Speaker 1 (00:00):
Today's show is pre recorded. Y'all know what time. I
don't know. Y'all have a suit on the don giving
them like the million bucks things and it cost me

(00:20):
through good Hart, Please, I don't join jo. You got turning.

(01:24):
You gotta turn to turn them out. Turn you lot
got to turn out to turn turn water to the

(01:47):
water got come come on your baby, Uh huh, I
show will good morning everybody. You're listening to the voice,
come on dig me now. One and only Steve Harvey

(02:09):
got a radio show. Man got a radio show because
God is in the blessing business. I just happened to
be a recipient. I just happened to got a couple
of things right, and man, his grace and mercy carries
you the rest of the way. All you got to

(02:30):
do is get a couple of things right, and then
his grace and his mercy will take over his favor,
his love of you. It's it's already evident. I mean,
you know, because so many times we go along without
even acknowledging him or conferring with him in our decisions,
and we look up when we find ourselves in a predicament,

(02:51):
and he always comes to the rescue. He always manages
to show up. He's never too he's never one minute
too late. And so in light of this to date,
I wanted to talk to you about something. It's another
principle of success that I'd like to share with everybody

(03:15):
this morning. And once again, these are not things that
you don't know or you've never heard before. These are
just reminders along the way. And one of the things
you have to be conscious of is don't be afraid
to change. Don't be afraid to change because change is
coming anyway. See, I have a theory, don't be afraid

(03:38):
to change because change is coming anyway. You know, everything changes,
nothing remains the same nothing, and change is inevitable. Now,
you could participate in the change, or you can react
to the change. Are you following me? You can participate

(03:59):
in the change, or you can react to the change.
But don't be afraid to change because change is coming anyway. Now,
what I mean by that is this, in participating in
the change or reacting in the change, there is a difference. See,

(04:19):
if you react to the change, that means the change
has occurred and now you have to make the necessary
adjustments to the change. Example, the boss walks in, you
think your job is good. The boss walks in and
hands you a pink slip. That right there, that's a change.

(04:40):
Now you didn't participate in this change because you didn't
ask for the pink slip. But now you got to
react to the pink slip. Whenever you have to react
to the change, it's an adjustment period. It almost throws
you off. So change is going to come. It always does.

(05:03):
You could participate or you can react. Or let's say
your boss comes in and hands you the pink slip
and you said, you know what I've been preparing for
this day. Always knew nothing last forever. I've been working
on the sideline on the business idea I had and

(05:25):
I had, or I had several other applications in around town.
I was just holding off to see what was going going.
So when they hand you the pink slip, the transition
to adjustment you make is a lot more smooth a
transition because now you just transition into your new business
I did that you've been working on, or you transition
into the apps you already had in or the contact

(05:47):
you made the preparation for when the day they're coming
in hand you the pink slip we stee what did
they surprise you with it? This is just one example
I'm giving you, so you know, let's not nick pick
the message. So what I'm saying to everybody is, don't
be afraid to change because change is coming anyway. So

(06:08):
many people are stuck in a rut because of your
our refusal to change. I was hell bent on a
certain thing going a certain way, and this is how
I was going to go. Well, that that I was
thinking didn't really fit. Now in my own personal experience,
this may not be yours, but in my own personal experience,

(06:31):
the things that I've had the most trouble letting go
of was something I wanted. When I line myself up
with the will of God to ask God what he
wanted for me. You understand, those things came a lot
more easy to me because it was in the will

(06:52):
of God. It was what God wanted me to do too. Okay,
see what you mean by that? Okay, here we go.
When things were going wrong in relationships for me, what
I did was the biggest mistake I've ever made was
I attempted to fix what was wrong in my relationship

(07:12):
outside of the relationship filming. Okay, so I'm out there
working my groove like I want to. Well, now, guess what,
there's a cause and effect for all of that too.
Your house ain't gonna get better. It can't. And then
in that lady's room for some other things. And so

(07:33):
now that when the change come, guess what, I gotta
react to it. Now, I gotta, I gotta, I gotta
have a reaction to it. Had I lined myself up
in the will of God, the transition may have grown differently.
It could have still ended the relationship. But guess what,

(07:54):
some of the pain I was in I ain't had
to go through. I bought a lot on myself. Sometimes
you're pursuing a passion of yours, and what God really
wants you to do is pursue your gift. So now
you're pursuing your passion. Right, you're passionate about golf. You
love golf so much you just determine. But now you're

(08:17):
messed around. You ain't made it on the PGA Tour yet,
and you fortify still talking about I'm gonna play on
the PGA Tour. Really, Okay, maybe you ain't as good
as as you think, or maybe you're not as gifted
as you think maybe you're pursuing a passion. Sometimes, man,
we have to change and we have to ask God
what is his will? His will is much simpler. It's

(08:41):
a simpler rule. Not going to be easier, it's simpler.
See when I wake up. Now, it's simple for me
to wake up because I know that are a few
things that I have to do. I have to click
this mic on. I have to be positive. I have
to be inspirational. I have to be informative. I have

(09:01):
to be uplifting. Got it, That's what he want. All
I got to do is sit down, close my eyes,
ask God to help me be who he wants me
to be. And for the most part, he tell me
what to say. Now, guess what he's done though, to
create this in me. I went through enough things in
my life. I had enough challenges. I made plenty of mistakes.

(09:25):
So I now, at my age, I can turn around
and tell somebody listening to me, Okay, this is what
I did. This is a mistake I made. Maybe you
see yourself in this story right here. Maybe you don't
have to go this way, or this is what I've
learned about becoming successful. Here's a principle that I learned,
but then guess what, I had to be unsuccessful to
get it though did not. So you can't have a

(09:45):
testimony without a test Change is coming. It's inevitable. You
can participate or you can react. I much prefer to
participate in the change. All right, let's go. You're listening show, aren't.
Everybody is too? You got one day in the hole.

(10:06):
All you gotta do is do this one and then
you got another day. And we're gonna make it funner

and I'm dating a man with four children. He's been
divorced for six years, and he told me he was
looking for a woman that would accept his children and
be a good stepmom. He also said he was dating
to get married, so if I wasn't serious, I needed
to let him know. We've been together for nine months
and when he has his kids at home, he expects
me to cook, clean and take care of them. Is

(14:41):
this a trial period to see if I can handle
the kids? Or is he just using me as a babysitter.
What he's looking for is a nanny. That's what he's
looking for. He's trying to see if you nanny material.
It ain't wife, it ain't no soul mate. He needs
a nanny. Now. This inward needs a nannin now, Okay,

on my teeth, and I got lightful suction on my

(15:48):
abdomen and love handles. I'm serious about my looks because
I do print modeling. I was Danny, a woman, and
she recently broke up with me because she says I
have low self esteem and I refuse to grow old gracefully.
This is not the case at all. I just believe
in keeping my look so I can keep my paycheck.
Should I keep trying to get her back or move on?

you anymore. That's the problem. She don't. She don't know

crumpets right now, I don't if she got a hat
back on that spinning a purse man, that ain't any

(31:36):
good sense. Yeah, I was amazing, even even the adjective
here you know something? All right, did Megan? Do you
think Megan wanted to go? I know she can't go
and think she wanted don't. Yeah, she probably wanted to
support her husband, I will say that. But as far
as going back over there with all the drama and

(31:59):
and you know and all of that, she probably didn't
want to deal with that, especially now that she's with child.
You know, keep the stress out of your life. You know,
you walk in the funeral, turn around, why she is? Yeah?
What what color's let? Look who at the funeral? Right?

(32:22):
You know how to say this? Though? For Harry, though,
he gave up his whole rights and titles for that woman. Man,
that is beautiful. That is a beautiful because you know
what a black woman do. But because Tom soap Us
is in relationships, we won't to take off a Wednesday.
He gave up his whole title. You can't Jane to

(32:44):
take off Wendy. I denounced my throne. And finally, as
we move on in entertainment dues, Kanye West is asking
for joint custody and the divorce petition from Kim Kardashian
his wife. According to TMZ, the couple wants to work
out a co parenting situate. There is a pre nup
already in place, so there shouldn't be a big deal

(33:04):
of dividing up the assets and all of that. So
that's cool. He's a good dad. He really is a
good dad. She said that over and over. I'm sure.
All right, time now, Jay for today's headlines. As we
looked to miss Anne for information and an update on
the school shooting that happened in Knoxville, Tennessee. Jay, all right, everybody,

(33:24):
it's time for the news with miss Anne. Trip very much.
This is a trip with the news. While President Biden
is weighing in on yet another incident in Minnesota where
an unarmed black man was killed by a white police officer,
this time by a white female officer who claims she
meant to fire her taser but used her service pistol instead.
Question is was it an accident intentional That remains to

(33:48):
be determined by fullball investigation. Twenty year old Dante White
was stopped in a Minnesota suburb called a Brooklyn Center
for having an air freshener hanging from his back window.
Apparently that's illegal there and expired tags. Cops checked and
found that he had an outstanding warrant. They say Dante
White was shot as he tried to get back into

(34:08):
the car with his girlfriend who was inside. Some forty
people were arrested in protests over this overnight, and there
were clashes also early Monday morning between Black Lives Matter
protests and cops in that Minnesota suburb. Meanwhile, only about
ten miles away in Minneapolis, the trial of Derek Chauvin
entered his third week, and because of the killing of
Dante Smith, Chauvin's lawyer asked to judge at one point

(34:30):
to sequester the jury. In the George Floyd murder case,
he refused. On the stand. Yesterday, doctor Jonathan Richard cardiologists
who viewed all the police body camp and testified that
Floyd's heart stopped yeah, because he couldn't get any air,
not because he had a heart attack, and that neither
he nor the crowd that day were any danger to
the cops who restrained him. Right now, right now, so here.

(34:58):
The audio starts with the buy standers saying that mister
Floyd is not responsive, pleading with officers to check his pulse.
Officer King does so, spends six or seven seconds checking
looks like two locations or maybe trying to get a
pulse on the same location twice, before ultimately announcing that

(35:20):
he can't find a pulse. Someone who does not have
a pulse does not present a threaten any way. Maryland's
majority Democratic legislature has overridden the governor's veto there and
pass changes designed to reduce police brutality and the use
of excessive force in Maryland. The director of Maryland's ACLU says, quote,
this is what the community wants. They want reform, they
want transparency, and they want accountability. The governor of Texas,

(35:44):
Greg Abbott, says that his statu is close to achieving
herd immunity. He said that to Chris Walls on Fox.
Then he had to admit he didn't even know what
hurt Muney was. Yeah, somebody needs help. Now back to
the Steve Harvey Morning Show. You're listening, day Hartnoll, Right, Junior,
Let's introduce Jay. Okay, Well, here it is my writing buddy,

Here we go with this bit right here this it
is like, I'm not judging anybody. I don't want to.
Don't send me letters and cards. It's just my opinion
of people who need to let it go. I'm not
saying what they need to let go. I'm just saying
I've seen some things and they need to let it go. Okay,
I won't say what it is you need to let go.

(36:48):
Snoop Dog, we love you, but it's time to let
it go. I didn't say what he needed to let
go because I'm not that type of person. I wouldn't
do that and put somebody on front. You know, you
don't know what I'm thinking. You know, I'm just saying,
Snoop Dog needs to let it go for shizzle, whatever

(37:12):
the nizzle, what how do we want to do it?
It needs to be let go? All right. We love you,
we love your music, Lizzle, you need to let it go. Okay,
I'm just not talking about how your weight. Don't go
there with that with me, Okay, but you need to

(37:33):
let it go. James Brown, sportscaster. Dude, dude, dude, dude,
let it go. Just let it. It's back, it's back.
Don't don't hold on to it no more. Let it go.
Stop the middle of the middle of it. When you're

(37:57):
in the middle of it, you come. I didn't say that.
I didn't give it away. I didn't give it away.
I didn't say that through it. This is just my opinion.

(38:17):
I'm not criticizing about. We love you, miss Goldberg. We
love you, but enough is enough, Miss Whoopi Goldberg. We
love you. Don't take this the wrong way. It is
time to let it go. Enough enough, it's a new enough. Okay, stopping.

(38:43):
Give me one more? Yeah, help me, help you. I
didn't call nobody's name, so don't be calling here. Jason
Lebron James great basketball player, one of the best. But
it's ten, it's ten to let it go. Yes, let

(39:11):
it go, all right? Listen coming up at thirty four
minutes after the hour this seven to show more of
the Steve Harvey Morning Show. Right after this day you're
listening to the Steve Harvey Morning Show. Guys, we have
to ask this question, it seems constantly and more and
more now, and that question is what is going on

(39:32):
in this world? I mean, tensions are high between police
and the public in the middle of the Derek Chauvin trial,
and here we go again, what is going on? Sunday
afternoon during a traffic stop, twenty year old Dante Wright
was fatally shot during a traffic stop after a Minnesota
police officers shout at taser but fired a handgun instead.

(39:55):
Brooklyn Center Police Chief Tim Gannon said. Police said they
tried to take the driver into custody after learning during
a traffic stop that Dante Wright had outstanding warrants. According
to the body cam footage, Right got out of his
car but then got back in. It's not clear why.
Then you hear a female officer shouting taser, Taser, taser,

(40:17):
but then fires a gun. Not a taser, a gun, right, Yeah,
I mean really uh? And then you hear the female
officers saying, holy shi t U, I shot him. You
know what? Yes, I'm this scares me so much because
I have a twenty four year old son, and I

(40:39):
just I just I cringe every time I see this
because you just don't know when it's gonna be you,
even me, you know what I mean, your children. You
just don't know what day somebody's gonna call you with
some news like this. Because these people are that terrified
at doing their job and and and they make these

(41:01):
careless mistakes. And they have to understand that these young
men they're scared too, that they are scared too. So
you're reacting and they are afraid that what's gonna happen happened, Yeah,
and then you you there kill them. They're afraid of
being killed. That's why why can't you get that through

(41:23):
your head? These these people are human, They're human. They
have targets, yeah, the right, and they are I mean,
I've heard that so much from black men. We feel
like we got a target on our back when we're
stopped by police. I would saying, could it be the
fact that you know, if you see he's African American?
Can we just you know, just have a quick meeting

(41:44):
as officers, like, hey, he may be scared. Can we
just talk about this for a second, because you know,
how do you want us to get out of the car.
That's the next question. How are we supposed to get out. Yeah,
you want to get you scared to grab that that
that handman to open that door. You're scared, take you out. Yeah,

(42:04):
that's a very good point un here, because police officers
aren't the only ones whose lives are at stake. Black
men's lives are at steak from from a routine traffic stop. Right,
Why why is your attitude so escalated when you stop
somebody black? But it's not when you stop somebody Well,
why are you not at the waist so always ready

(42:26):
to shoot, to shoot when you see a black man,
knowing that when you stop him, in most cases, he's
he's frightened, he's yeah, this is gonna be the day
I die, Right, I tell you, because they do not
look at us as human They do not. They don't
look at us like human people. They just really don't.

(42:49):
They really don't. Because we know they're scared, and that's
why they escalate, escalate, escalate, But can you, like you say,
stop for a moment and realize that we might be
too in the taser to me another way, how the
hell you make that mistake? Once you draw your weapon
and it's yellow, it's a The taser is yellow and

(43:09):
they made it yellow for a reason. You don't see that.
It's bright. It's not like a dull yellow. It's a
bright ass yellow, and you don't see it. And for
a traffic stop. You got his tag number, you know
where he lives. You can go in the rest this
guys some other time. Why the hell you cruising looking
at bad tags? But the hell you could call that in? Yeah, surely, yes,

(43:33):
I mean this, it's just and and all of this,
all of this during the Derek Chauvin trial, right, same thing. Yeah, practically,
you know, you like, you don't have an attitude. We
already we already they're already looking at us. We need
to be cool with this, you know. But no, no,

(43:53):
can I request a black officer please safety to live? Yeah,
that's true, I mean yeah, and uh. In other news
out of Minneapolis, during the Derek Chauvin twild yesterday, cardiologist
testified for the prosecution that George Floyd did not have
to die that way, something we already knew. And we'll
have more of the Steve Harvey Morning Show right after this.

this one right here, right now. That's fring you. Jay,
buckle up, hold on tight, we got it for you here. Subject,

(54:02):
I don't like the gifts he buys me. Dear Stephen Shirley,
I love my husband to death. Although he and I
are different in a lot of ways. They say opposite's
a track, and we are living proof of that. He's
very successful and very frugal, to the point that he
won't shop for himself, so I have to do it.
When I met him, I started shopping with him and

(54:24):
for him, and he always complained about prices. He's also
a practical man, so he likes to have the newest
gadgets around the house for repairs and home improvement so
he doesn't have to hire anyone to do it. I'm
just the opposite. I like nice things, fine jewelry, and
fine dining. I prepare. I prefer to hire a housekeeper

(54:45):
or a handyman instead of him doing it, and I
have struggled with that from the beginning. There is also
an area that I will not compromise on. My husband
buys me crappy gifts, and I'm sick of it. He
buys things like artwork that he orders online, or heated
neck massager, the amazing copper non stick skillet, and even

(55:10):
the miraculous knife set that never gets dull. He's even
ordered me some of those leggings that make your butt
look really good. I don't ever use the stuff, so
it's sitting in our basement. I talked to him till
I'm blew in the face about buying me gifts for
our house, but he doesn't listen. And this Christmas he

(55:30):
gave me a food sealer and he ordered that he
ordered from a TV infomercial from Icy a little. I
knew you guys were gonna say that. For my anniversary
last month, he told me he was going all out
and spoiling me. He got a cake from the grocery

(55:51):
store and gave me a gold wide band clustering full
of tiny little diamonds. I took the ring back and
used a two hundred and seventy seven to get a
pair of shoes. He was offended and called me ungrateful.
M I didn't mention that I picked my own engagement
ring out. This is our fourth year of being married.
How can I get him to do better? Zi? Hold on,

(56:20):
How can I get him to do better? She asks? UM, Well,
I don't know, because there's nothing like getting gifts, bad
gifts that you know. I know how that is, especially
when you're all gassed up to think that it's going
to really be nice, like he said, and then you
know it's nothing. But the point is. The point is
he got you something, and for that you should at

(56:42):
least say thank you and be grateful. Clearly, buying you
nice gifts is just not what he does. It's not
what he does. You said, You've talked to him about it,
and still nothing because he doesn't listen and he's not
gonna change. This has been going on for four years now,
probably more than that. This is only important to you.

(57:03):
He doesn't care. And unless he's willing to give you
the money and let you buy your own gifts, or
you could take, you know, some of that stuff back
that he brought you, that's in the basement piling up,
you know, get the money off that. I just say,
pick your battles in this one. Is this worth breaking
up about? Is this worth fighting about? Is this worth
being miserable miserable about? I don't think so. I don't

(57:25):
think it is so. Just like in any other marriage
or any other relationship, you gotta take the good with
the bad. He's a bad gift buyer. Don't get your
hopes up high when it's your birthday or anniversary. He's
not gonna come through for you. But in other ways,
in other ways. You know you love your husband to death.

(57:46):
That's what you said in the letters. So I'm just
telling you just be grateful at this point, right, Just
be grateful, right, all right, Jase, Look, excuse me. The
man and I don't know if it took you for
years to realize, is that man is cheap. Okay, he's
a cheap ass and he will not pass up a sale.

(58:07):
And here's what you do. You take all them cheap
gifts that he gives you throughout the ears, and on
Christmas time you give it to relatives. You know what
I mean, They will be appreciate if that set up
away to your relatives. There's an auntie that would appreciate
a nugget bracelet that they would love it. They'd be
so happy to get it, they would they would love

(58:29):
stuff like that. Baby, this is so nither game you
think of me. Put it in a box, save it.
What else did you give? Oh? She got you know,
one of the knife set that never gets dull. She
got that. Ceila is the bomb. That is I can

(58:52):
seal up all my meats, I can put all my meats,
and the Friesian they all see it up and you
know old people leave me to the ten grace. So
get that to somebody about the heated neck bessiger Jay,
somebody old love baby, thank you so much for this.

(59:13):
Don't get a one appliances and you don't do it,
give it to somebody old. They'll appreciate it. Go ahead, Junior.
You know you know this lady is heavily ungrateful. You know,
do you know? Do you know how good these different
he is? Lady? Do you you heavy? You how late
he had to stay up to find that neck mesage

(59:36):
that ain't a re the TV commercial that come on
between two am and four am. He is thinking about you.
He loses sleep to get you. These nuns sticking the
copper pots that never stick. Whoa, I ain't got none
of them. I wish I had them. Nothing I send
the commercial cheese don't stick, your eggs won't stick stick.

(59:59):
I'm not that. And he thought about you at four
in the morning. You're heavily ungrateful. There, hang on, Heaven,
let you heavily. I'm grateful. We're gonna let you finish up, Junior,
and then we're gonna hear from the nephew. The subject

(01:00:19):
of this letter is I don't like the gifts he
buys for me. We'll have part two of you guys
responses coming up Strawberry Letter right after you're listening to
the Steve Harvey Morning Show. All right, guys, we're gonna
recap today's Strawberry letter. The subject, I don't like the
gifts he buys me. It's from a woman that loves
her husband to death, but she she hates the gifts

(01:00:42):
that he buys her. She says, there, there, there, there
are a lot of like but then they're different in
a whole lot of ways. But opposite the track, she says, Um,
you know, she shops for him. He always has the
newest gadgets on hand because he likes to do the
work if there are any repairs needed in the home himself.
She doesn't like that. She'll hire out for cleaning and

(01:01:03):
for repairs and stuff like that. She hates the gifts
that he buys her. She's into fine dining and fine
jewelry and stuff, and he's just the opposite. He's cheap,
and uh, you know, he's always trying to save a coin,
so he's he's bought her all kinds of things, like
the miraculous knife that never gets dull, the copper non

(01:01:28):
stick skillet, the leggings my favorite, my personal favorite, the
leggings that make your butt look good. Uh. Just you know.
All those gifts have piled up in the basement because
she doesn't like them. The last gift he boughter was
a wide band gold ring with a cluster of tiny diamonds.
She saw. She took that back and got her some shoes.
So um, she wants to know how can she get

(01:01:51):
him to do better? Because he's called her ungrateful and
he was offended. Junior, you had some more to add
to the woman that you called heavily and grateful, heavenly ungrateful.

(01:08:10):

When the comedian has a bad set, nobody talks to
him because you don't want to catch it. It's the
same du Yeah, you don't want that to get on you, right, right,

(01:08:55):
do you have a bad set? The comedian has a
bad set, he goes outside in the back end. Go yeah,
go outside in the back, And that's what he should
have done, went outside in the back. I don't know,
you know, you know, I don't know basketball that much,
but is there any way you can leave the game
and something like that happens to you when you should
just be able to quit for that night? I didn't.

(01:09:16):
I'm not playing no more because clearly, and he's most
of a better defender than that man. But you know,
you get called. Everybody got dunked on before the league.
It's just just that when we see it, we're like, oh,
you you that good. You're supposed to not let this happen.
I mean you are in the NBA. I mean I

thing about it, Shirley. Only good thing about it is
the Hawks did win. So that's don't go away, Junior,

(01:10:03):
the window. Let that dunt go away. Now, I'm listening,
all right, Junior. Thank you. Coming up at the top
of the hour, we'll have more of the Steve Harvey
Morning Show right after this. You're listening to the Steve
Harvey Morning Show. Here we are again asking this question
one more time. What's going on? We talked about this

(01:10:25):
earlier when a young man, Dante Wright, was shot up
in Minneapolis by a female officer who claimed she thought
she had a taser. She was firing off her taser,
but instead it was her gun and she killed him. Now,
one of the police officers accused of using excessive force
in a Virginia traffic stop has been fired following an investigation.

(01:10:47):
The town manager said this late on Sunday. The Windsor,
Virginia officers pointed guns at pepper, sprayed, and pushed a
black US Army officer to the ground during the traffic
stop last December. During the stop. The police officers believe
the army officer was missing a license plate on his
new SUV. Second Lieutenant Kroon Nazario, who is black and Latino,

(01:11:12):
is suing over the incident, claiming the two officers violated
his rights guaranteed under the First and the Fourth Amendment.
One of the officers, Joe Gautierrez, has been fired. Town
manager William Sanders, confirmed to CNN late Sunday evening. The
other officer, Daniel Crocker, is still employed by the police department. Yeah,

(01:11:35):
what's going on here? Did y'all see that video? Yeah? Yeah,
it's hard everywhere. Yeah. He was just simply asking them,
what what is it? What I done? What did I do?
You see my hands? What's going on? He's pleading with
them to take another avenue in terms of getting me
out of the car. Could you just calm down? Yeah?

(01:11:57):
What you say? You know why the elevated in their
attitude whenever they stopped a black man. It's like, damn
you get stopped. This might be your last damn day.
And every black man knows us. Everyone knows it. And
he told them he was scared. He say, I'm scared
right now. Yeah, but let me ask you guys something

(01:12:18):
as black man, and you know, and what are you
gonna say, Carla, I was gonna say, he pulled over
to a little lighted Yeah, yeah he did on purpose.
Thank god he did that. Yeah, yes, because he was afraid.
He started recording his phone because he was afraid, and
he is a veteran, and he said, I true country. Yeah,

(01:12:40):
and it is like elevated once they said, you know
once they said once he said that to the officer,
it's like it elevated, you know, they took it a
notch higher, right, Yeah, like that officer, relax, Can you
just relax? Relax? What is all this escalation about? What
is all this about? I'm just asking you, why did

(01:13:00):
you stop me? What's going on? You know? Let's see
the officer could have answered that. My opinion is that
until police offers are going to be held accountable for
the mistakes that they make instead of the city having
to pay all this money out, until the police unions
don't have to go in their budget and start paying
their money out, they will have a different attitude. But
until that changes. First of all, these cops know a

(01:13:24):
lot of them and we're not saying all cops are bad.
But we're seeing too many damn bad ones. We see
too many damn bad ones, we really are. And where
are yeah, and where are the good ones that come out,
you know and speak? Where are they talk about this
bad behavior, you know within the clue? Where are they?
But I would say this so surely too that during

(01:13:45):
the George Floyd trial, we did, Yeah, they did. And
they all the officers that have testified, even the police chief,
saying excessive force and right and we need more of that.
And one of the reasons they say that is because
it was caught on film. You know, Yeah, it was

(01:14:08):
caught on film. So of course they have to say
that this man killed him before our very eyes, you know.
But um, yes, it's sad. But I did want to
ask you guys as black men. I mean, there's no
right thing to do, of course, yeah, but you know,

(01:14:29):
for this to continually be going on, it's like we
can't even grieve George Floyd properly before here we are
with another one and another one. You know, it's like
nobody cares. They don't see us as human. They just don't.
They don't. We can't be scared, you know, to get
out of the car when we see the police. It's

(01:14:50):
sad that it's become the norm, right, Yeah, all right,
we're gonna move on. Um, we'll have more of the
Steve Harvey Morning Show at twenty minutes after the hour.
Right after this, you're listening to show. Still just so
very frustrated about what's going on in this country, in

(01:15:10):
Minneapolis and in Virginia. You know, we're it's like we're
living in this crazy cycle, right of killing, protesting trials,
killing testing trials, you know, killing, protesting trial, gun violence,
gunn all of it's the same thing. But we I

(01:15:32):
think there needs to be a change. There has to
be a change in policing. There's an issue with police
policing that you feel in this moment every single time,
every time, every time, that you were killing people right
there on the spot. Yeah, it's not it's not we
chasing a killer. It's not somebody who robbed a bank

(01:15:52):
or somebody who beat up somebody. It's a simple traffic stop.
Did you end up dead? Right? So tell me, why
wouldn't these young men be afraid to get out of
their cars? Right? Why wouldn't they you know, want to
know what's going on? Before they open that door, because
at any moment, some trigger happy cop that doesn't have

(01:16:17):
to face any consequences for what he's done could kill
them right then and there. He'll never see his family again.
He'll never you know, this is craziness. I mean, I
don't know what to say, what to do. And you're right, Carlo,
we do need better police, and we say that, And
when is that going to start? It has to start.

(01:16:38):
It has something has to change, something has to is
we have a problem in this country? Yeah, and we
got to change absolutely. All right. We'll be back with
more of the Steve Harvey Morning Show right after this.
You're listening to the Steven Show. All right, guys, it
is time not for ask a bitter man, Ask bitter man.
This ain't going to help nobody. Okay, what about to say?

(01:17:01):
Ain't nobody's gonna get no help? No n because that's
on this show. Help You ain't gonna get nothing out
of this, all right. This one's from Stacy in Detroit.
Stacy says, I'm a thirty two year old single woman
and I'm dating a man with four children. He's been
divorced for six years, and he told me he was

(01:17:22):
looking for a woman that would accept his children and
be a good stepmom. He also said he was dating
to get married, so if I wasn't serious, I needed
to let him know. We've been together for nine months
and when he has his kids at home, he expects
me to cook, clean and take care of them. Is
this a trial period to see if I can handle
the kids? Or is he just using me as a babysitter.

(01:17:44):
What he's looking for is a nanny. That's what he's
looking for. He's trying to see if you nanny material.
It ain't wife, it ain't no soul mate. Is he
needs a nanny? Now? This word needs a nanni? Now, Okay,

recently broke up with me because she says I have
low self esteem and I refuse to grow old gracefully.
This is not the case at all. I just believe
in keeping my looks so I can keep my paycheck.
Should I keep trying to get her back or moving on?
Bitcher man, here's the problem. This woman does not recognize
