One 21 00:02:42,840 --> 00:02:45,800 Speaker 1: of the things that was causing it, Um, was the 22 00:02:45,800 --> 00:02:50,600 Speaker 1: fact that they had made a list of things they 23 00:02:50,639 --> 00:02:56,520 Speaker 1: wanted to accomplish by a certain age, and um that 24 00:02:56,680 --> 00:03:01,800 Speaker 1: age they just had a birthday recently, and UM they 25 00:03:01,840 --> 00:03:06,880 Speaker 1: were looking at the list and the list hadn't been fulfilled. 26 00:03:08,280 --> 00:03:13,240 Speaker 1: And because that list hadn't been fulfilled, UM, they were 27 00:03:13,360 --> 00:03:17,880 Speaker 1: really really sad about it. You know. UM one of 28 00:03:17,919 --> 00:03:22,880 Speaker 1: the things that they had on the list was marriage, kids, 29 00:03:24,320 --> 00:03:26,680 Speaker 1: And I don't know everything else that was on the list, 30 00:03:26,720 --> 00:03:29,560 Speaker 1: but that was one of them. And because she had 31 00:03:29,600 --> 00:03:32,480 Speaker 1: reached a certain age and she wasn't married, and she 32 00:03:32,520 --> 00:03:36,680 Speaker 1: didn't have the kids, and she had just celebrated her birthday, 33 00:03:37,240 --> 00:03:42,360 Speaker 1: she's gone into this uh mode of sadness whereas really 34 00:03:42,360 --> 00:03:46,680 Speaker 1: really taking a toll on and uh as as I 35 00:03:46,720 --> 00:03:53,160 Speaker 1: was learning about her situation, I was thinking about it, 36 00:03:53,440 --> 00:03:55,160 Speaker 1: and I just wanted to share this with you all 37 00:03:55,200 --> 00:04:00,160 Speaker 1: this morning that um see, one of the things is 38 00:04:00,200 --> 00:04:02,640 Speaker 1: about making a list about what you want, which I 39 00:04:02,800 --> 00:04:05,560 Speaker 1: happened to be a proponent of. I do it myself. 40 00:04:06,080 --> 00:04:09,360 Speaker 1: I have people have dream boards, I have a gold 41 00:04:09,440 --> 00:04:12,000 Speaker 1: sheet I have I've been doing it for years. It's 42 00:04:12,120 --> 00:04:15,440 Speaker 1: it's a it's a wonderful way, uh to set goals. 43 00:04:15,520 --> 00:04:17,160 Speaker 1: And to keep it in front of you as a 44 00:04:17,200 --> 00:04:20,560 Speaker 1: constant reminder. And I always go over this goal list 45 00:04:20,800 --> 00:04:22,800 Speaker 1: every day, you know, I mean I I go over 46 00:04:22,800 --> 00:04:25,880 Speaker 1: it all the time every day. Sometimes I miss a 47 00:04:26,000 --> 00:04:28,440 Speaker 1: day here and there, but but mostly every day I 48 00:04:28,520 --> 00:04:30,640 Speaker 1: pulled my gold sheet out and I look at it, 49 00:04:30,680 --> 00:04:33,280 Speaker 1: I read it. So I was going to these rallies, 50 00:04:33,320 --> 00:04:36,440 Speaker 1: and I was learning about, you know, people who were 51 00:04:36,480 --> 00:04:39,359 Speaker 1: successful in how they kept their mind writing possible. And 52 00:04:39,400 --> 00:04:41,280 Speaker 1: one of the things I learned was to make these 53 00:04:41,400 --> 00:04:45,960 Speaker 1: dream boards, these lists, these gold sheets and um and 54 00:04:46,080 --> 00:04:49,599 Speaker 1: making a gold sheet and you make the sheet according 55 00:04:49,640 --> 00:04:53,800 Speaker 1: to what you want. Think about one thing when you 56 00:04:53,920 --> 00:04:57,920 Speaker 1: made your gold sheet, about what you wanted? Does your 57 00:04:57,920 --> 00:05:00,680 Speaker 1: goal sheet have on it? What God wants from you? 58 00:05:01,880 --> 00:05:04,840 Speaker 1: Did you ask in any of this what was His 59 00:05:04,880 --> 00:05:08,640 Speaker 1: will in your life? You know? Look, man, what we 60 00:05:08,680 --> 00:05:13,560 Speaker 1: want oftentimes is not what He wants for us. And 61 00:05:13,680 --> 00:05:16,440 Speaker 1: you know, if if you're fighting against what you were 62 00:05:16,480 --> 00:05:20,440 Speaker 1: created for, if you're fighting against his will, I mean, 63 00:05:21,320 --> 00:05:24,480 Speaker 1: what do you want to happen? See, don't be so 64 00:05:24,560 --> 00:05:26,760 Speaker 1: hard on yourself when you look at your goal sheet 65 00:05:26,800 --> 00:05:29,640 Speaker 1: and you look at what you've not become what you 66 00:05:29,839 --> 00:05:32,400 Speaker 1: thought was a great idea. Don't be so hard on 67 00:05:32,440 --> 00:05:35,359 Speaker 1: yourself because you just made a minded mistake. As do 68 00:05:35,480 --> 00:05:38,640 Speaker 1: most people, we oftentimes make our goals and set our 69 00:05:38,680 --> 00:05:41,760 Speaker 1: goals up without ever considering what is it that God 70 00:05:41,839 --> 00:05:45,400 Speaker 1: wants from us, what's in his will? What's his plan 71 00:05:45,520 --> 00:05:47,440 Speaker 1: for us? You know, I was talking to some people 72 00:05:47,440 --> 00:05:49,480 Speaker 1: the other day and we were laughing about I shared 73 00:05:49,520 --> 00:05:52,279 Speaker 1: this the other day. If you want to make God laugh, 74 00:05:53,600 --> 00:05:56,839 Speaker 1: tell him your plan? How may it really? If you 75 00:05:56,960 --> 00:06:00,799 Speaker 1: really want to crack God up, tell him your plan. See, 76 00:06:00,839 --> 00:06:03,680 Speaker 1: and that's what we do. We make our plans without 77 00:06:03,720 --> 00:06:06,920 Speaker 1: including God. But listen to me. Don't be so hard 78 00:06:06,960 --> 00:06:10,240 Speaker 1: on yourself. Don't be so down and out about it 79 00:06:10,279 --> 00:06:12,240 Speaker 1: when you look at your gold sheet and you haven't 80 00:06:12,240 --> 00:06:16,080 Speaker 1: accomplished the things you wanted to accomplish. You just made 81 00:06:16,080 --> 00:06:18,520 Speaker 1: a mind a mistake, that's all, and you can correct it. 82 00:06:18,720 --> 00:06:21,920 Speaker 1: You just made a mistake that most people make. We 83 00:06:22,040 --> 00:06:25,320 Speaker 1: keep talking about what we want without ever finding out 84 00:06:25,360 --> 00:06:27,719 Speaker 1: or knowing what it is God wants for us. Well, 85 00:06:27,800 --> 00:06:31,280 Speaker 1: guess what, man, Maybe you're fighting against the grain. Maybe 86 00:06:31,279 --> 00:06:34,800 Speaker 1: you're just a salmon heading upstream. That's a tough fight upstream. 87 00:06:34,920 --> 00:06:38,000 Speaker 1: Not all salmons get up to the spawning grounds. You know. 88 00:06:38,240 --> 00:06:40,279 Speaker 1: Some of them don't make it upstream, you know, but 89 00:06:40,520 --> 00:06:43,440 Speaker 1: all of them, nearly all of them, except the ones 90 00:06:43,480 --> 00:06:45,800 Speaker 1: that's killed by pray. When they spawned, they go out 91 00:06:45,839 --> 00:06:48,520 Speaker 1: to the ocean. That's cool, because you're going because you're 92 00:06:48,560 --> 00:06:51,520 Speaker 1: going with the grain. You're going downstream, you're going with 93 00:06:51,720 --> 00:06:54,880 Speaker 1: the flow. That's but but when it's time to go 94 00:06:55,240 --> 00:06:57,719 Speaker 1: against the grain, it's tough. And a lot of us 95 00:06:57,760 --> 00:06:59,839 Speaker 1: have just been going against the grain for all of 96 00:06:59,839 --> 00:07:02,880 Speaker 1: these these years. But you know what, listen, man, I 97 00:07:02,920 --> 00:07:05,159 Speaker 1: did it. I know a lot of people who did it. 98 00:07:05,640 --> 00:07:10,280 Speaker 1: Very few people get it right from the very beginning. Man, 99 00:07:10,360 --> 00:07:13,160 Speaker 1: you got to stumble through life sometimes sometimes you got 100 00:07:13,160 --> 00:07:16,440 Speaker 1: to fall through life. You gotta make a lot of mistakes, man, 101 00:07:16,960 --> 00:07:19,320 Speaker 1: But these mistakes are not failures. You know, when you 102 00:07:19,400 --> 00:07:21,360 Speaker 1: fail at something, don't look at it as a failure. 103 00:07:21,320 --> 00:07:23,800 Speaker 1: You don't look at yourself as a failure. Because you're 104 00:07:23,880 --> 00:07:26,320 Speaker 1: thirty and and your goals ain't reach that you had 105 00:07:26,360 --> 00:07:29,760 Speaker 1: on your list, that was your list. What about the 106 00:07:29,800 --> 00:07:32,880 Speaker 1: things that's going right. Stop looking at what you're not, 107 00:07:33,880 --> 00:07:36,120 Speaker 1: Take some time out and thank God for what you are. 108 00:07:36,440 --> 00:07:38,520 Speaker 1: How about the fact that you keep waking up to 109 00:07:38,600 --> 00:07:41,280 Speaker 1: be thirty. You know, you get depressed about these birthdays. 110 00:07:41,320 --> 00:07:44,040 Speaker 1: You really want to throw yourself in some depression. Miss 111 00:07:44,040 --> 00:07:47,520 Speaker 1: a birthday, You really got a problem. Now look at 112 00:07:47,560 --> 00:07:51,880 Speaker 1: where you are. You keep reaching birthdays. That's a glorious blessing. 113 00:07:52,080 --> 00:07:55,440 Speaker 1: You keep waking up. You got your health, You've accomplished something. 114 00:07:55,640 --> 00:07:59,120 Speaker 1: Something on your list is done. People spend too much 115 00:07:59,200 --> 00:08:02,240 Speaker 1: time on the negative side, and you're just throwing yourself 116 00:08:02,280 --> 00:08:04,720 Speaker 1: into depression. So what you want to be married by 117 00:08:04,720 --> 00:08:07,559 Speaker 1: a certain age and you wanted to have kids. Okay, cool, 118 00:08:07,680 --> 00:08:09,720 Speaker 1: you could have done all that with the wrong person. 119 00:08:10,400 --> 00:08:13,800 Speaker 1: There's a blessing in not being married to the wrong person. 120 00:08:14,040 --> 00:08:16,440 Speaker 1: There's a blessing in not having kids and nobody to 121 00:08:16,480 --> 00:08:18,600 Speaker 1: help you raise it. There's a blessing in that man. 122 00:08:18,840 --> 00:08:20,880 Speaker 1: You're talking to somebody who can tell it to you. 123 00:08:20,880 --> 00:08:23,200 Speaker 1: You can marry the wrong person if you want to. 124 00:08:23,840 --> 00:08:25,960 Speaker 1: I'm telling you you're gonna be up in some mess 125 00:08:26,000 --> 00:08:29,600 Speaker 1: you can't count on. So instead of being angry because 126 00:08:29,640 --> 00:08:32,080 Speaker 1: you're not married, you don't have kids, why don't you 127 00:08:32,120 --> 00:08:34,320 Speaker 1: thank God the man. Maybe he spared you from some 128 00:08:34,400 --> 00:08:36,800 Speaker 1: misery here. Maybe you could have married the wrong person. 129 00:08:36,920 --> 00:08:38,840 Speaker 1: Maybe you have kids and you're not really ready to 130 00:08:38,880 --> 00:08:41,120 Speaker 1: be a mother or a father. You gotta look at 131 00:08:41,160 --> 00:08:44,160 Speaker 1: the upside, man, Quit looking at what you don't have. 132 00:08:44,600 --> 00:08:47,000 Speaker 1: Take some time to thank God for what you do have. 133 00:08:47,280 --> 00:08:49,920 Speaker 1: When you do that, you make more room for blessings 134 00:08:50,000 --> 00:08:53,280 Speaker 1: to flow into your life. I'm not saying how God thinks, 135 00:08:53,280 --> 00:08:57,880 Speaker 1: because I really don't know, but I'm telling you, if 136 00:08:57,920 --> 00:09:00,280 Speaker 1: a person comes to me and always give up hurting 137 00:09:00,440 --> 00:09:03,320 Speaker 1: something and they never appear grateful, or they never say 138 00:09:03,400 --> 00:09:08,040 Speaker 1: thank you, please, no, you can quit coming to me now, don't. 139 00:09:08,120 --> 00:09:11,000 Speaker 1: I don't know that's how God works because I've gone 140 00:09:11,040 --> 00:09:14,480 Speaker 1: back to him several times without being grateful of thanking him, 141 00:09:14,480 --> 00:09:18,000 Speaker 1: and he's feeling my basket up again. So I really 142 00:09:18,040 --> 00:09:20,440 Speaker 1: think he's not like that. But I can't make the 143 00:09:20,520 --> 00:09:24,920 Speaker 1: call for sure. But I think at one point in time, me, 144 00:09:25,160 --> 00:09:27,640 Speaker 1: just just me talking, i'd be a little ticked off 145 00:09:27,679 --> 00:09:31,600 Speaker 1: at somebody who was always taken, taking, taking, and never 146 00:09:31,679 --> 00:09:34,559 Speaker 1: showing any gratitude. At one point in time, I would 147 00:09:34,559 --> 00:09:37,520 Speaker 1: just stop the flow of the take. You know, you 148 00:09:37,640 --> 00:09:39,840 Speaker 1: just you can't take no more from me. That's what 149 00:09:39,920 --> 00:09:42,600 Speaker 1: I would do. Now. I'm not calling it like that 150 00:09:42,679 --> 00:09:45,760 Speaker 1: because I ain't him, but I know he's merciful, He's 151 00:09:45,800 --> 00:09:48,319 Speaker 1: full of goodness and here and then and he'll forgive you. 152 00:09:48,720 --> 00:09:51,079 Speaker 1: And thank God he does that because he's shown enough, 153 00:09:51,120 --> 00:09:53,840 Speaker 1: done it for me. But wow, man, take some time 154 00:09:53,840 --> 00:09:56,280 Speaker 1: out today and be grateful for what you have. Stop 155 00:09:56,320 --> 00:09:59,600 Speaker 1: complaining about where you're not, and think about where you are, 156 00:10:00,080 --> 00:10:02,280 Speaker 1: and then take it from there. And then next time 157 00:10:02,320 --> 00:10:04,800 Speaker 1: you make a list, make sure on that list you 158 00:10:04,880 --> 00:10:08,280 Speaker 1: have God's will? What does he want for you? God 159 00:10:08,360 --> 00:10:11,040 Speaker 1: create gift everybody a gift and a talent. Some of 160 00:10:11,160 --> 00:10:13,839 Speaker 1: us never apply gifts and talents. We head off in 161 00:10:13,880 --> 00:10:16,640 Speaker 1: another direction. Then you wonder why your life ain't ware 162 00:10:16,760 --> 00:10:19,400 Speaker 1: supposed to be. Have you ever thought about what God 163 00:10:19,440 --> 00:10:21,920 Speaker 1: gifted you to do? Have you ever thought about doing that? 164 00:10:21,960 --> 00:10:24,120 Speaker 1: And still skip what you want? I wanted to play 165 00:10:24,160 --> 00:10:27,080 Speaker 1: in the NBA, But I gotta tell you something.

I personally can think of 174 00:11:07,920 --> 00:11:13,800 Speaker 1: no person, for me personally, who has had a greater 175 00:11:14,000 --> 00:11:19,280 Speaker 1: impact on my life as a man outside of my 176 00:11:19,520 --> 00:11:23,280 Speaker 1: father and the way he raised me than Martin Luther King. 177 00:11:23,760 --> 00:11:26,880 Speaker 1: I think his contribution to this country is one of 178 00:11:26,880 --> 00:11:31,920 Speaker 1: the greatest contributions, your greatest contributions made by a man 179 00:11:32,720 --> 00:11:36,760 Speaker 1: in American fabric, the fiber of this country. I think 180 00:11:37,280 --> 00:11:40,160 Speaker 1: Mary Luther King had more to do to shape it 181 00:11:40,440 --> 00:11:47,040 Speaker 1: to date than anyone in my lifetime. I should say 182 00:11:44,880 --> 00:11:49,560 Speaker 1: what I mean, really, for me, I don't know anyone 183 00:11:49,600 --> 00:11:55,120 Speaker 1: who's made a more major contribution in the way America 184 00:11:55,440 --> 00:12:00,360 Speaker 1: is today than Martin Luther King. That's to take nothing 185 00:12:00,400 --> 00:12:03,960 Speaker 1: away from no one else. And it lives on. It 186 00:12:04,000 --> 00:12:09,760 Speaker 1: lives on. Chris Steve.

You're listening to the Steve Harvey 218 00:14:25,400 --> 00:14:30,320 Speaker 1: Morning Show right now. Here's the drum major instin speech 219 00:14:30,360 --> 00:14:34,560 Speaker 1: on the Steve Harvey Morning Show. An instinct. It's a 220 00:14:34,720 --> 00:14:39,360 Speaker 1: kind of drum major instinct. A desire to be out front, 221 00:14:40,600 --> 00:14:45,320 Speaker 1: a desire to lead the parade, a desire to be first. 222 00:14:47,280 --> 00:14:52,080 Speaker 1: It is something that runs a whole gamut of life. 223 00:14:53,640 --> 00:14:59,080 Speaker 1: And so before we condemned them, let us see that 224 00:14:59,160 --> 00:15:03,640 Speaker 1: we all have of the drum major instinct. We all 225 00:15:03,680 --> 00:15:10,359 Speaker 1: want to be important, to surpass others, to achieve distinction, 226 00:15:11,760 --> 00:15:20,000 Speaker 1: to lead the parade. Alfred Adler, the Great a Psychoanalysts, 227 00:15:20,080 --> 00:15:26,600 Speaker 1: contends that this is the dominant impulse. Sigmund Fraud used 228 00:15:26,640 --> 00:15:31,160 Speaker 1: to contend that sex was the dominant impulse, and addlacame 229 00:15:31,280 --> 00:15:35,359 Speaker 1: with a new argument saying that this quest for recognition, 230 00:15:35,440 --> 00:15:43,920 Speaker 1: this desire for attention. This desire for distinction is the 231 00:15:43,960 --> 00:15:49,960 Speaker 1: basic impulse, the basic drive of human human life, this 232 00:15:50,960 --> 00:15:55,880 Speaker 1: drum major instinct. And you know, we begin earlier to 233 00:15:56,000 --> 00:16:01,880 Speaker 1: ask life to put us first. Our first cry as 234 00:16:01,920 --> 00:16:08,440 Speaker 1: a baby was a bid for attention, and all through 235 00:16:08,600 --> 00:16:15,240 Speaker 1: childhood the drum major impulse or instinct is a major obsession. 236 00:16:17,040 --> 00:16:25,400 Speaker 1: Children ask life to grant them first place. They are 237 00:16:25,400 --> 00:16:34,680 Speaker 1: a little bundle of ego. They have innately the drum 238 00:16:34,760 --> 00:16:40,400 Speaker 1: major instinct. Now in adult life we still have it, 239 00:16:40,560 --> 00:16:45,760 Speaker 1: and we really never get by it. We like to 240 00:16:45,800 --> 00:16:49,280 Speaker 1: do something good, and you know, we like to be 241 00:16:49,440 --> 00:16:54,920 Speaker 1: praised for it. Now, if you don't believe that, you 242 00:16:55,080 --> 00:16:58,320 Speaker 1: just go on living life and you will discover very 243 00:16:58,360 --> 00:17:03,160 Speaker 1: soon that you like to be prayed eased. Everybody likes it, 244 00:17:03,240 --> 00:17:08,480 Speaker 1: as a matter of fact, and somehow this warm glow 245 00:17:08,640 --> 00:17:12,840 Speaker 1: we feel when we are praised or when our name 246 00:17:13,200 --> 00:17:17,560 Speaker 1: is in print is something of the vitamin aide to 247 00:17:17,720 --> 00:17:25,200 Speaker 1: our ego. Nobody is unhappy when they are praised, even 248 00:17:25,359 --> 00:17:27,639 Speaker 1: if they know they don't deserve it, and even if 249 00:17:27,680 --> 00:17:32,120 Speaker 1: they don't believe it. The only unhappy people about praise 250 00:17:32,320 --> 00:17:36,080 Speaker 1: is when that praise is going too much towards somebody else, 251 00:17:37,680 --> 00:17:43,200 Speaker 1: but everybody likes to be praised because of this real 252 00:17:43,520 --> 00:17:48,520 Speaker 1: drum major instinct. Do you know that a lot of 253 00:17:48,560 --> 00:17:52,720 Speaker 1: the race problem grows out of the drum major instinct. 254 00:17:54,119 --> 00:18:00,280 Speaker 1: A need that some people have to feel superior h 255 00:18:01,080 --> 00:18:04,800 Speaker 1: A need that some people have to feel that they 256 00:18:05,080 --> 00:18:09,920 Speaker 1: are first, and to feel that their white skin ordained 257 00:18:10,200 --> 00:18:17,080 Speaker 1: them to be first. They have said over and over 258 00:18:17,119 --> 00:18:23,320 Speaker 1: the game in ways that we see with our own eyes. 259 00:18:23,440 --> 00:18:26,320 Speaker 1: In fact, not too long ago, a man down in 260 00:18:26,400 --> 00:18:30,680 Speaker 1: Mississippi said that God was a child, a member or 261 00:18:30,760 --> 00:18:39,160 Speaker 1: the White Citizens Council. And so God being the child 262 00:18:39,200 --> 00:18:43,399 Speaker 1: a member means that everybody who's in that has a 263 00:18:43,600 --> 00:18:47,800 Speaker 1: kind of divinity, a kind of superiority. And think of 264 00:18:47,880 --> 00:18:52,840 Speaker 1: what has happened in historism as a result, this perverted 265 00:18:53,000 --> 00:18:57,240 Speaker 1: use of the drum mage instinct led to the most 266 00:18:57,320 --> 00:19:02,480 Speaker 1: tragic prejudice, the most tragic expressions of man's in humanity 267 00:19:02,520 --> 00:19:06,560 Speaker 1: to man, I mean, not only does this thing going 268 00:19:06,680 --> 00:19:12,800 Speaker 1: to the racial struggle, goes into the struggle between nations. 269 00:19:13,840 --> 00:19:16,439 Speaker 1: And I would submit to you this morning that what 270 00:19:16,680 --> 00:19:18,679 Speaker 1: is wrong in the world today is that the nations 271 00:19:18,720 --> 00:19:23,040 Speaker 1: of the world engaged in a bitter, colossal contest for supremacy, 272 00:19:25,280 --> 00:19:29,200 Speaker 1: and some doesn't having to stop this trend. I'm sorely 273 00:19:29,200 --> 00:19:34,000 Speaker 1: afraid that we won't be here to talk about Jesus 274 00:19:34,080 --> 00:19:40,960 Speaker 1: Christ and about God and about brotherhood too many more years. 275 00:19:41,000 --> 00:19:46,400 Speaker 1: Somebody done bringing into this suicidal thrust that we see 276 00:19:46,400 --> 00:19:50,520 Speaker 1: in the world today. None of us are gonna be 277 00:19:50,560 --> 00:19:54,600 Speaker 1: around because somebody is gonna make the mistake through our 278 00:19:54,840 --> 00:19:59,480 Speaker 1: senseless blunderings, of dropping a nuclear bomb somewhere, and then 279 00:19:59,520 --> 00:20:02,960 Speaker 1: another one is gonna drop. And don't let anybody fool you. 280 00:20:05,040 --> 00:20:08,080 Speaker 1: This can happen within a matter of seconds. They have 281 00:20:08,200 --> 00:20:12,560 Speaker 1: twenty megaton bombs in Russia right now that can destroy 282 00:20:12,720 --> 00:20:15,160 Speaker 1: US city as big as New York in three seconds, 283 00:20:15,200 --> 00:20:18,800 Speaker 1: with everybody right away in every building. And we can 284 00:20:18,840 --> 00:20:21,320 Speaker 1: do the same thing to Russian China. But this is 285 00:20:21,359 --> 00:20:25,280 Speaker 1: why we are drifted, and we are drifting down because 286 00:20:25,480 --> 00:20:29,200 Speaker 1: nations are caught up with the German major instinct. I 287 00:20:29,280 --> 00:20:33,040 Speaker 1: must be first, I must be supreme all A nation 288 00:20:33,200 --> 00:20:37,760 Speaker 1: must rule the world. And I am sad to say 289 00:20:37,840 --> 00:20:41,840 Speaker 1: that the nation in which we live is the supreme culprit. 290 00:20:42,960 --> 00:20:45,280 Speaker 1: And I'm going to continue to say it to America 291 00:20:46,480 --> 00:20:49,399 Speaker 1: because I love this country too much to see the 292 00:20:49,520 --> 00:20:54,159 Speaker 1: drift that it has taken. God didn't call America to 293 00:20:54,240 --> 00:20:58,080 Speaker 1: do what she's doing in the world now. God didn't 294 00:20:58,119 --> 00:21:02,960 Speaker 1: call America to engage in a senseless, unjust war as 295 00:21:02,960 --> 00:21:07,000 Speaker 1: a war in Vietnam. And we are criminals in that war. 296 00:21:07,119 --> 00:21:10,359 Speaker 1: We have committed more war crimes almost than any nation 297 00:21:10,400 --> 00:21:12,400 Speaker 1: in the world. And I'm gonna continue to say it, 298 00:21:13,080 --> 00:21:17,240 Speaker 1: and we won't stop it because of our pride and 299 00:21:17,320 --> 00:21:20,880 Speaker 1: I arrogant sas the nation. But God has a way 300 00:21:20,920 --> 00:21:24,080 Speaker 1: of even put nations in their place. The God that 301 00:21:24,200 --> 00:21:27,920 Speaker 1: I worship has a way of saying, don't play with me. 302 00:21:29,640 --> 00:21:33,199 Speaker 1: He has a way of saying. Is the God of 303 00:21:33,240 --> 00:21:37,320 Speaker 1: the Old Testament used to say the Hebrews, don't play 304 00:21:37,359 --> 00:21:42,560 Speaker 1: with me? Is Isum, don't play with Snith Babylon. Be 305 00:21:42,800 --> 00:21:47,679 Speaker 1: still and know that I'm God. If you don't stop 306 00:21:47,720 --> 00:21:51,480 Speaker 1: your reckless course, I'll rise up and break the backbone 307 00:21:51,520 --> 00:21:57,479 Speaker 1: of your power. That can happen to America. Every now 308 00:21:57,520 --> 00:22:00,119 Speaker 1: and then I go back and read Gibbons declar and 309 00:22:00,200 --> 00:22:03,159 Speaker 1: the Fall of the Roman Empire. When I come and 310 00:22:03,440 --> 00:22:07,840 Speaker 1: look at America, I say to myself, the parallels are frightening. 311 00:22:07,960 --> 00:22:13,200 Speaker 1: We'll be right back, y'all you're listening to Welcome back 312 00:22:13,200 --> 00:22:15,280 Speaker 1: to the ride. We will continue with more of Dr 313 00:22:15,400 --> 00:22:20,040 Speaker 1: King's the drum major instinct speech. Nobody is unhappy when 314 00:22:20,040 --> 00:22:23,520 Speaker 1: they are praised, even if they know they don't deserve it, 315 00:22:23,680 --> 00:22:27,600 Speaker 1: and even if they don't believe it. The only unhappy 316 00:22:27,640 --> 00:22:31,000 Speaker 1: people about praise is when that praise is going too 317 00:22:31,119 --> 00:22:36,920 Speaker 1: much towards somebody else. But everybody likes to be praised 318 00:22:36,960 --> 00:22:43,840 Speaker 1: because of this real drum major instinct. Do you know 319 00:22:44,480 --> 00:22:47,560 Speaker 1: that a lot of the race problem grows out of 320 00:22:47,680 --> 00:22:52,480 Speaker 1: the drum major instinct. I need that some people have 321 00:22:53,760 --> 00:22:59,800 Speaker 1: to feel superior. I need that some people have to 322 00:23:00,200 --> 00:23:04,400 Speaker 1: feel that they are first, and to feel that their 323 00:23:04,560 --> 00:23:12,840 Speaker 1: white skin ordained them to be first. They have said 324 00:23:12,920 --> 00:23:18,080 Speaker 1: over and over the game in ways that we see 325 00:23:18,920 --> 00:23:21,440 Speaker 1: with our own eyes. In fact, not too long ago, 326 00:23:21,480 --> 00:23:25,520 Speaker 1: a man down in Mississippis said that God was a 327 00:23:25,600 --> 00:23:33,800 Speaker 1: child a member or the White Citizens Council. And so 328 00:23:34,640 --> 00:23:38,200 Speaker 1: God being the child a member means that everybody who's 329 00:23:38,280 --> 00:23:43,639 Speaker 1: in that has a kind of divinity, a kind of superiority. 330 00:23:43,880 --> 00:23:46,320 Speaker 1: And think of what has happened in historism as a 331 00:23:46,400 --> 00:23:53,240 Speaker 1: result this perverted use of the drum mage instinct led 332 00:23:53,280 --> 00:23:57,560 Speaker 1: to the most tragic prejudice, the most tragic expressions of 333 00:23:57,680 --> 00:24:03,600 Speaker 1: man's inhumanity to man. I mean, not only does this 334 00:24:03,760 --> 00:24:09,679 Speaker 1: thing go into the racial struggle, it goes into the 335 00:24:09,760 --> 00:24:13,760 Speaker 1: struggle between nations. And I would submit to you this 336 00:24:13,840 --> 00:24:16,359 Speaker 1: morning that what is wrong in the world today is 337 00:24:16,359 --> 00:24:18,800 Speaker 1: that the nations of the world engaged in a bitter, 338 00:24:19,240 --> 00:24:25,000 Speaker 1: colossal contest for supremacy. And if some doesn't having to 339 00:24:25,040 --> 00:24:30,320 Speaker 1: stop this trend, I'm sorely afraid that we won't be 340 00:24:30,400 --> 00:24:33,960 Speaker 1: here to talk about Jesus Christ and about God and 341 00:24:34,000 --> 00:24:42,080 Speaker 1: about brotherhood too many more years. Somebody done bringing into 342 00:24:42,119 --> 00:24:46,159 Speaker 1: this suicidal thrust that we see in the world today. 343 00:24:47,840 --> 00:24:51,359 Speaker 1: None of us are gonna be around because somebody is 344 00:24:51,400 --> 00:24:55,520 Speaker 1: gonna make the mistake, through our senseless blunderings, of dropping 345 00:24:55,800 --> 00:24:59,119 Speaker 1: a nuclear bomb somewhere, and then another one is gonna drop. 346 00:24:59,440 --> 00:25:04,480 Speaker 1: And don't at anybody fool you, this can happen within 347 00:25:04,520 --> 00:25:08,119 Speaker 1: a matter of seconds. They have twenty megaton bombs in 348 00:25:08,240 --> 00:25:11,920 Speaker 1: Russia right now that can destroy US city as big 349 00:25:11,920 --> 00:25:15,119 Speaker 1: as New York in three seconds, with everybody ripe away 350 00:25:15,280 --> 00:25:17,920 Speaker 1: in every building. And we can do the same thing 351 00:25:17,960 --> 00:25:20,600 Speaker 1: to Russian China. But this is why we are drifted, 352 00:25:20,800 --> 00:25:24,959 Speaker 1: and we are drifting down because nations are caught up 353 00:25:25,000 --> 00:25:29,040 Speaker 1: with the German major instinct. I must be first, I 354 00:25:29,119 --> 00:25:32,639 Speaker 1: must be supreme. Our a nation must rule the world. 355 00:25:33,600 --> 00:25:37,040 Speaker 1: And I am sad to say that the nation in 356 00:25:37,080 --> 00:25:41,720 Speaker 1: which we live is the supreme culprit. And I'm going 357 00:25:41,800 --> 00:25:45,600 Speaker 1: to continue to say it to America because I love 358 00:25:45,680 --> 00:25:48,439 Speaker 1: this country too much to see the drift that it 359 00:25:48,480 --> 00:25:53,240 Speaker 1: has taken. God didn't call America to do what she's 360 00:25:53,280 --> 00:25:57,639 Speaker 1: doing in the world now. God didn't call America to 361 00:25:57,800 --> 00:26:01,600 Speaker 1: engage in a senseless, un just war as a war 362 00:26:01,680 --> 00:26:05,560 Speaker 1: in Vietnam, and we are criminals in that war. We 363 00:26:05,600 --> 00:26:08,840 Speaker 1: have committed more war crimes almost than any nation in 364 00:26:08,880 --> 00:26:11,560 Speaker 1: the world. And I'm gonna continue to say it, and 365 00:26:11,600 --> 00:26:15,760 Speaker 1: we won't stop it because of our pride and I 366 00:26:15,960 --> 00:26:19,840 Speaker 1: arrogant sasination. But God has a way of even put 367 00:26:19,960 --> 00:26:23,640 Speaker 1: nations in that place. The God that I worship has 368 00:26:23,720 --> 00:26:29,560 Speaker 1: a way of saying, don't play with me. He has 369 00:26:29,600 --> 00:26:33,000 Speaker 1: a way of saying. Is the God of the Old 370 00:26:33,080 --> 00:26:37,359 Speaker 1: Testament used to say the Hebrews don't play with me, Israel, 371 00:26:38,600 --> 00:26:43,480 Speaker 1: don't play with me Babylon, be still and know that 372 00:26:43,600 --> 00:26:48,359 Speaker 1: I'm God. If you don't stop your reckless course, I'll 373 00:26:48,480 --> 00:26:53,840 Speaker 1: rise up and break the backbone of your power. That 374 00:26:53,880 --> 00:26:57,439 Speaker 1: can happen to America. Every now and then I go 375 00:26:57,560 --> 00:27:01,040 Speaker 1: back and read Gibbons Decline and Fall of the Roman Empire. 376 00:27:01,840 --> 00:27:05,400 Speaker 1: When I come and look at America, I'll say to myself, 377 00:27:05,640 --> 00:27:13,320 Speaker 1: the parallels are frightening. We have perverted the drum mage instinct. 378 00:27:15,160 --> 00:27:20,840 Speaker 1: Everynine and then, I guess we all think realistically about 379 00:27:20,880 --> 00:27:25,439 Speaker 1: that day when we will be victimized with what is 380 00:27:25,520 --> 00:27:34,280 Speaker 1: life's final common denominator. That's something we called death. We 381 00:27:34,359 --> 00:27:36,800 Speaker 1: all think about it, and never none. Then I think 382 00:27:36,840 --> 00:27:41,360 Speaker 1: about my own death, and I think about my own funeral, 383 00:27:41,760 --> 00:27:43,719 Speaker 1: and I don't think of it in a morbid sense. 384 00:27:45,560 --> 00:27:49,680 Speaker 1: Every nine then I asked myself what is it that 385 00:27:49,800 --> 00:27:52,960 Speaker 1: I would want say? And I leave the word to 386 00:27:53,040 --> 00:27:58,000 Speaker 1: you this morning. If any of you are wrong, when 387 00:27:58,080 --> 00:28:00,639 Speaker 1: I have to meet my day, I don't want to 388 00:28:00,720 --> 00:28:05,879 Speaker 1: Long funeral. And if you get somebody here to deliver 389 00:28:05,920 --> 00:28:07,840 Speaker 1: the unit, you tell him not to talk to Long 390 00:28:09,640 --> 00:28:12,160 Speaker 1: every night, and I wonder what I want him to say. 391 00:28:12,240 --> 00:28:14,800 Speaker 1: Tell him not to mention that I have a Nobel 392 00:28:14,920 --> 00:28:18,840 Speaker 1: Peace Prize. That isn't important. Tell him not to mention 393 00:28:19,280 --> 00:28:22,399 Speaker 1: that I have three or four hundred of awards. That's 394 00:28:22,400 --> 00:28:24,600 Speaker 1: not important. Tell him not to mention where I went 395 00:28:24,640 --> 00:28:30,119 Speaker 1: to school. I like somebody to mention that day that 396 00:28:30,359 --> 00:28:34,680 Speaker 1: Mordein Luther King Junior tried to give his life serving 397 00:28:34,760 --> 00:28:38,840 Speaker 1: of us. I'd like for somebody to say that day 398 00:28:39,160 --> 00:28:43,560 Speaker 1: that Martin Luther King Junior tried to love somebody. I 399 00:28:43,600 --> 00:28:45,920 Speaker 1: want you to say that day that I tried to 400 00:28:45,960 --> 00:28:49,520 Speaker 1: be right on the wall question. I want you to 401 00:28:49,560 --> 00:28:53,040 Speaker 1: be able to say that day that I did try 402 00:28:53,480 --> 00:28:56,600 Speaker 1: to feed the hungry. I want you to be able 403 00:28:56,640 --> 00:28:59,760 Speaker 1: to say that day that I did try in my 404 00:29:00,520 --> 00:29:03,520 Speaker 1: to call those who were naked. I want you to 405 00:29:03,560 --> 00:29:06,320 Speaker 1: say on that day that I did try in my 406 00:29:06,400 --> 00:29:10,320 Speaker 1: life to physic those who were imprisoned. I want you 407 00:29:10,360 --> 00:29:16,200 Speaker 1: to say that I tried to love and serve humanity. Yes, 408 00:29:16,320 --> 00:29:18,960 Speaker 1: if you want to say that I was a drum major, 409 00:29:19,520 --> 00:29:23,000 Speaker 1: say that I was a drum major for justice, Say 410 00:29:23,040 --> 00:29:26,040 Speaker 1: that I was a drum major for peace. I was 411 00:29:26,080 --> 00:29:29,480 Speaker 1: a drum major for righteousness. And all of the other 412 00:29:29,880 --> 00:29:33,600 Speaker 1: shall of things will nothing matter. I won't have any 413 00:29:33,720 --> 00:29:38,680 Speaker 1: money to leave behind. I won't have the fine and 414 00:29:38,760 --> 00:29:41,920 Speaker 1: luxurious things of life to leave behind. But I just 415 00:29:42,080 --> 00:29:46,400 Speaker 1: want to leave or committed life behind. And that's all 416 00:29:46,440 --> 00:29:50,120 Speaker 1: I want to say. If I can help somebody as 417 00:29:50,160 --> 00:29:54,120 Speaker 1: I passed along, if I can cheer somebody with a 418 00:29:54,240 --> 00:29:58,440 Speaker 1: word of song, if I can show somebody he's traveling wrong, 419 00:29:59,000 --> 00:30:03,320 Speaker 1: then my living will not be in vain. If I 420 00:30:03,360 --> 00:30:06,120 Speaker 1: can do my duty as a Christian, or if I 421 00:30:06,160 --> 00:30:10,280 Speaker 1: can bring salvation to a wall who wants wrote, if 422 00:30:10,320 --> 00:30:14,880 Speaker 1: I can spread the message as the Master talked, then 423 00:30:15,000 --> 00:30:19,960 Speaker 1: my living will not be in vain. Yes, Jesus, I 424 00:30:20,000 --> 00:30:21,880 Speaker 1: want to be on your right or your left side, 425 00:30:22,640 --> 00:30:26,200 Speaker 1: not for a selfish reason. I want to be on 426 00:30:26,240 --> 00:30:30,160 Speaker 1: your right or your left side, not in times of 427 00:30:30,360 --> 00:30:34,040 Speaker 1: some political kingdom or ambition. And I just wanna be 428 00:30:34,240 --> 00:30:39,440 Speaker 1: there in love and injustice and attention to Steve Harvey Nation. 429 00:30:39,520 --> 00:30:41,920 Speaker 1: On this King Holiday, I want to see y'all giving 430 00:30:41,920 --> 00:30:44,520 Speaker 1: back today.

Okay, we'll be right back, y'all. You're 436 00:30:59,400 --> 00:31:06,120 Speaker 1: listening Steve Harvey Morning Show. Today is King Holiday and 437 00:31:06,240 --> 00:31:09,600 Speaker 1: we're celebrating now. Do you guys remember last year when 438 00:31:09,640 --> 00:31:13,800 Speaker 1: President Obama gave his farewell speech to the nation. It 439 00:31:13,840 --> 00:31:17,920 Speaker 1: was an emotional, emotional speech that sought to comfort the 440 00:31:17,920 --> 00:31:20,600 Speaker 1: country because a lot of Americans were on edge with 441 00:31:20,640 --> 00:31:25,000 Speaker 1: the election of Mr. Donald Trump. And here we are 442 00:31:25,320 --> 00:31:29,800 Speaker 1: a year later. Take a listen. Change only happens when 443 00:31:29,920 --> 00:31:33,480 Speaker 1: ordinary people get involved, and they get engaged, and they 444 00:31:33,520 --> 00:31:38,560 Speaker 1: come together to demand it. After eight years as your president, 445 00:31:38,600 --> 00:31:41,800 Speaker 1: I still believe that. And it's not just my belief. 446 00:31:43,680 --> 00:31:48,040 Speaker 1: It's the beating heart of our American idea, our bold 447 00:31:48,080 --> 00:31:52,520 Speaker 1: experiment in self government. It's the conviction that we are 448 00:31:52,600 --> 00:31:58,240 Speaker 1: all created, even endowed by our creator, with certain unalienable rights, 449 00:31:59,240 --> 00:32:03,920 Speaker 1: among them like liberty and the pursuit of happens. It's 450 00:32:03,960 --> 00:32:09,080 Speaker 1: the insistence that these rights, while self evident, have never 451 00:32:09,120 --> 00:32:14,480 Speaker 1: been self executed. That we the people, through the instrument 452 00:32:14,600 --> 00:32:19,600 Speaker 1: of our democracy, can form a more perfect union. What 453 00:32:19,720 --> 00:32:25,040 Speaker 1: a radical idea. The great gift that our founders gave 454 00:32:25,120 --> 00:32:29,520 Speaker 1: to us, the freedom to chase our individual dreams through 455 00:32:29,520 --> 00:32:35,160 Speaker 1: our sweat and toil and imagination, and the imperative to 456 00:32:35,240 --> 00:32:39,080 Speaker 1: strive together as well to achieve a common good, a 457 00:32:39,200 --> 00:32:45,600 Speaker 1: greater good. For two forty years, our nation's call to 458 00:32:45,760 --> 00:32:50,440 Speaker 1: citizenship has given work and purpose to each new generation. 459 00:32:51,360 --> 00:32:55,600 Speaker 1: That's what led patriots to choose republic over tyranny, pioneers 460 00:32:55,640 --> 00:32:59,840 Speaker 1: to trek West, slaves to brave, that make shift ray, 461 00:32:59,920 --> 00:33:03,680 Speaker 1: or world to freedom. It's what told immigrants and refugees 462 00:33:03,720 --> 00:33:08,600 Speaker 1: across oceans than the rio grand. It's what pushed women 463 00:33:09,440 --> 00:33:15,520 Speaker 1: to reach for the valot. It's what powered workers to organize. 464 00:33:16,600 --> 00:33:20,360 Speaker 1: That's why g i s gave their lives that Omaha Beach, 465 00:33:21,040 --> 00:33:26,959 Speaker 1: Anywama a rock in Afghanistan, and why men and women 466 00:33:27,080 --> 00:33:31,600 Speaker 1: from Selma to Stonewall were prepared to give theirs as well. 467 00:33:36,440 --> 00:33:43,400 Speaker 1: So so that's what we mean when we say America's exceptional, 468 00:33:44,080 --> 00:33:46,600 Speaker 1: not that our nation has been flawless from the start, 469 00:33:46,680 --> 00:33:50,320 Speaker 1: but that we have shown the capacity to change and 470 00:33:50,360 --> 00:33:54,200 Speaker 1: make life better for those who follow. Yes, our progress 471 00:33:54,240 --> 00:33:58,480 Speaker 1: has been uneven. The work of democracy has always been hard. 472 00:33:59,040 --> 00:34:03,600 Speaker 1: It's always been tentious. Sometimes it's been bloody. For every 473 00:34:03,600 --> 00:34:08,200 Speaker 1: two steps forward, it often feels we take one step back. 474 00:34:09,480 --> 00:34:13,520 Speaker 1: But the long sweep of America has been defined by 475 00:34:13,640 --> 00:34:18,520 Speaker 1: forward motion, a constant widening of our founding creed to 476 00:34:18,640 --> 00:34:29,680 Speaker 1: embrace all and not just something. We weaken those ties 477 00:34:29,760 --> 00:34:32,960 Speaker 1: when we define some of us as more American than others, 478 00:34:34,360 --> 00:34:38,800 Speaker 1: when we write off the whole system as inevitably corrupt, 479 00:34:41,480 --> 00:34:45,680 Speaker 1: and when we sit back and blame the leaders we 480 00:34:45,760 --> 00:34:52,200 Speaker 1: elect without examining our own role in electing them. Oh 481 00:34:52,239 --> 00:34:55,240 Speaker 1: my god, what a great speech we we certainly certainly 482 00:34:55,600 --> 00:35:06,920 Speaker 1: you President had. Honest, we've something you just ain't like. Well, anyway, Steve, 483 00:35:06,960 --> 00:35:10,120 Speaker 1: she's here with our headlines. Please introduce me, ladies and gentlemen, 484 00:35:10,160 --> 00:35:13,960 Speaker 1: the one and only miss saying trip, thank you very much. 485 00:35:14,000 --> 00:35:17,000 Speaker 1: This is a trepath news everybody. President Trump continues denying 486 00:35:17,040 --> 00:35:19,719 Speaker 1: to using that vulgar word for excrement and referring to 487 00:35:19,760 --> 00:35:24,240 Speaker 1: Haitio Salvador in Africa last week during talks about immigration reform. However, 488 00:35:24,280 --> 00:35:26,840 Speaker 1: the only Democrat in the room, Illinois sender Dick Durbin, 489 00:35:26,920 --> 00:35:28,879 Speaker 1: says Trump did use it, and then he went on 490 00:35:28,960 --> 00:35:32,840 Speaker 1: and we started to describe the immigration from Africa that 491 00:35:33,000 --> 00:35:37,120 Speaker 1: was being protected in this bipartisan major That's when he 492 00:35:37,200 --> 00:35:41,120 Speaker 1: used his vile and vulgar comments, calling the nations they 493 00:35:41,160 --> 00:35:44,560 Speaker 1: come from sharks, the exact word used by the president, 494 00:35:44,680 --> 00:35:48,200 Speaker 1: not more, not just once, but repeatedly. Now, some Republicans 495 00:35:48,239 --> 00:35:50,080 Speaker 1: who were in the room, if initially said well, we 496 00:35:50,160 --> 00:35:52,799 Speaker 1: didn't hear it, or we don't remember hearing it that 497 00:35:52,880 --> 00:35:56,600 Speaker 1: crew remark, they're saying, and now one gentleman, one Republican, 498 00:35:56,640 --> 00:35:58,800 Speaker 1: has changed his mind and says, oh, no, he definitely 499 00:35:58,840 --> 00:36:02,120 Speaker 1: didn't say it. However, Entucky Republican Senator Rand Paul takes 500 00:36:02,160 --> 00:36:04,240 Speaker 1: the kind of a middle ground on NBC's Meet the Press. 501 00:36:04,360 --> 00:36:06,160 Speaker 1: He said, doesn't mean Trump's are big, and it just 502 00:36:06,280 --> 00:36:08,400 Speaker 1: might mean it was a poor choice of work the 503 00:36:08,400 --> 00:36:10,759 Speaker 1: whole scenario and put different words in there. And let's 504 00:36:10,760 --> 00:36:14,960 Speaker 1: say we'd rather have people from economically prosperous countries than 505 00:36:15,000 --> 00:36:18,920 Speaker 1: economically deprived countries. Or we realize that there are more 506 00:36:18,920 --> 00:36:21,920 Speaker 1: problems and economically to private countries. Therefore there's a bigger 507 00:36:21,960 --> 00:36:24,080 Speaker 1: impetus for them to want to come. And then it 508 00:36:24,120 --> 00:36:26,480 Speaker 1: wouldn't have been so controversial. There still might have been 509 00:36:26,520 --> 00:36:29,680 Speaker 1: some controversy, but it wouldn't have been so much. Nevertheless, 510 00:36:29,719 --> 00:36:33,560 Speaker 1: here we go, remembering the key architects of our republic 511 00:36:35,360 --> 00:36:39,000 Speaker 1: up the magnipotent word of the Constitution and the Declaration 512 00:36:39,080 --> 00:36:45,560 Speaker 1: of Independence. They were signing a promise or in law whatever. 513 00:36:45,600 --> 00:36:50,000 Speaker 1: An American walked the ball out. N't know about the 514 00:36:50,080 --> 00:36:55,279 Speaker 1: promise at all. Men, Yeah, black men, that re quite men, 515 00:36:56,520 --> 00:37:01,320 Speaker 1: but be guaranteed be on a uniform rights of life, liberty, 516 00:37:01,480 --> 00:37:04,200 Speaker 1: and the procruder. We cannot use a public toilet for 517 00:37:04,280 --> 00:37:08,400 Speaker 1: Maryland around to Texas. Dows could use the lawn of 518 00:37:08,480 --> 00:37:11,120 Speaker 1: state capitals and we could not. We had the money 519 00:37:11,160 --> 00:37:13,439 Speaker 1: but could not stop at the Howard Johnson to eat. 520 00:37:13,719 --> 00:37:17,040 Speaker 1: It was just legal Jim Crow laws. So we are 521 00:37:17,080 --> 00:37:21,240 Speaker 1: not satisfied, and we will not be satisfied on ductor 522 00:37:22,040 --> 00:37:25,160 Speaker 1: down like waters and right to smith Black a mighty 523 00:37:25,239 --> 00:37:29,280 Speaker 1: free He was killed in Memphis. He was killed fighting 524 00:37:29,320 --> 00:37:33,640 Speaker 1: for justice. Now is the time to make real the 525 00:37:33,719 --> 00:37:39,600 Speaker 1: promises of democraship.

Keep it a luck 546 00:39:03,640 --> 00:39:09,080 Speaker 1: we meet at one of those defining moments. I'm a wiser. 547 00:39:09,760 --> 00:39:15,439 Speaker 1: I'm mad. I realized that I'm not the like list 548 00:39:15,480 --> 00:39:19,040 Speaker 1: candidate for the Socker. I don't fit the typical pedigree. 549 00:39:20,000 --> 00:39:23,240 Speaker 1: But I stand before you tonight because all across America, 550 00:39:23,760 --> 00:39:30,920 Speaker 1: something is stirred. What the naysays don't understand is that 551 00:39:31,080 --> 00:39:35,960 Speaker 1: this election has never been about me. And I see 552 00:39:36,080 --> 00:39:41,080 Speaker 1: God working in this period in a way that men, 553 00:39:41,280 --> 00:39:46,880 Speaker 1: in some strange way are respunding. Something is happening in 554 00:39:46,960 --> 00:40:10,600 Speaker 1: our room. My mind. I just want to do cards 555 00:40:10,719 --> 00:40:13,920 Speaker 1: were and He's allowed me to go up to the mountain. 556 00:40:15,320 --> 00:40:23,279 Speaker 1: I've looked over. I've seen the premise. Man, I may 557 00:40:23,320 --> 00:40:26,080 Speaker 1: not get there with you, We may not get there 558 00:40:26,120 --> 00:40:29,480 Speaker 1: in one year or even in one term. But America, 559 00:40:29,640 --> 00:40:32,640 Speaker 1: I have never been more hopeful than I am tonight 560 00:40:32,760 --> 00:40:52,080 Speaker 1: that we will get there. But I want you to 561 00:40:52,160 --> 00:40:56,640 Speaker 1: know the night and we as a people, we're getting 562 00:40:56,680 --> 00:41:01,080 Speaker 1: to the promise. Man, We as a people, we'll get there. 563 00:41:02,719 --> 00:41:05,480 Speaker 1: I believe that, as hard as it will be, the 564 00:41:05,600 --> 00:41:10,080 Speaker 1: change we need as comes because I've seen it, because 565 00:41:10,160 --> 00:41:15,920 Speaker 1: I've lived the heartache and the hope, the struggle and 566 00:41:16,000 --> 00:41:19,400 Speaker 1: the progress. The times we were told that we can't. 567 00:41:20,560 --> 00:41:24,319 Speaker 1: The people who pressed on with that American creed, Yes 568 00:41:24,400 --> 00:41:28,160 Speaker 1: we can. For the busses in Montgomery, the holes is 569 00:41:28,200 --> 00:41:31,480 Speaker 1: in Birmingham, a bridge in Selma, and a preacher from 570 00:41:31,480 --> 00:41:35,479 Speaker 1: Atlanta who told the people that we shall overcome. Yes 571 00:41:35,560 --> 00:41:37,920 Speaker 1: we can. When we come back from the break at 572 00:41:37,920 --> 00:41:40,560 Speaker 1: thirty two after we're gonna talk about the one and 573 00:41:40,600 --> 00:41:46,640 Speaker 1: only Oprah Winfrey. Oprah, you're listening to Steve Harvey Morning Show. 574 00:41:47,000 --> 00:41:51,040 Speaker 1: Happy King, Holiday everyone. Earlier, we played highlights from the 575 00:41:51,080 --> 00:41:55,239 Speaker 1: former President Obama's farewell speech, and this time last week, 576 00:41:55,280 --> 00:41:59,800 Speaker 1: the country was going crazy about Oprah Winfrey's Golden Globe speech. 577 00:42:00,120 --> 00:42:03,239 Speaker 1: Let's play some of her speech. It was greatness. I'd 578 00:42:03,239 --> 00:42:06,440 Speaker 1: like to thank the Hollywood Foreign Press Association because we 579 00:42:06,520 --> 00:42:10,440 Speaker 1: all know that the press is undersiege these days, but 580 00:42:10,560 --> 00:42:14,520 Speaker 1: we also know that it is the insatiable dedication to 581 00:42:14,760 --> 00:42:19,319 Speaker 1: uncovering the absolute truth that keeps us from turning a 582 00:42:19,400 --> 00:42:29,080 Speaker 1: blind eye to corruption and to injustice, to to tyrants 583 00:42:29,120 --> 00:42:34,320 Speaker 1: and victims and secrets and lies. As the Valves told, 584 00:42:34,360 --> 00:42:38,439 Speaker 1: we commit to a life of service because Dr King, 585 00:42:38,520 --> 00:42:41,120 Speaker 1: one of my favorite quotes from him is not everybody 586 00:42:41,160 --> 00:42:45,239 Speaker 1: can be famous, but everybody can be great because greatness 587 00:42:45,320 --> 00:42:53,040 Speaker 1: is determined by service. Well after, wasn't that speech great? Though? 588 00:42:53,080 --> 00:42:59,479 Speaker 1: I mean what ans? Yes? She did, Yes she did.

That's all they're gonna do. 597 00:43:36,440 --> 00:43:39,480 Speaker 1: They're gonna they're gonna hate on this woman and she'd 598 00:43:39,480 --> 00:43:41,960 Speaker 1: get up there and she will not be allowed to 599 00:43:42,040 --> 00:43:45,600 Speaker 1: be effective because she's not gonna run as a Republican, 600 00:43:46,000 --> 00:43:49,440 Speaker 1: and they're all gonna make sure that nothing she does works. 601 00:43:51,080 --> 00:43:53,279 Speaker 1: And I think, man, I don't want to see them 602 00:43:53,440 --> 00:43:56,520 Speaker 1: try to do this to this woman. She's been she's 603 00:43:56,560 --> 00:43:59,839 Speaker 1: too big, too important. From where she is, she can 604 00:44:00,000 --> 00:44:05,640 Speaker 1: it more done. But yeah, she may think she can 605 00:44:05,680 --> 00:44:07,920 Speaker 1: get it done, you know, at the White House, in 606 00:44:07,960 --> 00:44:10,560 Speaker 1: the Oval Office. You never know, she may feel a 607 00:44:10,600 --> 00:44:14,680 Speaker 1: bigger calling on her life. To me, she may, like 608 00:44:14,760 --> 00:44:17,480 Speaker 1: I said, I'll give him a one support But I 609 00:44:17,560 --> 00:44:20,239 Speaker 1: really hope to God, just as a woman and a 610 00:44:20,320 --> 00:44:22,840 Speaker 1: sister that did really put herself in the position. I 611 00:44:22,880 --> 00:44:25,680 Speaker 1: wish she'd stay away from that mess, man, because it 612 00:44:25,760 --> 00:44:32,719 Speaker 1: ain't nothing but mess. Politics is mess. It's bipartisan. They're 613 00:44:32,760 --> 00:44:36,799 Speaker 1: never gonna change that system. I said it's best, and 614 00:44:36,920 --> 00:44:44,640 Speaker 1: they trifle it. Man, not me, see president, Yeah me, 615 00:44:45,080 --> 00:44:47,640 Speaker 1: you go pident. I could. I could go up there 616 00:44:48,120 --> 00:44:50,440 Speaker 1: because you can handle it, because I don't give a 617 00:44:50,560 --> 00:44:55,560 Speaker 1: damn about being ineffective. See, I go up there and 618 00:44:55,600 --> 00:45:00,560 Speaker 1: be ineffective, but be effective in other ways.

You have a potent's account. Oh, 623 00:45:19,600 --> 00:45:21,560 Speaker 1: I mean, it's okay to have an account, but to 624 00:45:21,760 --> 00:45:27,560 Speaker 1: run your your you know, your presidency as a tweeter. 625 00:45:27,880 --> 00:45:31,279 Speaker 1: It's not okay for the president to tweet. It's not okay. No, 626 00:45:31,360 --> 00:45:34,240 Speaker 1: I'm saying stopping from doing it. But it's not because 627 00:45:34,520 --> 00:45:38,359 Speaker 1: President Obama tweeted. You can tweet as president, but don't 628 00:45:38,440 --> 00:45:41,000 Speaker 1: let that be your whole presidency. That's all I'm saying. 629 00:45:41,120 --> 00:45:45,880 Speaker 1: Don't run you know. Well, I don't know, but he tweeted. 630 00:45:45,920 --> 00:45:48,880 Speaker 1: I'm just saying he had a he had a a 631 00:45:49,400 --> 00:45:52,400 Speaker 1: Twitter account.

Steve the social mood media moved right, 633 00:45:55,920 --> 00:46:03,920 Speaker 1: he but he ushered that, Oh no, people go here 634 00:46:03,920 --> 00:46:06,759 Speaker 1: to get your health careff. Like course not, he wasn't 635 00:46:06,800 --> 00:46:09,480 Speaker 1: doing that. But yeah, this president has taken it to 636 00:46:09,560 --> 00:46:15,040 Speaker 1: a whole new level. All right, But anyway, um Oprah 637 00:46:15,120 --> 00:46:18,279 Speaker 1: will make up her mind. I guess she definitely has 638 00:46:18,320 --> 00:46:22,200 Speaker 1: a compassion to be president now, like you say, Steve, 639 00:46:22,239 --> 00:46:24,040 Speaker 1: whether or not they'll let her do it, allow her 640 00:46:24,080 --> 00:46:26,480 Speaker 1: to be who she is is a whole different thing. 641 00:46:27,400 --> 00:46:29,719 Speaker 1: You know, her girlfriend, her best friend, Cale says she 642 00:46:29,920 --> 00:46:32,840 Speaker 1: is intrigued by the idea he is. Another one of 643 00:46:32,840 --> 00:46:36,000 Speaker 1: my favorite quotes from Dr King. Faith is taking the 644 00:46:36,040 --> 00:46:38,719 Speaker 1: first step. Even if you don't see the whole staircase 645 00:46:39,200 --> 00:46:43,640 Speaker 1: you're listening to show coming off.

Let 650 00:46:57,320 --> 00:46:58,920 Speaker 1: me see this, let me, let me stay away from 651 00:46:58,920 --> 00:47:03,719 Speaker 1: my foundation, for me to just talked to Let me 652 00:47:03,800 --> 00:47:05,640 Speaker 1: just talk to me and out there for a second. 653 00:47:07,800 --> 00:47:11,840 Speaker 1: You do not have to have a foundation to mentor 654 00:47:13,200 --> 00:47:17,120 Speaker 1: you do not have to have money to mentor. You 655 00:47:17,239 --> 00:47:21,319 Speaker 1: don't have to be famous to mentor. All you have 656 00:47:21,400 --> 00:47:27,200 Speaker 1: to do is be a man. I meet so many 657 00:47:27,320 --> 00:47:31,160 Speaker 1: great brothers out there man in my lifetime who are 658 00:47:31,280 --> 00:47:37,240 Speaker 1: great brothers man, who are incredible men, who are can 659 00:47:37,320 --> 00:47:40,239 Speaker 1: be and are for the most part in every way 660 00:47:40,360 --> 00:47:45,680 Speaker 1: just as good as mentor as me. Because mentoring only 661 00:47:45,719 --> 00:47:51,480 Speaker 1: requires one thing, now, well one major thing. It just 662 00:47:51,560 --> 00:47:56,480 Speaker 1: requires just a little bit of time. And in that time, 663 00:47:57,280 --> 00:48:01,160 Speaker 1: if you can offer a young man some guidance and 664 00:48:01,360 --> 00:48:05,520 Speaker 1: some love, you are a mentor and you can change 665 00:48:05,520 --> 00:48:09,880 Speaker 1: a person's life with that. You can change a person's 666 00:48:10,080 --> 00:48:14,000 Speaker 1: life with that. All you got to do is take 667 00:48:14,200 --> 00:48:18,040 Speaker 1: one young guy that you see. He could be going 668 00:48:18,120 --> 00:48:20,279 Speaker 1: in the wrong direction, he could be headed in the 669 00:48:20,360 --> 00:48:25,560 Speaker 1: right direction. Give him some encouragement, tell him what you know. 670 00:48:25,719 --> 00:48:27,680 Speaker 1: Because let me tell you something, when you're talking to 671 00:48:27,760 --> 00:48:30,600 Speaker 1: a boy or a young man and you're a full 672 00:48:30,640 --> 00:48:33,280 Speaker 1: grown man, your best to believe he can learn something 673 00:48:33,320 --> 00:48:36,520 Speaker 1: from you, because you can tell him how to be 674 00:48:36,560 --> 00:48:39,400 Speaker 1: a man. Tell him that real men go to work, 675 00:48:40,280 --> 00:48:43,399 Speaker 1: Tell him that real men obeyed the law. Tell him 676 00:48:43,440 --> 00:48:48,560 Speaker 1: that real men take care of their children. Tell him 677 00:48:48,600 --> 00:48:53,560 Speaker 1: that real men are respectful of women. Tell him that 678 00:48:53,760 --> 00:49:01,200 Speaker 1: real men honor God. Tell him that, tell him that 679 00:49:01,360 --> 00:49:05,799 Speaker 1: you love him, that he can do better, tell him 680 00:49:05,840 --> 00:49:09,760 Speaker 1: that you expect him to do better. Give him somebody 681 00:49:09,840 --> 00:49:12,399 Speaker 1: to be accountable for, and then give him your number. 682 00:49:12,480 --> 00:49:16,200 Speaker 1: And if he got any questions about girls, about other dudes, 683 00:49:16,400 --> 00:49:20,360 Speaker 1: about making it, about trying when he could, if he 684 00:49:20,360 --> 00:49:24,360 Speaker 1: could just run it by another man, it could change 685 00:49:24,440 --> 00:49:29,319 Speaker 1: his life. Everybody can be a mentor mentor just one person. Now, 686 00:49:29,320 --> 00:49:31,000 Speaker 1: if you got time for a group of boys to 687 00:49:31,080 --> 00:49:32,879 Speaker 1: come by your house and you talk with him, wants 688 00:49:32,880 --> 00:49:35,600 Speaker 1: a week, that's cool.

You know, several years ago I was 771 00:57:22,160 --> 00:57:26,120 Speaker 1: in New York City autographing the first book that I 772 00:57:26,240 --> 00:57:32,280 Speaker 1: had written. And while sitting the autographing books, the minute 773 00:57:32,480 --> 00:57:36,760 Speaker 1: black woman came up. The only question I heard from 774 00:57:36,800 --> 00:57:41,080 Speaker 1: all was you Mardin Luther King? And I was looking 775 00:57:41,120 --> 00:57:44,720 Speaker 1: down writing and I said yes. The next minute I 776 00:57:44,840 --> 00:57:48,600 Speaker 1: felt something beating on my chest. Before I knew it, 777 00:57:48,720 --> 00:57:52,320 Speaker 1: I had been stabbed by this deminuted woman. I was 778 00:57:52,400 --> 00:57:56,600 Speaker 1: rushed to hull Um Hospital.

The main ottering and once such punction, 782 00:58:10,880 --> 00:58:14,520 Speaker 1: you drowned in your own blood. That's the end of you. Yes, 783 00:58:14,960 --> 00:58:18,040 Speaker 1: It came out in the New York Times the next morning, 784 00:58:18,160 --> 00:58:22,800 Speaker 1: that if I had merely sneezed, I would have died. Well. 785 00:58:22,880 --> 00:58:26,520 Speaker 1: About four days later, they allowed me after the operation, 786 00:58:27,480 --> 00:58:29,840 Speaker 1: after my chest had been opening the blade had been 787 00:58:29,880 --> 00:58:33,880 Speaker 1: taken out, to move around in the wheelchair in the hospital, 788 00:58:34,720 --> 00:58:36,640 Speaker 1: they allowed me to read some of the mail that 789 00:58:36,760 --> 00:58:39,840 Speaker 1: came in, and from all over the States and the world. 790 00:58:40,480 --> 00:58:45,480 Speaker 1: Kind letters came in. I read a few, but one 791 00:58:45,560 --> 00:58:49,040 Speaker 1: of them I will never forget. I had received one 792 00:58:49,200 --> 00:58:52,080 Speaker 1: from the President and the Vice President. I've forgotten what 793 00:58:52,560 --> 00:58:56,280 Speaker 1: those telegrams said. I'd received the visit and a letter 794 00:58:56,400 --> 00:58:59,120 Speaker 1: from the Governor of New York, but I've forgotten what that. 795 00:59:00,120 --> 00:59:04,400 Speaker 1: Let us say it. But that was another letter. It 796 00:59:04,600 --> 00:59:09,040 Speaker 1: came from a little girl, a young girl who was 797 00:59:09,120 --> 00:59:12,320 Speaker 1: a student at the White Plains High School. And I 798 00:59:12,440 --> 00:59:15,640 Speaker 1: looked at that, letting I'll never forget it, said simply, 799 00:59:15,680 --> 00:59:21,440 Speaker 1: dear Dr King, I am a ninth grade student at 800 00:59:21,440 --> 00:59:25,480 Speaker 1: the White Plains High School.

I personally can think of 913 01:11:29,200 --> 01:11:35,040 Speaker 1: no person, for me personally who has had a greater 914 01:11:35,280 --> 01:11:40,519 Speaker 1: impact on my life as a man outside of my 915 01:11:40,800 --> 01:11:44,519 Speaker 1: father and the way he raised me than Martin Luther King. 916 01:11:45,040 --> 01:11:48,080 Speaker 1: I think his contribution to this country is one of 917 01:11:48,160 --> 01:11:53,400 Speaker 1: the greatest contributions made by a man in American fabric, 918 01:11:53,800 --> 01:11:57,240 Speaker 1: the fiber of this country. I think Mary Luther King 919 01:11:57,360 --> 01:12:00,160 Speaker 1: had more to do to shape it to date than 920 01:12:00,240 --> 01:12:03,960 Speaker 1: anyone in my lifetime. I should say, what a man 921 01:12:05,960 --> 01:12:08,559 Speaker 1: I mean really for me, I don't know anyone who's 922 01:12:08,600 --> 01:12:13,320 Speaker 1: made a more major contribution in the way America is 923 01:12:13,439 --> 01:12:18,479 Speaker 1: today than Martin Luther King. That's to take nothing away 924 01:12:18,560 --> 01:12:26,000 Speaker 1: from no one else you're listening to Steve. All right, Steve, 925 01:12:26,160 --> 01:12:28,400 Speaker 1: you know we have to talk openly with our children 926 01:12:28,439 --> 01:12:33,160 Speaker 1: about race, about ethnicity, about religion and bigotry. Uh have 927 01:12:33,320 --> 01:12:35,680 Speaker 1: you dealt with that? I mean, I'm sure you have. 928 01:12:36,560 --> 01:12:40,000 Speaker 1: But I dealt with with your children. I mean, you know, 929 01:12:40,200 --> 01:12:43,040 Speaker 1: talking to them about it at a young age. I mean, 930 01:12:43,160 --> 01:12:45,839 Speaker 1: you know, I had a couple of incidents. Has happened, 931 01:12:45,960 --> 01:12:49,080 Speaker 1: you know about race? I try to My kids grew 932 01:12:49,160 --> 01:12:51,960 Speaker 1: up very, very different from me, so they've afforded or 933 01:12:52,080 --> 01:12:54,800 Speaker 1: were afforded a different lifestyle than I had. So my 934 01:12:55,280 --> 01:12:57,240 Speaker 1: none of my kids grew up in the hood. My 935 01:12:57,479 --> 01:13:01,280 Speaker 1: kids have been fortunate enough to live in totally different 936 01:13:01,360 --> 01:13:05,400 Speaker 1: environments and I grew up in so they've I've always 937 01:13:05,800 --> 01:13:08,760 Speaker 1: encouraged my kids to accept people for who they were, 938 01:13:09,120 --> 01:13:11,320 Speaker 1: as long as they accept you for who you are. 939 01:13:11,760 --> 01:13:14,720 Speaker 1: I'm a realist when I talk to my kids about racism. 940 01:13:16,120 --> 01:13:18,240 Speaker 1: If somebody got a problem with you because of the 941 01:13:18,360 --> 01:13:21,519 Speaker 1: color of your skin, I said, you're gonna know it, 942 01:13:23,240 --> 01:13:26,360 Speaker 1: and then you have to deal with it accordingly. You know, 943 01:13:26,840 --> 01:13:30,000 Speaker 1: everybody not going All people are not good people. It's 944 01:13:30,080 --> 01:13:32,479 Speaker 1: just some bad people out there. But when you run 945 01:13:32,520 --> 01:13:34,920 Speaker 1: into them, you have to have an assurance, you have 946 01:13:35,000 --> 01:13:38,200 Speaker 1: to have a confidence level, a certain amount of self 947 01:13:38,320 --> 01:13:42,960 Speaker 1: esteem about yourself. Don't let nobody make you try to 948 01:13:43,080 --> 01:13:46,880 Speaker 1: feel less there simply because of the color of your skin. 949 01:13:47,160 --> 01:13:49,760 Speaker 1: That's not gonna happen. And I've given them my full 950 01:13:49,840 --> 01:13:52,880 Speaker 1: permission to address it. I'm probably not the best parent 951 01:13:53,680 --> 01:13:56,599 Speaker 1: to talk about racism with your kids because I've had 952 01:13:56,640 --> 01:14:01,160 Speaker 1: to deal with it on some very blatant levels, being 953 01:14:01,439 --> 01:14:05,280 Speaker 1: sixty years old, you know, and in two days be 954 01:14:05,520 --> 01:14:09,439 Speaker 1: sixty one. You know, I've seen it from some really 955 01:14:09,560 --> 01:14:14,120 Speaker 1: dark angles. Man. And so I've just always had my 956 01:14:14,280 --> 01:14:18,000 Speaker 1: kids in a position where they they deal with it 957 01:14:18,120 --> 01:14:21,360 Speaker 1: if they if they see it, you know, if they're 958 01:14:21,400 --> 01:14:25,200 Speaker 1: confronted with it, deal with it. Be courageous about it. 959 01:14:25,280 --> 01:14:28,000 Speaker 1: Don't put yourself in a life threatening situation about it, 960 01:14:28,479 --> 01:14:31,719 Speaker 1: but be courageous about it. But my kids are open 961 01:14:31,800 --> 01:14:34,840 Speaker 1: to people, you know, they accept people for who they are. 962 01:14:35,520 --> 01:14:39,360 Speaker 1: They don't have uh hang ups when it comes to race. 963 01:14:39,479 --> 01:14:45,639 Speaker 1: You know, Uh, my son's wife is from it has 964 01:14:46,040 --> 01:14:51,360 Speaker 1: biracial parents.

Anyway, 978 01:15:45,240 --> 01:15:47,680 Speaker 1: she's going to be ten years old this Wednesday. Now, 979 01:15:47,800 --> 01:15:50,960 Speaker 1: you guys did a community project together. You ask kids 980 01:15:51,479 --> 01:15:54,280 Speaker 1: what Dr King means to them and what can we 981 01:15:54,400 --> 01:15:57,840 Speaker 1: do to help help keep Dr King's dream alive. Take 982 01:15:57,880 --> 01:16:00,040 Speaker 1: a listen. This is your girl, Carla Ferrell and I 983 01:16:00,080 --> 01:16:02,640 Speaker 1: am here with my daughter Tasha Ferrell, and on this 984 01:16:02,800 --> 01:16:05,479 Speaker 1: King Holiday, we're doing a community service project and I 985 01:16:05,560 --> 01:16:09,360 Speaker 1: wanted to talk to Tasha about King Holiday, the importance 986 01:16:09,560 --> 01:16:14,320 Speaker 1: of Dr King's legacy and why is this day so important. 987 01:16:14,360 --> 01:16:17,760 Speaker 1: So Tasha, tell me why is King Holiday? Marluth King 988 01:16:17,840 --> 01:16:20,080 Speaker 1: Day is so important? And tell me what you've learned 989 01:16:20,080 --> 01:16:24,840 Speaker 1: about Dr King's legacy. Dr King wasn't important because of 990 01:16:24,920 --> 01:16:27,840 Speaker 1: the speeches. He was trying to send a message that 991 01:16:28,200 --> 01:16:32,040 Speaker 1: don't judge some of their religion or how they look 992 01:16:32,280 --> 01:16:35,680 Speaker 1: or their skin color, and judge them and how they 993 01:16:35,800 --> 01:16:41,439 Speaker 1: behave to anyone or you like in behavior, I mean 994 01:16:42,080 --> 01:16:47,679 Speaker 1: meano nice and so. And when he sentenced that message, 995 01:16:47,720 --> 01:16:49,759 Speaker 1: you should think, oh, let's be nice to one another 996 01:16:49,960 --> 01:16:53,240 Speaker 1: and let's not think about how we look. Hi. My 997 01:16:53,360 --> 01:16:55,360 Speaker 1: name is Selmy and I'm in fifth grade. I think 998 01:16:55,520 --> 01:17:01,599 Speaker 1: Dr King wanted wanted equality for all all race is Hello. 999 01:17:01,800 --> 01:17:06,360 Speaker 1: My name is Carly, and Martin Luther King is important 1000 01:17:06,439 --> 01:17:09,479 Speaker 1: to me because I wouldn't be able to go to 1001 01:17:09,640 --> 01:17:12,760 Speaker 1: my school or being student counsel at my school if 1002 01:17:12,800 --> 01:17:15,000 Speaker 1: it wasn't for him, and I wouldn't be able to 1003 01:17:15,080 --> 01:17:19,560 Speaker 1: have such a large option of friends to have. So 1004 01:17:19,640 --> 01:17:23,200 Speaker 1: I just thank Martin Luther King for for having that 1005 01:17:23,479 --> 01:17:26,880 Speaker 1: dream and making all of those speeches and leading all 1006 01:17:26,960 --> 01:17:29,880 Speaker 1: of those walks. Hi, my name is Sasha and I'm 1007 01:17:29,920 --> 01:17:33,840 Speaker 1: in high school. But I think Dr King's dream meant 1008 01:17:33,880 --> 01:17:37,960 Speaker 1: to me. It means that he wanted to be respected, 1009 01:17:38,080 --> 01:17:41,679 Speaker 1: even though people didn't like him or like his color, 1010 01:17:41,960 --> 01:17:45,240 Speaker 1: he just wanted to be respected and he wanted all 1011 01:17:45,280 --> 01:17:48,320 Speaker 1: the colors to unite. So that was really good. You know, 1012 01:17:48,439 --> 01:17:51,960 Speaker 1: the kids, some Atasha's friends, they were from all races, 1013 01:17:52,040 --> 01:17:54,360 Speaker 1: all background. These kids at this age, you know, she'll 1014 01:17:54,400 --> 01:17:57,960 Speaker 1: be ten, like you said on Wednesday, they don't see 1015 01:17:58,000 --> 01:18:01,240 Speaker 1: color like that. You know, racism is taught. Yeah, we 1016 01:18:01,760 --> 01:18:05,840 Speaker 1: didn't either, right, And they all play together, they all 1017 01:18:06,120 --> 01:18:08,400 Speaker 1: want to be together, they're all friends, and they don't 1018 01:18:08,479 --> 01:18:10,760 Speaker 1: they don't care. They don't care what color you are. 1019 01:18:10,800 --> 01:18:15,640 Speaker 1: They don't even say black, they say brown. Tasha went 1020 01:18:15,680 --> 01:18:17,879 Speaker 1: through that phase too, and she said brown. She understands 1021 01:18:17,960 --> 01:18:20,360 Speaker 1: now because she's older, that her race is black. Are 1022 01:18:20,479 --> 01:18:24,600 Speaker 1: African American. And we have a little cute dog. And 1023 01:18:24,920 --> 01:18:26,800 Speaker 1: our dog was given to us by one of her 1024 01:18:26,880 --> 01:18:29,599 Speaker 1: friends and who happens to be white. The grandmother gave 1025 01:18:29,680 --> 01:18:31,960 Speaker 1: us a dog. We just I just love how these 1026 01:18:32,040 --> 01:18:36,920 Speaker 1: children are at at this age where they teach me things, 1027 01:18:37,000 --> 01:18:39,000 Speaker 1: you know, listening to them talk. So you you guys 1028 01:18:39,120 --> 01:18:41,240 Speaker 1: heard some of it. So it's a good thing. I 1029 01:18:41,360 --> 01:18:44,160 Speaker 1: still know. I know people have a tendency to say 1030 01:18:45,040 --> 01:18:47,040 Speaker 1: it has a long way to go, and it does, 1031 01:18:48,320 --> 01:18:52,560 Speaker 1: but you best to believe it's gotten better. Yes, absolutely, 1032 01:18:53,880 --> 01:18:59,240 Speaker 1: still a huge amount of remnants. Of course, nobody's blind 1033 01:18:59,360 --> 01:19:04,360 Speaker 1: to that, but oh my goodness, it's better than it 1034 01:19:04,479 --> 01:19:07,160 Speaker 1: used to be. And I could see improvement even amongst 1035 01:19:07,280 --> 01:19:11,840 Speaker 1: my kids, you know, where it is not allowed to 1036 01:19:11,960 --> 01:19:16,120 Speaker 1: be so pervasive. I think racism will be with us 1037 01:19:16,520 --> 01:19:20,160 Speaker 1: until the end of time. But I hate to hear that, 1038 01:19:20,360 --> 01:19:24,880 Speaker 1: but I do. Now. The sad thing about it is 1039 01:19:25,080 --> 01:19:31,439 Speaker 1: is because of this presidency it has racism is really 1040 01:19:31,520 --> 01:19:34,720 Speaker 1: his ugly head and kind of felt like a little 1041 01:19:34,760 --> 01:19:38,240 Speaker 1: bit better about doing it, seems like. And that's a 1042 01:19:38,320 --> 01:19:41,360 Speaker 1: scary place to be. Yes, and we'll be back right 1043 01:19:41,400 --> 01:19:45,960 Speaker 1: after this. Attention to Steve Harvy Nation on this King Holiday, 1044 01:19:46,000 --> 01:19:48,560 Speaker 1: I want to see y'all giving back today.

Okay, you're 1050 01:20:03,640 --> 01:20:09,919 Speaker 1: listening morning show coming up, We're gonna play some excerpts 1051 01:20:10,000 --> 01:20:16,400 Speaker 1: from Dr King's I Have a Dream Speech. I'm happy 1052 01:20:16,760 --> 01:20:21,559 Speaker 1: to john with you today in what will go down 1053 01:20:21,920 --> 01:20:27,560 Speaker 1: in history as the greatest demonstration for freedom in the 1054 01:20:27,840 --> 01:20:39,519 Speaker 1: history of our nation. Five score years ago, a great 1055 01:20:39,520 --> 01:20:45,760 Speaker 1: American in whose symbolic shadow we stand today, signed the 1056 01:20:46,040 --> 01:20:53,360 Speaker 1: Emancipation Proclamation. This momentous decree came as a great beacon 1057 01:20:53,479 --> 01:20:57,680 Speaker 1: light of Pope to millions of Negro slaves who had 1058 01:20:57,760 --> 01:21:03,120 Speaker 1: been seared in the flames of withering injustice. It came 1059 01:21:03,240 --> 01:21:07,320 Speaker 1: as a joyous day break to end the long night 1060 01:21:07,800 --> 01:21:13,759 Speaker 1: of their captivity. But one hundred years later, the Negro 1061 01:21:14,280 --> 01:21:20,439 Speaker 1: steal is not free. One hundred years later, the life 1062 01:21:20,479 --> 01:21:24,640 Speaker 1: of the negro is still sadly crippled by the manacles 1063 01:21:24,800 --> 01:21:31,000 Speaker 1: of segregation and the chains of discrimination. One hundred years later, 1064 01:21:31,720 --> 01:21:35,560 Speaker 1: the negro lives on a lonely island of property in 1065 01:21:35,760 --> 01:21:40,160 Speaker 1: the midst of a vast ocean of material prosperity. One 1066 01:21:40,240 --> 01:21:48,479 Speaker 1: hundred years later, the negro is still languished in the 1067 01:21:48,680 --> 01:21:54,320 Speaker 1: corners of American society and finds himself in exile in 1068 01:21:54,479 --> 01:22:00,800 Speaker 1: his own land. So we've come here today to ramatize 1069 01:22:00,960 --> 01:22:05,559 Speaker 1: a shameful condition. In a sense, we've come to our 1070 01:22:05,680 --> 01:22:11,519 Speaker 1: nation's capital to cash a check. When the architects of 1071 01:22:11,600 --> 01:22:17,400 Speaker 1: our Republic wrote the magnificent words of the Constitution and 1072 01:22:17,560 --> 01:22:23,040 Speaker 1: the Declaration of Independence, they were signing a promise or 1073 01:22:23,120 --> 01:22:29,360 Speaker 1: rene to whichever the American was to fall air. This 1074 01:22:29,600 --> 01:22:34,639 Speaker 1: note was a promise at all men, yes, black men 1075 01:22:34,760 --> 01:22:39,640 Speaker 1: as well as white men, would be guaranteed the unalienable 1076 01:22:39,840 --> 01:22:45,920 Speaker 1: rights of life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness. It 1077 01:22:46,120 --> 01:22:51,439 Speaker 1: is obvious today that America has defaulted on this promise 1078 01:22:51,520 --> 01:22:55,559 Speaker 1: or note in so far as her citizens of color 1079 01:22:55,640 --> 01:23:03,880 Speaker 1: are concerned. Instead of honoring the sacred obligation, America has 1080 01:23:03,960 --> 01:23:07,800 Speaker 1: given the Negro people a bad check, a check which 1081 01:23:07,840 --> 01:23:23,920 Speaker 1: has come back mark insufficient funds. But we refuse to 1082 01:23:24,120 --> 01:23:31,240 Speaker 1: believe that the bank of justice is bankrupt. He refused 1083 01:23:31,320 --> 01:23:34,519 Speaker 1: to believe that that are insufficient funds in the great 1084 01:23:34,640 --> 01:23:38,320 Speaker 1: bulks of opportunity of this nation. So we've come to 1085 01:23:38,479 --> 01:23:41,360 Speaker 1: cash this check, a check that will give us a 1086 01:23:41,520 --> 01:23:46,120 Speaker 1: pun demand the riches of freedom and the security of justice. 1087 01:23:56,080 --> 01:23:59,840 Speaker 1: We have also come to this hell of spot to 1088 01:24:00,120 --> 01:24:05,200 Speaker 1: remind a miracle of the fierce urgency of now. This 1089 01:24:05,520 --> 01:24:10,360 Speaker 1: is no time to engage in the luxury of cooling, 1090 01:24:10,439 --> 01:24:20,680 Speaker 1: offer to take the tranquilizing drug of gradualism. Now is 1091 01:24:20,760 --> 01:24:26,920 Speaker 1: the time to make real the promises of democracy. Now 1092 01:24:27,200 --> 01:24:31,800 Speaker 1: is the time arise from the dark and desolate valley 1093 01:24:32,200 --> 01:24:36,360 Speaker 1: of segregation to the sunlit path of racial justice. Now 1094 01:24:36,600 --> 01:24:45,400 Speaker 1: is the time from the Greek ends of racial injustice 1095 01:24:45,600 --> 01:24:48,679 Speaker 1: to the solid rock or brotherhood. Now is the time 1096 01:24:52,160 --> 01:24:56,720 Speaker 1: think the reality. For all of god Stone, it would 1097 01:24:56,760 --> 01:25:00,880 Speaker 1: be fatal for the nation to overlook the urgency of 1098 01:25:01,000 --> 01:25:06,920 Speaker 1: the moment. This sweltering summ of the Negros. Legitimate discontent 1099 01:25:08,240 --> 01:25:12,960 Speaker 1: will not pass until that is an invigorating autumn of 1100 01:25:13,120 --> 01:25:17,479 Speaker 1: freedom and equality. Nineteen sixty three is not an end, 1101 01:25:17,960 --> 01:25:22,759 Speaker 1: but a beginning. Those who hope that the Negro needed 1102 01:25:22,840 --> 01:25:27,519 Speaker 1: to blow off steam and will now be content, we'll 1103 01:25:27,600 --> 01:25:31,160 Speaker 1: have a rude awakening. If the nation returns to business 1104 01:25:31,240 --> 01:25:49,320 Speaker 1: as usual. There will be neither rest nor tranquility in 1105 01:25:49,439 --> 01:25:55,200 Speaker 1: America until the Negro has granted his citizenship rights. The 1106 01:25:55,320 --> 01:25:59,320 Speaker 1: whirlwinds a revolt will continue to shake the foundations of 1107 01:25:59,400 --> 01:26:04,320 Speaker 1: our nation until the bright day of justice emerges. But 1108 01:26:04,479 --> 01:26:06,880 Speaker 1: that is something that I must say to my people 1109 01:26:07,439 --> 01:26:11,200 Speaker 1: who stand on the warm threshold which leads into the 1110 01:26:11,280 --> 01:26:15,880 Speaker 1: palace of justice. In the process of gaining our rightful place, 1111 01:26:16,600 --> 01:26:20,920 Speaker 1: we must not be guilty of wrong for deeds. Let 1112 01:26:21,040 --> 01:26:25,639 Speaker 1: us not seek to satisfy first for freedom by drinking 1113 01:26:25,800 --> 01:26:37,920 Speaker 1: from the cup of bitterness and hatred. We must forever 1114 01:26:38,040 --> 01:26:42,000 Speaker 1: conduct our struggle on the high plane of dignity and discipline. 1115 01:26:42,600 --> 01:26:47,639 Speaker 1: We must not allow our creative protests to degenerate into 1116 01:26:47,720 --> 01:26:52,960 Speaker 1: physical violence. Again and again, we must rise to the 1117 01:26:53,040 --> 01:26:58,920 Speaker 1: majestic heights of meeting physical force with soul force. The 1118 01:26:59,080 --> 01:27:03,880 Speaker 1: marvelous Knew militant said Bridge hasn't got the Negro community 1119 01:27:05,240 --> 01:27:08,320 Speaker 1: must not lead us to a distrust of all right people. 1120 01:27:08,960 --> 01:27:11,560 Speaker 1: For many of our white brothers, as evidenced by the 1121 01:27:11,800 --> 01:27:15,639 Speaker 1: presence here today, have come to realize that that defines 1122 01:27:15,800 --> 01:27:29,559 Speaker 1: part I tend to Steve Harvey Nation on this King Holiday, 1123 01:27:29,600 --> 01:27:32,200 Speaker 1: I want to see y'all giving back today.

You know. The other day on the show, 1244 01:37:03,120 --> 01:37:07,120 Speaker 1: I was asking Ernie Hudson. I have this thing on 1245 01:37:07,240 --> 01:37:13,560 Speaker 1: the show called uncensored rapid fire Questions MHM, and I 1246 01:37:13,680 --> 01:37:18,679 Speaker 1: asked Ernie Hudson, if you could have dinner with any 1247 01:37:18,800 --> 01:37:24,120 Speaker 1: celebrity living or decease, who would it be. And Ernie 1248 01:37:24,200 --> 01:37:28,320 Speaker 1: Hudson said Sydney Portier because he's an actor. And Ernie 1249 01:37:28,400 --> 01:37:31,720 Speaker 1: Hudson's an actor. It's sort of funny. So we were 1250 01:37:31,800 --> 01:37:36,719 Speaker 1: talking off the air and he asked me who would 1251 01:37:36,720 --> 01:37:39,920 Speaker 1: I want to have dinner with? And it's two people 1252 01:37:40,040 --> 01:37:43,479 Speaker 1: man that I said I wish I could sit and 1253 01:37:43,640 --> 01:37:48,559 Speaker 1: have dinner with, and it was Richard Pryor and Martin 1254 01:37:48,640 --> 01:37:52,400 Speaker 1: Luther King. But I was kind of tossed up because 1255 01:37:53,320 --> 01:37:54,960 Speaker 1: I really want to sit down and have dinner with 1256 01:37:55,040 --> 01:38:01,120 Speaker 1: Mohammed Ali. So it's it's almost a three freeway affair 1257 01:38:01,280 --> 01:38:06,760 Speaker 1: for me. It's almost even. These were three people who 1258 01:38:06,920 --> 01:38:11,320 Speaker 1: had a major impact on my life as a black 1259 01:38:11,439 --> 01:38:16,519 Speaker 1: man and as a career. I mean Richard Pryor, man, 1260 01:38:18,439 --> 01:38:21,960 Speaker 1: when I saw him, the first time I saw him, 1261 01:38:22,040 --> 01:38:27,200 Speaker 1: I said, that's that's what I'm gonna be now. Mohammed Ali. 1262 01:38:27,360 --> 01:38:30,519 Speaker 1: I knew him before I knew anything of Richard Pryor. 1263 01:38:32,000 --> 01:38:39,280 Speaker 1: Mohammed Ali was the first person that ever ever made 1264 01:38:39,400 --> 01:38:44,400 Speaker 1: me think I could be great, And even though I 1265 01:38:44,439 --> 01:38:49,880 Speaker 1: don't consider myself great, at least he put it inside 1266 01:38:49,960 --> 01:38:53,519 Speaker 1: of me and made me think I could be great 1267 01:38:54,680 --> 01:38:57,439 Speaker 1: and made me want to start working my tail off 1268 01:38:57,560 --> 01:39:04,160 Speaker 1: to achieve some form of greatness. But even before those two, 1269 01:39:06,080 --> 01:39:11,439 Speaker 1: Martin Luther King had put an impression on me as 1270 01:39:11,520 --> 01:39:16,200 Speaker 1: a boy that has shaped and molded me even to 1271 01:39:16,439 --> 01:39:23,080 Speaker 1: this day. I remember in school, in elementary school when 1272 01:39:23,120 --> 01:39:27,400 Speaker 1: he was killed and the teacher made us watch his 1273 01:39:27,640 --> 01:39:33,000 Speaker 1: funeral on TV, and that casket, that mule drawn casket 1274 01:39:33,160 --> 01:39:36,000 Speaker 1: was being pulled up the street, and I was looking 1275 01:39:36,080 --> 01:39:39,800 Speaker 1: at my teacher. She was just crying, man, And I 1276 01:39:40,000 --> 01:39:46,320 Speaker 1: was so not understanding why this happened, because she used 1277 01:39:46,360 --> 01:39:48,920 Speaker 1: to play the speeches for us that I have a 1278 01:39:49,120 --> 01:39:52,560 Speaker 1: dream and all of that, and I could not understand 1279 01:39:52,720 --> 01:39:55,559 Speaker 1: for the life of me, as a boy, why they 1280 01:39:55,640 --> 01:40:00,280 Speaker 1: would kill Martin Luther King. I heard my all to 1281 01:40:00,439 --> 01:40:03,840 Speaker 1: say in angle one time after Mark Luther King got killed. 1282 01:40:04,880 --> 01:40:07,360 Speaker 1: He said, boy, we're in a world of trouble and 1283 01:40:07,479 --> 01:40:09,240 Speaker 1: white folks just don't want to have nothing to do 1284 01:40:09,400 --> 01:40:17,040 Speaker 1: with us. That impacted me, man, It impacted me because 1285 01:40:17,200 --> 01:40:21,880 Speaker 1: I really really thought for so many years that white 1286 01:40:21,920 --> 01:40:23,880 Speaker 1: people really didn't want to have nothing to do with 1287 01:40:24,000 --> 01:40:28,679 Speaker 1: Black people. And as I got a little bit older 1288 01:40:28,840 --> 01:40:31,160 Speaker 1: and I was listening back to his speeches because I 1289 01:40:31,280 --> 01:40:33,559 Speaker 1: used to play him in my car when I was homeless, 1290 01:40:33,600 --> 01:40:35,120 Speaker 1: and I used to play a lot of Maran Luther 1291 01:40:35,280 --> 01:40:38,120 Speaker 1: King tapes you could buy him at truck stops and stuff, 1292 01:40:38,920 --> 01:40:41,760 Speaker 1: just cassette tapes. I was listening to him and his 1293 01:40:42,000 --> 01:40:46,519 Speaker 1: message of peace and love and struggle and what was 1294 01:40:46,760 --> 01:40:50,640 Speaker 1: right and human dignity. It started reshaping me, and I 1295 01:40:50,720 --> 01:40:55,200 Speaker 1: began to think. I said, Okay, this can't be. He 1296 01:40:55,360 --> 01:40:58,960 Speaker 1: can't be talking about all of us and all it's 1297 01:40:59,000 --> 01:41:01,040 Speaker 1: just a few people that don't want this to work. 1298 01:41:01,479 --> 01:41:05,720 Speaker 1: And so that started reshaping me. Also, he was so 1299 01:41:06,000 --> 01:41:09,320 Speaker 1: impactful with what he said to us as a people 1300 01:41:10,320 --> 01:41:14,960 Speaker 1: that how in the world has this black man, with 1301 01:41:15,240 --> 01:41:21,720 Speaker 1: his message of love and submission and strength, caused so 1302 01:41:21,920 --> 01:41:27,200 Speaker 1: many changes in laws, affirmative action, so many things of 1303 01:41:27,360 --> 01:41:31,720 Speaker 1: that nature. It caused a lot of people to view 1304 01:41:31,840 --> 01:41:35,640 Speaker 1: us differently. When Bull Connors turned those fire hoses on 1305 01:41:35,840 --> 01:41:40,760 Speaker 1: us in Birmingham, Alabama, it it made America see what 1306 01:41:40,960 --> 01:41:44,840 Speaker 1: America really was. And America had to change a little bit, 1307 01:41:45,040 --> 01:41:46,519 Speaker 1: you know what I mean. And we still got a 1308 01:41:46,560 --> 01:41:48,640 Speaker 1: long way to go. But I looked back at marm 1309 01:41:48,760 --> 01:41:50,880 Speaker 1: Luther King and all he stood for and what he did. 1310 01:41:51,120 --> 01:41:53,160 Speaker 1: It's just one of the greatest people of my time. 1311 01:41:54,080 --> 01:41:56,000 Speaker 1: Now you may have a different opinion, but this is 1312 01:41:56,080 --> 01:41:59,200 Speaker 1: just mine. He was one of the greatest human beings 1313 01:41:59,600 --> 01:42:03,400 Speaker 1: of my time, I don't. I don't know anybody has 1314 01:42:03,439 --> 01:42:07,720 Speaker 1: made a bigger contribution to this world than him, the 1315 01:42:07,800 --> 01:42:11,519 Speaker 1: world that I live in, that I see. I don't 1316 01:42:11,560 --> 01:42:14,439 Speaker 1: know a black person that made a larger contribution. I 1317 01:42:14,600 --> 01:42:17,160 Speaker 1: don't know a white person. I don't know a person 1318 01:42:17,960 --> 01:42:23,280 Speaker 1: that's made a larger contribution that was human. I just don't. 1319 01:42:23,920 --> 01:42:27,760 Speaker 1: That's just my opinion. It's a powerful So when they 1320 01:42:27,800 --> 01:42:29,680 Speaker 1: asked me who I wanted to have dinner with, if 1321 01:42:29,680 --> 01:42:31,680 Speaker 1: I could sit down with them, three people right there, 1322 01:42:32,560 --> 01:42:40,200 Speaker 1: Muhammad Ali, Richard Prye, and mar Luther King, that's pretty 1323 01:42:40,280 --> 01:42:43,760 Speaker 1: much me. I would like to think of myself as 1324 01:42:43,800 --> 01:42:48,920 Speaker 1: a combination of those three people. My career was patterned 1325 01:42:49,040 --> 01:42:52,400 Speaker 1: after Richard Pride just wanted to be funny. Nobody will 1326 01:42:52,439 --> 01:42:54,559 Speaker 1: ever be Richard Pryde funny, but you know what I mean, 1327 01:42:54,680 --> 01:42:57,960 Speaker 1: that's what I wanted to be. I try to be 1328 01:42:58,040 --> 01:43:02,680 Speaker 1: a decent person, as was Martin Luther King. I try 1329 01:43:02,760 --> 01:43:06,080 Speaker 1: to help and inspire people. But I got a lot 1330 01:43:06,160 --> 01:43:10,040 Speaker 1: of dog in me too, a lot of fight, got 1331 01:43:10,080 --> 01:43:13,040 Speaker 1: a lot of defiance in me. I got a lot 1332 01:43:13,080 --> 01:43:15,120 Speaker 1: of strength and a lot of courage to stand up 1333 01:43:15,120 --> 01:43:17,240 Speaker 1: and say what I Sometimes I do stuff that ain't 1334 01:43:17,280 --> 01:43:19,920 Speaker 1: so popular. I say stuff that ain't so popular, and 1335 01:43:20,000 --> 01:43:22,000 Speaker 1: that's a little bit of our leaves. So those three 1336 01:43:22,080 --> 01:43:25,839 Speaker 1: people right there, they shaped me, along with the greatest 1337 01:43:25,920 --> 01:43:31,960 Speaker 1: man I've ever known, the incredible Jesse Slick Harvey Man. 1338 01:43:32,200 --> 01:43:35,200 Speaker 1: Thank you, Daddy for being a piece of all of 1339 01:43:35,280 --> 01:43:39,040 Speaker 1: them too, with your bad black self.
