Speaker 1: Today's show is pre recorded. Y'all know what time. I
Speaker 1: don't know. Y'all have a sun giving them like the
Speaker 1: million buck things in the true good together. Please, I
Speaker 1: don't join jo. You got to use that turn be hurting,
Speaker 1: you're going to you. You gotta turn to turn them out.
Speaker 1: Turn you got to turn them out. Then turn the
Speaker 1: water to the water. Go. Come come on your bad
Speaker 1: uh huh. I shall will come on and everybody y'all
Speaker 1: listening to the voice, come on dig me now wanting
Speaker 1: only Steve Harvey got a radio show. Um. Five things
Speaker 1: that I know successful people have to do to be successful.
Speaker 1: The principles are the same. You can apply it to anything,
Speaker 1: you know, if you want to be happily married, you know,
Speaker 1: whatever it is, the principles of success are the same.
Speaker 1: There are a series of things that you have to do.
Speaker 1: You cannot skip the steps of success. If you do,
Speaker 1: you're going to have to go back and step on them. Anyway.
Speaker 1: So here's here's here's here's a part man that I
Speaker 1: want you all to understand about me and and and
Speaker 1: and about how to look at it. You know, you
Speaker 1: cannot under estimate faith and prayer. You just can't. You
Speaker 1: cannot underestimate the power of faith and the power of prayer.
Speaker 1: See for me, this is just for me. Now, this
Speaker 1: ain't in the scripture nowhere. This is just something I discovered.
Speaker 1: What prayer did for me was was it tied me
Speaker 1: to my creator. It gave me a sense and I'm
Speaker 1: describing it this way, but I'm telling you it's deeper
Speaker 1: than this. But it gave me a sense that I
Speaker 1: wasn't alone and an actuality. I wasn't. But prayer helped
Speaker 1: connect me to the power source that was available to
Speaker 1: me to get through, get around, or get over whatever
Speaker 1: it was that was in a way, whether it was
Speaker 1: just a period I stretched, I had to go through
Speaker 1: hard work. It had a period I had to go
Speaker 1: through to learn some lessons, some periods I had to
Speaker 1: go through from having to pay for some of the
Speaker 1: mistakes I've made. Whatever the case may be, prayer gave
Speaker 1: me a decided advantage, especially oh here we go, Especially
Speaker 1: over my enemies. Now, the majority of people in my
Speaker 1: life that were my enemies, I didn't want them to
Speaker 1: be my enemies, Make no mistake about this. But through
Speaker 1: the thing called life, some things went down, Some things
Speaker 1: happened from here and then went over here or that way,
Speaker 1: and a person became my enemy. The majority of enemies
Speaker 1: I had came out of nowhere. I have no reason
Speaker 1: to even see why they are my enemies. But you know,
Speaker 1: life goes on, man. It happens from time to time.
Speaker 1: Some people just won't let it go. See some people,
Speaker 1: in their quest to do something to you or to
Speaker 1: make you pay, they just won't let it go. But
Speaker 1: it may cause you some discomfort, and some of them
Speaker 1: may be lies about you, and all of this and
Speaker 1: all of that, but you that that that can't prohibit
Speaker 1: you from going forward. So what I'm saying is prayer
Speaker 1: gave me the strength, wisdom understanding the carriage to either
Speaker 1: go through it, go around it, or go over it.
Speaker 1: But it happened. I do not know how I could
Speaker 1: have made it. Without faith and without prayer, it would have.
Speaker 1: Something would have got me. You Tube would have got me.
Speaker 1: The bloggers would have got me. My partners that I
Speaker 1: grew up with that used to laugh behind my back,
Speaker 1: they would have got me. My friend that would over
Speaker 1: my mother's house one time and told her, you know
Speaker 1: what Steve's problem is he out there telling them jokes.
Speaker 1: He just lazy, he don't want to work. That would
Speaker 1: have got me. They didn't know. I ain't really mad
Speaker 1: at them because they were just All they was doing
Speaker 1: was basing their conversations and passing judgment based on what
Speaker 1: they knew, based on what they believed. They didn't believe
Speaker 1: I was gonna make it. But that's them though. If
Speaker 1: it was not for the faith, which is the belief
Speaker 1: in things that you cannot see, I wouldn't have made
Speaker 1: it because I would have listened to everybody else who
Speaker 1: didn't see me getting here and went along with it.
Speaker 1: And then prayer. Oh my goodness, man, how many times
Speaker 1: has prayer bailed me out? Prayer has bailed me out?
Speaker 1: Prestiel belling me out. Tell you the truth, man, quiet
Speaker 1: as its kelt. Prayer. That connection to your health, Father,
Speaker 1: that connection to your creator, that connection to that source
Speaker 1: of power and inspiration, that connection of never feeling that
Speaker 1: you're alone. You know. I was watching a Bishop Jakes
Speaker 1: on the TV yesterday and it was a repeat and
Speaker 1: one of the things he was talking about, well, let
Speaker 1: me just get to the gist of it. I was
Speaker 1: going through a portion of my life and I and
Speaker 1: I went through it for some years y'all. I had
Speaker 1: gotten myself into a jam that lasted for years. I'm
Speaker 1: telling you, for years, with some serious consequences to follow.
Speaker 1: For years. And I was so busy looking at who
Speaker 1: I was at. I was sulking. Sometimes, Man, I'd get
Speaker 1: on the radio, Man, I'd be just done. I was sulking.
Speaker 1: My my spirit had gotten low. I had gotten tired
Speaker 1: of the fight, and I would I would come on
Speaker 1: some mornings, man, and I will try try not to
Speaker 1: let on, but I was hurting. I was because I'd
Speaker 1: been in it for years. Man, I had been in
Speaker 1: this thing for years. And one thing I was doing.
Speaker 1: I was so busy looking at where I was at.
Speaker 1: And when I was watching Bishop Jake's he preached this sermon.
Speaker 1: He was talking about so busy looking at where you
Speaker 1: at that you don't even realize that God has been
Speaker 1: with you the entire time. And you know what, Man,
Speaker 1: just yesterday, just yesterday, I heard this and I text him.
Speaker 1: I text Bishop Jakes, and I thanked him because it
Speaker 1: was an old message I could tell. And I called.
Speaker 1: I text him up and I said, Man, thank you
Speaker 1: so much. I was just watching you on TV, and
Speaker 1: you told me, Man, something that I that I'll always
Speaker 1: remember that whatever you're going through, that he's there with
Speaker 1: you the whole time. But see when sometimes when you're
Speaker 1: so busy looking at where you at, you don't even
Speaker 1: notice where he is. And see sometimes, man, that that
Speaker 1: helped me, and that's going to help me in the
Speaker 1: future to realize that what I'm going through, that he's there.
Speaker 1: He's there with me, and he gonna protect me, and
Speaker 1: he's gonna let my enemies overcome me, and he ain't
Speaker 1: gonna let nobody overtake me, and he ain't gonna let
Speaker 1: me go under because he's there. It's just you can't
Speaker 1: be so busy looking at where you at that you
Speaker 1: don't take notice or where he at. God is always there,
Speaker 1: He's always available, and the best way to tap into
Speaker 1: that and know it is you got to pray. Prayer
Speaker 1: has changed my life. Prayer can change your life. You
Speaker 1: can become something if you just pray. You're listening tow
Speaker 1: ladies and gentlemen. In honor of International Women's Day today,
Speaker 1: I would like to open the show by saying, I
Speaker 1: know you want to leave me, but I refuse to
Speaker 1: let you go if I have to beg plead with
Speaker 1: your sympathy. I don't mind, because you mean that much
Speaker 1: to me. Ain't you proud to beg these? Don't leave me? Girl?

Speaker 1: I woke up this morning full of praise and gratitude
Speaker 1: because without God I would be nothing. I don't know
Speaker 1: who you think you are. I don't care what you
Speaker 1: think you've accomplished. I'm gonna tell you right now. If

Speaker 1: All right, thank you, CLO. Happy International Women's Day coming up.
Speaker 1: It will be a tribute to the ladies right after this.
Speaker 1: You're listening to the Steve Harvey Morning Show. The events
Speaker 1: that initiated International Women's Day happened on March eighth, nineteen
Speaker 1: o eight, when fifteen thousand women marched through the streets
Speaker 1: of Manhattan demanding the right to vote and for their
Speaker 1: rights as working women. The women ask for shorter work hours,
Speaker 1: better pay, and the right to join a union. There
Speaker 1: is no mention, however, of the countless enslaved African American
Speaker 1: women who labored without pay in New York and across
Speaker 1: the country. But we celebrate and pay homage to the
Speaker 1: powerful black women that are making strides in science, technology, engineering,
Speaker 1: and math. We celebrate our first black female Vice President
Speaker 1: of the United States. We celebrate our first black former
Speaker 1: First Lady, Michelle Obama. We celebrate the first black female
Speaker 1: Supreme Court Justice Katangi Brown Jackson, Representative Maxine Waters, and
Speaker 1: in the Southwest we celebrate Representative Sheila Jackson Lee. There
Speaker 1: are countless and countless numbers of black women in the
Speaker 1: motion picture industry as creatives, producers, and writers, and in
Speaker 1: radio broadcasting. We salute the black women in this industry
Speaker 1: as well. That paved the way for Carlin and I
Speaker 1: to be able to do what we do daily and
Speaker 1: what we love to do. So thank you. Happy Women's Day,
Speaker 1: I mean this day. Yeah, all the women kings out there, absolutely,
Speaker 1: I think too. You know, we could talk about this morning.
Speaker 1: I want to throw this question to the fellas what
Speaker 1: woman in your life inspired you the most? You know,
Speaker 1: we can throw that out there. Steve m I think
Speaker 1: I think we all know. Your mama, Yeah, your mama.
Speaker 1: It loves Vera. Harvey taught me faith. M M. She
Speaker 1: just wanted me to be understand the power of prayer
Speaker 1: and and the what fine important faith, the role of
Speaker 1: faith could play in your life. She said, boy, you
Speaker 1: may not see it now, but you're gonna need it.
Speaker 1: And the more you understand that, the more comfortable your
Speaker 1: life gonna be. And she's telling to me all the time,
Speaker 1: He's I don't know. There has never been a lesson
Speaker 1: that has had a played a bigger role in my
Speaker 1: life then my mother's role of teaching me faith and
Speaker 1: prayer and just the story of Jesus Amen, I just
Speaker 1: just the whole story. I ain't memorize everything. I didn't
Speaker 1: do everything right, I sho ain't. Boy. I'm gonna tell
Speaker 1: you something that was the most valuable that I've learned.
Speaker 1: Nothing more valuable than that. That's so interesting because my
Speaker 1: story is similar as far as the lesson my mom
Speaker 1: taught me. Of course, you know us both being female.
Speaker 1: She taught me so many lessons. But the one lesson
Speaker 1: that sticks with me forever and ever is when she
Speaker 1: asked me where is your faith? Because I was going
Speaker 1: through something. I think I was having Sheridan at the time,
Speaker 1: and I was scared and I was just freaked out
Speaker 1: and everything, and she looked at me and she said,
Speaker 1: where is your faith? Then that's the moment that I
Speaker 1: realized that you have to exercise faith. You just can't
Speaker 1: talk about it. You gotta actually do it. When challenges
Speaker 1: come along, you have to be in faith. You do,
Speaker 1: and when you're in faith, it can work out for you.
Speaker 1: Of course it always works out for you. But that
Speaker 1: was a lesson she taught me as well. Where is
Speaker 1: your faith? I'll never forget those words. I've taught it
Speaker 1: to my daughter and my granddaughter. And where is your faith?
Speaker 1: You gotta have that, You gotta have that, you gotta have.
Speaker 1: My mama beat Jesus into me. I mean, just beat
Speaker 1: it into me so I get I have it, I
Speaker 1: have it. Yeah, I'm up lifting my mama on international women.
Speaker 1: Beat beat Jesus. I get you. I know him for
Speaker 1: myself now. I have had him beat into me. The
Speaker 1: only thing I was missing was them thrown on my head.
Speaker 1: I felt very much close to the story. But as
Speaker 1: you got older, your mom forgot all the beatings. They
Speaker 1: forgot it right. As soon as they get grandchildren, they forget.
Speaker 1: They don't have the same stuff. Norm I didn't do that.
Speaker 1: I didn't whoop you, mom, be the crap. Don't don't don't,
Speaker 1: don't whoop Jordan, don't whoop Jordan. He all right, he
Speaker 1: made a mistake. Don't whoop what I made a mistake?
Speaker 1: Are you? Lady? You? If we met, and I think
Speaker 1: for us in the black community, for us, it's our mother,
Speaker 1: our grandmothers, all of these women in our lives that
Speaker 1: help shape us to who we are today. You know,
Speaker 1: your sisters, aunties, all of that. So you know, we
Speaker 1: see women today, we hear women today. We're empowered by women.
Speaker 1: You know. I think for me, surely, the challenges I'm
Speaker 1: always um trying to balance having it all. Yeah, and
Speaker 1: I think that's a lot of pressure. Yeah, a lot
Speaker 1: of pressure that women put on themselves of husband, career, motherhood.
Speaker 1: And you got to set boundaries and set time for yourself,
Speaker 1: for yourself, Yeah, you absolutely do. There's nothing like mama, nothing,
Speaker 1: nothing like that. There's nothing like mother, especially growing up. Man,
Speaker 1: There's just nothing, nothing that competes against mama. Man. I
Speaker 1: watched my mama make some sacrifices, man, getting her nursing
Speaker 1: degree at twenty seven, going to school in the daytime,
Speaker 1: going to work at night, I mean for four years
Speaker 1: and I'm here, I am ten years old, got to
Speaker 1: take my sister to school just so my mama can finish,
Speaker 1: you know, the sacrifices she made, man, it's just unbelievable.
Speaker 1: And that's what makes her my hero. Man. I've watched
Speaker 1: her and especially single mom, I've washed you know, yes, yes,
Speaker 1: that's it. That's what I'm just saying. That's it, balancing
Speaker 1: all women doing it all all yea, And we celebrate

Speaker 1: Thank you nephew. Is this my house or hers? Dear
Speaker 1: Stephen Shirley, My husband and I are twenty nine years
Speaker 1: old and we got married a year ago. Our anniversary
Speaker 1: is coming up. So his parents gifted us with a house.
Speaker 1: My husband and I thought they were giving us a
Speaker 1: down payment, but without telling us, they went and picked
Speaker 1: out our house and bought it. My husband and I
Speaker 1: were working with a realtor and looking for a ranch
Speaker 1: style house with a big backyard. Our home search came
Speaker 1: to a screeching halt when his parents popped up at
Speaker 1: our house with balloons, champagne, and an iPad. They came
Speaker 1: to show us a new house on the iPad and
Speaker 1: we liked the house, but it wasn't our style. It's
Speaker 1: a two story home with the primary suite on the
Speaker 1: main floor and all of the other bedrooms are upstairs.
Speaker 1: We want to have a family, and that's not ideal
Speaker 1: for our babies. We were not pleased, but we both
Speaker 1: had to act grateful. His mother all the credit for
Speaker 1: picking out my house, so I pretended to be excited,
Speaker 1: but my husband was squeezing my hand under the table
Speaker 1: because he knew I was about to explode the idea.
Speaker 1: The deal is done and our mortgage is less than
Speaker 1: one thousand dollars a month, so we got past the
Speaker 1: initial irritation we were feeling. But now we have another
Speaker 1: dilemma with his mama. She's hired her old white friend
Speaker 1: as our interior designer and they're planning to paint my
Speaker 1: kitchen a bright yellow because it's a cheerful color. I
Speaker 1: called my husband immediately and told him he'd better come
Speaker 1: and get his mama. He said, to let his mother
Speaker 1: waste her money and we can change the paint color later.
Speaker 1: All I kept asking him was is this her house
Speaker 1: or mine? And he kept telling me to calm down,
Speaker 1: It'll be all right. Well it's not all right. Should
Speaker 1: I let him and his mama have this house? Are
Speaker 1: you crazy? Seriously crazy? Right now? I know? I mean
Speaker 1: you don't want the I mean, somebody's gonna be feeling
Speaker 1: some kind of way. I get that, especially if you
Speaker 1: say something. Do not say anything. You don't want his
Speaker 1: very generous mom and dad to be feeling any kind
Speaker 1: of way. You and your husband are missing the bigger
Speaker 1: picture here, mostly you. I mean, this is, for the
Speaker 1: most part, a free house. What do you have a
Speaker 1: thousand dollars a month mortgage? Come on, now, this is
Speaker 1: a blessing. What about blessing? Don't you get don't you understand?
Speaker 1: You guys sound so ungrateful and it's mostly you mostly you.
Speaker 1: Have you been watching the housing market lately? Do you
Speaker 1: know how much houses cost? Are you aware how hard
Speaker 1: it is to get a house? Do you have you
Speaker 1: seen the interest rates? Junior? You just bought a house?
Speaker 1: You know what I'm talking about. I mean here it
Speaker 1: is you guys, get a house, you have to pay
Speaker 1: a thousand dollars a month mortgage that they practically gave
Speaker 1: it to you, and you're complaining. Now should your mother
Speaker 1: in law be trying to decorate the house to know?
Speaker 1: She needs to stay out of that part of it
Speaker 1: except come by for dinner and stuff when you invite her.
Speaker 1: But I don't think you really understand what's happening here.
Speaker 1: You basically have a mortgage free home. You just have
Speaker 1: to pay a thousand dollars. They bought a house for you.
Speaker 1: Come on, I wouldn't say anything to them, but thank you,
Speaker 1: thank you, thank you, thank you. Don't be ungrateful. They
Speaker 1: didn't have to do this for you. The house may
Speaker 1: not be exactly what you want right now, but you
Speaker 1: can live there for a few years, save your money,
Speaker 1: sell it whatever, and get somebody that fit your family more.
Speaker 1: That's what's smart and thankful people do. Don't be stupid here.
Speaker 1: Don't be stupid. You better hope they don't hear this letter.
Speaker 1: That's all I got. Steve. Well, they gonna hear the letter,
Speaker 1: and yeah they are. Okay, here's a deal. This is.
Speaker 1: You're twenty nine years old. You don't even know yet.
Speaker 1: You have no idea what these people have actually done.
Speaker 1: You have no idea what they saved you. You're on
Speaker 1: the market looking for a house. You got to have
Speaker 1: a down payment. They give you the house that you
Speaker 1: would have had to put a down payment on, and
Speaker 1: now the down payment. As hard as it is to
Speaker 1: save lumpsms of money, you now get to keep your
Speaker 1: lump sum of money. Now you mad because she didn't
Speaker 1: got the old white lady paint your kitchen yellow. I
Speaker 1: have so many damn yellow dishes sitting up in there
Speaker 1: wouldn't be funny. I had yellow table. Cloffee be the
Speaker 1: sunniest body, is happiest free room you've ever seen in
Speaker 1: your life. I think at twenty nine, you're not looking
Speaker 1: at what this actually is. You're staring a gift horse
Speaker 1: dead in the mouth. You have been given number one.
Speaker 1: You have an instant asset and the money you were
Speaker 1: saving looking on Zillo for a house, I'll get to keep.
Speaker 1: See you. You're mad about all the wrong things, little girl.
Speaker 1: Damn I got y'all wanted the joy buying a house.
Speaker 1: Somebody gave you a house. It's so much you can do.
Speaker 1: The equity that's in a house that's already purchased, the
Speaker 1: equity that's in the house, the asset that you have.
Speaker 1: You have no idea what that's done for you. And
Speaker 1: yet and still you mad because they removed the joy
Speaker 1: of you looking for a house. You wanted a ranch
Speaker 1: style house. They got you a two story house. It
Speaker 1: ain't good for babies. You ain't even had no baby.
Speaker 1: You ain't even you know what I mean babies? You
Speaker 1: know what I mean. Family has been raised with steps.
Speaker 1: It's not ideal for baby. What ain't gonna learn how
Speaker 1: to go them downsteps? It's just you're just not looking
Speaker 1: at this the right way. When I come back, we're
Speaker 1: just gonna talk about real estate. I don't have nothing
Speaker 1: in this letter for you that surely didn't cover you.
Speaker 1: What is wrong with you? You are looking at all
Speaker 1: of the negative and have not taken one look at
Speaker 1: the positive in this and you therefore hang on. We'll
Speaker 1: come back with part two of your response to twenty
Speaker 1: three minutes after today's Strawberry letter, subject is this my
Speaker 1: house or hers? We'll get back into it right after this.
Speaker 1: You're listening, all right, Come on, Steve Let's recap today's
Speaker 1: Strawberry letter. Is this my house or hers? Well the question,
Speaker 1: let me answer that question. It's your house. She gave
Speaker 1: it to y'all. It's in y'all's name. She's just trying
Speaker 1: to be helpful. Man. She thinks she's doing you a favor,
Speaker 1: paying for a decorator, painting it for you, fixing the
Speaker 1: house up. You know you got money, you could change
Speaker 1: all that. Look your husband he rocking a hard place,
Speaker 1: his mom and his daddy and done this for y'all,
Speaker 1: and now his wife don't like it. He try and
Speaker 1: just get you be all right, and it is gonna
Speaker 1: be right. But you would you but you act like
Speaker 1: a you know, y'allking, like a spoil brat here. You're
Speaker 1: just acting like a brat. So let me explain something
Speaker 1: to you. Y'all ain't but twenty nine your anniversary coming up.
Speaker 1: Parents gifted us with a house. We can stop the
Speaker 1: letter right there. Hallelujah, Thank you Jesus. The praise dance,
Speaker 1: the parade I'm throwing for these people. I'm taking them
Speaker 1: to dinner. They get a day's International Women's Day, to
Speaker 1: be international mom and Daddy day. Right, my husband, and
Speaker 1: I thought they were giving us a down payment. Pay minute,
Speaker 1: hold up, so you ain't even had a down payment.
Speaker 1: I ain't even see that. Y'all thought they was giving
Speaker 1: you a down payment, but instead of down payment, they
Speaker 1: gave y'all the house. They picked out the house and
Speaker 1: bought it. Y'all was working with a real looking for
Speaker 1: a ranch style house with a big backyard. Then it
Speaker 1: all came to a heart when they popped up and
Speaker 1: popped up the house with balloon, champagne and iPad. They
Speaker 1: came to show y'all a new house on the iPad.
Speaker 1: We liked the house, but it wasn't our style. My
Speaker 1: first house wasn't my styleigue my first apartment wasn't my style.
Speaker 1: My first car wasn't my style. You got to start somewhere.
Speaker 1: It was a two story. Everyone, we want to have
Speaker 1: a family, and that's not IDEALFI our babies. What babies?
Speaker 1: You ain't got no babies. We were not pleased, but
Speaker 1: we both had to act grateful, Act grateful, Act grateful.
Speaker 1: These young people today, man, and this is not all
Speaker 1: young people. So let me just correct that because I
Speaker 1: know some young people right now. You walk up and
Speaker 1: get in the house you find to see a whole
Speaker 1: bunch of gratitude. We are not pleased, but we are.
Speaker 1: His mother took all the credit for picking out my house.
Speaker 1: So I pretended to be excited. My husband squeezing your
Speaker 1: hand on the table because he knew I was about
Speaker 1: to explode. The deal is done. Our mortgage is less
Speaker 1: than a thousand dollars a month. What kind of house
Speaker 1: is it? What? They didn't put enough money down? Where
Speaker 1: your mortgage is less than a thousand dollars a month? Girl,
Speaker 1: So we got past the initial irritation we were feeling.
Speaker 1: But now we have another dilemma. She then had an
Speaker 1: old white friend and they playing on painting my kitchen
Speaker 1: bright yellow because it's a cheerful color. You can go
Speaker 1: in there and say, hey, I can't paint it yellow.
Speaker 1: I really yellow doesn't do it for me. What other
Speaker 1: choices do we have? You know you could do that.
Speaker 1: I called my husband told him he better come get
Speaker 1: his mama. Come get his mamma for what. See, now
Speaker 1: you're making the man have to choose you fenn to
Speaker 1: make your mama feel bad for doing y'all a favor.
Speaker 1: You was first looking for the down payment. These people
Speaker 1: turn around, gave you a house, he said, let his money,
Speaker 1: mama waste her money, and we could change the paint color. Lately,
Speaker 1: all I kept asking, was this her house online? And
Speaker 1: he kept telling me to calm down, It'll be all right.
Speaker 1: Well should I let him and his mama had this house?
Speaker 1: Are you for real? So now this marriage that's only
Speaker 1: been a year, you're ready to walk away from him,
Speaker 1: the house and the mama. Little girl, what's wrong with you?
Speaker 1: If this all it takes to break up your marriage,
Speaker 1: you probably shouldn't have gotten married. Because I got news
Speaker 1: for you. It's way more coming than this hill. They
Speaker 1: don't gave us a free house in him paint now
Speaker 1: kitchen yellow, and didn't give us no damn payment. They're
Speaker 1: gonna buy the damn house. And then sit up here, now,
Speaker 1: this old white lady in here fitting to paint my
Speaker 1: kitchen for free, and I'm sitting up in here she
Speaker 1: hadn't picked it out, brag and talking about she hadn't
Speaker 1: picked out my house. Gonna bring some damn balloons and
Speaker 1: some champagne over here on the iPad. And now all
Speaker 1: we'd had to call these realtives and tell them don't
Speaker 1: call us no more because we messed around and got
Speaker 1: this damn free house. And she's sitting up in here
Speaker 1: taking all the credit for I don't won't know, damn
Speaker 1: free house, won't know mutgage for no underne thousand dollars.
Speaker 1: That's that's all it sounds like. And it's the stupidest
Speaker 1: thing I've ever heard. Young lady, get a grip on yourself.
Speaker 1: Here's what you can do when Shirley said it. Move
Speaker 1: in the house when you get pregnant, sell the house
Speaker 1: and go get what you want. And guess what, when
Speaker 1: you sell the house, it will give you the money
Speaker 1: to put the down payment on whatever house you want.
Speaker 1: Of a house and you didn't have a down payment
Speaker 1: or a house before, or hallelujah, keep the house, save
Speaker 1: your money, get a down payment, and now you have
Speaker 1: rental property. I don't understand how you're not looking at
Speaker 1: this girl. You you I've never said I wish somebody
Speaker 1: to this date would give me a house. Hey, jackpot,
Speaker 1: just give me a house. You can give me a
Speaker 1: house that need fixing up. I take that fix it
Speaker 1: up and flipping. I wish somebody would give me a house.
Speaker 1: Ain't no body never gave me no damn house. You
Speaker 1: are one spoil non visionary person. But the most disturbing
Speaker 1: part in this whole lot of is should I let
Speaker 1: him and his mama had his house? Yeah, gonna buy
Speaker 1: me a house and make me pay under a thousand
Speaker 1: dollars a month. So na gonna pay my kitchen yellow,
Speaker 1: I got to give me some paperwork. Wow, lady, all right,

Speaker 1: oh little fact, all right, junior, thank you, thank you,
Speaker 1: thank you. At the time of the hour, black females
Speaker 1: across the world are still reeling from Trevor Noah's powerful
Speaker 1: emotional tribute to black women. Remember when you did that
Speaker 1: back in December. Well, we'll let you hear it again.
Speaker 1: It bears repeating right after this, you're listening to Day
Speaker 1: Morning Show. No celebrity has publicly acknowledged and thanked black
Speaker 1: women quite like the former Daily Show host Trevor Noah
Speaker 1: did in his final emotional monologue. Trevor's last show was
Speaker 1: back in December, you recall, but it's words still resonate today.
Speaker 1: Take a listen special shout outs to black women. You know,
Speaker 1: I've been I've often been credited with, you know, having
Speaker 1: these grand ideas of people are like, oh, Trevor, you're
Speaker 1: so smart and you so and I'm like, I'm like,
Speaker 1: who do you think teaches me? You know, who do
Speaker 1: you think has shaped me, nourished me, informed me? You
Speaker 1: know from my mom my grand you know, my aunt
Speaker 1: told these black women in my life. But then in
Speaker 1: America as well. If you always tell people, if you
Speaker 1: truly want to learn about America, talk to black women
Speaker 1: because unlike everybody else, black women cannot afford to around
Speaker 1: and find out. Black people understand how hard it is
Speaker 1: when things go bad, especially in America, but any place
Speaker 1: where black people exist, where it's Brazil, or it's South Africa,
Speaker 1: wherever it is, when things go bad, black people know
Speaker 1: that it gets worse for them, but black women in particular,
Speaker 1: they know what is genuine. He'll always be shocked to
Speaker 1: be like, why do black women turn out the way
Speaker 1: they do in America? Why do they vote the way that? Yeah,
Speaker 1: because they know what happens if things do not go
Speaker 1: the way it should. They cannot afford to around and
Speaker 1: find out. Yes, yeah, yes, I love that. Thank you, Trevor,
Speaker 1: Noah for that. Noah, uh huh, thank you for that.
Speaker 1: That kind of put it all into perspective, you know.
Speaker 1: And Steve, you're a champion for black women, always have been.
Speaker 1: I mean, I don't know, you know, um for me,
Speaker 1: I don't know anybody. There's not a single group that
Speaker 1: is responsible and has been called on to do more
Speaker 1: in in in this not not in this country, not
Speaker 1: in this country, because black women have felt the brunt
Speaker 1: of all of these policies, whether it was the Willie
Speaker 1: Lynch letter, whether it was the three fifths of a
Speaker 1: human being, whether it was women can't vote, whether it's
Speaker 1: blacks can't vote, whether it's been voted, suppression was, this
Speaker 1: has been the two drug laws that created the mass
Speaker 1: incarceration of black men. Women. Black women have suffered the
Speaker 1: brunt of what this country does. More so than anybody,
Speaker 1: they've been on the receiving end. Now, black men, we
Speaker 1: all understand what this is. But when talking about the
Speaker 1: women who have had the coat with this, because they
Speaker 1: are oftentimes left holding the bag and they are responsible
Speaker 1: for building up the backbone, the courage, and the fort
Speaker 1: two of their men. And they've had to do it
Speaker 1: when none when when when what nobody lifting them up?
Speaker 1: And when they take their men from the welfare policy,
Speaker 1: you can't get welfare if there's a man in the house.
Speaker 1: So when a man does come around, if the social
Speaker 1: worker finds that's out, you lose your benefits. So they
Speaker 1: don't even do nothing to promote a family. You have
Speaker 1: to be on your own to receive this. And you
Speaker 1: think that's some great way of helping single women as
Speaker 1: it's a great way to keep the destruction of the
Speaker 1: family in place, which you know is far more important
Speaker 1: than any financial support. But they know that, But that
Speaker 1: policy who ends up suffering for that? Black women, women
Speaker 1: of color. They've always done that man. And that's the
Speaker 1: thing about it, man that makes them such a special
Speaker 1: breed because they are just man them women man. They
Speaker 1: next level strong, they next level strong period. That's all
Speaker 1: I could say. Well, thank you, thank you for that, sir, Yes, sir.
Speaker 1: Coming up at twenty minutes after the hour, we'll have
Speaker 1: more of the Steve Harvey Morning Show on this National

Speaker 1: Thank you, guys. We appreciate you, We love you. Happy
Speaker 1: International Women's Day to you, Carla, to you Monica, Happy
Speaker 1: International Women's Day to YouTube Shirley Monica. We hold it
Speaker 1: down every day, and we want to shout out all
Speaker 1: the women listening to the Steve Harvey Morning Shows, some
Speaker 1: soldiers and some strong women out there. We see you,
Speaker 1: We salute you, we know you, we know what y'all
Speaker 1: going through, and we love y'all. Y'all get up every day.
Speaker 1: And what about the women haters? You want to say
Speaker 1: anything to them? Not at all. That's that's where I
Speaker 1: draw the line. Yeah, we see you hate that's all.
Speaker 1: But it's all good. It was you know. My closing
Speaker 1: remarks is really uh complimentary. I don't have the makeup
Speaker 1: that women have. I could not do half the things
Speaker 1: that they do. And if you think about it, fellas,
Speaker 1: neither can you. Could you really take all that they
Speaker 1: have to take? Could you really? Could you put up
Speaker 1: with all they have to put up with? Think about
Speaker 1: who we are as men? Just think about who we
Speaker 1: really are. I'm just talking to fellas right now, and honest,
Speaker 1: who are we are? And I'm including myself in this
Speaker 1: group of all of who we are? Do you know
Speaker 1: what a woman has to do to tolerate that? Now, fellas,
Speaker 1: before you start comparing, well, they're tough too, Yes they are.
Speaker 1: They are more than a notion. Please don't thank you
Speaker 1: Finn to get one. And it's Finn to be happy
Speaker 1: sailing you you fin to get your hands on something
Speaker 1: right there. But then again, ain't it worth it? Ain't
Speaker 1: it worth it? As difficult as they can be, ain't
Speaker 1: it worth it? But now let's talk about why they
Speaker 1: are difficult. Oftentimes, Oftentimes they are forced to be what
Speaker 1: we've put them in a position to be. We don't
Speaker 1: like women who are so independent, but we've left them
Speaker 1: alone so many times they had no choice. We don't
Speaker 1: want women to be snappy and would come quick, would
Speaker 1: come back with quick comebacks. But we've talked to them crazy.
Speaker 1: You know, you want a woman to be submissive, but
Speaker 1: then you ain't giving them nothing to submit to a
Speaker 1: lot of times, you know, a lot of women would
Speaker 1: let you lead if you would show leadership qualities. I'm
Speaker 1: not talking about all men, because there's a lot of
Speaker 1: good men out here, and there's a lot of great
Speaker 1: women out here. But we got to give them credit
Speaker 1: where credit is due now, because if you had to
Speaker 1: do everything that they do, if you had to tend
Speaker 1: to all of the things that they take the time
Speaker 1: to tend to, if you had to nurture everybody that
Speaker 1: they nurtured, your parents, her parents, the kids, the grandkids,
Speaker 1: what's happening up at the school, what's happening down at
Speaker 1: the soccer game, pta meetings going here, delivering your kids,
Speaker 1: taking your kids, all these extracreuits. If you had to
Speaker 1: do all of that, how much of that would you
Speaker 1: really get done? I know I couldn't. I could. Could
Speaker 1: you have taken what they've taken throughout our history? Could
Speaker 1: you watch your men and family get sold off? Could
Speaker 1: you watch that low down slave master coming out and
Speaker 1: half his way with her? Could you could you do
Speaker 1: that and still be standing. I don't know, man, I
Speaker 1: don't know. I don't think you could. They've had to
Speaker 1: be stronger than strong. And now that we've said all that,
Speaker 1: and I haven't even began to explain to you how
Speaker 1: difficult it must be for them to try to climb
Speaker 1: the corporate letter in a man's well, Oh my god,
Speaker 1: because we saw mels the casting couches. Yeah, you're mad
Speaker 1: at you're mad? Do we madden to me too? Movement?

Speaker 1: the nerves to have the ability the only ones who

Speaker 1: the wherewithal to do half of what they do. I'm
Speaker 1: a hard worker, I'm a great provider, I'm an incredible protector.
Speaker 1: But the list of stuff that they have to be
Speaker 1: that makes us who we are, that allows us to
Speaker 1: be who we are, The things that they have in
