Today's show is pre recorded. Y'all know what time. I don't know. Y'all have a sun giving them like the million bucks things and the shove me through. Good to mother. I don't join jo turning. You gotta turn to turn them out. Turn you got to turn out to turn turn the water the water go. Come come on your baby now, uh huh, I shall will. Good morning everybody. You are listening to the voice, come on dig me now. One and only Steve Harvey. Man got a radio show, man, Yeah, I do. Steve Harvey got a radio show because I can't tell it to you any other way because God has been so so very amazing to me. But the same God, and there is but one that same God is. It can and will be amazing in your life if you just allow it to happen. You know. I was somewhere, you know, and I was driving on the freeway somewhere, and I saw bill board and it was a guy in a field on his knees. And on this billboard it said something to the fact, when when you've run out of answers, try prayer. I was. I was going somewhere and I don't even remember I go so much, man, I was just going somewhere and I saw this billboard and I thought about that, And man, I cannot tell you how true of a statement that is. When you've run out of answers, when you don't know what to do, when you feel weak, when you are at a low point, when things just seem to keep happening to you, and you don't understand why prayer is an amazing weapon. Prayer is available to all of us. Here's a deal. You don't have to go through the all of that you're going through alone. See, I'm talking to men, women, boys, girls, students, leaders, bosses, employees. I don't care what's happening. I don't care what your situation is. I don't care if your relationship is all jacked up. I don't care if your kids and your relationship is jacked up. I don't care if your relationship at work is shot. Your co workers seem to always make you the buddy end of the joke. You always somebody always talking about you behind your back. You're finding it more and more necessary to try to hold your head up and walk past these people when some days you can't even get your chin up off your chest. If you're a woman out there and you've been alone by yourself for so long, and you're just tired of being alone. You really want a relationship, you really want to be have a mate, you want to meet your soul mate, whatever it is, whatever it is, prayer is the answer. You are listening to a guy who is a direct recipient of prayer. I can't tell you anything that I've gotten out of that I didn't pray about. Oh, now, there are a lot of things. Hold on, let me backtrack a little bit. There are a lot of things that have happened in my life that I've gotten past without praying, because I think my Mamma was praying for me. And then a's this thing that God has called grace and mercy that he just somehow keeps us all waking up every day without foot on some form or solid ground because He's just waiting on us to come to him. But y'all, if you can implement prayer into your day every single day, and I'm talking about put it in there at the top of your day, put it in there in the middly your day, put it in there when you close your day out, when you're sitting at your desk and ain't nobody bothering you. That's a good time. Now. Look, you don't have to make no scene. You ain't got to let everybody know. Oh I'm spiritual, I love God looking me. Oh I'm down, or you ain't gonna do none of that. Matter of fact, don't do it for that reason, because if that's your reason for doing it, that's gonna be your reward. If you want somebody to just say, oh, they pray every you know, they pray at lunch and they had a Bible on their desk and they have a bunch of highlights in it. If you're sitting it out there so people can see that that's what you do, then that's gonna be your reward. Please, No, you, that's gonna be your reward. What I want you to do, it's pray. Ask God for the things the desires of your heart, have a faith, believe in them. But pray earnestly. Man. I mean, actually go at it with saying, hey, God, listen to me. I can't do this without you. I need your help. Listen, man, I know a lot of people that pray. I know a lot of it. If I told you the rich and famous that I talk to that pray constantly. It would amas you. Go talk to God about it. Man. Matter of fact, you have already got yourself into trouble. Go talk to God about it. You can't see no way out. You're in a situation. You're thinking about doing something straight crazy. Pump your brake's partner. Slow down a little bit, my man, slow down, don't don't. All you're gonna do is make a situation worse. Go over there today and talk to God. Talk to God for real. Just and look, man, you know what. Man, Sometimes I've gone to God and I've just said, Hey, God, I don't have a clue. Matter of fact, I'm so jacked up right now. God, I don't even really know what to ask you for. I just need some help. I'm so deep is some mess right now. Not only can I not see the way out, I can't see my way around. There's a there's a poem calling Victus, and the opening line says, out of the night that covers me black as a pit from pole to pole, I thank God for whatever be from my unconquerable soul. That this line is so deep. It starts off saying I am in deep trouble. I'm in a pit, black as a pit, from pole to pole. I'm talking about man. From over there to over there, it's pitch black and and and man, that's man. You've been in that situation before, y'all, because I have. I'm talking about black as a pit, from pole to pole. God is there, God is available. God is always standing by. He just wants you to come to him. See, he's been coming to you a whole lot of times. He's presented himself. I can't tell you how many times he's shown you how good a god he is. He's given us all grace and mercy without us asking for He's gotten you through some things. And you looked at him. Who, Man, I don't know how the hell. Okay, that's cool, I'm cool. No, no, no no, no, no, that wasn't cool. That was God. Pray man, when you out of answers and you don't know what to do, pray. If you see some trouble coming, pray if you already got into it, Pray if you don't know the answers, Pray if you can't see no way out, pray. Pray man, Talk to God. Don't make a scene, Just talk to God, all right. Very important you're listening any show, Ladies and gentlemen in us upon us to Steve Harvey Morning Show. Us here we got a great show for you.

Greed, good evening, good morning, afternoon, whomenel a, you are listening. We gather at this grow garious moment into prosity, impetize. We don't or re energize, Deacon, We fraumatize forwardly in this way we realize when you when you speak, you you use words that a lot of the congregation does not know, and you obviously is speaking for yourself. All right, everyone, no one else says these things but you. They just don't have the voice that I have. No, no, no, no, they don't have the vocablet see you you you run up on a on a dictator shield. That's a that's or spontaneous partifically of the diction, but any else partifically that's CC right now. If you can't repeat it, it's because you don't know it. Now. If that I can't repeat it, I just I've never heard it, and nobody else have cause you've never heard it. Don't mean exactly you've never heard the philosophical or scientific equation for evolution. But you that don't mean you're gonna know it. Well, what is that? What is that formula you're talking about? See right there. I'm not gonna tell you that because you're not gonna know it, know how, But why don't you do the one thing that you do know and that's how to complain? Why don't you do that? Don't worry about me. I'm not worried about you, but I'm just trying to converse with you that nobody knows when you when you start preaching and you thank you philosopher fighting, nobody knows what you're saying. That's how I'm saying. That's you get shame on you? This are you? Why are you waiting time? I'm not complaining, but now all your church complaints did not just turn into deacon complaints.

Now we cannot. I'm gonna bring that up later on. But that what you want? You don't run up on this hill. So here's the deal passed the app there are quite a few church complaints today and there were people that was just very upset about some things. Now here's what I thought I would do differently, because you always get up upset with me, with me bringing Jesus this boy, get on with this hell, you get upset with me bringing the news. But I thought I would let you hear it so you can hear what I hear when I get it. Let's go. Here's the first one. Antastic man, Oh, we need to we need to get an age woman on Hunt because I don't knows tell you, but last year all of your dolts are stealing all these shrugs like you were a fighting name before us and are pushing kids out to wife. I don't even know what to try. Like, we're gonna do something about this. Put an age women on this, please. They want an age limit path on the Eastern egg Hunt that's coming up. And then the kids that come was trying to follow him. And I think what we're gonna have to do is we're gonna have to or bring back to better anting ministry. That's what I'm not gonna be doing is addressing or heat your old with some complaints about the damn Easter egg. We don't have to ball none of the egg. I like my egg sonny side up, if you want a little truth about it. And every time we ball it, you said, even put a color on it. I think it's gonna waste the egg. And then a waste the egg, gonna waste the paint. You know, you gotta look at a different way. It ain't paint is die? Well are we wasting die or are we wasting a egg? You have to look at it that away. What we're wasting right now, Deacon is time. Well, then let's get to it. You want to know what's going on and what people upset about. Here's the next one path to that. I when I check my voice, man, this is what I get. Hey, hey, Deacon death Camp. Hey this Malcolm. Uh. They say as to Davis, I know y'all mess around and everything, and I ain't telling you what you're doing. But I'm hearing your pregnant. That's all I know. I see around around brother you Geen's apartment all the time, but I ain't trying to start no mess. But they say, I know y'all cools, but they say she's pregnant. I'm just saying you know you didn't held Well, brother Eugene ain't impregnated no woman. I know we all know that when we do not that we do know that. But I'm just so now, why you would even record that. They're saying that you have something to do with her. That's o't understand. I don't give a damn what he said. The confusion is you said he she's pregnant by brother Eugene. Now we were put Eugene out the church, so he's no longer member here, So why you didn't drug him back? I can't. I don't do complaints again former members. I only do current members. I understand, I understand. Why won't you move on? And then I move on? Now here's the next complaint that I heard on my voice. Man, I want you to take a lesson. Good afternoon. This is Blake White. I've been attending the church congregation for many years now, and I'm wondering, where are we going to get some more white people in there? Well, asked brother Blake White, when is he gonna bring some more white We bought him in as a recruiting tool. Obviously he has failed in that department. Now, don't come at me. Come at that we're gonna get some white members. I'm happy with the membership we got, but I bought him in thinking he was gonna bring in some more white folks.

Coming up at the top of the hour, Entertainment news and our national news update with miss Anne Trip right after this, you're listening Dave Harvey Morning Show. Professional boxer and former undisputed middleweight champ Marvelous Marvin Hagler has died at the age of sixty six. His wife made the announcement on Facebook. She said, I am sorry to make a very sad announcement today. Unfortunately, my beloved husband, Marvelous Marvin passed away unexpectedly at his home here in New Hampshire. Our family requests that you respect our privacy during this difficult time. With Love Haggler. Of course, became the undisputed away champ in nineteen eighty. During his professional boxing career, he had sixty two wins, three losses, two draws, and fifty two wins by a knockout. He was inducted international. Yes, he was inducted into the Boxing Hall of Fame back in nineteen ninety three. After he retired from the ring, he moved to Italy to become an actor. Hely after the Sugar Ray fight. After Sugar Ray, that's right, because he couldn't believe he lost. That was the last time, and that was a highly controversial win. For there was arguments in the barber shops. I'm telling you I was years. I was there. I mean, man, they showed that flight on why Will the Sports, and I'm telling you, man, we was at it. We walked about that fight for about good eight months in the barber shop and it was fifty fifty. Had you met him? Steve met him once. I just met him once. I just met him once. But it was been passing. It wasn't nothing memorable. I don't have no stories about it. But if you fight sixty two times and you lose three times, he's a badass dude and fifty two of the sixty two. Fifty two of the sixty two was a knockout. He was whipping his people's ass. Man, if he would have stuck around and not not Italy and went to all of the boxing traditional stuff, he would be it would be more done about this right now. But he absolutely went off the grid when he lost that fight to Sugar Ray Lennard. And you know, and you know they're not saying what he died from, but his legal name, his legal name was marvelous. His legal name was marvelous Marvin Hagger. And let me tell you something, man, when he got in the rain, your ass had to have it together because he was coming to wallow. What was the biggest fog that that that first round right there, that round number one. Never seen a fight start that way in modern day times. What happened? They was banging. They came out for War nine. It was war. They was banging. That's why I'm telling you right now. The only person today that would have fought in that era and been effective was Mayweather. You know, Pernelle Whittakernel, all the boys was deadly, but the only one today that was fighting around and now that would have survived back there to me was Mayweather. Because couldn't none of them boards have hooked Alexis way old or and the Hawk prior or beneath tars. They'd all got their ass hohooked, every lad one of them. Couldn't have whipped nobody, Yson, Fury, Dante Wilder, Joshua, couldn't none of them half whooped farming homes, Ali Frasier, Norton, spins Dukes, tell us, I can go down to this. They couldn't have whipped none of them boys back then, Quick Tillers. They couldn't have fought. They couldn't whipped none of them boys back then. All right, ladies and gentlemen, Miss Anne Trill, thank you very very much.

It's to be chatted as the largest pre trial settlement in the civil rights wrongful death in civil rights history, and attorney Benjamin Crump says, the pout and this sends a message that black lives do matter and that the word of a award, by the way comes As jury selection continues in Chauvin's trial, by the end of the day on Friday, six jurors had been selected, three white men, one black man, one Hispanic man, and a woman who describes herself as multi racial.

Some of them young cast was pimping out there. Boy. All right, guys, we're moving on. Coming up at thirty four minutes after the hour, gospel music legend and our friend Kirk Franklin. It's ending after his oldest son leaked audio of Kirk kursing him out. We'll talk about it right after this. You're listening to the Stave Show. Well, I'm sure you, guys, have heard this story or heard about this story by now. Kirk Franklin's oldest son, carry On Franklin, is thirty three. He released to audio and audio of a phone conversation with Kirk that went left I mean crazy, real fast, real quick, and Kirk can be heard yelling and cursing at his son. Kirk use words, be he used ass and a few f bombs were thrown in there before his son hung up. Now the video has gone viral on social media, Kirk issued an explanation. He issued an apology. Kirk admitted to having a toxic, very tense relationship with his son and stated they've been to counseling for years and this private family matter was supposed to be between them. He added in the recording, the part where he called a family they therapists to intervene was omitted from the audio. Kirk asked for compassion and prayers from his fans, parenting it's hard, but I mean, Steve, I'm gonna put it like this, didn't you say you were a guest on Kirk's show last week? I was a guest on his podcast last week and one of the questions asked me Kirk asked me and joking was uncle, I know you cuss. Do you have a go to cuss word? And I said, yeah, I do. He said, well what is it? I said it start with the M. And then he said, well on this podcast you can say it. So I okay, cool. So I said it and he said, why is that your go to word? I said, because it it's a warning, it's a term of endearment, it's it's an enlightening term. It's it can use and when I'm being jovial, it could be used referring to an enemy or a friend. It's just one of the most versatile words that I found. And you know, we joked about it, and so this thing came out. Now here's what I don't like. I do not like the quote unquote Christian community attacking Kirk for his language. First of all, it's human. He's a man. Tommy has a son. I have sons. Tommy got sons, I got sons, Jake got sons. None of all of us have had this conversation with our boys, every last one of us. But I don't like the Christian community jumping on Kirk. You should have never used that type of language to your son. He don't deserve that. Woa woa, oh he had y'all have no ideal when you try to provide a life for a child and they have this sense of entitlement and nothing you do is enough. You can ain't fix it. You should have did this, But they're old enough to make choices, and when they make a bad choice and get in a bad position, NIC's your fault. I'm gonna say that, I'm gonna let the other brothers talk. Then I got something else to say. Let me, let me, let me, let me jump in, let me say this. What bothers me more than anything, Steve, is that there there's words between a man and his son. What bothers me is for a son who record this and put this out there on his father to try and destroy his father. That's what bothers me more than anything. I already know words go back and forth between a man and his son. It happens all the time, it happens every day. But for you to say, I'm gonna put this out across the airwaves on every social media outlet industry and let everybody know this how this is how my dad had talked. That's the part I thought was so cruel is what do you do because what you have, what you're not realizing, young man, in your twenty something years old, is that your thirty three, you're destroying something that takes care of you. Yeah, your punk ass, Come on, man, now here a punk asser. He ain't even my son. Go ahead, John, He is definitely a punk ass. And I applaud Kurt for what he did. But in my opinion, this is just my opinion. He left a lot of words out. There's a lot of cuss words, man, that and he's really a new cursor. He's been a Christian loan than he's been a cusser. And there's there's several words that he could have used that would have got the message across. And I understand where he's coming from. You don't owe nobody, and I mean nobody an apology, not even your son at all. Right, right, I say this, you guys have sons? Sure, sure, sure, hold on, Hold on, hold, Okay, let's bring this back. We'll talk about more this when we come back. Right now. Get this, Okay, you're listening. She's Steve Harvey Morning Show. All right. Before we went to break, we were talking about what happened between Kirk Franklin and his son, and of course Steve and Tommy and Jay talked about their sons. We were Kirk, let's get that understood. We were Kurt, you're gonna hear the Strawberry letter, You're gonna hear the prank phone call. But we wanted to just finish, you know, just wrap this this um conversation. I think Jay was trying to finish up. Go ahead, Jay, No. I was just saying that Kurt left out a lot of words. And I don't think that he owes his son an apology for nothing. I don't think he owes the public and apolo the public. What happened was a lot of them fake Christians started attacking him like they don't cuss. Well, if you don't cuss, you do something. You're sleeping with one of the other church members that you ain't supposed to be sleeping with, your line, your back bite, and you're stealing your past and judgment. We are all sinners. We are all sinners now. A lot of so skip that. And I told her I talked to Kirk Franklin. I called my friend and I told her, I said, hey, me said, it's a rough day from me, I said me, get your head up. You did what you were supposed to do. All of us didn't cussed our sons out because they get to that age where they start smelling, smelling, they piss like they somebody, And you're not fitting to be king over me, partner, And now you're gonna try to destroy the one person that can do something for your monkey ass. But you took your thirty three year old ass out here, made a bunch of decisions counter to the way you was raised. And now it's Kirk's fault. No, it ain't kirk fault. You're thirty three. What y'all don't know is it punk ass call asking for money and stuff? And what Kirk said, Now now all of a sudden, you ain't this to me? Hold up, man, You can miss me with all that right there, Kirk, Shoot up man, and at this man. At the end of the day, when you're thinking, why would you cuss out the one person that's really there for you when you really need when you really need help. Right, You'll see what you want about your daddy, But when you when you really up against the wall, who comes through for you all the time, all the time, all the time, I don't see anything wrong. I didn't see anything wrong with what Kirk said. We also, he hasn't been saved all his life. If nobody's perfect in this situation, Saranting is hard. Saranting is hard. It is just hard. You want your kids, You do whatever you can for your kids. You love them, you give them the best, you try, you know, to try to give them better than what your parents gave you. All that, and it still boils down to the same thing. I think you guys have already said me. You can never do enough. You can never let me say this. Though you're saying it's saved, the same people comes too, Yes, the same people are. So we are Kirk's Kurt is still saved. But dog, you didn't you didn't You didn't hit me too hard? I got to come at you. It happened. Yeah, look I'm looking at bout I'm right now. And that should not be a discussion between father and son and what's in the family inside your house. My parents always told me that my mom was is in this house, stays in this stay And why was that on social media? We don't even we didn't even have social media back then. But you don't go telling your friends or even other family members what happens in our house. You didn't tell my grandmama, my mama. Whoop your ass? You got another ass. And we can talk about this all morning, guy, but we gotta get to this prank. What you guy for us? Now? I got I got neighborhood watch.

We've been getting some really good one lady lately, and this one probably will be just as good. We'll be reading this letter live on the air right here, right now, All right, let's get to it. Buckle up and hold on tight. We got it for you. Here. It is Strawberry Letter. Thank you enough you subject. He came home the next day with a clean shirt on. Dear Stephen Shirley, I'm a twenty nine year old woman and I've been engaged for two years. I've never questioned my man's loyalty to me, and in the five years total that we've been together, I don't think he's ever cheated on me. We lived together, and I have all of his passwords to his phone, social media accounts, and his checking account. He has all of mine too. Things changed after the COVID lockdown, loosened up and now he's trying to hang out more than usual. Recently, he went out with his friends and he called me to say and said that he got too intoxicated to drive home. He said he was going to spend the night at his coworker's house. I was glad he was safe and I didn't suspect anything. The next morning, I called to check on him, and his phone went straight to voicemail. When he finally got home around noon, I was hot. He came in and tried to kiss me, and all I could smell was laundry detergent and fab softener. Wherever he had been. He washed his shirt before he came home. The first thing I asked was if he got sick and threw up on himself. He was all defensive and said no. And why did I ask him that. I told him I could tell his shirt had been washed and ironed. He looked like a fool and tried to say I was crazy. He got on the couch and immediately fell asleep. I looked through his cell phone and he had deleted all of his text messages and he deleted his call log. It's been three days and I'm not speaking to him. I want to squash this situation. But there's no need to nag him over and over for answers. I know he's up to something. How do I handle this maturely without trying to break his neck? Please advise well for starters, the silent treatment is good. The silent treatment is good. I mean, men hate it, That's why I love it. I am a fan of silence, I am. But this guy is all the way wrong. He's lying, and everything you said makes your case about the call log and the shirt smelling all fresh and clean like he had just washed and ironed it. In a court of law, this case would be dismissed because of lack of evidence. But you know, as a woman, with your intuition and how you investigate and smell and snoop around and all that, you know you're right. I don't think he'll ever admit to cheating or whatever he was doing in this lifetime. Please do not let him flip it and try to make it seem like this is your fault, like you don't have the right to question him. I mean, you guys have been living together for five years. You know you have a right to do whatever you live with this man. It's not nagging, and you're not crazy and you're not always complaining. You just want the truth. But you're not gonna get it. He's gonna take it to the grave with his lies and defensiveness. That's what he's been doing. That's all you're gonna get. So, you know, if you're really fed up up and sick of it at this point and you really want the truth, I mean, you got to be prepared to walk away if you're that thick of it, because you're not gonna get that. All right, You're not gonna get that. Steve im I don't understand the purpose for the letter. I really don't. I mean, surely from your standpoint, I can understand everything you said, But from my standpoint, I don't even know. It's some stupidity in this letter that this guy didn't capitalize on. I just don't understand at all. Here's a woman who has never questioned her man's loyalty in five years they've been together, and she says at the top, I don't think he's ever cheated on me. We live together. I got all his passwords to his phone, social media accounts. I got his checking account. He's got mine too, And but things changed after COVID lockdown, loosing up, and now he's trying to hang out more than usual. All that is is over celebrate. You know, we've been locked up so long. We just over celebrate. Just you know, it's just you know, you know, as a little kid finally get to go outside, he gonna stay out past the street lights. Now you know, it's just one of them things, right here we go. So he went out with his friends. He called me and said he got too intoxicated to drive home. He's gonna spend the night at the co worker's house. I was glad he was safe and I didn't suspect anything. Okay, so far, we're working it. The next morning I called back to check on him. His phone went straight to voicemail. This is where he's stupid. See here, in his twenties, he's stupid. It went straight to voicemail. When he finally got home around noon, Why is your ass out to noon? Boy? You had to overnight stay you was in. She was glad, happy for you that you were safe. You'dn't stretched it out to noon. Take your ass home early in the morning. You too much, You'd have took it too damn fall noon should have been home at seven? What is you laying up that fall? Anyway? As we lay he forgot aboube the prize we had to pay? Take your ass home. You should have never been in there past seven am and answer your damn phone. But I'm gonna tell you what happened. And I got the rest everyone we come back. This didn't even have to happen. This is a damn shame U. It's okay that he stayed out. Okay, Oh, I'm even more mad at him. What are you for waiting? I'll tell you this him? All right? All right, we'll let for two of Steve's response coming up at twenty three minutes after be our subject of today's strawberry letter. He came home the next day with a clean shirt on. We'll get back into it right after this. You're listening Steve Harvey Morning Show. All right, come on, Steve, let's recap today's strawberry letter. He came home the next day with a clean shirt on what this food? Been engaged to this woman? She twenty nine, dating five years. She never thought he would cheat on it, never had any idea. They got passwords and phone, social media account, all the check in count information. After COVID was over, he loosened up. He started hanging out a little bit more over, celebrating anyone I wanted, his friends, and he called me. He said he got too intoxicated to drive home. He said he was gonna spend the night at the co worker's house. Now, the girl said, I was glad he was safe, and I didn't suspect anything. Damn dog, you there, you got the free night out. She don't suspect nothing. You intoxicated. You're gonna spend the night. That's all you needed to do. Spend the night. The moment the sun come up, you spent the night. It's over. Take your ass home. But oh no, this young ass food. He don't answer his voicemail. And when he finally got home around noon, I be you doesn't took it too far. Wise, you all up having breakfast and going to brunch with a fall fool spent the night. He came home around noon. I was hot. He came in and tried to kiss me, and all I could smell was laundry detergent and fabric softed that this is a good part of the letter, y'all. The first thing I asked was if he got sick and threw up on himself. He was all defensive and said, know why. I asked him that, are you crazy? She gave you the out. What that's better than the lie you told about being drunk? She said, did you throw up on yourself and have to wash an iron your shirt? Wow? How did you know that? Because the smell that laundry detergent. Damn baby, I didn't want to come home with all that vomit on this shirt. Wow. Man, you so perceptive. Thank you for carring you was out? How boy, she had wrote the life for you. Your dumb mass stared the gift horse in the mouth, and your dumbas's got defensive and said, no, why would I ask him that? I told him I could tear his shirt had been washed in iron. That's because it was boy. You couldn't come home with that shirt smelling like that. You don't know none of the tricks. I've thrown a shirt away back. I'm talking about just it. I came home with no shirt. What we're nothing to do is try to explain this shirt. Now. I was pulled back then, so you know I had a twenty five dollars pr cardeen shirt and I came in the house, old my girl, and she said, where's your shirt? I said, I got in a fight and it got toe off. She said, you just like your daddy. I said, you damn right, because she's sitting around with my mother, and my mother used to tell her that my father used to go down on Saturday night, get in fight, tear his shirt, come home and change shirts, and go back and fight again. My dad used to fight for money. So I just that was always in my heart. So I came home with no shirt. He looked like a fool and tried to say I was crazy. He got on the couch and immediately fell asleep. Oh, he wasn't asleep at noon. If he fell asleep at noon, that's even more evidence than he'd been up all night just performing. Yes, I came home doing yard working everything. Stupid ass boy. I looked through his cell phone and he had deleted all his text message and he deleted his call log. Okay, excellent. So now we don't have a shirt with evidence, we don't have a call log with evidence. All the evidence is gone. We have a woman who says you've never cheated on her in five years. So where we at boy, all you had to do was take the I threw up you right, I washed it and eyed it you right now, she ain't speaking to him. I want to squash this situation, but there's no need to nag him over and over for answers. I know he's up to something. Well, you said for five years you never suspected anything. So how do I handle this maturely without trying to break his neck? What are you gonna break his neck? For? All the evidence has been washed away, is somewhere down somebody laundry man. Okay, but you got no evidence. So now all you can do is put this in your memory, break and be watchful because if he's that's stupid. He feel to make stupid mistakes again because he dumb. He just dumb as a damned dope, knocking steed stupid ass. You must have vomited on this shirt and washed it and eyed it. How did you know? Oh my god, oh my god, that was way better than what I was going to say. He's not a player that he thinks he is. My partner. God, Cutton was bleeding on me and then I watched it.

Well, I'm sure you guys have heard this story or heard about this story by now. Kirk Franklin's oldest son, carry On Franklin, is thirty three. He released to audio and audio of a phone conversation with Kirk that went left I mean crazy, real fast, real quick, and Kirk can be heard yelling and cursing at his son. Kirk used the words be, he used ass and a few f bombs were thrown in there before his son hung up. Now the video has gone viral on social media, Kirk issued an explanation. He issued an apology. Kirk admitted to having a toxic, very tense relationship with his son and stated they've been to counseling for years and this private family matter was supposed to be between them. He added in the recording, the part where he called a family therapist to intervene was omitted from the audio. Kirk asked for compassion and prayers from his fans. Parenting is hard, but I mean, Steve, I'm gonna put it like this. Didn't you say you were a guest on Kirk's show last week? I was a guest on his podcast last week and one of the questions asked me, Kirk asked me and joking was uncle, I know you cussed. Do you have a goal to cuss word? And I said yeah, I do. He said, well, what is it? I said, the start with the M and then he said, well, on this podcast you can say it. So I okay, cool, So I said it, and he said, why is that your goal to word? I said, because it's a warning, it's a term of endearment, it's an enlightening term. It's it can use and when I'm being jovial, it could be used referring to an enemy or a friend. It's just one of the most versatile words that I found. And you know, we joked about it, and so this thing came out. Now here's what I don't like. I do not like the quote unquote Christian community attacking Kurt for his language. First of all, he's a man. Tommy has a son. I have sons. Tommy got sons, I got sons. Jake got sons. None of all of us have had this conversation with our boys, every last one of us. But I don't like the Christian community jumping on Kirk. You should have never used that type of language to your son. He don't deserve that. Woa woa oh he had. Y'all have no idea deal When you try to provide a life for a child and they have this sense of entitlement and nothing you do is enough. Come on, you can't fix it. You should have did this, and they old enough to make choices. And when they make a bad choice and get in a bad position, nice your fault. What bothers me is for a son who record this and put this out there on his father to try and destroy his father. That's what bothers me more than anything. Coming up, it is our last break of the day. That's it, Okay, and Steve Harvey, you'll have some closing remarks for us coming up forty nine minutes after right after this, you threw me again, Jay, you're listening to show all right, here we are, guys, last break of the day. The week started off right on the right foot and everything. Yes, it's mounted, it's monte, and let's make this up. Let's let's say this one more time. We're riding with kurk Franklin. We ride Kurt Franklin. That's what my closing remarks is about today, because you know, first of all, I talked to Kurt and I called him because of the times that I've been up against it or getting torn apart by the media or whatever, Kirk Franklin has always been there for me. So I called him and I told Kirk Kirk, say uncle, I'm having a tough day to day and I just called him to lift him up, to tell him, no, man, get your head about the dirt, because you didn't do nothing wrong. It's just amazing to me. The pain that Kirk Franklin was in was for twofold first of all, the betrayal of his son. That had to be devastated that you would think so little of me, that you would take me in one of my raw's moments and try to destroy me by posting something that was purely between me and you and his son. Knew exactly what he was doing, That's why he posted it, but his son only posted the part that he thought could hurt Kurt. He didn't post a part of what he was asking of Kurt. He didn't post a part of what led up to Kurt's anger. He ain't posted none of the years like Kirk was telling y'all about the therapy. But I'm telling you for a fact, he didn't post and tell you about none of the years that he's tried to make Kirk feel guilty in that and drag him through the mud and expect more. Because Kurt's new family was getting this and he didn't feel like he getting that when Kirk's new family was the fruits of his labor over the years. Kirk didn't have it to give before. But this young man, this boy is thirty three years old. How you thirty three years old posting something your father said that don't make no sense? That shows you the lack of manhood that this young man has. So now, the other reason, the second part of it that was hurting Kirk so bad, was the church here. Y'all come here, y'all come with y'all's righteousself. Y'all so righteous man, you can't do nothing when you're a Christian. And like every word out of Kirk's mouth got to have crosses on it because here a gospel singer. Kirk was a man before he was a gospel singer. Kirk was a sinner before he got saved. Kirk is a sinner to day. But then I got news church. So are you? Oh see, y'all just got Kirk's cussing on tape. You're trying to tell me Kirk the only saved person that cuss. Wait a minute, nephew, Tommy has done a series of pranks with church folks. How many times on the prank have we heard some church folks cussing? Oh Lord, please don't put this on the radio. How many times have you heard past us that getting mad and use profanity? But now Kirk use it now all of a sudden, y'all already ride him to hell. Well, I don't think y'all should do it that way, because y'all ain't better than Kurt. I ain't better than Kirk, and nobody's better than Kurt. The next thing that y'all need to understand, every man would have your own son. Practically all of us had had this conversation with our sons. Oh we didn't had to have some come to Jesus meetings with these boys, because they reached a certain age where they started smelling themselves and then all of a sudden they bucking the system. Well, when you buck up against me, you running up into manhood over hill. And now since you want to act like you a thug and a gangster, the here with the old wall, let me show you who the rich who the real old g is hell and he got a taste of it. Tommy has a son. Jay has a son. Tommy got sons, Jay got son, I got sons. They had all bid it. They then all felt the raff and they had it coming, just like Kirk's boy had it coming. So for those of you that don't have sons, that don't know how I work, this hight really go. Kirk been trying to raise that boy for a long time. But nah man, he's so mad at Kirk because he blamed and Kirk. So let me tell you what happens, y'all for those of you that don't have children, when you have children and they get to a certain age, they have the power to make decisions. And once your child can make their own decisions, then they're gonna end up in some situations based on those decisions that could have been avoided had they not made those decisions. But it's a funny thing when your child, because of a sense of entitlement, thinks that the situation they in becomes your fault. When old, no, young man, young lady, you made that decision, not based on nothing I taught you, even though I forewarned you. You made this decision anyway. So when you make them bed, you got to lay in it. But don't make the bed. And then because you don't like the way the bed lay, you're mad at me because you're in the bed that's uncomfortable. But it's because of a decision you made. Kirk's Franklin so under made some decision. My son's made some decisions, Tommy's son, Jay's son, Shirley's daughter, Carlin, got a daughter that's gonna come of age that's gonna make a decision. And all y'all passing judgment on Kirk's parenting skills. You don't have no kids that to reach the age where they can make a decision. Oh but that day coming and you're not gonna believe the decisions that they're gonna make. So y'all get off Kirk Franklin's back. You're making a mistake. You come over here, you're gonna get cuss smooth out. And I do a way better job than Kirk, way better. I got some combinations for your ass.
