Speaker 1 (00:00):
Today show is pre recorded.

Speaker 2 (00:04):
Y'all know what time. Y'all don't know y'all.

Speaker 3 (00:09):
At all at all. So given them.

Speaker 4 (00:15):
Back a million bus busby listening to me, shot Joy, Well, yeah, Joy.

Speaker 5 (00:59):
You don't you turn?

Speaker 6 (01:06):
Love, turn, you gotta turn.

Speaker 3 (01:31):
I got to turn the mouth.

Speaker 5 (01:42):
Turn.

Speaker 3 (01:43):
You probably got to turn the mouth, turn out.

Speaker 2 (01:46):
A word the money.

Speaker 3 (01:49):
Look, come.

Speaker 7 (01:58):
Come on, you'll think that, Uh huh, I sure will.
Good morning everybody. You are listening to the voice, Oh
come on, dig me now, one and only Steve Harvey.

Speaker 8 (02:11):
Man got a radio show, borl bor Oh boy, I
can't even tell you.

Speaker 5 (02:17):
Man.

Speaker 8 (02:18):
I've been doing some thinking and and one of the
things that I wanted to mention today to you as
one of the principles of success, being grateful at all
times is difficult to do. Being grateful at all times

(02:42):
is very difficult to do. I find that to be
true with myself. Now there are others that might be
able to do it, but just from talking and listening
and living and learning, being grateful at all times is
difficult to do. But it's not necessary because it's such

(03:03):
an act of faith in knowing that no matter what's
going on, it's going to be alright, And it's hard
to see that when things are not going in your favor,
when things have turned so dramatically the other way, and
it seems as though you're the only one in the

(03:25):
situation where you're involved with other people, or someone got
an accusation against you falsely, or somebody trying to do
something to you unjustifiably, whatever the case may be. When
it's happening to you, it does appear to you that, oh,
my goodness, man, this is horribly one sided.

Speaker 2 (03:46):
So it is difficult.

Speaker 8 (03:48):
It's hard to do to be grateful at all times,
but it's so necessary. And I just want to point
out a couple of things to you. First of all,
the difficulty in being grateful in hard times is that
number one, the present circumstances. Oftentimes it's just so pressing

(04:11):
and so overwhelming that a lot of your energy is
devoted to trying to come up with the solution for that,
or trying to muster the strength to whether the storm,
or trying to just brace yourself to try to get
through it, and in doing that, you don't It's hard
to be grateful. It's hard to be grateful in pain,

(04:33):
and I know it is, but here is the trick
for me. This is what I've had to learn how
to do, and I guess it takes practice to get here.
It's not nothing you just start doing right away. You
got to practice it in small increments to really get it.
What I've always had to say to myself and what
I've learned to say to myself is this is happening

(04:57):
to me because God is working me through something. This
is happening to me because it's some form of tests
that I have to pass in order to graduate to
the next grade, and that in order to be allowed
to move to the next level. This is happening to
me because there's something I need to purge my life,

(05:21):
of my body, of my spirit, of something's purging in me.
And when you purge something, it's it's painful, you know,
It's like a person getting off drugs. The withdrawal is agonizing.
I've been told and every documentary I've ever watched it
it's an agonizing process to go cold turkey, to withdraw,

(05:44):
to pull away after you've been doing something so long.
And so I know that this process is tough when
you're going through some pain, But when you're purging your system,
when you when you're having to pass a test, when
you're about to make when you're being made ready for

(06:07):
the next level. That moment right in there, in realizing
that that's what's happening, that's where you find the gratitude.
That's where I found the gratitude. I hope I'm explaining
this correctly. I'm gonna keep trying until I get it.
But that's where you find the gratitude. The second part

(06:27):
of it is is that God has never left me
in all the things I've done, in all the mistakes
I've made, all the lies I've told, all the situations
I've gotten myself into, from being greedy and wanting too
much for me at the expense sometimes of other people,

(06:52):
not doing it deliberately or in a vindictive way, because
I've never had that spirit. I'm not a vendicive or
a mean person, but sometimes in my life, in wanting
to do what I wanted to do, I didn't totally
weigh out the cause and effect of the other person.
I mean, can I just be real with you with that?

(07:15):
I mean, how many times we'dn all done that? Look,
it doesn't it don't make you a bad person, you know,
good people do bad things all the time. I just
happened to have come to the realization that unknowingly and
and not and not with malice intent towards a person,

(07:36):
I've hurt people looking at something I wanted to do
without really looking at what the cause and effect would
be on the other person. So in doing some of
these things, I've created situations for myself. But God, through
his grace and mercy, has allowed me to even get

(07:57):
beyond that. So when I'm saying that God has never
left me in spite of myself, He's always gotten me through.
So that's the other part of it too. See that
no matter what you're going through, you've got to understand
that God has always gotten you through it now has
any Now that may not be the way you want
it or the way you liked, but guess what, you

(08:19):
can't do wrong and not pay for that. Now that
that's not how this works, That's never going to be
the case. But the great thing about God is he
fires warning shots at us all the time. He gives
us an opportunity to stop. You know, he don't fully
punish us right away every time we do something wrong.

Speaker 2 (08:36):
Now does it? You know?

Speaker 8 (08:38):
Eventually you're going to get caught doing whatever it is
you're doing. You do understand that, don't you. But the
first time, that close call, that was a warning shot
for you to stop. Look, I know you're not perfect.
I know we all sinners down here, so I know
you're gonna make mistakes. One time, I know you was
looking at her when you weren't supposed to. I know
you said something to him when you wasn't supposed to.

(09:00):
I know you got with her when you know you
wasn't supposed to. And I know you got with him
when you know you wasn't supposed to. So I tell
you what I'm gonna do. I'm a fire warning shot,
and maybe you'll slow your roll this time. But we
keep on though. See see see that's what happens. See
we just keep on and then the next thing, you know,
we get caught. Now, Oh Lord, have mercy, I won't

(09:22):
out of this.

Speaker 2 (09:23):
Yeah.

Speaker 8 (09:23):
Well see, you done dug this hole pretty deep and
he gonna get you out. But it's some things that's
got to go down now because you didn't pay attention
to the warning shot. See, had you stopped the first time,
you felt bad about it and said you wasn't gonna
do it no more, the situation wouldn't be as critical.

Speaker 2 (09:40):
But because we don't stop and we go again. But
God always.

Speaker 8 (09:44):
Forgives, He always allows us to get back up again.
He always gives us a mercy, He always gives.

Speaker 2 (09:54):
Us his grace. He always does that.

Speaker 1 (09:57):
You're listening to the Steve Harvey Morning Shot.

Speaker 8 (10:01):
Ladies and gentlemen, boys and girls, boys and girls, boys
and girls, rabbit trainers, gorilla tamers, you know, and somebody
never heard of a gorilla tamer. I've never heard a
person that tames gorilla. You just can't go get a
gorilla out the while and him make him do what
you want to do.

Speaker 2 (10:21):
You ever thought about it at the circus?

Speaker 8 (10:25):
Gorilla ain't at the circus, but no looking at you
like okay, yeah, anyway, hey, y'all. You know what, Yeah,
ladies and gentlemen, this is how we're gonna do it today.
We're gonna say thank you for this opportunity for another
day in the land of the living, for another day

(10:45):
of prosperity and promise, hope and faith. Now it might
be some challenges, but I'm counting on the fact that
you've gotten me through all others.

Speaker 2 (10:55):
I'm expecting you to get me.

Speaker 8 (10:56):
Through this one. I'm expecting some great things from God today.
You do the same, and He has never failed me yet.
And don't forget God ain't ever too late. I'm talking
to myself right now because I'm still waiting on something.
Ladies and gentlemen, Steve Harvey, Morty Show, Shelton Strawberry College, Reil, Mississippi,
Monica Junior and the legend that is nephew Tommy Junior
got on the shirt to say barbel.

Speaker 9 (11:17):
Oh yeah, barbell a bully, Yeah, go ahead?

Speaker 2 (11:24):
What's on your mind?

Speaker 10 (11:25):
So?

Speaker 3 (11:25):
Uh, you know what, man?

Speaker 11 (11:26):
You said challenges man, But you know what I knows
about you, Uncle Steven, since working with you. You motivate yourself.
You ain't nobody motivating you. You ain't looking for it.
You get up, you stay motivated. So how do you
deal with your challenges? And what keeps you motivated? How
you stay motivated? You don't even for nobody else.

Speaker 8 (11:43):
The question often arises who motivates the motivator? And all
I can tell you, man, is I have a track
record of proving success in the face of all adversity
and failures. I have a proven track record, and I
have to go back to that often when I'm going

(12:05):
through something like right now, I'm gona give you an example.
I'm going through something, man, and if the average person
was going through this, it.

Speaker 2 (12:14):
Be a real situation.

Speaker 8 (12:16):
But because I have a track record of times that
he's bought me through in the past, I oftentimes, as
a motivator myself, have to go back and review the
track record and realize there's a couple of things that
come into play. We've all heard this. I don't believe
he bought me this far.

Speaker 2 (12:36):
To leave me.

Speaker 8 (12:37):
That's a true statement, man, because he's shown it to
me time and time again. So right there, I just
don't believe God bought me this far to leave me.
It may look cloudy, it may look dark, it might
even look like it ain't gonna happen, and it might
not happen the way.

Speaker 2 (12:54):
I want it.

Speaker 8 (12:55):
But whatever he got in mind so far has been
pretty good. And I'm just gonna wait, trust in his
timing and go on to get through it.

Speaker 3 (13:05):
Now.

Speaker 2 (13:05):
Is it uncomfortable? Yes, it is.

Speaker 8 (13:10):
The Stanzas says, Yay, though I walk through the valley
and the shadow of death, I will fear no, eth,
That don't mean you ain't scared. It's just you gonna
face the field. All right, I'm gonna walk through the
fire and not be burned. You ain't saying one I'm
gonna get hot in now. It just said you ain't

(13:32):
gonna get burned. It's gonna get hot though.

Speaker 12 (13:36):
Two minutes after the hour, we'll hear from a nephew
as he runs that brank back.

Speaker 1 (13:41):

We're gonna run it back Scherty. We're going were going
to the cemetery. Now, what you do when you get
in the cemetery and Charley, you go down there, you
get you this big old tree and you make it left.
You make a left right there, and then you go
down to mister Williams Barry and when you see that,
tearing right up the side of that and make it
right and then go down about five six bodies.

Speaker 2 (14:52):
What did you do with tom? The problem is you
gave the wrong directions to my sister's grave.

Speaker 1 (14:59):
Okay, I know what mister Williams.

Speaker 2 (15:01):
Great is if I don't know exactly. You got to
go to that tree. When you get to that tree,
you making the left. I got it.

Speaker 13 (15:08):
Okay, you're gonna see that big oak tree. Everybody, everybody
don't get to be under the big oak tree. Okay,
since some people out there in the daylight, our way
out there in the heat. But when you get to
the oak tree, hear and left.

Speaker 3 (15:19):
Go out.

Speaker 13 (15:20):
Now, when you get to the next curve, make it
right now. You got to start counting the plots. Okay,
that means one plot, two plot, going by six something,
no matter of fact. Stop at the sixth spot and
speak to miss Georgia. Okay, you got to do that.
Everybody always pay their respect, George. Now keep going, keep going.
We're trying to get to my sister plots to.

Speaker 2 (15:46):
It's too much. Now you will see.

Speaker 13 (15:50):
Miss Darrs and mister Daniel they right there together. They
had else together. They was fortunate. Okay, but now my
sister it really ain't no uh, it ain't no plot.
It's just a flat thing on that. We ain't have
a whole lot of money for that anyway, Heredo, you
gave wrong directions to my sister's plot.

white man's body.

Speaker 9 (18:06):
That what right?

Speaker 16 (18:07):
Hello, I'm listening to you. You don't have an apology
or nothing, because I know I didn't tell your granddaughter
where a faith was.

Speaker 9 (18:15):
Then what did you tell him?

Speaker 16 (18:16):
I don't even know who your granddaughter is.

Speaker 9 (18:18):
What you mean the Stamens family.

Speaker 14 (18:21):

that's Demons, Demons.

Speaker 16 (18:26):
I don't know a Simon's family. That's what I'm telling you.
I'm not a counselor. I don't even deal with family.

Speaker 9 (18:32):
Here's what I need you to do. Can you go
out there and pray over myself about it?

Speaker 16 (18:37):
I don't know where your sister is.

Speaker 14 (18:38):
Very it's supposed to have been six faiths away from
the mother limb.

Speaker 16 (18:43):
I don't are there any faces, yet, where is it?
Where is it at section two?

Speaker 9 (18:49):
We was in section two, but there was some white man.

Speaker 2 (18:52):
We wasn't that.

Speaker 9 (18:52):
That wasn't my suter fence.

Speaker 16 (18:55):
Okay, I don't even know who your sister Francis is.
I do not even know where section two is. Whoever
came into the cemetery and said that they spoke to me.
They probably did speak to me, and I probably got
the information from a counselor, but I never told them
exactly where the spot was. So if they were out
there praying over your sister and they were in the

(19:17):
wrong spot, that's not my problem. Pray some white man,
that's not my problem, sir, if the wrong spot.

Speaker 9 (19:25):
If you gave the wrong information, that is.

Speaker 16 (19:29):
I don't give the wrong information. Tell them yet, she's
in section two. I did not physically go out there
and point to the spot to tell them to pray
over that spot.

Speaker 9 (19:37):
Let me explain what I'm trying to stop from happening.

Speaker 14 (19:41):
If my people come out there, there's gonna be some
mobody getting married, and I don't want nobody to get hurt.

Speaker 16 (19:46):
I mean, your family can come up here. It's not
gonna be no more body being buried that what they
can do is come up here right and we can
conversate about this. But it's not going to be an
ug world here.

Speaker 9 (19:56):
I want you to go out there and you pray
over friends of I'm not.

Speaker 16 (20:00):
Going out to pray over nobody's body. It's not your
family member. I didn't tell them the wrong information. Do
you love the Lord I dearly do?

Speaker 9 (20:12):
Then you ought to have some sympathy. I want you
to bow your head right now.

Speaker 16 (20:17):
No, I'm going to end this conversation because for the
work to do now, they won't come.

Speaker 8 (20:23):
In and talk to me.

of the hour. Yeah, but right it's happening. It's happening.
But right now it is time to ask the CLO
our chief love Officer Steve Harvey in the building. This
is from Chevon Clo Chavn in Indianapolis. Chavon writes, my

(22:35):
husband coaches an AAU softball team. He has a whistle
that hangs from the rear view mirror in his car.
The whistle had lipstick on it, and he claims it
was chapstick. Why did he lie right away when it's
obviously a woman's lipstick.

Speaker 8 (22:52):
Listen to me, chapstick come in, cherry flavor. M hm,
they got that out now, cherry flavor, chapstick protect him? Stick,
thank you?

Speaker 2 (23:02):
That's what That's what I'm just saying. That is Is
that not true?

Speaker 8 (23:07):
Is chapstick come cherry play? The problem he got is chapstick.
Don't go on red.

Speaker 2 (23:16):
Yeah, that's the problem he got. And seeings how she
uses lipstick. She know that it's lipstick.

Speaker 8 (23:26):
Now, why did he lie right away? What in him
would make him say that's lipstick and she knows she
ain't put it on there. Well, now, the reason it's
got lipstick on it is cause I had it around
my neck and I was coaching and one of the parents,

(23:47):
this lady come up here and saying you just letting
them do what they want to do to my son.

Speaker 2 (23:51):
You don't know how to work this? What this how
to whistle work? And then blew it and I took
it off because I ain't want to put my mouth
on it right there because it had something on it.
And I would go take this to the house and
bought it.

Speaker 17 (24:04):
M Okay, So that's a better lie in your opinion, that's.

law texts me often to ask about commercial properties, because

Speaker 2 (30:01):
Wow, thank you Jesus. I just said thank you Jesus.
By keep saying the notes every morning.

Speaker 12 (30:13):
Spot coming up at the top of the hour, We'll
have some entertainment news for you right after this.

Speaker 1 (30:21):
You're listening Steve Harvey Morning Show.

Speaker 12 (30:26):
Well Snoop Dogg had previously been a vocal critic of Trump,
but appeared to switch sides and said he had quote
nothing but love and respect for Trump after his pardoning
of Michael Harry o'harris, the founder of Death Row Records
who was in prison for drug offenses. In the wake
of the controversy of his performance at Trump's Crypto Ball,
Snoop shared a video to Instagram in which he was

(30:47):
seen smoking and enjoying ain't no need to worry by
the Whinings and Stairway to Heaven by the ojays. Snoop said, quote,
y'all can can't hate enough. I love too much, he said,
get your life right, stop worrying about mine. I'm cool,
I'm together, Still a black man, still one hundred percent black,
all out till you ball out or till you fall out.

Speaker 1 (31:10):
He added, I ain't going nowhere. I'm right here.

Speaker 2 (31:14):
I got that. But you did flip the script dog.

Speaker 8 (31:17):
You did that.

Speaker 17 (31:19):
You flipped what he said in twenty seventeen.

Speaker 13 (31:21):
You said back then what you did. I guess everybody
would just want to know why what happened?

Speaker 1 (31:26):
You flip script change?

Speaker 2 (31:28):
People Bill love you, but you flipped script dog. You did.
I was watching any explanation and you know, I mean, yeah,
I saw the video.

Speaker 8 (31:40):
I excuse me for sounding, you know, a square or whatever,
but you can't be smoking weed. Why you explaining what
you did to me? Because I thought what you did
was cause you had smoked some weed. That what you're
just showing me that weed smoking makes you very unreasonable.

(32:02):
That's that's my takeaway with you, that's your takeaway. Yeah,
weed smoking made you go down there to the crypto ball.
Weed smoking made you forget what you said in twenty seventeen.
And then we smoking had you making this analogy. I
love Snoop. I'm gonna keep on loving you too. Yeah,
I do too, man, Yeah, because Snoop is a good dude.

(32:23):
But good dudes, good dudes make mistakes. Yeah, yeah, they do, man,
they make mistakes. That was a little bit of a mistake, now,
you know, if he said, hey, man, look he let
Harry go out, I felt like I owed him, yeah,
you know, because I had asked him what he pardoned
and he did that.

Speaker 2 (32:41):
So I did this that right there. I walked down
the road with you. I walked down the road with you.
And you know, to explain that because he owes us that, right,
he don't. He don't owe us that. He really don't.

Speaker 8 (33:00):
But you know this social media, man, social media got
everybody and everybody business that don't even belong now.

Speaker 2 (33:06):
But you know, like he said, I'm gonna just keep
on loving you.

Speaker 8 (33:08):
And you know the only way that he'll hate us
would love And I'm still a black man and which
is true.

Speaker 2 (33:14):
He's still a black man. Yeah, you know.

Speaker 3 (33:17):
Ye.

Speaker 8 (33:18):
Now at one point in time today, though, I have

Speaker 1 (37:42):
Our hearts are broken.

Speaker 12 (37:44):
There are almost no words such sad news for the
families of the victims of the American Airlines flight fifty
three forty two last night in Washington. In case you
haven't heard, in Washington, DC, a mid air collision near
Ronald Reagan Nationally Airport forced the closure of all flights
until late this morning. An American Airlines flight from Wichita,

(38:08):
Kansas was on approach to the airport when it collided
with an Army Blackhawk helicopter. The Defense Department said three
soldiers were aboard. American Airlines stated a crew of four
with sixty passengers were on flight fifty three forty two.
The US Figure Skatings Communications director said several athletes, coaches,

(38:29):
and family members were aboard.

Speaker 1 (38:31):
The debris field spread across the it was cold.

Speaker 12 (38:37):
The Potomac River first responders and dive teams are still
in active search and rescue effort. Now, yeah, this is
just so sad. It really really is. Overnight several bodies
were pulled from the river. A large debt toll is expected.
The White House quickly released a statement saying, thank you

(38:58):
for the incredible work being done our first responders. Defense
Secretary Knew. Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth confirmed that his department
and the Army have launched that investigation, and of course,
our deepest, deepest condolences go out to the families.

Speaker 17 (39:15):
There is a vigil later to be held in Wichita today.

Speaker 2 (39:19):
This plane was almost landing.

Speaker 1 (39:20):
It was almost yeah, yeah.

Speaker 3 (39:23):
Yeah, the plane.

Speaker 1 (39:25):
It's just really really sad because you know, this just
happened last night.

Speaker 18 (39:28):
So there are just multiple reports and speculations, and according
to ABC News, the air traffic controller warned the helicopter.
Have you spotted the CRJ is what they call the
particular aircraft.

Speaker 2 (39:43):
Why is the helicopter there? I don't know.

Speaker 3 (39:46):
Training.

Speaker 8 (39:46):
Look, of course, our condolences go out to everybody lost,
and you know we can thank the first responders. I'm
not even sure at the rate they're talking that this
is a life saving mission anymore as more as opposed
to a recovery mission. So but with that being said,
you better believe that are going to be a lot

(40:08):
of questions asked because of all the things I've seen,
air traffic control did their job. That's the way I'm
from all reports. I'm hearing aircraft air traffic control did
their job, but there's a lot of holes in the
communication between them and the helicopter pilot. That's really sad.

Speaker 18 (40:30):
Yeah, it's really necessari they're investigating. You got people on
social media with all kinds of theories, and then people
that used to be pilots and they're saying too, that's
the air traffic controllers are not experienced like they.

Speaker 1 (40:43):
Used to be.

Speaker 18 (40:43):
There needs to be constant communication, so they're saying it could.
It's just like you said, a thorough investigation needs to
happen to see why this fatal crash.

Speaker 12 (40:55):
And again, our condolence is going out to everyone involved.
All right, we'll have more of the Steve Harvey Morning
Show right after this. You're listening Steve Harvey Morning Show. Okay, guys,

Speaker 8 (43:46):
If if my neighbors were standing at the fence, it'll
be the first time I seen them.

Speaker 1 (43:54):
I thought you had some issues with your female neighbor something.

steep hill. And her husband, her and her husband was
going down the hill one time, and her husband fell
so he couldn't help her get back up the hill.

Speaker 2 (44:31):
So he got up the hill, and they had a
rope that they had tied to some trees.

Speaker 8 (44:35):
That would help their old ass get back up, and
she couldn't make it up even with the rope.

Speaker 2 (44:40):
I went over there and helped her. I should have
left her ass.

Speaker 1 (44:42):

Speaker 12 (56:26):
Thank you, nephew. Subject Do I need to choose the
sure thing? Dear Stephen Shirley. I'm thirty years old and
pregnant with my first child. The father of my child
cheated on me, so I broke up with him five
days before I found out that I was pregnant. I
was so angry with him that I didn't even tell
him I was pregnant until last month. I've been dating

(56:47):
a man that's thirty seven and he has a daughter
from a previous relationship. I told him that I'm pregnant
the first day we met, and he said he loves
kids and he hopes it's a boy because he wants
a boy. He's but everything my child needs, from the
crib to all of the diapers, and we've only been
dating four months. He was the one that encouraged me

(57:08):
to call the father of my child and tell him
that I'm pregnant. He drove me to my ex's job
and sat in the car. When my ex saw my
little belly, he broke down and cried. He apologized over
and over for cheating on me and missing out on
my pregnancy. He was low key mad that I didn't
tell him months ago, but I told him that's on
him for being a cheater. I told him that I

(57:29):
have a boyfriend and my boyfriend is prepared to be
the daddy. That's when he tends up and told me
that my boyfriend won't be raising our baby. Then he
begged me to take him back and marry him before
the baby is born. I told him that wasn't going
to happen, and I left. He's been blowing up my
phone since I unblocked him. My boyfriend is getting annoyed

(57:50):
with my exes calls, so he told me to decide
what I want to do. He said he will understand
if I want to be with my ex, but I'd
lose him and he really cares about me. Do I
stay with my boyfriend or should I give my ex
another chance? Of course, only you. Yeah, I can answer that,
of course. But here's some questions you might want to

(58:13):
ask yourself. Why would you want to go back to
a cheater. This man cheated on you. If you give
him another chance, who's to say he won't cheat on
you again?

Speaker 3 (58:22):
Can he change?

Speaker 17 (58:23):
Sure, people change all the time, but have you seen
any changes in him?

Speaker 1 (58:27):
Because you didn't mention it in this letter.

Speaker 12 (58:30):
Meanwhile, this new guy is stepping up in every way possible.
Every way possible. He's even prepared to be a dad
to your unborn child. I mean, that's big for any
man to do for a baby that's not his biologically.

Speaker 2 (58:43):
That is big.

Speaker 12 (58:45):
As a matter of fact, he's the one who encourage
you to tell your ex about the baby. I mean,
that's another man move. I agree he had a right
to know the baby. The father of your child and
so you should have told him. I do agree with that,
But so now what Now he wants to rush and
marry you. Did you go with the man who cheated?

(59:09):
These are your questions. Do you go with the man
who cheated and is now trying to get back with
you or the one who stepped up for you and
your unborn child in every way since day one, and
who's willing to help you raise a child?

Speaker 1 (59:20):
Those are your questions. I get it.

Speaker 12 (59:22):
I say, bet on the sure thing, the man who
has shown you who he is. That man, the biological dad,
can co parent with you. He can get court assigned
visitation and pay child support based on his income.

Speaker 17 (59:35):
That's my answer to you. Go with the sure thing, Steve.

Speaker 8 (59:38):
This letter really is a little challenging. This letter is deep, man,
this is crazy. I mean, if you look at this man,
this letter got some twisting angles. And I wasn't really
ready for this. You're thirty years old, pregnant with your
first child. Father, your child cheated on me. So I
broke up with him five days before I found out

(01:00:01):
I was pregnant, But I was so angry with him
that I didn't even tell him I was pregnant until
last month.

Speaker 2 (01:00:07):
Okay, Now, you wrong for that.

Speaker 10 (01:00:10):
You wrong for that.

Speaker 8 (01:00:11):
And the only reason you told him you was pregnant
last month at a month ago was because we'll find out, lady,
in that letter, that this man told you to tell me.
I've been dating a man. He's thirty seven, he's got
a daughter. I told him I'm pregnant the first day
we met. He said he loves kids and he hopes
it's a boy because he wants a boy. Wow, this

(01:00:33):
dude's special, Lady, this dude's special. He bought everything my.

Speaker 2 (01:00:38):
Child needs from the crib, all the diapers. We only
been dating for months.

Speaker 8 (01:00:44):
He was the one that encouraged me to call the
father of my child and tell him that I'm pregnant
because he a man's man.

Speaker 2 (01:00:51):
You know what I mean.

Speaker 8 (01:00:52):
That's the right thing you should have done. He drove
me to my ex's job and set in the car.
When my ex saw my little belly, broke down and cried. Okay,
he regretted what he did. He apologized over and over
for cheating on me and missing out on my pregnancy. Now,
what I'm asking is when she said she saw his

(01:01:14):
little belly, she had had the baby.

Speaker 17 (01:01:16):
Already no, no, no, he saw like her pooch.

Speaker 2 (01:01:19):
You know she was okay, I thought, okay. He broke
down it.

Speaker 8 (01:01:25):
He apologized over and over and for missing out on
my pregnancy. That's what made me think, did.

Speaker 2 (01:01:30):
She have it already? That's what made me wonder that. Yeah.

Speaker 8 (01:01:37):
Anyway, he was low key mad that I didn't tell
him months ago. But I told him that's on him
for being a cheater. That's not the penalty for cheating. Lady,
you should have had another punishment. You broke up with him,
but keeping the fact that this is his baby away
from him dad was not cool at all at all.

(01:01:58):
You didn't have it right there. I told him I
have a boyfriend, and my boyfriend is prepared to be
the daddy. That's when he tests up and told me,
my boyfriend won't be raising our baby.

Speaker 2 (01:02:08):
Well, uh, that ain't how.

Speaker 8 (01:02:11):
That work, though, That ain't how that work. I don't
want to tell you that, but you know that you
can't make that decision. Then he begged me to take
him back and marry him.

Speaker 2 (01:02:25):
Oh I see now.

Speaker 8 (01:02:26):
Then he begged me to take him back and marry
him before the baby is born. Lord, have mercy A
shotgun wedding without the shotgun.

Speaker 12 (01:02:37):
All the mighty Hang on, Steve, we'll have part two
of your response coming up at twenty three minutes after
the hour. Today's strawberry letter subject, do I need to
choose the sure thing? We'll get back into it right
after this.

Speaker 12 (01:03:24):
All right, come on, Steve, let's recap today's strawberry letter.
Like you said, very deep, the subject is do I
need to choose the sure thing?

Speaker 8 (01:03:33):
This is hard when this is thirty year old lady
that got pregnant, and before she found out she was pregnant,
her boyfriend who was the father of the baby, cheated
on her. She didn't find out until after she broke
up with him five days later that she pregnant, so
she ghosted it.

Speaker 5 (01:03:47):
And then.

Speaker 8 (01:03:49):
She met a man that's thirty seven, and she's dating
a man who's thirty seven who has a daughter from
a previous relationship. She told him the first day I'm
pregnant the first day we met, and he said he
loves kids and he hopes it's a boy because he
wants a boy.

Speaker 2 (01:04:06):
Wow.

Speaker 8 (01:04:07):
Okay, he bought everything my child needs, crib dippers, everything.
We only been dating four months. This is a heck
of a guy right here. He then he encouraged you
to call the father of your child and tell him
that I'm pregnant because he already know there's gonna be
some drama with this. Let's get this out the way now.
He drove you to your ex's job and waited in

(01:04:29):
the car. When you exaw your little belly, he broke
down and cried. He apologized for cheating on you and
for missing out on your pregnancy. Then he was mad
because you didn't tell him months before, but I told
him that's on him for being a cheater.

Speaker 2 (01:04:46):
Well as not.

Speaker 8 (01:04:47):
You should have still told him it because being a
father has nothing to do with him cheating. He's still
the father of the baby. And you know he's the
father of the baby. I told him that I have
boyfriend and my boyfriend is prepared to beat the dad.
That's when he tensed up. Told me my boyfriend won't
be raising our baby. Then he begged me to take

(01:05:08):
him back and marry him before the baby is born.

Speaker 2 (01:05:13):
Now this is where we left off at.

Speaker 8 (01:05:15):
And I said, a shotgun with without this shotgun, that's
some old school stuff. You got her pregnant, you're gonna
marry her. Now he wants to marry you before the
baby is born. That would give the baby his name,
that would make him responsible.

Speaker 2 (01:05:33):
Blah blah blah, blah blah blah.

Speaker 8 (01:05:36):
Then he begged me to take him back and mary
before the baby's going I told him that wasn't gonna
happen and I left. He been blowing my phone up
since I unblocked him. My boyfriend is getting annoyed with
my exes called. So he told me, you decide what
you want to do. He said he would understand if
I wanted to be with my ex but I would

(01:05:58):
lose him. And he really is about me, he does,
and he's done nothing but prove that do I stay
with my boyfriend.

Speaker 2 (01:06:08):
Or should I.

Speaker 8 (01:06:09):
Give my ex another chance? Well, we need to ask
a very important question. What about your ex is different?
That's the starting question. What's different other than the fact
that he has the news that he's about to be
a father? What about him is different? What's his views

(01:06:30):
on cheating? Who is he seeing right now? Because lady,
he can't just up and ask you to marry? Who
is he seeing right now? Cause ain't no man, he
ain't doing nothing. You need some background on this man.
What is he doing right now? Who is he seeing?
How much time is he spending with her? What's the
relationship like to see that? This is happening so fast?

(01:06:55):
You need some information. I don't know if you should
leave this guy for your ex not. X is making
a pretty big offer. Let's get married right now. Let's
get married before the baby born. I hate this is happening.
He could be fixed itself up now. Maybe this could
be the thing that clicks the switch for him. But

(01:07:16):
your boardfriend switch is already clicked now. He said he
really cares about me. But is he in love with you?
Because you're gonna need that to survive in marriage. But
has he told you he's in love with you. That's
what you need to find out.

Speaker 9 (01:07:35):
Is he in love with you?

Speaker 2 (01:07:37):
Can he not live without you?

Speaker 8 (01:07:38):
Because he said, understand if I want to be with
my ex, he'll understand. That's the father of your child.
Maybe that's you will see a better mute. But you're
gonna lose me. And I really care about you, but
I'm gonna be gone now. You can keep the crib
and the diaples all that that.

Speaker 2 (01:07:56):
I'm out, So I.

Speaker 8 (01:08:01):
Don't I can't answer that question for you because I
don't know either guy except what you put in this letter.

Speaker 2 (01:08:08):
And according to Shirley, one.

Speaker 8 (01:08:10):
Guy is a cheater and the other guy stepped up
and filled out the all the criteria and that's all
we know. Your first guy is the cheatah, which is
why you stop seeing it. Now he saw you pregnant,
Now he want to marry you. You go from I'm
a cheatah till we broke up to I ain't said

(01:08:31):
nothing to you till I saw.

Speaker 2 (01:08:33):
You now I want to marry you. A lot of
information missing in essence.

Speaker 8 (01:08:38):
I think what you need to do is put everything
on pause, pray about it, get yourself some clarity Shirley said,
it looks like this new guy is a safer and
better beat. I must admit she's right. I must admit that,
and I very rarely say that that is so not

(01:09:01):
true because standon letter wouldn't be good if we just
agreed on every day everything. What the hell are you
listening for? But she may be one hundred percent correct
in this right here. I don't see the upside to
going back to the X.

Speaker 2 (01:09:17):
I don't see it. Oh, then he's going to marry you? Now?

Speaker 1 (01:09:20):
Yeah?

Speaker 17 (01:09:21):
If he changed, how has he changed? She never gave
us any examples of that.

and complained and didn't play, looking for a new contract,
set out a whole year. They don't pay you for
sitting out. They don't reward you because your body. Now,
I ain't taking a season worth a beating if you

look at everybody that does this, and Jimmy Butler should
have played because this is his opt out season should

way and he can play his butt off.

That used to be you, sir.

Speaker 12 (01:13:34):
You're listening to the Steve Harvey Morning Show. This is
from Bailey on Steve Harvey FM. Bailey says, I have
one coworker who thinks she is a singing star and
is constantly singing around the office. I have to remind
her several times a day to keep it down so
I can concentrate or take client calls. But she doesn't
seem to be getting the message. To add to the annoyance,

(01:13:55):
she really can't sing. She walks around singing Whitney, Houston,
Many Ripperton, Jil Scott and shot A songs. I don't
want to get management involved if I can help it,
but she just won't take a hint and stop it already.
How can I handle this without getting our boss involved?

Speaker 2 (01:14:12):
Stopped with the hints, Just say it?

Speaker 1 (01:14:17):
What should she say?

Speaker 2 (01:14:18):

Speaker 8 (01:14:42):
You ain't you flat? You ain't on key? Stop with
these hints. We had to do it to Shirley, and
it worked and she don't.

Speaker 1 (01:14:53):
Sing no more. Eventually, eventually it works.

Speaker 8 (01:14:56):
Because you know, after a while, you know, Shirley k
takes a lot of criticism.

Speaker 2 (01:15:01):
But Shirley was singing Whitney too.

Speaker 1 (01:15:03):
Just going to the top of the food chain, Whitney.

Speaker 12 (01:15:08):

Speaker 12 (01:15:48):
So how should she handle it? She doesn't want to
get her boss involved. Just tell her you said, I
don't told you? Yeah, all right, Gwen, Gwenn, let me
talk to you now. You walk around the office and
you sing a lot and a lie. Do people feel
that you can't sing? And I'm one of them, And
I don't want you to get your feelings hurt by
these other people. But they talk about you behind your back.
You're not a good singer.

I always thought that dating was supposed to be a
two way thing, But it seems as if the girl
I've been seeing for a couple of months doesn't see
it that way. When we first started dating, I was
happy to pay for dinner, shows and the like. Now However,
it's become clear that it's expected. She'll even asked me
if I want to go grocery shopping with her, and
when it comes time to check out, she'll stare at

(01:17:45):
me as if to say, well, what are you waiting
for it? Lately she's been talking about how great a
trip someplace in the Caribbean would be, and all I
can think is, yeah, for you.

the day on this Thursday. And boy, oh boy, one
week one week with the new president.

Speaker 8 (01:24:51):
You know something, These are my clothes remarks. It's about
something I looked up online under the US Department of
Labor because I was curious as to who benefits from DEI,
because you know, it's I couldn't believe that d I
was just for black people. So I looked up in

(01:25:14):
the Department of the US Department of Labor, and in
the order of participation, in the order of significance, the
number one recipient of DI the number one benefactor of

(01:25:37):
DEI or white women. White women benefit disproportionately more than
anybody else because you got to remember what dei's diversity,
equity and equity and inclusion, which was a big deal
for women too. Now who benefited the most was because

(01:26:02):
you could if you hire a white woman, you get
to have a white and a woman, but you check
off the DEI block. The number two recipient is the
Hispanic and Latino population.

Speaker 2 (01:26:21):
This is in order of relevance within the DEI department.

Speaker 8 (01:26:27):
Next on the list was Asian Americans, and after that
the most participated person was Native Americans. After that was
people with disabilities. So now when you get rid of DEI, y'all,
you're getting rid of things that helped people with disabilities. Also,

(01:26:50):
the next benefactor after that was veterans. DEI veterans because
veterans fall under all the color rackets, veterans fall under women,
and veterans fall under disability. To that getting rid of
they're getting rid of that. People who served our country

(01:27:12):
are gonna lose their benefits. The next most benefited group
I can't read. I don't know the initials. I'm not
trying to be but the l LBG T whatever however
you said. I'm not trying to be funny. It just
lb LGB Okay that that community plus Okay that that

(01:27:36):
that's over with. Y'all can get out line too, So Asians, Veterans, Hispanics, Latinos,
you get out of line.

Speaker 2 (01:27:46):
They ain't finn to do it no more.

Speaker 8 (01:27:48):
And then the most least beneficial for DEI programs, Black
Americans Americans was last on the list. Now what's hurting
us are these other things? Civil rights, Affirmative action been gone.

(01:28:09):
They're removing black history from schools. This is directed directly
at us. That's directly at us. And I got news
for you. This thing that Lyndon Braine Johnson passed. This
bigger than DEI.

Speaker 2 (01:28:25):
That's taking away black people's basic civil rights.

Speaker 8 (01:28:32):
Say all this will make America great again. I just
want y'all to see what they're doing. They getting it
back when we didn't have civil rights. The basic right
of the Constitution is the pursuit of happiness. That's in
the Constitution. Well, Lyndon Braine Johnson said, well, that's not
what we've given black people. We're gonna give it to
them in nineteen sixty four.

Speaker 2 (01:28:53):
That's out.

Speaker 3 (01:28:56):
Man.

Speaker 8 (01:28:56):
Y'all ain't been paying attention. Then they show them picking
up that latino that had on a latino for Trump's
T shirt. Ice had picked him up. See all, y'all,
that was for Trump. Now you gotta ask yourself.

Speaker 2 (01:29:10):
Is Trump for you regular white people? I have news
for you, man. You finish suffer.

Speaker 8 (01:29:18):
Cause of eggs. I don't know if you looking. Eggs

stuff that's going up though. Prices is up. All those
prices is up. Okay, so you want, but you want
to buy some eggs, but you can't buy no car now,

Speaker 8 (01:29:45):
This dude came in here, man with broad sweeping he
pardoned all of those people, not some of them, all
of them.

Speaker 10 (01:29:55):
What.

Speaker 8 (01:29:56):
No, we're gonna look at individual cases. No, you beat cop,
you shot a cop, you can go too. The head
of the oathkeepers was at the Trump uh in Washington.
He was there, one of the oath keeper the president.

(01:30:16):
He got twenty some years because what he done was
so vile. They gave him twenty years.

Speaker 3 (01:30:24):
He out. He out.

Speaker 8 (01:30:28):
Then some dude just got shot and killed by a
police officer who was released.

Speaker 2 (01:30:34):
From the January sixth, but he had a gun. I
was stunned. I gotta just tell you. I was.

Speaker 5 (01:30:41):
No.

Speaker 8 (01:30:41):
I'm not happy for anybody getting killed. Don't get me wrong.
I was stunned that a white man was killed by
a police officer. I was stunned. I was stunned. So
