of times, but he wasn't about that wasn't his message. That was my mama's job. My mama taught me about being saved, about loving the Lord, about giving your life about the teachings of Jesus Christ. My mama was a Sunday school teacher, so I got all of that from her. My old man ain't had none of that for me. My old man talked to me about one thing all day long, hard working manhood. And when you're gonna get that if you don't get an nothing else from me, he gave that to me, so I got it. See, so, my father, you say, excuse my language, but you ain't gonna sit there like no little punk up in here. You ain't an what you're finn to do. You fin to get up and go do what you're posted to do. Now, stop all that wine and like some punking gonna get the movie. That's how my father talked to me. Now, I'm just telling you real. It worked for me though, And before you start emailing me, they had nothing to do with homosexuality at all. It's just that was his turn for a man, not acting like a man. That's all it was. It had. It was not a gay reference at all. I want you to understand that before you start emailing me. So my daddy wasn't calling that wasn't not a sexual reference for him. My father talked to us. That's what he meant. I knew exactly what he meant. He couldn't admit. No, hedn't even know nothing about that. My man clueless when it comes to that right there. So when I was getting down and feeling bad about myself, my old man, he taught me this toughness. Man, he gave me this grit, this doggedness, this go to work and work hard. That's why today, when God does bless me with something, he ain't got to weary about me not working hard because that's in me. And when I get tired, I asked that same God for strength to keep on doing so I can do the lessons he got for me. So when you ask me how you gonna do all this, Steve Harvey, I don't know. I ain't got to figure that out. All I got to do is show up with the same amount of faith for being showing up with God handle the rest of it. See y'all, Hey, Matt, tell youself, I don't see how you do it. I don't either, can I can I get? Hey man, news flash, let me hear. I don't see how you doing all that, Steve. You're doing this, you doing that, You can I tell you something? I don't either. I just wake up with the faith man and trusting that if He gonna bless me with it, he must be gonna show me a way how to get it done. See I ain't tripping on that part. See I. Once you take yourself out to how to business, you can go on and get with it. But see, if you're gonna trip yourself out with the how to, you can't think like God can think. You can't figure like God can figure. So now you're sitting up in here gonna Lord, I want this to have him for me? Then I don't know how I'm will do all that. Well, guess what? You in the way? Now? See you? Now you in the way, because see God ain't ask you to figure out how to? He said, ask and believe. Then he said faith without works is dead. That's my solution. That's the concoction that I'm functioning on. All I got to do is accept the blessing, keep the faith, be willing to work and believe God can do anything but fail. Why would God bring me this far to leave me? Why would he bring you this far to leave you? So? Why I get up every morning? I have no choice? I got to get up in here the rap. When I'm running late, Man, I try to ply through here. Sometimes I don't make it. Man, I gotta do a rerun. But I ply through here because man, Steve, you're gonna run out of something to say. No, I'm gonna just keep thanking him. Now. You can't run out of that canyon because you owe him that. Matter of fact, when I get through talking, I really ain't thanked him enough. You're shout, ladies and gentlemen, it is about to begin. To Steve Harvey Morning Show. I have selected a song for you this morning that I have just decided to just oh oh, blurted out, I don't love you anymore. It's just that simple. Explain it to the young people listening.

This is a story about marriage though um signs a marriage is doomed. According this is according now Jay to wedding photographers. Okay, there's no doubt wedding photographers have seen it, all right, we all hire wedding photographers. Was not the police. Yeah, you can't call the police. Sirens and stuff, all right. Anyway, wedding photographers have seen it all and since they spend a lot of time getting to know a couple before a big day, many can see the signs of a doomed relationship even before the IDEs, even before they're even said. Okay. Wedding photographers have shared the red flags that tell them a couple maybe headed for divorce. Red flags include here we go, a partner who's completely uninterested in taking the pictures in the first place, could be already married. A couple who doesn't spend any time together at a reception. All right, that's another sigh. That's another red flash. Her family, he's with his family. You know how it goes. Yeah, here's another one. And couples who aren't on the same page over money, that's definitely a red flag any relations first first, man, all right, here's another issue. If a couple has between a twenty and twenty five percent rejection rate plus in fighting amongst the wedding party. Wow, yeah, and other people said that he's not good for you and she's not good for you. Of your friends said you shouldn't be up with that. Yeah. And a couple couple who makes, you know, like little tiny, little bity subtle digs at each other throughout the webb, not that when we had stuff like that. You're an expert at a fixed photo. You don't get that. I don't think you're gonna be get in that draft to be which what think you? Daddy will be told you this? Oh no, so and seems here of course we want you to chime man, it's your time and when you get through, yeah, okay, well I'm just about through. But I do have a question to ask you. Did you guys have any doubts and did you see any red flags? Yeah, before you got married? The best sign ever ever. And I didn't listen. My daughter said to me. She said to me, Daddy, you ain't got to go through with us. We can just have a party and leave. I have the reception, but not another friend of match, Stephanie said, this was my undred times match d been married. Which war yeah, Stephanie, but yeah about third Stephanie says it Stephanie, you coming to my which Stephanie said, and I repeat, now, dog, I catch the next one like it's a movie a flight. Yea, I'll next. No, No, I have a short list of things that I have discovered that can happen during the wedding day or reading up to that. We'll let you know the same thing. The work come on from the wedding photographer perspective. Okay, if at no point do they want to whole hands for pictures, here's another sign at the wedding if it ain't but one person on top of the cake, the kind of make a cake like that? Yeah, just a bride or just the groove one. I'm saying, don't you don't even gotta put me up on And here's the biggest way you could tell this. This this weird ain't gonna last. If at the reception, ain't no gifts on the table. That's what people are just saying. I'm not finding pot, waste my money. This ain't somebody says, so what is that again? Really getting married? I'm gonna try to be there. I guess my favorite one was if you're taking digs like that? Yeah, but God doesn't your sign all the time? Thank you, thank you, my take of breath mint before we walked down. I don't even like each other with them a little through the groom. She coming down now? Then you up there, and this is what you turn around your best man to say he has Yeah. I don't know if y'all know this about music, but this is the absolute truth. Taps and the wedding song. Taps and the wedding song are in the same key. I rest my kids so horrible, but Jay is the expert wedding song. Same. Okay, you meet a lovely, beautiful woman, you meet her a beautiful woman, huh, you like her a whole lot. Yes, the relationship is growing. It's about that time you know that the next step is marriage. What do you do? Didn't Steve tell you to stop doing this several times day it's life and every like every month, you do it again. Damn thing, he said. I didn't try something new, Seave you got that for sure? For sure he ain't heard. He's so unmoved by this new He's heard it all right, because he felt that way about it all.

Thank you, thank you, Ja, And so I just wrote some limrics about chair to you, Jay, Tommy and Carla. Yeah, I just I know y'all know. Yeah, let me start with Tommy it's a limerick about Tommy. There once was a man name Tommy who walked around and nice self put jammis. He was quick to get mad and then turned back. Lad. Oh Tommy is like a suona. Okay, truth this one.

He was quick to get mad and then turned back glad, oh Timmy, like we don't know what we've been all right, Steve, let's get to the news, ladies and gentlemen. Miss Anne Tripp, okay, thank you very much. In Minneapolis yesterday, George Floyd's longtime girlfriend, Courtney Ross told the court how she met him. She says she was homeless and at her wits end in a shelter where Floyd was a security guard, and she says he was tender and nice. We've been through so much my son's and if this kind person just to come up to me and say, can I pray with you? She was also asked about drug use, since the defense already says that it's going to claim Floyd died because of an overdose and not from strangulation. Miss Ross told the prosecutor, yeah, they both had issues with pain, George Floyd had old football injuries, and that they both were prescribe opiates which they became addicted to. However, she said they both have been trying to kick the habit, trying very very hard. Also on the stand yesterday, Derek Chauvin's supervisor, Sergeant David Proger, who was asked about the length of time that Derek Chauvin kept his knee on Floyd's next since when the medic arrived. He said he tested mister Floyd and found that he was already dead, yet Chauvin wouldn't move off at a man. Based on your review of the body worn camera footage, do you have an opinion as to when the restraint of mister Floyd should have ended in this encounter? Yes? What is it? When mister Floyd was no longer offering up any resistance for the officers, they could have ended their restraint, And he said that that was after just five minutes, not nine. Testimony continues today. Well, it's like the old song, what a difference in day makes. The head of Atlanta based Delta Airlines now forcefully condemning George's new voting rights law, the one which civil rights activist say is aimed at making it harder for black people to vote. A few days ago, Delta CEO said he was supportive of part of it, but after that they were calls all over the internet to boycott Delta Airlines. Yesterday, CEO Ed Bastion told CBS to folks have it all wrong. Some of the comments that were made were taken out of context. We were not supporting the bill. We were supporting the fact that we were exiting toxic provisions of proposed legislation. But when you put it all together, it did not match with what we said at the start we were looking to do. I didn't say what they were looking to do exactly. And finally, at the movies, Godzilla versus Kong brought in nine and a half million dollars in its opening day Wednesday, an amount that would it would have made it a flop before the world was introduced to a monster named Covid, But these days it's the biggest opening day since to start of the pandemic, and that's even though people could see it for free on HBO Max. Meanwhile, The Coming to America's sequel did really well for Amazon Prime Video.

Subject my man's daughter saw it all. Dear Stephen Shirley. My fiance and I have been together for a while, but we don't live in the same city, so we do everything we can to spice keep the spice in our relationship. We spend We send flirty texas and explicit pictures, and when we're together it is on and popping. The texas and pictures we send are so raunchy, risque and vulgar that a porn star would blush. We can't help it. Well, now we have a big problem. My man has a fifteen year old daughter and I have always had a great relationship with her until recently when she went through her daughter's phone, her father's phone and saw it all. Since then, she does not want anything to do with me or her dad. She has not visited him since this incident. I have reached out to her, but she will not speak to me. I am so hurt because she thought of me as her stepmom and I called her my daughter. My man is crushed and he doesn't know what to do. By the way, she has been punished several times for going through other people's things, but this time is different. I do now know how. I do not know how to fix this or if it can be fixed. I think my man could be doing more to help. He's got to step up, or his relationship with his daughter may not ever be the same. I need some real advice on how to handle this and keep my family together. Please help, Wow, dear, please help. Yeah, this is a a mess right here. This is a big problem. This young lady has been punished already for going through people's things, and you know that's the problem. When you go through people's things, a lot of times you find what you don't want to find, and you see what you don't want to see or what you'd never think in a million years you would see. This is her dad. She's traumatized. This is her soon to be step mom that you know she highly looks up to, and at a fifteen year old. She as a fifteen year old, she cannot process this. It's hard for her to process. So this is a major problem for everybody all around. And quite frankly, you know, I don't I don't know what to tell you to do. You know, you want to keep your family together, Maybe you can start with some sort of family therapy. You know, you gotta try and talk to this this young girl and see if you can get through to her on a different level. I mean, but it's going to be hard because she's seen you like this. So you know, you got to talk about the respect level. Now, you got to talk about the fact that she sees you is probably somebody nasty and just someone that she doesn't want to deal with. You know, she's so disappointed and upset with her dad. But I think in this instance you and her dad are going to have to sit her down and talk to her, especially her dad. But give it a little time. Let some time go by, and then maybe maybe you can all come to the table and have a conversation. You know, tell her it was an accident. You didn't mean to uh for her to see all of this, and um, you know, I don't know this is this is a tough one for me, Steve, not for you. Yeah, it ain't nothing you can do. That is nothing you can do. Let's just start with the fact. Can't turn it down just a little bit because what I'm about to say I need everybody's undivided. Okay, come on, here's the whole letters in this right here we seeing flirty texts and explicit pictures, and when we're together it's on in popa. Here is the killer. The text and pictures we see are so runchy, escate, and vulgar that a pawn star would blush. I hadn't done it. What she's saying and what Stormy Daniels did with President Trump ain't nothing. Wow, y'all been doing photos, photo shoots and set ups from Blacktail magazine. Black Tail, Yeah, that's how raunchy. YOA Blacktail was a black Porto magazine with no makeup artist, with no no touch up. So photo, we're taking this picture, we're printing it. We ain't got money for touch up. Stretch marks, bullet wounds, bruising cuts, very colose veins, all of it. Bite mind. Now, what my question to you is when you say raunchy, risk, skate and loco that a pawn starward blush, let me ask you a couple of questions. You obviously have sent a picture where your right foot was on the floor. Well, where was your left foot? She didn't not put that in the letters. I'm just asking because how raunchy is we talking? She said it if your left foot, let me explain something to you, was higher than your pelvic in that picture right there? Who that runch you get? Now, now now that we've covered now, that's risk skate. That's risk skate. Now that you got your foot up, hide in your pelvit, what would make it runch you? What did you do? Well, now you started that had movement in it. Raunchy is movement. So you didn't send a video? Okay? Yeah. Steve's response coming up at twenty three after the hours, subject my man's daughter saw it all? You're listening show? All right, Come on, Steve, Let's recap today's Strawberry Letters. Subject my man's daughter saw it all. This fifteen year old girl then broke into her daddy's phone, and since they live a part in relationship, they send each other explicit pictures. The text and pictures were seeing a soul raunch it risk and vulgar that a pawn star with blood. We can't help it. Well, the problem is the girl and found the picture, and since she then saw it, she don't want anything to do with me or her daddy. We didn't punish this girl before for going through other people's things, but this time is different. I don't know how to fix it or can be fixed. This can't be fixed. But now let reentrate. You sent a picture that was raunchy, risk, skate, and vulcan. My breakdown is how the picture was The three things risk skate picture is your foot is on on the floor, your right foot is flat on the float, your left foot is somewhere up higher than your pilvet. That makes or risque picture. What made the picture runch you runch you was you put that special effect on it where you was a humping. Real flash, you was boomeranging your picture. Now you got that in there. Then what made it vulgar was something was in your hand. Oh, the only other thing you could have been doing. You neck it and you barefoot, you on your toes on your right foot, but your left foot is flat up against that wall. I'm talking about flat up against that wall. So that's the breakdown between risque, runchy, and volt Yeah, now you didn't done all this hill wow, and you turning round talking back over your shoulder at the camera, and you didn't mention his name. So the little girl thanks us. Hell now all she see and you yeah, and you got minny you know, to look back, but she could damn there see it yours problem. And when you got your leg up that high, you damn nig got you look right over your shoulder and right behind your shoulder. Blad daddy. That's why she don't want to talk to nobody. Now. Now the girl don't want to talk to y'all because her damn daddy. It's just the nasty. Oh yeah, I'm gonna tell you one thing, because my daddy did some pornographic around me one time. I would not pornographic to me, just around me, which would have been today, would have been pornographic. My daddy was woke up naked one night and went in the refrigerator and I was coming downstairs to use the bathroom, and he was standing in the refrigerator drinking out of ice water bottle neck and I saw we didn't have money for therapy. I'm just gonna be honest with you. I still ain't over. I'm still yeah traumatize. He wasn't as bright as today's turn around enough at me contact, and then when he saw me, he continued to drink and put his damn hand on this hill. You know, it was very different from me back then, so I didn't have to wear it about it, and so I was traumatized. This girl is traumatized. She not talking to you or her daddy. Y'all got to get in therapy, yeah, definitely, but she probably ain't gonna want to go. I mean, I mean, even if she goes by, I said, what's she gonna do? What y'all gonna do. Y'all gonna take the pictures and discuss each one, but you know she's gone talk about your torm Well maybe not. She might not have the trouble for looking, Yeah, because she didn't get in trouble. Ain't gonna need a whipping her punishing her for this, because if y'all hadn't have been sending all that nasty man and what code your fiance got where fifteen year old could get in it? I know, well, you know, why is it? Fifteen year old with his phone? That's what? Yeah, thank you, yeah, my own phone. But I mean she has a problem obviously with being nosy and go through other people's nosy then got you in there. Yeah, yeah, now your share off shot. Yeah, she's looking for something. But in due time this will heal, it will it will heal in time, But she gonna go off to college, her own activities will begin. And what y'all doing with pale and compassing to what the kids out here doing right now? I'm telling y'all right now, you think they'll get married? Who the lady who wrote the letter and her fiance? Yeah they Yeah, because that little girl the probably screen shot them pictures and sent them to her phone home. Yeah, that little girl right there, yead it probably gonna had to go on and get married and all that. So I don't know, we really can't help. I don't know what to tell you. I don't know how how nasty, hey, risque, raunchy and vulgar. There's levels, there's level. So let me guess what another picture you was on? You was nicking on a bike like her stationary bike. Yeah, she was nicking on because she was exercising and sent Yeah, on the tour the friends and you have got extra jiggy with it. You took the seat them, you sent that pole girl and all I feel sorry for the little girl. She tried to get her mind wrapping on how nasty you and her her damn daddy is.

However he want to write about us, because we mean something to that man. I've introduced Earth Winning five. I was with him when they had the ceremony for putting their hands in the side walk out in LA and front of the Good Toss Store. I did the Lifetime Achievement Award for them. They know how I feel about them, so I wrote the forward. Today, I'm gonna read you what I wrote about Earth Winning Five. This is what I wrote. I said to write about how I feel about Earth Winning Five. A musical group that has meant more to me than any other. Is a true blessing. The band's music is stored in my soul. I first heard the group when I was in high school. I never forgot the power of the album Head to the Sky. The song that I absolutely loved was This World Is a Masquerade. It remains my jam. By the time I got to college, I was all over them. As a freshman at Kent State, I vividly remember walking into a store called the Cucumber Castle and buying earth Winding Fires. That's the way of the World for three dollars and ninety five cents. At the time, it broke me, but it was or worth it. More than four decades later, Earth Winning Fire's music is by far the most played music of my life. Love's holiday, That's the way the world can't high love and be ever wonderful or in my personal top ten, earth Winning Fire is simply one of the greatest living groups period. No one put together lyrics to a melody like they did. No one put harmony to sound and rhythm like they did. No one added horns in the way they did. No one, but no one messed with our minds about love and life like they did. They remained so thoroughly committed to soul, yet had a universal sound and appeal. On top of all that they knew how to show. I can't express how fully and completely this band has touched my being. They have moved me beyond words over the years, and lyrics interpret and convey my emotions, and in harmony they seeing my feelings exactly as they are in words that could not have said it better. I've shared the music with my three sons, age ranging from almost adult to the mid twenties. I was excited when they all put several albums in that eyepod. It made me smile. It is an honor to be asked to endorse Maurice White's amazing life story of how he took his band from conception to legendary status. The book is rich in tales of brothers in song that damn Verden the base, White Philip have mercied Bailey and the rest of the heaven Sent band. God was right on time when he hooked up their skills. My interpretation of the elements is this Earth because they grow on you, Win because they move you in one loving direction. And Fire because they set your heart aflame, hands down, Earth, Wind and Fire. It's the greatest group of all time. Maurice, I love and appreciate you at the highest level. This book made me smile over and over again, learning to behind the scenes of your music, getting a chance to hear your thoughts behind the lyrics, and matching them up with mine. Maurice, thank you for all you've done for the world of music. Thank you for the insight. Thank you for your gift not only for me, but to all of us. Thank you for honoring the love the way you did, for real music that will never die, fade away, or go out of style. This thing you did is timeless. Thank you for letting God use you to do what you were born to do. Most people go through life never knowing what they were bought here to do. But you did it, man, and you did it like no one else, not before and not sense. I'm just glad God allowed me to live to head for myself because Lord have mercy. There ain't nothing like your music. Who drop that, Mike Baby? Who? Yes? I mean bye? That's how I feel about jo That's how you feel about Jos. That's how you feel about Jonas. Now I'm gonna get custed on like ts Joas in the same day.
