Episode Transcript

Speaker 1 (00:00):
Today's show is pre recorded. Y'all know what time y'all
don't know y'all looking back to back down, giving them
like the milling bu bu things and it's not true.

(00:20):
Good Steve to the mother star, don't join Jo. You

(00:59):
gotta use that turn. You got a turn to turn

(01:41):
them out. Turn got to turn out to turn turn
the water the water. Come come on your thing. H huh,

(02:02):
I sure will. Good morning everybody. You're listening to the voice.
But come on dig me now, one and only Steve
Harvey got a radio show. Well, I gotta tell you something, everybody,
And this is great news for everybody that I'm or
share something with your principle of becoming successful at whatever

(02:26):
level you choose. It can be successful in the relationship,
successful in the family. Successes may be considered to you
becoming a homeowner. It could be being dead free. Your
ideal success could be sixty thousand a year, fifty thousand
a year, one hundred thousand dollars a year, doesn't matter

(02:49):
if you're considering it, if you're wanting it, if you
have a desire to become successful. I want to share
with you the very beginning of that. If no one's
ever done it. I'm going to say the beginning of
it today. See scripture makes it very clear for us

(03:11):
you don't The only thing you need to become successful
is already inside of you. It's not an external need.
God wouldn't do that to you. He puts the core
basis of everything you need inside of you. So if
you discover it, if you tend to it, nurture it,

(03:35):
fertilize it, and water it, it grows, it branches out.
Then it reaches out externally and it starts grabbing things
outside of there to make it even bigger, stronger, better,
last longer. But in the very beginning, you don't need anything.
It's all within you. And if you cultivate your relationship

(03:56):
with God, it comes out, it flourishes. Now, let me
tell you that thing that I'm talking about is a
God given gift that He has given to all of us.
We all possess it. It is all within us, and
everybody has a gift. Had somebody told me what I

(04:16):
know now back then, I would have saved myself tons
of mistakes. I just didn't know the principles. I had
to learn them all well. One of the principles of
becoming successful is your mind set. You got to get
your mind right now. This mindset is simply a decision
that you can make. I can't get it for you.

(04:39):
I can tell you what to do, but you got
to make the decision. You that's listening, have to decide.
You know what, I'm gonna go on and get at it.
I'm gonna stop writing. I'm gonna become a homeowner. You
know what I'm gonna do. I'm gonna stop living check
to check. I'm I'm gonna put a budget together. I'm
gonna stop stepping out on my family. I'm gonna go home.

(05:01):
I'm gonna get it together. I'm gonna stop using you
when you make these decisions. That's correcting your mindset. Now.
The closer connection you have with God, the more help
you get sustaining the mindset. How many times have you
started to do something and you stopped? How many resolutions
have you made at the New Year and stop by February?

(05:23):
Over with by me at January? Done in March. Because
if you don't have a clear connection with your creator
to help you carry out the other force out there,
that evil force is designed to get you not to
reach your goals, get you not to come to resolution
with whatever the resolutions are you made, so he can

(05:45):
cons You can consider yourself not worthy or failure or
unable to do something. But the more things you are
able to accomplish, the greater your confidence goals grows. So
we got to get your mind set together. Your mindset
is a decision that you have to make. When you
make the decision, you can begin the process. Your mindset

(06:05):
is also a will of yours, a will along with
the decision, a will, a willingness to do right, a
willingness to change, a willingness to be better. It's going
to then cause you to have to make a decision
to make a change of direction. Don't go where everybody

(06:27):
else going. You got to go your way now. You
can't follow the crowd. You got to take a less
travel path. You cannot do this without changing your direction.
You can't keep hanging with the people you've been hanging
with if you want to be different because they're not.
Then you have to develop an obligation to yourself. You've

(06:49):
got to say, you know what for me and my family,
or if you don't have a family for me, I
owe it to myself. I have an obligation to myself
to be the best meeting I can possibly be, to
be the best self that I can possibly be, to
be the best father, the best man, the best husband,

(07:10):
the best wife, the best mother, the best daughter, the
best son, the best student, the best employ ye, the
best owner. You have an obligation to yourself to give
yourself a shot at the best life you can. That's
an obligation. You owe that to yourself. Why would you
not live the best life that you possibly could. You

(07:32):
have an obligation to yourself. Why would you teat yourself
like that? Why would you take yourself and never allow
yourself to see the goodness that's already in you, to
have the abundance that's been promised to you, to go
and explore all the riches out there that's available to you.

(07:55):
And but one of the worst ways that you can
rob yourself off of the joy of your obligation is
to keep comparing yourself to somebody else. Because guess what, Man,
that ain't your life. You ain't jay Z and Beyonce,
you're not You're not open Instead, man, that's not who
you are. Quit looking around at everybody else. That comparison

(08:19):
of everybody else to keep you broken, it to keep
you unhappy. You won't even be able to be grateful
for what you have because you steady talking about what
you don't have. That's not the way, man. You have
an obligation to yourself to be the best you you
can be, not the best them. You're not them. Stop
trying to be them. Be the best you. It's cool.

(08:40):
You got a nice little house. That's cool. You know
how many big houses is empty and feel with hate
and resentment. I'd rather have a smaller house feel with
joy in it than to go to a big house.
Man Prince got a line in a song that says,
I realized in its best disguise, or pretty house don't

(09:01):
make a home. Man. Don't you know I know how
true that is? So I'm just trying to tell you now.
Another part of the mindset is taking dead aim at
your life's goals and ambitions. What are they? What are
your goals and your visions? What do you see for yourself?

(09:24):
What do you dream about? If you knew you couldn't
fail at whatever it is you were attempting, what would
you go attempting? See? That's what we need to be
after It's a mindset, y'all. It's a decision. It's a will,
it's a change of direction. It's an obligation to yourself.
It's taking dead aim at your life's visions and goals.

(09:45):
Come on, man, you got to get your mind wrapped
around this thing. You owe it to yourself to live
the best life you can be. Come on, man, talk
to God. God got something for you. You just gotta
check in with him. You're listening tow ladies and gentlemen,
boys and girls, monkey trainers, pet walkers, fish keepers, hunters,

(10:14):
trapeze artists, strippers, taxi drivers. That's mad at uber drivers,
uber drivers that wanted to be taxi drivers, sears, delivery
truck people, Walmart employees, and anybody that's trying to get

(10:37):
a vaccine. This show is dedicated to you, Steve Harvey,
Morny show Yo for the lonely, the disenfranchise, people who
are looking for hope, people that know that tomorrow will

up in thirty minutes after the hour, asked the CEO this,
you're listening to the Steven Show. Time now for ask

(13:48):
the CLO. Let's go, Chief Love Officer Steve Harvey. This
one is from Mario in Camden, New Jersey. Mario says,
I'm a six two brother and I'm a bit overweight,
but I've been trying to eat better and work out.
To Mario, I met a female on a dating site
and she's five seven and curvy, so I was comfortable

(14:10):
enough to tell her how much I weigh. She got
turned off immediately and said I was too big. She
says she doesn't date fat man and told me to
lose her number. Surely she knows that she's overweight too.
I tried to be polite, but she's really pretty. But
should I call her back and hurt her feelings like
she hurt mine? No? No, don't. What's what's that gonna do?

(14:34):
You know you liked her, she didn't like you. That's
that's that's how it worked, the only way of some
matches if y'all like each other. Yeah, you like to
weight on her. She ain't liked to weight on you.
Now you said you're six two and overweight? How much
do you wake up? How much you thank you? Way
to me? All right, that didn't make the letter. I couldn't.
That didn't there. Okay, you're fat ass. She don't like
fat ass, But he says she five seven, a curvy,

(14:59):
but she It's different on women. Women look, women carry,
they wait different. A lot of women look good with
them courage. You know, she got that swag and then
he said she is you know, he never said she
never said you was handsome, you know. So you see, see,
women have a lot of stuff working for them. You know.
If a woman keep ourselves up and dress right and
wear her stuff good, a woman can have some weight

(15:21):
on hu me and be all okay with that. Boy.
You can't take your fat ass out here. Shoes ain't right. Head,
ain't gonna watch on clothes hanging off to watch. No, dude, man,
women look at all that mass right there, and I
can't fix off. You too far from fixing? Go here?
You all right? Ricky? Ricky, and I heard radio listener says,

(15:44):
I'm twenty five. My boyfriend and I have dated since
high school. My parents used to like him, but now
they think I can do better. I'm a licensed lashing
eyebrow tech and I make great money. My boyfriend is
a bartender, but business has been slaughter, so I let
him move in with me temporarily. My mom, my mom,
and dad said that living together is unacceptable, and I'm

(16:07):
I'm dating a boy, not a man. I want to
support this man until he gets back on his feet.
He would be he would do the same for me,
And why can't my parents see this? Well, here's why
your parents are looking at you. Said, you're a lash
and nail lady, and you're doing real well and stuff
in your business. He had just here bartender, and obviously
since y'all been dating, says high school, maybe he ain't

(16:30):
tried to improve himself. That If your parents is looking
at no upward mobility, no promising future for their child,
of course they're gonna buck the system. Now bartend is slow.
Now he'd have moved in with you. I mean, damn
that's so so your response to it's going hard is
I'm gonna go in and move in on this woman,

(16:50):
and your parents see that they're not gonna be okay
with that, and you can't expect them too. He would
do the same for you, really really, Oh but even
if he did it, would you want too? Though? Right?
So's where he staying on the money? He may see?
Would you want to stay there? Would you just going
back to your mama? You see what I'm saying? Spoken

(17:11):
like a true parent. Tu Clo td and Cincinnati says,
I'm forty six and I've been dating a forty four
year old lady for about five months, and we have
had more sex in that short time than I've had
in my life. Yes, he says, I'm worn out and
tired all of the time from the constant intimacy. I've

(17:34):
started making up excuses to keep her from coming over
because it's hard for me to get excited. Now. Is
there such a thing as getting bored with great sex?
I'm thinking of seeing a doctor, but I wanted to
check in with you guys first. See you saying you're
not getting excited anymore? But you say, but then you

(17:55):
want to say it's great sex. It could be great sex,
but you don't have as high threshold for it as
she does. Maybe you're libete, Okay, handle this. Every day
she coming over, you hide and stuff y'all under the bed,
trying to cheat and treat her like she got his
nigget's pagers for sale at the dog five months. He's

(18:18):
had more sex in five months, and in his entire life,
I've never had that happened to going on. I ain't
never had a five month run at the top what
I did in my damn like okay, and I thank
the Lord for that. No, bro, you just saying no,
you ain't up, ain't don't need to go into the doctors.

(18:39):
And you're a moment dude. Yeah, dog, it's libido. Ain't
got nothing for you. Libido in there. Okay, I'm moving on.
Remy and Oxford, Mississippi says I'm thirty one and I
married a woman I dated only eight months. A few
days before Valentine's Day, we decided to get married on
Valentine's to Day at the courthouse. After our wedding, we

(19:01):
went to Hawaii for three days. We did not tell
anyone or big news until we got home. The news
spread quickly, and my ex girlfriend called me crying. We
had an on again, off again relationship, and the last
time we broke up, I moved on for good. She's
so hurt and I feel terrible. Do I owe her
an explanation? What should I do? Hey? Brother, man? What

(19:25):
in this explanation? What you're gonna say? Yeah, dog, don't
don't go ahead of this conversation, because nothing you're gonna
say gonna fix it for this girl. Secondly, you already
I feel so bad. Now you're gonna want to console her.
One thing gonna lead to the next. Yes, and now

Morning Show. There you go, all right, thank you, nephew.
Coming up at the top of the hour, entertainment and

(28:51):
national news right after this you're listening Morning Show. A
New York based attorney has sent letters to officials in
Georgia and in California seeking to open investigations under the
Trafficking Victims Protection Act and Georgia's Rape, Kidnapping and Terroristic
Threat Statues. Reports are out that nearly over thirty women,

(29:15):
survivors and witnesses have accused Ti and Tiny of sexual abuse.
In a statement to The New York Times, a lawyer
for Ti and Tiney said they deny in the strongest
possible terms, these baseless and unjustified allegations. WHOA okay, yeah,
this story, yeah, it keeps having legs. You know that's terrible. Yeah,

(29:42):
just see what the investigation don't know what. Yeah, we
just will stay on the story and let you know
what's going on. Yeah. In other entertainment news, this Sunday,
This coming Sunday, Oprah Winfrey will interview Megan Markle and
Prince Harry. Harry will talk about his mother, Princess Diana.
He told Oprah that he quit the royal family rather

(30:02):
than face the crushing exploitation that killed his mother. He says,
my biggest concern was history repeating itself. Growing interest in
the special convinced CBS to expand the show from ninety
minutes to two hours. According to royal watchers, Queen Elizabeth
stripped Harry of his honorary military titles because he never

(30:23):
asked her permission to be interviewed by Oprah. Now does
he have to ask her now that he's no longer Yeah,
no longer a royal. You ain't sending no check over him,
got no raw security everything. Grandmama, I'm gonna pulled up
the catch and we don't get a ride on the
wagon no more, he got no damns lost him to

(30:47):
do that with the fur hats. You took all that
back that you think I ain't gonna say nothing. Send him.
He ran my mom off the road. Now, y'all asking
him want me to be signed if I ain't beenna
being it? Because that's the only question. I won't ask him?

We certainly appreciate it. Coming up more on show at

(35:38):
twenty minutes after. Right after this, you're listening to the
Steve Harvey Morning Show. In trending news, a courthouse where
Derek Chavin will be tried for murdering George Floyd looks
like the same fortress that's around the US capital right now.
Heavy reinforced to black out the general public. Construction crews
have been hard at work over the past week four

(35:59):
to five downtown Minneapolis with the facto force fields, including
areas where protests and unrest are expected as Chauvin's murder
trial gets underway in the coming weeks. Jury selection is
set to begin March eighth, and opening arguments are expected
toward the end of the month. Wow, yeah, well here after.

(36:24):
It's not televised, right, you won't be to watch it, William,
I don't know. I don't know if it is. I'm
a watch. Yeah. I can't imagine them televising it, but
I would watch. I'm really interested in the defense. Yeah,
because you know what it It just goes to say
what we've all said all along. It's amazing how we

(36:46):
all see the same video and see something totally different. Now.
I don't know what happens to them twelve people when
they go in that room, but I don't know what
video they see. Yeah, dating back to Rodney King, we
all she's sitting here going, what are you kidding me?
This was murder. He murdered this man for eight minutes

(37:11):
and forty six seconds. He spent the entire time murdering
a man with his hand in his pocket like he
didn't give a damn on camera, on camera, Ram, please
come on, you know, and and and and America keeps
saying this is not who we are as a country.
Well okay, okay, then okay, what's the other side, because

(37:35):
we keep seeing this side, and we see this side
too often for you to convince us that this is
not the America we live in. It's not the america
you've ever seen or you want to deal with. But
it's the America that we've seen and lived with for
a long time. And now the gig is up. Yeah,
we're no longer patient. We don't want to wait on

(37:57):
you to treat us equally. We're past that. We're exhausted
from getting the constitution applied to us. We're fed up
with the people being able to kill us and get
away with it. Yeah, that's why I think it's good
that I hope that they do televise it, because I'm

(38:19):
sure a lot more will come out that we didn't
even know about that dreadful day. That the day I
do see a couple of media publications that are saying
that the judge will allow cameras in the trial needs
to be Yeah, so we'll see if that still holds up.

(38:41):
Gonna be a major major problem across this country. If
that's not a conviction. I'm not promoting it, I'm predicting it. Yeah,
all right, we'll be back with more of a Steve
Harvey Morning Show at thirty four minutes after the hour.
Right after this, you're listening this Dave Harvey Morning Show.

(39:03):
A principal in Indianapolis, Guys, listen to this story. Principle
in Indianapolis, Indiana has gone viral for giving a student
confidence a confidence boost, I should say, with a simple haircut.
All right. It all started with Anthony Moore was sent
to Jason Smith's office at Stony Brunk Intermediate and Middle
School for wearing a hat, which goes against the school's

(39:27):
dress code. I sat across from him and asked, what's wrong?
Why are you being defiant? Why are you refusing to
take your hat off? And he explained Anthony did that
his parents took him to get a haircut and he
didn't like the results. Instead of disciplining the young man,
the principal has experience in cutting hair and he gave
a student a haircut. So take a listen to the

(39:49):
principle is Jason Smith's told CNN how important haircuts are
to black males. I've been cutting hair, you know, most
of my life. Play college basketball, and I cut teammates
here four games and I've been cut my son's hairs
and you know for seventeen years. So I had professional
clippers and edgers at home. So I said, if I

(40:09):
go home and and get my clippers and line you
up when you go back to class, and he said,
he said, yeah, you know, I will. That age is
a time for you know, pere acceptance is huge, you know,
and so young men, you know, especially you know, African
young men. The barbershops a big deal, you know, in
the community and looking good and representing and presenting yourself,

(40:32):
you know, is huge for kids. That's great, man, But
that's an African American man that knows the culture. That's
a Caucasian principle. That young man is suspended for show.
That's what would happen. Yeah, man, what do you think, Steve,

(40:56):
I don't I don't know what would have happened at
the wrong possibility that the rule would have just been
into play. You gotta take your head off, you know,
and if you don't, you're breaking the rules. It probably
has to be some consequences. But like Tommy said, him
being an African American man and understanding the culture and
what it is, I mean, you got you got a

(41:18):
different result. And you know, like rules are like donuts,
you know what I mean. M Yeah, and the holes
are circumstance and conditions. You can't can't blanketly apply a
rule to a situation. A rule is different. It's not

(41:40):
a law, it's a rule. A rule. It's like a donut.
It has conditions applied to it, you know, like that. Look,
there's no fighting at this school. Okay, no fighting. Yeah,
that's the rule. But now hold on, if you dig
into the situation to find out that this boy got
some problems at have him. You know, he'd lost the

(42:02):
loved one at home, you know, and you know he
got put out of the you know, they lost their job,
everything going bad at the house. And you find that out,
then you can explain that, explain to boys behavior in school,
So you can't just throw him out of school, you
know what I mean. Yeah, when principles like this take
their time to understand why is this boy being so

(42:25):
adamant about this hat when clearly a simple rule you
can't wear hats in here. I got I had an
accident one time. Accident was fight when I was in
the seventh grade and I busted my eye and man,
my eye was swollen, black, blue, shut. So I wore glasses.
The next day, I'm sitting in the music class and

(42:46):
the guy says, hey, cool daddy, you want to take
them glasses off? They were dark glasses. Yeah, And I
said no, sir, and he sent me straight to the
principal's office. Now I got down there him, missus Clayton,
I gotta take it glasses off. I showed Miss clay
He said, I gonna put the glass on going back
to class. I understand because I gotta explain this eye

(43:07):
to everybody right all day right, all day right, and
in the public school. This ain't this ain't nobody as
exactly exactly Empathy that that's what we need more of.
Not just like you said, Steve, just that's it, that's
the rule. But this is this is why you want
police officers in the black neighborhood who understand the black community.

(43:30):
This is the reason why absolutely who said this? I
turned into Thomas mild hold on, hold on who to him?
You don't know your personality? He said, said that, wait,
we have to go to commercial break. Yeah, I got right.

(43:51):

and hold on tight. We got it for you. Here.
It is Strawberry Letter. Subject my wife made sure my
son hates me. Dear Stephen Shirley, I'm going to jump

(53:52):
right on in. I cheated on my wife two years
ago with a woman that constantly threatened to call my
when she didn't get what she wanted. This went on
two years until I ran out of money and decided
to end the affair. This woman called my wife a
few days later. I was out cutting the yard when

(54:13):
my wife when she called my house and my wife answered.
I walked in and my wife was on the speaker
phone listening to my side chick with my son sitting
there listening to everything. He was twelve years old at
the time, and I made him leave the room, but
he had already heard enough. My relationship with him was ruined.

(54:35):
After that day. My home life was terrible too, so
I moved out after my wife served me with divorce papers.
We are in the process of discussing who will get
custody of our son, and I haven't seen him in months.
His mother's brainwatched him to think I'm a no good
cheeter and liar. She has him in the middle of

(54:56):
grown folks business, and when we talked, she's always on
speakerphone so my son can hear all of the conversation.
She sends me text messages with our son on the
text thread, and she's usually calling me names and cursing
me out. She's brought up all kinds of things that
have happened in our marriage, and my son doesn't need
to know all of that. I'm dying to see him,

(55:18):
so I sent him a text asking him to have
dinner with me one day soon. He sent me the
most disrespectful reply a child could send a father. I
wanted to go snatch him up real quick, but I can't.
This is not the boy I raised. He needs his
father back in his life. How can I reverse all

(55:40):
of this brainwashing? Please advise? Well, I don't know if
you're going to be able to do that. And I
have to say this. Everything in this letter is just terrible.
Everything in this letter, I mean, you cheat it for
the lamest excuse ever, I mean, in the history of cheating.
Just say you cheated or wanted to cheat, cheating because
this woman was gonna call your wife if you didn't

(56:02):
cheat with her. It's about the stupidest thing ever, I mean.
And then you you cheated with her for two years.
She scared you for two years. Okay, that's just dumb.
You know you should have told your wife about the
threats when they started, and then call the woman's bluff
and not cheat it since she ended up calling your

(56:23):
wife anyway, you know. I also, this is what I
don't hear in this letter. I don't hear any remorse
from you. I hear no remorse from you about what
you did. I mean, did you try to fix it,
did you try to apologize? Did you try anything anything?
I mean? And of course your wife wanted to hurt you,
and she knows your son is the way to get

(56:45):
at you. I mean, what she did is beyond wrong.
What she did is beyond wrong. There's no way your
son should have been in the middle. As you say,
grown folks business. If she needed an ally, she could
have talked to another adult, you know. She she she
tainted the boy. Now made herself look like a victim,
and yeah, made you hate him, made your son hate

(57:08):
you and disrespect you. I'm not blaming your wife. I'm
not blaming her for anything. This is your fault. This
is you, and of course you. Your son doesn't want
to see his mom hurt and going through because of you.
People get divorced every day and parents do get joint
custody of a kid. So hopefully during the divorce, that'll
work itself out. But yeah, you sir, created all of

(57:31):
this because of your cheating. Now the family's broken. But
you gotta get to your son some kind of way.
You gotta apologize to him. You gotta do something. You
got to talk to your son and not say anything
bad about his mom like you tried to, you know,
allude to in the letter. None of that. I don't

(57:52):
agree with anything she's done either. And your son has
already damaged by what she did, you know, letting him
hear everything. So you gotta get to a counselor. You
got to talk to him, a therapist of pastor Jesus
someone to heal this relationship. Hopefully, like I said, the divorce,
when you get that, when you get custody, you know,
he can begin to understand that you do love him. Steve. See,

(58:16):
I don't think this is a letter at all about reconciliation.
I don't think it is at all. And I think
the man came right on when he said, I'm gonna
just jump right on it. I cheated on my wife
two years ago. He already noticed his fault. I'm just

(58:38):
saying he knows it is his fault. But with a
woman who constantly threatened to call my wife when she
didn't get what she wanted. See, now that's not a threat.
If you don't stay with me, I'm gonna call your wife.
It could be anything she wanted, because he said it
like he was buying her stulf, getting her stulf, probably
helping her, you know, with the bills and all this hidden.

(59:00):
She don't give something, she won't her way or him
to come over at a certain time, then I'm gonna
threatened to call your wife. This went on for two years,
and this is the killer part, he says, until I
ran out of money and decided to end the affair. See,
this affair was based around the money he was given

(59:21):
the mistress. So when the mistress couldn't get what, she
won't and I'll need this, you need to buy me that.
This shit threatened to call the wife. He kept it
going for two years. He liked a little sideline stuff,
but it was costing him too much, so then he
decided to end the affair. What what should he didn't

(59:42):
have to do any of this. He was cheating with
the woman. He was buying the stuff she wanted more
when he didn't have the money to give or won't
She threatened to call him. He tried to keep it
until he ran out of money. That we'll come back
with per two of your response. Girl at twenty three
minutes after backing, straightened her letter and her out come

(01:00:04):
on back, you're straighten him out. My ex wife made
sure my son hates me is the subject. We'll be
back right after this. You're listening show, All right, Come on, Steve,
let's recap today's strawberry letter. The subject my ex wife
made my son hate me? All right? Man writes a

(01:00:24):
letter to said he gonna jump right on it. Cheated
on his wife two years ago. He admitted that he
know he wronged with the woman that constantly threatened to
call my wife when she didn't get what she wanted.
That could be I want you to come over now.
That could be I want a new dress. That could
be I want you to fix my car. That could
be I need help with these bills. It could be

(01:00:44):
anything she wanted, but she would threaten to call her wife. Now.
He tried to keep it up, and he said, this
went on for two years until I ran out of money,
and I said, man, now I got to end this
affair because that affair he was in. It might have
been sexual, but it was tied to money. Sugar. Daddy

(01:01:05):
ran out of sugar. He just daddy, now, So that's
what happened. I was out cutting the yard when she
called my house and my wife answered. Walked in. Wife
on the speaker phone listening to my side. Chick, he
know he wrong. My son was sitting there listening to everything.
He was twelve years old at the time, and I
made him leave the room, but he had already heard enough.

(01:01:27):
My relationship when him was ruined. After that day, my
home life was terrible too, so I moved out after
my wife served me with divorce papers. So this isn't
about a reconciliation. It's over. He caused it. His fault,
bad hit the problem. We're in the process of discussion.
Who would get custody of our son dog. You're not

(01:01:50):
getting custody. You could get joint custody. You know you
might get knocked down the visitation, but you're not getting custody.
You can stop this right now. I haven't seen him
in months. His mother has brainwashed him to think I'm
a no good cheetah and liar. She has him in
the middle of grown folks business, and when we talk,

(01:02:11):
she's always on speaking phones, so my son can hear
all of the conversation. Sirley and I both agree she's
wrong for this. I'm gonna tell you at the end.
Sends me text messages with our son on the text thread.
Oh she wrong, man, But I'm gonna tell you why
she's doing this too, calling your names and cussing me out.
She's brought off all kinds of things that happened in

(01:02:32):
I managing my son. Don't need to know all that.
I'm dying to see him. So when I sent him
a text asking to have dinner with me one day soon,
he sent me the most disrespectful reply a child could
send a father. I want to go snatch him up
real quick, but I can't. This is not the boy
I raise. He needs his father back in his life.
How can I reverse all the brainwashing? Please advise? Well,

(01:02:55):
she here's a deal. She has accomplished what she wanted
to do. But here's a problem. She won, but he lost,
not you have lost. Her son has lost because he
not only does he not have a husband, but now
she got her son thinking he ain't got a father,

(01:03:17):
and it don't have to be because his my opinion
in this whole thing, when your husband doesn't prove to
be a great husband, it doesn't mean that he's not
a good father. Those are two different roles completely, And

(01:03:38):
when I say that, I'm meaning that the two roles
can be separated and each can be performed extremely well.
You can be a great husband and never have any children.
You can be a great father, but you don't necessarily
make you a great husband. So the man is not
a great husband, got that, But that don't mean he

(01:04:02):
ain't a great father. But as a scorn woman or man,
tying the two together only hurts the child. The child
is crust. Oh, you're whipping the father's behind. But do
you know that? You know in the long run that
man is still a man no matter what you say
about him. But you are hindering your son's development into

(01:04:26):
manhood because the one person that can teach him how
to be a man, you've discredited him because he wasn't
a good husband. See, y'all just wasn't it for each other?
For whatever the reason was. He wrong for cheating one
hundred percent. But because he's not a good husband, don't

(01:04:47):
make him not a good father. So now you brainwashed
the child into hating his own father, and you win.
But guess what your child loses. And y'all got to
stop that. This is knowledge of man. If you are
out there, you have to stop that. If you're in
the process of using your child as upon and your
divorce or your relationship, you have to stop that. I

(01:05:11):
am speaking from experience. You have to stop that. It's
not for you to do this to this boy, because
I have news for you. One day, this boy's gonna
grow up and he gonna know the truth. And as
this boy grows up, this boy's gonna make mistakes of
his own and he's gonna start to understand that mistakes

(01:05:35):
happen in life. But because he wasn't a great husband
to you don't mean that he wasn't a great father
to this boy. And you're doing nothing but damaging the board.
And they tell you all the time. Listen, I don't
let my children hear me say nothing about their mother's
disparaging nothing. Oh I could, but I don't now them.

(01:05:57):
On the other hand, Oh, they ain't done. Men done
me like like like a damn book. But guess what
at the end, the truth comes out hanging it. Though
I support the man in this letter, I supports the child.
All right, well wow, okay, Well we'll continue this conversation

(01:06:20):
when we come back. My ex wife made sure my
son hates me. Steve and I agree on that that
that is definitely wrong and we have some personal experiences
to talk about when we come back. All right, after this,
you're listening to the Steve Harvey Morning Show. All right, Steve,
this this Strawberry letter was was interesting. My ex wife

(01:06:42):
made sure my son hates me. Um, you know, I mean,
we can relate to it. We can relate to it.
We've both been divorced on the show. Um, you know,
full disclosure. Um, my first marriage didn't go well, didn't
end well, but we had a beautiful child out of
that relationship. And you know, I'm not ashamed to admit

(01:07:03):
um that I was very bitter. I was very very
bitter when we broke up. Um. Uh, you know, you
get to a dark place sometimes you're angry, you're bitter,
and um, you know I was on the radio. I
was on the radio in LA. A lot of people
who listened during that time, probably well hopefully they don't remember.
It was so long ago. But yeah, I used to

(01:07:23):
bad man. I used to really bad mother my ex
husband on the air constantly, because you know, something would
happen that it would remind me or you know, trigger
me or something like that, and I just go in,
you know, I say one thing, Yeah, call him a
dead beat dad or whatever whatever, and uh, just just

(01:07:44):
not a good look. You know when you look back
and you look back from now, what you think, Oh,
it was horrible. I mean I had to stop myself.
You know, you grow, you change, people change, they do.
I had to forgive him that. It started with that forgiveness,
because forgiveness is not for the other person. We talk
about that a lot on the show. Forgiveness is for you.

(01:08:05):
Once I forgave him, then I could start to heal.
And I stopped and I apologized on the air. I
apologized to him for saying that because we had a child,
I never wanted her to grow up. And you know
have people saying, well, your mom used to do this,
talk about your I never wanted that, so you know
mine ain't feel that way. But you wouldn't do that.

(01:08:30):
You're too much of a gentleman to do that. Well,
I would never talk about my sons and daughters mothers
in a disparaging way publicly. I would never do that,
you know. I have my comments away in my own
personal life because I'm human, but never on the air,
because I taught my sons. I raised my sons to

(01:08:53):
honor their mothers like I was raised to honor mine
and to defend her at all costs. I can't they
can't see me talking about it. And then I asked
them not to honor them. But you know, my yeah, yeah,
but my ex went on a complete and total smear
campaign out of out of her anger and score for years,

(01:09:15):
I understand, for years. I mean just attack, attack, attack, attack,
you know. Yeah, and you know, I thank god I
had Marjorie, you know, a strong woman who knew me. Yeah,
I could say no. All right, coming up at the
top of the hour, we're going to talk about the
moment we realized that we've turned into our parents. Oh boy,

(01:09:39):
we'll talk about that right after this. You're listening to show,
all right, So, guys, no matter how much as kids
we swear that we will never grow up to be
like our parents, there does come a time when most
of us wind up doing just that. We all I

(01:10:00):
love that commercial. And you know where the guy is
helping people not to turn into their parents. We love
that commercial. We see all blue hair. Growing up, did
you swear you weren't going to be like your parents? And?

(01:10:20):
Uh so that's the question. Growing up, did you ever
swear that you weren't going to be like your parents?
And what things did you insist you never do and
now you do them? What what are you doing? I'm
doing it like you know. My little girl is sixteen,
so I got me a little girl. We bought my

(01:10:41):
little girl a car. I swear every time she pull
out that driveway, I want to know where you're going.
I want to know when you get there. I want
you to call me when you get there. I want
you call them when you're on your way back. I'm
just paranoid. My daddy was just like that boy. Where
you going, I'm going around here, call him when you
get over there. I don't want to go in the

(01:11:01):
house and call you. Then you ain't going, Then you
ain't going. You have a traice. But my little girl
is to see one point. She texts as soon as
she get what she going the way back. She does
everything she's supposed to do so now that the oldest boy. Man,
who where are you going? You all want to know

(01:11:25):
where I'm going? Daddy? Okay, okay, you're right, you go
ahead on. I am my daddy all over. Yeah, what
about you, junior? I know you don't have kids, but man, lecturing,
I said. I never lectured like my parents did because

(01:11:46):
my dad didn't give good lecture because he could never
finish the sentence. I do the same thing with my nephew.
Time to school called, he messed up. I heat on
the phone. Hello, I said, hey, what who? Okay? Now,
see see here right, you're pushing it. You're pushing it. Okay,
listen to me. I ain't saying nothing, but I said,
listen to me. You all right now, okay, let me

(01:12:08):

it into the exact ain't Peter Man, No, you know
I'm the direct opposite there. No, no, no, I couldn't wait.
Could be my damn dad. You wait, I find somebody

(01:12:31):
I can tell you get the hell out of my faith.
Ain't go hey, come in here, get that remote, go
over there and turn that TV channel to all that. Yeah,
I'm gonna take the car. You ain't taking nobody's damn car,
you better get your ass on that bike. I'm saying,
do you say no, I'll be going Yeah, I feel good. Yeah,

(01:12:57):

You know, she'd be calling me this name or that
name or that you know is Marjorie w Yeah, and
I do that now, dude, you really? Yes? What with
my mom? She made a big thing about, you know, cleaning,

(01:13:21):

maze and all. I'm telling you. The other day, I
got Tasha up like my mom used to give me up,
get down here, let's get busy. And I was turning
on Frankie Beverly and Maze. I'm snapping my fingers behind
my mom, just liting myself. I was like, oh my god,

(01:13:44):
and to this right? Are you let go? So has
anybody said the thing that we all? I know we
all hated this growing up because I said SO said that, yeah,
and I hate when it comes out of my mouth,

(01:14:05):
but there it is. I hated that. Working all right,
favorite work. That means all right. We'll have more of
Today's trending stories and more of the Steve Harvey Morning

(01:14:28):
Show twenty minutes after. Right after this, you're listening to
the String show. Well, while millions of people around the
country try to set up appointments to go get vaccinated,
r Kelly is apparently way ahead of the curve. TMZ
is reporting that r Kelly has now received both doses

(01:14:50):

of sixty three inmates at Chicago's Metropolitan Correction Center to
be fully vaccinated so far, as well as one hundred
and twenty eight staff members. So there you go. I

We'll have more of the Steve Harvey Morning Show coming
up at thirty three minutes after the hour. Right after this,
you're listening to the Steve Harvey Morning Show. Trending news.
A courthouse where Derek Chauvin will be tried for murdering

(01:16:21):
George Floyd looks like the same fortress that's around the
US capital right now. Heavy reinforced to black out the
general public. Construction crews have been hard at work over
the past week four defying downtown Minneapolis with de facto
force fields, including areas where protests and unrest are expected
as Chauvin's murder trial gets underway in the coming weeks.

(01:16:44):
Jury selection is set to begin March eighth, and opening
arguments are expected toward the end of the month. Wow,
M yeah, well here after not televised, right, you won't
be able to watch it with you. I don't know,
I don't know. I'm gonna watch yeah, I can't imagine

(01:17:06):
them televising it, but I would watch. I'm really interested
in the defense, Yeah, because you know what, it just
it just goes to say what we've all said all along.
It's amazing how we all see the same video and
see something totally different. Now. I don't know what happens
to them twelve people when they go in that room,

(01:17:27):
but I don't know what video they see. Dating back
to Rodney King, Oh my god, she's sitting here going,
what are you kidding me? This is murder? Yeah, he
murdered this man. Yeah, for eight minutes and forty six seconds.
He spent the entire time murdering a man with his

(01:17:50):
hand in his pocket like he didn't give a damn
on camera, on camera, Ram, please come on, you know,
and and and and America keeps saying this is not
who we are as a country. Well okay, okay, then okay,
what's the other side? Because we keep seeing this side,
and we see this side too often for you to

(01:18:13):
convince us that this is not the America we live in.
It's not the America you've ever seen or you want
to deal with, But it's the America that we've seen
and lived with for a long time, and now the
gig is up. Yeah, we're no longer patient. We don't
want to wait on you to treat us equally. We're

(01:18:34):
past that. We're exhausted from getting the constitution applied to us.
We're fed up with the people being able to kill
us and get away with it. Yeah. Yeah, that's why
I think it's good that I hope that they do
televise it, because I'm sure a lot more will come
out that we didn't even know about that dreadful day

(01:18:57):
that the day. You know, I see a couple of
media publications that are saying that the judge will allow
cameras in the trial. I think it needs to be. Yeah,
so we'll see if that still holds up. Gonna be
a major major problem across this country. If that's not

(01:19:19):
a conviction. I'm not promoting it, right, I'm predicting it.
Coming up, it is our last break of the day,
and of course we'll have some closing remarks from the
one and only Steve Harvey at forty nine minutes after
right after this, you're listening to show all right, here

(01:19:40):
we are, guys, last break of the day. It's been
a good day. And I have to say before we
get to Steve's closing remarks, Happy birthday to my brother Fish.
It is his Birthdayishday, Fish Birthday, Fish. I love you,
love you, love you. Happy birthday. Enjoy your make us

(01:20:01):
a cake for your Birthdake. I don't have artificial pound cake.
They're good. Yeah, hey, y'all. You know what I was thinking. Um,
I think about all that we've accomplished over the years

(01:20:22):
as people, and I'm talking to us as a people.
We have a lot that we could be really really
proud of. You know, I look back on this past
election this year, and it's probably the most proud I've
ever been as an African American voting. I never felt
more proud for voting and us as a voting block

(01:20:45):
that I did this past year. I also was very,
very impressed with young people in twenty twenty during COVID
the way the Black Lives Matter movement showed up. And
it's a resurgence because you, black Lives Matter started a
little while ago, but it didn't have the correct momentum

(01:21:08):
behind it. Because COVID made sure that the right momentum
got behind it this time. Because everybody was at home
watching and so what Black Lives Matter did was it
took young people and put them in the forefront of this.
And the Black Lives Matter movement is because of young people,

(01:21:28):
make no mistake about it. Young people did this just
like Civil Rights was our shot at it in the
sixties and seventies, and what we accomplished then made headway.
This movement here where for the first time I saw

(01:21:49):
a movement about black lives come together in a way
where so many people who were non black participated in
it to the point where it became disruptive to the
Republican Party. And why I was I do not understand.
Of course, I do understand, because the leader of that

(01:22:10):
party changed the narrative of the movement, changed the narrative
of Colin Kaepernick, changed the narrative of Black Lives matter,
and they just went along with it. But young people
made me beyond proud of them. They were monumental in

(01:22:32):
the change that's occurring in this country right now. And
don't you think that things are not changing. Oh they're
not changing fast, but there is a change occurring right
now because now there is a voting block that they
have to they have to contend with now they're gonna
continue with voter suppression, and they're going to continue with
the little slick tricks, and if any and all else fails,

(01:22:56):
they'll bring Donald Trump back. They're going to do every
thing in their power to put a stop to this.
But Stacy Abrahams, they were already talking about stop Stacy.
They're already talking about it. This woman right here has
galvanized the state of Georgia. There are so many people
in Philly who galvanized in Georgia, in Detroit, in Milwaukee,

(01:23:21):
all across this nation that have galvanized. Texas could turn
blue because of young people. These athletes today are more
heavily involved in larger numbers than ever before. Now, you know,
I remember the first athlete I saw they got active
out there with Jim Brown, with James Browning and all

(01:23:45):
them cats when they started. And I remember Al Green
came to the forefront and and all them old old
cats was out there on the front lines doing battle.
But then I watched, you know, Kareem abdue Jabar take
his stay and help out none bigger and braver than
Mohammad our Lee. And then I remember all these brothers

(01:24:07):
who came to the forefront but today though on no sun.
Make no mistake about it, because I was around for
both periods of time. I've never seen it at this magnitude.
I've never seen blacks in sports in baseball, basketball, and
football get together and band together the way they have.

(01:24:32):
We have something to be proud of. This is a
slow turnaround because it's long overdue and they're still fighting
to make it right. Part, and there's a part of
this country that will always fight to make it right. Part.
They're not going to give it up easily because for

(01:24:52):
some reason they think that if they give you a
slice of pie, that cuts into they slice of pie.
What they don't understand about justice is justice is just justice.
It ain't if you get too big a piece, we
don't get none. It's gnaw, man. Everybody wants the same
slice of pie. But you got some people, man, who've

(01:25:14):
got to make you feel less so they can feel more.
That's the problem that we have in this country. This
is the country that we live in. We live in
a country that if we keep classes alive, then we
can hold you down. If we can keep you in
a certain zone, we can keep you down. Why are

(01:25:35):
we fighting minimum wage? Somebody please tell me Democrat or
Republican the problem with fifteen dollars minimum wage. Well, I'll
tell you what it is. They can't give you the
taste of success because if you taste success, you're gonna
want more of it. And if you want more of it,
they think you're gonna take it from them. It's simple

(01:25:57):
as that. The rich gonna have to take the cut
in pat you. That's why they fight me. Black people
who got a lot to be proud of. I'm proud
of y'all, man. Uncle Steve just wanted to say that
to y'all. Thank y'all for digging in the way you
did this year. Man. You've done us all a real
service unadjusted. Appreciate it, y'all. Have a great day. Talk
to you tomorrow. All right now. For all Steve Harvey contests,
