Today's show is pre recorded. Y'all know what time. I don't know, y'all a sun giving them like the million bucks things in the stubs, not me through good it sting to the other for I don't join me. You gotta use that turn. You gotta turn to turn them out. Turn, You got to turn them out to turn turn the water the water go. Come, come on your baby, uh, I shall well a good morning everybody. You're listening to the voice, come on dig me now. One and only Steve Harvey got a radio show. This one today I want to share with you is for all of us, h and here it is. There is a solution to all of your problems in situations. If you don't know what your next move is, that to go, I don't I don't care what it is. If if the relationship you're in it's all wrong and you don't know how to get out of it, it doesn't matter. There's a solution to all your problems and situations. That solution to all your problems, that way to make all your dreams come true, the way around a lot of this and to the weakness that you feel at times. It's prayer, prayer, a connection with your creative Could that be the thing that's missing in your life. I'm just asking because whenever I get a little bit off track, all I gotta do is think, just a moment, Steve, have you been have you been praying? Man? Have you been connecting with your creator? I know you're busy, man, I know you're busy, and I know at the end of the day you're done. You're done, and sometimes crawling into bed is all you can manage to do. I've said this, it happened to me last night. Again. I did all of this. But when I look and when I see things not moving, or I don't feel like things are going in the right direction, or I have a sense of being stagnant, all I got to do is retrace it. Because I'm working. It's no doubt about that. I'm working, but I'm i staying connected. Am I using that weapon that's available to all of us? And I pray? And the answer is usually no? And so I know, okay, okay, man, I'm getting off track him because see, let me tell you something, man. The reason the reason I constantly talk to God is because life constantly changes. People who said they was going to do something for you one day, have changed their mind to next. Somebody you thought was gonna show up that day called in late, had an accident and couldn't make it. That changes the parameters of everything. The meeting you had set up that had to be canceled because somebody was ill, That changes the parameters the time frame of everything. Because it's all connected. So if I don't stay in constant prayer and stay connected to the Creator when the thing's happen, I'm not put in my bed, I've not talked to him about how to handle it, or I'm just not aware of it and what to do next. And the next thing you know, it becomes a little stagnant that has happened to me. I gotta get back because prayer is the solution to all of my problems and situations. I have found that to be the case now. The only reason I'm telling it to you is because I know if you anything like me slash human being, then there are times that you feel anxious. There's moments of desperation. You have moments of uncertainty. That are times when you feel like you've lost your way or your purpose is a little blurred. You're not shoe anymore. Or you don't know what your next move is, or the relationship you in or the relationships you're dabbling in. They're just all wrong for you. Man, there is a solution to all your problems and situations, and its prayer. If you're suffering from any of the things I just listed, or any other thing you could think of, just check your prayer. What has your prayer been lately? About it? And this is for everybody. I often find when I get that disconnection, man, my prayer and slipped off. I started feeling a little bit less, so I gotta jump back on it. I'm just offering you a solution to it. Man, and and and and and I'm giving you a solution that works one of a thousand percent. Fust shout see. I ain't guessing at this one. I'm telling you what has happened in my life, how I did it, and it'll do for you. God has filled with mercy and grace. He knows we all messed up. He knows all of us have done some jacked up things that don't nobody know about. He know all about our past. Man, he knows all that. But He is so full of grace and mercy, so full of fifty fifth chances. But you know the thing about your life though, and the thing I had to come to terms with, and the reason I don't let out of the reason I don't let my past bury me, the reason I don't let my past define me is because my past I found out or just the ingredients needed for me to make this cake I'm eating now. My past is just my ingredients. See, you don't get rid of your pass. They ain't They ain't gonna know where they are the ingredients. But when you put them with something else, they look better, they taste better, it is better. All of our past are just the ingredients that have become the cake we eating now. Now, if you don't like the way your cake taste, then you gotta stop putting some other edients in there. Just because you started off and your cake was messed up don't mean you can't straighten out the flavor your cake. You gotta put some different ingredients in there. So let's say your cake is trifling tasted, it's bitter. Your cake is bitter, Well, you got to dilute the bitterness. You gotta put some more goodness in there. So you gotta put some goodness ingredients to take away the taste of the bitterness. So you gotta put some different ingredients in there. You gotta start living your life a little more kindly, a little more thoughtful, a little more sharing, a little more caring. And then after a while, man, those new ingredients combined with that bitter it starts overshadowing the bitter taste because the bitter taste is further behind you. Now see something that happened to you twelve fifteen, thirty, twenty five, sixteen years ago. Ain't got to be the flavor that's in your mouth now less you let it be. It's the ingredients. Man, If you're sick, it away your cake taste and change your ingredients. Put something else in your cake mix so you can get a better taste. If you don't like the way your life taste. Pray. I've been here my mama saying for years. Boy, prayer changes things, don't My mama, you said to me all the time, I said to my TV artist, is when they come see me on the talk show, before I walk on stage, I tell them these words, my mother said, I said, my mother used to always tell me this, and it's bailed me out and it might do the same thing for you. I say, whatever I get in trouble, I hear her words. She says, son, don't forget to pray, don't be ashamed to pray, and don't be too proud to pray, because prayer, prayer changes things and you better believe something. It one hundred percent showed.

I am a fifty six year old mary man, and my wife told me that I've lost that spark in the bedroom. I must admit that I was tired of having sex with her, but I'm not a cheater. Whoa? So I asked my wife to order some wigs and wear them to bed. She did it, and the sex was back to normal because it was like I had a different woman every week. But then she told her friend about the wigs, and her friend told her that I would eventually cheat whenever the wigs got boring to me. Now my wife is hurt and she thinks that I want to cheat. She stopped wearing the wigs too. How can I fix this? Come on? Why did she talk to her nothing ass friend? That's how she had got the spark back in your bedroom.

You all a confront a friend friend promise her friend is either single or unhappily married. Why would you prepare for me to cheat? You weren't prepared for me to cheat when you told me I had lost that magic, and I told you I needed a little more help. You did it. We got your magic back. Now, what's the problem. Get some more wigs. I wasn't cheating. Get some more wig it's some more panic. I don't even know where that came from.

I have to be in good physical shape for work, so I work out all the time. And my ex told me that men like softer looking women without abs and muscles.

It was a rumor that August Alsina, he's a hip hop artist, had a relationship with Jada Pinkett Smith, and August Alsina is saying that Will gave him his blessings. Now Will and Jada are denying all of this. But this was the word on the streets last week. But the word on the street now is August is lining himself up for a major ass because I don't really foresee no man giving him permission and his blessing. That don't sound like the big Willie Smith.

You saw all this is a liable now, thank you, Moto jam all right, code at the top of the our entertainment News and National news right after this, why are you doing the break? Kluck Steve saying so real, Motle, you're listening to show all everybody We're back in time for National News and entertainment news Callifred, which gat all right, so we've been talking about this all morning. Kanye West that he is running for president in twenty twenty this year. He said in part in his tweet, His message was, we must now realize the promise of America by trusting God, unifying our vision, and building our future. And I am running for president of the United States flag and the United States hashtag twenty twenty vision. So far, his wife, Kim Kardashian West is of course supporting her husband, supporting him along with Time st CEO Elon Musk and former Dallas Cowboys star Das Bryant. He is supporting Kanye dance Brant, yes, yes, yes, do not playing. Yes, but they're they're his supporters right now. So what you got is, right now he got three vote Dance. I understand Kim, she won't be first lady, So I got that. Elon Musk has always been a guy that goes out front take chances. Realistically, uh, I mean, if it was just Kanye against Trump, I would vote for Kanye absolutely, hands down, absolutely, But in the reality of what's going on, you haven't filed, you haven't submitted to correct paperwork. Democratic Convention is coming up soon, you know, so obviously you must be running as an independent. You have no idea what the campaign costs to even get your name out there, what I'm and and and and it's a plethora of other things. But if you were serious about this, then I thought you should have made it as a serious bid in a timely fashion. Other than this just to meet sounds a lot like a publicity stunt. And I ain't got time for this now. I love Kanye Dare's Brian is supporting you. Who who is that? I just feel like we don't have time. Like you said, Steve, it's time, we gotta get out. And there are some sit your ass down times, and this is it. This is sit your ass down and just But he would actually be going up against a man that he said was the father he never had. Yeah, yeah, a whole mole lot. And see the reason. See, I had a father. He was nothing like Donald Trump. They had no no similar characteristics at all. My father was about the business of manhood period, man, coldest dude who I ever met, and nothing Donald Trump has done reminded him of my father. But I guess if your father listen, you could your father you never knew or had, you could make that statement because maybe you don't have a real view of what a real father would look like. I did. I'm sorry, I just did. I was one of the very very fortunate and blessed people to have my father till I was forty two. I never knew my real daddy, but I'm pretty sure he was nothing like Trump. Who he would He wouldn't like Trump. I don't think my mom would be able to do late Trump. But dude, but the dude who was your daddy, Yeah, he was straight up. Now he was about to be straight up. He was even by the business. Yeah, yeah, my real daddy. Yeah, I'm kind of blurry. I don't I didn't tell you. I don't. I don't even know what to say about this Kanye thing. You know, anybody for Trump? Trump told him to do this because he knows just will split some of the young boy. That's it, all right, Well, you know it's time for nationals. Let's go to miss An, ladies and gentlemen, miss A and Trump. Okay, thank you a lot to talk about. President Trump delivered his Friday July fourth weekend speech addressing a mostly unmasked crowd invite, announcing the protesters who've called for the removal of Confederate statues and monuments all over the country. Statues, of course, honoring people who fought to maintain slavery and who tried to overthrow the US government. What Trump caused the movement for Racial Justice a quote merciless campaign to wipe out quote our history, defame our histories, and erase our values. This left wing cultural revolution is designed to overthrow the American revolutions. At Mount Rushmore, Trump announcing that he was going to sign an executive order establishing what he calls a National Garden of American Heroes, or an outdoor park that would hold the statues of the quote greatest Americans to ever live on unquote. He claimed that a so called cancel culture was teaching school children to hate their country. There, earlier in the day, Native American protesters showed up and blocked one of the major roads leading to Mount Rushmore. Since that area there is that monument was carved out of a mountain that's very sacred to the Lakota Soup. And now Neil Young has become just one more entertainer who does not want the Trump campaign using his music. Neil Young says he stands with the Lakota Sioux and he's not okay with Trump's people using his songs. Last month, of Rolling Stones and the Estate of Tom Petty both threatened to sue Trump after their music was played at his rallies. Trump ally and former presidential candidate Herman hospitalized with the coronavirus. You may remember him. He's the African American businessman who formerly owned Godfather Pizza. He re poorly attended Trump's recent rally last month in Tulsa, Oklahoma. Now he's sick. Meanwhile, the Commissioner of the Food and Drug Administration, Stephen Hahn get this, refusing to either confirm or denied President Trump's claimed that quote, ninety nine percent of COVID nineteen cases are harmless. That's what the President said. There's a movement now to change the names of streets around the country honoring Confederate heroes and SEABLA. Black Lives Matter protesters struck and killed by a man who drove his car into the group on a highway on Saturday morning. Another demonstrator also a woman fighting for her life. The driver, twenty seven year old DeWitt Killet arrested and booked on two counts of vehicular assault. The statue of Christopher Columbus thrown into the Baltimore Harbor over the weekend. But but white racists are suspected of taking down a statue of Frederick Douglas in Rochester, upstate New York on the weekend. Sad news. Oscar winning film composer Eneo for Raccone died this morning at age ninety one, and this is one of his compositions. Now back to the Steve Harvey Morning Show. You're listening show, Okay, everybody, you know, I'm just back on the sack and running show today. Just want you to know you're looking for Shertan. She ain't here today. We can tell, yeah, because if she was, you damn show wouldn't be talking to Go ahead, Carlin, what you got, Carl. Here's a story. Did you guys say this trending viral video about this racist white couple in northern California. They in this town, they defaced the Black Lives Matter street Murley, Yes, yeah, yeah, I know. What was so good about this story? What use black pain? Yeah? Yeah. So, as Jay was saying, this woman was caught on video by onlookers while painting using black paint, like Jay said, over the yellow Black Lives Matter street mural. And this is in Tina's, California. This has sparked outrage. The lady and the man. Uh, they were out there and they said that they were tired of the narrative of racism and police brutality. Take a listen. This is racism, is what it is. There is no impression. There is no racism. It's a leftist lie. It's a lie from the media, the liberal left, White people, probably police brutality. People are resisting arrest, don't have a running with the law, don't resist what's happening. Wow, see see see. You know what's amazing the level of ignorance in people. There is no racism, there is no police brutality. Really, what planet your ass been living on, because that's all we know about. It's racism and police brutect The fact that you are covering up a Black Lives Matter sign, it's racism right there. You sent up here talking about you're tired of the narrative. You dumb backwards, bigoted, racist butthole who practice racism, but you don't think it's racist. That's the whole problem. That's the problem with that god that's in the Trump administration that this says that he doesn't think there's any systemic racism. No, there's no such thing as systemic racism. Excuse me, sir, you're in the power of position. That's the problem we have. So you see no reason for change, because if you don't think it exists, why would you change? And that's the problem. The real problem in this country is you have so many people who won't who are trying to act like they don't know what exists, when they know getting hair well, it exists. I'll tell you what if it was happening to you, I bet your ass would think it would exist. I'm so sick of these people, man, I'm just so sick of all of them in denial because you want to say there's no police brutality. Stop disobeying the law. What gives the police a right? What day can he wake up because he got a badge on and a gun and decide because you broke any law that you should die today? I decide who live or die today? Man? Miss me with day, thank you. Coming up at thirty four after the aur President Trump claimed that of the coronavirus cases are harmless. We'll talk about it right after this. You're listening to show. Hey, we're back, everybody. What is this kind of President Trumps? He's made so many crazy statements? What's the newest? While junior? During his remarks on the fourth of July during a White House Independence Day event, Donald Trump made a dangerously inaccurate claim that of coronavirus cases are totally harmless. Can you believe? He said? Oh so so? Ain't it about a hundred? Sometimes people did Tommy. There are more than two point eight million cases of coronavirus in the US, and almost one hundred and thirty thousand Americans have died from this virus. Let me ask you this question. If cases are harmless, why was he taking her dropsic clorical? Yeah, I mean it's harmless. What is your ass taking all the pels for it's harmless? Gonna get it? What is you? What's you taking drugs? Are you getting tested every day? Man? Why is everybody around you tested? Why do you live your life in a cocoon? Yeah? It ain't. Never do it. But brother, his leadership, his leadership and lack of not taking this seriously I mean we all saw this past weekend, the fourth of July weekend, large crowds. Yeah, no, no, no masks or anything. Jay mount Rushmore, they went and see him and check this out. Your son's girlfriend has it. You think she'll be back over the house soon. I don't think so. His son, yes, yes, well bet you ain't gonna have your son around your ass. See you next year. Yeah. Hey, this is how sere it is. When Winton came from Dubai when winter was in Dubai International and we had him get on the plane because they was gonna shut down all the travel. When he came home, he came to the door. My wife would't let him into though, your own son. She gave him the key to the guest house and that's where you stayed for two weeks quarantine until we get you tested. When he tested clear, she let him in the house. Yeah that makes sense. Yeah, you know, we saw the large crowds gather over the weekend in water parks in Michigan, Wisconsin, Lakes of the the Ozarks, Florida, thirty four states. Over thirty four states have report a spike in cases of COVID nineteen and hospitals are overwhelmed with patients in Texas and Arizona. So for the President to not lead by example and not listen to his own public healthcare scientists and doctors, I just I don't understand. Why doesn't he take this seriously? But worse than that of the doctors who won't speak up against Trump is right around them, and you skirt the issue. So I fought them just as much as I fought Trump. Well, they are going to lose their job. Here's the real and I know you shouldn't care about that more than but once they make the one statement that they're gonna be out of work, here is his problem. Donald Trump only cares about winning in November again, and he don't care how many lives it costs to get the win. What he's done is remember he was out there every day talking about COVID nineteen. Then all of a sudden that death total kept climbing, so he decided to distance himself from the COVID nineteen because he couldn't control it. Then he said, governors, do what you want to do, when he clearly said he has to all powers say so. But instead of putting his foot down and saying, hey man, this will help the entire country. We just stay closed a little bit longer. But because he wanted to get the economy red back up. So now let me show you something. Since people went back to work, cares what employment rolls by eleven percent. He gonna wave that in their face come November. But he also got to wave that. What Joe Biden got to do is waved that death toll in his face. You know, they really don't have to because he cares only about winning. So whatever, either, let's get the economy running and and the big boys that support him. They make money off COVID, the people that sell these masks and all this stuff, and hospitals, they're making money, man, Yeah, yeah, Coming up next, Get ready, nephew Tommy's prank phone call coming up right after this.

The ideal man is on this radio show. A woman wrote in says her ideal man is on the joke. She loves his sense of humor. She know he has a hot sauce line and he's on the show. What else does he do for a living. She don't need his money because she's retired. She got a big old house. She's an empty nest at girls going off to college and she wants it gonna live her life. Something happened twelve years ago. She got divorced twelve years ago, and she just wants to know. You know, she doesn't know if he's single, but if he is, she liked to get to know him after the pandemic is over. She loves it. Sysy him. Well, the person on this show you referring to his Jathan Brown. I've known Jay for exactly thirty four years thirty four Yeah, oh you wit, you wit, ain't nobody else got no damn hot sauce. That the process right there. And Junior don't live. Junior lived by his house, but by himself. But a damn sure, ain't no big ass house. Junior been zooming in. We see the same kitchen everything. Jay, you haven't been in four five rooms when we zoom. Junior been sitting in that down room table. You see his whole kitchen and everything. So it ain't Ji and Jay. We have been friends for a long time. First of all, let me tell you a little bit about Jonathan Brown. Sitsy, human, extraordinary, one of the greatest comedians I ever met. He launched, He helped me launch my comedy career. As you know today, no one taught me more about perform than Joy Anthony Brown, not a single living soul, No one more than Joy Anthony Brown. I was inspired by Richard Prye. I was motivated, but I learned this business from Joy Anthony Brown. Loyal to a flaw, friendship exemplifies the word of friendship. He is there for you. The term may day goes back with me and him all the way since eighty seven. We got so close. There were no cell phones. Whatever we got in trouble, we would send a message to other del's answer machine and say may day that means, hey, bro, you got to find me. We would meet each other on highways and rest stops and hotel parking lots and comedy clubs, just to be that. I don't know anybody a better friend. But you're not looking for a friend. You're looking for you want someone who's dedicated, loyal, problem solving, willing to stay in there and fight when the tough get going, when the when the going gets tough, the tough get going. You want that. You want someone who's willing to work through the marriage when it gets hard. You want someone you can depend on, come home and know he's there. You want someone to ride out the rest of your life with, to make it to the take. You want someone to laugh and go dancing with all of that. This is not the one, what, Steve, Why did you say that? This old bastard. The moment you piss him off, the marriage is over. Don't give it down, yess wants. He starts sitting outside that house looking at that dough. He won't even go in yes, chances that it is ended. Now. I'll admit Jay and I both have made some mistakes, made some bad choices in our life. I happened to believe in love, and I think that it's worth one more try love. He don't give a damn about love. Don't tell him you love him. If you want to hear it back, don't say it to him. Steve, are you serious? He right now? Jay, it's Steve telling the truth. Well, oh my god, can't stop laughing, laughing, He just laughing. I'm nail I'm nailing his ass. This is a comedic crucifixion. His ass is on the cross. No, Jay is the coolest dude man. If you want to have fun, this is the guy. But if you want that commitment to that fun the rest of your life, and we ain't gonna do that. We're gonna have some fun, but not the rest of your life. He could do it for a portion of your life. We're not fitting do nothing for the rest of your dad. The only thing he fitted to do the rest of his life is be j Anthony Brown the rest of his life. He promising you nothing. She let me tell you something. He don't break promises he just don't give you no no, no problem. No. See, he don't go back on his word. Jay. Jay is a trustworthy dude. Man. Here that dog Jay, he beat there, he beat there. He tell you're gonna write He gonna write it. Now. If he don't tell you that, don't be looking forward and then telling like you didn't write it. I didn't tell y'all it's gonna write it.

Tomorrow, we don't need to be booed up. We need to boot up to see tomorrow we up, then we'll come back and get booed again. It takes a special woman to want that now. I don't know if that's what the ladies looking for. It is posted comment on Today's Drive FM or Instagram and Facebook and coming up at forty six after the hour. I got a pour from y'all. About fourth of July, were two a here you're listening show everybody. We're back to Steve hurt mort show. You know this past Saturday was the fourth of July. Did y'all watch fireworks in person? Or did y'all watching virtually? They tried to do something stuff. It was crazy. It was kind of weak. It was weak. I don't know where y'all live. Yeah, I don't know. Whe y'all was like a war I'm serious. Yeah, a lot of neighborhood you know. Man. I heard fireworks, but I couldn't see them. No, exactly neighborhood stuff. I heard him, but I'm from the hood. I've heard that before. You heard it before. It wasn't much for you. But it was like a war zone over here in my apartment. They over here popping them, and they're gonna say, what the apartments on for our skates? So I did, will pick up my opin and just document at the moment, right, so wrote? I wrote a poem. I wrote a poem. I wrote a poem by fireworks, a matter of fact, called It's called Julior's Fireworks. Wow, Hey, hey, can I do this? Can I say this? When Junior finished his poem? Can we go around the room and get it from one to ten? Yeah? Here we go, the Junior's fire work poem. Now I'm not really one that likes to complain, but the fourth of July was off the chain. Independence Day was just crazy as hell, because if it wasn't in bairut, hey I should couldn't tell what was all that noise that was going on last night, car alarms, ringing, exploding, flashing lights. I was trying to hang, but I was like, bro, these food out here doing full blown firework shows. Remember them little sparklers we used to have, or them little fire crackers they used to burn out rear rear real fast. Not in twenty twenty. Y'all heard what I said. Niggles had me scared. I hid up under my bed, just boom boom. They didn't think of the costs. A whop one of them foods blew their damn finger off the end. I love it, thank you n word, And it sounded like it. No, I didn't, no, he said the end. Now, I like at the beginning, when he was struggling to get the four four he got stuck on the said have to give you something like I'm gonna have to take two points for your start off because I got stuck in the block. You can't back on the Okay, All right, here we go. I give him an I'm gonna give him an eight because he was stuck in the bath. I got you, I got you a seven. June. You clear your throat right before with every time that bothers me right there, A nice sething dough. That's what I do. Okay, I'll give you a four from start to finish. When you get the point five back you're listening to Welcome Back, Carla. We had some news down in Atlanta over the weekend. What's going on? It was horrible. Uh. Atlanta Mayor Kesha Lance Bottoms was on the news last night and uh, an eight year old little girl was fatally shot in Atlanta Saturday night near the area where that Wendy's where Ray Schard Brooks was killed by a former Atlanta police officer. Her name the little girl is her name was Sequoia Turner, and she was in the car with her mother and another adult friend. They were driving. They exited the freeway. Um from early reports of what I'm hearing, individuals had blocked this entrance to this parking lot. They started just shooting at the car and they killed this little eight year old girl, a Sequoia Turner eight years old, and so Steve you know, we were kind of talking guys. We were talking earlier about yes protesters, but just like the mayor was saying, you know, we're killing each other are yeah, there we are. You know. Um, I think that we have to The movement is real. Black Lives Matter is a very very real movement, and so I think that, Listen, we do have a problem with racism in this country, a huge problem. It's not a new problem. We do have a problem with police brutality towards black people. And it's a fact that it's aimed directly at black people because it never happens to white people. So I got that most people are able to see that now, well not most, but a lot of people are able to see it right now. So we do have Black Lives Matter has to grapple with this. But we're going to have to turn Black Lives Matter into an overall campaign also after we get some laws, as we get these not after, but as we get these laws change, as do we get some things done to stop these policemen from killing us the way they do and have done. We've got to take this campaign into our communities, and we have got to get black men and our communities involved. The only way to stop these killings in our community is black men got to get involved. Because the major perpetrators are these crimes or black on black crime are young boys, African American boys. The reason they have it is because they are of the disfranchise and misguided sector. And we've got to recapture them mentally at an earlier age so that we get them to understand that black lives matter everywhere to everybody, and it's our responsibility to take that mantra and make it a factor in our neighborhoods. The only way to get this done with black men the government. They can't change their own policies. Look, we've got to get some economic things done in our community, because economics drives crime. Low. Impoverished areas you have crimes. You go over the Appalachian Mountains, they still running moonshine up there. You're running these poor white communities. They selling meth, They selling meth man trailer parks all across this country. So don't you dare tell me that it's just black people, because it ain't. Because crime is perpetrated by lack of opportunity and economics. So we got to get some economics going entire community. That I do understand. But we also in the meantime have to get more black men involved with black boys lives so we can get black boys off these streets and get some guidance. And that's done with mentoring, period, because black lives gonna have to matter to everybody all the way across the board. The little girl should not die. That's true. Lord, coming a girl. More of today's trending news stories on the Steve Harry Morning Show, with twenty minutes after that hour back you're listening, show heard anybody. We're back Steve Hurry bough to show call us some big news out of Mississippi. Well, Mississippi lawmakers voted to remove the Confederate emblem from the state wag. Finally, finally, yeah, yeah, biggest news because Mississippi, Steve human, Mississippi. I'men in Mississippi. Mississippi ain't no joke with dair racism. I mean inside in the open. It's out in the open, out in the open, that's right, Jay. The Mississippi State House and Center, it voted to remove the current flag and a new flag will be designed and a new flag cannot include the Confederate symbol and must have the words and God we trust. So the citizens of Mississippi say it's time to say goodbye to the old Mississippi. So that finally that's good news. You can clap all you want to, but you know what they just did. It increased the sales of Confederate flags off the hook. Now, these people working non stop because they're gonna buy them. That's just that power. It's harder than to give up. Man, it's the way of life. It's it's it's it's it's a symbol for them, for them, right that they that they think is their power, their heritage, right when they they con clueless to the fact that that heritage, how it affects black people, and they could care less. Yeah, they're always talking about our forefathers, were your forefathers? Was wrong? Yeah, we have more to Steve Harvey, more to show in some trend of news at thirty three after the hour. Okay, you're listening to the show, all everybody, we're back in time for national news and entertainment news. Callifred, what's you got? All right, So we've been talking about this all morning. Kanye West that he is running for president in twenty twenty. This year, he said in part in his tweet, his message was, we must now realize the promise of America by trusting God, unifying our vision, and building our future. And I am running for president of the United States flag and the United States hashtag twenty twenty vision. So far, his wife Kim Kardashian West is of course supporting her husband, supporting him along with Tesla Ceo, Elon Musk, and former Dallas cow Boys star Das Bryant. He is supporting Kanye Dan's Bryant. Yes, yes, yes, I'm not playing yes, but they're his supporters right now. So what you got is, right now, he got three vote dance. I understand Kim, she won't be first lady, So I got that. Elon Musk has always been a guy that goes out front take chances. Realistically, I mean, if it was just Kanye against Trump, I would vote for Kanye absolutely, hands down, absolutely. But in the reality of what's going on, you haven't filed, you haven't submitted to correct paperwork. Democratic convention is coming up soon, you know, so obviously you must be running as an independent. You have no idea what the campaign costs to even get your name out there, what I'm and and and it's a plethora of other things. But if you were serious about this, then I thought you should have made it as a serious bid in a timely fashion or the This just to me sounds a lot like a publicity stunt. And I ain't got time for this. Now. I love Kanye, Dad's Brian is supporting you. Who who is that? I just feel like we don't have time. Like you said, Steve, it's time, we gotta get out there. And there are some sit your ass down times, and this is it. This is a sit your ass down and just But he would actually be going up against a man that he said was the father. He never had a whole mole lot and see the reason. See I had a father. He was nothing like Donald Trump. They had no no similar characteristics at all. My father was about the business of man period, man, coldest dude that I ever met. And nothing Donald Trump has done reminded him of my father. But I guess if you're fatherless, you could your father. You never knew a head. You could make that statement because maybe you don't have a real view of what a real father would look like. Well, it's the last break of the day until all lives matter, the black lives matter, Black lives matter. Yeah, we have Steve's closing remarks coming before the nine minutes after the hour. This you're listening all everybody was the last break of the day. We're back, you know. Yeah, what day Monday. It feels kind of weird. I mean, after all that time I'm standing up late, there's for no reason. Just up somebody, it's all y'all game weight, Yes, I have, Timmy, Yeah, and and I'm exercising, so well, that's good. Jay. I'm eat when I'm eating more than I'm morgan on. Hey, in the words of Lee Haney, you cannot out train a bad diet. I wanted to tell Tommy this, Steve. We wanted to give a shout out to the protesters in Baltimore. Did you see this, Timmy? You love these kind of stories. They pulled down the statue in Baltimore of Christopher Columbus using a rope, and they dragged it down the stairs and tossed it in the harbor. Look what we discovered. Okay, come down from that point, hey, listen, So, so what wasn't that? Can we tear that mountain down. What's the name of that mountain? Mountain Rushmore, whole mountain down. We just changed the faces. We put Malcolm X up there. Yeah, Barack Obama boy in in a flavor. Flavor. They were a stallion, Lady. People would die before the stallion. Don't not not the face, just that asshole. It ain't enough rock up there, Jake to sculpture that. Wait a minute, hold up, Steve, you don't want none of this, man, You n I got to do clothes with remarks. Man in the right state of mind, we need to you know, it's a deal. You know, um huh. You know. I've done so many closing remarks of late about all that's going on about racism in this country. And I'm not the spokesperson for black people, but i show't know how black people feel because I've been black for sixty three year. Is it's not new to me. It's not of these protests are not new to me. The being sick and tired, of being sick and tired is not new to me. I am quite still a bit myth though, at the attitudes of some people. After all the evidences in all the video footage is viewed, all of the protesters have spoken, all of the mothers that have been on TV and cried over the loss of their sons. When all of the facts are in, I am still a bit myth though, at how so many people look at this and don't see nothing. Long. It's damned and disheartening because I just don't understand. I mean, at one point in time, you would think, man, that would be a little bit of empathy. I got you can't imagine what it's like to be black. I'm not asking you too, but I am asking you to imagine this though. Imagine what was happening to black people if it were happening to you, Just how would you feel? Okay, stop the fact you can't even begin to imagine what it's like being black. Stern stopped that, I know how you know, you don't know. You can't. I promise you you can't, and so away with that. But can you imagine for a moment, how would you feel if they came into your churches while you was praying and praising God and it got shot and murdered. How would you feel if they came in, if they came into your synagogue the way they do Jewish people and murdered them and walked out. How would you feel if they slaughtered your children? If you kept seeing black kids get shot down by police, if you kept seeing your sons, who wore the same skin color as you repeatedly in the news, die at the hands of police officers, how would you feel? Frederick Duglas said, in a long time ago, he said, there's not a man alive today who would feel the slavery is right for them. So I'm a bit myth that you can't even place yourself and imagine that. So of recently when you see the white couple that's taking black paint and painting over the Black Lives Matter mural and then saying, I'm tired all this talk about racism. There is no racism. I'm tired all this talk about police, police brutality. Obey the law. We did that. We obey the law. We stopped, We put our hands up, we go down our knees. We allow you to cut for us. You still kill us. We do that. We obey the law. We pull over, we kneel. Did you see the picture of the man he got on his knees. They shot him. Anyway, you pull us over in the car, We stop. We show you the license we have to carry a gun, and you kill us anyway we do, we stop all the time. We keep doing it, y'all, So I'm a bit miffed that you don't see that. I'm miffed because of the fact that we ask you over and over and over to stop putting your symbols of racism in our face because your Confederate flag affects us differently, and you keep talking to us about your culture, your history, your forefathers. I want to say something about your forefathers. Your forefathers was wrong. They was dead wrong. A lot of your forefathers own slaves. So know why you want us to sit up here and have all this faith in Some of your forefathers wrote in the Constitution that constantly has not included us. Your forefathers used to say that that women couldn't vote. Your forefathers said that the negro was three fifths of a human being. This is what your forefathers wrote. Y'all didn't amend it that. Y'all need to mend some most stuff because your forefathers was wrong. They weren't perfect people. They were slave owners. So excuse us when we don't feel the same way you do. Those are my closing remarks, okay. For all Steve Harvey contests, no purchase necessary, void where prohibited.
