Y'all know what time to y'all don't know, y'all have all suit all looking back to back down, giving them more just like themlican buck bus things, and it's tough to me true good at Steve Hardy want to move to other stood quick, Hobby, Why don't you join? Yeah? Yeah, well Hoby joining me? Hung turn Yeah you want to very you gotta turn the turnout turn to you lovey got to turn out to turn wan y'all come come on your thing? Got it? Uh huh, I shall will Good morning everybody. You're listening to the voice, Come on, come on, y'all dig me now. One and only Steve Harvey got a radio show man. Is God good to me? Unbelievable? Yeah, he is? And and I can only attribute it to one thing. It's it's just been a turnaround in my life. It's it's been me finally making a decision to see what all God has from me, but at the same time trying to be more God wants me to be instead of more of what I want to be. That's the trade off. You know, you gotta do something now, you know, you know you want God's blessings. You gotta be willing to do something on his behalf. And now I'm not saying I got it right right now, because man, I just don't. I'm just being real with you. I don't. I don't have it all together by any stretch of imagination. I'm trying to get better in several areas. I'm praying about it, I'm working on it. But you know, it's a process, and I've i've I've I've grown to accept the process. But I'm improving in a lot of areas from day to day. But I'll tell you what, Man, my success, all that is going on with me, I can only attribute to this turnaround. And to turnaround was simple. I turned around and started looking at God. That was a simple move. Man. I just turned around and started looking at him. And I was going, Okay, I get it. Now, you created me. You're the creator. You have a purpose for me. I understand that. Now. Now let me just walk in that purpose and let me get to doing that purpose. Now, my purpose and your purpose and their purpose and anybody's perfect purpose could be different, and the way you go about the purpose can be different. And that's the part that I've really grown up to. I've opened up my mind to understanding that everybody is different, nobody's quite the same, and that is not my right or position to judge, but to be of a forgiving spirit and understand and forgive those as I ask God to forgive me. See that's the key. That's the key, y'all. So when you out here and you stuck on this unforgiveness, understand in in the large prayer as a segment that says, forgive us our trust passes as we forgive those who trust passed against us. There's another verge says forgive us our debts as we forgive our debtors. It's two different versions, but either one it means the exact same thing. It means simply this that you are asking God to forgive yours like you forgive others. Forgive us our trust passes as we forgive those who trust passed against us When I crossed the line with you, God handle me the way I handle people when they crossed the line with me. You feel what I'm saying to you? See, you understand that. That's the breakdown of it. The best way I can give it to you. Forgive us our trust passes as we forgive those who trustpass against us. Forgive me God for stepping over the line like I forgive those that step over the line on me. That's the hard part, man, that's the part man, I've really been working on. I've been really trying to get that together. And so I've learned forgiveness a lot better over the past five years than I have before. And it's paid off. I can't tell you how it was paid off, because now God's mercy and grace is all over me, because I've learned to become more graceful. Now I ain't graceful like him, I ain't merciful like him, but I've learned to become more more graceful, more merciful, because man, I can't live my life like that. I just got sick of me. Man, you're mad at me, now, I'm mad at you. You hate on me, Now I'm gonna hate on you. I ain't got time for that, man, I've got you. Look here, you got somewhere to go. Hate take up time. It's time consuming, and hating trying to seek revenge it's time consuming. It take up way too much of your time to seek revenge when vengeance ain't really yours. That's another one. Vengeance is mine. Say if the lord it ain't yours. So now when you go to seek it to take it out, guess what you're doing. You're doing something now, man. Now you off in the area that you've got no business being in, and instead of steady climbing your ladder like you supposed to, you didn't take out time for vengeance to hate. I'm a hater. I'm gonna be a blogger. I'm a blog about so and so. When you're blogging about somebody, and most of these people you don't even know when you're blogging about somebody what you're doing, what you're hating. It takes time to hate. Man. I just decided, Man, I gotta take all my time and instead of have doing time and being active, I got to be pro active. See some people get that confused being active and being pro active. Pro is positive. Pro means to move forward. You know, if you put pro in front of most words, it's a positive influence. You know, does the pros and the cons? The pros is the good side, the cons is what can go wrong the bad side. You know, if you're active, that's one thing, but if you pro active, you're going forward. In a positive direction. When you become a pro that means you're the best of the best at whatever it is you chosen to be. I'm a pro so somehow, and I know, uh English teacher, grammatical god. The word pro a lot of times when you put it in front of something means positiveness. So a lot of people think that if you just active something all to happen. Well, I'm doing something, and that's what happens. Man, We just find ourselves doing a lot of busy work that really ain't about nothing. It ain't going nowhere. It ain't got no direction or no purpose because we haven't tried to find out the direction of purpose. So you wake up and you and you and your wheels are spinning you a hamster on a tread meal. You're running real fast, but you're just going in the same spot. You understand, that's cause you're just out here being active instead of proactive. Why don't you get God in your life? Why don't you turn and face your creative and find out how to become more proactive so you can do things to move yourself forward. How you can get your life off the ground and get off the tread mill and really get it rolling in the direction that it need to be going. Man, I'm telling you, God can make that change for you if he see you making the change for him. See the whole key, man, the whole key is you got to be willing to do something. You got to give God something to bless bless me God, and then you go sit on your couch and you ain't trying. Okay, bless me God with what? What? What? What? What are you working with? He can't have the people hire you if you ain't put the app in. Come on, man, how you how you think this works? You know he can't hear your body if you ain't gonna take the medicine and you ain't gonna do none of the things to counteract. You know, you you you can't get lung cancer and then keep smoking and then expect the blessing to come. Come on, man, the blessing comes when you make a proactive step, when you try to do something on the positive side. Look, man, I'm gonna quit messing around with all these people. I'm gonna start going home. I'm gonna leave these women loaning out here. You got to say, all right, man, I ain't going over that at enough. I just ain't gonna get then God can work with you. God help me stop seeing all these women. But you steady on over there calling them setting up stuff. We can nobody help you, because once you get over there, you already know. See. You gotta get proactive. You gotta do something yourself. You make one step, he'll make two. That's that's the key, man. So come on, y'all, you know what. We can straighten this thing all the way out for ourselves. You don't have to be wondering what's going on all the time. You don't have to be confused anymore. You don't have to have your life in the rut. You don't have to hate waking up in the morning. You don't have to feel like your life is going nowhere. There is an answer for all. It is turn around and look at God. Why what you got to lose? Why would you not try it? Just turn around and face him, Turn around and try to make yourself a more righteous brother. Just look, man, I'm gonna do better. You feeling all right, Let's go to theare y'all you're listening to show ladies and gentlemen, boys and girls, we are not shorthanded this morning.

If you coming up next, President Trump is trying to prove that sports teams like him. We'll talk about it right after this. You're listening to the Steve Harvey Morning Show coming up in twenty minutes, R and B Legend Pebo Bryson plus legendary producers. Yes, Jimmy jam and Terry Lewis will be our special guest. But first now, this is according to TMZ, President Trump is furiously trying to prove the sports teams really like him. The pros I'm talking about now, despite the Philadelphia Eagles not coming to a White House by listing off all of the championship team who have accepted his invitations. Trump called off the Eagles visit after learning only a small number of players were actually planning to attend, so he disinvited them or uninvited them. Uh. The others had opted out for several reasons, including trump stand on the national anthem. Protest Um President of the United States has been taking heat over the move from athletes and politicians, including Philly mayor Jim Kennedy, who ripped Trump as um a fragile egomaniac, obsessed with um crowd size and afraid of the embarrassment of throwing a party to which no one wants to attend. Trump responded, Yeah, right. Trump responded to his critics with a flurry of tweets yesterday morning. We have had many championship teams recently at the White House, including the Chicago Cubs, the Astros, UH, Pittsburgh Penguins, New England Patriots, Alabama Clemson National champions, and many others. So that's his clapped back, all right, But he uninvited them when he found out on an interesting guy because he's just really he's a president that's concerned with so many non presidential things and all he's concerned about our small victories that personally embellished him, and nothing else matters. He took this whole issue with this not standing changing narrative, flipped it around, made him about him. He turned it into an anti flag, anti military stance, which it wasn't at all. He successfully did that, and that's all that matters to him. He's fighting this collusion thing because he doesn't want it to appear as though that his presidency is not authentic or you know that he didn't it on its own that he had helped. So he's fighting that instead of saying, hey, we got to prevent any country from tampering with our election process, which clearly they got involved in. Okay, there is no collusion been proven yet, but there is proof and everybody knows it that Russia did tamper with the election. They got involved in the electoral process with Facebook and a couple of other things though, right, So everybody knows that he's so worried that that's trying to say collusion. All he wants to do is they had nothing to do. They did affect the election. They did tamper with the election. Instead of him fighting that, he's defending the fact that he's the legitimate president. You're the president. Is nothing we can do about this now to half ended this man, you dude, right, but it's not doing nothing. He can't do anything, Tommy, because he's so busy concerning himself with nothing. I I I I that he passed that tax bill. But boy, if y'all could look at it, if y'all really understood what that tax bill was, man, y'all be sick. All right, It's time to get caught up on today's national news. So Steve, please and trip, thank you very much. This is a trip with the news, and let's give you a little bit more information. First of all, let's start out with Mexico. Mexico is retaliating against the Trump Administration's tariffs on steel and aluminum exports by slapping duties on American goods on everything from pork products to fruit other agricultural products, along with whiskey steel parts used in cars manufactured both south of the border as well as here in the US, and the new levies range from fifteent depending on the product. Last Friday, President Trump imposed tariffs are on steel and ten percent on aluminum. Those went into effect and now Canada are neighbor to the north and members of the European Union also slapping duties on American products. Meanwhile, send a majority Leader. Mitch occonnell has canceled the Senate's annual August recess. He's claiming that's because Democrats are slow walking Senate action on President Trump's nominations, something the Democrats, by the way, accused the GOP of for the whole eight years President Obama was in office. Anyway, McConnell says senators are going to take the month to work on spending bills and send a minority leader. Chuck Schumer says he'd like to see some progress on healthcare legislation. Nevertheless, he hopes that the President will be rolling up his sleeves too. We assume he'll be here in Washington working right alongside us. Given the urgency off we these weeks, we presume he won't be jetting off to bed Minister or mar Lago. We're spending countless hours on the golf course. I guess we'll see. By the way in the heels of President Trump's disinviting the NFL champion Philadelphia Eagles to his little fun La doom at the White House yesterday when he found out that only about ten members of the team, we're gonna show up the Cleveland Cavaliers, Lebron James says, no matter which NBA team wins the championship this year, neither team that means his are the Golden State Warriors are gonna visit Trump White House either, so don't count on them. Attorneys for former Illinois Governor Rod Bolgoievitch have final the official paperwork needed to request that the President commute the last eight years of his fourteen year prison sentence for bribery and corruption. Lugoievitch was convicted of extorting campaign contributions and are trying to sell the U S. Senate seat left vacant when Barack Obama was elected president to the highest bidder, but did it operate pay a piece of the Lugoievic wrote in The Wall Street Journal last week, says that he served six years in prison so far for just playing politics and everyday fundraising. Even former US Attorney General Eric Holder, by the way, says he feels the former governor sentence was a little it's a little steep there. Investigation underway into the death yesterday of handbag designer Kate Spade, who reports say was found hanging in her Park Avenue, New York apartment. Police say Spade left a suicide note to her thirteen year old daughter, apparently referencing her husband. And Yeah, the people who run the Miss America pageant say they win. Will no longer be judged on their looks. No swim seed competition or none of that anymore.

You're listening Steve Harvey Morning Show coming up at the top of the hour, right about four minutes after today's Strawberry Letters subject I am in love with a Republican but right now it is the nephew. I know it is the nephew. With today's prank phone call. What you got naw, yo, baby got my baby name? Huh that's it, yo, baby got my baby's name. He ain't listen to this. Hello, Hello, I'm trying to reach uh Patrician Patricia. Who is it? How you doing? Listen? Um? My name is Floyd. Floyd. I want to give you a call your your daughter she was teens middle school, right, what's your name again. Okay, what can I do? Right? Well, like I said, your your daughter she goes she do go to middle school, right yeah, okay, Now her name, her name is Dereka. We know that. Okay. Well something no, no, no, not nothing wrong. I mean I don't mean the along you're nothing like that. But let me see what. Well, here's the situation. My daughter actually goes to middle school along along with with your daughter. And it's it's a bit of a problem that that that has arisen that me and my wife just found out about some issues. Derek and your baby in in some kind of trouble or something. No, no, no, no, nothing like that. But I say, you don't with nobody at that school. She don't mess with nobody. She owned the honor roll and everything. I don't have no problems out of Dereka, right, okay, let me know. Let me tell you Ms. Patricia with the problem is, see, my daughter name is Dereka, so and it just blew me and my wife way that it was another Dereka that went to school. Okay, I don't know too many Derecas. That's a unique name. That's cute, okay, right right, Well, here's the problem. Me and my wife. Actually, you know, when it was time to name my child, we thought we was really picking a name that nobody would have a check out for their daughter and to have another Dereka in the school. That blew us away. And I guess the real reason why I'm trying to call you, miss Patricia. See if if, if there's something maybe we can work out, you know, maybe uh, like your Dereka does middle name or nickname she can be called by in opposed to both of them being Derek. You really wanted I try to be the only one with this name. Okay, wait, wait, wait, wait, now you're calling me? Are you asking me to change my baby's name? Well, I mean you you ain't really got to legally change I mean, but just started calling us something else, you know. No, no, wait a minute, so you naming police or something.

It is time buggle up and hold on tight. It is here a strawberry letter subject I am in love with a Republican. Here's Stephen Shirley. I have been in love in a loving relationship for about a year with a man who, for the most part, has provided, protected, and professed his love for me. We have so much in common, but we have several issues where there is total disagreement. In the beginning, we would laugh as we expressed our divergent views on such things as gun control, immigration, and sexual orientation. I asked him if he voted Republicans, and he swore that he didn't. I know that everyone is entitled to their opinions and views, but lately we have been having a few blow ups and disagreements on our current president and gun control. I am a Democrat leaning towards more republic more a liberal ideals. He, on the other hand, has voiced extreme conservative views. I suggested that we not discuss politics anymore since it's creating friction. Can we coexist having such different views on life? We do love each other very much. We have been talking about uh marriage, so I need to know if this is the for better or worse part of love your thoughts excuse me, well, Steve, I will say this to start off. She definitely listened to the show, and she definitely has read your book Act like a lady, think like a man, because she says our man provided part, acted and professed for her. And that's what you talk about in your books one of the things. But having said all that, Uh, this is going to be difficult. Hopefully love can prevail in this relationship, but with this president and your views and his views, it could be very very you know, challenging. I'll say for a relationship, of course, two people who have different political views should be able to coexist in a loving relationship without it getting too crazy and you having to break up or divorce over over situations. But um, with this president, I have known, uh, we have talked about on this show as a matter of fact, about people getting into fights and things like that. So we don't want it to get like that. I think maybe, um, you know, there are two issues here. One, you asked him if he voted Republican. He swore he didn't. Make sure he's not lying about that. You don't necessarily, you know, want to be uh in a relationship with someone who just lies for no reason. But but um, I think what you said about UH not discussing politics anymore since it's creating friction, that may be the way to go if you guys can help it, because it's hard not to in this day and time. But I'll say it's gonna be difficult. Hopefully love will prevail in this relationship. You don't let it get to that. You know, maybe you need to set some boundaries on what you talk about and how far you can go. Maybe you can do that and still find the love in the relationship. But it'll be tough. Steve. Let me just break it down to you. Y'all asks gonna be all and all the damn times, all the time when you have such opposing views. And this ain't about nothing small, this is about life. These are opposing views about life. These are living die matters. These are social issues. When you're talking about gun control, eventually they're gun control gonna turn into um gun violence against black men. Uh. Some police brutality towards African American communities. I'm telling I say something because I always like to put her at the most police officers are great people, most of them really really are. We have a problem with a few and it makes it bad for the whole time. And we have some police departners that needs a complete, complete washing out just like the one in LA had to go through. You're talking about immigration, you're talking about how a person feels about the lives of others who are less fortunate, and then you're talking about sexual orientation. Here's a guy who obviously has some types of feelings that's against your viewpoints about sexual orientation, gay and lesbian rights. Hold up, man, those are big issues, folks. Because you know why these are big issues, and I don't think that love can overcome this. It's because this current president that we have is in the news every day about one of these and if it ain't that it's creating calling NFL players somes of bitches, or saying something really crazy against a fallen member of the military, or are not making up. He's just in the news, man. So how do you get around this in a relationship? I don't think you can. And I would love to say stop talking about it, But how how do you stop talking about something that's in the news every day? It's life. I don't see how your relationship can can can survive this. I would think it could, I would hope it could, but y'all gonna be falling out about everything because he's gonna say something. He's gonna get your drinking. He's gonna fire y'all, gonna be at a party and he's gonna file one of y'all, gonna have some people over the house, and he's gonna fire one on that you asked him was a Republican, he said, nobody got all Republican views. Now, exactly, if you're sitting up in here fighting your hardest to defend President Trump, then that's how you are. And just go on and say that. I know people who do it all the time, all the time. If you watch Fox News, man, watch when Don Lemon or Anderson Cooper has a Republican on that the conservative radio host I can't think of his name, but they defend this man, skip what he's doing wrong. They just keep trying to act like it ain't. But they're trying to make his behavior normal. And they're now what's never come out of the White House before. They're trying to desensitize us to it and make us think it's normal. This is same normal. I'm not finn to sitting in act like this is all right, good luck with this marriage, this relationship, You're better being in love with Like the song all right, listen. We'll let part two if Steve's response coming up in two twenty three after the hour. The subject today of the Strawberry Letter, I am in love with a Republican. You're listening to Steve. Come on, let's get to part two of today's Strawberry Letter, I am in love with a Republican. Let's recap you know, look, you can love a Republican. This you don't have to recap this woman struggling with her decision because her and her husband, her soon to be husband or potential husband, has different views on gun control, immigration, and sexual orientation. Now, this might not be so bad thirty forty years ago, but now with social media and a president that is in the news every day and you got a man who's supportive of what he does and you hate it, that's gonna be a lot of argument that your house. Trying to avoid the subject. It's gonna be hard because we're talking about life. We're talking about life. You know, So can you all make it? Yes, you could, But will it be rocky? I think so. I think so. It's gonna be tough. So you know, you can make it. But if you want to live and sleep with somebody that you are going with a lot. You can go ahead. I did it. It's always I love it. Man, Okay, alright, that's a pretty good run all I had. I tried, Man, I don't know what they Yeah, this is tough, right here is politics is well, let me ask this. It's religion a little different. Like if it's two different religions. That's almost virtually impossible because you're talking about your spirit, challenge soul. Yeah, and you can't ever set that down for one moment. What you're doing, I'm saying grace to who right to the low one, not at this table. You won't exactly, no, man, partner, That is a whole another thing. You're so right on that, Steve, you're right on that to Luke. Can you imagine a Christian and an atheist? No? Oh yeah, so you know, come on, a Christian and an atheist. It won't work. It's not going to work. You're you're on so separate ends of the coin. How can you be a believer in this almighty God and set up and live an attempt to sleep with somebody who tells you he does not exist, who ain't praying? Yeah, that is this person's moral barrama. Yeah, that goes against everything you believe everything. That would be a virtual impossibility. Kenny's two opposing parties live together. Yeah, they can make that work. But to be unequally yoked in terms of religion, that right there, my friend, I just don't see you. I don't, I don't I agree with you? What What did you doing? I don't put no rugs down over here? This is my prayer? Rug Oh not in him? Mr Okay, see right there, it's a fight right there. Right, let's go to lunch. You can't go to lunch. Yeah, see it's too much when you're walking to going to go down to the temple? What temple? To the temple? Food? Hey? That because it's Saturday. Well, let's dry down there, we walks. You can't dry walk if you won't do here is too much? Excuse me? What what are you doing? What is that thing you're shaking? Why are you talking like so tambourine?

We'll be back with more of the Steve Harvey Morning Show and our special guests, the Legends in the building, Peebo Bryson and Jimmy jam and Terry Lewis. Right after this, you're listening to the Steve Harvey Morning Show. We're back with Peebo Bryson, the legend that is Peepo Bryson, I have to say that, and the legends that are Jimmy jam and Terry Lewis. We wanted to ask you guys about Prince. You know, his birthday is coming up the whole time. Yeah, Thursday. Um uh. He was a legend in the town of Minneapolis. Not to mention the world. What are your thoughts, um you go first people artists, people artists to artists. Well, when the first time you hear it, you you realize that's different, and you realize it's personal, and you realize it's it's a message that's condensed. I mean, he found the most clever ways I've ever heard to say something really profound in the simplest way to make us actually get something profound and not run from it or not. He didn't speaking esoteric terms as much as uh as some people do, and when they're trying to say something profound, I mean, uh. We did a thing in I think it was Rolling Stone magazine and we were asked a question of what would do, what advice you would give an artist? I had these two long paragraphs and Prince had two words, be yourself for yourself. I love that. What about you? Is Jimmy jam tearing? Well? When I think about Prince, Um, you know, the first thing that comes to my mind is there's certain people in your life, and there's very few of them that when you achieve a level of success as we've been blessed to do, you could honestly say it wouldn't have happened without them. Prince is one of those people. Because Um, Terry and I were just you know, local guys in Minneapolis making music. Like so many other local guys in Minneapolis. There was a lot of talented folks up there. Prince was the one that broke through, and he broke through in a way that was so big and so influential. It made everybody else come back and go, wait a minute, what else is up in Minneapolis? And the what else was us? And you know in Morris Day and and jelly Ban Johnson and all the folks you know, so Um, Prince, For me, it's just it's the reason that we're even sitting here having this conversation, the reason that we're here with people today, we're here with Steve and all you guys today. I mean, it's as simple as that. If it wasn't for him, there wouldn't really be in us. We're talking about prints and the influence he's had on you guys lives and what do you think about him as an artist and and all of that. His birthday is this coming Thursday. What about you? Terry one of the most amazing artists ever. Um, a friend of brother. The thing that I think he influenced us most with is work ethic. Um. This man worked tirelessly and Um he loved music probably more than life. This man was music. That's that. That was the thing about him that I always remember. He never stopped playing music. We would go to rehearsal, He comes to our rehearsal, rehearsed with us, He go to his band's rehearsal, rehearsed with them, We go get dressed to go out at night. We play all night, and then he come back in the morning at our rehearsal and play as what he recorded after we left the club at two o'clock. At three o'clock morning, Yeah, imagine somebody walking in and this is the back in the days of cassettes for those who remember cassette. He would walk into our rehearsal with a cassette and he goes, here's what I did last night, And all of a sudden comes on and it's like that song scared end and a lot of it did. Wow, such a great memories. Prince was music. I think that kind of sums it up absolutely. Yeah. Yeah, and people you are music. I appreciate that. I love. I mean, it's like like these guys here and and the Great Prince knows the music is not a choice for us. It's it's who we are. It's who I am, and that's there's no motive, there's no more to be said. And you we we're fortunate to to actually be able to use God given talents and and even the influences that that other artists like princes and another artist somehow, whether those experiences are a good battery and different and tough or not tough or easy, it doesn't or too easy, it doesn't matter, because somehow they galvanize you into your craft, you know, into doing what you do best, and they somehow challenge you to be better at what you do. Uh. And it's not a competition because we don't do competition, not not anybody in this room that does music does competition. So there's no competition except for what we did yesterday and the competitions with ourselves and and and how how can we get better at what what we do and what I did yesterday? That's what That's the only thing we really care about. It's it's the eternal pursuit of excellence in a craft. You're still an artist, but I think you should hold classes. Yeah, you need rights in school of music artist one on one. I'll tell you what, working with people on this album was a class because the stories that he told in the education that he gave us, and um, it was it was an amazing process to create the music, but even a better process in getting to know the man what they do. They want to. They extract as much personality as you. You're willing to get much of yourself, if you willing to, if you're willing to, uh to reveal to them. And then they make music, the craft music around who you really are? How unique concept is that? Right? Every time he looks over here, I want to hear your album. I don't know if with Jimmy, I'm so in the hate you you hate me? Thank you, guys, we love you so much. Thank you. The new album is called Stand for Love. It will be out this fall. The new single is love Like Yours and Mine. Go ahead and download that right now. All right? Do that? All right, We'll be back with more of the Steve Harvey Morning Show. Right after this. You're listening to the Steve Harvey Morning Show. The NBA. Steve will test a challenge flag for bad referee calls. Okay, Game three of the NBA Finals is tonight, but people are still talking about how the referees messed up Game one. It's yeah, people are talking about it for the finals. Yeah yeah, you you agree? Huh oh? Come on man? The charge call that they reversed, So that's crazy. While there might be some changes coming as the NBA is planning to test their own version of a challenge flag ahead of next season. They are still working on the details and their h may or may not be an actual challenge flag that coaches throw unto the court, but the coaches will protest calls they think the ref's really got wrong. So there you go, Yeah, we need that now. So they have a protest flag in the NBA. Well what, yeah, the coaches are gonna No, I'm not saying that, Steve. Uh. What they're doing is working on the details, and there may or may not be an actual flag that coaches you know, how the coaches throw the flags on the court, but the coaches will protest calls that they think refs really got wrong when they throw flags on the field in the NFL, are you okay with that? I don't know. You don't think that will work? You know, all all they're gonna do is fighting everything. You know, they're just gonna fighting everything. I don't know, I don't, I don't know, man, I know you can't. It's not like the NFL. You can't throw a flag out on the field one of the players slip on it. That's crazy. Can't do that. Um, and it's gonna stop to play too much. Seeing the NFL, each place stops after each play. You go back, you held up. You got time for that. The NBA is a continuous game. You score, we go down, we run it back up. You get a rebound, we're going back up. It's not the time element like football, you got time to throw a penalty flag because you don't your your coaches upstairs have watched and have watched the replay that you didn't see downstairs. Then they go, hey, man, that don't look good. Throw the flag. You can't do that in basketball. Everybody upstairs, radio and downstairs to my hey, we just saw this interview. It looks bad. Well, there are I mean, people are upset about the referees. They say they messed up Game one. So they're just saying there might be some changes coming. The NBA is planning to test their own version of a challenge flag. God Boy should free though, that's all that should have happened, So some changes aren't coming, Steve. They're talking about it.

Did you do that with Miss Universe? Here? We need to keep these swimsuits in here. We were turning the TV on for if you ain't got to dance swimsuit? Okay. They're also going to change the evening gown portion of the competition. So what she says, they're no longer judging women when they come out and they're chosen attire, their eveningwear, whatever they choose to do. Uh, it's gonna be what comes out of their mouth that we're interested in. This ain't a smart contest, it's a beauty count of test. It's a competition. Uh. You know when they talk about their social initiatives and all that, you know, how they're working in the community and their platforms and stuff. The Miss America competition will air live on September nine on a b C. That's not what's winning. I mean, I absolutely enjoyed the evening Gown competition and things like that as well. Actually, adule the swimsuited dishes. So what are we talking about here? It's out forget it. I mean, you know they've been talking about it for years. Suit out, I'm out. You ain't know none of my TV I'm telling every now, Steve, you know a little bit about competitions and beauty contests and things like that.

So since they have a woman, uh you know, at the head, she decided to concentrate on brains over beauty. I suppose I want to see the ratings that happened at it. Yeah, have you have you found it, Steve, because we're waiting until you need to keep his at the screenshot so you can put it all. That's what he's doing looking on something. Yep. Again. The Miss American competition will air live on September nine on ABC. Surely don't you think that takes away from it? Oh? Absolutely?

You ain't going witty even again, what is your queen? I'm thinking about I'm actually thinking about. Okay, listen, now, you can't do that. We'll have more of the Steve Harvey Morning Show coming up right after this. You're listening to the Steve Harvey Morning Show and other news guys. Starbucks executive chairman Howard Schultz announced that he is stepping down later this month and hinted at a possible run for the presidency in He's sixty four years old. He's president of Starbucks, the executive chairman of Starbucks, Howard Schultz. He's a billionaire. Steve. He's been with a company for thirty six years and has become one of the most politically active business leaders in the country. I actually like him. I've met him. Actually, seems like a nice guy. Yeah. Change. Yeah. And he's been saying all along that he wasn't going to run, he had no political aspirations. Yeah yeah, But somehow two thousand sixteen changed all that. Huh. In two thousand and sixteen, he stepped down the CEO, but stayed with the company as its executive chairman. The move at the time led to speculation that he was considering a run for public office. He said in a memo to employees, I'll be thinking about a range of options for myself, from philanthropy to public service. But I'm a long way from knowing what the future holds us again. If we don't start preparing, somebody, thank you. Donald Trump gonna be president again. He got a lot of votes, man. And I think the part that a lot of people are not understanding is when America looks at Donald Trump's face. I hate to tell y'all this, but that's a face that they're comfortable with seeing. That's a face that they're comfortable with seeing. That's familiar. It's so celebrity status. It represents power, it represents everything they want to be. Powerful, rich, determined. Say what's on your mind. That's his base, man, that's his base. And if you don't think it's a lot of them out there, man, I don't care what they see, any impoles say, because all you gotta do is look at the brazen acts to these people who go I will point out to this brother who had a T shirt printed up that symbolizes how we feel about it. The brother's t serch said, don't let your present there get your ass who and that it's from all of us, I think, and dog that brother put that T shirt on and mint it everywhere. We just don't have the shirt, but it's from all that. Wow. It's like when it's someone's birth and people come more embrazened. Man, they just they have the ability to say whatever they want to say now because he's been firing off. That's what's giving these people the authority and the right. But it just shows how ugly this country is. The underbelity of this country is still very ugly, and that underbelly rises up to the head every now. Man, he get the rallies and he'd be out there. Man, they just his basis, rabbit rabbit fans of this. He can't do no, Howard something. I'm sorry. His name is Howard Schultz. You got it alright. Former j C. P CEO j C. Penny CEO Myron Allman Myron E. Allman will take over as chairman. Schiltz was a very active supporter of President Obama and Hillary Clinton. He's clearly thinking about running in the next election. Yeah, yeah, and Steve, perhaps you could be as vice president. Uh, it's still do one thing that's don't have a whole new others at Bank Round and chick what do you know? Bank Round? Do you know who's the president right now? Thank him? Damn about his background check? Yeah, alright, coming up criminal activity? Well, women, all right, coming up, I'm gonna turn up both. Coming up more of the crazy Steve Harvey Morning Show. Right after this. You're listening to the Steve Harvey Morning Show. President Trump is furiously trying to prove the sports teams really like him, the pros I'm talking about now, despite the Philadelphia Eagles not coming to a White House by listing off all of the championship teams who have accepted his invitations. Trump called off the Eagles visit after learning only a small number of players were actually planning to attend, so he disinvited them or uninvited them. Uh. The others had opted out for several reasons, including Trump stant on the national anthem protest Um President of the United States has been taking heat over the move from athletes and politicians, including Philly mayor Jim Kennedy, who ripped Trump as um a fragile egomaniac, obsessed with UM crowd size and afraid of the embarrassment of throwing a party to which no one wants to attend. Trump responded, Yeah right. Trump responded to his critics with a flurry of tweets yesterday morning. We have had many championship teams recently at the White House, including the Chicago Cubs, the Astros, uh, Pittsburgh Penguins, New England Patriots, Alabama Clemson National Championship, and many others. So that's his clap back, all right, But he uninvited them when he found out only a few. He's an interesting guy because he he's just really he's a president that's concerned with so many non presidential things and all he's concerned about our small victories that personally embellished him, and nothing else matters. He took this whole issue with this not standing, changed the narrative, flipped it around, made him about him. He turned it into an anti flag and anti military stands, which it wasn't at all. He successfully did that, and that's all that matters to him. He's fighting this collusion thing because he doesn't want it to appear as though that his presidency is not authentic or you know, that on his own that he had helped. So he's fighting that instead of saying, hey, we got to prevent any country from tampering with our election process, which clearly they got involved in. Okay, there is no collusion been proven yet, but there is proof and everybody knows it that Russia did tamper with the election. They got involved in the election process with Facebook and a couple of other things too, So everybody knows that he's so worried that that's trying to say collusion. All he wants to do is they had nothing to do. They did affect the election. They did tamper with our election. Instead of him fighting that, he's defending the fact that he's the legitimate president, you're the president. Is nothing we can do about this now here to half ended this man, You dude, right, but it's not doing nothing. He can't do anything, Tommy, because he's so busy concerning himself with nothing. Mimi, I I I I. He passed that tax bill. But boy, if y'all could look at it, if y'all really understood what that tax bill was, man, y'all be sick. All right, Steve, coming up our last break of the day, closing remarks. Okay, get ready, people, right after this, you're listening to the stew All Right, Steve, you know what earlier in the show, Um, I told you this new survey is out. It's about millionaires and it says, if you want to be rich, be positive. Uh. This is according to a new survey. Like I said, millionaires do their best to stay away from pessimists. Okay, the survey found that nine out of ten rich people make it a point to be around people who are positive and focused on success. So, you know, I gotta ask you, Steve, is that true? Do you live your life like that? And? Uh? You know what can we learn from all of that? Well? I mean you really, you really, if you want to be successful, you're going to have to associate yourself with other successful people. They're not hard to find. They're not that hard to find. There are a lot of success driven people. You gotta be willing to strike up conversations. But in order to do it, for the most part, most people have to be willing to step outside of their comfort zone, walk up to somebody who you think is successful and introduce yourself and just say, hey, look, i've never met you. I just wanted to introduce myself. I'm so and so I've noticed you around here. Congratulations. Man. If we could ever get a chance to sit down and talk while I can learn from you, I sure would appreciate that. I don't want anything. I just want to learn maybe some principles of some of the things that most successful people are willing to share that information. Most successful people don't want to give you money, but most successful people will share that information with you to make you feel h I mean, you know, to feel as though they're contributing to your success without being the success. You know what I'm saying. I would much rather give you some advice that can carry you long throughout your life than to give you ten dollars so you can go body t shirts them how to fish. Yeah, it is very true. One of the principles of success. And this can go along. You can ask me a couple of questions like that, Shirley today, because that could be part of our closing remarks. Because people do want to be happy and people do want to be successful. But you've got to be prepared to get uncomfortable. That you have to understand that becoming successful is extremely uncomfortable. It is listen to me, extremely uncomfortable. It is not easy to be disciplined discipline is simply doing everything you have to do even when you don't want to do it. That's disciplined. Well, that right there is uncomfortable getting up every day all the time. Yeah, I got making every meeting, going to all the seminars, making all the classes, taking all the phone calls. You're gonna do. You're gonna do all the phone calls, all the meetings. You're gonna sit there and listen to every pitching proposal. You're gonna do the things. You're gonna read success books. You're actually gonna apply the principles of success and try to live. You mean, you're tell me you're gonna change the way you eat so you can feel better and think more clear to clear, which will help you become more successful. Oh no, I'm not gonna do all that. People don't want to be out of their comfort zone. Because I've heard many more people say, oh, I'm not doing that. I don't feel like doing that today. Stuff. That's the beginning of not being successful. I don't feel I ain't doing that today. I don't feel like everybody has those movies. I get them myself. But for the part nine percent at the time, I go ahead and do what I gotta do. Now. If I move something off, I'm gonna get it done. But we gotta put it in another time slot. But I'm gonna get it done. But I don't leave nothing undone. Well, we know that you have more jobs than anyone. Um, you know what, go ahead, But I did want to ask you this, Steve. I think we touched on it earlier and we didn't get a chance to complete it. But you've made it. Uh, you know, for for a lot of us who know you, and for a lot of people just in general, your fans and every you have made it. You know, you're what success looks like. So are you done? By no stretch of the imagination? Done? I'm not even I'm not even thirded away there? What more do you want? Yeah? Have you ever has anyone ever asked you, well, how much more money do you need? Well? I don't need any more money. No, I a lot more. I don't need no more? Said what more do you want? Well? You know what what is it that I don't I have not provided all the opportunities I feel like that I'm capable of providing. I can't be on any more TV shows, But there are people around me who can I want to be able to provide those opportunities. There are people who have some great business ideas that I would invest in that could turn into something big. I have yet to find the right financial partner that has more than I do that's willing to put some money with my company and go, hey, now let's be partners and let's go do this. I'm always looking for that. I am looking for in a way that my wife and I can send these ten thousand kids to college full scholarships paid. We made a din in it, but we're not close to the ten thousand that we set out to do. I want to change thousands of boys, a lot lives a year. I really let me change that. I want to change a million boys lives a year as opposed to hundreds. What I hear and what you're saying, what I hear is your legacy. This is your legacy you're working on. Your working on that a great deal right now. I want my children's grandchildren to know money, and that's important for me. But I also want to leave a footprint deep enough where I have mattered to people. You know, I just want to matter to people. I not I'm not gonna matter to everybody. I'm not naive, but I want to matter to people. I want to move the needle for people who are less fortunate than me. I want to teach as many people as I can and share the information with as many people as I can that don't really have anybody in their life to tell them the principles of success or anybody in their life to just tell them, man that you could be just how you are and have relationship with God. That's important things to me right now. I think those are lofty goals and reachable goals. And can I tell you one other thing, Shou's on this Wednesday hump Day, Thank you you too.
