00:00:00,480 --> 00:00:03,920
Speaker 1: On this past Saturday, March seventh, Reverend Jesse Jackson Senior

2
00:00:04,040 --> 00:00:07,680
Speaker 1: was laid to rest in Oakwood Cemetery in Chicago. His

3
00:00:07,840 --> 00:00:12,360
Speaker 1: burial followed a week of high profile homegoing services to

4
00:00:12,440 --> 00:00:16,480
Speaker 1: honor his legacy as a civil rights icon. The People's

5
00:00:16,520 --> 00:00:19,759
Speaker 1: Celebration was held on Friday, March sixth, at the House

6
00:00:19,800 --> 00:00:23,160
Speaker 1: of Hope in Chicago, and it featured eulogies from former

7
00:00:23,200 --> 00:00:27,040
Speaker 1: Presidents Barack Obama, Bill Clinton, and Joe Biden, as well

8
00:00:27,080 --> 00:00:30,120
Speaker 1: as remarks from former Vice President Kamala Harris and Reverend

9
00:00:30,120 --> 00:00:33,840
Speaker 1: Al Sharpton. Following the memorial service for his beloved father,

10
00:00:34,000 --> 00:00:39,760
Speaker 1: Reverend Jesse Jackson Junior expressed a significant frustration with the

11
00:00:39,760 --> 00:00:44,320
Speaker 1: Democratic speakers for delivering quote, campaign style speeches and politicizing

12
00:00:44,360 --> 00:00:49,040
Speaker 1: the moment by criticizing Donald Trump. Jesse Jr. Reportedly Said

13
00:00:49,040 --> 00:00:51,800
Speaker 1: that the speakers did not truly know his father, and

14
00:00:51,880 --> 00:00:55,040
Speaker 1: he added quote I listened for several hours to three

15
00:00:55,240 --> 00:01:00,040
Speaker 1: United States presidents who do not know Jesse Jackson. I

16
00:01:00,080 --> 00:01:02,639
Speaker 1: mean he was upset about this that they came in

17
00:01:02,720 --> 00:01:05,679
Speaker 1: and what he said was they politicized these I.

18
00:01:07,080 --> 00:01:10,560
Speaker 2: Saw his reaction to that, Shirley, and I mean it's

19
00:01:10,600 --> 00:01:13,160
Speaker 2: his father, So who am I to tell him how

20
00:01:13,200 --> 00:01:15,880
Speaker 2: to feel about that? So he has the right to

21
00:01:15,920 --> 00:01:18,600
Speaker 2: say what he want to say. But at the same time,

22
00:01:19,000 --> 00:01:23,840
Speaker 2: the fact that three United States presidents they came as

23
00:01:23,880 --> 00:01:28,279
Speaker 2: a show of respect to him, I thought was big

24
00:01:29,360 --> 00:01:35,080
Speaker 2: because it was really more telling who wasn't there. And

25
00:01:35,440 --> 00:01:38,440
Speaker 2: I thought that was the case for me. But you know,

26
00:01:38,920 --> 00:01:43,319
Speaker 2: I also wanted to say, ninety eight percent of the

27
00:01:43,440 --> 00:01:50,720
Speaker 2: people in the building did not know your father, you

28
00:01:50,760 --> 00:01:51,240
Speaker 2: know what I mean?

29
00:01:51,560 --> 00:01:55,680
Speaker 1: On a person to pay their respects on a personal level.

30
00:01:55,760 --> 00:01:59,240
Speaker 2: Yeah, did he not want these past presidents to be

31
00:01:59,360 --> 00:01:59,880
Speaker 2: there at all?

32
00:02:00,560 --> 00:02:02,680
Speaker 1: Or just the fact that they talked about politics?

33
00:02:03,320 --> 00:02:06,120
Speaker 2: Well, you know, I don't know, man. Like I said, man,

34
00:02:06,320 --> 00:02:08,560
Speaker 2: you know, he grieved and I can't say nothing about

35
00:02:08,560 --> 00:02:10,960
Speaker 2: how he a grieved. But I thought it was a

36
00:02:11,000 --> 00:02:14,720
Speaker 2: sign of respect that that level of person would come,

37
00:02:15,360 --> 00:02:18,679
Speaker 2: as well as a sign of disrespect as to who

38
00:02:18,800 --> 00:02:21,679
Speaker 2: didn't come. And the fact that they wouldn't allow him

39
00:02:21,680 --> 00:02:29,280
Speaker 2: to lie in state at the Capitol. Yeah, yes, And

40
00:02:29,400 --> 00:02:33,280
Speaker 2: like Pastor Jamal Bryan said, you know, the service wouldn't

41
00:02:33,280 --> 00:02:35,400
Speaker 2: have took so long, but we weren't allowed to have

42
00:02:35,440 --> 00:02:38,239
Speaker 2: the service at the Capitol. Because the capital is now

43
00:02:38,720 --> 00:02:41,359
Speaker 2: reserved for pedophiles and podcasters.

44
00:02:42,360 --> 00:02:45,120
Speaker 1: Wow, that was dope.

45
00:02:45,639 --> 00:02:49,160
Speaker 2: Yeah, we weren't allowed to have the service.

46
00:02:49,400 --> 00:02:53,240
Speaker 1: Yeah, you know, and Jackson meant a lot to this country.

47
00:02:53,320 --> 00:02:54,560
Speaker 1: I mean, come on now.

48
00:02:54,919 --> 00:02:59,280
Speaker 2: That dude when he was on point, he was on point.

49
00:03:00,160 --> 00:03:03,880
Speaker 1: Our people, Yes, civil rights and all the things we

50
00:03:03,960 --> 00:03:05,959
Speaker 1: have to continue to fight every day. Yeah, he left

51
00:03:06,000 --> 00:03:13,320
Speaker 1: a hole, definitely. Yeah. All right, all right, rip Reverend

52

Speaker 1: Jesse Jackson, and coming up at thirty four minutes after
