Speaker 6: one and only Steve Harvey got this radio show. Man,

16
00:02:16,000 --> 00:02:19,240
Speaker 6: How I got here? I really can't explain it. Only

17
00:02:19,280 --> 00:02:21,760
Speaker 6: by the grace of God, That's all I can really

18
00:02:21,800 --> 00:02:26,600
Speaker 6: tell you. I was talking with a buddy the other

19
00:02:26,680 --> 00:02:28,800
Speaker 6: day and he was telling me. He said, Man, he

20
00:02:28,840 --> 00:02:30,680
Speaker 6: had an interesting philosophy about it.

21
00:02:32,040 --> 00:02:33,600
Speaker 2: He say. You know, you can have.

22
00:02:33,600 --> 00:02:37,959
Speaker 6: Dreams and visions, he say, but God, God will never

23
00:02:38,080 --> 00:02:38,720
Speaker 6: show you.

24
00:02:40,160 --> 00:02:41,640
Speaker 2: What all he has for you.

25
00:02:43,320 --> 00:02:46,560
Speaker 6: He won't show you all of it because he knows

26
00:02:46,600 --> 00:02:50,640
Speaker 6: you'll mess it up. And you know what, man, I

27
00:02:50,720 --> 00:02:53,320
Speaker 6: thought about that, and wow, how true is that?

28
00:02:54,960 --> 00:02:55,360
Speaker 2: Okay?

29
00:02:56,400 --> 00:03:00,400
Speaker 6: I know that I got a radio show. I didn't

30
00:03:00,440 --> 00:03:03,320
Speaker 6: see it. It's just become this major blessing for me.

31
00:03:04,000 --> 00:03:06,880
Speaker 6: I didn't see it. But if I would have seen

32
00:03:06,919 --> 00:03:10,560
Speaker 6: it and known when he had planned on giving it

33
00:03:10,600 --> 00:03:14,480
Speaker 6: to me, I would have messed it up because Number one,

34
00:03:14,639 --> 00:03:17,360
Speaker 6: my first question would have been to him, why I

35
00:03:17,360 --> 00:03:20,920
Speaker 6: got to wait so long? Why don't I go down

36
00:03:21,080 --> 00:03:25,400
Speaker 6: hill and start on the radio now? And then I'll

37
00:03:25,480 --> 00:03:29,000
Speaker 6: be in radio and then tyd, I see the God.

38
00:03:29,880 --> 00:03:32,040
Speaker 6: But see, the thing about God is God don't need

39
00:03:32,120 --> 00:03:35,840
Speaker 6: your help. Matter of fact, he don't really want it.

40
00:03:36,160 --> 00:03:39,200
Speaker 6: All he wants is you to love him and obey

41
00:03:39,680 --> 00:03:41,040
Speaker 6: if you can do them two things.

42
00:03:41,200 --> 00:03:44,360
Speaker 2: I think I could be wrong. I think he'd be

43
00:03:44,400 --> 00:03:47,839
Speaker 2: really cool with us. So had I known.

44
00:03:49,080 --> 00:03:51,960
Speaker 6: About these blessings that he had for me, I would

45
00:03:52,000 --> 00:03:54,080
Speaker 6: have messed him up because I would have put my

46
00:03:54,200 --> 00:03:57,320
Speaker 6: thinking in the figuring process, and that would ejected it

47
00:03:57,440 --> 00:04:00,840
Speaker 6: all up. That's the first thing I asked him why

48
00:04:00,880 --> 00:04:02,040
Speaker 6: I got away so long?

49
00:04:02,560 --> 00:04:04,760
Speaker 2: And then if he'd shown me what I was gonna

50
00:04:04,800 --> 00:04:07,600
Speaker 2: have to do to get it, I would have showed

51
00:04:07,680 --> 00:04:10,320
Speaker 2: messed that up. Man, I ain't finna do that. I

52
00:04:10,320 --> 00:04:11,560
Speaker 2: ain't finna do all of that.

53
00:04:12,320 --> 00:04:14,400
Speaker 6: Wait a minute, I got to go through all of

54
00:04:14,400 --> 00:04:16,000
Speaker 6: these mishaps in my life.

55
00:04:16,400 --> 00:04:18,119
Speaker 2: So when I get the radio show.

56
00:04:18,400 --> 00:04:22,719
Speaker 6: I have something to share, Man, why won't I just

57
00:04:22,760 --> 00:04:25,520
Speaker 6: read a couple books and share that experience with them?

58
00:04:25,839 --> 00:04:26,039
Speaker 2: Now?

59
00:04:26,600 --> 00:04:29,200
Speaker 6: See, I want you to know what you're talking about.

60
00:04:30,520 --> 00:04:33,560
Speaker 6: I want you to be transparent. I want people to

61
00:04:33,640 --> 00:04:36,600
Speaker 6: be able to identify with your struggle and apply they

62
00:04:36,600 --> 00:04:38,880
Speaker 6: struggle to it and see that they can get over.

63
00:04:39,960 --> 00:04:40,400
Speaker 2: See.

64
00:04:40,720 --> 00:04:43,520
Speaker 6: God never shows you all of it because he know

65
00:04:43,600 --> 00:04:44,400
Speaker 6: we'll mess it up.

66
00:04:44,960 --> 00:04:45,600
Speaker 2: I wouldn't have.

67
00:04:45,560 --> 00:04:49,599
Speaker 6: Any books, I certainly please know, I would not be

68
00:04:49,680 --> 00:04:51,359
Speaker 6: the host of family few can I tell you that

00:04:53,960 --> 00:04:58,599
Speaker 6: it is amazing man, how God works, and my invitation

70
00:04:58,720 --> 00:05:03,480
Speaker 6: to everybody today is allowed God to work. You know,

71
00:05:03,560 --> 00:05:05,320
Speaker 6: you can ask him why all you want to, And

72
00:05:05,360 --> 00:05:09,000
Speaker 6: from time to time I still do no good for me.

73
00:05:09,080 --> 00:05:11,520
Speaker 2: But that o me old woe is me? Lord? Thing

74
00:05:11,560 --> 00:05:12,200
Speaker 2: that don't.

75
00:05:11,960 --> 00:05:15,239
Speaker 6: Really get it for me, because when I start asking

76
00:05:15,320 --> 00:05:18,719
Speaker 6: him why, I'm asking somebody who has a thought process

77
00:05:18,800 --> 00:05:21,320
Speaker 6: so high above mind that there's no way if he

78
00:05:21,400 --> 00:05:24,080
Speaker 6: told it to me, I wouldn't even get it. You

79
00:05:24,120 --> 00:05:26,520
Speaker 6: wouldn't either, Uncle, I'll bright you think you are. Man,

80
00:05:26,600 --> 00:05:28,800
Speaker 6: You just ain't gonna get how and why he does

81
00:05:28,839 --> 00:05:32,320
Speaker 6: it his way. You're not going to understand it. But

82
00:05:32,440 --> 00:05:35,200
Speaker 6: He has a plan for each and every one of us.

83
00:05:35,440 --> 00:05:38,080
Speaker 6: And if we adhere to the plan, if we submit

84
00:05:38,160 --> 00:05:40,760
Speaker 6: ourself to his will and just say, okay, God, what

85
00:05:40,839 --> 00:05:42,880
Speaker 6: you want me to do, I am telling you it

86
00:05:43,000 --> 00:05:44,160
Speaker 6: is the best way to live.

87
00:05:45,360 --> 00:05:45,640
Speaker 2: Now.

88
00:05:46,440 --> 00:05:48,200
Speaker 6: You can also do it the way I did it

89
00:05:48,440 --> 00:05:51,839
Speaker 6: early on. You can just do what you want to

90
00:05:51,880 --> 00:05:54,440
Speaker 6: do and see how it go from now. And I

91
00:05:54,440 --> 00:05:57,760
Speaker 6: will tell you from personal experience, it's not going to

92
00:05:57,880 --> 00:06:02,200
Speaker 6: go good. My wife and I were talking the other

93
00:06:02,279 --> 00:06:04,760
Speaker 6: day as she said something with me and I had

94
00:06:04,760 --> 00:06:07,320
Speaker 6: to write it down. She says, Steve, you know the

95
00:06:07,360 --> 00:06:11,320
Speaker 6: funny thing about sin. She says, sining costs you more

96
00:06:11,360 --> 00:06:14,159
Speaker 6: than you want to pay and causes you to stay

97
00:06:14,200 --> 00:06:19,839
Speaker 6: longer than you want to stay. I asked my wife

98
00:06:19,839 --> 00:06:22,200
Speaker 6: where she got that from. She says, some old person

99
00:06:22,279 --> 00:06:25,280
Speaker 6: told it to her. She says, sining cost you more

100
00:06:25,320 --> 00:06:28,159
Speaker 6: than you want to pay and causes you to stay

101
00:06:28,200 --> 00:06:31,400
Speaker 6: longer than you want to stay. That's the problem, man,

102
00:06:31,440 --> 00:06:34,040
Speaker 6: about doing what you want to do. Because we are

103
00:06:34,080 --> 00:06:37,120
Speaker 6: all sinners man, all of us, all of us, every

104
00:06:37,240 --> 00:06:39,120
Speaker 6: last one of us a sinners. You will be a

105
00:06:39,160 --> 00:06:42,040
Speaker 6: sinner until you die. Now you could be saved by

106
00:06:42,080 --> 00:06:45,440
Speaker 6: grace but you're going to be a sinner man. You

107
00:06:45,480 --> 00:06:49,520
Speaker 6: are going to make mistakes. You are going to in

108
00:06:49,560 --> 00:06:54,200
Speaker 6: your life knowingly do wrong. I bet you will. I

109
00:06:54,200 --> 00:06:56,120
Speaker 6: don't know who you think you are. I don't know

110
00:06:56,160 --> 00:07:00,200
Speaker 6: who you've been listening to. But get this, we are sinners.

111
00:07:00,960 --> 00:07:05,080
Speaker 6: We were born into a world that is sinful. Now

112
00:07:05,160 --> 00:07:09,200
Speaker 6: it's okay, it's okay, it's our world. But we can

113
00:07:09,240 --> 00:07:11,040
Speaker 6: make the best of it because we can form a

114
00:07:11,080 --> 00:07:14,240
Speaker 6: relationship with God and we can go to war with

115
00:07:14,280 --> 00:07:16,760
Speaker 6: this thing, you know, and we can win. You can

116
00:07:16,960 --> 00:07:21,000
Speaker 6: actually get over. Being born into this world.

117
00:07:20,840 --> 00:07:23,960
Speaker 2: Is not an end all. It doesn't mean you're doomed,

118
00:07:24,240 --> 00:07:25,160
Speaker 2: nah man.

119
00:07:25,400 --> 00:07:28,080
Speaker 6: Because God is available to give you life, and not

120
00:07:28,200 --> 00:07:31,080
Speaker 6: only give you life, but give it to you more abundantly.

121
00:07:32,120 --> 00:07:35,520
Speaker 6: I have more of an abundant life than I've ever had.

122
00:07:35,840 --> 00:07:40,160
Speaker 6: If you took away the finances, trust and believe, I

123
00:07:40,280 --> 00:07:42,440
Speaker 6: have so many things I could tell you that I'm

124
00:07:42,480 --> 00:07:47,560
Speaker 6: grateful for. For my wife, for my children, man, for

125
00:07:47,720 --> 00:07:52,480
Speaker 6: my family, for the few friends that I have, for

126
00:07:52,600 --> 00:07:56,440
Speaker 6: the work that I do, man for the respect that

128
00:07:59,600 --> 00:08:02,960
Speaker 6: repute Haiti I've earned. Now I ain't cool with everybody.

129
00:08:03,080 --> 00:08:03,680
Speaker 2: I got that.

130
00:08:04,800 --> 00:08:07,360
Speaker 6: I ain't cool with everybody. Everybody ain't cool with me.

131
00:08:07,600 --> 00:08:10,840
Speaker 6: Everybody don't like me. Man, get past that right there.

132
00:08:11,600 --> 00:08:13,920
Speaker 6: I don't care what you do. Everybody are gonna like you.

133
00:08:14,080 --> 00:08:16,240
Speaker 6: Some people didn't like Jesus. What did he do?

134
00:08:17,440 --> 00:08:21,280
Speaker 2: What did he do wrong to anybody?

135
00:08:21,920 --> 00:08:25,000
Speaker 6: Show it to me where he was just out there,

136
00:08:25,160 --> 00:08:28,680
Speaker 6: just messing over folks, and you could justify all that

137
00:08:28,760 --> 00:08:31,560
Speaker 6: happened to him. Just show it to me. But he

138
00:08:31,640 --> 00:08:35,520
Speaker 6: knew everybody ain't gonna like me. I just come to

139
00:08:35,600 --> 00:08:37,560
Speaker 6: save y'all, understand.

140
00:08:37,640 --> 00:08:38,120
Speaker 2: I got you.

00:08:38,160 --> 00:08:40,800
Speaker 6: Ain't feeling me. You're gonna spit on me. You're gonna

Speaker 6: You're gonna do all that to me. When you get through,

145
00:08:45,920 --> 00:08:49,760
Speaker 6: I still love you. That's a powerful statement. Man, God

146
00:08:49,800 --> 00:08:53,439
Speaker 6: will take care of you if you form this relationship

147
00:08:53,440 --> 00:08:57,240
Speaker 6: with him. He has something for you. He has a

148
00:08:57,280 --> 00:09:01,160
Speaker 6: plan for you that is beyond your imagine. He will

149
00:09:01,200 --> 00:09:04,080
Speaker 6: give you the desires of your heart. But he also

150
00:09:04,200 --> 00:09:06,240
Speaker 6: has some stuff in store for you that you're not

151
00:09:06,360 --> 00:09:10,560
Speaker 6: even asking for. That he is willing to ship to

152
00:09:10,760 --> 00:09:15,080
Speaker 6: an address that belongs to you as long as you

153
00:09:15,160 --> 00:09:19,280
Speaker 6: stay on the right path and are trying your best.

154

Speaker 6: God to ship you the blessing anyway, because please know

155
00:09:21,880 --> 00:09:24,000
Speaker 6: He's done it to me. I'm a living witness to

156
00:09:24,040 --> 00:09:26,640
Speaker 6: this that God will ship you blessings and you ain't

157
00:09:26,679 --> 00:09:29,440

Speaker 6: see you trying to change, if he see you trying

160
00:09:34,960 --> 00:09:38,160
Speaker 6: to get it right, he understands that you're gonna stumble

161
00:09:38,320 --> 00:09:41,200
Speaker 6: all the way through this thing. But if he know

162
00:09:41,320 --> 00:09:44,360
Speaker 6: your heart and he know you trying to get it right,

163
00:09:44,880 --> 00:09:47,400
Speaker 6: and you're doing the best you can, boy, here ship

164
00:09:47,480 --> 00:09:48,360
Speaker 6: some stuff your way.

165
00:09:48,440 --> 00:09:51,680
Speaker 2: Man. You really be tripping, man, You will really be tripping.

166
00:09:52,640 --> 00:09:56,880
Speaker 2: Steve Harvey got a radio show. Man. It's crazy, ain't it.

167
00:09:57,320 --> 00:10:02,480
Speaker 7: You're listening to the Steve Harvey Morning Show.

168
00:10:03,960 --> 00:10:06,959
Speaker 6: Ladies and gentlemen, welcome to the ride on this very

169
00:10:07,040 --> 00:10:14,200
Speaker 6: very special MLK holiday Listen. This is a time, man,

170
00:10:14,840 --> 00:10:17,480
Speaker 6: where we ask everybody just consider what you can do

171
00:10:17,559 --> 00:10:18,440
Speaker 6: for your fellow man.

172
00:10:18,960 --> 00:10:19,800
Speaker 2: That's all it is.

173
00:10:20,880 --> 00:10:23,200
Speaker 6: We've been over this over and over and over again.

174
00:10:23,600 --> 00:10:27,880
Speaker 6: We're in some trying times. You already know this. Everything

175
00:10:27,920 --> 00:10:32,160
Speaker 6: that doctor King lived for and aspired for. Is all

176
00:10:32,240 --> 00:10:35,800
Speaker 6: up to the test right now, because we live in

177
00:10:35,800 --> 00:10:38,640
Speaker 6: a time right now where there are people in authoritative

178
00:10:38,679 --> 00:10:42,200
Speaker 6: position who care nothing about the principles that he lived for,

179
00:10:42,960 --> 00:10:47,600
Speaker 6: who care nothing about the life of legacy that he led.

180
00:10:48,320 --> 00:10:51,800
Speaker 6: They care nothing about it. So we are in some

181
00:10:51,920 --> 00:10:55,040
Speaker 6: times where we have to maintain as a people that

182
00:10:55,160 --> 00:10:58,280
Speaker 6: we are going to uphold and do our share and

183
00:10:58,400 --> 00:11:03,200
Speaker 6: our honor, our commitment to each other. I am forever

184
00:11:03,280 --> 00:11:06,280
Speaker 6: committed to each other as a whole, as a people,

185
00:11:07,320 --> 00:11:10,720
Speaker 6: and that's that's what he stood for. And so today

186
00:11:10,760 --> 00:11:13,960
Speaker 6: we will celebrate that. We have some special things going

187
00:11:14,000 --> 00:11:17,839
Speaker 6: on today. Welcome to the Ride, the Steve Harvey Morning

188
00:11:17,880 --> 00:11:21,800
Speaker 6: Show on Email K Day, a national holiday. Now, if

189
00:11:21,800 --> 00:11:23,760
Speaker 6: they get a chance to reverse that, they gonna do

Speaker 6: have an EMAILK Day. And you ain't getting it back,

192
00:11:30,920 --> 00:11:35,760
Speaker 6: you ain't taking it back. I'm forever, forever free.

193
00:11:36,800 --> 00:11:37,000
Speaker 2: Yeah.

194
00:11:37,440 --> 00:11:40,840
Speaker 6: Charlie Strawberry Coline for Reil, Mississippi, Monica Junior and the

195
00:11:40,920 --> 00:11:43,440
Speaker 6: legend that is Nephew Tommy.

196
00:11:43,920 --> 00:11:45,600
Speaker 2: Folks, how y'all doing today?

197
00:11:47,240 --> 00:11:47,520
Speaker 5: Good?

198
00:11:47,559 --> 00:11:55,120
Speaker 1: Happy Mlkday, everybody very well. You know, made holiday what

199
00:11:55,200 --> 00:11:56,400
Speaker 1: are you thinking about, Steve.

200
00:11:56,920 --> 00:11:59,079
Speaker 2: It's a bit frustrating.

201
00:12:02,200 --> 00:12:04,560
Speaker 6: To watch the way the world is going right now,

202
00:12:05,520 --> 00:12:08,920
Speaker 6: to watch the policies that's being inacted and put in place,

203
00:12:09,520 --> 00:12:14,560
Speaker 6: and it's just discouraging. Because man, for a minute there

204
00:12:15,760 --> 00:12:19,480
Speaker 6: we were trying to move this thing along. But the

205
00:12:19,679 --> 00:12:25,640
Speaker 6: moment that slogan got created make America great again, it

206
00:12:25,679 --> 00:12:29,600
Speaker 6: has been in a dismal position over here every since,

207
00:12:31,200 --> 00:12:36,320
Speaker 6: every sense. And if you think it's better now, you

208
00:12:36,400 --> 00:12:39,599
Speaker 6: are sadly mistaken. And that is for everybody. It is

209
00:12:39,679 --> 00:12:43,199
Speaker 6: sadly mistaken. That's why I've always implored everybody get your

210
00:12:43,240 --> 00:12:47,440
Speaker 6: relationship with God together, because you're gonna need it. Because

211
00:12:47,559 --> 00:12:53,840
Speaker 6: as they try to take back all the gains Affirmative Action, DEI,

212
00:12:55,320 --> 00:12:58,960
Speaker 6: everything that they can do it remove black history from schools,

213
00:12:59,000 --> 00:13:04,920
Speaker 6: remove history books, take down building names, replace statues.

214
00:13:05,720 --> 00:13:08,960
Speaker 2: I mean, man, it is crazy.

215
00:13:09,400 --> 00:13:14,160
Speaker 6: And then it has made the hatred in this country

216
00:13:14,280 --> 00:13:18,400
Speaker 6: just raise and rear their ugly head. They feel powered now.

217
00:13:19,840 --> 00:13:22,200
Speaker 6: And so now you can climb on a letter, you

218
00:13:22,240 --> 00:13:26,040
Speaker 6: can climb the Capitol walls, you can break into the

219
00:13:26,080 --> 00:13:30,080
Speaker 6: greatest facility up there in Washington, DC, and then get free. Wow,

220
00:13:30,760 --> 00:13:31,959
Speaker 6: make America great again.

221
00:13:32,200 --> 00:13:34,720
Speaker 2: There you have it. They killing wife over now.

222
00:13:35,280 --> 00:13:38,960
Speaker 7: All right, yeah, coming up at thirty two minutes after

223
00:13:39,000 --> 00:13:41,400
Speaker 7: the hour, we're going to play some highlights from doctor

224
00:13:41,480 --> 00:13:43,040
Speaker 7: King's most famous speeches.

225
00:13:43,360 --> 00:13:44,080
Speaker 1: Right after this.

226
00:13:44,640 --> 00:13:50,400
Speaker 7: You're listening Steve Harvey Morning Show.

227
00:13:51,520 --> 00:13:53,679
Speaker 6: Right now, here's the drum major in stique speech on

228
00:13:53,800 --> 00:13:55,080
Speaker 6: the Steve Harvey Martin Show.

229
00:13:55,160 --> 00:13:56,040
Speaker 2: And instinct.

230
00:13:57,559 --> 00:14:01,680
Speaker 3: It's a kind of drum major instinct, a desire to

231
00:14:01,760 --> 00:14:05,880
Speaker 3: be out front, a desire to lead the parade, a

232
00:14:06,000 --> 00:14:12,160
Speaker 3: desire to be first. And it is something that runs

233
00:14:12,200 --> 00:14:20,360
Speaker 3: a whole gamut of life. And so before we condemn them,

234
00:14:21,600 --> 00:14:25,040
Speaker 3: let us see that we all have the drum mate instinct.

235
00:14:26,240 --> 00:14:28,320
Speaker 2: We all want to be.

236
00:14:28,320 --> 00:14:39,240
Speaker 3: Important, to surpass others, to achieve distinction, to lead the parade.

237
00:14:39,480 --> 00:14:46,160
Speaker 3: Alfred Adler the Great, a psychoanalyst, contends that this is

238
00:14:46,240 --> 00:14:51,640
Speaker 3: the dominant impulse. Sigmund Fraud used to contend that sex

239
00:14:51,840 --> 00:14:55,520
Speaker 3: was the dominant impulse, and Adler came with a new argument,

240
00:14:55,600 --> 00:15:00,680
Speaker 3: saying that this quest for recognition, this desire for attention,

241
00:15:02,400 --> 00:15:10,280
Speaker 3: this desire for distinction, is the basic impulse, the basic

242
00:15:10,440 --> 00:15:17,640
Speaker 3: drive of human human life, this drum major instinct. And

243
00:15:17,720 --> 00:15:20,480
Speaker 3: you know, we began earlier to ask life to put

244
00:15:20,600 --> 00:15:27,760
Speaker 3: us first. Our first cry as a baby was a

245
00:15:27,880 --> 00:15:33,880
Speaker 3: bid for attention, and all through childhood the drum major

246
00:15:34,760 --> 00:15:43,920
Speaker 3: impulse or instinct is a major obsession. Children ask life

247
00:15:44,280 --> 00:15:49,600
Speaker 3: to grant them first place. They are a little bundle

248
00:15:49,680 --> 00:16:01,160
Speaker 3: of ego. They have innately the drum major instinct. Now

249
00:16:01,200 --> 00:16:04,880
Speaker 3: in adult life we still have it, and we really

250
00:16:04,960 --> 00:16:10,080
Speaker 3: never get by it. We like to do something good,

251
00:16:11,480 --> 00:16:15,400
Speaker 3: and you know, we like to be praised for it. Now,

252
00:16:15,400 --> 00:16:19,360
Speaker 3: if you don't believe that, you just go on living

253
00:16:19,440 --> 00:16:22,640
Speaker 3: life and you will discover very soon that you like.

254
00:16:22,640 --> 00:16:23,680
Speaker 2: To be praised.

255
00:16:25,440 --> 00:16:30,479
Speaker 3: Everybody likes it as a matter of fact. And somehow

256
00:16:30,520 --> 00:16:34,200
Speaker 3: this warm glow we feel when we are praised or

257
00:16:34,280 --> 00:16:39,400
Speaker 3: when our name is in print is something of the

258
00:16:39,480 --> 00:16:46,840
Speaker 3: vitamin A to our ego. Nobody is unhappy when they

259
00:16:46,840 --> 00:16:50,200
Speaker 3: are praised, even if they know they don't deserve it,

260
00:16:50,360 --> 00:16:54,280
Speaker 3: and even if they don't believe it. The only unhappy

261
00:16:54,320 --> 00:16:57,720
Speaker 3: people about praise is when that praise is going too

262
00:16:57,840 --> 00:16:59,360
Speaker 3: much towards somebody else.

263
00:17:00,080 --> 00:17:03,040
Speaker 2: Right, But everybody likes to be.

264
00:17:03,120 --> 00:17:10,280
Speaker 3: Praised because of this real drum major instinct. Do you

265
00:17:10,440 --> 00:17:13,480
Speaker 3: know that a lot of the race problem grows out

266
00:17:14,160 --> 00:17:19,440
Speaker 3: of the drum major instinct, a need that some people have.

267
00:17:20,480 --> 00:17:24,560
Speaker 2: To feel superior, a.

268
00:17:24,560 --> 00:17:29,119
Speaker 3: Need that some people have to feel that they are first,

269
00:17:29,280 --> 00:17:34,000
Speaker 3: and to feel that their white skin ordain them to

270
00:17:34,080 --> 00:17:34,639
Speaker 3: be first.

271
00:17:35,359 --> 00:17:38,200
Speaker 2: Let's just plain the day, I'm against it.

272
00:17:38,359 --> 00:17:42,040
Speaker 3: And they have said over and over the game in

273
00:17:42,119 --> 00:17:47,160
Speaker 3: ways that we see with our own eyes. In fact,

274
00:17:47,240 --> 00:17:50,760
Speaker 3: not too long ago, a man down in Mississippi said

275
00:17:50,800 --> 00:17:55,600
Speaker 3: that God was a child a member of the white Citizens' Council.

276
00:18:00,160 --> 00:18:01,879
Speaker 2: And so God.

277
00:18:01,720 --> 00:18:05,120
Speaker 3: Being the child a member means that everybody who's in

278
00:18:05,160 --> 00:18:10,000
Speaker 3: that has a kind of divinity, a kind of superiority.

279
00:18:10,560 --> 00:18:13,040
Speaker 3: And think of what has happened in historism as a

280
00:18:13,080 --> 00:18:18,520
Speaker 3: result of this perverted use of the drum mage instinct

281
00:18:19,320 --> 00:18:23,000
Speaker 3: has led to the most tragic prejudice, the most tragic

282
00:18:23,320 --> 00:18:24,360
Speaker 3: expressions of.

283
00:18:24,359 --> 00:18:26,160
Speaker 2: Man's in humanity to man.

284
00:18:28,160 --> 00:18:31,760
Speaker 3: And not only does this thing go into the racial struggle,

285
00:18:32,840 --> 00:18:37,800
Speaker 3: it goes into the struggle between nations. And I would

286
00:18:37,800 --> 00:18:40,480
Speaker 3: submit to you this morning that what is wrong in

287
00:18:40,520 --> 00:18:42,480
Speaker 3: the world today is that the nations of the world

288
00:18:42,600 --> 00:18:48,840
Speaker 3: engaged in a bitter, colossal contest for supremacy. And if

289
00:18:48,920 --> 00:18:52,520
Speaker 3: some doesn't have them to stop this trend, I'm sorely

290
00:18:52,560 --> 00:18:57,240
Speaker 3: afraid that we won't be here to talk about Jesus

291
00:18:57,359 --> 00:19:01,520
Speaker 3: Christ and about God and about brotherhood too many more years.

292
00:19:03,960 --> 00:19:07,240
Speaker 2: If somebody doesn't bringing into this.

293
00:19:07,520 --> 00:19:13,000
Speaker 3: Suicidal thrust that we see in the world today, none

294
00:19:13,040 --> 00:19:16,679
Speaker 3: of us are gonna be around because somebody is gonna

295
00:19:16,680 --> 00:19:20,879
Speaker 3: make the mistake, through our senseless blunderings, of dropping a

296
00:19:20,960 --> 00:19:24,119
Speaker 3: nuclear bomb somewhere, and then another one is gonna drop.

297
00:19:24,359 --> 00:19:29,440
Speaker 3: And don't let anybody fool you. This can happen within

298
00:19:29,480 --> 00:19:32,960
Speaker 3: a matter of seconds. And they have twenty megatron bombs

299
00:19:33,000 --> 00:19:36,640
Speaker 3: in Russia right now that can destroy a city as

300
00:19:36,640 --> 00:19:39,760
Speaker 3: big as New York in three seconds, with everybody wiped

301
00:19:39,760 --> 00:19:41,120
Speaker 3: away in every building.

302
00:19:41,560 --> 00:19:44,040
Speaker 2: And we can do the same thing to Russian China.

303
00:19:44,080 --> 00:19:46,159
Speaker 3: But this is why we are drifted, and we are

304
00:19:46,280 --> 00:19:50,960
Speaker 3: drifting there because nations are caught up with the drum

305
00:19:51,160 --> 00:19:55,120
Speaker 3: major instinct. I must be first, I must be supreme

306
00:19:55,520 --> 00:19:57,560
Speaker 3: all A nation must rule the world.

307
00:19:58,520 --> 00:20:00,160
Speaker 2: And I am sad.

308
00:20:00,240 --> 00:20:03,439
Speaker 3: To say that the nation in which we live is

309
00:20:03,480 --> 00:20:07,760
Speaker 3: the supreme culprit. And I'm going to continue to say

310
00:20:07,800 --> 00:20:12,000
Speaker 3: it to America because I love this country too much

311
00:20:12,080 --> 00:20:13,359
Speaker 3: to see the drift.

312
00:20:13,160 --> 00:20:13,960
Speaker 2: That it has taken.

313
00:20:15,119 --> 00:20:18,520
Speaker 3: God didn't call America to do what she's doing in

314
00:20:18,560 --> 00:20:23,439
Speaker 3: the world. Now, God didn't call America to engage in

315
00:20:23,520 --> 00:20:28,840
Speaker 3: a senseless, unjust war as a war in Vietnam, and

316
00:20:28,880 --> 00:20:32,000
Speaker 3: we are criminals in that war. We've committed more war

317
00:20:32,080 --> 00:20:34,200
Speaker 3: crimes almost than any nation in the world.

318
00:20:34,240 --> 00:20:37,320
Speaker 2: And I'm going to continue to say it, and we won't.

319
00:20:37,080 --> 00:20:41,640
Speaker 3: Stop it because of our pride, and I recon sell

320
00:20:41,720 --> 00:20:44,840
Speaker 3: the nation. But God has a way of even putting

321
00:20:44,880 --> 00:20:45,960
Speaker 3: nations in that place.

322
00:20:46,800 --> 00:20:47,640
Speaker 2: The God that I.

323
00:20:47,720 --> 00:20:51,040
Speaker 3: Worship has a way of saying, don't play with me.

324
00:20:53,000 --> 00:20:54,520
Speaker 2: He has a way of saying.

325
00:20:55,640 --> 00:20:59,160
Speaker 3: There's a God of the Old Testament used to say

326
00:20:58,520 --> 00:21:00,360
Speaker 3: the Hebrew.

327
00:21:00,200 --> 00:21:00,840
Speaker 2: Don't play with me.

328
00:21:02,520 --> 00:21:08,600
Speaker 3: Don't play with Smith Babylon be stealing. Know that I'm God.

329
00:21:10,040 --> 00:21:13,040
Speaker 3: If you don't stuck your reckless cross our rise up

330
00:21:13,280 --> 00:21:19,840
Speaker 3: and break the backbone of your power. Nothing happened to America. Yeah,

331
00:21:20,359 --> 00:21:22,600
Speaker 3: every nine and then I go back and read Gibbon's

332
00:21:22,920 --> 00:21:25,000
Speaker 3: Decline and Fall of the Roman Empire.

333
00:21:25,760 --> 00:21:27,200
Speaker 2: When I come and look.

334
00:21:26,960 --> 00:21:31,160
Speaker 3: At America, I say to myself, the parallels are frightening.

335
00:21:31,240 --> 00:21:32,320
Speaker 2: We'll be right back, y'all.

336
00:21:32,480 --> 00:21:39,639
Speaker 1: You're listening to the Steve Harvey Morning Show, coming up.

337
00:21:39,640 --> 00:21:42,399
Speaker 7: At the top of the hour, we will interview Georgia

338
00:21:42,520 --> 00:21:46,920
Speaker 7: Senator Reverend Rafael Warnock on this King holiday. But right

339
00:21:46,960 --> 00:21:51,560
Speaker 7: now we continue with doctor King's speech about recognition and leadership,

340
00:21:51,800 --> 00:21:53,880
Speaker 7: the drum major instinct speech.

341
00:21:54,600 --> 00:21:59,360
Speaker 3: Nobody is unhappy when they are praised, even if they

342
00:21:59,400 --> 00:22:01,760
Speaker 3: know they don't deserve it, and even if they don't

343
00:22:01,760 --> 00:22:06,320
Speaker 3: believe it. The only unhappy people about praise is when

344
00:22:06,359 --> 00:22:11,440
Speaker 3: that praise is going too much towards somebody else. But

345
00:22:11,640 --> 00:22:16,040
Speaker 3: everybody likes to be praised because of this.

346
00:22:16,680 --> 00:22:19,320
Speaker 2: Real drum major instinct.

347
00:22:20,480 --> 00:22:23,200
Speaker 3: But you know that a lot of the race problem

348
00:22:23,359 --> 00:22:28,640
Speaker 3: grows out of the drum major instinct, a need that

349
00:22:28,720 --> 00:22:35,760
Speaker 3: some people have to feel superior, a need that some

350
00:22:35,880 --> 00:22:40,200
Speaker 3: people have to feel that they are first, and to

351
00:22:40,200 --> 00:22:46,360
Speaker 3: feel that their white skin ordain them to be first.

352
00:22:47,000 --> 00:22:49,320
Speaker 8: Day because I've against it.

353
00:22:48,960 --> 00:22:52,639
Speaker 3: And they have said over and over the game in

354
00:22:52,720 --> 00:22:57,800
Speaker 3: ways that we see with our own eyes. In fact,

355
00:22:57,880 --> 00:23:01,400
Speaker 3: not too long ago, a man down in Mississippi said

356
00:23:01,440 --> 00:23:06,240
Speaker 3: that God was a charter member of the White Citizens' Council,

357
00:23:10,800 --> 00:23:15,240
Speaker 3: and so God being the charter member means that everybody

358
00:23:15,280 --> 00:23:19,200
Speaker 3: who's in that has a kind of divinity, a kind

359
00:23:19,560 --> 00:23:23,200
Speaker 3: of superiority, and think of what has happened in historism

360
00:23:23,480 --> 00:23:28,439
Speaker 3: as a result of this perverted use of the drum

361
00:23:28,440 --> 00:23:33,320
Speaker 3: made instincts led to the most tragic prejudice, the most

362
00:23:33,359 --> 00:23:35,760
Speaker 3: tragic expressions.

363
00:23:34,960 --> 00:23:36,920
Speaker 2: Of man's in humanity to man.

364
00:23:40,080 --> 00:23:43,720
Speaker 3: And not only does this thing go into the racial struggle,

365
00:23:45,359 --> 00:23:50,359
Speaker 3: it goes into the struggle between nations. And I would

366
00:23:50,359 --> 00:23:53,040
Speaker 3: submit to you this morning that what is wrong in

367
00:23:53,080 --> 00:23:55,040
Speaker 3: the world today is that the nations of the world

368
00:23:55,160 --> 00:24:01,399
Speaker 3: engaged in a bitter, colossal contest for supremacy. And if

369
00:24:01,520 --> 00:24:05,120
Speaker 3: some doesn't have them to stop this trend, I'm sorely

370
00:24:05,160 --> 00:24:09,879
Speaker 3: afraid that we won't be here to talk about Jesus

371
00:24:10,000 --> 00:24:14,199
Speaker 3: Christ and about God and about brotherhood too many more years.

372
00:24:16,640 --> 00:24:22,200
Speaker 3: If somebody doesn't bring it in to this suicidal.

373
00:24:21,520 --> 00:24:23,200
Speaker 2: Thrust that we see in the world.

374
00:24:22,960 --> 00:24:27,800
Speaker 3: Today, none of us are going to be around because

375
00:24:27,880 --> 00:24:32,320
Speaker 3: somebody is gonna make the mistake, through our senseless blunderings,

376
00:24:32,600 --> 00:24:35,959
Speaker 3: of dropping a nuclear bomb somewhere, and then another one

377
00:24:36,080 --> 00:24:41,280
Speaker 3: is gonna drop. And don't let anybody fool you, this

378
00:24:41,359 --> 00:24:44,600
Speaker 3: can happen within a matter of seconds. They have twenty

379
00:24:44,640 --> 00:24:48,840
Speaker 3: megatron bombs in Russia right now that can destroy our

380
00:24:48,920 --> 00:24:51,359
Speaker 3: city as big as New York in three seconds, with

381
00:24:51,520 --> 00:24:55,040
Speaker 3: everybody wiped away in every building, and we can do

382
00:24:55,119 --> 00:24:57,680
Speaker 3: the same thing to Russian China. But this is why

383
00:24:57,720 --> 00:25:02,159
Speaker 3: we are drifted, and we are drifting that because nations

384
00:25:02,200 --> 00:25:04,919
Speaker 3: are caught up with the drum major instinct.

385
00:25:05,200 --> 00:25:08,680
Speaker 2: I must be first, I must be supreme all a

386
00:25:08,880 --> 00:25:10,439
Speaker 2: nation must rule the world.

387
00:25:11,400 --> 00:25:14,879
Speaker 3: And I am sad to say that the nation in

388
00:25:14,920 --> 00:25:19,600
Speaker 3: which we live is the supreme culprit. And I'm going

389
00:25:19,720 --> 00:25:23,480
Speaker 3: to continue to say it to America because I love

390
00:25:23,560 --> 00:25:26,240
Speaker 3: this country too much to see the drift that.

391
00:25:26,240 --> 00:25:26,879
Speaker 2: It has taken.

392
00:25:28,080 --> 00:25:31,480
Speaker 3: God didn't call America to do what she's doing in

393
00:25:31,520 --> 00:25:36,439
Speaker 3: the world now. God didn't call America to engage in

394
00:25:36,480 --> 00:25:40,439
Speaker 3: a senseless, unjust war as a war in Vietnam.

395
00:25:41,680 --> 00:25:43,359
Speaker 2: And we are criminals in that ward.

396
00:25:43,400 --> 00:25:46,800
Speaker 3: We've committed more war crimes almost than any nation in

397
00:25:46,840 --> 00:25:48,760
Speaker 3: the world. And I'm going to continue to say it,

398
00:25:49,359 --> 00:25:53,600
Speaker 3: and we won't stop it because of our pride, and

399
00:25:53,680 --> 00:25:57,240
Speaker 3: I recon sell the nation. But God has a way

400
00:25:57,280 --> 00:26:00,639
Speaker 3: of even putting nations in that place. God that I

401
00:26:00,760 --> 00:26:04,119
Speaker 3: worship has a way of saying, don't play with me.

402
00:26:07,080 --> 00:26:10,600
Speaker 3: He has a way of saying there's a god of

403
00:26:10,640 --> 00:26:14,760
Speaker 3: the Old Testament used to say the Hebrews, don't play

404
00:26:14,800 --> 00:26:20,680
Speaker 3: with me, Israel, don't play with me Babylon. Be steal

405
00:26:20,760 --> 00:26:25,159
Speaker 3: and know that I'm God. And if you don't stuck

406
00:26:25,200 --> 00:26:29,000
Speaker 3: your reckless course, I'll rise up and break the backbone

407
00:26:29,040 --> 00:26:35,080
Speaker 3: of your power. That can happen to America. Every nine

408
00:26:35,160 --> 00:26:38,160
Speaker 3: then I go back and read Gibbons Decline and fall

409
00:26:38,200 --> 00:26:39,240
Speaker 3: of the Roman Empire.

410
00:26:39,840 --> 00:26:41,400
Speaker 2: And when I come and look.

411
00:26:41,240 --> 00:26:45,440
Speaker 3: At America, I say to myself, the parallels are frightening.

412
00:26:47,040 --> 00:26:51,520
Speaker 3: We have perverted the drum maid's instinct.

413
00:26:53,359 --> 00:26:54,400
Speaker 2: Every nine then I.

414
00:26:54,280 --> 00:26:59,960
Speaker 3: Guess we all think realistically, yes, about that day when

415
00:27:00,119 --> 00:27:05,840
Speaker 3: we will be victimized with what is life's final common denominator.

416
00:27:06,760 --> 00:27:13,879
Speaker 3: That's something we call death. We all think about it.

417
00:27:13,920 --> 00:27:17,480
Speaker 3: And every nine and then I think about my own death,

418
00:27:17,520 --> 00:27:20,480
Speaker 3: and I think about my own funeral, and I don't

419
00:27:20,480 --> 00:27:24,760
Speaker 3: think of it in a morbid sense. Every nine then

420
00:27:24,840 --> 00:27:29,080
Speaker 3: I asked myself what is it that I would want say?

421
00:27:30,080 --> 00:27:34,160
Speaker 2: And I leave the word to you this morning, if

422
00:27:34,200 --> 00:27:38,280
Speaker 2: any of you around when I have to meet my day,

423
00:27:38,480 --> 00:27:39,920
Speaker 2: I don't want a long funeral.

424
00:27:42,200 --> 00:27:45,080
Speaker 3: And if it gets somebody to deliver the eulogy. Tell

425
00:27:45,119 --> 00:27:46,280
Speaker 3: them not to talk too long.

426
00:27:47,880 --> 00:27:50,080
Speaker 2: And every nine and then I wonder what I want

427
00:27:50,119 --> 00:27:50,600
Speaker 2: them to say.

428
00:27:50,680 --> 00:27:53,240
Speaker 3: Tell them not the mintion that I have a nobel

429
00:27:53,359 --> 00:27:54,080
Speaker 3: peace pride.

430
00:27:54,080 --> 00:27:58,120
Speaker 2: That isn't important. Tell them not to mention that I

431
00:27:58,200 --> 00:27:59,960
Speaker 2: have three or four hundred of our world.

432
00:28:00,560 --> 00:28:02,879
Speaker 3: That's not important. Tell him not to mention where I

433
00:28:02,920 --> 00:28:07,760
Speaker 3: went to school. I like somebody to mention that day,

434
00:28:08,600 --> 00:28:12,720
Speaker 3: then Martin Luther King Junior tried to give his life

435
00:28:12,800 --> 00:28:17,399
Speaker 3: serving others. I'd like for somebody to say that day

436
00:28:17,680 --> 00:28:22,119
Speaker 3: that Martin Luther King Junior tried to love somebody. I

437
00:28:22,160 --> 00:28:24,520
Speaker 3: want you to say that day that I tried to

438
00:28:24,560 --> 00:28:28,119
Speaker 3: be right on the walk question. I want you to

439
00:28:28,160 --> 00:28:31,720
Speaker 3: be able to say that day that I did try

440
00:28:32,080 --> 00:28:35,200
Speaker 3: to feed the hungrad I want you to be able

441
00:28:35,240 --> 00:28:38,320
Speaker 3: to say that day that I did try in my

442
00:28:38,520 --> 00:28:41,080
Speaker 3: life to close those who were neked.

443
00:28:41,560 --> 00:28:43,360
Speaker 2: I want you to say on that day that.

444
00:28:43,400 --> 00:28:46,760
Speaker 3: I did try in my life to visit thors who

445
00:28:46,760 --> 00:28:50,840
Speaker 3: were imprisoned. I want you to say that I.

446
00:28:50,320 --> 00:28:53,760
Speaker 2: Tried to love and serve humanity.

447
00:28:54,640 --> 00:28:56,640
Speaker 3: Yes, if you want to say that I was a

448
00:28:56,760 --> 00:29:00,840
Speaker 3: drum major, say that I was a drum major for justice.

449
00:29:01,480 --> 00:29:04,600
Speaker 3: Say that I was a drum major for peace. I

450
00:29:04,720 --> 00:29:07,920
Speaker 3: was a drum major for righteousness. And all of the

451
00:29:07,960 --> 00:29:12,400
Speaker 3: other shallow things will not matter. I won't have any

452
00:29:12,520 --> 00:29:17,400
Speaker 3: money to leave behind, I won't have the fine and

453
00:29:17,600 --> 00:29:20,720
Speaker 3: luxurious things of life to leave behind. But I just

454
00:29:20,880 --> 00:29:24,720
Speaker 3: want to leave or committed life behind, and.

455
00:29:24,600 --> 00:29:27,000
Speaker 2: That's all I want to say. If I can help

456
00:29:27,160 --> 00:29:29,120
Speaker 2: somebody as.

457
00:29:28,960 --> 00:29:33,000
Speaker 3: I pass along, if I can cheer somebody with a

458
00:29:33,120 --> 00:29:37,240
Speaker 3: wilder song, if I can show somebody he's traveling wrong,

459
00:29:37,920 --> 00:29:42,440
Speaker 3: then my living will not be invained. If I can

460
00:29:42,480 --> 00:29:45,240
Speaker 3: do my duty as a Christian art, if I can

461
00:29:45,280 --> 00:29:49,720
Speaker 3: bring salvation to a wall once wrought, if I can

462
00:29:49,800 --> 00:29:54,080
Speaker 3: spread the message as the Master taught, then my.

463
00:29:54,200 --> 00:29:57,000
Speaker 2: Living will not be in vained.

464
00:29:57,880 --> 00:30:00,160
Speaker 3: Yes, Jesus, I want to be on your right, your

465
00:30:00,240 --> 00:30:04,840
Speaker 3: left side, not for any selfish reason. I want to

466
00:30:04,880 --> 00:30:08,200
Speaker 3: be on your right, on your left side, not in

467
00:30:08,360 --> 00:30:12,440
Speaker 3: times of some political kingdom or ambition, And I just

468
00:30:12,520 --> 00:30:16,040
Speaker 3: want to be there in love and injustice.

469
00:30:17,880 --> 00:30:20,600
Speaker 6: Attention to Steve Harvey Nation. On this king Holiday, I

00:30:35,000 --> 00:30:38,440
Speaker 6: Doctor Martin Luther King Junior once said that life's most

475
00:30:38,480 --> 00:30:42,600
Speaker 6: persistent and urgent question is what are you doing for others?

476
00:30:43,200 --> 00:30:47,600
Speaker 6: Come together, everybody and serve your communities. How he's influenced

477
00:30:47,600 --> 00:30:50,040
Speaker 6: me is big. He's a reason I'm here. He's a

478
00:30:50,080 --> 00:30:52,880
Speaker 6: reason why the elections stuff is going on today is

479
00:30:53,240 --> 00:30:55,200
Speaker 6: the way it is. You know, this man, you know,

480
00:30:55,280 --> 00:30:57,600
Speaker 6: gave his life for what he believed in. So he

481
00:30:57,800 --> 00:30:59,920
Speaker 6: meant the world to me, you know. And yes, I

482
00:31:00,280 --> 00:31:04,760
Speaker 6: named after Martin. Everybody else promised we got a special

483
00:31:04,800 --> 00:31:08,320
Speaker 6: guest this morning. He's a family member, though he's a

484
00:31:08,360 --> 00:31:10,960
Speaker 6: family member right around the corner from us, most of

485
00:31:11,040 --> 00:31:15,600
Speaker 6: us that live in this vicinity. He's a United States Senator.

486
00:31:16,680 --> 00:31:21,760
Speaker 6: He's also Georgia's first black senator. He's also served as

487
00:31:21,760 --> 00:31:24,880
Speaker 6: the senior pastor at the Ebenezia Baptist Church in Atlanta

488
00:31:25,320 --> 00:31:26,640
Speaker 6: since two thousand and five.

489
00:31:27,200 --> 00:31:29,200
Speaker 2: And this is the very church.

490
00:31:29,200 --> 00:31:34,280
Speaker 6: That doctor Martin Luther King passed during the Civil rights movement.

491
00:31:34,640 --> 00:31:37,320
Speaker 6: So it's only fitting that he joins us to highlight

492
00:31:37,400 --> 00:31:38,560
Speaker 6: doctor King's legacy.

493
00:31:38,560 --> 00:31:39,400
Speaker 2: So let's get to it.

494
00:31:39,560 --> 00:31:42,400
Speaker 6: Please, welcome to the show the Honorable Reverend doctor Senator

495
00:31:42,480 --> 00:31:43,600
Speaker 6: Raphael Warnut.

496
00:31:44,320 --> 00:31:46,120
Speaker 1: Yeah, welcome back.

497
00:31:46,640 --> 00:31:49,040
Speaker 8: Hello, so great to be with you.

498
00:31:50,560 --> 00:31:50,760
Speaker 5: Man.

499
00:31:50,760 --> 00:31:53,200
Speaker 2: How you feeling man, Happy King day?

500
00:31:53,800 --> 00:31:58,360
Speaker 8: You know, I'm feeling good. I'm feeling inspired and encouraged.

501
00:31:58,520 --> 00:32:01,280
Speaker 8: And and here's why that they found strange at a

502
00:32:01,320 --> 00:32:04,440
Speaker 8: time like this, But you know, every time we come

503
00:32:04,520 --> 00:32:09,280
Speaker 8: around to this time of year celebrating doctor Martin Uther King, Jr.

504
00:32:10,280 --> 00:32:14,080
Speaker 8: I'm reminded not only of his work, but of the

505
00:32:14,440 --> 00:32:19,400
Speaker 8: improbable odds that he could succeed. You know, I think

506
00:32:19,440 --> 00:32:23,040
Speaker 8: we look back at the civil rights movement and we

507
00:32:23,080 --> 00:32:27,240
Speaker 8: act as if those victories were inevitable. They were quite improbable,

508
00:32:27,280 --> 00:32:31,520
Speaker 8: they were unlikely. And yet he and the band, the

509
00:32:31,520 --> 00:32:35,400
Speaker 8: folks who stood with him, set out in their words

510
00:32:35,440 --> 00:32:39,280
Speaker 8: to redeem the soul of America, and all of us

511
00:32:39,320 --> 00:32:42,760
Speaker 8: are the blessed beneficiaries of the efforts of them keeping

512
00:32:42,760 --> 00:32:44,680
Speaker 8: the faith. And I think that's so important in the

513
00:32:44,680 --> 00:32:48,120
Speaker 8: moment like this, when it's so dark and we are

514
00:32:48,920 --> 00:32:52,760
Speaker 8: tempted to give in and to give up. Who are

515
00:32:52,760 --> 00:32:55,680
Speaker 8: we to give up? Doctor King and others stood up

516
00:32:55,720 --> 00:32:58,320
Speaker 8: and we're called, this is our moment, this is our time.

517
00:33:00,120 --> 00:33:03,280
Speaker 6: Yeah, you know, let's kind of stay right there too, Senator,

518
00:33:03,280 --> 00:33:08,160
Speaker 6: because you know, let's talk about the current state that

519
00:33:08,200 --> 00:33:10,880
Speaker 6: we are in here in this country, especially under this

520
00:33:10,960 --> 00:33:15,800
Speaker 6: current leadership and administration, it's been focusing on erasing the

521
00:33:15,840 --> 00:33:20,360
Speaker 6: civil rights movement from history books. What message do you

522
00:33:20,520 --> 00:33:24,560
Speaker 6: have for the younger generation, especially for men, to kind

523
00:33:24,560 --> 00:33:25,640
Speaker 6: of keep them encouraged.

524
00:33:27,480 --> 00:33:29,840
Speaker 8: Now, there's no question there's an all out of sault

525
00:33:31,160 --> 00:33:36,400
Speaker 8: on our humanity. And you know what I would say

526
00:33:36,440 --> 00:33:38,800
Speaker 8: to young men who are listening to me right now,

527
00:33:38,840 --> 00:33:43,120
Speaker 8: and what I would say to people of color, is

528
00:33:43,160 --> 00:33:48,080
Speaker 8: that obviously your adversary see your power. If you don't

529
00:33:48,120 --> 00:33:51,200
Speaker 8: know that you're powerful, your adversaries certainly know it. If

530
00:33:51,240 --> 00:33:55,280
Speaker 8: you don't know that your vote matters, clearly they know

531
00:33:55,440 --> 00:33:59,360
Speaker 8: that it counts and that it matters. Otherwise they wouldn't

532
00:33:59,400 --> 00:34:01,719
Speaker 8: be working so hard to rob you of your power,

533
00:34:01,800 --> 00:34:04,160
Speaker 8: to rob you of your vote, to rob you of

534
00:34:04,160 --> 00:34:06,240
Speaker 8: your voice. And I can tell you, as someone who

535
00:34:06,320 --> 00:34:10,200
Speaker 8: ran for the United States sinning and won a couple

536
00:34:10,200 --> 00:34:14,879
Speaker 8: of times, that I've seen this firsthand. You know, as

537
00:34:14,960 --> 00:34:18,120
Speaker 8: I won the first time, they came after my victory

538
00:34:18,160 --> 00:34:21,759
Speaker 8: with surgical precision, with all kinds of tricks to try

539
00:34:21,800 --> 00:34:23,880
Speaker 8: to make it difficult for us to win. We literally

540
00:34:23,920 --> 00:34:26,960
Speaker 8: had to take them to court so that people could

541
00:34:27,040 --> 00:34:29,399
Speaker 8: vote the first weekend of the runoff, because they saw

542
00:34:29,560 --> 00:34:34,480
Speaker 8: this multi racial coalition of conscience standing up at a

543
00:34:34,600 --> 00:34:36,920
Speaker 8: moment in our country saying we're going to do this,

544
00:34:37,840 --> 00:34:41,319
Speaker 8: and we won. And I won in some ways, I

545
00:34:41,440 --> 00:34:44,680
Speaker 8: wasn't really by the margin of our victory in court.

546
00:34:45,400 --> 00:34:48,080
Speaker 2: And so in this moment.

547
00:34:47,920 --> 00:34:51,319
Speaker 8: Know that you have power, you have possibility, you have

548
00:34:51,440 --> 00:34:54,520
Speaker 8: a voice. Often say that a vote is a kind

549
00:34:54,560 --> 00:34:57,960
Speaker 8: of prayer for the world that we desire for ourselves

550
00:34:58,000 --> 00:35:00,680
Speaker 8: and for our children, and we have to pray with

551
00:35:00,680 --> 00:35:03,320
Speaker 8: our lips and our legs, our hands, and our feet.

552
00:35:03,960 --> 00:35:06,920
Speaker 8: Refuse to give in to those who're trying to weaponize

553
00:35:07,080 --> 00:35:11,719
Speaker 8: despair the civil rights movement, Doctor King, but not only him,

554
00:35:12,200 --> 00:35:16,359
Speaker 8: people like Fanny lou Hamer and Ella Baker, some of

555
00:35:16,920 --> 00:35:19,359
Speaker 8: the young people and the women who stood up with him.

556
00:35:19,960 --> 00:35:22,759
Speaker 8: Reminded us that it's really not about the people in power.

557
00:35:22,760 --> 00:35:26,080
Speaker 8: Its about the power that's in the people. And in

558
00:35:26,120 --> 00:35:29,880
Speaker 8: this moment when fifteen million Americans have lost their healthcare,

559
00:35:31,239 --> 00:35:34,399
Speaker 8: in this moment when they're literally trying to erase, as

560
00:35:34,440 --> 00:35:38,800
Speaker 8: you said, Steve, our history in this moment in which

561
00:35:39,040 --> 00:35:44,360
Speaker 8: they are putting boots on the ground in our cities,

562
00:35:44,880 --> 00:35:50,680
Speaker 8: militarizing our streets, trying to convince us that our adversaries

563
00:35:50,719 --> 00:35:54,720
Speaker 8: are our neighbors, that we are at war with one another.

564
00:35:55,600 --> 00:35:57,640
Speaker 8: We have to stand up in this moment. And as

565
00:35:57,680 --> 00:36:00,360
Speaker 8: doctor King said, the ark of the moral universe is long,

566
00:36:01,280 --> 00:36:04,600
Speaker 8: but it bends towards justice. And I pray that in

567
00:36:04,680 --> 00:36:07,080
Speaker 8: this day and in this moment, we'll be inspired to

568
00:36:07,120 --> 00:36:08,000
Speaker 8: keep been in that art.

569
00:36:08,560 --> 00:36:12,680
Speaker 6: Hey, a doctor Warner, can you hold on? Sorry, Senator Warner,

570
00:36:12,840 --> 00:36:15,080
Speaker 6: can you hold on one second. We're going to take

571
00:36:15,080 --> 00:36:16,520
Speaker 6: a break, and we're going to keep you a little

572
00:36:16,560 --> 00:36:18,200
Speaker 6: bit longer because we want to hear more of this.

573
00:36:18,239 --> 00:36:20,840
Speaker 6: We'll be right back with more of the Steve Harvey

574
00:36:20,840 --> 00:36:21,439
Speaker 6: Morning Show.

575
00:36:23,040 --> 00:36:27,120
Speaker 7: It took America two hundred and seven years to create

576
00:36:27,120 --> 00:36:30,160
Speaker 7: a holiday. I didn't know that either, honoring a person

577
00:36:30,200 --> 00:36:33,160
Speaker 7: of African descent, and even that was a bitter struggle.

578
00:36:33,400 --> 00:36:37,200
Speaker 7: You remember, back on November two, nineteen eighty three, President

579
00:36:37,320 --> 00:36:41,799
Speaker 7: Ronald Reagan signed a bill creating a federal holiday. And

580
00:36:42,080 --> 00:36:44,000
Speaker 7: coming up, we are going to play some of doctor

581
00:36:44,080 --> 00:36:46,720
Speaker 7: King's I Have a Dream speech in which he called

582
00:36:46,719 --> 00:36:48,399
Speaker 7: for racial equality.

583
00:36:48,200 --> 00:36:49,680
Speaker 1: And an end to discrimination.

584
00:36:49,880 --> 00:36:50,520
Speaker 2: That's my speech.

585
00:36:50,880 --> 00:36:51,960
Speaker 1: Yes, yes, yes.

586
00:36:52,360 --> 00:36:55,080
Speaker 7: King's delivery of the speech on August twenty eighth, nineteen

587
00:36:55,160 --> 00:36:58,200
Speaker 7: sixty three, from the steps of the Lincoln Memorial during

588
00:36:58,200 --> 00:37:01,120
Speaker 7: the March on Washington for Jobs and Freedom was a

589
00:37:01,160 --> 00:37:04,840
Speaker 7: defining moment of the American civil rights moment. Delivered to

590
00:37:04,920 --> 00:37:08,400
Speaker 7: over two hundred thousand civil rights supporters, the speech is

591
00:37:08,440 --> 00:37:11,600
Speaker 7: often considered to be one of the greatest and most

592
00:37:11,680 --> 00:37:13,160
Speaker 7: notable speeches.

593
00:37:13,000 --> 00:37:14,440
Speaker 1: In human history.

594
00:37:14,520 --> 00:37:16,080
Speaker 2: Oh, no doubt, it was a great sho Yes.

595
00:37:16,239 --> 00:37:20,240
Speaker 1: Yes, yes, yeah. You're listening to Steve Harvey Morning Show.

596
00:37:24,560 --> 00:37:28,240
Speaker 6: A right, everybody, we're back and special guest this morning

597
00:37:28,360 --> 00:37:33,600
Speaker 6: is a Senator, doctor, doctor Senator Raphael Warnock, who is

598
00:37:33,800 --> 00:37:36,680
Speaker 6: the pastor the Ebenezer Baptist Church, the same church that

599
00:37:36,800 --> 00:37:42,439
Speaker 6: was pasted by the legendary honorable Doctor King, Martin Luther King,

600
00:37:42,520 --> 00:37:46,240
Speaker 6: and he's with us today and we're talking about several

601
00:37:46,320 --> 00:37:49,839
Speaker 6: things here. You know, man, when you talk about when

602
00:37:49,840 --> 00:37:53,000
Speaker 6: you were talking about the crisis here in the country,

603
00:37:53,000 --> 00:37:55,480
Speaker 6: about how hard of a cahart it is with the

604
00:37:55,560 --> 00:37:58,480
Speaker 6: cost of living and all of these things like this,

605
00:37:58,680 --> 00:38:02,919
Speaker 6: and you said we were in a spiritual crisis tell

606
00:38:02,960 --> 00:38:03,960
Speaker 6: me what you meant by that.

607
00:38:04,600 --> 00:38:07,759
Speaker 8: Well, look, the fact of the matter is all of

608
00:38:07,800 --> 00:38:13,360
Speaker 8: this did not happen all at once. Over the last

609
00:38:13,440 --> 00:38:18,640
Speaker 8: few decades, we have seen a massive transfer of wealth

610
00:38:19,200 --> 00:38:22,280
Speaker 8: from the bottom to the top. By the way, last summer,

611
00:38:22,320 --> 00:38:24,879
Speaker 8: we did see with the passage of the what they

612
00:38:25,120 --> 00:38:29,920
Speaker 8: allegedly called the One Big, Beautiful Bill, the largest transfer

613
00:38:29,960 --> 00:38:33,440
Speaker 8: of wealth from the bottom to the top in American history,

614
00:38:34,320 --> 00:38:36,439
Speaker 8: and just that one bill. But this has been going

615
00:38:36,480 --> 00:38:42,600
Speaker 8: on for a long time, and Americans have seen a

616
00:38:42,719 --> 00:38:45,360
Speaker 8: growing chasm, not only in terms of wealth, but a

617
00:38:45,400 --> 00:38:49,440
Speaker 8: growing chasm between the things that they need, like healthcare,

618
00:38:50,200 --> 00:38:54,960
Speaker 8: a livable wage, affordable housing. In a country where now,

619
00:38:55,400 --> 00:38:58,919
Speaker 8: on average, the age of a first time homeowner now

620
00:38:59,280 --> 00:39:03,080
Speaker 8: has gone up to age forty, Americans have sat back

621
00:39:03,120 --> 00:39:07,160
Speaker 8: and watched us witness horror after horror of mass shooting

622
00:39:07,200 --> 00:39:10,240
Speaker 8: after mass shooting, and yet we can't get the kind

623
00:39:10,480 --> 00:39:13,840
Speaker 8: of legislation that we need through the Congress. And so

624
00:39:14,640 --> 00:39:18,919
Speaker 8: as people see this happen, there's growing chasm between their

625
00:39:19,040 --> 00:39:22,840
Speaker 8: needs and what the government is able to deliver to

626
00:39:22,920 --> 00:39:26,920
Speaker 8: its people. At a democracy, the cynicism sets in and

627
00:39:27,000 --> 00:39:31,440
Speaker 8: people become very frustrated and angry, and rather than looking

628
00:39:31,480 --> 00:39:34,799
Speaker 8: towards one another, they start to turn on each other.

629
00:39:35,360 --> 00:39:38,799
Speaker 8: And I think that that really creates the ground and

630
00:39:38,840 --> 00:39:42,560
Speaker 8: sets the context for a strong man like Donald Trump

631
00:39:42,560 --> 00:39:45,719
Speaker 8: who comes along and says, you know, I'm I'm the

632
00:39:45,719 --> 00:39:49,799
Speaker 8: only one who can solve your problem. And sadly many

633
00:39:49,880 --> 00:39:53,680
Speaker 8: of our citizens heard that message. But that ain't that

634
00:39:53,840 --> 00:39:57,120
Speaker 8: they feel is real. It's the solution that was wrong,

635
00:39:57,800 --> 00:40:00,960
Speaker 8: and the strong men like him step into the gap,

636
00:40:01,000 --> 00:40:02,920
Speaker 8: and they further divide us. And so that's what I

637
00:40:03,000 --> 00:40:08,320
Speaker 8: mean by the spiritual crisis. I believe that spiritual needs

638
00:40:08,680 --> 00:40:13,719
Speaker 8: and meeting people's physical needs are inextricably connected, and when

639
00:40:13,719 --> 00:40:18,200
Speaker 8: those things can't happen, it represents a basic tear in

640
00:40:18,280 --> 00:40:21,200
Speaker 8: the covenant and the fabric of the covenant that we

641
00:40:21,280 --> 00:40:23,799
Speaker 8: have of one another as an American people. And so

642
00:40:23,840 --> 00:40:27,080
Speaker 8: as a pastor who serves in the Senate, as the

643
00:40:27,160 --> 00:40:32,000
Speaker 8: leader of Doctor King's Ebenezer Baptist Church, who serves in

644
00:40:32,080 --> 00:40:36,719
Speaker 8: government every single day preaching them about Jesus feeding the

645
00:40:36,760 --> 00:40:39,920
Speaker 8: five thousand, and then trying to deliver that through public policy.

646
00:40:40,719 --> 00:40:43,080
Speaker 8: When I go up to Washington during the week, I'm

647
00:40:43,120 --> 00:40:46,080
Speaker 8: calling us to renew the commitment that we have to

648
00:40:46,160 --> 00:40:51,360
Speaker 8: one another as an American people, the whole, powerful politicians

649
00:40:52,040 --> 00:40:58,439
Speaker 8: and the corporate lobbyists and big corporate entities that own them,

650
00:40:58,840 --> 00:41:02,120
Speaker 8: to hold them accountable. Certainly, we're looking towards the midterm,

651
00:41:02,160 --> 00:41:04,360
Speaker 8: but we can't wait until the midterm. We have to

652
00:41:04,360 --> 00:41:06,280
Speaker 8: continue to fight the good fight in this moment.

653
00:41:07,560 --> 00:41:12,480
Speaker 6: Yeah. Hey, hold on, doctor Warner, Senator Warner. Oh, we'll

654
00:41:12,520 --> 00:41:14,920
Speaker 6: be right back. We got more with the Steve Harvey

655
00:41:14,960 --> 00:41:16,120
Speaker 6: Morning Show right after this.

656
00:41:18,280 --> 00:41:19,440
Speaker 1: Harvey Morning Show.

657
00:41:23,920 --> 00:41:26,480
Speaker 6: And everybody, We're back on the Steve Harvey Morning Show.

658
00:41:26,480 --> 00:41:29,320
Speaker 6: And our very very special guest this morning is Reverend

659
00:41:29,400 --> 00:41:32,480
Speaker 6: doctor Raphael Warnock, Senator from Georgia.

660
00:41:32,680 --> 00:41:35,239
Speaker 2: I like all mine. If I get to be any

661
00:41:35,280 --> 00:41:35,440
Speaker 2: of it.

662
00:41:35,480 --> 00:41:37,320
Speaker 8: I don't care what you call. Just call me a

663
00:41:37,400 --> 00:41:38,120
Speaker 8: time for lunch.

664
00:41:39,080 --> 00:41:43,560
Speaker 6: Yeah, Senator, here's here's a pressing thing that comes through

665
00:41:43,920 --> 00:41:47,160
Speaker 6: our phone lines and emails bag all the time. We

666
00:41:47,280 --> 00:41:52,280
Speaker 6: know who the president is. I mean, we're stunned at

667
00:41:52,480 --> 00:41:56,359
Speaker 6: what he's allowed to say, what he's allowed to do,

668
00:41:56,800 --> 00:41:59,880
Speaker 6: and how he goes about doing it. And we watched

669
00:41:59,880 --> 00:42:04,680
Speaker 6: the Republican Party. This man has taken over a party

670
00:42:05,000 --> 00:42:10,560
Speaker 6: to the point where whatever he says, goals, what are

671
00:42:10,640 --> 00:42:13,920
Speaker 6: we doing or what can we do about this? Because

672
00:42:13,920 --> 00:42:16,200
Speaker 6: it just seems like he just got free hand.

673
00:42:16,719 --> 00:42:20,319
Speaker 8: Part of what we've got to do is we've got

674
00:42:20,320 --> 00:42:22,600
Speaker 8: to we've got to flip the House and we've got

675
00:42:22,600 --> 00:42:25,000
Speaker 8: to flip the Senate. We can do that in twenty

676
00:42:25,120 --> 00:42:29,520
Speaker 8: twenty six, and that will put some checks on this president.

677
00:42:29,840 --> 00:42:32,840
Speaker 8: The challenge we have right now is that they have

678
00:42:32,920 --> 00:42:36,280
Speaker 8: a trifector. They've got the White House, they got the House,

679
00:42:36,320 --> 00:42:38,640
Speaker 8: and they've got the Senate. So you take the House,

680
00:42:38,680 --> 00:42:41,040
Speaker 8: for example, if we had the majority in the House,

681
00:42:41,080 --> 00:42:45,160
Speaker 8: we'd have subpoena power. We'd be able to call folks

682
00:42:45,239 --> 00:42:47,360
Speaker 8: to account, We'd be able to hold them accountable in

683
00:42:47,400 --> 00:42:50,040
Speaker 8: a different way. Now, we still do have some of

684
00:42:50,040 --> 00:42:53,240
Speaker 8: that power because I sit on committees in the Senate

685
00:42:53,440 --> 00:42:56,680
Speaker 8: where the various secretaries of this administration have to come

686
00:42:56,880 --> 00:43:00,200
Speaker 8: in front of us. And if you go back, you

687
00:43:00,239 --> 00:43:03,000
Speaker 8: know a few months ago, I was one of the

688
00:43:03,000 --> 00:43:06,600
Speaker 8: first members of Congress to call for Secretary of Pete

689
00:43:06,600 --> 00:43:10,080
Speaker 8: Hexcess dismissal. I said that the President ought to fire him,

690
00:43:10,080 --> 00:43:12,200
Speaker 8: and if he didn't fire him, he needed to resign.

691
00:43:12,520 --> 00:43:14,880
Speaker 8: And so, as a member of the Senate. As a

692
00:43:14,920 --> 00:43:17,960
Speaker 8: member of Congress, we have the power of oversight to

693
00:43:18,040 --> 00:43:22,120
Speaker 8: hold people accountable, but they do have the majority, and

694
00:43:22,160 --> 00:43:26,319
Speaker 8: so what we've seen is these Republicans literally just give

695
00:43:26,400 --> 00:43:31,120
Speaker 8: all their power over to the President. And the answer

696
00:43:31,200 --> 00:43:33,879
Speaker 8: to that is for us to make sure we show

697
00:43:34,000 --> 00:43:37,680
Speaker 8: up and show up big in the midterms. Flip the House,

698
00:43:37,719 --> 00:43:40,960
Speaker 8: flip the Senate. We can check him and hold him

699
00:43:40,960 --> 00:43:44,440
Speaker 8: to account, and then come twenty twenty eight, we can

700
00:43:44,520 --> 00:43:47,400
Speaker 8: then win the White House. And if we win the

701
00:43:47,400 --> 00:43:49,440
Speaker 8: White House, We've got a whole range of things that

702
00:43:49,480 --> 00:43:52,600
Speaker 8: I think we ought to be doing around healthcare, around

703
00:43:52,640 --> 00:43:57,800
Speaker 8: affordable housing, and most importantly, around repairing our democracy because

704
00:43:58,160 --> 00:44:02,960
Speaker 8: increasingly we've seen the people's voice squeeze out of their democracy.

705
00:44:03,000 --> 00:44:06,879
Speaker 8: And again, because this is King Day, I'm always inspired

706
00:44:07,040 --> 00:44:10,120
Speaker 8: by that movement and by what it represented. Right after

707
00:44:10,160 --> 00:44:13,680
Speaker 8: they passed the Civil Rights Bill into law, doctor King

708
00:44:13,719 --> 00:44:15,759
Speaker 8: and those who were working with him went to see

709
00:44:15,800 --> 00:44:18,759
Speaker 8: President Johnson, who was the president at the time and

710
00:44:19,120 --> 00:44:22,480
Speaker 8: something of an ally in the White House, and Doctor

711
00:44:22,560 --> 00:44:25,360
Speaker 8: King said, you know, I'm glad you were able to

712
00:44:25,360 --> 00:44:27,480
Speaker 8: help us and we got the civil Rights Bill passed

713
00:44:27,480 --> 00:44:29,560
Speaker 8: and the law. He said, I need a voting rights law.

714
00:44:30,120 --> 00:44:32,520
Speaker 8: Doctor King wasted no time. He said, I need voting rights,

715
00:44:32,960 --> 00:44:36,440
Speaker 8: and the President began to say in various ways, Doctor King,

716
00:44:36,440 --> 00:44:39,160
Speaker 8: you're right, I understand, but I can't get that done

717
00:44:39,239 --> 00:44:41,719
Speaker 8: right now. The President of the United States kept saying

718
00:44:41,840 --> 00:44:44,839
Speaker 8: various ways, I don't have the power. I just don't

719
00:44:44,880 --> 00:44:47,360
Speaker 8: have the power Martin to do that right now. And

720
00:44:47,400 --> 00:44:50,000
Speaker 8: they left the meeting, and the staff was sealing, all

721
00:44:50,080 --> 00:44:52,520
Speaker 8: dejected and demoralized and said, Doc, what are we going

722
00:44:52,600 --> 00:44:54,480
Speaker 8: to do. The President of the United States said he

723
00:44:54,520 --> 00:44:57,920
Speaker 8: doesn't have the power to get us some voting rights,

724
00:44:57,800 --> 00:44:59,920
Speaker 8: and doctor King said, well, if the President doesn't have

725
00:45:00,040 --> 00:45:02,040
Speaker 8: any power, we're going to have to go back down

726
00:45:02,080 --> 00:45:05,719
Speaker 8: to the South and get himself. That the King understood

727
00:45:05,719 --> 00:45:08,200
Speaker 8: that the power really is with the people, and so

728
00:45:08,239 --> 00:45:10,840
Speaker 8: that a people like me who really are fighting every

729
00:45:10,920 --> 00:45:15,080
Speaker 8: single day for the people that we represent. But I'm

730
00:45:15,120 --> 00:45:20,000
Speaker 8: really clear that it's really ordinary, everyday people who organize,

731
00:45:20,360 --> 00:45:23,640
Speaker 8: who stand up, who push back, who create the context

732
00:45:23,719 --> 00:45:25,720
Speaker 8: for the change that we need to see in our country.

733
00:45:26,320 --> 00:45:28,680
Speaker 6: Well, brother, I'll tell you what all we need is

734
00:45:28,719 --> 00:45:31,279
Speaker 6: to march in orders around here. And I think it's

735
00:45:31,320 --> 00:45:34,480
Speaker 6: clear you've given it to us. Because okay, look, the

736
00:45:34,520 --> 00:45:37,200
Speaker 6: mid terms, so we can bust up this trifecta. You

737
00:45:37,320 --> 00:45:40,040
Speaker 6: can't just you just running gangst uff in here now, man.

738
00:45:40,120 --> 00:45:43,279
Speaker 6: So we you know, you know we we're gonna show

739
00:45:43,320 --> 00:45:46,080
Speaker 6: up in the polls. You right, We got to show up, man.

740
00:45:46,360 --> 00:45:49,840
Speaker 6: So mid terms is the call. That's what we're gonna.

741
00:45:49,600 --> 00:45:50,000
Speaker 2: Do, sir.

742
00:45:50,160 --> 00:45:52,560
Speaker 8: The answer to this is the win the winding mid terms.

743
00:45:53,719 --> 00:45:56,600
Speaker 6: All right, that's what we're gonna do, Senator warnick Man,

744
00:45:56,800 --> 00:45:59,600
Speaker 6: thank you so much. I appreciate your efforts man, and

745
00:45:59,640 --> 00:46:00,000
Speaker 6: your heart.

746
00:46:00,640 --> 00:46:02,759
Speaker 8: I will have I'd be remiss about it and remind you,

747
00:46:02,800 --> 00:46:10,000
Speaker 8: Steve that doctor King was an alpha. I love you guys.

748
00:46:15,000 --> 00:46:19,959
Speaker 7: All right, you're listening to the Steve Harvey Morning Show.

749
00:46:23,960 --> 00:46:27,200
Speaker 7: We gotta say Happy MLK Day. Today is Martin Luther

750
00:46:27,280 --> 00:46:30,520
Speaker 7: King Day. We are celebrating. But even though we are

751
00:46:30,560 --> 00:46:34,120
Speaker 7: celebrating Martin Luther King, who stood for peace, America is

752
00:46:34,239 --> 00:46:38,480
Speaker 7: just still so divided with hate and racism these days,

753
00:46:38,880 --> 00:46:42,960
Speaker 7: and now more than ever, should we make it our

754
00:46:43,000 --> 00:46:47,520
Speaker 7: purpose to live out doctor King's legacy. However, just last week,

755
00:46:48,600 --> 00:46:51,800
Speaker 7: during an interview with The New York Times, President Trump

756
00:46:51,880 --> 00:46:57,400
Speaker 7: doubled down in his attacks against diversity, equity, and inclusion,

757
00:46:57,960 --> 00:47:01,400
Speaker 7: DEI claiming that white people have been quote very badly

758
00:47:01,480 --> 00:47:05,040
Speaker 7: treated since the passage of the nineteen sixty four Civil

759
00:47:05,120 --> 00:47:06,560
Speaker 7: Rights Act.

760
00:47:06,800 --> 00:47:09,120
Speaker 2: What how becuse me?

761
00:47:10,120 --> 00:47:12,799
Speaker 7: He said, quote well, I think that a lot of

762
00:47:12,840 --> 00:47:16,320
Speaker 7: people were very badly treated. White people were very badly

763
00:47:16,360 --> 00:47:19,560
Speaker 7: treated when they did extremely where they did extremely well,

764
00:47:20,000 --> 00:47:23,200
Speaker 7: and they were not invited to go to a university

765
00:47:23,320 --> 00:47:27,440
Speaker 7: or college. Now, according to US News, Trump's comments were

766
00:47:27,480 --> 00:47:31,399
Speaker 7: a clear attack on affirmative action for college admissions, which

767
00:47:31,520 --> 00:47:35,440
Speaker 7: was effectively ended by a twenty twenty three Supreme Court ruling.

768
00:47:35,520 --> 00:47:40,839
Speaker 7: We all remember that he did not cite any data

769
00:47:41,640 --> 00:47:45,520
Speaker 7: suggesting that white students have been disadvantaged by the Civil

770
00:47:45,560 --> 00:47:49,800
Speaker 7: Rights Act or the Civil Rights Policy. NAACP president Derek

771
00:47:49,880 --> 00:47:53,480
Speaker 7: Johnson says that there was no evidence that white men

772
00:47:53,520 --> 00:47:57,320
Speaker 7: were discriminated against as a result of the civil rights movement,

773
00:47:57,880 --> 00:48:01,600
Speaker 7: but he just is allowed to say.

774
00:48:01,719 --> 00:48:05,399
Speaker 6: The Vice President had said a week before that he

775
00:48:05,440 --> 00:48:08,920
Speaker 6: was in a speech saying, at some little convention they have,

776
00:48:09,239 --> 00:48:15,120
Speaker 6: he said that we're trying to create a country where

777
00:48:16,680 --> 00:48:20,000
Speaker 6: white people don't have to be ashamed of being white,

778
00:48:20,320 --> 00:48:25,440
Speaker 6: or white people don't have to apologize for being white.

779
00:48:26,360 --> 00:48:28,279
Speaker 6: Let me say this as a black person, I have

780
00:48:28,560 --> 00:48:32,000
Speaker 6: never ever required, not a single white person I know,

781
00:48:32,560 --> 00:48:36,480
Speaker 6: to apologize to me for being white. I have never

782
00:48:36,560 --> 00:48:40,520
Speaker 6: ever required that. I am fine with everybody being who

783
00:48:40,560 --> 00:48:45,879
Speaker 6: they are, whatever color you are. What he means by

784
00:48:45,920 --> 00:48:50,359
Speaker 6: that statement, I think is that we want to create

785
00:48:50,360 --> 00:48:53,759
Speaker 6: an America what white people don't have to apologize for

786
00:48:53,920 --> 00:48:57,799
Speaker 6: being white. I think what he really meant to say

787
00:48:58,200 --> 00:49:02,520
Speaker 6: is he's tired of people thinking they have to apologize

788
00:49:03,040 --> 00:49:08,920
Speaker 6: for what they've done. That's really what it is. So

789
00:49:09,080 --> 00:49:12,160
Speaker 6: you want to be okay to go about the business

790
00:49:12,200 --> 00:49:15,680
Speaker 6: of doing what you've been doing and to not have

791
00:49:15,800 --> 00:49:20,160
Speaker 6: to apologize for it. Because what that statement says to

792
00:49:20,239 --> 00:49:24,560
Speaker 6: me is when you say I don't want white people

793
00:49:24,600 --> 00:49:27,080
Speaker 6: that have to apologize for being white, what you're saying

794
00:49:27,239 --> 00:49:29,640
Speaker 6: is I don't want white people to have to apologize

795
00:49:29,680 --> 00:49:32,800
Speaker 6: for doing the things that we do because we're white.

796
00:49:33,760 --> 00:49:36,600
Speaker 6: And this only goes for a very very small percentage

797
00:49:36,600 --> 00:49:41,440
Speaker 6: of white people. The majority of white people I know

798
00:49:42,440 --> 00:49:48,520
Speaker 6: are really cool people. The majority. But it's enough in power,

799
00:49:49,840 --> 00:49:54,960
Speaker 6: enough in people in position, it's enough people behind closed

800
00:49:54,960 --> 00:49:59,080
Speaker 6: doors to negate all the good work that they do do,

801
00:50:00,680 --> 00:50:02,600
Speaker 6: and it's at the forefront and just look at what

802
00:50:02,640 --> 00:50:09,320
Speaker 6: they're doing right now. Every game they wanted back, because

803
00:50:09,360 --> 00:50:12,880
Speaker 6: that's all a part of making America great again. To

804
00:50:13,080 --> 00:50:17,440
Speaker 6: take back any games that you've given to anybody that

805
00:50:17,719 --> 00:50:22,359
Speaker 6: isn't white. That's all this is. That's why you get

806
00:50:22,480 --> 00:50:26,759
Speaker 6: rid of affirmative action. DEI nobody, no man. What DEI

807
00:50:26,880 --> 00:50:30,600
Speaker 6: did was it was to level the playing field so

808
00:50:30,680 --> 00:50:35,200
Speaker 6: you would have to consider hiring other people other than

809
00:50:35,239 --> 00:50:36,520
Speaker 6: your friends and your circle.

810
00:50:36,920 --> 00:50:38,600
Speaker 2: That's what DEI was created for.

811
00:50:38,960 --> 00:50:41,960
Speaker 6: It made you have to consider because what they were

812
00:50:42,000 --> 00:50:44,359
Speaker 6: doing was they were just doing the little good old

813
00:50:44,360 --> 00:50:48,080
Speaker 6: boy game and just bringing a family nepotism, putting people

814
00:50:48,120 --> 00:50:50,640
Speaker 6: in position they wanted to. But d I said you

815
00:50:50,680 --> 00:50:52,840
Speaker 6: had to consider this, and it didn't say you have

816
00:50:52,920 --> 00:50:55,880
Speaker 6: to consider them even if they were a lesser candidate.

817
00:50:56,160 --> 00:50:58,640
Speaker 6: That's not what it said. Like Charlie Kirk was trying

818
00:50:58,640 --> 00:51:01,719
Speaker 6: to say, No, DULD created so you would have to

819
00:51:01,800 --> 00:51:08,120
Speaker 6: consider consider the qualified people for the position. D I

820
00:51:08,280 --> 00:51:11,479
Speaker 6: didn't create a bunch of unqualified people in a bunch

821
00:51:11,520 --> 00:51:12,960
Speaker 6: of positions they didn't belong in.

822
00:51:13,320 --> 00:51:13,839
Speaker 2: It never.

823
00:51:14,120 --> 00:51:18,560
Speaker 6: It never did that. It made you have to consider

824
00:51:19,200 --> 00:51:24,000
Speaker 6: qualified people to feel positions in this country. They've now

825
00:51:24,120 --> 00:51:26,640
Speaker 6: taken that back where Now all they're saying is we

826
00:51:26,640 --> 00:51:30,000
Speaker 6: ain't even got to consider you know, because we was

827
00:51:30,040 --> 00:51:32,520
Speaker 6: gonna give it to one of our friends, another white

828
00:51:32,520 --> 00:51:36,720
Speaker 6: person anyway, and now we ain't got to do that.

829
00:51:36,719 --> 00:51:40,480
Speaker 6: That's what make America Great Again stands for and for

830
00:51:40,520 --> 00:51:45,560
Speaker 6: these black Republicans out here, y'all, man, y'all, y'all, y'all,

831
00:51:45,640 --> 00:51:48,000
Speaker 6: the worst of the worst. I don't even know how you.

832
00:51:48,280 --> 00:51:51,000
Speaker 6: I don't even know how you how you rationalize this

833
00:51:51,120 --> 00:51:53,839
Speaker 6: in your mind? You really think they talking about you?

834
00:51:54,480 --> 00:51:57,040
Speaker 6: Are you listening to the policies? You ain't in none

835
00:51:57,040 --> 00:51:59,560
Speaker 6: of the policies the Republican Party come up with, But

836
00:51:59,640 --> 00:52:01,680
Speaker 6: you keep acting like they ain't talking about you.

837
00:52:01,880 --> 00:52:10,359
Speaker 2: They are talking about your black Stephenez. They're talking about you, man.

838
00:52:12,800 --> 00:52:15,920
Speaker 6: These black conservatives like you, like you, like you cause

839
00:52:15,920 --> 00:52:17,680
Speaker 6: you over there and you agree with them that you

840
00:52:17,760 --> 00:52:20,879
Speaker 6: immune to the repercussions.

841
00:52:20,160 --> 00:52:20,520
Speaker 9: You not.

842
00:52:23,160 --> 00:52:23,200
Speaker 8: For.

843
00:52:23,440 --> 00:52:27,080
Speaker 6: All they want you to do is expound their theories

844
00:52:27,120 --> 00:52:29,560
Speaker 6: that policies for and as soon as they get them,

845
00:52:29,560 --> 00:52:32,279
Speaker 6: they're gonna get rid of you too. Tim Scott ain't

846
00:52:32,320 --> 00:52:35,840
Speaker 6: got no position. Herschel Walker ain't got no position. Because

847
00:52:35,840 --> 00:52:37,840
Speaker 6: when they get through with you, they just throw you

848
00:52:37,880 --> 00:52:41,680
Speaker 6: all away from here. And all you new cats that

Speaker 10: Hello, Hey, you know something.

861
00:53:19,480 --> 00:53:21,960
Speaker 2: Here's a deal. Now. I understand this right here.

862
00:53:22,840 --> 00:53:26,040
Speaker 6: I can understand that a white person it's tired of

863
00:53:26,120 --> 00:53:30,040
Speaker 6: being blamed for the decisions and actions of their forefathers.

864
00:53:30,440 --> 00:53:32,360
Speaker 2: I get that they.

865
00:53:32,239 --> 00:53:35,680
Speaker 6: Don't have slaves, they don't enact slavery, they don't want it.

866
00:53:36,440 --> 00:53:43,279
Speaker 6: That part I get. What they don't understand is we

867
00:53:43,320 --> 00:53:50,200
Speaker 6: are tired of some of those same policies still continue.

868
00:53:50,880 --> 00:53:54,759
Speaker 6: We know slavery's over with, but but we need the

869
00:53:54,800 --> 00:53:56,000
Speaker 6: rest of them to act like.

870
00:53:56,000 --> 00:53:56,520
Speaker 5: It is.

871
00:53:58,120 --> 00:53:59,360
Speaker 2: Right, and do better.

872
00:54:04,920 --> 00:54:06,120
Speaker 1: And breathe.

873
00:54:07,480 --> 00:54:10,120
Speaker 6: And you know what, like Trump said, every sense, civil

874
00:54:10,200 --> 00:54:13,520
Speaker 6: rights rights have been treated badly. Do you understand what

875
00:54:13,640 --> 00:54:18,759
Speaker 6: the term civil rights means. Civil rights didn't mean right,

876
00:54:18,840 --> 00:54:23,520
Speaker 6: Civil rights didn't mean give us more. Just treat us civil,

877
00:54:24,480 --> 00:54:27,520
Speaker 6: that we have the right to be treated civil.

878
00:54:28,960 --> 00:54:30,040
Speaker 2: That's all it is.

879
00:54:30,239 --> 00:54:33,520
Speaker 6: But you don't want to do that because in treating

880
00:54:33,600 --> 00:54:37,359
Speaker 6: us civil it cost you something. You think it cost

881
00:54:37,440 --> 00:54:41,040
Speaker 6: you position. Yeah, when it did. It did cost you

882
00:54:41,120 --> 00:54:44,080
Speaker 6: some positions because you can't have all the positions.

883
00:54:45,080 --> 00:54:48,120
Speaker 2: So that's what affirmative action was, right. We forced you

884
00:54:48,320 --> 00:54:49,319
Speaker 2: to look.

885
00:54:49,120 --> 00:54:54,479
Speaker 6: At hiring someone other than yourself. That's all it is. Man,

886
00:54:55,000 --> 00:54:59,239
Speaker 6: So you know, oh boy, and he.

Speaker 3: Once more for allowing me to be here with you.

922
00:57:00,440 --> 00:57:03,000
Speaker 3: You know, several years ago I was in New York City,

923
00:57:04,160 --> 00:57:08,600
Speaker 3: autographing the first book that I had written. While sitting

924
00:57:08,640 --> 00:57:14,799
Speaker 3: they autographing books, the minute black woman came up. The

925
00:57:14,840 --> 00:57:15,799
Speaker 3: only question I.

926
00:57:15,719 --> 00:57:19,600
Speaker 2: Heard from her was you Martin Luther King?

927
00:57:19,640 --> 00:57:21,760
Speaker 3: And I was looking down writing and I said yes.

928
00:57:23,040 --> 00:57:25,760
Speaker 3: The next minute I felt something beating on my chest.

929
00:57:26,760 --> 00:57:29,200
Speaker 3: Before I knew it, I had been stabbed by this

930
00:57:29,400 --> 00:57:33,640
Speaker 3: deminuted woman. I was rushed to Hullum Hospital. It was

931
00:57:33,680 --> 00:57:39,360
Speaker 3: a dog Saturday afternoon. That blade had gone through in

932
00:57:39,640 --> 00:57:43,360
Speaker 3: X raised revealed that the tip of the blade was

933
00:57:43,400 --> 00:57:46,520
Speaker 3: on the edge of my heir order the main artery

934
00:57:47,120 --> 00:57:50,600
Speaker 3: and one that's puncture. You drowned in your own blood.

935
00:57:50,640 --> 00:57:54,000
Speaker 3: That's the end of you. It came out in the

936
00:57:54,040 --> 00:57:56,600
Speaker 3: New York Times the next morning that if I had

937
00:57:56,720 --> 00:57:59,360
Speaker 3: merely sneezed, I would have died.

938
00:58:00,200 --> 00:58:00,400
Speaker 8: Well.

939
00:58:00,440 --> 00:58:03,920
Speaker 3: About four days later, they allowed me after the operation,

940
00:58:04,880 --> 00:58:07,160
Speaker 3: after my chest had been opening the blade had been

941
00:58:07,160 --> 00:58:11,080
Speaker 3: taken out, to move around in the wheelchair in the hospital.

942
00:58:11,840 --> 00:58:13,680
Speaker 3: They allowed me to read some of the mail that

943
00:58:13,800 --> 00:58:17,040
Speaker 3: came in and from all over the States and the world.

944
00:58:17,360 --> 00:58:22,200
Speaker 3: Kind letters came in. I read a few, but one

945
00:58:22,240 --> 00:58:25,600
Speaker 3: of them I will never forget. I had received one

946
00:58:25,720 --> 00:58:28,640
Speaker 3: from the President and the Vice President. I've forgotten what

947
00:58:29,000 --> 00:58:32,560
Speaker 3: those telegrams said. I received the visit and a letter

948
00:58:32,640 --> 00:58:35,040
Speaker 3: from the Governor of New York, but I've forgotten what

949
00:58:35,200 --> 00:58:36,840
Speaker 3: that letter say it.

950
00:58:37,720 --> 00:58:41,880
Speaker 2: But there was another letter. It came from a little.

951
00:58:41,560 --> 00:58:45,560
Speaker 3: Girl, a young girl who was a student at the

952
00:58:45,600 --> 00:58:46,960
Speaker 3: White Planes High School.

953
00:58:47,760 --> 00:58:48,800
Speaker 2: And I looked at that letter.

954
00:58:48,880 --> 00:58:53,280
Speaker 3: I'll never forget it, said Senor dear doctor King. I

955
00:58:53,360 --> 00:58:58,160
Speaker 3: am a ninth grade student at the White Planes High School.

956
00:58:59,000 --> 00:59:01,600
Speaker 3: She said. While it should not matter, I would like

957
00:59:01,640 --> 00:59:05,840
Speaker 3: to mention that I'm a white girl. I read in

958
00:59:05,960 --> 00:59:11,560
Speaker 3: the paper of your misfortune and of your suffering, and

959
00:59:11,600 --> 00:59:12,840
Speaker 3: I read that if you.

960
00:59:12,880 --> 00:59:14,520
Speaker 2: Had sneezed, you would have died.

961
00:59:15,600 --> 00:59:18,280
Speaker 3: I'm simply writing you to say that I'm so happy

962
00:59:18,880 --> 00:59:20,720
Speaker 3: that you didn't sneeze.

963
00:59:21,040 --> 00:59:22,280
Speaker 2: And I want to say tonight.

964
00:59:23,760 --> 00:59:26,240
Speaker 3: I want to say tonight that I too, am happy

965
00:59:26,480 --> 00:59:29,680
Speaker 3: that I didn't sneeze, because that I had sneezed, I

966
00:59:29,680 --> 00:59:33,640
Speaker 3: wouldn't have been around here. In nineteen sixty when students

967
00:59:33,680 --> 00:59:37,320
Speaker 3: all over the South started sitting in at lunch counties,

968
00:59:37,800 --> 00:59:39,760
Speaker 3: and I knew that as a was sitting in, they

969
00:59:39,760 --> 00:59:43,400
Speaker 3: were really standing up for the best in the American

970
00:59:43,520 --> 00:59:46,439
Speaker 3: dream and taking the whole nation back to those great

971
00:59:46,480 --> 00:59:49,680
Speaker 3: wells of democracy which were dug deep by the founding

972
00:59:49,800 --> 00:59:53,840
Speaker 3: fathers in the Declaration of Independence and the Constitution. If

973
00:59:53,840 --> 00:59:57,120
Speaker 3: I had sneezed, I wouldn't have been around here in.

974
00:59:57,160 --> 00:59:59,520
Speaker 2: Nineteen sixty one when.

975
00:59:59,320 --> 01:00:02,920
Speaker 3: We decided to take a ride for freedom an ended

976
01:00:03,040 --> 01:00:08,800
Speaker 3: segregation in interstate travel. If I had sneezed, I wouldn't

977
01:00:08,800 --> 01:00:10,680
Speaker 3: have been around here.

978
01:00:10,720 --> 01:00:12,240
Speaker 5: In nineteen sixty two.

979
01:00:12,880 --> 01:00:16,240
Speaker 3: The Negroes and all been at Georgia decided to straighten

980
01:00:16,280 --> 01:00:17,000
Speaker 3: that box up.

981
01:00:17,640 --> 01:00:19,600
Speaker 2: And when other men and women straighten that.

982
01:00:19,680 --> 01:00:23,240
Speaker 3: Box up, they are going somewhere, because a man can't

983
01:00:23,360 --> 01:00:26,640
Speaker 3: roger back unless it is bent. If I had sneved,

984
01:00:27,560 --> 01:00:29,720
Speaker 3: I had sneezed, I wouldn't have been here.

985
01:00:29,960 --> 01:00:33,720
Speaker 2: In nineteen sixty three.

986
01:00:33,240 --> 01:00:39,920
Speaker 3: The black people of Birmingham, Alabama aroused the conscience of

987
01:00:39,960 --> 01:00:43,560
Speaker 3: this nation and brought into being the Civil Rights Bill.

988
01:00:43,840 --> 01:00:44,520
Speaker 5: If I had.

989
01:00:44,400 --> 01:00:47,960
Speaker 3: Sneeze, I wouldn't have had a chance later that year,

990
01:00:47,960 --> 01:00:51,440
Speaker 3: in August to try to tell America about a dream

991
01:00:51,560 --> 01:00:56,840
Speaker 3: that I had had. If I had sneezed, I wouldn't

992
01:00:56,840 --> 01:01:00,959
Speaker 3: have been down in Selma, Alabama to see the great

993
01:01:01,120 --> 01:01:02,000
Speaker 3: movement there.

994
01:01:02,160 --> 01:01:03,200
Speaker 2: If I had sneezed.

995
01:01:04,240 --> 01:01:08,280
Speaker 3: I wouldn't have been in Memphis to see a community

996
01:01:08,400 --> 01:01:10,960
Speaker 3: rather around those.

997
01:01:10,840 --> 01:01:14,920
Speaker 2: Brothers and sisters who are suffering. I'm so happy that I.

998
01:01:14,920 --> 01:01:19,360
Speaker 3: Didn't snee and they were telling them now it doesn't

999
01:01:19,360 --> 01:01:23,160
Speaker 3: matter now, it really doesn't matter what happens now. I

1000
01:01:23,240 --> 01:01:26,720
Speaker 3: left Atlanta this morning, and as we got started on

1001
01:01:26,760 --> 01:01:30,400
Speaker 3: the plane that was six of us, the pilot said

1002
01:01:30,640 --> 01:01:35,400
Speaker 3: over the public address system, we're sire f for the delay,

1003
01:01:36,200 --> 01:01:39,880
Speaker 3: but we have Dr Martin Luther King on the plane

1004
01:01:40,040 --> 01:01:43,000
Speaker 3: and to be sure that all of the bags were

1005
01:01:43,120 --> 01:01:47,520
Speaker 3: checked and to be sure that nothing would be wrong

1006
01:01:47,600 --> 01:01:51,200
Speaker 3: on the plane. We had to check out everything carefully,

1007
01:01:52,120 --> 01:01:56,320
Speaker 3: and we've had the plane protected and guard it all night.

1008
01:01:57,440 --> 01:02:00,240
Speaker 2: And then I got into Memphis and.

1009
01:02:00,200 --> 01:02:04,720
Speaker 3: Some began to say the threats I talk about the

1010
01:02:04,760 --> 01:02:08,640
Speaker 3: threats that were out or what would happen to me

1011
01:02:08,800 --> 01:02:12,840
Speaker 3: from some of our sick white brothers.

1012
01:02:13,920 --> 01:02:14,880
Speaker 8: Well, I don't know what.

1013
01:02:14,960 --> 01:02:15,840
Speaker 2: Will happen now.

1014
01:02:16,360 --> 01:02:19,919
Speaker 3: We've got some difficult days ahead, but it really doesn't

1015
01:02:19,920 --> 01:02:22,280
Speaker 3: matter with me now, because I've been.

1016
01:02:22,160 --> 01:02:23,040
Speaker 2: To the Mountain talk.

1017
01:02:25,320 --> 01:02:26,000
Speaker 8: I don't mind.

1018
01:02:27,000 --> 01:02:29,040
Speaker 2: Like anybody, I would like to live.

1019
01:02:29,640 --> 01:02:30,560
Speaker 5: A long life.

1020
01:02:30,680 --> 01:02:36,400
Speaker 3: Longevity has its place, but I'm not concerned about that.

1021
01:02:36,520 --> 01:02:36,880
Speaker 8: Now.

1022
01:02:38,400 --> 01:02:40,000
Speaker 5: I just want to do God's will.

1023
01:02:42,080 --> 01:02:44,480
Speaker 3: And He's allowed me to go up to the mountain,

1024
01:02:45,720 --> 01:02:46,880
Speaker 3: and I've looked over.

1025
01:02:48,320 --> 01:02:49,520
Speaker 5: And I've seen.

1026
01:02:50,680 --> 01:02:51,600
Speaker 2: The promised Land.

1027
01:02:53,120 --> 01:02:56,120
Speaker 3: I may not get there with you, but I want

1028
01:02:56,160 --> 01:02:59,800
Speaker 3: you to know the night that we as a people,

1029
01:03:00,200 --> 01:03:01,840
Speaker 3: we'll get to the Promised Land.

1030
01:03:03,760 --> 01:03:07,400
Speaker 5: So I'm happy tonight. I'm not worried about anything. I'm

1031
01:03:07,400 --> 01:03:09,000
Speaker 5: not very in a man.

1032
01:03:09,480 --> 01:03:12,600
Speaker 3: My eyes have seen the glory on the coming of

1033
01:03:12,640 --> 01:03:13,040
Speaker 3: the Lord.

1034
01:03:13,720 --> 01:03:16,439
Speaker 1: You're listening Save Hardy Morning Show.

1035
01:03:20,880 --> 01:03:23,240
Speaker 6: Coming up, We're going to play some excerpts from doctor

1036
01:03:23,320 --> 01:03:25,560
Speaker 6: King's I Have a Dream Speech.

1037
01:03:28,360 --> 01:03:33,919
Speaker 3: I'm happy to john with you today in what will

1038
01:03:34,000 --> 01:03:40,320
Speaker 3: go down in history as the greatest demonstration for freedom

1039
01:03:40,360 --> 01:03:50,880
Speaker 3: in the history of our nation. Five score years ago,

1040
01:03:52,480 --> 01:03:56,920
Speaker 3: a great American in whose symbolic shadow we stand today,

1041
01:03:58,200 --> 01:04:06,120
Speaker 3: signed the immense Patient Proclamation. This momentous decree came as

1042
01:04:06,160 --> 01:04:09,280
Speaker 3: a great beacon light of Pope for millions of Negro

1043
01:04:09,480 --> 01:04:16,200
Speaker 3: slaves who had been seared in the flames of withering injustice.

1044
01:04:16,400 --> 01:04:20,720
Speaker 3: It came as a joyous daybreak to in the long

1045
01:04:20,960 --> 01:04:27,200
Speaker 3: night of their captivity. But one hundred years later, the

1046
01:04:27,320 --> 01:04:34,160
Speaker 3: Negro steal is not free. One hundred years later, the

1047
01:04:34,240 --> 01:04:38,160
Speaker 3: life of the negro is still sadly crippled by the

1048
01:04:38,200 --> 01:04:44,600
Speaker 3: manacles of segregation and the chains of discrimination. One hundred

1049
01:04:44,680 --> 01:04:46,919
Speaker 3: years later, the negro.

1050
01:04:46,760 --> 01:04:48,920
Speaker 5: Lives on a lonely island.

1051
01:04:48,600 --> 01:04:52,320
Speaker 3: Of poverty in the midst of a vast ocean of

1052
01:04:52,440 --> 01:05:01,880
Speaker 3: material prosperity. One hundred years later, the negro is still

1053
01:05:02,040 --> 01:05:08,040
Speaker 3: languished in the corners of American society and finds himself

1054
01:05:08,040 --> 01:05:09,360
Speaker 3: in exile.

1055
01:05:09,000 --> 01:05:10,040
Speaker 2: In his own land.

1056
01:05:11,520 --> 01:05:17,280
Speaker 3: So we've come here today to dramatize a shameful condition.

1057
01:05:18,960 --> 01:05:21,960
Speaker 3: In a sense, we've come to our nation's capital to

1058
01:05:22,240 --> 01:05:29,600
Speaker 3: cash a check. When the architects of our Republic wrote

1059
01:05:29,640 --> 01:05:34,480
Speaker 3: the magnificent words of the Constitution and the Declaration of Independence,

1060
01:05:36,120 --> 01:05:42,120
Speaker 3: they were signing a promise or a note, to whichever American.

1061
01:05:41,760 --> 01:05:42,720
Speaker 5: Was to fall out.

1062
01:05:44,680 --> 01:05:50,200
Speaker 3: This note was a promise in all men, yes, black men,

1063
01:05:50,280 --> 01:05:55,240
Speaker 3: as well as white men, would be guaranteed the unalienable

1064
01:05:55,400 --> 01:05:58,560
Speaker 3: rights of life, liberty, and.

1065
01:05:58,480 --> 01:05:59,880
Speaker 5: The pursuit of happiness.

1066
01:06:01,560 --> 01:06:07,240
Speaker 3: It is obvious today that America has defaulted on this promise,

1067
01:06:07,320 --> 01:06:11,480
Speaker 3: or not in so far as her citizens of color

1068
01:06:11,560 --> 01:06:19,919
Speaker 3: are concerned. Instead of honoring this sacred obligation, America has

1069
01:06:19,960 --> 01:06:23,919
Speaker 3: given the Negro people a bad check, a check which

1070
01:06:23,920 --> 01:06:26,600
Speaker 3: has come back to mark insufficient funds.

1071
01:06:31,760 --> 01:06:34,000
Speaker 5: But we refuse to believe.

1072
01:06:33,720 --> 01:06:35,760
Speaker 3: That the bank of justice is bakra.

1073
01:06:39,880 --> 01:06:41,960
Speaker 5: Refuse to believe that that are.

1074
01:06:41,840 --> 01:06:45,959
Speaker 3: Insufficient funds in the great faults of opportunity of this nation.

1075
01:06:46,720 --> 01:06:49,960
Speaker 3: So we've come to cash this check, a check.

1076
01:06:49,800 --> 01:06:51,480
Speaker 5: That will give us the pun.

1077
01:06:51,280 --> 01:07:00,200
Speaker 3: Demand, the riches of freedom and the security of justice.

1078
01:07:02,800 --> 01:07:07,400
Speaker 3: We have also come to this hallid spot to remind

1079
01:07:07,640 --> 01:07:10,480
Speaker 3: America of the fierce urgency of now.

1080
01:07:12,080 --> 01:07:13,600
Speaker 5: This is no time.

1081
01:07:14,760 --> 01:07:18,120
Speaker 3: To engage in the luxury of cooling off or to

1082
01:07:18,200 --> 01:07:29,280
Speaker 3: take the tranquilizing drug of gradualism. Now is the time love,

1083
01:07:29,920 --> 01:07:34,840
Speaker 3: to make real the promises of democracy. Now is the

1084
01:07:34,880 --> 01:07:39,720
Speaker 3: time the rise from the dark and desolate valley of

1085
01:07:39,840 --> 01:07:43,320
Speaker 3: segregation to the sunlit path of racial justice.

1086
01:07:43,680 --> 01:07:44,400
Speaker 8: Now is the.

1087
01:07:44,440 --> 01:07:52,640
Speaker 5: Time from quick sense of racial.

1088
01:07:52,360 --> 01:07:55,240
Speaker 3: Injustice to the solid rock of brotherhood.

1089
01:07:55,360 --> 01:07:56,720
Speaker 5: Now is the time.

1090
01:08:00,880 --> 01:08:04,760
Speaker 3: The reality for all of God's dois It would be

1091
01:08:04,840 --> 01:08:09,400
Speaker 3: fatal for the nation to overlook the urgency of the moment.

1092
01:08:11,480 --> 01:08:16,720
Speaker 3: This sweltering summer of the Negro's legitimate discontent will not

1093
01:08:17,000 --> 01:08:21,800
Speaker 3: pass until that is an invigorating ultumn of freedom and

1094
01:08:21,840 --> 01:08:27,040
Speaker 3: equality nineteen sixty three is not an end but a beginning.

1095
01:08:28,280 --> 01:08:31,800
Speaker 3: Those who hope that the Negro needed to blow off

1096
01:08:31,920 --> 01:08:37,520
Speaker 3: steam and will now be content will have a rude awakening.

1097
01:08:37,560 --> 01:08:47,880
Speaker 3: If the nation returns to business as usual, there will

1098
01:08:47,920 --> 01:08:53,160
Speaker 3: be neither rest nor tranquility in America until the Negro

1099
01:08:53,320 --> 01:08:58,800
Speaker 3: has granted his citizenship rights. The whirlwindsor revolt will continue

1100
01:08:58,840 --> 01:09:03,200
Speaker 3: to shake the foundations of our nation until the bright day.

1101

Speaker 5: Stand on the warm threshold.

1104
01:09:11,439 --> 01:09:15,680

1105
01:09:15,760 --> 01:09:19,880
Speaker 3: of gaining our rightful place, we must not be.

1106
01:09:19,880 --> 01:09:21,639
Speaker 2: Guilty of wrong for deeds.

1107
01:09:22,439 --> 01:09:23,040
Speaker 5: Let us not.

1108
01:09:23,120 --> 01:09:27,719
Speaker 3: Seek to satisfy our first for freedom by drinking from

1109
01:09:27,720 --> 01:09:35,400
Speaker 3: the cup of bitterness and hatred. We must forever conduct

1110
01:09:35,479 --> 01:09:39,080
Speaker 3: our struggle on the high plane of dignity and discipline.

1111
01:09:39,600 --> 01:09:44,639
Speaker 3: We must not allow our creative protests to degenerate into

1112
01:09:44,680 --> 01:09:50,000
Speaker 3: physical violence again and again. We must rise to the

1113
01:09:50,040 --> 01:09:53,680
Speaker 3: majestic heights of meeting physical.

1114
01:09:53,320 --> 01:09:54,719

01:10:04,400 --> 01:10:05,360
Speaker 2: All white people.

1119
01:10:05,880 --> 01:10:08,640

1120
01:10:08,800 --> 01:10:12,599
Speaker 3: presence here today, I've come to realize that that destiny

Speaker 6: to go write that one. I had to go put

1439
01:27:00,400 --> 01:27:06,200
Speaker 6: this church stuff together. It was probably the easiest hardest

1440
01:27:06,240 --> 01:27:08,840
Speaker 6: set I've ever written. Because I grew up in the church,

1441
01:27:09,040 --> 01:27:12,439
Speaker 6: so I knew a lot of church stuff. I did

1442
01:27:12,479 --> 01:27:16,200
Speaker 6: not think that the church folks was gonna accept it

1443
01:27:16,200 --> 01:27:18,439
Speaker 6: because I was gonna have to talk about I was

1444
01:27:18,479 --> 01:27:20,720
Speaker 6: gonna have to talk about the people that they let

1445
01:27:20,840 --> 01:27:26,960
Speaker 6: read announcements, you know, because the first thing about reading announcements,

1446
01:27:27,080 --> 01:27:30,519
Speaker 6: reading is fundamental. You can't put the ignorant people shouldn't

1447
01:27:30,520 --> 01:27:32,240
Speaker 6: be reading announcements.

1448
01:27:33,479 --> 01:27:34,760
Speaker 5: At the church.

1449
01:27:35,640 --> 01:27:38,320
