Today's show is pre recorded. Y'all know what time y'all don't know, y'all a sun giving them like the milling bus things and they'll be good. Steve Hasten together forty don't join me. You gotta turn you, you gotta turn to turn them out. Turn, got to turn them out, to turn the water the water. Come come on your back. Uh huh. I shall well a good more than everybody you are listening to the voice. Come on, dig me now, one and only Steve Harvey got a radio show. Yeah man, got one. Hey. You know, um, I thought I think of my life in terms of blessings. You know, I take mostly a positive approach and a positive spin to my life. I hardly ever dweil on you know the what's well. I can't say that I don't think about the what's wrong in it because I have to, because I have to address problems as they arise. But I try not to let them consume me. I let the consumption part be about the blessings, the positive things that has occurred in my life, the good things that God has done for me, the power that He's displayed in my life, the protection He's given me over the years to being tucked under his wings. I focus on the things that he promises me. I think of all all the goodness that I perceived to come my way. I think that has a lot to do with me learning more and more about the law of attraction in terms of you know, what you think and what you put out into space, and what you pray about is what you receive. You know, and so I've become better and better at that. It's not to say that I'm I'm not human and I don't have moments where I think a little bit too long about what's going wrong and what enemy is about to attack and what they're going to do and saying and all of this is his. That's not to con say that I'm not concerned about it. But I try to duel mostly on the positive. And one of the things that I learned, you can have an incredible life, all of us. We can have incredible lives if we just let God drive. See. The problem that I had years ago was I was the driver of my life, and I was taking myself into directions that I thought would be best for me, and I aimed at things that I thought I could accomplish, and I set goals that I saw myself being able to attain. I was driving. When I gave up and I let God drive. I then opened up my mind and my spirit to what God had for me, For what God could see for me, for what God could do in my life, well, for what God wanted for me. Now he wanted for me and he wanted of me. See, that's the connection that you got to try to make. Well, not try, that's the connection that you got to make to really get it. Now, listen to me. What I don't want you to do is do like me. Don't be afraid of the what for of the what he wants you to do part see, because that ain't gonna be nearly as demanding and and as offsetting as you think it's gonna be. See. I thought that if I did God's will, that if I let God tell me what to do, that it would cause me to not to be able to do a certain some things I wanted to do well, which is true. But the stuff I wanted to do was all detrimental to my well being and my future and my growth and development as a man. I was stopping my own growth as a man because See, I was doing what I thought I should do as a man. But when you give it over to God, to God has a much better plan for you than you can ever have for yourself. And God knows a better way, far better than the one you know. I want you to believe that. Man, you gotta understand that part of it. And that's the part that I finally got through my head to let God do it his way and to show me a better way, and to teach me a better way and expose to me a better way. And when I opened up my mind to what God was talking about, I began to see things totally differently. Things started coming to me totally differently. If you've been a friend of mine or a fan of mine over the years, I mean, you've had to see it, the change. You've had to see the difference. I mean, and I acknowledge that every chance I get, because I promise God I would, and I hope that I'm not falling short in that category. But then again, if I told it all day long, would he done for me? I still wouldn't have enough time to really explain thoroughly what He's done for me, because it's such a continuous growth in me. But now that's not to say that I'm finished or I'm done or I'm complete, because I'm still shocked. You can't be him. You can strive for perfection. I hear people saying it all the time. I applaud you for saying you want to be perfect, but you ain't and you can't. So you quit saying it. You quit saying it to me, quit saying it to other people. I'm seeking a life of perfection, but it's something that you cannot have because he said you can't do it. But that's what he'd have for. He'd ask for the moments when you stumble and you fall, and you go stumble and fall. See, you got to get that part right. Man to stumbling falling part is coming. But see you get God in your life and it helps you so that you don't stumble, fall, wallow, roll over laid their languish. That's what God is for. So when you stumbling, fall, you get back up because you're going to make mistakes, You're going to get it wrong, You're going to come under attack, You're going to be lied about, you are going to be falsely accused. That's going to happen to you. The moment you make a decision to do better the moment you try to be more. The devil got to send his attackers, man, and he controls certain people. He just got people as on his side twenty four seven. You know him too. You've all met one or two of them in your life. They're just busy with the business of nothingness. They it's busy about to do about the destruction of others. You said, I know him, you know him. They coming. But here's what you got to hold fast too. They can't take away nothing from you that God gave you. They didn't make you. See, people who claim to have made you, if they're so in to make you business, why don't they make theirselves? Or if they ain't with you no more? And they're so busy in them I made you business, why don't they make somebody else? Since since you want to get credit from making somebody make yourself, if you're responsible for someone else's success, then you should easily be able to take claim and be responsible for your own success. See, be careful of that, and don't and don't don't change your course because somebody is attacking you with that. I just hope, man, that I'm giving it to God. The way I said I would give it to him, that I would unload every chance I got that I was supposed to without being you know, or here he come again. You know. I try not to be that, but man, I don't know what else to be for the first twelve minutes of my show? What else you want me to say? I got four hours. I can't give God twelve twelve minutes, man, I mean, for real, Steve, come on, man, I mean, let's look at this right here. If you're given honor to God just twelve minutes out the day, dog, he gave you twenty four hours of luxury in life and breath and hope and promise, you ain't got twelve minutes to give him out the day. That don't make no sense. What an exchange, What a wonderful life God has given me in exchange for so small of effort that I put forth. Don't let the effort you got to put forth to God seems so dawning that you don't attempt to do it, because man, it seems like a lot. It ain't nothing to compare to what he'd be given us for real. So if you want a real life, you want a real shot at what you can be, what you can have, what you can own, what you can become, who you really are. Go to God, let him fix you. Man. That's all you're listening. Morning show ladies and gentlemen. This is the Steve Harvey Morning Show. We are here today to enlighten, to empower, to motivate and entertained on a daily basis.

You're listening morning show time Now for Steve's favorite segment, asked the CLO Chief Love Officer, And if you want advice from the cello, please submit your questions to Steve Harvey FM dot com. Okay, now, Steve. This one is from Camille in Laurel, Mississippi. She says, I'm a thirty nine year old female and I've had the same best friend for twenty years. Recently, I made a terrible mistake in judgment and had sex with one of our male friends. I shared all the details with my best friend. The guy has a girlfriend and we're all friends, so I felt really bad about it. Two days ago, he called me and was angry because his girlfriend found out. I asked my best friend if she told her, and she said that the girlfriend had a right to know. I'm not speaking to my best friend now because her loyalty was with the wrong person. Am I wrong for ending the friendship? Well, no, you're not, thank you, but your loyalty was misplaced. Also, see if you all were all in a group, and you all were friends, and then you slept with one of the girls in your group, man, and then you told your best friend. And then she turned around and said, I think the girl had right to know. That's y'all's little girl cold y'all be doing all the time. But so you should have thought about that if the girl was in your group and then your girl told. But ain't tell what y'all do, y'all always say, I would want to know, well that it is so you kind of died by your own little theory. I think, ladies in the opinions, well, I don't think that the best friend should have told. I don't think that, and I agree with you, Steve. I agree with you. I think with the best friend, if the best friend code, I would want to know if my best friend knew. So it's levels to the code. Is you kind of giving it all together? I don't know how close y'all don't. I don't know the code exactly. I have to loop it all in. I don't know why she had to run a damn mouth r Two of them were best friends and then the other ones were friends. But she specifically said that one girl who told was her best friend. Yeah, well she told her best friend and is what over there? And told the other girl. Because you don't know the relationship she had with the other the other girl, the other girl might think she helped bed friend too. I just felt she shouldn't know. Yeah, okay. This one's from Shawanna and Louisville, Kentucky. She says, I am five months pregnant by a lying man. We dated for a year and everything was great until he told me that he was married when I told him when I told him I was pregnant, he told me he's been married for six years. He also said he's got another baby on the way by a girl named Tanisha. He said that he felt better after he came clean about everything, and now we can move on from here. What. I'm not trying to raise my child in this ghetto mess, but I need help and support. What should I do now? I mean, what else can you do? You know he you need help with support. He's gonna have to pay child support, But I don't think you. I don't know if you're gonna have an ongoing relationship with him unless you just get okay with being the other woman. Because he'd been married for six years and you just found out. But he not only been married, he got another girl pregnant. Yeah, that's why are you pregnant? And now y'all don't even know the wife and the wife don't nobody either one of y'all. He didn't know he was married after five months? Wow? And no protection? Who? Yeah, you can hide it for five months, you can a wife, but sure the girl you're cheating with two Okay, Yeah, y'all have been tricked by that. I don't want to run him off of equation that a lot of women use. And so you end up going along with a lot of stuff trying to see where a gold and you like calling say, you end upsetting. But why aren't you using protection? Steve? Still, I don't know why? Five months? Okay, we're moving on. Why are people wearing mask? Yeah? They don't think they can get it? So yeah, yeah, that is a general consensus. Um, please get your child support though, lady Henry, mask and a condom. I'm sorry, that's good advice. Together, yeah, yeah, together during the during the dew. Yeah, condom. You're gonna have a hard time pining his baby on me. All right, Steve, here's one from Henry.

And in other news, the screenshot of an actual Craigslist ad saying this is so crazy, Steve seeking excited and enthusiastic minority. That's in all caps, actors and actresses to hold signs. That's some quotations at an event in Tulsa, Oklahoma, began to make the rounds of social media. It began to make the rounds in social media. Twitter users attempted to make the connection that the ad was hiring minorities to work as President Trump's work at his rally with mister background yeah, which was reschedule for June twenty. But the hat on. Remember we would always say he was paid to be there. That one guy, well, you know something. And then when they found out they did some research, found out who he was. You ain't seen him since you have not seen that, guys, because he had a background buddy from me him, just say self from him right away. Yeah, but listen to me. You know, look, they strategically placed those people in the camera shots behind Trump every time they always manage to put three blacks behind him at every and and Steve, they are excited and enthusiastic, which is what the so called ad called for, and now they're trying to get them yeah right now, because the election is this year. The ad has since been taken down off Craigslist before media outlets could verify if the ad actually was connected to the Trump rally. They want you to sing a hymn too, Charlotte, Oh my, cost I'm building you a hole, you mean a spiritual all right, it is time to get caught up, Steve on today's headline, Oh oh, I thought you said ten. Sorry, okay, go ahead, sing your song, Tommy, Oh don't think Matt. Ladies and gentlemen, this and trip, thank you very much, and good morning everybody. This is an trip with the news. Yeah. I always gift the unhappy stuff. But nevertheless. In Atlanta, authorities have finally released a dash cam video showing the last moments of the life of twenty seven year old Ray Shard Brooks, shot and killed by a white cop who was trying to arrest him after finding him asleep in his car in a Wendy's parking lot. That's all he had done. As you'll hear, things started out quietly until he officer tried to arrest Brooks, and Brooks ran and took the officers taser. He had about one and a half drinks. You don't remember what kind of drinks? All right, I read it over all right, I think you've had too much to drink to be driving. Jan's wind your back for mestre gonna get tired. But the head of the Atlanta UACP points out that not only does the police department call a taser a non lethal weapon, so that mister Brooks didn't really pose a threat, but that Brooks was only being arrested really because he was black. The man should have never been placed under rest. He was not driving, he was not in a public street. He did resist the rest. If it had been a white person in the same position, they would have just said, hey, you know, get left and go home or get somebody to drive you and dismissed it. And to get a DUI, you really have to be caught in the act of driving. Remember that Dylan Ruth, the person who who killed the nine people in the church in Charleston when they when the police found him, he said it was hunger. They took him the burger king to get a burger, So it's just a differential how black defenders are treated by white officers. And officer Garrett Rolf who killed Brooks, has now been fired, his partner has been placed on administrative leave, the police commissioners resigned, and angry crowds burned that Wendy's to the ground. Police reformed by the way the scheduled topic on Capitol Hill Tomorrow. Senate Republicans are reportedly set to announce legislation focusing on reforming police training and tactics and changing the way police handle misconduct. And South Carolina's Tim Scott, the only black Senate Republican, says he wants to see law enforcement agencies keep track of and report it when uses a force turned deadly or cause a serious injury. Meanwhile, the movement to take down certain statues continues, with now a campaign to either change or remove a statue of Lincoln in Boston, which depicts the assassinated president with a slave at his knee. Critics say looks like it signifies that black should know their place. Boston Mayor Marty Walls says that while he supports removing the statue. He would also like to recommission the sculpture, he says, into one they recognize his equality. Finally, Yeah, that's Beyonce. She's saying, say the name, but not her name. Actually, she's really talking about Brianna Taylor's name. She had really want to see that name saved and that name said again because she said nobody cares about her. And she's really written the head of the excuse me, the governor's office in Kentucky and the attorney general calling for criminal charges should be brought in that case. Now back to the Steve Harvey Morning too. You're listening to show well. Yesterday in Atlanta, protesters now maryor Keisha Bottom says, call them demonstrators now, not protesters. That's what someone told her. Protesters, including the Atlanta Hawks head coach Lloyd Pierce, joined the NAACP and march to address police brutality, the criminal justice system, and voting rights. As we told you, Atlanta police chief Erica Shields resigned on Saturday following the deadly shooting of Ray Schard Brooks.

Right, You mean to tell me that two officers with sticks mace cuffs couldn't have tackled him. Well, Steve, there was a scuffle and they couldn't. They couldn't. They were not good at this. No, they didn't try. Surely you up on a man that tackled that's that's schoolyard stuff or body contact. Well, I didn't get the legal law enforcement expert on cnn dot com. Even if he did, even if a shard did point the taser gun at them and they lost in the scuffle or whatever, they still could have pursued him on foot. Now, if that didn't happen, He's at the end of the day. You still had his license plate number, he still had his drivers that you know, you didn't have to use. That was nothing that calls for you to shoot this man. Yeah, nothing. He wasn't armed. Yeah, you have sticks, you have mace. You could have maced him. You could have done any number of things. Uncle. They no, they're they're training. They were not good at this. They are afraid of black men.

Scar. I kill him that way, I ain't got to scuffle with all right, mass damn shame man. But hit his mess nomal thirty four minutes after the hour, we'll have more of the Steve Harvey Morning Show right after this. You're listening Steve Harvey Morning Show. According to TMZ, seeing live footage of the George Floyda rest alarmed a nine one one dispatcher enough that she called a police supervisor to respond to the scene. Take a listen. I didn't know. You can call me a snitch or two on to you, but we have the tamers up for three twenty suff Did they put him in the samest body started moving him, um and three twenty over at cup foods Um. I don't know if they had used force or not. They got something out of the back of the squad and all of them sat on this man. So I don't know if they needed you or not. That they haven't said anything to me yet. Yeah, there don't say anything just to take Colin, which because in Colin's good, okay, no problem. We don't get to ever see it. So when we see it, we're just like, well, well, what's a little different alright? Thanks than wow, Okay. On here you can hear the dispatcher openly question if the officers needed to use that kind of force also, um wow wow, if nine yeah called the police. If she called, she used the police. But they were so casual about it in that call too. Well yeah, i mean like the man said, look, it's a takedown. Yeah yeah, but you know, I mean she was going to, look, you can call me a snitch if you want to. But some Maine right here, I'm calling y'all because this is on Cameron. I could see it, and this is not you know, and i mean, look, she didn't know the man was dying. Yeah, and that's not her job. She's nine one one operator, so that's not her job. It's the police's damn job. Yeah. You could hear the dispatcher openly question if the officers needed to use that kind of force, and that was her take on it. Also, in the Rachard Brooks case in Atlanta, the nine one one call that happened there, that was released and the Wendy's employees said ray Schard was intoxicated, but she made it clear that she didn't think he had any weapons. And as we told you yesterday, Rachchard was cordial and co operative. So many people have seen the videotape that's you know, that's gone viral now, he was careful, he was cordial, he was cooperative, he was careful to do whatever they asked him to do with these two officers, This one on for nearly thirty minutes. Steve based on Officer Brosnan's bodycam footage before X Cop Garrett Roth murdered him. So, I mean again, when does it end? When does it stop? You know, it's just like a I mean, look, can I be honest with you, I'm sick and tired of talking about it, or should I say having to talk about it.

We could be reading your letter live on the air, just like we're gonna read this one right here, right now. Buggle up, hold on tight, We got it for you here. It is strawberry subject. He's bawling out of control with my money. Dear Stephen Shirley, I'm in my early fifties and my husband and I have been married for seven years. Since the beginning of our union, he knows that I'm able to manage all of our household expenses, and he has taken advantage of it. I found I've funded a lot of hair brained business schemes he's invested in and lost a lot of money fooling with him. He's had a string of jobs and leadership positions that I've helped him get, but the longest he stayed at one company is two years. His excuses always they got me fed up and they can't talk to me any count of way. I've encouraged him to get training and insurance, sales or real estate, but he says that's not his speed, so instead he has plenty of time to dress up in his linen outfits, drive the car I pay for, and smoke expensive cigars with his friend and making them think he's on their level. I've heard him brag to them about how he has a strong black woman holding him holding him down. When I look at it, we have nothing in common except our faith, and he's a great listener and outstanding lover. He's thoughtful and always goes on all out for my birthday, our anniversary and holidays. But he uses my money to do it. I know men marry women, they don't work, and they don't mind taking care of their wife, but should a woman be put in this position with her husband? I want him to be a better provider. I'm all for supporting a black man and letting him find his way, but this is too much. Do you think it's time to give up on him? Wow? Well, I think you know that's for you to decide. Only you can decide that for yourself. But I can't help you. You know I can't help you in some way with that decision. And my first question is why is it that he's allowed to do whatever the heck he wants to do while you're working every day to bring home the money that he spends. He's strong and healthy, I'm assuming he's not sick. Right. You didn't mention any of that. You didn't mention anything about any physical challenges or mental challenges. You didn't mention having kids that he could be staying home to watch. No, this dude is perfectly fine according to you, and looks like he's living his best life since when of smoking cigars with your friends and linen suits. A job because that's what it sounds like he's doing for work. And of course he goes all out on your birthday and your anniversary. He's got to keep you happy so you'll keep financing his expensive lifestyle. You see, Yes, he is just keeping He wants you to just keep the checks coming. That's what that's all about. I know plenty of people who would quit their jobs if they had a cushion like you, because you know they complain, but they stay in it because you know they have to provide for their family. You know, that's what men are taught to do. You are You are his safety net. If you stop supplying his habits, he will have to stop and get a job. So let me ask you another question. What are you getting out of this? What are you really getting out of this? Besides great sex? You say, and you guys share the same faith. I mean, do you know that there are men who work jobs and have businesses that you know that can put it down in the bedroom as well. Yeah they Yeah, there are men out there just like that. I think you're stressing yourself out over him. I think he's just spending your heart on money without a care in the world. I think he needs to get a job. He needs to keep the job and take some of this unnecessary pressure off you provide for you. That's what a caring and loving husband would do. They wouldn't sit back and wait until your pay day with their handout. So leaving him at this point would probably be a relief for you. You okay, but you make up your own mind. Steve, let's get on into this traveling as dude. Yes, he bawling out of control with my money. Only way a person can do that is you give him access to it. Surely kind of referred to that, but that's what you're doing. This. A lot of this is your fault. You know, since the beginning, he always knew you could manage the household expenses, and he took advantage of it. Now you've funded a lot of hair brained business schemes. He'd have lost a lot of money. And then you say the longest he ever stayed at one company is two years. His excuse is, they got me eft up and they can't talk to me any kind of way. What wait a minute, that's because he knows he got a safety net. That's all that is. He know. He I h that's gonna let him come home and sit down whenever he gets tired of working. Now out and told him that he needs to get into training in the insurance sales or real estate. But he say that ain't his speed. Okay, he's some old ass people here that ain't my speed. Say that with his slow lads, ass that ain't my speed? What work ain't your speed? Well? What is your speed? Dog? So instead of he has plenty of time to dress up in his linen outfits right down. He buying them lining sets. He got him in linen shout sets. He got him in. They call him walkers. We had a dude work with us with specialized in him. He needs to cut the sleeves off when he wore but they were leisure jackets. Look like leisure Larry, but they linen silky. He used to mankle silk and cream. You know you're all away. Michael Irvin had a whole collection of had a collection of its summer set. That's the other reason you know his ass is old. All right, hang that, Hang on there, Steve, hold that thought. We'll have part two of Steve's response coming up at twenty three minutes after the hour. Today's Strawberry Letters subject keeps bawling out of control with my money. We'll get back into it right after this. You're listening show, all right, Steve, come on, let's recap today's Strawberry Letters subject. He's bawling out of control with my money. Lady in her early fifties, hand of husband. Seven years he's been doing all types of foolish stuff with the money. She runs the money, but he just spend it on foolish ideas. And the most long as he ever kept of job was two years. And then he come he stayed in one company two years. And his excuse is always, they got me fled up. I think they can talk to me any kind of way. And the reason he can do that and say that, it's because he got safety that at the home, and the safety that is you, ma'am. So then he says, you know, then you told him he needed to get into ensuring sales of real estate. He told you that ain't his speed. See work ain't his speed. That's too fast. And then just to show you how work ain't his speed, you said he got plenty of time to dress up in his Lenen outfits. Those are leisure outfits. Lenen is leisure outfits. They are set. See leisure, leisure go against speed. So working this that ain't his speed. So instead he got plenty of time, dress up lenning outfits, dry the car I pay for, and smoke expensive cigars with his friend, trying to make them think he on the level because obviously his friends is balling and he ain't. I've heard him braged him about how he got a strong black woman holding him down. Listen, everybody needs a strong black woman. I strongly suggest you find one. But the problem, sir, is they would love to refer to you as that. Also, a woman would love to say I have a strong black man holding me down. I love having a strong black woman holding me down. I got one, but I want her to also know that she has a strong black man holding her down. At now that you didn't got off for that, Yeah, because your ass got on them cheap ass linen suits. That one that extra wrinkle. You know, ain't no silken your linnen. You just got pure one unpply littlem you like Scotch tarlet tissues one ply they make lenin out fix. That's one ply. Lena his suit because I'm not I can see his cheap ass with that little rag lass twenty nine dollars straw hat and at eight dollars cigar boy. I know him now hill wan on socks. He got a pair of drivers on she got he'd have bought one pair of Louis Atarn drivers and he wam with everything that brown pair with them gold al vs only. Yeah, yeah, and uh. Then she said, when I look at it, we have nothing in common except our faith. How that lady? A lot of people leave in God accept our faith. He's a great listener. He got to listen. He fit to ask you for money. He got to sit them here all issue talking about because when you get oh yeah, baby, that's a slick yeah yeah, yeah, oh yeah, baby, don't feeling Hey look here, let me ask you something. You know I was gonna open or linen stoked. You know what if you say everybody like my lenen outfits? Ye and so then and he's an outstanding lover. Okay, so you sprung that's all? Is he outstanding love? He believe in God? You know he listened good and he can he y'all being that spanking each other. Okay, good, now listen to this. He's thoughtful and he always goes all out on my birthday, our anniversary and holidays. Who don't. Who don't that ain't but three times a year? Who can't go all out three times a year? Every man that's got a wife trying to put a smile on her face on them days? Right there? So lady, you ain't that ain't nothing? You keep giving plenty where he don't need none, but he uses my money to do it. Oh well, he's going all out. I know me and married women that don't work, and they don't mind taking care of their wife. But should a woman be put in a position with her husband. Obviously you're feeling some kind of way about this because you don't wrote this letter. I want him to be a better provider. I told you that at the top. That's everyone who wants to be able to lean on their man. I'm off for supporting the black man and letting him find his way. He fifty? What he still lost? Listen to me. If you're fifty and still lost, you can't be my project. If you're a woman in your fifties and you meet a man that's fifty and he's still lost, how you gonna help him find this way? He'd had fifty years to think or something. He came up with a damn thing. But this is too much? Do you think it's time to give up on him? Is he gonna change? And mask? You a question? What's his oldest moment? I'm telling you, I see him and he got that little bitty brim straw hat and stupid oh dog, that's him. We're doing the cheap as Linden soup. When that one pair of drivers and he when he'd be talking to you, he'd be jangling his car key. Yeah, I not know him.

Okay, we had Central Park Karen, you know, the bird watching lady, the bird watching incident, Karen and Phoenix at the gas station telling telling a Native American woman to go back to Mexico. Karen in New York City bagel shop, who recently coughed on another because the lady demanded her to wear a mask during the pandemic, Okay, which was a reasonable request. Then most recently, racist Karen in La in the Valley. She took a hammer to bang up a neighbor's car and knock over her recycling bin and told them to go back to Mexico. But this racist Karen got checked by another neighbor who was sick of her and pushed her in the bushes. You removed that. I saw that. Great, Now, what happened for the for the benefit of those who didn't see it. I saw it, but I'm sure maybe one or two people didn't see it. What happened, Steve? What happened to me? What happened? Go ahead, big dog, know it was just the white lady was banging up a car, telling these people need need to go back to Mexico, hitting it with a hammer. Now, the dude that ended up starting to go fund me page to get his car fixed, ain't nobody going to give you no money for that. But somehow she wounded up into other people's yard after she knocked over the garbage can. And next thing fast forward, this big sister had a handful of her hair, had her bent down. Obviously, the lady had a garden holes was talking about wetting her up. She told her, I ain't the one. I ain't the one. Don't f with me, be bib. You don't know who I am. I ain't the one I would take that garden, the holes and ship. Okay, I'm just telling you what happened. It's gonna take I'd watching sixty seven times.

She took that whole ass one. Now let me tell you what I found out. Okay, Karen is a multicultural name. It's a multiculture, but it's really big in the African American community.

Mask you have to put these masks on. I don't every Cordel, that's his name, Yeah, man, Yeah, yeah, that's very very sad, very story. Well let me ask you all about this. But did y'all hear with Dwight Howard saying what did he say, Junior? Well, Dwight Howard is on this thing to where he doesn't believe that the NBA should come back this season because he didn't want to be a distraction to the movement that's going on with the Black Lives Matter and for equality and justice. I mean, well, how do you feel about I mean, I understand that point. I don't want to take the focus off. I get that part. I understand that part of it. I do. I mean at first I didn't get what he would saying, but you listen to it. I understand what he said. He doesn't he wants something to happen and he don't want sports to be a distraction. Yeah. But I'm just telling you right now, racism is not going to end because of this. We can get some policies in place because it is, but racism gonna handle on it. Police Yeah, yeah, see, I'm not really sure about all this defunding police department that they're pushing for, because I mean, I want police, No, we need police. Got you don't don't get twisted? Not all right. We'll be back with more of the Steve Harvey Morning Show. Thank you, Junior come up at twenty minutes after the hour, right after this. You're listening, all right, It's so sad. It's like where we are in all of what's going on in the world right now, and it's like you can't turn on the TV without seeing this video how they just slaughtered ray Shard Brooks in this Wendy's parking lot. And it's starting to affect me. I can't watch this anymore. This is horrible. His family had a news conference yesterday in Atlanta. Very beautiful, beautiful, Yeah, loving family. They really loved ray Shard, and they talked about what a sweet, kind, loving person he was and what a great family man. And I also saw an interview with his former boss and she said, oftentimes when things like this happened, they tried to vilify, you know, someone like a Ray Shard Brooks the victim. They try to she said, But I want you to know that what a good person he was. He used to work for me, and he used to come to work every day early, leave late, be the last one to leave. She said. He was so kind. Everyone when they heard it was Ray Shard, everyone was like, that's not our Ray Shard, is it? She said he was so kind when he got his checks. He bought his furniture for his apartment and his next door neighbor across the hall was a single mother. He bought furniture for her because she couldn't afford it. She said, that's the kind of person. Ray Schard Brooke was a giving, loving, kind person. Wow, we're praying for the Brooks family. Yes, we are. They're close family.

And in other news, the screenshot of an actual Craigslist ad saying this is so crazy, Steve seeking excited and enthusiastic minority that's in all caps actors and actresses to hold signs. That's in quotations at an event in Tulsa, Oklahoma, began to make the rounds of social media. It began to make the rounds in social media. Twitter users attempted to make the connection that the ad was hiring minorities to work as President Trump's uh work at his rally, Chris the background, Yeah, which was rescheduled for June twenty the hat on. Remember, we would always say he was paid to be there, that one guy, well, you know something. And then when they found out they did some research, found out who he was. You ain't seen him since you have not seen that, guys, because he had a background buddy who from him, distance a self from him right away. Yeah, but listen to me. You know, look, they strategically placed those people in the camera shots behind Trump every time. They always manage to put three blacks behind him at every day. Coming up, our last break of the day. It's the last break of the day, and we'll have some poignant I'm sure closing remarks from the one and only Steve Harvey coming up at forty nine minutes after right after this. You're listening, all right, Steve. Here we are our last break of the day on this Tuesday day. Um, the President is scheduled to signs uh, some legislation on police reform today, believe it or not. So we'll figure out what. Yeah, but it's just about it. It's really not anything heavy. It's just about you know, better background checks, making more yeah, making sure that reports are made known. When he get complaints against him, that ain't reforming nothing. Yeah, that's not police reform. Because Derek Chauvan and Minnesota had seventeen complaints. Again, yeah, he was still working. Police reform happens when there are police consequences. A matter of fact. That's my close remarks. Let's go. You know, everybody's trying to figure out a way to do this. I don't have it figured out by a long shot. I'm sure I don't. And I can appreciate Dwight Howard with Lakers saying that he don't think that we should be playing basketball right now or sports because it'll distract from the message, it will draw attention. At first, I disagreed with him, but I understand where he's coming from, and I think that's a fair assessment. I really really do, because see what he's saying is while we got the momentum going, let's not change the momentum by giving people other things to do. So I can accept that. So I'm definitely not thinking that I have the answers to it all. But I do know one thing, and I wanted to share this with you. You know, I'm a sports fan. I watch football, basketball. I don't like watching baseball all the time to the playoffs, but I do. I watch all of the major sports, even watch soccer. There is a thing that most sports have incorporated, and it's called instant replay. And the reason that the sports had to have instant replay was because sometimes the call on the field would be augured so vehemently that they would go to instant replay. I'll give you an example. You know, like in football, a wide receiver catches what everybody thinks as a touchdown, and then he goes across the goal line and when he lands, the ball comes loose and he loses control of it and the tip of the ball hits the ground, but he still manages to nestle it. Well, that's no longer a touchdown. You go to instant replay to find out. In basketball, if a player steps out of bounce and you go to instant replay. You can instantly see that the player is out of bounce. If you take a three point shot, your foot cannot be touching that line. If your foot is on the line, they call off the three point play. That's in sports. They went to instant replay. The police came out with an instant replay. It's called the body cam. But then we took it one step better and the general public has instant replay. Is called a phone camera with video capability. And now, for the first time, all of these plays that were up for question now have instant replay. And normally when you go to the officials up in the booth doing a play and they show it back to the people sitting at home, and they slow it down where you can watch the action, you clearly can see whether to accept the call on the field or reverse the call. That's what keeps happening in the police department. We have these police who we are telling you is out of bounds. We have the video footage that says they are out of bounds, they cross the line, and now we have the footage that shows it. But unlike sports, unlike sports where it's clearly a violation, you are out of bounds. Clearly in sports, that's what it is. The call is reversed. But what happens to the instant replay of police officers? How is it time and time again that we can show you the police being out of bounds, stepping over the line. And when you see the damn video, your ass don't see out of bounce like we see out of bounds. What the hell video you watching? What play you trying to call? Because see in the game we play and call life is too easy for us to lose ours and you make the call that the police was justified them. Day's done. We're about sick of thist mess now, ain't no more patience from the from the from the host of family feud. Ain't no old, ain't no old, Steve the black man, sick of thist mess man, sick of it. I understand them, young protesters. I understand them. I understand when they get so mad that they want to burn something down, I understand it. I don't condone it. I don't want them to violate the law because once you break a law, that then opens up the floodgates for them to enforce the law. And we got too many examples of how they enforce the law. But I understand the anger, man, I understand it. So what I'm asking y'all to do as I see what's starting to happen when we go to instant replay. Can y'all make the call same as we make the call? Or does it have to happen to you in order for you to see what we see? Do they have to shoot your son down in the street before you see a murder just like we see. I don't want that to happen to you, but it's that's what has to happen to get you to make the same call as us. That's why I like to change that I'm seeing now. And I want to thank the non African Americans who are out there on the front line twenty one day so far of protests. Keep it up because they starting to hear soft it for all.
