WEBVTT - Rush Limbaugh August 18th, 2017

0:00:00.200 --> 0:00:03.920
<v Speaker 1>A man of the cloth. A pastor has asked the

0:00:03.960 --> 0:00:06.560
<v Speaker 1>mayor of Chicago to change the names of two parks

0:00:06.559 --> 0:00:11.080
<v Speaker 1>in his neighborhood. Bishop James Duke's pastor Deliberation Christian Center,

0:00:11.400 --> 0:00:15.360
<v Speaker 1>says Chicago has no business honoring George Washington and Andrew Jackson.

0:00:15.680 --> 0:00:18.480
<v Speaker 1>He says that both were slave owners, which is especially

0:00:18.480 --> 0:00:22.520
<v Speaker 1>offensive in Chicago's black communities. He told the media, when

0:00:22.560 --> 0:00:25.919
<v Speaker 1>my children or grandchildren walked through these parks and say, grandfather,

0:00:26.160 --> 0:00:28.360
<v Speaker 1>wasn't he a slave owner? How do I explain that?

0:00:28.760 --> 0:00:31.080
<v Speaker 1>And how do I reconcile that with their views of

0:00:31.120 --> 0:00:34.320
<v Speaker 1>what heroes are. Pastor Dukes says that he isn't trying

0:00:34.320 --> 0:00:37.720
<v Speaker 1>to eradicate history. He just wants it put where it

0:00:37.800 --> 0:00:42.000
<v Speaker 1>belongs so it can be taught properly. Now, who does

0:00:42.080 --> 0:00:44.640
<v Speaker 1>Pastor Dukes think is worthy of having their names on

0:00:44.720 --> 0:00:48.239
<v Speaker 1>community parks? When he offered a couple of ideas, the

0:00:48.320 --> 0:00:53.400
<v Speaker 1>reverend jacks or Michael Jackson. Actor Leslie Odom Jr. Who

0:00:53.400 --> 0:00:56.680
<v Speaker 1>performed in the Broadway musical Hamilton also wait did He

0:00:56.800 --> 0:01:00.240
<v Speaker 1>told TMZ that pulling down statues of Washington and Jeffreyson

0:01:00.680 --> 0:01:03.760
<v Speaker 1>should be on the table for discussion. Perhaps the better

0:01:03.840 --> 0:01:06.520
<v Speaker 1>question for Rom Emmanuel, the mayor, and Pastor Davis and

0:01:06.640 --> 0:01:09.520
<v Speaker 1>Mr Odom isn't what the name of the parks ought

0:01:09.600 --> 0:01:13.040
<v Speaker 1>to be. It's whether children and grandchildren who visit the

0:01:13.040 --> 0:01:16.440
<v Speaker 1>parks in Chicago these days stand a chance of getting

0:01:16.440 --> 0:01:18.560
<v Speaker 1>out of them alive. I mean, there's a lot of

0:01:18.560 --> 0:01:22.199
<v Speaker 1>people getting shot in Chicago. You remember that, right, Kids too,
