Today's show is pre recorded. Y'all know what time y'all don't know, y'all sun giving them like a million bucks things and it's not good. Steve to mother, don't join join me. You gotta use that turn you gotta turn to turn them out. Turn't got to turn them out. Turn the water the water. Come come on your back, Uh huh, I sure will come on. Everybody, y'all listen to the voice. Come on, dig me now, one and only Steve Harvey. Uh how a radio show? Yep? Yep. Sometimes I saw all I can say. Yelp, Man, how far I've come is really unbelievable. But you know I finally figured it out. Man. God allowed me to have the life I've had so that I can become experienced at so many different things. And then this experience when I'm talking and sharing with people, I will be able to relate to a lot of different circumstances, not exact, but just the circumstances. You know. You know, if a person comes to men, they say, man, I've been down and out. Okay, Well I know what that is, man. I didn't I didn't have any direction, Okay, got that been there? Man? At one point in time, and I just kept piling mistake on top of mistakes. Okay, so you know, I think what I'm trying to say to everybody is when you're going through life and life is dealing the cards that it deals, I want you to understand that life deals everybody these cards. The disappointment card, the setback card, the failure card, the mishap card, the unexpected misery card. Everybody gonna get, the grief card, everybody gonna get, the rash of bad decision card, everybody gonna get them. Understand that going in that everybody is gonna get these cards. It's how you play them, though, you know, from time to time, one more time, it's how you play them, you know. From time to time when I'm watch TV, I love to watch the World Series of Poker. I like watching poker tournaments on TV because it's it's really weird. What's happened to a sport? To a poker they're actually trying to call it a sport, you know, And as the everyday guy that doesn't have to be athletically inclined to anything, who has a shot of winning a title if they play their cards right. The best poker players in the world don't have the best hands. They just make the best plays. I've seen guys win a hand with nine two in their hand as nothing and win their hand because they knew the bluff, they knew the odds, they calculated risks, they made the stakes higher than the other person was willing to pay. They gave off the illusion that they had something with an actuality. They had nothing. So what I what I enjoy about poker and watching it is that these people, these people here, played the hand they dealt and it ain't always a good hand. But it ain't whether your hand is good. And it ain't whether you're gonna get dealt bad cards or not, because you're gonna get dealt some bad cars. Everybody ain't gonna get two bullets in their hand. You ain't gonna get two aces when you get dealt. You know, when you play a draw poker, some of your cards gonna be nothing. But you got to turn that nothing into something. So when you get dealt these cards in life, it ain't the fact that you get keep getting them dealt. I was talking with a young person yesterday and we were talking, and we keep having the same conversation over and over and over and they could not understand why they were not moving forward. But I said, you don't understand. Every time we talk we have the exact same conversation. It is simply because you keep getting your cards and you playing them the same way. See. Until you make a conscientious, the conscious decision to do something different, the results will continue to be the same. See here's the way this works. When you're dealt to disappointments in life, it's how you handle the disappointments that determine the outcome and who you are. Because everybody gonna be disappointment, Everybody gonna lose a love one, Everybody gonna make a bad decision, Everybody gonna end wake up one morning they have done something they regretted. Everybody gonna get caught at the wrong time. Every everybody gonna make a mistake. It ain't just you. That is how you play your cards when they get dealt to you. That determine who you are. Na, how do I play my cards better? First of all, it's a mindset. Quit looking at everything as just the end when it happens to you, Oh lord, woe is me? Nah, everybody got your circum stances somewhere. It ain't old. Woe is me. It's hold on, man, Okay, let me play this out to see how God then connected this to something else. See, as soon as a person have a setback, what's the first thing A lot of people do, They go straight negative. I can't see him to get a break. I can't see him move forward. Hold on, man, do you realize this could be connected to something? See you got to understand, man, that this thing is all connected. That you're not having these mishaps and these spills and accidents and falls for no reason. It's so you can become experienced at them. So when he takes you to the next level, when it happens again, you have no how and how to handle it. If you keep throwing yourself off the cliff every time something happened, you're just gonna be a cliff diver. Man, Stop tripping yourself out. I was talking to this young person, I kept saying, and you know what they tried to tell me. I'm trying to stay positive. But the people around here, they're just killing that. Oh. I see. So when you learn something and you know something, you don't take ownership of it. You allow other people to come into what you know and believe and shake it loose from you. I don't care who you are. You're not doing me like that. Here's a deal. I have a gift that was given to me from God. That is the gift of comedy. That's what I've done. I've made the bulk of my living on that skill set. Right there. That are comedians who are supposedly friends of mine, who I've worked with, who get around in huddles with one another and they say, man, Steve really ain't funny. I don't see what they'd be laughing at. He ain't funny to me. He wasn't the funniest king to me. Excuse me, you're irrelevant in this conversation because I regardless as to how you feel about me. That are people think that I'm knocked down kill over funny. But more importantly, I own the gift that God gave to me. I take ownership of his blessing because you don't think it so, you ain't taking that from me. Stop letting people steal your joy. Stop letting people take what you're supposed to know. Look, I'm a I'm a I'm a I'm a kind person at heart. Man, you ain't nothing now you said if you're going, man, I guess I ain't what you're tripping for. You are a kind person, own that take ownership of it. Stop letting things God has given you be taken away from others. The devil's a cold player, and he got cold players working for him, just shaking, just taking stuff from you. You know, I'm a hard worker. I really am intelligent. You stupid man. I thought I was a hard worker. Man. They came in here and said I was stupid. Man, I don't know what I'm doing wrong. What excuse me? You're a very bright person. Hey, y'all take ownership. When God gives you something, blesses you would have gifted talent, a skill set, a mindset. Own it. Don't let people come in here and take it from you. Man, Okay, I probably shouldn't do with it. You're listening to show ladies and gentlemen. Here it is again all praises in honor to our heavenly Father, who gives us life, who gives us daily bread, who gives us opportunities to make adjustments, who gives us new chances to start the day, who wakes us up. Even though we do realize it is him. We don't have the ability to wake up in the morning, so thank you for that. It's another day of quarantine. But man, ain't you glad you alive? I know I am Charley Strawberry who God is gonna bring us on through Steve. This too shall pass, just like everything else has. And that may last a little bit longer than we wanted to, but it's gonna pass. Colin Pharrell A man, brother, Good morning. What's up? Crew? Ye?

Finally, the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame Induction ceremony has a brand new date, Steve November seventh, at the Public Hall in Cleveland.

The class of twenty twenty is made up of the Doobie Brothers, Depeche Mode, Whitney Houston, and the Notorious Big. It will be broadcast live on HBO U. Meanwhile, the Hall of Fame you see him in Cleveland, remains closed and we all know why because of the camp should have put it on Easter Easter weekend. We're back. That's our target days now. You have to clear that with Trump, he just making up dage man. Have you ever been to the Hall of Fame, Steve, the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in Cleveland.

Now, see you was up there on Superior, I said, Timmy, go down. Now there's an alley call to coma dn you walk down that hill. That's where I'm at now, all right, Steve, Time to get caught up on today's head, ladies and gentlemen. Miss a trip. Thank you, Good morning, everybody. This is a trip. The US Senate has come to an agreement on a two trillion that's trillion with a t two trillion dollars of coronavirus stimulus package. This is the largest rescue package in US history, and it includes two hundred and fifty billion dollars to individual Americans, you know, giving individual Americans checks based on how much they make. Of course, if you make more than ninety nine thousand dollars a year, you get nothing. Three hundred and fifty billion dollars in small business loans, two hundred and fifty billion dollars in extra unemployment benefits. It's chock full of stuff like that. So we'll see how it shakes out. But that is the agreement worked out. It was like, took five days of negotiating. It is a bipartisan deal. According to the coronavirus numbers, they're four hundred and seven thousand, four hundred and eighty five positive cases worldwide, eighteen thousand, two hundred and twenty six death, the US reporting fifty two thousand, nine hundred and thirty four confirmed cases, seven hundred and one death. And now the World Health Organization says eighty five percent of all new COVID cases are either coming out of Europe well the US. At the same time, though President Trump is saying he wants to reopen the country in just a few weeks. He says he wants to see the churches full on Easter Sunday, because, as he said at a Foxtown Hall meeting, he didn't want to start out the US businesses in the first place. They came in experts and they said, we're gonna have to close the country. I said, We've never closed the country before. This has never happened before. I gave it two weeks, you know, I guess by Monday or Tuesday. It's about two weeks, and we'll assess at that time, and we'll give it some more time if we need a little more time. But we have to open this country. However, many disease experts say the pandemic might not even peak by Easter. Meanwhile, New Jersey's reporting three thous six hundred and seventy five cases forty four death and now LA Mayor Eric Garsey, this is LA. They're saying that the City of angels is only six weeks behind New York City in the progression of the virus. New York City Mayor build A. Blasio says that the Big Apple will be receiving those four hundred ventilators problems from the federal government's medical stockpile. Ventilators needed to help people with severe respiratory problems to keep breathing. However, Governor Cuomo doesn't want the President thinking he's actually want some brownie points on that. What am I going to do with four hundred ventilators when I need thirty thousand? You pick the twenty six thousand people who are going to die because you only sent four hundred ventilators, Trump says Cuomo is quote supposed to buy his own ventilators. Some twelve thousand New York City residents have tested positive for the COVID virus. Over one hundred people have died. Stock market moved up a bit as word came to members of Congress whom moving closer to passing that stimulus package. And sad news. African jazz funk star Man of Dabano has died from the coronavirus Vangal, originally from Cameroon, died at age eighty six in a Paris hospital. Now back to the Steve Harvey Morning Show. You're listening to show well, Steve. Yesterday, President Trump decided to have a town hall meeting with only Fox News. Okay, only Fox News. He knew he could go and say whatever on Fox right, Yeah, the President is concerned about the economy, he said. He said, we lost, we lose thousands to the flu. We don't turn the country off. The President went on to say he hopes to have a country opened by Easter. As we mentioned earlier, that's on April twelve. However, doctor Anthony Fauci, who's head of the Coronavirus Task Force, and other medical experts have said over and over again, this is a very serious and contagious virus. It's more contagious than the flu. We are in stay at home containment orders to help try to preserve the healthcare system and save lives. Of course, and Steve, we also know that New York and California and Washington State are the hardest hit states, and now Louisiana. We won everyone in the state of Louisiana to obey the state at home order to combat the virus. There are close to seven hundred cases in New Orleans. It's the fastest growing city right now. Yeah. See, you know, as far as him doing a town hall at Fox, yeah, that was it was starting to get out that a lot of Fox viewers were upset because of the messaging that he was sending out and Fox was only playing the upside. Yeah, and it caused a lot of people not to take it serious. Now, of course, I'm not saying that's to read the New Orleans is that shape, because I'm sure it's not. But at a lot of Republicans were upset because Fox would downplay everything, making it like the President is doing such a good job, and it has caused a lot of people not to take it as serious as they should have. Yeah. This old thing, though, y'all is they found a way to politicize it. And it's really horrible because so many people are going to be sick because of this thing, and that don't have to be because a little if America is the richest nation in the world, okay, okay, where the respirators? Where are the things that that that the medical people need, our first responders? Where is this stuff? We're the most we're the richest country in the world, but we are also the most capitalistic. So ain't nobody giving you nothing without getting the money first. That's the American way. They're not getting around that system. That's why he is insisting that we can't shut a country down because we've lost thousands of lives, because What he's talking about shutting down is business. It ain't the country. It's the business of being the country that he's more concerned about than the health and welfare and and and it's obvious the way they're doing things. Coming up at thirty four minutes after the hour, we're gonna switch gears. The CEO. I hear he's in the building, the Chief Love. Oh, we'll talk to Steve Harvey right after this. You're listening to the steven Show. All right, Steve, it's time for the Chief Love Officer, the CLO. Will you go get him? Please have some questions, Okay. Stevens was from Jarvis in Charlotte, North Carolina. Uh, this one says. My girlfriend and I have been going together for almost a year. I would say that I'm a handsome guy, but my girlfriend is super jealous and paranoid. I always get accused of looking at pretty girls whenever we go anywhere in public. Yes, I look at beautiful women, but I'm not flirting with them or trying to holler at them. I'm not going to stop acknowledging other beautiful sisters when I'm out with my girl. Why is my girl so paranoid? Is that normal. First of all, you're stupid. How stupid are you really? Dog? You can't be this stupid? Now. First of all, listen, you consider yourself a good looking guy. But and when you're out in public you look at women that that don't make you cute? Dog, because you look at women what they gotta do with how you look? You just wanted to inform us of that, which is another stupid thing you just said. But are you kidding me? Dog? You're just saying, I'm not gonna stop acknowledging other beautiful women just because I'm out with my girl. You're not gonna have a girl, dog, see, because the problem is your arrogance. Your arrogance is the first thing I'm not gonna stop. But then the second thing is your disregard for your girl's feeling. You're disrespectful. What is wrong with you? What you dog's way? You gotta daddy man, Dog, You ain't got nobody that ever, you could have ran this by in what your friends saying? What what suckler dudes you in? I mean, damn dog. But he thinks it's her, Steve, that she's paranoid, that she's not. No, he's listened to me. This is arrogant. She's paranoid because I look good. No, Dog, your disrespect she's concerned. See, I'm not gonna stop looking at dog. Why are you staying at these women like this? Because as a man, if you keep staying at him, you gonna want what you want. Yeah, not dog. Hey, look, man, why don't you do this right here? You're too disrespectful at this point and too self centered to be in a relationship. Why don't you let your girl go and then you go do whatever you want to do. But you can't have your cake and eat it too, dog. If you want to be in a relationship, then may a commitment to the girl. You can't have her thinking that y'all ain't got nothing because you you're eating your cake, but you looking over to everybody else's played with cake and pound Pardner that let me get a scoopid That damn Pardner, that ain't how to this work? You got your bowl? He sees nothing wrong with his act. No, it's because because he's self centered and arrogant. Yeah, and then you couple that with disrespect and you have you don't have a very good combination. Your girl should leave you. Dog, you're pretty self pretty for her. I can't stand with a dude, so I'm really attractive? Why he I don't like dude, Tommy, I'm sexy different. Come on, let's go all right, let us from Caissa and Delaware Steve. All right, it says I'm engaged to a really great guy. Things are all good until he gets arounds his friends and starts drinking. He becomes an obnoch, know it all and such a turn off. He tries to hide his drinking with mouthwash when he wants to be intimate with me. Intimacy is the last thing on my mind when he's drunk. How can I make him understand that? When he's drunk, I don't want his hennessy smelling kisses all over me. Yeah, there's a problem, Charissa. You know it's not no how do I it's your body? It's you Now? Are they married? No? Well, they're engaged. Engaged, But when he gets around his boys, he drinks and he becomes somebody else. Alcohol changes him. You know what alcohol does. It's bringing out the real hymn. Now. I don't know if it's says that you don't like the person he becomes when he drinks, or you just don't want his drunk breath on you and he try to cover it with mouthwash. You don't want it. You ain't gonna have it. That'll stop a drink from drinking. I'd rather have sex than have a drink. Yeah, all right, shoot it. That's it for asked the CEO.

We could be reading your letter, just like we're gonna read this one right here, right now. Bug, hold on tight, we gotta fire you Strawberry letter. All right, here we go. Subject. I'm starving and I need a larger portion. Dear Stephen Shirley, I've been in a relationship for a little over a year with a wonderful man that I met online. We're both in our forties and never been married. He is on the shy side and hasn't dated a lot. When we met, I could tell that he was a lot more laid back than me, and he did not have much experience with women. So I was patient with him and he started opening up more. I was also patient with him in the bedroom after I noticed he was not as experienced as I am. I had to teach him everything and train him on how I like it. He did everything just like I taught him, but he has not tried anything new on his own. I encouraged him to watch a few videos on a porn site, but he said that those guys on there are wild and have no respect for women's bodies. I wanted to yell at him, but instead I told him that sometimes it's good to go a little wild and crazy. He doesn't get it, and on top of he's not that well endowed, so I always end up starving for a larger portion to feast on. I know this is something we can work out, but I need to know how to reach him and get him to be more open minded. I don't want to scare him away by being the aggressor in bed. He's dominant at work, when we're out on dates, and when he interacts with his friends, but he turns into a puppy dog in the bedroom. So surely should I release my inner beast and show him what I like? Or should I keep acting like a drill sergeant in the bed telling him what to do. We're compatible in every other area. Please advise, drill sergeant. Mmmmm nah, I don't necessarily advise. You'd be you know that you're a drill sergeant or anything like that. That could definitely, you know, me, a turn off because men have really fragile egos. You know, you're yelling at him, do this? Do that? You know, and based on what you said in the letter, that's not working anyway, so it might be time to switch your game up. I don't think you could take him too fast. I think you know, his pace is quite different from yours. You mentioned in the letter that he was shy. He's in his forties, he hasn't had much experience, so he's shy. I think demanding that he watched porn and do like those guys in the videos that turned into a turn off for him. So that's not it. I think in spite of all this, you did put some work in. You got him to finally loosen up, you know, and do the things you taught him. But now you're mad because he hasn't tried anything new and wild. Maybe he's just not that guy. Maybe he's just not that guy, and maybe he never maybe he never will be. I think you need to be a lot more patient with him, except him for who he is and his shortcomings that you mentioned. That's if you're planning on staying with him, and it sounds like you are. You said you think you can work things out, but again, not like the drill start. You have to compliment him and what he's doing. Right. You got to tell him how it makes you feel, tell him you know the things that you'd like. Continue to do that and ask him what he likes. You didn't even mention anything about that in the letter, because you know, just because you have more experience than a man and all that, that doesn't mean that you're satisfying him. That doesn't mean that necessarily if this doesn't get you what you want in the bedroom from him, I mean, you just gotta face some facts that this may be as good as it gets, and he might not be that guy for you sexually. Sex is really important in a relationship, and you may be too advanced for him. You just might be that. You know, it depends on how much patience you had. And if that's the case, Yeah, that's the case, you might have to find someone that's more sexually compatible with you. And that's okay, Steve, Well, well, well look him. Well, I see this letter a little bit differently. First of all, Shelly's advice was very spot on. You should do all of what she said. I've kind of read the letter a little bit different some time, because I don't really care you both in your forties, they've never been mad, right there? Why? Why? Why both of y'all in y'all forties ain't ever been Maddy? See something wrong with both of y'all. He too damned shine, you too damn much Yep, that's what it is. Yep, you've been too much your whole damn life. That's why you ain't never been mad before. And he ain't never been enough damn whole life. That's why his ass ain't never been mad before. So y'all just too fun of y'all people, One of y'all too much in the earlier not enough, and now y'all meta your own line and now y'all trying to make it work. When we met, I could tell he was a lot more laid back than me. Hell, everybody more laid back in you probably, And he didn't have much experience with women. Ain't the whole body gonna have all the experience you gotta sound like? I was patient with him, and start he started opening up more, he tried to learn. I was patient with him in the bedroom after I noticed he was not as experienced as I am. Well that was good. You had to teach him everything and train him high like it. Oh okay, Or you're a trainer now, oh oh I see, Oh oh you're a trainer now. Oh you makes people better in bad Could this explain why both of y'all in y'all forties and ain't nobody being bad. You're a trainer, and he ain't ever been trained. I think I see something in this letter right here. He did everything just like I taught him, But he ain't tried anything new on his own. Hell, all of it new to him. All this you showed him, this is brand new. So it ain't that he ain't trying nothing new. He trying to perfect what he just learned from who to try? You know, girl? You something else when I come back. I got plenty more where that came from. Just sit tight. Steve Harvey on five is more. Yes you are, stee. We'll have part two of your response coming up at twenty three minutes after the hour. I'm starving and I need a larger portion. We'll get back into it right after this. You're listening to Steve Harvey Morning Show. All right, come on, Steve, let's recap today's Strawberry Letters. Subject I'm starving and I need a larger portion. Well, I was on commercial break and I'm doing the letter. Something was brought to my attention that I have to address. I'm just talking about the woman and the man in this letter right here. I know it's a lot of forty year old women out there, and ain't nothing wrong with you for not being made. But your aunt saying, a six trainer, and that's what this letter is about. A six trainer and a sex student. That's what this letter is about. So if you're in your forties, you don't have to be offended because I'm only talking about forty year old sex trainers and forty year old sex students. Now back to what the hell I was saying. Now, she didn't taught this man and how to be everything she needed him in bed and do it just how he liked it. And he didn't done everything she said. The problem is he ain't tried nothing new. But now, like I told you, Ellien, what you taught him is all new to him. It is new, so he trying to perfect this. The problem is he ain't perfecting it quick enough because you're ready to move on to next level six dahn. See, he didn't taught you what he knows. So you told him, you said, I encourage him to watch a few videos on a pawn sight. But he said, those guys a while and have no respect for women's body. I wanted to yell at him, Joe, what can't you want to take that's a drill searching voice. Yeah, baby, I don't want to do this to you. These me and are rough and they disrespect with his body. That's what I want, baby, Listen to me. I don't want to be to you. What the damn taste that? I want? Some respect? Give me all the throw me in the float to hear you think I gave him the damn video tape fault your pass and there talking about its true work. It ain't too damn work. You ain't enough. See that's the problem we got. She too much. I wanted to deal it him, but instead I told him that sometimes it's good to go a little wild and crazy. I want some wild and crazy sex. So now what I think you need to do now here? I mean, he got another problem too, What's that? He's not that well and dial? There you go. Now I'm starving and I need a larger portion. See in other words, Well, no matter what I tell you, we're gonna come up, little short. You know what I'm saying. I mean, you know I think this information I'm about to be give you might be a little thing. You know what I'm saying. I think you need all or more fuller piece of information. I think you need all I think I need to. I need to share with you something. Uh and that's got a little bit more substous to it. That got a little bit more fat on it, you know what I'm saying. So let me just go on and give you some suggestions, because you seem like you everywhere. So why don't you bring a couple monkeys in the room tomorrow night? Just things like that. Maybe, Yeah, go outside and ball the neighbor Swain set they got kids, bring a bring a jim bore in now. You know, I'll tell you what. This is a cheap. You don't need this, don't even cost a lot. Get you a set of monkey balls and put them in the bed room, seesaw. Bring a massage table in there that don't cost him. You know. Buy a book call Sex for Dummies. You know they got the dummy books for everything. If you can't find a book, yeah, you know, how about a Bobbie Q grill rat? Just a rat. I don't know what you're gonna do with it, but try something. I got an idea. You seem like a real wild girl girl. Go down now and buy yourself a Politis machine and bring that damn thinking that and strap your ass on that and watch what happened. Then, yeah, you've got to do some things. That's a little bit extra. Now we're compatible in every other area, please advibe. So now let me say this tea system. You don't met a man that's great in every area. Treat you like a queen, y'all talk, Ye'll have a great time. He do what you're told him do He just he ain't that will and died and he ain't. He ain't in her brain, you know. Now, surely said you could leave him and go get somebody else. But now you got some big man ding. Go up in there, do all of that. Paint you just the way you like to be painted. Fry your bacon like you wanted fried, you know, rub it, flip it, pancake, toss you all that. Oh no, but he ain't worth for damn, you ain't compatible. He don't want to go nowhere. All he want to do is come over and do it. So now I think you got a good man him. I would work with him a little bit, teach him a little bit more. You're gonna have to let him know who you really are. And this is how I want you to do it when he laying in the bed. I want you to crawl from the bad foom on the float. I'm in, I'm in. Go ahead, Yes, just reach up with your arms and snatch his ass in the float and vandalize his ass. I mean really, just vandalize his ass and throwing back up on the bed. Now, he could either be better or he gonna leave you, I'm saying. All right, post your comments on Today's Strawberry Letter and Steve Harvey FM, Instagram and Facebook coming up. See, we have more questions for the CLO right after this. You're listening to stew All right, Steve, here's another question for ask the CLO the check before I start these questions second round right here. You know, folks, you can still order from Amazon and to come to your house doing this quarantine. Act like a lady, think like a man. Yes, is a book that's about eleven years old now, but it's still a great book. And I would like the ladies to know though, that the new book is coming. I'll be finished with it by August. It's coming. I've been writing it. It's going to be an incredible look into the mind of men and ladies. It'll tell you exactly the things that you should do. That's all I can tell you. Right, Come on us look forward to that. Steve all right. This one is from Alicia and Dallas. She says, I was helping out a friend by letting him stay with me for a month so he can get back on his feet. He's been sleeping on my couch and things were okay until last week when I walked past him in my robe and he grabbed the sash and untied it. I was a little turned on by it, but I yelled at him and told him to stop playing. Nothing has happened, but now the sexual tension is thick. He said he wants us to be more than friends. My best friend says he wants to be with me because he has nowhere else to go. Am I being naive? Is my best friend? Right? Or should I go for it? Curl? Yeah? When when he grabbed your sash and your road came open and you said stop playing, Well that's how she said it. She stopped playing. You played too much, You stopped you, you stopped What is you running this by your friend? The sexual tension is big and then now he on your couch. You bounced by one more time. Yea, yeah, you already know what's gonna happen one more head. First of all, what you're walking past him in the road for. Ain't no putting him out? She won't him there. She invited the man over there. She ain't sick of him. She ain't say the month is up, she said. He grabbed my sash, and I told him you stopped playing, and it turned me on. She to her girlfriend, girl, I'd have lost my month. He grabbed my sash, almost told his ass, I get it. His thoughts though, Yeah, please let me tell you something. Him living on the couch ain't even a problem. Surely, it's just not even her problem is what she gonna do with his sexual attention? What somebody she thought was his friend? I told women all the time, me and be your friend. Not if you attractive, ain't even be your friend. Pretty well, now, yeah, I put him out now, that's what I'm saying. My prediction. It ain't gonna be on the couch much. Owner. This is happening by friends, all right. Coming up at the top of the hour. Due to COVID nineteen, some non violent prison inmates are being released. We'll talk about that right after this you're listening, well, Steven Rikers in New York City is planning to release three hundred non violent inmates from prison. This is after a prisoner tested positive for COVID nineteen on the West Coast in La County. That jail is one of the largest prison systems in the world. They have an average population of twenty two thousand prisoners. They've released six hundred prisoners due to COVID nineteen. That's according to the La Sheriff's Department. They got to do more than that. Yeah, twenty two thousand, yeah, six hundred. Yeah, but these are non violent prisoners. Now in other states, the courthouses are closed, jury trials have been delayed. Prison reform advocates from all of the country say that those that are in jail or high risk, and several prisoners are now banning in person visitors. So, yeah, this is serious right here. No, I mean these prisoners, once you get an inmate to test, there's close close quarters, there's no way to go. Yeah, you're you know, these inmates are human beings, man, And if they're in there for non violent things, especially anyway, all of these people is in there on drug charges. They should let all these people out because we sell drugs. Now weed is legal legal. Yeah yeah, I mean, I was watching a thing on Netflix the other day called q Ball. That's a really great special. It's it's from Saying Quentin. It's this basketball team and the Warrior's front office goes and plays them. You know, people who used to be basketball players that's in that were played in college and stuff that work for the Warriors, and you know, they spawnsed some uniforms and stuff. It's a really cool gesture that the Golden State Warriors do. And the thing is called q Ball. It's on Netflix. It's a really great special. But it just shows you, man, how many really, really good people are locked up in prison. This one dude is in there because of the three strike law. He has never committed a violet and fence ever in his life. His third offense was he was on the bike and he was taking a gun somewhere and the police stopped him. He had a gun on him here in jail for the rest of his life. He got more time than people that do murder. And this black dude just been in jail just cause of that. Now, stuff like that, they gotta start reviewing some of this and let some of these people out, you know, people that violate their probation on the technicality, you know, because they were late going meeting up with their probation. Stuff like that. Yeah, yeah, yeah, I feel they should let him out. Douglas stuff, he can get out. He can't come here, Junior. What they're talking about? Who my great cousin Douglas. Yeah, my great cousin. He just he don't want of these relief programs. They called me a very time. I can't he come to the house. Uh no, See, there's a reason why inmates got to go to a rehab house first, because they gotta be reacclimated back to the side. Douglas can't come straight out and come here. No, no, no, I'm not gonna live in quarantine. I'm not gonna live in here with Douglas with these prison rules. I'm not gonna do that in my house. Around the corner, y'all want to look around the corner and Douglas looking at me through a mirror he got over his shoulder. I ain't gonna do all that in here. I'm not gonna have Douglas straight in his genea he don't want to iron. He want to lay between the mattress and lay on him. We gonna do that, and I'm not gonna have all that. I ain't gonna ba of time I walked past him. He lined up by the water, by the fireplace. I'm not gonna do that. I'm not gonna do it. Every time he eats, he looking over his plate up at me. He's gonna do something. You think I'm gonna give him Douglas a real knife and four in my house? But you think company you've been quarantined Douglas. He go to a halfway house. She already called. You think I'm gonna give him Douglas on real knife and four? Do you think I'm gonna do that? To eat with? Ye? At all? My look like little palm for chess gags? He called the ball, So we quarantine. Now I got a bishop and a king in here. I ain't I hear what uncle saying. I hear what I'm saying, but not not at my house. Now, I'm douggas go. But to sit your ass out there on the Hudson. All right, I'm sorry about that, Junior, coming up more trusting you stories on the Steve Harvey Morning Show, and twenty minutes after, right after this, you're listening show. All right, Steve, some update and this is a quick update on the prison story we're talking about where Rikers in New York is planning to release some three hundred non violent inmates from prison. This is after thirty eight prisoners tested positive for COVID nineteen. And you know what, man, and that's saying, let me tell you something. These inmates are human beings. Whatever they've done, they're facing the same danger that everybody else is facing. And this is life threatening. And you've got to let these inmates out of there, man, so they can go and get into a real quarantine because you can't quarantine them in jail because there's nowhere to go. Disinfection just goes from place to place to place. And they're not taking care of these men and women at all. They just got them all in there, and you don't. I'm telling you that they're housed inhumanity. Now. People say what they want, They don't. You can't do the time, don't do the crime. You can. You can serve your time. You don't have to be treated like you're a piece of garbage, animal no, and a lot of these people in here for non violent drug related offenses, and you've got to let these people go. Selling dope is not a death sentence. Robbing somebody is not a death sentence. And that's what's happening. If you leave these men and women locked up trying to prove point, we're going to have a huge disaster because we got these people confined in this space and all you're trying to do is punish him for a crime, and death should not be the penalty. Yeah, all right, Well, all right, we'll have more of the Steve Harvey Morning Show and some trending news coming up at thirty three minutes after the hour, right after this, you're listening Harvey Morning Show. Well, Steve, yesterday President Trump decided to have a town hall meeting with only Fox News. Okay, only Fox News. He knew he could go and say whatever on Fox, right. Yeah, the President is concerned about the economy, he said. He said, we lost, we lose thousands to the flu. We don't turn the country off. The President went on to say he hopes to have a country opened by Easter. As we mentioned earlier, that's on April twelfth. However, doctor Anthony Fauci, who's head of the Coronavirus Task Force, and other medical experts have said over and over again, this is a very serious and contagious virus. It's more contagious than the flu. We are in stay at home containment orders to help try to preserve the healthcare system and save lives. Of course, and Steve, we also know that New York and California and Washington State are the hardest hit states, and now Louisiana. We won everyone in the state of Louisiana to obey the stay at home order to combat the virus. There are close to seven hundred cases in New Orleans. It's the fastest growing city right now. Yeah. See, you know, as far as him doing a town hall at Fox, yeah, that was it was starting to get out that a lot of Fox viewers will upset because of the messaging that he was sending out and Fox was only playing the upside. Yeah, and it caused a lot of people not to take it sisus. Now. Of course I'm not saying thats to reap the New Orleans is that shape because I'm curious not, but at a lot of Republicans were upset because Fox would downplay everything, making it like the President is doing such a good job, and it has caused a lot of people not to take it as serious as they should have. This whole thing, though, y'all, is they found a way to politicize it, and it's really horrible because so many people are going to be sick because of this thing, and that don't have to be because look, if America is the richest nation in the world, Okay, okay, what the respirators? Where are the things that there that the medical are people need, our first responders? Where is this stuff? We're the most we're the richest country in the world, but we are also the most capitalistic. So ain't nobody giving you nothing without getting a money first? That's the American way. They're not getting around that system. That's why he is insisting that we head shut a country down because we've lost thousands of lives. Because what he's talking about shutting down is business. It ain't the country. It's the business of being the country that he's more concerned about than the health and welfare and and and it's obvious the way they're doing things. Coming up our last break of the day, it's the last break of the day, you better say it. And some closing remarks from the one and only Steve Harvey right after this at nine at right after this, at forty nine minutes after the hour you're listening to show. All right, Steve, here we are last break of the day. It's been a good day. We got through it, we did day another day. It's interesting time that win, you know, Yes it is. Let me say something. You know, as as a morning show and our show has always been first geared towards uplifting people and then secondly entertaining. I mean we open with a spiritual message. We closed with some type of message or promise or positive notes. So we've all we've been in an uplift business here, but entertainment is our main focus. But of late, because of what we're going through around the world. South Africa, a place that's very close to me, has now instituted a mandatory twenty one day enforcement law over there. A friend of mine what'sapped me and said, if you're outside and you don't have permission to be outside or one of the special workforces, you're sentenced to thirty days in jail. That's happening in South Africa Botswana another places did in my heart the leadership over there. They've closed the borders of Botswana. Ain't nobody coming in he ain't don't drive over here, don't flying here nothing. They're serious, man. Everybody's aware of what's happening in Italy. Everybody's aware of what's happening in China. Now we are keenly aware of what's happening here in America. I want to say this to everybody. Listen, man, there is an upside to this. I know you've all heard me say this a hundred times. If you listen to the show, behind every moment of adversity, there is a lesson and there is a blessing. We're gonna find it in this. If you love God, and you all personal faith, and you all believer, no matter how beaten down you've been in life, you've recovered and and and and handled gotten through somehow all of it. No matter what your position is, you've managed to somehow survive at all. This too shall pass. But in the midst of it, though, see that I was learning in my morning meditation, in my daily devotional that really understanding God is thanking Him and showing gratitude even in the midst of difficult times. It's hard for people to be thankful in the midst of difficult times because you're so focused on the difficulty. And right now, we're so focused on the quarantine and the lack of work and the people losing positions and paychecks that it's causing us not to be grateful anyway. And like I said, I know that's difficult what I'm saying to you, but I've started finding ways to be grateful anyway. The fact that we're still healthy, the fact that we're still here, the fact that we now have time to pause, and in this moment of pause, there's an opportunity for all of us to do something and turn this into something. Behind every moment of adversity, there is a lesson and a blessing. I'm looking for both of those. I'm looking for the lesson in it, and I'm looking for the blessing in it. So I just made a conscious decision. The first day or two I was going to stare crazy, and then I caught myself and I said, wait a minute, Steve, hold on, man, that can be good in this. You can't go to work, okay, I got I need to go to work. I want to go to work, and I'm tired of be in this house. I got that. I got that when heard enough of it. But what can you do while you have this moment of pause? And so three things I decided to do. I said. Number one, I'm gonna get better spiritual. I'm gonna have a closer walk. I'm gonna really get in contact with God and go over my visions and dreams with him. I'm anna real talk to God about the things that are bothering me. And I've started bringing a lot of stuff to him. I mean a lot of it, man, matter of fact, all of him, every little thing. And I found out, man, I have a much closer relationship with him when I just bring everything to him. He really wants to talk to you about everything. He ain't ever busy, he ain't ever tied up. You don't need to schedule an appointment. Man, This relationship is really a good relationship, and you can do it while you quarantine. You ain't got no distractions. Second thing I'm doing is I decided that Marjorie and I were gonna be even better teammates. So we spent a lot of time talking more about teammates stuff, and I find out some stuff about her and some stuff about me, and you know we're laughing. You know we're going through some challenges because we're in here now, you know, like everybody else. But overall, I happen to not only love this girl. I like this girl. So we cool now. If that ain't the case with everybody. If you don't like the person you live with, you catching it right now. But it could be a time to repair some things too. Maybe you really do still love the person, you don't like them, but let's find out what's the things you don't like. Maybe we can work on them while we're there. You can get through this, You really can if you start remembering the things that you loved and liked about the person in the beginning. Maybe the person forgot that you liked a couple of things. Maybe it's time to remind each other. You can get closer together. Family time is available. Now do stuff with your kids. I know you don't feel like homeschooling them. I got all that, but that is an upside to this. You just got to look for. And the third thing, I just decided I was gonna get physically in better shape. You know if you got a balcony, go out on your balcony. You know you got a little room in your house. Man, you can do some calisthenics and work out. Maybe y'all can cook together, eat better grocery stores. It's still all. I've just decided to turn this into a positive, to find the bright side. There is a lesson and a blessing behind every moment of adversity. You gotta look forward, pray about it, and find it. You'll be okay, This too shall pass. Those are my closing remarks.
