Speaker 1: You know I want to remind everybody today that you

14
00:02:19,280 --> 00:02:22,359
Speaker 1: got to keep pressing forward. Man. I know it gets

15
00:02:22,440 --> 00:02:26,120
Speaker 1: difficult out there sometimes, but you got to keep pressing forward.

16
00:02:26,639 --> 00:02:29,760
Speaker 1: There's nothing else for you to do. The option of quitting,

17
00:02:30,280 --> 00:02:34,880
Speaker 1: turning back, giving up it cannot be there. The thoughts

18
00:02:34,960 --> 00:02:37,239
Speaker 1: can pop into your head, but when they do, you

19
00:02:37,360 --> 00:02:39,720
Speaker 1: got to pray about it. But you got to keep

20
00:02:39,800 --> 00:02:43,840
Speaker 1: pressing forward. You got to keep it moving. Man. I

21
00:02:44,160 --> 00:02:46,200
Speaker 1: don't care how dark and dirty it get for you.

22
00:02:46,720 --> 00:02:49,480
Speaker 1: You got to somehow summing it up within you to

23
00:02:49,680 --> 00:02:53,280
Speaker 1: keep it moving, to keep pressing forward, because the only

24
00:02:53,360 --> 00:02:55,040
Speaker 1: way you're gonna get it is you got to stay

25
00:02:55,080 --> 00:02:57,239
Speaker 1: in the race. You know, you've heard it said a

26
00:02:57,360 --> 00:02:59,720
Speaker 1: thousand times. The race isn't given to the swift, but

27
00:02:59,800 --> 00:03:01,720
Speaker 1: to him that didn't do it to the end. You

28
00:03:01,840 --> 00:03:04,239
Speaker 1: got to stay with it, whatever it is. I don't

29
00:03:04,280 --> 00:03:06,120
Speaker 1: know what it is for you, but whatever it is,

30
00:03:06,240 --> 00:03:11,560
Speaker 1: you got to stay with it. Because Quentin, Quentin, don't Quentin,

31
00:03:11,639 --> 00:03:14,240
Speaker 1: don't let you see the end result, give it up.

32
00:03:14,320 --> 00:03:16,760
Speaker 1: Don't let you see the end results. Turning back, don't

33
00:03:16,840 --> 00:03:18,880
Speaker 1: let you see the end. The only way to see

34
00:03:18,880 --> 00:03:21,200
Speaker 1: the end results is you got to finish the race.

35
00:03:21,480 --> 00:03:24,280
Speaker 1: You got to stay in the race because the victory

36
00:03:24,400 --> 00:03:27,200
Speaker 1: may be nearer than it seems. There's a poem I

37
00:03:27,360 --> 00:03:31,160
Speaker 1: learned in college under some stressful situations, I just said

38
00:03:31,280 --> 00:03:34,320
Speaker 1: like that. There is a stanza in this poem called

39
00:03:34,440 --> 00:03:38,640
Speaker 1: don't Quit. This says, often the goal is nearer than

40
00:03:38,760 --> 00:03:43,560
Speaker 1: it seems to a faint and a faltering man, And

41
00:03:43,880 --> 00:03:48,000
Speaker 1: often the struggler has given up when he might have

42
00:03:48,240 --> 00:03:52,920
Speaker 1: captured the victor's cup, and he learns too late when

43
00:03:52,960 --> 00:03:56,720
Speaker 1: the night came down, how close he was to the

44
00:03:56,840 --> 00:04:00,960
Speaker 1: golden crown. Now that's just a stanza in it. The

45
00:04:01,120 --> 00:04:03,360
Speaker 1: poem is much longer than that. I know the whole

46
00:04:03,440 --> 00:04:08,240
Speaker 1: thing because I learned it. But I've always remembered that

47
00:04:08,400 --> 00:04:13,760
Speaker 1: poem that the goal is often nearer than it seems

48
00:04:14,640 --> 00:04:18,600
Speaker 1: to a faint and a faltering man. And oftentimes the

49
00:04:18,720 --> 00:04:23,640
Speaker 1: struggler has given up when he might have captured the

50
00:04:23,760 --> 00:04:27,400
Speaker 1: victor's cup, but then he learns too late, when the

51
00:04:27,560 --> 00:04:31,480
Speaker 1: night came down, how close he was to the golden crown.

52
00:04:31,960 --> 00:04:34,320
Speaker 1: And there's the last stands of the poem says, it

53
00:04:34,480 --> 00:04:38,480
Speaker 1: may be near when it seems afar, So stick to

54
00:04:38,600 --> 00:04:42,559
Speaker 1: the fight when your hardest hit. It's when things seem

55
00:04:42,680 --> 00:04:47,280
Speaker 1: worse that you mustn't quit. That poem is really doesn't

56
00:04:47,320 --> 00:04:50,680
Speaker 1: It's an unknown author to the poem, so if you

57
00:04:50,720 --> 00:04:53,280
Speaker 1: want to look it up, it's called don't Quit. The

58
00:04:53,440 --> 00:04:57,760
Speaker 1: author is unknown. They never knew who it was. But

59
00:04:57,960 --> 00:05:00,520
Speaker 1: you know, I'm talking to you today from this dandpoint

60
00:05:00,560 --> 00:05:03,480
Speaker 1: of encouragement. I want to show you an analogy that

61
00:05:03,560 --> 00:05:06,479
Speaker 1: I tripped on this morning when I was thinking about

62
00:05:07,760 --> 00:05:11,880
Speaker 1: something I wanted and I was thinking, you know, okay,

63
00:05:12,560 --> 00:05:15,480
Speaker 1: if you have a job, the way you have to

64
00:05:15,560 --> 00:05:17,520
Speaker 1: do your job, your job forces you to do this,

65
00:05:17,640 --> 00:05:19,880
Speaker 1: so you can't just randomly do this on your job.

66
00:05:20,520 --> 00:05:23,520
Speaker 1: A job forces you to plan ahead a little bit.

67
00:05:24,320 --> 00:05:28,040
Speaker 1: You know. A job requires that you go through the

68
00:05:28,120 --> 00:05:30,760
Speaker 1: procedures in order for something to happen that you want

69
00:05:30,839 --> 00:05:36,800
Speaker 1: to happen. Example, you want a vacation, you have to

70
00:05:36,960 --> 00:05:40,039
Speaker 1: put in for that vacation, and that's what it's called

71
00:05:40,080 --> 00:05:41,880
Speaker 1: on your job, just put in. You may dress it

72
00:05:42,000 --> 00:05:44,320
Speaker 1: up some other way, but the common sense you have

73
00:05:44,480 --> 00:05:48,760
Speaker 1: to put in. You got to do that because the

74
00:05:48,880 --> 00:05:51,480
Speaker 1: job requires it. You got to put in for your vacation.

75
00:05:52,160 --> 00:05:55,839
Speaker 1: If you want a promotion and you see it post

76
00:05:55,960 --> 00:05:58,760
Speaker 1: it somewhere that we are now have a position opening,

77
00:05:59,040 --> 00:06:01,440
Speaker 1: you got to put in for that. You just can't

78
00:06:01,560 --> 00:06:05,640
Speaker 1: sit back and hope they pick you, because they're probably

79
00:06:05,720 --> 00:06:08,320
Speaker 1: going to pick the person who wants it, who shows

80
00:06:08,360 --> 00:06:11,160
Speaker 1: the initiative to go get it. So you have to

81
00:06:11,240 --> 00:06:13,520
Speaker 1: put in for a promotion on a lot of jobs.

82
00:06:14,200 --> 00:06:18,719
Speaker 1: If you want some days off, a couple of days here,

83
00:06:18,880 --> 00:06:21,160
Speaker 1: a couple of days there, you got to put in

84
00:06:21,440 --> 00:06:24,520
Speaker 1: for that. But all of these are things that you want.

85
00:06:24,640 --> 00:06:27,040
Speaker 1: You want vacations, you want a day off here, and

86
00:06:27,160 --> 00:06:31,080
Speaker 1: now you want some promotions. If you want to raise,

87
00:06:31,720 --> 00:06:37,800
Speaker 1: you have to go in and request a raise. It

88
00:06:38,040 --> 00:06:41,480
Speaker 1: requires an action on your part on your job. And

89
00:06:41,640 --> 00:06:44,200
Speaker 1: guess what, we've all accepted this as this is the

90
00:06:44,240 --> 00:06:46,400
Speaker 1: way it's done. You want to raise, you have to

91
00:06:46,480 --> 00:06:48,200
Speaker 1: put in for a raise. You want to raise, you

92
00:06:48,279 --> 00:06:49,760
Speaker 1: got to go in and have a meeting and take

93
00:06:49,760 --> 00:06:52,000
Speaker 1: a request so you can show your value to get

94
00:06:52,040 --> 00:06:54,280
Speaker 1: to raise. You want a vacation time, you got to

95
00:06:54,320 --> 00:06:56,200
Speaker 1: put in for that. And then they got they could

96
00:06:56,240 --> 00:06:58,720
Speaker 1: tell you, yeah, your name, you want a promotion, same

97
00:06:58,880 --> 00:07:01,520
Speaker 1: thing you want some day is all same thing. Okay,

98
00:07:01,560 --> 00:07:04,000
Speaker 1: that's to deal with your job. Well, that's to deal

99
00:07:04,080 --> 00:07:07,760
Speaker 1: with your life too. That exact picture that I paint

100
00:07:07,800 --> 00:07:09,880
Speaker 1: it for you that you're all so very much aware

101
00:07:09,920 --> 00:07:12,120
Speaker 1: of that. You're very crystal clear on the rules and

102
00:07:12,200 --> 00:07:14,920
Speaker 1: regulations that you have no problem following him the same

103
00:07:15,040 --> 00:07:17,080
Speaker 1: rules for your life. What you mean by that, Steve,

104
00:07:17,320 --> 00:07:20,840
Speaker 1: you got to put in with God. You got to

105
00:07:20,920 --> 00:07:25,760
Speaker 1: put in for what you want with God all you

106
00:07:25,920 --> 00:07:29,160
Speaker 1: and it's as simple as that you put in. See,

107
00:07:30,480 --> 00:07:33,040
Speaker 1: you know you want some more of this, some more

108
00:07:33,200 --> 00:07:36,160
Speaker 1: that you got to put in with God. You put

109
00:07:36,240 --> 00:07:38,080
Speaker 1: in with your job. You go down, then ask that

110
00:07:38,200 --> 00:07:40,440
Speaker 1: man what you want and you ain't got no problem

111
00:07:40,560 --> 00:07:44,000
Speaker 1: following the rules. Well, put in with God what you

112
00:07:44,080 --> 00:07:48,720
Speaker 1: want or your list? What's your requests? What? What? What? What? What?

113
00:07:48,840 --> 00:07:51,520
Speaker 1: Do you really want? How much money you really trying

114
00:07:51,560 --> 00:07:54,320
Speaker 1: to make? Were you really trying to live? What kind

115
00:07:54,400 --> 00:07:56,560
Speaker 1: of career and job would you really like to have?

116
00:07:57,000 --> 00:07:59,080
Speaker 1: What kind of person would you really like to be?

117
00:08:00,720 --> 00:08:03,160
Speaker 1: What type of family are you hoping and wishing for?

118
00:08:03,560 --> 00:08:05,520
Speaker 1: Who is the person you want in your life? What

119
00:08:05,680 --> 00:08:08,280
Speaker 1: type of person do you? What's the relationship you're looking for?

120
00:08:09,000 --> 00:08:11,000
Speaker 1: What you want? You got to put in for that.

121
00:08:11,800 --> 00:08:13,240
Speaker 1: You got to put in. You got to go to

122
00:08:13,360 --> 00:08:15,320
Speaker 1: God and put in for that. See where follow the

123
00:08:15,440 --> 00:08:18,240
Speaker 1: rules set to us up, set us up and set

124
00:08:18,360 --> 00:08:21,760
Speaker 1: up by us in a system? But were simple rules

125
00:08:21,840 --> 00:08:24,160
Speaker 1: of putting in for your life? Man, we don't even

126
00:08:24,280 --> 00:08:26,760
Speaker 1: do that. I wish I would put in for a

127
00:08:26,880 --> 00:08:28,720
Speaker 1: job and not put in for God. You gotta be

128
00:08:28,800 --> 00:08:31,600
Speaker 1: kidding me. You think this man that has this company

129
00:08:32,000 --> 00:08:34,400
Speaker 1: has more to offer to you in terms of vacation

130
00:08:34,520 --> 00:08:39,280
Speaker 1: promos and raisors than God God for you for your life? Man,

131
00:08:39,360 --> 00:08:41,560
Speaker 1: you keep putting too much faith in man, that's what's

132
00:08:41,640 --> 00:08:43,960
Speaker 1: wrong with us. I show hope he give me this rais,

133
00:08:44,080 --> 00:08:46,000
Speaker 1: I'll show home. I don't even go to people with that.

134
00:08:46,920 --> 00:08:50,520
Speaker 1: I go to God about it. Then God touched in

135
00:08:50,640 --> 00:08:54,040
Speaker 1: people's hearts. Then when I walk in there, it's already done.

136
00:08:55,640 --> 00:08:58,319
Speaker 1: That's how you capture this thing, folks. This is not

137
00:08:58,440 --> 00:09:03,719
Speaker 1: a magic trick. It's just a real simple understanding. Why

138
00:09:03,760 --> 00:09:05,400
Speaker 1: would you not put it in with God? If you're

139
00:09:05,440 --> 00:09:07,440
Speaker 1: gonna put in on your job? Don't make no sense.

140
00:09:07,480 --> 00:09:10,840
Speaker 1: Where you get the job from? Where your job, where

141
00:09:10,880 --> 00:09:13,840
Speaker 1: your boss get his position from? Why did this company

142
00:09:13,960 --> 00:09:16,280
Speaker 1: come from? See when you peel back to but now?

143
00:09:16,360 --> 00:09:18,760
Speaker 1: They all make a lot of sense, don't it. It

144
00:09:18,880 --> 00:09:21,280
Speaker 1: really does. And I'm just a common sense guy. You know. Look,

145
00:09:21,320 --> 00:09:23,240
Speaker 1: I don't have the education that a lot of people have,

146
00:09:24,160 --> 00:09:27,880
Speaker 1: but I gotta show show enough bunch of life experience. Though.

147
00:09:28,520 --> 00:09:30,920
Speaker 1: Oh I've been I've been getting smacked and knocked down

148
00:09:31,320 --> 00:09:34,280
Speaker 1: the majority of my life. Oh I may look good

149
00:09:34,320 --> 00:09:36,480
Speaker 1: to you now there look like he got a shine

150
00:09:36,520 --> 00:09:38,400
Speaker 1: going on. And I am grateful to God for my

151
00:09:38,520 --> 00:09:40,520
Speaker 1: life that I got now because this show ain't the

152
00:09:40,600 --> 00:09:42,920
Speaker 1: one I had but I got news for you. It

153
00:09:43,000 --> 00:09:44,760
Speaker 1: ain't the one I thought I was gonna have until

154
00:09:44,760 --> 00:09:47,880
Speaker 1: I put it in for. I ain't seen none of

155
00:09:47,920 --> 00:09:50,280
Speaker 1: this until I put in for. And you know, after

156
00:09:50,360 --> 00:09:53,080
Speaker 1: as I saw it shaping informing, then I said, God,

157
00:09:53,160 --> 00:09:55,640
Speaker 1: could that really be happening? I wonder if you could

158
00:09:55,720 --> 00:09:58,599
Speaker 1: make me this? Lord? I was wondering, Man, could I

159
00:09:58,720 --> 00:10:02,120
Speaker 1: really have a syndicate radio show? Lord, I'm make it

160
00:10:02,200 --> 00:10:04,040
Speaker 1: happen if it's in your way. I put in for,

161
00:10:05,080 --> 00:10:07,720
Speaker 1: I put in for it. Now. I'm working my tail

162
00:10:07,800 --> 00:10:10,400
Speaker 1: off now because that's a part of it. See. But

163
00:10:10,520 --> 00:10:13,160
Speaker 1: then God tells you that too. He says, faith without

164
00:10:13,240 --> 00:10:18,160
Speaker 1: works is dead. Or I'm working my behind off. But

165
00:10:18,280 --> 00:10:21,679
Speaker 1: the big thing is I put in for it. So

166
00:10:21,840 --> 00:10:23,400
Speaker 1: I got a bunch of more stuff that I didn't

167
00:10:23,400 --> 00:10:25,280
Speaker 1: put in for God. I can't tell y'all what it is,

168
00:10:25,400 --> 00:10:30,839
Speaker 1: but oh, Lord, have mercy. I'm in line. I'm putting

169
00:10:30,880 --> 00:10:35,199
Speaker 1: in for all the blessings that's due me. If there's

170
00:10:35,200 --> 00:10:38,160
Speaker 1: a ray, If God's plassing out of raising blessings, I'm

171
00:10:38,280 --> 00:10:41,440
Speaker 1: lined up. He passing out of promotion, He's gonna promote

172
00:10:41,440 --> 00:10:44,000
Speaker 1: some more blessings. I'm lined up. He want to send

173
00:10:44,080 --> 00:10:48,080
Speaker 1: me on a bigger vacation. I'm lined up. He passing

00:10:48,160 --> 00:10:51,920
Speaker 1: out extra checks down at the job. I'm lined up

00:10:51,960 --> 00:10:54,320
Speaker 1: because I'm putting in. Why don't you put in too?

176
00:10:54,520 --> 00:10:56,800
Speaker 1: Come on, y'all talk to God. He loved to hear

00:11:13,840 --> 00:11:16,319
Speaker 1: is the most This is the biggest national holiday though,

Speaker 1: or for a person. For me, mar Luther King, you

Speaker 1: I got one of the strongest ass womans of my life.

192
00:12:44,040 --> 00:12:48,280
Speaker 1: One time, my mama said sang another note, and I

00:12:48,360 --> 00:13:00,800
Speaker 1: went to be a smart she backheaded my plane. So

00:13:03,240 --> 00:13:09,600
Speaker 1: that's why my limps is decided. I was just singing

00:13:34,000 --> 00:13:44,080

00:13:44,160 --> 00:13:52,839
Speaker 1: man smart, that's IM singing, she said. She slapped me

201
00:13:52,920 --> 00:13:55,440
Speaker 1: so hard, man, she busted my limp I sit back.

202
00:13:55,720 --> 00:14:00,560
Speaker 1: My brother said, man, you bought a stupid That's funny anyway. Man,

203
00:14:00,600 --> 00:14:02,800
Speaker 1: Welcome to the show, everybody. We're gonna celebrate the life

204
00:14:02,800 --> 00:14:05,120
Speaker 1: from Martin Luther King today. We're gonna be talking about

205
00:14:05,240 --> 00:14:08,000
Speaker 1: all the great stuff. He deserves it. He really really does.

206
00:14:08,200 --> 00:14:09,800
Speaker 1: All right, we'll be back with more of the Steve

207
00:14:09,880 --> 00:14:12,360
Speaker 1: Harvey Morning Show on this doctor Martin Luther King day.

208
00:14:12,679 --> 00:14:19,360
Speaker 1: Right after this. You're listening morning show right now. Here's

209
00:14:19,360 --> 00:14:22,280
Speaker 1: the drum major sting speech on the Steve Harvey Morning Show.

210
00:14:22,400 --> 00:14:27,800
Speaker 1: An instinct, it's a kind of drum major instinct. A

211
00:14:28,000 --> 00:14:32,920
Speaker 1: desire to be out front, a desire to lead the parade,

212
00:14:33,000 --> 00:14:39,280
Speaker 1: a desire to be first. It is something that runs

213
00:14:39,400 --> 00:14:47,440
Speaker 1: a whole gamut of life. And so before we condemn them,

214
00:14:48,800 --> 00:14:52,239
Speaker 1: let us see that we all have the drum major instinct.

215
00:14:53,440 --> 00:14:59,360
Speaker 1: We all want to be important, to surpass others, to

216
00:14:59,520 --> 00:15:08,000
Speaker 1: achieve distinction, to lead the parade. Alfred Adler the Great,

217
00:15:09,160 --> 00:15:16,440
Speaker 1: a psychoanalyst, contends that this is the dominant impulse. Sigmund

218
00:15:16,480 --> 00:15:20,280
Speaker 1: Fraud used to contend that sex was the dominant impulse,

219
00:15:20,400 --> 00:15:23,920
Speaker 1: and Adla came with a new argument, saying that this

220
00:15:24,320 --> 00:15:32,000
Speaker 1: quest for recognition, this desire for attenion, this desire for distinction,

221
00:15:34,080 --> 00:15:40,080
Speaker 1: is the basic impulse, the basic drive of human human life,

222
00:15:40,240 --> 00:15:46,120
Speaker 1: this drum major instinct. And you know, we begin earlier

223
00:15:46,240 --> 00:15:51,880
Speaker 1: to ask life to put us first. Our first cry

224
00:15:52,160 --> 00:15:58,520
Speaker 1: as a baby was a bid for attension, and all

225
00:15:58,680 --> 00:16:04,320
Speaker 1: through childhood the drum major impulse or instinct is a

226
00:16:04,520 --> 00:16:13,480
Speaker 1: major obsession. Children ask life to grant them first place.

227
00:16:15,600 --> 00:16:22,160
Speaker 1: They are a little bundle of ego. They have innately

228
00:16:24,640 --> 00:16:30,280
Speaker 1: the drum major instinct. Now an adult life, we still

229
00:16:30,480 --> 00:16:35,760
Speaker 1: have it, and we really never get by it. We

230
00:16:35,960 --> 00:16:39,360
Speaker 1: like to do something good, and you know, we like

231
00:16:39,560 --> 00:16:43,720
Speaker 1: to be praised for it. Now, if you don't believe that,

232
00:16:45,320 --> 00:16:47,960
Speaker 1: you just go on living life, and you will discover

233
00:16:48,560 --> 00:16:53,600
Speaker 1: very soon that you like to be praised. Everybody likes it,

234
00:16:53,720 --> 00:16:58,960
Speaker 1: as a matter of fact. And somehow this warm glow

235
00:16:59,120 --> 00:17:03,280
Speaker 1: we feel when we are praised or when our name

236
00:17:03,680 --> 00:17:08,000
Speaker 1: is in print is something of the vitamin aid to

237
00:17:08,200 --> 00:17:15,679
Speaker 1: our ego. Nobody is unhappy when they are praised, even

238
00:17:15,840 --> 00:17:18,159
Speaker 1: if they know they don't deserve it, and even if

239
00:17:18,200 --> 00:17:22,560
Speaker 1: they don't believe it. The only unhappy people about praise

240
00:17:22,800 --> 00:17:26,520
Speaker 1: is when that praise is going too much towards somebody else.

241
00:17:28,160 --> 00:17:33,640
Speaker 1: But everybody likes to be praised because of this real

242
00:17:34,040 --> 00:17:39,000
Speaker 1: drum major instinct. Do you know that a lot of

243
00:17:39,040 --> 00:17:43,200
Speaker 1: the race problem grows out of the drum major instinct,

244
00:17:44,600 --> 00:17:51,600
Speaker 1: A need that some people have to feel superior, A

245
00:17:51,800 --> 00:17:56,280
Speaker 1: need that some people have to feel that they are first,

246
00:17:56,480 --> 00:18:00,880
Speaker 1: and to feel that their white skin are gained them

247
00:18:01,080 --> 00:18:07,639
Speaker 1: to be first. They have said over and over the

248
00:18:07,720 --> 00:18:13,800
Speaker 1: game in ways that we see with our own eyes.

249
00:18:13,920 --> 00:18:16,720
Speaker 1: In fact, not too long ago, a man down in

250
00:18:16,920 --> 00:18:21,080
Speaker 1: Mississippis said that God was a child a member of

251
00:18:21,240 --> 00:18:29,640
Speaker 1: the White Citizens Council. And so God being the child

252
00:18:29,680 --> 00:18:33,679
Speaker 1: a member means that everybody who's in that has us

253
00:18:33,840 --> 00:18:38,160
Speaker 1: a kind of divinity, a kind of superiority. And think

254
00:18:38,240 --> 00:18:42,640
Speaker 1: of what has happened in historism as a result, dis

255
00:18:42,760 --> 00:18:47,359
Speaker 1: perverted use of the drum mage instincts led to the

256
00:18:47,480 --> 00:18:52,920
Speaker 1: most tragic prejudice, the most tragic expressions of man's inhumanity

257
00:18:53,000 --> 00:18:56,879
Speaker 1: to man. I mean, not only does this thing go

258
00:18:57,040 --> 00:19:03,199
Speaker 1: into the racial struggle, goes into the struggle between nations.

259
00:19:04,280 --> 00:19:06,920
Speaker 1: And I would submit to you this morning that what

260
00:19:07,200 --> 00:19:09,159
Speaker 1: is wrong in the world today is that the nations

261
00:19:09,200 --> 00:19:12,600
Speaker 1: of the world are engaged in a bitter, colossal contest

262
00:19:12,680 --> 00:19:18,159
Speaker 1: for supremacy, and some doesn't having to stop this trend.

263
00:19:18,920 --> 00:19:23,640
Speaker 1: I'm sorely afred that we won't be here to talk

264
00:19:23,680 --> 00:19:27,800
Speaker 1: about Jesus Christ and about God and about brotherhood too

265
00:19:27,880 --> 00:19:36,320
Speaker 1: many more years. Somebody done bringing into this suicidal thrust

266
00:19:36,400 --> 00:19:40,479
Speaker 1: that we see in the world today. None of us

267
00:19:40,480 --> 00:19:44,680
Speaker 1: are gonna be around because somebody is gonna make the mistake,

268
00:19:44,760 --> 00:19:49,440
Speaker 1: through our senseless blunderings, of dropping a nuclear bomb somewhere,

269
00:19:49,640 --> 00:19:52,239
Speaker 1: and then another one is gonna drop. And don't let

270
00:19:52,320 --> 00:19:57,640
Speaker 1: anybody fool you, this can happen within a matter of seconds.

271
00:19:58,200 --> 00:20:02,200
Speaker 1: They have twenty megaton b in Russia right now. That

272
00:20:02,359 --> 00:20:04,800
Speaker 1: can destroy US city as big as New York in

273
00:20:04,960 --> 00:20:08,760
Speaker 1: three seconds with everybody wiped away in every building, And

274
00:20:08,920 --> 00:20:11,320
Speaker 1: we can do the same thing to Russian China. But

275
00:20:11,520 --> 00:20:13,920
Speaker 1: this is why we are drifted, and we are drifting

276
00:20:14,040 --> 00:20:19,240
Speaker 1: now because nations are caught up with the German major instinct.

277
00:20:19,520 --> 00:20:23,040
Speaker 1: I must be first, I must be supreme all a

278
00:20:23,200 --> 00:20:27,440
Speaker 1: nation must rule the world. And I am sad to

279
00:20:27,600 --> 00:20:30,720
Speaker 1: say that the nation in which we live is the

280
00:20:30,840 --> 00:20:35,040
Speaker 1: supreme culprit. And I'm going to continue to say it

281
00:20:35,119 --> 00:20:39,320
Speaker 1: to America because I love this country too much to

282
00:20:39,440 --> 00:20:43,240
Speaker 1: see the drift that it has taken. God didn't call

283
00:20:43,359 --> 00:20:46,360
Speaker 1: America to do what she's doing in the world now.

284
00:20:47,840 --> 00:20:52,400
Speaker 1: God didn't call America to engage in a senseless, unjust

285
00:20:52,520 --> 00:20:56,920
Speaker 1: war as a war in Vietnam, and we are criminals

286
00:20:57,000 --> 00:21:00,240
Speaker 1: in that war. We've committed more war crimes are most

287
00:21:00,280 --> 00:21:01,920
Speaker 1: in any nation in the world. And I'm going to

288
00:21:02,000 --> 00:21:05,560
Speaker 1: continue to say it, and we won't stop it the

289
00:21:05,720 --> 00:21:09,359
Speaker 1: course of our pride. And I aracan sas the nation.

290
00:21:09,960 --> 00:21:12,560
Speaker 1: But God has a way of even putting nations in

291
00:21:12,680 --> 00:21:16,200
Speaker 1: that place. The God that I worship has a way

292
00:21:16,280 --> 00:21:21,120
Speaker 1: of saying, don't play with me. He has a way

293
00:21:21,160 --> 00:21:25,320
Speaker 1: of saying. Is the God of the Old Testament used

294
00:21:25,320 --> 00:21:30,280
Speaker 1: to say the Hebrews don't play with measure, don't play

295
00:21:30,359 --> 00:21:35,439
Speaker 1: with Smith Babylon. Be still and know that I'm God.

296
00:21:37,240 --> 00:21:40,159
Speaker 1: If you don't stop your reckless course, I'll rise up

297
00:21:40,440 --> 00:21:45,520
Speaker 1: and break the backbone of your power. That can happen

298
00:21:45,600 --> 00:21:49,200
Speaker 1: to America every nine Then I go back and read

299
00:21:49,280 --> 00:21:53,200
Speaker 1: Gibbons Decline and fall of the Roman Empire. When I

300
00:21:53,400 --> 00:21:56,800
Speaker 1: come and look at America, I'll say to myself, the

301
00:21:57,000 --> 00:22:03,879
Speaker 1: parallels are frightening. We'll be right back. Y'all're listening, Welcome

302
00:22:03,920 --> 00:22:05,800
Speaker 1: back to the ride. We will continue with more of

303
00:22:05,920 --> 00:22:09,800
Speaker 1: doctor Kings. The drum major instinct speech. Nobody is unhappy

304
00:22:10,720 --> 00:22:13,800
Speaker 1: when they are praised, even if they know they don't

305
00:22:13,840 --> 00:22:17,520
Speaker 1: deserve it, and even if they don't believe it. The

306
00:22:17,640 --> 00:22:21,200
Speaker 1: only unhappy people about praise is when that praise is

307
00:22:21,280 --> 00:22:26,960
Speaker 1: going too much towards somebody else. But everybody likes to

308
00:22:27,080 --> 00:22:34,240
Speaker 1: be praised because of this real drum major instinct. Do

309
00:22:34,400 --> 00:22:37,399
Speaker 1: you know that a lot of the race problem grows

310
00:22:37,480 --> 00:22:42,440
Speaker 1: out of the drum major instinct, a need that some

311
00:22:42,680 --> 00:22:49,840
Speaker 1: people have to feel superior a need that some people

312
00:22:49,960 --> 00:22:54,200
Speaker 1: have to feel that they are first, and to feel

313
00:22:54,800 --> 00:23:02,600
Speaker 1: that their white skin ordain them to be first. And

314
00:23:02,760 --> 00:23:06,800
Speaker 1: they have said over and over the game in ways

315
00:23:07,200 --> 00:23:11,520
Speaker 1: that we see with our own eyes. In fact, not

316
00:23:11,680 --> 00:23:15,080
Speaker 1: too long ago, a man down in Mississippis said that

317
00:23:15,280 --> 00:23:19,760
Speaker 1: God was a child a member of the white citizens Council.

318
00:23:24,320 --> 00:23:27,840
Speaker 1: And so God being the child a member means that

319
00:23:28,119 --> 00:23:32,159
Speaker 1: everybody who's in that has us a kind of divinity,

320
00:23:32,240 --> 00:23:36,000
Speaker 1: a kind of superiority. And think of what has happened

321
00:23:36,000 --> 00:23:41,800
Speaker 1: in historism as a result, disperverted use of the drum

322
00:23:41,920 --> 00:23:46,760
Speaker 1: major instincts led to the most tragic prejudice, the most

323
00:23:46,800 --> 00:23:53,760
Speaker 1: tragic expressions of man's inhumanity to man. I mean, not

324
00:23:53,880 --> 00:23:59,280
Speaker 1: only does this thing go into the racial struggle, goes

325
00:23:59,480 --> 00:24:04,240
Speaker 1: into the struggle between nations. And I would submit to

326
00:24:04,280 --> 00:24:06,800
Speaker 1: you this morning that what is wrong in the world

327
00:24:06,840 --> 00:24:09,040
Speaker 1: today is that the nations of the world are engaged

328
00:24:09,080 --> 00:24:15,440
Speaker 1: in a bitter, colossal contest for supremacy, and some doesn't

329
00:24:15,480 --> 00:24:20,680
Speaker 1: having to stop this trend. I'm sorely afred that we

330
00:24:20,800 --> 00:24:24,119
Speaker 1: won't be here to talk about Jesus Christ and about

331
00:24:24,240 --> 00:24:31,560
Speaker 1: God and about brotherhood too many more years somebody done

332
00:24:31,920 --> 00:24:35,840
Speaker 1: bringing into this suicidal thrust that we see in the

333
00:24:35,920 --> 00:24:41,000
Speaker 1: world today. None of us are gonna be around because

334
00:24:41,119 --> 00:24:45,520
Speaker 1: somebody is gonna make the mistake through our senseless blunderings,

335
00:24:45,760 --> 00:24:49,199
Speaker 1: of dropping a nuclear bomb somewhere, and then another one

336
00:24:49,359 --> 00:24:54,280
Speaker 1: is gonna drop. And don't let anybody fool you. This

337
00:24:54,560 --> 00:24:57,760
Speaker 1: can happen within a matter of seconds. They have twenty

338
00:24:57,840 --> 00:25:02,040
Speaker 1: megaton bombs in Russia right now that can destroy US

339
00:25:02,040 --> 00:25:04,480
Speaker 1: city as big as New York in three seconds, with

340
00:25:04,680 --> 00:25:08,119
Speaker 1: everybody wiped away in every building. And we can do

341
00:25:08,240 --> 00:25:10,800
Speaker 1: the same thing to Russian China. But this is why

342
00:25:10,880 --> 00:25:15,240
Speaker 1: we are drifted, and we are drifting now because nations

343
00:25:15,280 --> 00:25:18,800
Speaker 1: are caught up with the German major instinct. I must

344
00:25:18,920 --> 00:25:22,640
Speaker 1: be first, I must be supreme, our a nation must

345
00:25:22,760 --> 00:25:27,119
Speaker 1: rule the world. And I am sad to say that

346
00:25:27,280 --> 00:25:31,040
Speaker 1: the nation in which we live is the supreme culprit.

347
00:25:32,160 --> 00:25:34,560
Speaker 1: And I'm going to continue to say it to America

348
00:25:35,680 --> 00:25:38,639
Speaker 1: because I love this country too much to see the

349
00:25:38,760 --> 00:25:43,359
Speaker 1: drift that it has taken. God didn't call America to

350
00:25:43,520 --> 00:25:47,320
Speaker 1: do what she's doing in the world now. God didn't

351
00:25:47,359 --> 00:25:52,200
Speaker 1: call America to engage in a senseless, unjust war as

352
00:25:52,240 --> 00:25:56,240
Speaker 1: a war in Vietnam, and we are criminals in that war.

353
00:25:56,400 --> 00:25:59,600
Speaker 1: We have committed more war crimes almost than any nation

354
00:25:59,640 --> 00:26:01,560
Speaker 1: in the world. And I'm going to continue to say it,

355
00:26:02,280 --> 00:26:05,720
Speaker 1: and we won't stop it the course of our pride

356
00:26:06,400 --> 00:26:09,879
Speaker 1: and I arragan sass the nation. But God has a

357
00:26:09,960 --> 00:26:13,200
Speaker 1: way of even putting nations in that place. The God

358
00:26:13,320 --> 00:26:16,560
Speaker 1: that I worship has a way of saying, don't play

359
00:26:16,640 --> 00:26:22,920
Speaker 1: with me. He has a way of saying. Is the

360
00:26:23,080 --> 00:26:27,080
Speaker 1: God of the Old Testament used to say the Hebrews

361
00:26:27,160 --> 00:26:31,520
Speaker 1: don't play with me? Isram, don't play with Smith Babylon.

362
00:26:32,800 --> 00:26:37,600
Speaker 1: Be still and know that I'm God. If you don't

363
00:26:37,680 --> 00:26:40,879
Speaker 1: stuck your reckless course, I'll rise up and break the

364
00:26:41,080 --> 00:26:47,600
Speaker 1: backbone of your power. That can happen to America. Every

365
00:26:47,680 --> 00:26:50,520
Speaker 1: nine then I go back and read Gibbons Decline and

366
00:26:50,640 --> 00:26:53,440
Speaker 1: fall of the Roman Empire. And when I come and

367
00:26:53,720 --> 00:26:58,120
Speaker 1: look at America, I say to myself the parallels of frightening.

368
00:26:59,720 --> 00:27:06,600
Speaker 1: We have perverted the drum major instinct. Every nine and

369
00:27:06,640 --> 00:27:11,840
Speaker 1: then I guess we all think realistically, yes, about that

370
00:27:12,080 --> 00:27:16,720
Speaker 1: day when we will be victimized with what is life's

371
00:27:16,800 --> 00:27:25,480
Speaker 1: final common denominator. That's something we call death. We all

372
00:27:25,840 --> 00:27:29,159
Speaker 1: think about it, and nevernine. Then I think about my

373
00:27:29,320 --> 00:27:32,680
Speaker 1: own death, and I think about my own funeral, and

374
00:27:32,800 --> 00:27:36,640
Speaker 1: I don't think of it in a morbid sense ever.

375
00:27:36,760 --> 00:27:40,760
Speaker 1: Nine Then I asked myself, what is it that I

376
00:27:40,840 --> 00:27:44,000
Speaker 1: would want say? And I leave the word to you

377
00:27:44,160 --> 00:27:49,000
Speaker 1: this morning, if any of you are around when I

378
00:27:49,240 --> 00:27:52,400
Speaker 1: have to meet my day, I don't want a long funeral.

379
00:27:54,680 --> 00:27:57,280
Speaker 1: And if you get somebody here to deliver the unite,

380
00:27:57,280 --> 00:28:01,040
Speaker 1: you tell him not to talk to none every nine

381
00:28:01,040 --> 00:28:03,320
Speaker 1: and I wonder what I want him to say. Tell

382
00:28:03,400 --> 00:28:06,520
Speaker 1: him not to mention that I have a Nobel Peace Prize.

383
00:28:06,560 --> 00:28:10,480
Speaker 1: That isn't important. Tell him not to mention that I

384
00:28:10,640 --> 00:28:14,040
Speaker 1: have three or four hundred other awards that's not important.

385
00:28:14,080 --> 00:28:16,040
Speaker 1: Tell him not to mention where I went to school.

386
00:28:17,640 --> 00:28:21,960
Speaker 1: I like somebody to mention that day that Martin Luther

387
00:28:22,200 --> 00:28:26,040
Speaker 1: King Junior tried to give his life serving of us.

388
00:28:27,200 --> 00:28:30,639
Speaker 1: I'd like for somebody to say that day that Martein

389
00:28:30,720 --> 00:28:34,840
Speaker 1: Luther King Junior tried to love somebody. I want you

390
00:28:34,960 --> 00:28:37,360
Speaker 1: to say that day that I tried to be right

391
00:28:37,840 --> 00:28:40,920
Speaker 1: on the wall question. I want you to be able

392
00:28:40,960 --> 00:28:44,880
Speaker 1: to say that day that I did try to feed

393
00:28:45,040 --> 00:28:47,960
Speaker 1: the hungry I want you to be able to say

394
00:28:48,080 --> 00:28:51,440
Speaker 1: that day that I did try in my life to

395
00:28:51,680 --> 00:28:54,680
Speaker 1: call those who were naked. I want you to say

396
00:28:54,720 --> 00:28:57,120
Speaker 1: on him that day that I did try in my

397
00:28:57,320 --> 00:29:01,120
Speaker 1: life to visit those who were in prison. I want

398
00:29:01,160 --> 00:29:07,080
Speaker 1: you to say that I try to love and serve humanity. Yes,

399
00:29:07,240 --> 00:29:09,680
Speaker 1: if you want to say that I was a drum major,

400
00:29:10,480 --> 00:29:13,920
Speaker 1: say that I was a drum major for justice, Say

401
00:29:13,960 --> 00:29:16,920
Speaker 1: that I was a drum major for peace. I was

402
00:29:17,000 --> 00:29:20,360
Speaker 1: a drum major for righteousness. And all of the other

403
00:29:20,800 --> 00:29:24,520
Speaker 1: shall of things will nothing matter. I won't have any

404
00:29:24,680 --> 00:29:29,480
Speaker 1: money to leave behind, I won't have the fine and

405
00:29:29,720 --> 00:29:32,760
Speaker 1: luxurious things of life to leave behind. But I just

406
00:29:33,040 --> 00:29:37,200
Speaker 1: want to leave I committed life behind. And that's all

407
00:29:37,360 --> 00:29:41,000
Speaker 1: I want to say. If I can help somebody as

408
00:29:41,080 --> 00:29:45,080
Speaker 1: I pass along, if I can cheer somebody with a

409
00:29:45,200 --> 00:29:49,280
Speaker 1: world a song, if I can show somebody he's traveling wrong,

410
00:29:49,920 --> 00:29:54,160
Speaker 1: then my living will not be in vain. If I

411
00:29:54,280 --> 00:29:56,960
Speaker 1: can do my duty as a Christian arc, If I

412
00:29:57,080 --> 00:30:01,200
Speaker 1: can bring salvation to a war wants to rot. If

413
00:30:01,240 --> 00:30:05,760
Speaker 1: I can spread the message as the Master talked, then

414
00:30:05,960 --> 00:30:10,800
Speaker 1: my living we'll not be in vain. Yes, Jesus, I

415
00:30:10,960 --> 00:30:12,800
Speaker 1: want to be on your right or your left side,

416
00:30:13,600 --> 00:30:17,040
Speaker 1: not for a selfish reason. I want to be on

417
00:30:17,160 --> 00:30:21,040
Speaker 1: your right or your left side, not in times of

418
00:30:21,280 --> 00:30:24,760
Speaker 1: some political kingdom or ambition. And I just want to

419
00:30:24,920 --> 00:30:29,360
Speaker 1: be there in love and injustice. And I attend to

420
00:30:29,440 --> 00:30:31,920
Speaker 1: Steve Harvey Nation on this King Holiday. I want to

421
00:30:32,000 --> 00:30:34,560
Speaker 1: see y'all giving back to day. Okay, in the words

422
00:30:34,600 --> 00:30:36,960
Speaker 1: of doctor King, what are you doing for others? So

423
00:30:37,240 --> 00:30:39,400
Speaker 1: just go to any of my social media sites, my

424
00:30:39,560 --> 00:30:43,160
Speaker 1: Facebook page, Instagram or tweet me pictures. Are you doing

425
00:30:43,240 --> 00:30:46,520
Speaker 1: community service helping others? Please don't just make this a

426
00:30:46,640 --> 00:30:48,880
Speaker 1: day off, make it a day on. Okay, We'll be

427
00:30:49,000 --> 00:30:52,720
Speaker 1: right back, y'all. You're listening to Dave Harvey Morning Show,

428
00:30:54,960 --> 00:30:58,040
Speaker 1: Happy King's Day. We are here in twenty nineteen King

429
00:30:58,160 --> 00:31:01,800
Speaker 1: Holiday talking about racist him. As you know, our President

430
00:31:01,920 --> 00:31:05,680
Speaker 1: Donald Trump has denied being a racist, but the first

431
00:31:05,720 --> 00:31:09,440
Speaker 1: half of Trump's presidency has been marked by racial controversy.

432
00:31:09,920 --> 00:31:14,880
Speaker 1: The president has reportedly labeled African Americans nations as blank

433
00:31:14,960 --> 00:31:19,240
Speaker 1: hold blank hold countries. In August twenty seventeen, Trump took

434
00:31:19,320 --> 00:31:23,120
Speaker 1: heat for appearing to defend white nationalists after he said

435
00:31:23,360 --> 00:31:25,680
Speaker 1: that there were very fine people on both sides we

436
00:31:25,760 --> 00:31:30,320
Speaker 1: all remember that that was following the deadly protests in Charlottesville, Virginia.

437
00:31:30,840 --> 00:31:35,040
Speaker 1: And this is the type of thing that activists, religious leaders,

438
00:31:35,080 --> 00:31:39,240
Speaker 1: and scholars say that puts Trump's presidency in direct conflict

439
00:31:39,520 --> 00:31:43,160
Speaker 1: with the legacy of doctor King, who was assassinated April fourth,

440
00:31:43,280 --> 00:31:46,560
Speaker 1: nineteen sixty eight while trying to make America a more

441
00:31:46,680 --> 00:31:52,200
Speaker 1: inclusive society. That I don't think that Donald Trump is

442
00:31:52,280 --> 00:31:55,959
Speaker 1: aware of the efforts and greatness of Martin Luther King.

443
00:31:56,320 --> 00:31:59,920
Speaker 1: I don't expect him to say anything of any relevant

444
00:32:00,320 --> 00:32:03,480
Speaker 1: at all, and if he does, he'll have to read it.

445
00:32:04,960 --> 00:32:11,360
Speaker 1: M Yeah, because he certainly doesn't embody anything anything that

446
00:32:11,480 --> 00:32:14,760
Speaker 1: this man was about. You know, this is the same

447
00:32:14,960 --> 00:32:18,440
Speaker 1: dude that said Frederick Douglas has done some great things.

448
00:32:19,520 --> 00:32:23,479
Speaker 1: You know, he actually thought Frederick Douglas was still alive. Yes,

449
00:32:23,680 --> 00:32:27,280
Speaker 1: I remember that. Yeah, remember this dude right here, and

450
00:32:27,400 --> 00:32:32,959
Speaker 1: they're doing great work. Yeah, this dude, I don't expect

451
00:32:33,040 --> 00:32:36,880
Speaker 1: anything from him. Every president has mentioned it. If he

452
00:32:37,080 --> 00:32:39,560
Speaker 1: mentioned something, he's gonna have to read it and it

453
00:32:39,680 --> 00:32:44,760
Speaker 1: will look like he's reading. Oh, for sure. His voice

454
00:32:44,840 --> 00:32:50,000
Speaker 1: tone is different everything. There's almost no inflections in his voice.

455
00:32:50,040 --> 00:32:53,440
Speaker 1: It's quite different. When he's reading. Yeah, but when he's

456
00:32:53,680 --> 00:33:00,640
Speaker 1: off script, he's loud and then try to say right.

457
00:33:00,920 --> 00:33:02,840
Speaker 1: But when he tries to read the teleprompt he tries

458
00:33:02,880 --> 00:33:05,800
Speaker 1: to be calm about it, but it's not genuine. He's

459
00:33:05,840 --> 00:33:08,840
Speaker 1: just reading. He's just reading words. Believe what he's saying.

460
00:33:08,960 --> 00:33:13,280
Speaker 1: They're just words coming out of his mouth. Yeah, he's

461
00:33:13,320 --> 00:33:16,200
Speaker 1: just not So, you know, we those of us who

462
00:33:16,360 --> 00:33:19,680
Speaker 1: understand the legacy and what Marl Luther King, don't expect

463
00:33:19,720 --> 00:33:22,320
Speaker 1: anything from the White House no better than you've been getting.

464
00:33:22,720 --> 00:33:24,800
Speaker 1: Don't get upset. You ain't gotta be mad about it.

465
00:33:25,360 --> 00:33:28,520
Speaker 1: If he says anything, it will be read and he

466
00:33:28,680 --> 00:33:31,400
Speaker 1: will not mean it, and he won't look like it

467
00:33:31,640 --> 00:33:35,400
Speaker 1: because he embodies none of his principles, none of them.

468
00:33:35,520 --> 00:33:38,680
Speaker 1: So don't please, don't even get mad today. Let's just

469
00:33:38,800 --> 00:33:44,840
Speaker 1: go home, celebrate the brother, get on with it. It's

470
00:33:44,880 --> 00:33:48,440
Speaker 1: just I guess you know, after the Civil rights movement,

471
00:33:48,600 --> 00:33:51,800
Speaker 1: this rachel racial divide that we have in the country

472
00:33:51,920 --> 00:33:55,480
Speaker 1: right now, this is where we are. Ye in our leader,

473
00:33:56,680 --> 00:33:59,720
Speaker 1: the president is who's supposed to bring people together. He's

474
00:34:00,040 --> 00:34:04,000
Speaker 1: president for all people, the entire nation. Let me explain

475
00:34:04,120 --> 00:34:11,160
Speaker 1: something to you. Even this this government shutdown. Uh, it was.

476
00:34:11,560 --> 00:34:15,080
Speaker 1: It's all done so he can posture himself up to

477
00:34:15,560 --> 00:34:19,600
Speaker 1: feel this commitment to a minimum of Americans, a very,

478
00:34:19,719 --> 00:34:24,720
Speaker 1: very minimum of Americans. Because I heard very clearly today

479
00:34:25,200 --> 00:34:27,960
Speaker 1: some people who don't have any money, who were in

480
00:34:28,080 --> 00:34:31,080
Speaker 1: line at a food bank, who because their federal employees

481
00:34:31,120 --> 00:34:35,120
Speaker 1: say it's not fair to hold me hostage for a

482
00:34:35,239 --> 00:34:38,759
Speaker 1: wall that I don't even know nothing about. That true, true,

483
00:34:39,640 --> 00:34:42,839
Speaker 1: And that's exactly what's happening. And the President said he's

484
00:34:42,880 --> 00:34:45,239
Speaker 1: not going to back down, and he's using them as

485
00:34:45,360 --> 00:34:47,839
Speaker 1: a as a ploy, and he don't care how long

486
00:34:47,960 --> 00:34:51,840
Speaker 1: these people hurt. This is his shutdown. He asked for it,

487
00:34:52,200 --> 00:34:54,600
Speaker 1: he said he'd do it, he did it, and now

488
00:34:54,680 --> 00:34:57,560
Speaker 1: he's hurting these people and he's gonna ride it out.

489
00:34:58,000 --> 00:35:00,880
Speaker 1: Oh this is the worst. This is more important than

490
00:35:01,200 --> 00:35:05,799
Speaker 1: our our Americans, our government workers putting food on their table,

491
00:35:05,840 --> 00:35:08,239
Speaker 1: paying their rent, paying their mortgage, their car notes, their

492
00:35:08,320 --> 00:35:10,920
Speaker 1: children's tuition. How is that more important than that? I

493
00:35:10,960 --> 00:35:14,239
Speaker 1: don't get. I don't understand. He does not know pain.

494
00:35:14,520 --> 00:35:18,800
Speaker 1: He has never hurt before. Yes, Yeah, a good point, Tommy,

495
00:35:18,880 --> 00:35:21,520
Speaker 1: because he doesn't know what it's like because he's never

496
00:35:21,600 --> 00:35:24,439
Speaker 1: had to go through it. He hasn't miss a meal.

497
00:35:26,280 --> 00:35:32,440
Speaker 1: But you're supposed to be exactly He's not select. He

498
00:35:32,920 --> 00:35:39,080
Speaker 1: is simply the president for his base. He says nothing

499
00:35:39,800 --> 00:35:44,120
Speaker 1: for doctor he says nothing for black people, he says

500
00:35:44,200 --> 00:35:47,759
Speaker 1: nothing for whites who are not in his base. He

501
00:35:47,960 --> 00:35:52,680
Speaker 1: says nothing on behalf of religious freedoms. All he does

502
00:35:53,000 --> 00:35:58,200
Speaker 1: is negative policies. All of his policies are negative. He

503
00:35:58,360 --> 00:36:01,120
Speaker 1: wants to tout this fab this tax bill that he

504
00:36:01,280 --> 00:36:05,000
Speaker 1: passed that ain't worth Lotti doll when you get through

505
00:36:05,080 --> 00:36:07,040
Speaker 1: looking at has created a whole lot more debt for

506
00:36:07,120 --> 00:36:09,960
Speaker 1: the country, which is the one thing Republicans are always

507
00:36:10,000 --> 00:36:13,160
Speaker 1: beating the Democrats up about. But here he goes again.

508
00:36:13,600 --> 00:36:17,799
Speaker 1: And so this guy is not he's not man. He's easy,

509
00:36:18,280 --> 00:36:20,480
Speaker 1: and he's tried to take away our healthcare, you know

510
00:36:20,719 --> 00:36:23,120
Speaker 1: from man. This dude is just dude. He don't even

511
00:36:23,200 --> 00:36:25,800
Speaker 1: know what Obamacare is. He just wants to end it

512
00:36:25,880 --> 00:36:29,680
Speaker 1: because Obama did it. How many times do you know

513
00:36:29,719 --> 00:36:32,800
Speaker 1: if this is the first president who's used the former

514
00:36:32,920 --> 00:36:38,200
Speaker 1: president as an example more times everything that Obama did thistion.

515
00:36:38,280 --> 00:36:42,120
Speaker 1: Obama said this, and Obama did this, and we're gonna

516
00:36:42,200 --> 00:36:46,359
Speaker 1: replace and repeal Obamacare because you don't know what Obamacare does,

517
00:36:47,560 --> 00:36:51,200
Speaker 1: or he doesn't understand people that have preconditions, you know,

518
00:36:52,000 --> 00:36:54,520
Speaker 1: great pre existing conditions. I mean, you know, if you

519
00:36:54,760 --> 00:36:59,800
Speaker 1: asked him to explain Obamacare, he couldn't do it. I

520
00:37:00,120 --> 00:37:03,080
Speaker 1: promise you he can. He ain't read upon it just

521
00:37:03,200 --> 00:37:05,799
Speaker 1: man ain't read nothing. I say, it doesn't read. Yeah,

522
00:37:06,200 --> 00:37:09,960
Speaker 1: he reached social media? Does it? And Twitter reached Twitter?

523
00:37:11,800 --> 00:37:13,320
Speaker 1: I don't make none of that. I just hope you

524
00:37:13,360 --> 00:37:15,640
Speaker 1: don't get four more years. And you know, I just

525
00:37:15,840 --> 00:37:18,440
Speaker 1: and I just hate the people that just not hate them,

526
00:37:18,600 --> 00:37:20,680
Speaker 1: but just hate the fact that they let it go.

527
00:37:20,960 --> 00:37:23,440
Speaker 1: Other Republicans let it go. No one calls him on

528
00:37:24,120 --> 00:37:28,080
Speaker 1: his mistakes or you know, his missteps. You know, yeah,

529
00:37:28,120 --> 00:37:30,960
Speaker 1: this could easily be fixed. It could be fixed. We'll

530
00:37:31,000 --> 00:37:32,960
Speaker 1: be back with more of the Steve Harvey Morning Show

531
00:37:33,640 --> 00:37:38,920
Speaker 1: at twenty after right after this. You're listening to show.

532
00:37:39,560 --> 00:37:43,080
Speaker 1: Today is King Holiday and we're celebrating. Do you guys

533
00:37:43,200 --> 00:37:46,600
Speaker 1: remember you guys remember when President Obama gave his farewell

534
00:37:46,680 --> 00:37:49,600
Speaker 1: speech to the nation. It was an emotional speech that

535
00:37:49,800 --> 00:37:52,680
Speaker 1: sought to comfort the country because a lot of Americans

536
00:37:52,760 --> 00:37:55,160
Speaker 1: were on edge with the election of Donald Trump. You guys,

537
00:37:55,200 --> 00:38:02,640
Speaker 1: remember that right, And here we are today, government shut down, racism, hatred. Boy,

538
00:38:02,920 --> 00:38:05,920
Speaker 1: do we miss the President Obama? Take a listen. Change

539
00:38:06,000 --> 00:38:09,920
Speaker 1: only happens when ordinary people get involved, and they get engaged,

540
00:38:10,760 --> 00:38:15,160
Speaker 1: and they come together to demand it. After eight years

541
00:38:15,280 --> 00:38:18,400
Speaker 1: as your president, I still believe that. And it's not

542
00:38:18,560 --> 00:38:24,240
Speaker 1: just my belief. It's the beating heart of our American idea,

543
00:38:25,040 --> 00:38:29,120
Speaker 1: our bold experiment in self government. It's the conviction that

544
00:38:29,760 --> 00:38:33,880
Speaker 1: we are all created evil, endowed by our creator with

545
00:38:34,080 --> 00:38:40,080
Speaker 1: certain unalienable rights, among them life, liberty, and the pursuit

546
00:38:40,120 --> 00:38:45,560
Speaker 1: of happens. It's the insistence that these rights, while self evident,

547
00:38:46,160 --> 00:38:51,279
Speaker 1: have never been self executing, that we the people, through

548
00:38:51,360 --> 00:38:56,279
Speaker 1: the instrument of our democracy, can form a more perfect union.

549
00:38:57,160 --> 00:39:02,400
Speaker 1: What a radical idea. The great gift that our founders

550
00:39:02,480 --> 00:39:06,880
Speaker 1: gave to us, the freedom to chase our individual dreams

551
00:39:06,960 --> 00:39:12,680
Speaker 1: through our sweat and toil and imagination, and the imperative

552
00:39:12,719 --> 00:39:16,160
Speaker 1: to strive together as well to achieve a common good,

553
00:39:16,600 --> 00:39:22,120
Speaker 1: a greater good. For two hundred and forty years, our

554
00:39:22,239 --> 00:39:26,960
Speaker 1: nation's call to citizenship has given work and purpose to

555
00:39:27,080 --> 00:39:31,040
Speaker 1: each new generation. That's what led patriots to choose Republic

556
00:39:31,120 --> 00:39:36,360
Speaker 1: over tyranny, Pioneers to trek West, slaves to brave, that

557
00:39:36,840 --> 00:39:41,319
Speaker 1: makeshift railroad to freedom. It's what pulled immigrants and refugees

558
00:39:41,360 --> 00:39:46,240
Speaker 1: across oceans than the Rio Grand. It's what pushed women

559
00:39:47,040 --> 00:39:52,200
Speaker 1: to reach for the ballot. It's what power workers to organize.

560
00:39:54,200 --> 00:39:59,440
Speaker 1: That's why Gis gave their lives, that Omaha Beach, Anywagima

561
00:40:00,200 --> 00:40:04,879
Speaker 1: a rock in Afghanistan, and why men and women from

562
00:40:04,960 --> 00:40:09,239
Speaker 1: Selma to Stonewall were prepared to give theirs as well.

563
00:40:14,000 --> 00:40:21,040
Speaker 1: So that's what we mean when we say America's exceptional,

564
00:40:21,719 --> 00:40:24,200
Speaker 1: not that our nation has been flawless from the start,

565
00:40:24,320 --> 00:40:27,840
Speaker 1: but that we have shown the capacity to change and

566
00:40:28,000 --> 00:40:31,800
Speaker 1: make life better for those who follow. Yes, our progress

567
00:40:31,880 --> 00:40:36,080
Speaker 1: has been uneven. The work of democracy has always been hard.

568
00:40:36,680 --> 00:40:41,200
Speaker 1: It's always been contentious. Sometimes it's been bloody. For every

569
00:40:41,239 --> 00:40:45,799
Speaker 1: two steps forward, it often feels we take one step back.

570
00:40:47,080 --> 00:40:51,160
Speaker 1: But the long sweep of America has been defined by

571
00:40:51,280 --> 00:40:56,080
Speaker 1: forward motion, a constant widening of our founding creed to

572
00:40:56,280 --> 00:41:07,320
Speaker 1: embrace all and not just some. We weaken those ties

573
00:41:07,400 --> 00:41:10,560
Speaker 1: when we define some of us as more American than others,

574
00:41:11,960 --> 00:41:16,520
Speaker 1: when we write off the whole system as inevitably corruptive,

575
00:41:19,080 --> 00:41:23,279
Speaker 1: and when we sit back and blame the leaders we

576
00:41:23,400 --> 00:41:29,680
Speaker 1: elect without examining our own role in electing them. When

577
00:41:29,719 --> 00:41:31,719
Speaker 1: we come back from the break at thirty two after,

578
00:41:32,040 --> 00:41:34,920
Speaker 1: we're going to talk about the racial divide in this country.

579
00:41:35,320 --> 00:41:39,200
Speaker 1: You're listening to Steve Harvey Morning Show. All right, Steve,

580
00:41:39,280 --> 00:41:42,719
Speaker 1: we've talked about racism a lot lately, White people calling

581
00:41:42,880 --> 00:41:45,520
Speaker 1: the cops on black people who are just going about

582
00:41:45,560 --> 00:41:48,040
Speaker 1: their everyday lives. Like remember when the young lady was

583
00:41:48,080 --> 00:41:51,919
Speaker 1: sleeping in the dorm area, when some people were having

584
00:41:51,960 --> 00:41:56,600
Speaker 1: a barbecue in the park, selling bottled water, leaving an Airbnb,

585
00:41:57,239 --> 00:42:00,959
Speaker 1: just sitting in Starbucks or eat at the waffle house.

586
00:42:01,120 --> 00:42:07,960
Speaker 1: What is going on in this country? Are you asking me? Yes,

587
00:42:08,640 --> 00:42:15,040
Speaker 1: I'm oh, it's it's it's it's leadership. People now think

588
00:42:15,280 --> 00:42:20,280
Speaker 1: it's a okay to voice any form because they're seeing

589
00:42:20,320 --> 00:42:23,399
Speaker 1: it done from the top and nothing's happening to him.

590
00:42:23,840 --> 00:42:26,680
Speaker 1: So hey, he's right, and this is how we feel,

591
00:42:26,920 --> 00:42:30,000
Speaker 1: and we can say it and it just gets carried

592
00:42:30,000 --> 00:42:34,719
Speaker 1: out different ways. The president don't have to say all that. Man,

593
00:42:34,880 --> 00:42:38,400
Speaker 1: did you see the video of this man punching this

594
00:42:38,640 --> 00:42:45,200
Speaker 1: black girl in the yea? Yeah, they were outside doing

595
00:42:45,360 --> 00:42:48,520
Speaker 1: something and there was just an argument ensued and this

596
00:42:48,719 --> 00:42:51,840
Speaker 1: black girl got up and then she big, big white

597
00:42:51,920 --> 00:42:55,719
Speaker 1: dude pushed her. She pushed her, and the girl ran

598
00:42:55,840 --> 00:42:58,839
Speaker 1: back at him, didn't touch him, just was pointing the hand,

599
00:42:59,080 --> 00:43:01,200
Speaker 1: got ready to point of her finger in her face.

600
00:43:01,920 --> 00:43:07,799
Speaker 1: He left cross this girl and knocked her out. Kidding me. Now,

601
00:43:07,840 --> 00:43:12,279
Speaker 1: he got arrested. Oh, he got arrested. But man, but

602
00:43:12,440 --> 00:43:15,319
Speaker 1: you know, it really ticks me. This woman. The black

603
00:43:15,440 --> 00:43:21,480
Speaker 1: dudes that be standing around watching myself, Pardner, hold up,

604
00:43:22,120 --> 00:43:24,319
Speaker 1: if you hit this little girl, you hit any girl,

605
00:43:24,440 --> 00:43:27,359
Speaker 1: black or white in the jaw, and you a man,

606
00:43:27,520 --> 00:43:30,040
Speaker 1: and I'm standing there, I'm in your ass, dog. I

00:43:30,160 --> 00:43:33,520
Speaker 1: promise you that. I promise you. I just am. Yeah,

608
00:43:34,280 --> 00:43:39,000
Speaker 1: I'm not letting it go sad state of affairs, sad

609
00:43:39,640 --> 00:43:44,759
Speaker 1: you know, racial profile, and that's where we're at. White

610
00:43:44,880 --> 00:43:50,880
Speaker 1: people calling the cops on people selling water and dudes. Bobby,

611
00:43:52,200 --> 00:43:55,759
Speaker 1: I mean, man, you can't do nothing. They they're wrong.

Speaker 1: it gave him an advantage, That's that's what the said.

623
00:44:46,120 --> 00:44:50,560
Speaker 1: It gave him an advantage and wrestling and wrestling, wrestling

624
00:44:50,680 --> 00:44:55,280
Speaker 1: your hair whatsoever? Man, No, there's no advantage to having

625
00:44:55,400 --> 00:45:00,279
Speaker 1: hair now unless y'all punching in the head and you

626
00:45:00,400 --> 00:45:04,680
Speaker 1: calling it a cushion. Yeah, you got nothing, man, I

627
00:45:04,840 --> 00:45:10,200
Speaker 1: just said, Man, that's crazy. These people, man, wow, are

628
00:45:10,280 --> 00:45:15,520
Speaker 1: living in the same building. Yeah. Oh yeah, the copy

629
00:45:15,920 --> 00:45:19,800
Speaker 1: the cop who shot the in Dallas. Yeah, remember that

630
00:45:21,200 --> 00:45:24,719
Speaker 1: killed him. Come on, man, you can't be at home,

631
00:45:24,920 --> 00:45:27,480
Speaker 1: can't be at home in your own self house nothing.

632
00:45:29,880 --> 00:45:38,080
Speaker 1: Yeah that man, this is making me man. Yeah girl. Yeah,

633
00:45:38,480 --> 00:45:41,000
Speaker 1: But like you said, Steven starts at the top. And

634
00:45:41,280 --> 00:45:44,480
Speaker 1: I really think that this president has created an atmosphere

635
00:45:44,520 --> 00:45:49,439
Speaker 1: that Scott has taken steps backwards. Uh, it's just brought

636
00:45:49,480 --> 00:45:51,799
Speaker 1: it out. It's always been there, you know what I mean.

637
00:45:52,440 --> 00:45:56,520
Speaker 1: But at least people try to mask it. Uh, He's

638
00:45:56,560 --> 00:45:58,560
Speaker 1: made it okay to say it out loud, and I

639
00:45:58,680 --> 00:46:01,640
Speaker 1: have to just be honest, I really do. It stems

640
00:46:01,719 --> 00:46:04,239
Speaker 1: from the top. It's just making people think that they

641
00:46:04,360 --> 00:46:07,439
Speaker 1: have the ability to say this. But like the little

642
00:46:07,480 --> 00:46:10,200
Speaker 1: brother had that T shirt on. My favorite T shirt says,

643
00:46:11,040 --> 00:46:15,960
Speaker 1: don't let your present dick get your ass will and

644
00:46:16,120 --> 00:46:19,399
Speaker 1: we mean that. Yeah, be real with your Pardner. Yeah,

645
00:46:22,000 --> 00:46:23,919
Speaker 1: all right, We'll be back with more of the Steve

649
00:46:35,000 --> 00:46:38,560
Speaker 1: doctor King's speech. I've been to the mountaintop, but right

650
00:46:39,080 --> 00:46:42,480
Speaker 1: right now, life's most persistent and urgent question is what

651
00:46:42,600 --> 00:46:45,160
Speaker 1: are you doing for others? These are the words of

652
00:46:45,280 --> 00:46:48,719
Speaker 1: Martin Luther King, Junior, as we celebrate his life his

653
00:46:48,960 --> 00:46:52,440
Speaker 1: legacy on Martin Luther King Junior Day. Steve, Now, your

654
00:46:52,880 --> 00:46:55,719
Speaker 1: your foundation is very important to you, to you and

655
00:46:55,800 --> 00:46:59,320
Speaker 1: your wife, fostering children through excellence. And why is mentoring

656
00:46:59,440 --> 00:47:02,759
Speaker 1: so important to you? Steve? Well, you know it really

657
00:47:02,880 --> 00:47:05,160
Speaker 1: hit me hard when my dad died. You know, when

658
00:47:05,239 --> 00:47:07,800
Speaker 1: my father died. I was at the funeral. I was

659
00:47:07,960 --> 00:47:10,759
Speaker 1: looking at his body and I was just saying, Man,

660
00:47:11,320 --> 00:47:13,600
Speaker 1: if it wasn't for that dude right there, Man, there's

661
00:47:13,680 --> 00:47:17,560
Speaker 1: no way I'd be here today without he shaped me.

662
00:47:18,800 --> 00:47:21,239
Speaker 1: And so on the plane ride home, I said, man,

663
00:47:21,360 --> 00:47:26,000
Speaker 1: what do dudes do? They ain't got no fun. How

664
00:47:26,080 --> 00:47:29,240
Speaker 1: did they get through this? Man? This this is crazy?

665
00:47:30,280 --> 00:47:32,319
Speaker 1: How did they get through this? And I couldn't figure

666
00:47:32,320 --> 00:47:34,600
Speaker 1: it out. I said, this gotta be And how these

667
00:47:34,640 --> 00:47:39,040
Speaker 1: women raising these boys without know daddy's I said, man,

668
00:47:39,200 --> 00:47:42,080
Speaker 1: that's a huge problem. It's a lack of male role

669
00:47:42,160 --> 00:47:45,319
Speaker 1: models in the world today. And that's how this Steve

670
00:47:45,440 --> 00:47:48,080
Speaker 1: Harvey Foundation got started. I said, man, I got the

671
00:47:48,160 --> 00:47:51,680
Speaker 1: mental men. And I gotta give Rashan McDonald a piece

672
00:47:51,719 --> 00:47:53,319
Speaker 1: of credit because he was sitting there. He said, man,

673
00:47:53,400 --> 00:47:56,879
Speaker 1: you got that ranch, man, why don't you do something

674
00:47:56,920 --> 00:47:59,759
Speaker 1: with it? And I had bought that wrench, thinking the

675
00:48:00,040 --> 00:48:02,839
Speaker 1: whole time, since I was homeless, that I was going

676
00:48:02,880 --> 00:48:05,680
Speaker 1: to accumulate all this land, so no matter what happened

677
00:48:05,840 --> 00:48:08,799
Speaker 1: in my life, I'd always have a piece of land

678
00:48:08,880 --> 00:48:11,520
Speaker 1: I could go to a live on you know. In

679
00:48:11,680 --> 00:48:14,880
Speaker 1: spite of that was my whole purpose. Little did I know,

680
00:48:15,520 --> 00:48:17,719
Speaker 1: God really wanted me to buy that man, buy that

681
00:48:17,920 --> 00:48:20,680
Speaker 1: land to change young boys lives. And so that's what

682
00:48:20,800 --> 00:48:24,800
Speaker 1: I did. And that was the birth of it. Well,

683

Speaker 1: So just go to any of my social media sites

792

793
00:54:39,200 --> 00:54:42,560
Speaker 1: doing community service helping others? Please don't just make this

794
00:54:42,680 --> 00:54:45,120
Speaker 1: a day off, make it a day on. Okay, you're

795
00:54:45,160 --> 00:54:50,799
Speaker 1: listening to show. Doctor Martin Luther King Junior once said

796
00:54:51,239 --> 00:54:54,920
Speaker 1: that life's most persistent and urgent question is what are

797
00:54:55,000 --> 00:54:59,480
Speaker 1: you doing for others? Come together, everybody and serve your communities.

798
00:55:00,040 --> 00:55:02,520
Speaker 1: Coming up, we got some excerpts from doctor Kings. I've

799
00:55:02,560 --> 00:55:06,480
Speaker 1: been to the mountaintop speech. Let us rise up tonight

800
00:55:07,880 --> 00:55:16,600
Speaker 1: with a greater readiness in these powerful days, these days

801
00:55:16,680 --> 00:55:21,120
Speaker 1: of challenge to make America what it ought to be.

802
00:55:22,800 --> 00:55:26,520
Speaker 1: We have an opportunity to make America a better nation

803
00:55:27,960 --> 00:55:32,600
Speaker 1: and I want to thank God once more for allowing

804
00:55:32,719 --> 00:55:36,239
Speaker 1: me to be here with you. You know, several years

805
00:55:36,280 --> 00:55:40,360
Speaker 1: ago I was in New York City autographing the first

806
00:55:40,440 --> 00:55:45,080
Speaker 1: book that I had written. And while sitting the autographing books,

807
00:55:46,640 --> 00:55:51,000
Speaker 1: the minute black woman came up. The only question I

808
00:55:51,160 --> 00:55:55,400
Speaker 1: heard from all was you marderin Luther King. And I

809
00:55:55,560 --> 00:55:59,120
Speaker 1: was looking down writing and I said yes. The next

810
00:55:59,200 --> 00:56:03,040
Speaker 1: minute I felt something beating on my chest. Before I

811
00:56:03,160 --> 00:56:06,160
Speaker 1: knew it, I had been stabbed by this deminted woman.

812
00:56:06,920 --> 00:56:10,239
Speaker 1: I was rushed to Hullum Hospital. It was a dog

813
00:56:10,440 --> 00:56:16,080
Speaker 1: Saturday afternoon. That blade had gone through and the X

814
00:56:16,239 --> 00:56:20,040
Speaker 1: rays revealed that the tip of the blade was on

815
00:56:20,160 --> 00:56:23,840
Speaker 1: the edge of my air order, the main uttering and

816
00:56:24,040 --> 00:56:27,719
Speaker 1: once uchs puncture, you drowned in your own blood. That's

817
00:56:27,760 --> 00:56:30,920
Speaker 1: the end of you. Yes, it came out in the

818
00:56:31,040 --> 00:56:33,719
Speaker 1: New York Times the next morning that if I had

819
00:56:33,840 --> 00:56:38,960
Speaker 1: merely sneezed, I would have died. Well. About four days later,

820
00:56:39,080 --> 00:56:43,279
Speaker 1: they allowed me after the operation, after my chest had

821
00:56:43,320 --> 00:56:46,400
Speaker 1: been opened and the blade had been taken out, to

822
00:56:46,560 --> 00:56:50,120
Speaker 1: move around in the wheelchair and the hospital they allowed

823
00:56:50,160 --> 00:56:51,920
Speaker 1: me to read some of the mail that came in

824
00:56:52,040 --> 00:56:55,560
Speaker 1: and from all over the States and the world. Kind

825
00:56:55,760 --> 00:57:00,440
Speaker 1: letters came in. I read a few, but one of

826
00:57:00,560 --> 00:57:04,200
Speaker 1: them I will never forget. I had received one from

827
00:57:04,239 --> 00:57:07,720
Speaker 1: the President and the Vice President. I've forgotten what those

828
00:57:07,920 --> 00:57:11,439
Speaker 1: telegrams said. I'd received a visit and a letter from

829
00:57:11,560 --> 00:57:13,960
Speaker 1: the Governor of New York, but I've forgotten what that

830
00:57:14,920 --> 00:57:19,680
Speaker 1: letter say it. But that was another letter. It came

831
00:57:19,880 --> 00:57:24,000
Speaker 1: from a little girl, a young girl who was a

832
00:57:24,080 --> 00:57:27,520
Speaker 1: student at the White Plains High School. And I looked

833
00:57:27,520 --> 00:57:30,680
Speaker 1: at that letter. I'll never forget. It said, simply, dear

834
00:57:30,800 --> 00:57:36,320
Speaker 1: Doctor King, I am a ninth grade student at the

835
00:57:36,400 --> 00:57:40,840
Speaker 1: White Plains High School. She said. While it should not matter,

836
00:57:40,840 --> 00:57:43,600
Speaker 1: I would like to mention that I'm a white girl.

837
00:57:44,560 --> 00:57:50,160
Speaker 1: I read in the paper of your misfortune and of

838
00:57:50,240 --> 00:57:53,920
Speaker 1: your suffering, and I read that if you had sneezed,

839
00:57:54,000 --> 00:57:57,600
Speaker 1: you would have died. I'm simply writing you to say

840
00:57:57,720 --> 00:58:02,000
Speaker 1: that I'm so happy that you didn't sneeze, and i'd

841
00:58:02,040 --> 00:58:10,160
Speaker 1: want to say to night. I want to say tonight

842
00:58:10,240 --> 00:58:13,200
Speaker 1: that I too, am happy that I didn't sneeze, because

843
00:58:13,240 --> 00:58:16,280
Speaker 1: if I had sneeze, I wouldn't have been around here.

844
00:58:16,360 --> 00:58:21,720
Speaker 1: In nineteen sixty, when students all over the South started

845
00:58:21,760 --> 00:58:24,680
Speaker 1: sitting in at lunchtowns, and I knew that as they

846
00:58:24,880 --> 00:58:28,240
Speaker 1: was sitting in, they were really standing up for the

847
00:58:28,360 --> 00:58:31,560
Speaker 1: best in the American dream and taken the whole nation

848
00:58:31,680 --> 00:58:34,760
Speaker 1: back to those great weals of democracy which were dug

849
00:58:34,920 --> 00:58:38,720
Speaker 1: deep by the founding fathers in the Declaration of Independence

850
00:58:38,800 --> 00:58:42,800
Speaker 1: and the Constitution. If I had sneezed, I wouldn't have

851
00:58:42,800 --> 00:58:46,120
Speaker 1: been around hid in nineteen six to one when we

852
00:58:46,280 --> 00:58:49,840
Speaker 1: decided to take a ride for freedom and end its

853
00:58:49,920 --> 00:58:54,200
Speaker 1: segregation in it to state travel. If I had sneezed,

854
00:58:55,440 --> 00:58:59,360
Speaker 1: I wouldn't have been around here in nineteen sixty two

855
00:59:00,160 --> 00:59:03,600
Speaker 1: when Negroes and all been at Georgia decided to straighten

856
00:59:03,680 --> 00:59:06,520
Speaker 1: that box up. And when all the men and women

857
00:59:06,600 --> 00:59:10,120
Speaker 1: straighten that box up, they're going somewhere because a man

858
00:59:10,640 --> 00:59:14,400
Speaker 1: had roger back unless it is bent. If I had sneeze,

859
00:59:20,720 --> 00:59:23,960
Speaker 1: I had sneezed, I wouldn't have been here. In nineteen

860
00:59:24,400 --> 00:59:32,560
Speaker 1: six to three, the black people of Birmingham, Alabama aroused

861
00:59:32,640 --> 00:59:36,320
Speaker 1: the conscience of this nation and brought into being the

862
00:59:36,480 --> 00:59:40,080
Speaker 1: Civil Rights Bill. If I had sneeze, I wouldn't have

863
00:59:40,160 --> 00:59:43,120
Speaker 1: had a chance. Later that year, in August to try

864
00:59:43,240 --> 00:59:46,520
Speaker 1: to tell America about a dream that I had had.

865
00:59:46,920 --> 00:59:54,760
Speaker 1: If I had sneeze, I wouldn't have been down in Selma,

866
00:59:55,040 --> 00:59:59,960
Speaker 1: Alabama to see the Gretain movement there. If I had sneeze,

867
01:00:01,080 --> 01:00:05,280
Speaker 1: I wouldn't have been in Memphis to see our community

868
01:00:05,440 --> 01:00:11,360
Speaker 1: rally around those brothers and sisters who are suffering. I'm

869
01:00:11,440 --> 01:00:14,680
Speaker 1: so happy that I didn't sleeve. And they were telling

870
01:00:14,760 --> 01:00:22,880
Speaker 1: me now it doesn't matter now, it really doesn't matter

871
01:00:23,000 --> 01:00:26,560
Speaker 1: what happens now. I left Atlanta this morning and as

872
01:00:26,600 --> 01:00:30,000
Speaker 1: we got started on the plane that was six of us,

873
01:00:32,040 --> 01:00:38,000
Speaker 1: the pilot said over the public address system, we are

874
01:00:38,120 --> 01:00:41,840
Speaker 1: sorry for the delay, but we have doctor Mark Luther

875
01:00:42,040 --> 01:00:46,320
Speaker 1: King on the plane and to be sure that all

876
01:00:46,400 --> 01:00:49,320
Speaker 1: of the bags were checked and to be sure that

877
01:00:50,840 --> 01:00:54,040
Speaker 1: nothing would be wrong on the plane. We had to

878
01:00:54,200 --> 01:00:59,880
Speaker 1: check out everything carefully and we've had the plane protected

879
01:01:00,000 --> 01:01:03,120
Speaker 1: and god it all night. And then I got into

880
01:01:03,200 --> 01:01:09,000
Speaker 1: Memphis and some began to say the threats I talk

881
01:01:09,040 --> 01:01:13,760
Speaker 1: about the threats that were out, What would happen to

882
01:01:13,880 --> 01:01:19,720
Speaker 1: me from some of our sick white brothers. Well, I

883
01:01:19,800 --> 01:01:23,120
Speaker 1: don't know what will happen now. We've got some difficult

884
01:01:23,240 --> 01:01:26,440
Speaker 1: days ahead, but it really doesn't matter. With me now

885
01:01:27,240 --> 01:01:32,000
Speaker 1: because I've been to the mountain talk. I don't mind.

886
01:01:36,320 --> 01:01:40,960
Speaker 1: Like anybody, I would like to live a long life.

887
01:01:41,080 --> 01:01:47,320
Speaker 1: Longevity has its place, but I'm not concerned about that, naw.

888
01:01:49,080 --> 01:01:53,960
Speaker 1: I just want to do God's will, and He's allowed

889
01:01:54,120 --> 01:01:57,400
Speaker 1: me to go up to the mountain, and I've looked

890
01:01:57,440 --> 01:02:04,880
Speaker 1: over and I've seen the Promised Land. I may not

891
01:02:05,080 --> 01:02:07,960
Speaker 1: get that with you, when I want you to know

892
01:02:08,160 --> 01:02:12,640
Speaker 1: tonight that we as a people, we'll get to the

893
01:02:12,760 --> 01:02:23,080
Speaker 1: Promised Land. So I'm happy tonight. I'm not wearing about anything.

894
01:02:23,240 --> 01:02:27,120
Speaker 1: I'm not feeling in a man mine eyes have seen

895
01:02:27,240 --> 01:02:41,160
Speaker 1: the glory all the coming of the Lord. You're listening

896
01:02:41,400 --> 01:02:46,120
Speaker 1: to show, all right, I'm this King holiday guys. According

897
01:02:46,160 --> 01:02:50,200
Speaker 1: to the Chicago Tribune, the Republicans have a racism problem,

898
01:02:50,640 --> 01:02:54,320
Speaker 1: and it's not just Republican Steve Steve King of Iowa.

899
01:02:55,280 --> 01:02:57,640
Speaker 1: If you recall, in an interview with The New York Times,

900
01:02:57,720 --> 01:03:03,600
Speaker 1: Republican Steam King reportedly wondered out loud, white nationalists, white supremacists,

901
01:03:03,840 --> 01:03:08,840
Speaker 1: western civilization. How did that language become offensive? It was

902
01:03:08,920 --> 01:03:13,200
Speaker 1: just the latest in a long history of his racist comments.

903
01:03:14,440 --> 01:03:18,919
Speaker 1: Every day, every day is something I know I'm tired

904
01:03:18,960 --> 01:03:27,240
Speaker 1: of talking to these stupid ass people. I'm sick of it, man,

905
01:03:27,280 --> 01:03:31,160
Speaker 1: I'm sick of hearing the ignorance that comes out of

906
01:03:31,200 --> 01:03:36,000
Speaker 1: these people's mouths. That's in all these elected positions. If

907
01:03:36,080 --> 01:03:40,000
Speaker 1: you're that damn stupid and you're in an electric position,

908
01:03:40,400 --> 01:03:43,520
Speaker 1: then it should cost you your job. Yeah, because you

909
01:03:43,640 --> 01:03:45,640
Speaker 1: can't sit up in front of people and expects that

910
01:03:45,800 --> 01:03:47,840
Speaker 1: to have to look at you every damn week. And

911
01:03:47,920 --> 01:03:50,640
Speaker 1: you're sitting up here wondering why it's white suprema in

912
01:03:50,720 --> 01:03:53,480
Speaker 1: white national When did that become bad language? When they

913
01:03:53,600 --> 01:03:57,600
Speaker 1: start doing bad stuff. Man, they've been wrong since they

914
01:03:57,760 --> 01:04:00,680
Speaker 1: got here. This ain't news, but it ain't nothing wrong

915
01:04:00,840 --> 01:04:04,160
Speaker 1: happening to you because you think you supreme, right, you

916
01:04:04,400 --> 01:04:07,160
Speaker 1: think you're superior, so you don't have a problem with it.

917
01:04:07,400 --> 01:04:09,280
Speaker 1: But you don't never have a problem to this is

918
01:04:09,280 --> 01:04:11,919
Speaker 1: happening to you. Getting back to Steve King for a moment,

919
01:04:11,960 --> 01:04:14,280
Speaker 1: didn't he say these things never come up in his mind.

920
01:04:14,360 --> 01:04:18,760
Speaker 1: He doesn't know how they came out of his mouth. Yeah?

921
01:04:22,280 --> 01:04:25,400
Speaker 1: How you blurt that out? Yeah, sir, do you know

922
01:04:25,760 --> 01:04:31,240
Speaker 1: how many times I've said that? Yeah? Yeah, we do

923
01:04:31,960 --> 01:04:39,000
Speaker 1: get your ass out. Yeah. See, somebody say right right there, Steve,

924
01:04:39,560 --> 01:04:42,600
Speaker 1: did you just say get your ass out? And then

925
01:04:42,680 --> 01:04:45,560
Speaker 1: I go what he came in my mind? Yeah, I

926
01:04:45,640 --> 01:04:48,720
Speaker 1: don't know what a hell? Yeah? Yeah, you don't know

927
01:04:48,920 --> 01:04:57,120
Speaker 1: why I was saying yeah me uh. The article also

928
01:04:57,240 --> 01:05:01,680
Speaker 1: stated that it's the GOP that it's passing racist statewide

929
01:05:01,760 --> 01:05:05,160
Speaker 1: voter identification laws in an attempt to keep African Americans

930
01:05:05,320 --> 01:05:09,000
Speaker 1: away from the polls. The GOP voted to give billions

931
01:05:09,040 --> 01:05:12,120
Speaker 1: of dollars in tax breaks to the wealthy while proposing

932
01:05:12,280 --> 01:05:16,840
Speaker 1: drastic cuts to Medicare, Medicaid, Social Security. It's the GOP

933
01:05:17,320 --> 01:05:20,760
Speaker 1: that has attempted to take sole credit for reducing the

934
01:05:20,880 --> 01:05:25,920
Speaker 1: unemployment rate for African Americans, when African Americans full no,

935
01:05:26,360 --> 01:05:30,640
Speaker 1: they know full well that the downward trend began under

936
01:05:30,840 --> 01:05:35,560
Speaker 1: President Barak who's saying Obama, thank you, Yes, Now, let's

937
01:05:35,560 --> 01:05:38,320
Speaker 1: stop all this foolishness. Now, don't think we don't know

938
01:05:39,080 --> 01:05:42,280
Speaker 1: the truth. If you're gonna tell it, Well, that's the

939
01:05:42,400 --> 01:05:45,200
Speaker 1: thing about the GOP and the Republicans, what kind of

940
01:05:45,320 --> 01:05:47,680
Speaker 1: party are you now? Because I when you have someone

941
01:05:47,800 --> 01:05:51,400
Speaker 1: like Steve King say these things, then it's like and

942
01:05:51,520 --> 01:05:54,760
Speaker 1: then you have the president you're trying to say you

943
01:05:54,840 --> 01:05:56,760
Speaker 1: don't stand for this, but you stand for that. But

944
01:05:56,840 --> 01:05:58,680
Speaker 1: you have people in your party and they say all

945
01:05:58,720 --> 01:06:04,000
Speaker 1: these type of things. Party of Trump doesn't stand for anything.

946
01:06:04,720 --> 01:06:08,680
Speaker 1: That's what I mean. They stand for whatever keeps them

947
01:06:08,960 --> 01:06:14,520
Speaker 1: in power, in position, and in money. That's what they

948
01:06:14,640 --> 01:06:16,920
Speaker 1: stand for. And they prove it over and over again.

949
01:06:17,080 --> 01:06:19,920
Speaker 1: But I got news for you. They've always been that one.

950
01:06:20,320 --> 01:06:23,200
Speaker 1: But you know what, there's always been something because all

951
01:06:23,280 --> 01:06:25,880
Speaker 1: Republicans ain't bad people. I know. I want you to

952
01:06:25,960 --> 01:06:30,480
Speaker 1: understand that John McCain man and actually stood up and

953
01:06:30,600 --> 01:06:33,200
Speaker 1: said stuff. That dude out in Arizona, that other one,

954
01:06:33,280 --> 01:06:37,080
Speaker 1: that younger, younger guy, he's pretty smart. He says some stuff.

955
01:06:37,560 --> 01:06:40,760
Speaker 1: There's some people out there man that we'll just go okay,

956
01:06:40,800 --> 01:06:43,800
Speaker 1: wait a minute, mane, what what did you say? And

957
01:06:43,960 --> 01:06:48,160
Speaker 1: we'll do the right thing. But the way it's going now,

958
01:06:48,280 --> 01:06:52,000
Speaker 1: man's ugly. And we need we need for Republicans and

959
01:06:52,080 --> 01:06:54,960
Speaker 1: Democrats to be able to work together. That's what's missing

960
01:06:55,040 --> 01:07:00,200
Speaker 1: as well. Surely we can stop that ideal. Well, I

961
01:07:00,240 --> 01:07:04,720
Speaker 1: mean they're not sense Barack. Yeah, well it happened in

962
01:07:04,760 --> 01:07:09,440
Speaker 1: the past. It happened. I mean was going across you

963
01:07:09,560 --> 01:07:13,040
Speaker 1: know the room. They stopped that with Obama. Yeah, they did.

964
01:07:13,160 --> 01:07:15,800
Speaker 1: I know they did. They wouldn't let him reach across

965
01:07:15,840 --> 01:07:19,080
Speaker 1: the aisle accomplish a damn thing. They were so angry

966
01:07:19,440 --> 01:07:23,400
Speaker 1: with his win. Yeah, and they were angry on a

967
01:07:23,840 --> 01:07:28,480
Speaker 1: racial level. Yeah, and that is the truth, period. Stop

968
01:07:28,600 --> 01:07:32,880
Speaker 1: saying it ain't so, because that's exactly what happened, upset

969
01:07:33,360 --> 01:07:37,520
Speaker 1: on a racial level, wasn't it. Mitch McConnell who said

970
01:07:37,560 --> 01:07:40,880
Speaker 1: he meant, let's make him a one term president or something, Yes, yeah,

971
01:07:40,920 --> 01:07:45,200
Speaker 1: oh yeah, yes, yeah, and you didn't and you couldn't. Well,

972
01:07:45,240 --> 01:07:47,480
Speaker 1: I'll tell you what. You know, we need to stay

973
01:07:47,720 --> 01:07:51,720
Speaker 1: aware and a stude and everything and registered and ready

974
01:07:51,920 --> 01:07:54,840
Speaker 1: because if we don't, Donald Trump will get another term

975
01:07:54,960 --> 01:07:57,000
Speaker 1: in the White House. Okay, don't think that's not the

976
01:07:57,120 --> 01:08:00,640
Speaker 1: plan for him to be a two term president. It

977
01:08:00,880 --> 01:08:03,600
Speaker 1: is very well the plane, but he's got some legal

978
01:08:03,720 --> 01:08:06,800
Speaker 1: things that's coming up. He's trying to distract with this wall.

979
01:08:08,200 --> 01:08:12,080
Speaker 1: You mean the Muller investigation. Yeah, it's too many people

980
01:08:12,120 --> 01:08:16,000
Speaker 1: around him going to jail. Flynn could go, Monifer could go,

981
01:08:17,160 --> 01:08:20,320
Speaker 1: Cohen can go. These are people that are real close

982
01:08:20,400 --> 01:08:25,200
Speaker 1: to him, his lawyer, his campaign manager, and Flynn. I'm

983
01:08:25,600 --> 01:08:28,640
Speaker 1: come home man, and when can you ever remember an

984
01:08:28,640 --> 01:08:33,519
Speaker 1: American president saying I do not work for Russia. I know. Wait,

985
01:08:33,600 --> 01:08:36,840
Speaker 1: let me ask you ask you that question. How many

986
01:08:37,000 --> 01:08:42,080
Speaker 1: times in your lifetime have you come home and the

987
01:08:42,320 --> 01:08:48,000
Speaker 1: president was in the news every single day about something?

988
01:08:49,120 --> 01:08:55,280
Speaker 1: Every single day the president is in something, but a

989
01:08:55,439 --> 01:08:58,920
Speaker 1: lot of times because of a remark he's made. Yeah,

990
01:09:00,439 --> 01:09:06,439
Speaker 1: tweet or a tweet man like you said, stay stay woke. Yeah,

991
01:09:08,479 --> 01:09:12,280
Speaker 1: when you tweet something dumb, but your explanation of the

992
01:09:12,439 --> 01:09:18,120
Speaker 1: tweet is dumberumber. Look, man, you ain't giving us nut

993
01:09:18,200 --> 01:09:22,760
Speaker 1: to work with you. Your fix the tweet is worse. Yeah,

994
01:09:22,920 --> 01:09:26,120
Speaker 1: I never said that. I never said that. We're celebrating

995
01:09:26,200 --> 01:09:28,599
Speaker 1: the life and the la to be ashamed of yourself

996
01:09:28,680 --> 01:09:33,360
Speaker 1: for asking me that. Well, I'm not of doctor on

997
01:09:33,560 --> 01:09:36,519
Speaker 1: this King holiday, And we'll be right back. You're listening.

998
01:09:40,760 --> 01:09:43,479
Speaker 1: Coming up, We're gonna play some excerpts from doctor King's

999
01:09:44,000 --> 01:09:49,960
Speaker 1: I Have a Dream speech. I am happy to john

1000
01:09:50,200 --> 01:09:55,320
Speaker 1: with you today. And what will go down in history

1001
01:09:56,640 --> 01:10:01,719
Speaker 1: as the greatest demonstration for freedom the history of our nation.

1002
01:10:07,840 --> 01:10:13,920
Speaker 1: Five score years ago, a great American in whose symbolic

1003
01:10:14,600 --> 01:10:22,600
Speaker 1: shadow we stand today, signed the Emancipation Proclamation. This momentous

1004
01:10:22,680 --> 01:10:26,840
Speaker 1: decree came as a great beacon light of hope to

1005
01:10:27,000 --> 01:10:31,400
Speaker 1: millions of Negro slaves who had been seared in the

1006
01:10:31,600 --> 01:10:36,960
Speaker 1: flames of withering injustice. It came as a joyous day

1007
01:10:37,040 --> 01:10:42,600
Speaker 1: break to end the long night of their captivity. But

1008
01:10:42,840 --> 01:10:49,080
Speaker 1: one hundred years later, the Negro steal is not free.

1009
01:10:50,600 --> 01:10:53,880
Speaker 1: One hundred years later, the life of the Negro is

1010
01:10:53,960 --> 01:10:59,479
Speaker 1: still sadly crippled by the manacles of segregation and the

1011
01:10:59,680 --> 01:11:05,360
Speaker 1: changeans of discrimination. One hundred years later, the negro lives

1012
01:11:05,439 --> 01:11:09,000
Speaker 1: on a lonely island of property in the midst of

1013
01:11:09,120 --> 01:11:13,840
Speaker 1: a vast ocean of material prosperity. One hundred years later,

1014
01:11:18,640 --> 01:11:22,560
Speaker 1: the negro is still languished in the corners of American

1015
01:11:22,760 --> 01:11:27,840
Speaker 1: society and finds himself in exile in his own land.

1016
01:11:29,320 --> 01:11:35,040
Speaker 1: So we've come here today to dramatize a shameful condition.

1017
01:11:36,600 --> 01:11:39,560
Speaker 1: In a sense, we've come to our nation's capital to

1018
01:11:39,840 --> 01:11:47,040
Speaker 1: cash a check. When the architects of our Republic wrote

1019
01:11:47,120 --> 01:11:51,840
Speaker 1: the magnificent words of the Constitution and the Declaration of Independence,

1020
01:11:53,479 --> 01:11:58,000
Speaker 1: they were signing a promise or in note, to whichever

1021
01:11:58,080 --> 01:12:02,760
Speaker 1: the American was to fall air. This note was a

1022
01:12:02,880 --> 01:12:07,920
Speaker 1: promise at all men, yes, black men, as well as

1023
01:12:07,960 --> 01:12:14,040
Speaker 1: white men, would be guaranteed the unalienable rights of life, liberty,

1024
01:12:15,120 --> 01:12:21,280
Speaker 1: and the pursuit of happiness. It is obvious today that

1025
01:12:21,439 --> 01:12:25,800
Speaker 1: America has defaulted on this promisory note in so far

1026
01:12:26,080 --> 01:12:31,960
Speaker 1: as her citizens of color are concerned. Instead of honoring

1027
01:12:32,360 --> 01:12:38,040
Speaker 1: this sacred obligation, America has given the Negro people a

1028
01:12:38,200 --> 01:12:42,480
Speaker 1: bad check, a check which has come back mark insufficient

1029
01:12:42,560 --> 01:12:58,000
Speaker 1: fund But we refuse to believe that the bank of

1030
01:12:58,160 --> 01:13:05,160
Speaker 1: justice is bankrupt. He refused to believe that that are

1031
01:13:05,200 --> 01:13:09,280
Speaker 1: insufficient funds in the great vaults of opportunity of this nation.

1032
01:13:09,960 --> 01:13:13,040
Speaker 1: So we've come to cash this check, a check that

1033
01:13:13,200 --> 01:13:16,400
Speaker 1: will give us a pun demand the riches of freedom

1034
01:13:16,840 --> 01:13:30,200
Speaker 1: and the security of justice. We have also come to

1035
01:13:30,320 --> 01:13:34,360
Speaker 1: this hell of spot to remind a miracle of the

1036
01:13:34,560 --> 01:13:41,160
Speaker 1: fierce urgency of now. This is no time to engage

1037
01:13:41,280 --> 01:13:44,120
Speaker 1: in the luxury of cooling off, or to take the

1038
01:13:44,280 --> 01:13:55,639
Speaker 1: tranquilizing joug of gradualism. Now is the time to make

1039
01:13:55,760 --> 01:14:02,280
Speaker 1: real the promises of democracy. Now is the time arise

1040
01:14:02,520 --> 01:14:06,120
Speaker 1: from the dark and desolate valley of segregation to the

1041
01:14:06,240 --> 01:14:16,040
Speaker 1: sunlit path of racial justice. Now is the time quick

1042
01:14:16,160 --> 01:14:20,120
Speaker 1: sends of racial injustice to the solid rock of brotherhood.

1043
01:14:20,280 --> 01:14:26,880
Speaker 1: Now is the time they've got the reality For all

1044
01:14:26,960 --> 01:14:30,639
Speaker 1: of God's tu It would be fatal for the nation

1045
01:14:31,720 --> 01:14:37,439
Speaker 1: to overlook the urgency of the moment. This sweltering summer

1046
01:14:37,479 --> 01:14:43,360
Speaker 1: of the Negroes. Legitimate discontent will not pass until that

1047
01:14:43,720 --> 01:14:48,880
Speaker 1: is an invigorating autumn of freedom and equality. Nineteen sixty

1048
01:14:49,040 --> 01:14:53,040
Speaker 1: three is not an end, but a beginning. Those who

1049
01:14:53,120 --> 01:14:57,400
Speaker 1: hope that the Negro needed to blow off steam and

1050
01:14:57,600 --> 01:15:01,800
Speaker 1: will now be content will have a rude awakening. If

1051
01:15:01,840 --> 01:15:19,600
Speaker 1: the nation returns to business as usual, that will be

1052
01:15:19,840 --> 01:15:25,000
Speaker 1: neither rest nor tranquility in America until the Negro has

1053
01:15:25,120 --> 01:15:30,200
Speaker 1: granted his citizenship rights. The whirlwinds a revolt will continue

1054
01:15:30,280 --> 01:15:33,920
Speaker 1: to shake the foundations of our nation until the bright

1055
01:15:34,080 --> 01:15:38,120
Speaker 1: day of justice emerges. But that is something that I

1056
01:15:38,280 --> 01:15:41,559
Speaker 1: must say to my people who stand on the warm

1057
01:15:41,840 --> 01:15:46,120
Speaker 1: threshold which leads into the palace of justice. In the

1058
01:15:46,320 --> 01:15:50,200
Speaker 1: process of gaining our rightful place, we must not be

1059
01:15:50,920 --> 01:15:54,519
Speaker 1: guilty of wrong for deeds. Let us not seek to

1060
01:15:54,640 --> 01:15:59,000
Speaker 1: satisfy our first for freedom by drinking from the cup

1061
01:15:59,080 --> 01:16:11,799
Speaker 1: of bitterness and treat We must forever conduct our struggle

1062
01:16:11,880 --> 01:16:15,679
Speaker 1: on the high plane of dignity and discipline. We must

1063
01:16:15,720 --> 01:16:21,320
Speaker 1: not allow our creative protests to degenerate into physical violence.

1064
01:16:22,000 --> 01:16:26,639
Speaker 1: Again and again. We must rise to the majestic heights

1065
01:16:27,720 --> 01:16:32,559
Speaker 1: of meeting physical force with soul force. The marvelous new

1066
01:16:32,640 --> 01:16:38,160
Speaker 1: militant said which has engulfed the Negro community, must not

1067
01:16:38,360 --> 01:16:41,560
Speaker 1: lead us to a distrust of all white people. For

1068
01:16:41,720 --> 01:16:44,879
Speaker 1: many of our white brothers, as evidenced by the presence

1069
01:16:44,960 --> 01:16:48,280
Speaker 1: here today, have come to realize that that destiny is

1070
01:16:48,400 --> 01:17:02,160
Speaker 1: part of a artist Steve Harvey Nation. On this King Holiday,

1071
01:17:02,200 --> 01:17:04,439
Speaker 1: I want to see y'all giving back to day. Okay,

1072
01:17:04,760 --> 01:17:06,639
Speaker 1: in the words of doctor King, what are you doing

1073
01:17:06,720 --> 01:17:09,200
Speaker 1: for others? So just go to any of my social

1074
01:17:09,280 --> 01:17:13,280
Speaker 1: media sites for Facebook, page, Instagram, or tweet me pictures.

1075
01:17:13,320 --> 01:17:16,400
Speaker 1: Are you doing community service helping others? Please don't just

1076
01:17:16,600 --> 01:17:18,840
Speaker 1: make this a day off, make it a day on. Okay,

1077
01:17:19,280 --> 01:17:21,720
Speaker 1: when we come back, we got more, Doctor Kings. I

1078
01:17:21,840 --> 01:17:29,000
Speaker 1: have a dream speech. You're listening show right now. Ask

1079
01:17:29,080 --> 01:17:31,240
Speaker 1: promise we're gonna play some of Doctor Kings. I have

1080
01:17:31,320 --> 01:17:33,600
Speaker 1: a dream speech which he delivered on the steps of

1081
01:17:33,680 --> 01:17:38,240
Speaker 1: the Lincoln Memorial back in nineteen sixty three, to realize

1082
01:17:38,320 --> 01:17:42,840
Speaker 1: that that freedom is inextricably bound to our freedom. We

1083
01:17:43,080 --> 01:17:48,559
Speaker 1: cannot walk alone, and as we walk, we must make

1084
01:17:48,640 --> 01:17:53,839
Speaker 1: the plans that we shall always march ahead. We cannot

1085
01:17:53,960 --> 01:17:57,520
Speaker 1: turn back. Now are those who are asking the devotees

1086
01:17:57,600 --> 01:18:01,840
Speaker 1: of civil rights, when will you be atisfied? We can

1087
01:18:01,920 --> 01:18:04,560
Speaker 1: never be satisfied as long as the negro as the

1088
01:18:04,640 --> 01:18:09,519
Speaker 1: fifth victim of the unspeakable horrors of police brutality. We

1089
01:18:09,680 --> 01:18:14,799
Speaker 1: can never be satisfied. As long as our bodies, heavy

1090
01:18:14,880 --> 01:18:18,600
Speaker 1: with the fatigue of travel, cannot gain lodging in the

1091
01:18:18,760 --> 01:18:21,759
Speaker 1: motels of the highways and the hotels of the cities.

1092
01:18:26,920 --> 01:18:31,320
Speaker 1: We cannot be satisfied as long as the negro's basic

1093
01:18:31,479 --> 01:18:34,719
Speaker 1: mobilities from a smaller get off to a larger one.

1094
01:18:35,600 --> 01:18:39,240
Speaker 1: We can never be satisfied. As long as our children

1095
01:18:39,280 --> 01:18:42,480
Speaker 1: are stripped of our selfhood and robbed of that dignating

1096
01:18:42,560 --> 01:18:48,920
Speaker 1: for rights on there, we cannot be satisfied. As long

1097
01:18:49,000 --> 01:18:52,800
Speaker 1: as a negro in Mississippi cannot vote, and the negro

1098
01:18:52,920 --> 01:19:01,800
Speaker 1: in New York polies he has nothing for which to vote. No, No,

1099
01:19:02,160 --> 01:19:05,600
Speaker 1: we are not satisfied, and we will not be satisfied

1100
01:19:05,760 --> 01:19:10,040
Speaker 1: until justice rolled down like waters and righteousness like a

1101
01:19:10,160 --> 01:19:17,360
Speaker 1: mighty street. I am not unmindful that some of you

1102
01:19:17,600 --> 01:19:23,880
Speaker 1: have come here out of great trials and tribulation. Some

1103
01:19:24,080 --> 01:19:28,240
Speaker 1: of you have come fresh from narrow jail sales. Some

1104
01:19:28,439 --> 01:19:31,320
Speaker 1: of you have come from areas where you're pressed for freedom,

1105
01:19:31,960 --> 01:19:36,560
Speaker 1: left you battered by the storms of persecution and staggered

1106
01:19:36,600 --> 01:19:40,479
Speaker 1: by the winds of police brutality. You have been the

1107
01:19:40,640 --> 01:19:45,519
Speaker 1: veterans of creative suffering. Continue to work with the faith

1108
01:19:47,240 --> 01:19:53,520
Speaker 1: that on earned suffering is redemptive. Go back to Mississippi,

1109
01:19:54,880 --> 01:19:57,840
Speaker 1: Go back to Alabama, go back to South Carolina, go

1110
01:19:58,000 --> 01:20:01,600
Speaker 1: back to Georgia, go back to Louisiana. Go back to

1111
01:20:01,800 --> 01:20:06,120
Speaker 1: the slums and ghettos of our northern cities. Knowing that

1112
01:20:06,360 --> 01:20:11,320
Speaker 1: somehow this situation can and will be changed. Let us

1113
01:20:11,400 --> 01:20:15,479
Speaker 1: not while in the valley of despair. I say to

1114
01:20:15,600 --> 01:20:25,960
Speaker 1: you today, my friend, so even though we face the

1115
01:20:26,080 --> 01:20:31,599
Speaker 1: difficulties up to day and tomorrow, I still have a dream.

1116
01:20:33,720 --> 01:20:36,960
Speaker 1: It is a dream deeply rooted in the American dreams.

1117
01:20:38,479 --> 01:20:44,679
Speaker 1: I have a dream. But one day this nation will

1118
01:20:45,000 --> 01:20:49,280
Speaker 1: rise up, live up the true meaning of its creed.

1119
01:20:50,640 --> 01:20:54,479
Speaker 1: We hold these twos to be self evident, that all

1120
01:20:54,720 --> 01:21:09,559
Speaker 1: men are created, dream that one day on the Red

1121
01:21:09,680 --> 01:21:15,040
Speaker 1: Hills of Georgia, sons of farmer slaves, and the sons

1122
01:21:15,080 --> 01:21:19,160
Speaker 1: of farmer slave on it will be able to sit

1123
01:21:19,240 --> 01:21:22,320
Speaker 1: down together at the table of brotherhood. I have a

1124
01:21:22,439 --> 01:21:28,760
Speaker 1: dream that one day even the state of Mississippi, a

1125
01:21:28,880 --> 01:21:36,720
Speaker 1: state sweltering with the heat of injustice, sweltering with the

1126
01:21:36,840 --> 01:21:41,360
Speaker 1: heat of oppression, will be transformed into any waces of

1127
01:21:41,760 --> 01:21:49,040
Speaker 1: freedom and justice. I have a dream a little children

1128
01:21:50,200 --> 01:21:52,559
Speaker 1: will one day live in a nation where they will

1129
01:21:52,600 --> 01:21:55,000
Speaker 1: not be judged by the color of their skin, but

1130
01:21:55,160 --> 01:21:58,559
Speaker 1: by the content of their character. I have a dream today.

1131
01:22:01,320 --> 01:22:07,600
Speaker 1: I have a dream that one day, down in Alabama,

1132
01:22:08,040 --> 01:22:13,719
Speaker 1: with its vicious races, with its governor having his lips

1133
01:22:13,760 --> 01:22:17,880
Speaker 1: tripping with the words of interposition and nullifications, one day,

1134
01:22:18,040 --> 01:22:21,599
Speaker 1: right now in Alabama, little black bars and black girls

1135
01:22:21,920 --> 01:22:24,479
Speaker 1: will be able to join hands with little white bars

1136
01:22:24,520 --> 01:22:27,280
Speaker 1: and white girls as sisters and brothers. I have a

1137
01:22:27,400 --> 01:22:32,960
Speaker 1: dream today. I have a dream that one day every

1138
01:22:33,120 --> 01:22:37,240
Speaker 1: valet shall be exalted, every hill and mountain shall be

1139
01:22:37,360 --> 01:22:40,160
Speaker 1: made low, the rough places will be made plain, and

1140
01:22:40,360 --> 01:22:43,080
Speaker 1: the crooked places will be made straight. And the gore

1141
01:22:43,160 --> 01:22:46,120
Speaker 1: of the Lord shall be revealed, and all flesh shall

1142
01:22:46,280 --> 01:22:50,400
Speaker 1: see it. Together. This is our hope. This is a

1143
01:22:50,600 --> 01:22:54,439
Speaker 1: piece that I go back to the software. With this faith,

1144
01:22:55,160 --> 01:22:57,479
Speaker 1: we will be able to hear out of the mountain

1145
01:22:57,520 --> 01:23:02,400
Speaker 1: of despair a stone apport. With this fee, we will

1146
01:23:02,439 --> 01:23:05,920
Speaker 1: be able to transform the jangling discords of our nation

1147
01:23:06,400 --> 01:23:10,960
Speaker 1: into a beautiful symphony of brotherhood. With this fee, we

1148
01:23:11,160 --> 01:23:13,960
Speaker 1: will be able to work together, to pray together, to

1149
01:23:14,120 --> 01:23:17,640
Speaker 1: struggle together, to go to jail together, to stand up

1150
01:23:17,680 --> 01:23:21,800
Speaker 1: for freedom, together, knowing that we will be free. One day.

1151
01:23:26,920 --> 01:23:29,519
Speaker 1: This will be the day when all of God's children

1152
01:23:30,760 --> 01:23:34,320
Speaker 1: be able to sing with new meaning. My country tears

1153
01:23:34,360 --> 01:23:38,360
Speaker 1: at the sweet land of liberty of bee our sings,

1154
01:23:39,360 --> 01:23:42,879
Speaker 1: land where my fathers died, land of the pilgrim's pride.

1155
01:23:43,800 --> 01:23:48,439
Speaker 1: From every mountain side, Let freedom ring of Americus. To

1156
01:23:48,479 --> 01:23:52,760
Speaker 1: be a great nation, this must become true. So Let

01:23:52,880 --> 01:23:57,800
Speaker 1: freedom ring from the prodigious hilltops of New Hampshire. Let

1158
01:23:57,920 --> 01:24:02,920
Speaker 1: freedom ring from the mighty mountains of New York. Let

1159
01:24:03,040 --> 01:24:07,839
Speaker 1: freedom ring from the heightening allegantors of Pennsylvania. Let freedom

1160
01:24:07,920 --> 01:24:12,320
Speaker 1: ring from the snow cap rocks of Colorado. Let freedom

1161
01:24:12,439 --> 01:24:16,640
Speaker 1: ring from the crevacious slopes of California. But not only that,

1162
01:24:17,960 --> 01:24:23,240
Speaker 1: Let freedom ring from stone mountain of Georgia. Let freedom

1163
01:24:23,360 --> 01:24:28,599
Speaker 1: ring from lookout mountain of Tennessee. Let freedom ring from

1164
01:24:28,680 --> 01:24:33,920
Speaker 1: every hill and mole hill of Mississippi, from every mountainside.

1165
01:24:34,960 --> 01:24:41,800
Speaker 1: Let freedom ring, and windom happens when we allow freedom ring.

1166
01:24:43,560 --> 01:24:46,639
Speaker 1: When we letted ring from every village and ever hamlet,

1167
01:24:47,040 --> 01:24:51,639
Speaker 1: from every state and every city, we will be able

01:25:00,960 --> 01:25:04,000
Speaker 1: be able to join the hands and singing the words

1171
01:25:04,040 --> 01:25:07,599
Speaker 1: of the old nick Ros spiritual free and last free,

1172
01:25:07,640 --> 01:25:16,759
Speaker 1: and laugh. Thank God, We'll be back. You're listening, all right, Steve.

1173
01:25:16,920 --> 01:25:19,120
Speaker 1: You know we have to talk openly with our children

1174
01:25:19,200 --> 01:25:23,880
Speaker 1: about race, about ethnicity, about religion and bigotry. Uh have

1175
01:25:24,040 --> 01:25:26,400
Speaker 1: you dealt with that? I mean, I'm sure you have.

1176
01:25:27,240 --> 01:25:30,400
Speaker 1: But have I dealt with yeah, with your children? I mean,

1177
01:25:30,560 --> 01:25:32,800
Speaker 1: you know, talking to them about it at a young age.

1178
01:25:33,479 --> 01:25:35,280
Speaker 1: I mean, you know, I had a couple of incidents.

1179
01:25:35,720 --> 01:25:39,120
Speaker 1: Has happened, you know about race? I try to My

1180
01:25:39,280 --> 01:25:42,439
Speaker 1: kids grew up very very different from me, so da've afforded,

1181
01:25:42,760 --> 01:25:46,120
Speaker 1: were afforded a different lifestyle than I had. So none

1182
01:25:46,160 --> 01:25:48,400
Speaker 1: of my kids grew up in the hood My kids

1183
01:25:48,479 --> 01:25:52,520
Speaker 1: have been fortunate enough to live in totally different environments

1184
01:25:52,600 --> 01:25:56,920
Speaker 1: and I grew up in so they've I've always encouraged

1185
01:25:56,960 --> 01:25:59,840
Speaker 1: my kids to accept people for who they were, as

1186
01:26:00,000 --> 01:26:02,559
Speaker 1: long as they accept you for who you are. I'm

1187
01:26:02,560 --> 01:26:05,320
Speaker 1: a realist when I talk to my kids about racism.

1188
01:26:06,680 --> 01:26:08,840
Speaker 1: If somebody got a problem with you because of the

1189
01:26:08,960 --> 01:26:12,120
Speaker 1: color of your skin, I said, you're gonna know it,

1190
01:26:13,760 --> 01:26:16,920
Speaker 1: and then you have to deal with it accordingly. You know,

1191
01:26:17,360 --> 01:26:20,559
Speaker 1: everybody not going All people are not good people. There's

1192
01:26:20,600 --> 01:26:23,000
Speaker 1: just some bad people out there, or when you run

1193
01:26:23,080 --> 01:26:25,439
Speaker 1: into them. You have to have an assurance. You have

1194
01:26:25,520 --> 01:26:28,720
Speaker 1: to have a confidence level, a certain amount of self

1195
01:26:28,840 --> 01:26:33,439
Speaker 1: esteem about yourself. Don't let nobody make you try to

1196
01:26:33,600 --> 01:26:37,360
Speaker 1: feel less than simply because of the color of your skin.

1197
01:26:37,640 --> 01:26:40,280
Speaker 1: That's not gonna happen. And I've given them my full

1198
01:26:40,320 --> 01:26:43,360
Speaker 1: permission to address it. I'm probably not the best parent

1199
01:26:44,120 --> 01:26:47,080
Speaker 1: to talk about racism with your kids because I've had

1200
01:26:47,120 --> 01:26:51,800
Speaker 1: to deal with it on some very blatant levels, you know,

1201
01:26:51,880 --> 01:26:55,519
Speaker 1: I've seen it from some really dark angles, man, and

1202
01:26:55,680 --> 01:26:59,360
Speaker 1: so I've just always had my kids in a position

1203
01:26:59,479 --> 01:27:03,280
Speaker 1: where they they deal with it if they if they

1204
01:27:03,400 --> 01:27:06,960
Speaker 1: see it, you know, if they're confronted with it, deal

1205
01:27:07,040 --> 01:27:10,360
Speaker 1: with it. Be courageous about it. Don't put yourself in

1206
01:27:10,439 --> 01:27:14,000
Speaker 1: a life threatening situation about it, but be courageous about it.

1207
01:27:14,439 --> 01:27:17,080
Speaker 1: But my kids are open to people, you know, they

1208
01:27:17,560 --> 01:27:22,280
Speaker 1: accept people for who they are. They don't have hang

1209
01:27:22,360 --> 01:27:27,000
Speaker 1: ups when it comes to race. You know, Oh, my

1210
01:27:27,240 --> 01:27:32,519
Speaker 1: son's wife is from it has biracial parents. My son's

1211
01:27:32,600 --> 01:27:36,840
Speaker 1: wife has biracial parents. And you know, we all eat,

1212
01:27:36,960 --> 01:27:40,120
Speaker 1: we all celebrate holidays, and we have a problem with that.

1213
01:27:40,680 --> 01:27:43,439
Speaker 1: I'm it's very simple to me. If you cool to me,

1214
01:27:43,880 --> 01:27:48,960
Speaker 1: I'm cool with you. That's it. I don't I don't

1215
01:27:49,000 --> 01:27:54,400
Speaker 1: do good with people who who don't. I don't do

1216
01:27:54,560 --> 01:27:57,679
Speaker 1: good with racism. I just don't. I'm not the best

1217
01:27:57,760 --> 01:28:00,880
Speaker 1: person to talk about it because if you extend it

1218
01:28:00,960 --> 01:28:03,720
Speaker 1: to me. I hate to say this, but I give

1219
01:28:03,760 --> 01:28:11,800
Speaker 1: it back to you four fledge. Yeah, well, okay, I

1220
01:28:11,920 --> 01:28:15,240
Speaker 1: think racism will be with us until the end of time.

1221
01:28:16,400 --> 01:28:20,320
Speaker 1: But I hate to hear that, but I do. Probably true. Now.

1222
01:28:20,640 --> 01:28:25,240
Speaker 1: The sad thing about it is is because of this presidency,

1223
01:28:26,479 --> 01:28:31,000
Speaker 1: it has racism has reared his ugly head and kind

1224
01:28:31,040 --> 01:28:33,360
Speaker 1: of felt like a little bit better about doing it.

1225
01:28:33,640 --> 01:28:37,160
Speaker 1: Seems like and that's a scary place to be. Yes,

1226
01:28:37,240 --> 01:28:39,600
Speaker 1: it is, and we'll be back right after this. On

1227
01:28:39,720 --> 01:28:43,000
Speaker 1: this King Day, I tend to Steve Harvy Nation. On

1228
01:28:43,120 --> 01:28:45,519
Speaker 1: this King Holiday, I want to see y'all giving back

1229
01:28:45,600 --> 01:28:47,880
Speaker 1: to day. Okay, in the words of doctor King, what

1230
01:28:48,000 --> 01:28:50,400
Speaker 1: are you doing for others? So just go to any

1231
01:28:50,439 --> 01:28:53,840
Speaker 1: of my social media sites on Facebook, page, Instagram or

1232
01:28:53,920 --> 01:28:57,400
Speaker 1: tweet me pictures. Are you doing community service helping others?

1233
01:28:57,760 --> 01:28:59,760
Speaker 1: Please don't just make this a day off, make it

1234
01:28:59,800 --> 01:29:04,840
Speaker 1: a you're listening to this Dave Harvey Morning Show, Happy

1235
01:29:04,960 --> 01:29:08,160
Speaker 1: King Day. We are here on twenty nineteen King Holiday

1236
01:29:08,320 --> 01:29:12,040
Speaker 1: talking about racism. As you know, our President Donald Trump

1237
01:29:12,160 --> 01:29:15,479
Speaker 1: has denied being a racist, but the first half of

1238
01:29:15,560 --> 01:29:19,879
Speaker 1: Trump's presidency has been marked by racial controversy. The president

1239
01:29:20,000 --> 01:29:25,320
Speaker 1: has reportedly labeled African Americans nations as blank hold, blank

1240
01:29:25,360 --> 01:29:28,960
Speaker 1: hold countries. In August twenty seventeen, Trump took heat for

1241
01:29:29,040 --> 01:29:33,000
Speaker 1: appearing to defend white nationalists after he said that there

1242
01:29:33,040 --> 01:29:35,599
Speaker 1: were very fine people on both sides. We all remember

1243
01:29:35,680 --> 01:29:39,600
Speaker 1: that that was following the deadly protests in Charlottesville, Virginia.

1244
01:29:40,120 --> 01:29:43,960
Speaker 1: And this is the type of thing that activists, religious

1245
01:29:44,040 --> 01:29:47,719
Speaker 1: leaders and scholars say that puts Trump's presidency in direct

1246
01:29:47,880 --> 01:29:51,680
Speaker 1: conflict with the legacy of doctor King, who was assassinated

1247
01:29:51,760 --> 01:29:55,040
Speaker 1: April fourth, nineteen sixty eight while trying to make America

1248
01:29:55,320 --> 01:30:05,320
Speaker 1: a more inclusive society. Uh. I don't think that Donald

1249
01:30:05,360 --> 01:30:09,080
Speaker 1: Trump is aware of the efforts and greatness of modern

1250
01:30:09,120 --> 01:30:12,479
Speaker 1: Luther King. I don't expect him to say anything of

1251
01:30:12,760 --> 01:30:16,400
Speaker 1: any relevance at all, And if he does, he'll have

1252
01:30:16,560 --> 01:30:23,799
Speaker 1: to read it, yeah, because he certainly doesn't embody anything

1253
01:30:24,240 --> 01:30:27,720
Speaker 1: anything that this man was about. You know, this is

1254
01:30:27,840 --> 01:30:31,040
Speaker 1: the same dude that said Frederick Douglas has done some

1255
01:30:31,240 --> 01:30:35,720
Speaker 1: great things. You know, he actually thought Frederick Douglas was

1256
01:30:35,760 --> 01:30:42,599
Speaker 1: still alive. Yeah, this dude right, and they're doing great work. Yeah,

1257
01:30:43,320 --> 01:30:48,320
Speaker 1: this dude, I don't expect anything from him. Every president

1258
01:30:48,439 --> 01:30:52,000
Speaker 1: has mentioned it. If he mentioned something, he's gonna have

1259
01:30:52,120 --> 01:30:55,400
Speaker 1: to read it and it will look like he's reading. Oh,

1260
01:30:55,560 --> 01:31:01,519
Speaker 1: for sure. His voice tone is different everything. There's almost

1261
01:31:01,600 --> 01:31:05,880
Speaker 1: no inflections in his voice. It's quite different when he's reading. Yeah,

1262
01:31:05,920 --> 01:31:14,040
Speaker 1: but when he's off script, he's loud and right. But

1263
01:31:14,120 --> 01:31:15,960
Speaker 1: when he tries to read the teleprompt he tries to

1264
01:31:16,000 --> 01:31:19,400
Speaker 1: be calm about it. But it's not genuine. He's just reading.

1265
01:31:19,520 --> 01:31:22,240
Speaker 1: He's just reading words. Believe what he's saying. There's just

1266
01:31:22,400 --> 01:31:26,600
Speaker 1: words coming out of his mouth. Yeah, he's just not

1267
01:31:26,920 --> 01:31:29,960
Speaker 1: So you know, we those of us who understand the

1268
01:31:30,120 --> 01:31:33,200
Speaker 1: legacy and what Marl Luther King, don't expect anything from

1269
01:31:33,240 --> 01:31:35,800
Speaker 1: the White House, no better than you've been getting. Don't

1270
01:31:35,840 --> 01:31:38,439
Speaker 1: get upset. You ain't gotta be mad about it. If

1271
01:31:38,479 --> 01:31:41,720
Speaker 1: he says anything, it will be read and he will

1272
01:31:41,840 --> 01:31:44,759
Speaker 1: not mean it, and he won't look like it because

1273
01:31:44,840 --> 01:31:48,320
Speaker 1: he embodies none of his principle, none of them. So

1274
01:31:49,040 --> 01:31:51,680
Speaker 1: don't please, don't even get mad today. It's just gon

1275
01:31:51,960 --> 01:31:57,640
Speaker 1: celebrate the brother, you know, don't with it. It's just

1276
01:31:58,240 --> 01:32:01,320
Speaker 1: I guess you know, after the Civil rights movement, this

1277
01:32:01,800 --> 01:32:04,880
Speaker 1: che racial divide that we have in the country right now,

1278
01:32:05,000 --> 01:32:09,320
Speaker 1: this is where we are, yea, and our leader, the

1279
01:32:09,439 --> 01:32:12,439
Speaker 1: president is who's supposed to bring people together. He's the

1280
01:32:12,520 --> 01:32:16,559
Speaker 1: president for all people, the entire nation. Let me explain

1281
01:32:16,640 --> 01:32:22,920
Speaker 1: something to you. Even this um this government shutdown, Uh

1282
01:32:23,320 --> 01:32:26,880
Speaker 1: it was. It's all done so he can posture himself

1283
01:32:27,000 --> 01:32:31,200
Speaker 1: up to feel this commitment to a minimum of Americans,

1284
01:32:31,600 --> 01:32:36,080
Speaker 1: a very very minimum of American Because I heard very

1285
01:32:36,200 --> 01:32:40,000
Speaker 1: clearly today some people who don't have any money, who

1286
01:32:40,040 --> 01:32:42,479
Speaker 1: are in line at a food bank, who because their

1287
01:32:42,560 --> 01:32:46,800
Speaker 1: federal employees say it's not fair to hold me hostage

1288
01:32:47,160 --> 01:32:51,320
Speaker 1: for a wall that I don't even know nothing about. True, true, true,

1289
01:32:51,880 --> 01:32:54,640
Speaker 1: And that's exactly what's happened, all right, Steve coming up

1290
01:32:54,720 --> 01:33:01,280
Speaker 1: closing remarks right after this. You're listening. The other day

1291
01:33:01,360 --> 01:33:06,240
Speaker 1: on the show, I was asking Ernie Hudson. I have

1292
01:33:06,400 --> 01:33:10,839
Speaker 1: this thing on the show called Uncensored rapid fire Questions,

1293
01:33:13,120 --> 01:33:16,599
Speaker 1: and I asked Ernie Hudson, if you could have dinner

1294
01:33:17,880 --> 01:33:22,640
Speaker 1: with any celebrity living or deceased, who would it be.

1295
01:33:23,360 --> 01:33:27,439
Speaker 1: And Ernie Hudson said Sidney Portier because he's an actor

1296
01:33:27,640 --> 01:33:31,120
Speaker 1: and Ernie Hudson's an actor. It's sort of funny. So

1297
01:33:31,200 --> 01:33:34,920
Speaker 1: we were talking off the air and he asked me

1298
01:33:36,040 --> 01:33:39,120
Speaker 1: who would I want to have dinner with? And it's

1299
01:33:39,120 --> 01:33:42,200
Speaker 1: two people man that I said I wish I could

1300
01:33:42,280 --> 01:33:46,439
Speaker 1: sit and have dinner with, and it was Richard Pryor

1301
01:33:47,840 --> 01:33:51,519
Speaker 1: and Marlin Luther King. But I was kind of tossed

1302
01:33:51,600 --> 01:33:54,280
Speaker 1: up because I really want to sit down and have

1303
01:33:54,439 --> 01:34:00,879
Speaker 1: dinner with Muhammad Ali. So it's almost a three way affair.

1304
01:34:01,040 --> 01:34:06,519
Speaker 1: For me, it's almost even. These were three people who

1305
01:34:06,680 --> 01:34:11,080
Speaker 1: had a major impact on my life as a black

1306
01:34:11,200 --> 01:34:16,280
Speaker 1: man and as a career. I mean Richard Pryor man.

1307
01:34:18,200 --> 01:34:21,760
Speaker 1: When I saw him, the first time I saw him,

1308
01:34:21,800 --> 01:34:26,960
Speaker 1: I said, that's what I'm gonna be now. Mohammed Ali,

1309
01:34:27,120 --> 01:34:30,280
Speaker 1: I knew him before I knew anything of Richard Pryor.

1310
01:34:31,760 --> 01:34:39,040
Speaker 1: Mohammed Ali was the first person that ever ever made

1311
01:34:39,160 --> 01:34:44,160
Speaker 1: me think I could be great. And even though I

1312
01:34:44,200 --> 01:34:49,640
Speaker 1: don't consider myself great, at least he put it inside

1313
01:34:49,720 --> 01:34:53,280
Speaker 1: of me and made me think I could be great

1314
01:34:54,400 --> 01:34:57,200
Speaker 1: and made me want to start working my tail off

1315
01:34:57,320 --> 01:35:03,920
Speaker 1: to achieve some form of greatness. But even before those two,

1316
01:35:05,840 --> 01:35:11,200
Speaker 1: Martin Luther King had put an impression on me as

1317
01:35:11,280 --> 01:35:15,960
Speaker 1: a boy that has shaped and molded me even to

1318
01:35:16,200 --> 01:35:22,840
Speaker 1: this day. I remember in school, in elementary school, when

1319
01:35:22,920 --> 01:35:27,160
Speaker 1: he was killed and the teacher made us watch his

1320
01:35:27,400 --> 01:35:32,759
Speaker 1: funeral on TV. And that casket, that mule drawn casket

1321
01:35:32,960 --> 01:35:35,800
Speaker 1: was being pulled up the street, and I was looking

1322
01:35:35,840 --> 01:35:39,560
Speaker 1: at my teacher. She was just crying, man, And I

1323
01:35:39,760 --> 01:35:46,080
Speaker 1: was so not understanding why this happened. Because she used

1324
01:35:46,120 --> 01:35:48,720
Speaker 1: to play the speeches for us that I have a

1325
01:35:48,880 --> 01:35:52,320
Speaker 1: dream and all of that, and I could not understand

1326
01:35:52,479 --> 01:35:55,360
Speaker 1: for the life of me as a boy, why they

1327
01:35:55,400 --> 01:36:00,080
Speaker 1: would kill Martin Luther King. I heard my father to

1328
01:36:00,280 --> 01:36:03,599
Speaker 1: say in angle one time after marm Luther King got killed.

1329
01:36:04,640 --> 01:36:07,120
Speaker 1: He said, boy, we're in a world of trouble and

1330
01:36:07,280 --> 01:36:09,040
Speaker 1: white folks just don't want to have nothing to do

1331
01:36:09,200 --> 01:36:16,799
Speaker 1: with us. That impacted me, man, It impacted me because

1332
01:36:16,960 --> 01:36:21,639
Speaker 1: I really really thought for so many years that white

1333
01:36:21,720 --> 01:36:23,680
Speaker 1: people really didn't want to have nothing to do with

1334
01:36:23,800 --> 01:36:28,439
Speaker 1: Black people. And as I got a little bit older

1335
01:36:28,640 --> 01:36:30,960
Speaker 1: and I was listening back to his speeches because I

1336
01:36:31,080 --> 01:36:32,800
Speaker 1: used to play him in my car when I was

1337
01:36:32,960 --> 01:36:34,679
Speaker 1: homeless year. I used to play a lot of Marana

1338
01:36:34,760 --> 01:36:37,400
Speaker 1: Luther King tapes. You could buy him at truck stops

1339
01:36:37,439 --> 01:36:40,960
Speaker 1: and stuff just be Causet tapes. I was listening to

1340
01:36:41,120 --> 01:36:44,599
Speaker 1: him and his message of peace and love and struggle

1341
01:36:45,600 --> 01:36:50,160
Speaker 1: and what was right in human dignity. It started reshaping me,

1342
01:36:50,240 --> 01:36:54,680
Speaker 1: and I began to think, I said, Okay, this can't be.

1343
01:36:54,920 --> 01:36:57,920
Speaker 1: He can't be talking about all of us and all

1344
01:36:58,479 --> 01:37:00,800
Speaker 1: it's just a few people that don't on this to work.

1345
01:37:01,200 --> 01:37:05,479
Speaker 1: And so that started reshaping me. Also, he was so

1346
01:37:05,800 --> 01:37:09,120
Speaker 1: impactful with what he said to us as a people

1347
01:37:10,080 --> 01:37:14,720
Speaker 1: that how in the world has this black man, with

1348
01:37:14,960 --> 01:37:21,479
Speaker 1: his message of love and submission and strength, caused so

1349
01:37:21,680 --> 01:37:26,960
Speaker 1: many changes in laws, affirmative action, so many things of

1350
01:37:27,120 --> 01:37:31,519
Speaker 1: that nature. It caused a lot of people to view

1351
01:37:31,600 --> 01:37:35,400
Speaker 1: us differently. When Bull Connors turned those fire hoses on

1352
01:37:35,600 --> 01:37:41,280
Speaker 1: us in Birmingham, Alabama, it made America see what America

1353
01:37:41,360 --> 01:37:44,599
Speaker 1: really was. And America had to change a little bit,

1354
01:37:44,800 --> 01:37:46,320
Speaker 1: you know what I mean. And we still got a

1355
01:37:46,360 --> 01:37:48,479
Speaker 1: long way to go. But I look back at MoMA

1356
01:37:48,560 --> 01:37:50,680
Speaker 1: Luther King and all he stood for and what he did.

1357
01:37:50,920 --> 01:37:52,920
Speaker 1: It's just one of the greatest people of my time.

1358
01:37:53,840 --> 01:37:55,800
Speaker 1: Now you may have a different opinion, but this is

1359
01:37:55,880 --> 01:37:58,960
Speaker 1: just mine. He was one of the greatest human beings

1360
01:37:59,360 --> 01:38:03,360
Speaker 1: of my time. I don't know anybody that has made

1361
01:38:03,360 --> 01:38:07,880
Speaker 1: a bigger contribution to this world than him, the world

1362
01:38:07,920 --> 01:38:11,400
Speaker 1: that I live in that I see, I don't know

1363
01:38:11,520 --> 01:38:14,599
Speaker 1: a black person that made a larger contribution. I don't

1364

1371
01:38:43,600 --> 01:38:48,719
Speaker 1: a combination of those three people. My career was patterned

1372
01:38:48,840 --> 01:38:52,160
Speaker 1: after Richard Pryde just wanted to be funny. Nobody will

1373

1374
01:38:54,479 --> 01:38:57,760

1375
01:38:57,840 --> 01:39:02,479
Speaker 1: a decent person, as was Marma Luther King. I try

1376
01:39:02,520 --> 01:39:05,880
Speaker 1: to help and inspire people. But I got a lot

01:39:12,880 --> 01:39:14,880
Speaker 1: of strength and a lot of courage to stand up

1380
01:39:14,920 --> 01:39:17,040

1382
01:39:19,800 --> 01:39:21,800
