1
00:00:00,080 --> 00:00:05,280
Speaker 1: Today's show is pre recorded. Y'all know what time y'all

2
00:00:05,280 --> 00:00:12,520
Speaker 1: don't know. Y'all back a suit, looking back to back,

3
00:00:13,280 --> 00:00:20,759
Speaker 1: giving them like the milling bus things and it's not good.

4
00:00:21,560 --> 00:00:59,760
Speaker 1: Steve Hartley, I don't join Jo. You gotta use that

00:01:58,360 --> 00:02:04,640
Speaker 1: come on your baby, I shall will. Good morning everybody

8
00:02:04,840 --> 00:02:07,320
Speaker 1: you are listening to the voice, Come on dig me now.

9
00:02:07,840 --> 00:02:11,880
Speaker 1: One and only Steve Harvey got a radio show. Why

10
00:02:12,160 --> 00:02:17,600
Speaker 1: Because God, God is in the blessing business. If you

11
00:02:17,720 --> 00:02:22,600
Speaker 1: go get in line, he has something for you. God

12
00:02:22,720 --> 00:02:27,000
Speaker 1: is amazing. The plan he actually has for you is

13
00:02:27,080 --> 00:02:31,000
Speaker 1: so far greater than you can possibly imagine. It's really

14
00:02:31,120 --> 00:02:36,119
Speaker 1: mind blowing. And as I look back on where He's

15
00:02:36,120 --> 00:02:39,760
Speaker 1: brought me from and what he's currently doing for me,

16
00:02:40,800 --> 00:02:42,880
Speaker 1: all I can do is tell you is God. That's

17
00:02:42,919 --> 00:02:45,320
Speaker 1: all I can tell you, Because I tell you right now,

18
00:02:45,720 --> 00:02:49,799
Speaker 1: I didn't foresee it. You know. It oftentimes amazes me

19
00:02:49,919 --> 00:02:53,160
Speaker 1: when I listened to celebrities when they interview how they say,

20
00:02:53,200 --> 00:02:55,640
Speaker 1: you know, I always always thought that this would happen

21
00:02:55,720 --> 00:02:58,320
Speaker 1: for me, and I just you know it could be true,

22
00:02:59,080 --> 00:03:03,280
Speaker 1: but for me, it's not that way at all. I

23
00:03:03,400 --> 00:03:10,280
Speaker 1: didn't imagine it this way. I had a dream of

24
00:03:10,600 --> 00:03:15,440
Speaker 1: becoming famous one day, but I had no idea would

25
00:03:15,639 --> 00:03:18,600
Speaker 1: it would ever get to this. It was a very

26
00:03:18,720 --> 00:03:22,919
Speaker 1: very simple desire for fame. That is no way I

27
00:03:23,000 --> 00:03:26,480
Speaker 1: could have seen all this. There is no way I

28
00:03:26,680 --> 00:03:29,919
Speaker 1: am telling you this is. This has been nothing for

29
00:03:30,080 --> 00:03:34,080
Speaker 1: me but the grace of God, and all the times

30
00:03:34,120 --> 00:03:39,440
Speaker 1: I failed, every time I had fallen, he picked me up,

31
00:03:40,120 --> 00:03:44,000
Speaker 1: He dusted me off, and he kept me moving. It

32
00:03:44,200 --> 00:03:48,320
Speaker 1: has been an amazing thing to watch God do what

33
00:03:48,480 --> 00:03:50,840
Speaker 1: he do. As I look back on my history and

34
00:03:50,960 --> 00:03:55,840
Speaker 1: you sometimes look back on your history, you've got to see, man, wow,

35
00:03:56,120 --> 00:03:58,040
Speaker 1: what God has done for you and what He's brought

36
00:03:58,080 --> 00:04:01,160
Speaker 1: you through to enable you to be you are. It

37
00:04:01,360 --> 00:04:05,840
Speaker 1: is amazing because really, I mean really real talk. Now,

38
00:04:06,280 --> 00:04:09,360
Speaker 1: had he allowed all of the decisions I had made

39
00:04:09,480 --> 00:04:12,280
Speaker 1: to play all the way out, I can assure you

40
00:04:12,360 --> 00:04:15,840
Speaker 1: I wouldn't be here today. But God, through this grace

41
00:04:15,960 --> 00:04:18,520
Speaker 1: and mercy, who had a plan for me, who was

42
00:04:18,600 --> 00:04:22,040
Speaker 1: just waiting on me to come get in line, and

43
00:04:22,160 --> 00:04:24,680
Speaker 1: then he was gonna start empty, and now he was

44
00:04:24,760 --> 00:04:28,080
Speaker 1: gonna start shipping out all the boxes in heaven with

45
00:04:28,279 --> 00:04:30,840
Speaker 1: my name on it, and man, and what a great

46
00:04:30,920 --> 00:04:33,960
Speaker 1: god he is, what a great god he is, And

47
00:04:34,240 --> 00:04:38,520
Speaker 1: you have boxes of blessings with your name on it

48
00:04:38,760 --> 00:04:42,080
Speaker 1: that he is waiting to ship. But he needs you

49
00:04:42,200 --> 00:04:44,840
Speaker 1: to go down there and get in line. That's what

50
00:04:45,080 --> 00:04:48,560
Speaker 1: it is. It is not that he has more boxes

51
00:04:48,640 --> 00:04:51,200
Speaker 1: for other people than he do you. He got boxes

52
00:04:51,279 --> 00:04:53,799
Speaker 1: with your name on it who have never been shipped.

53
00:04:54,120 --> 00:04:57,120
Speaker 1: Because you will not get in line to go get him.

54
00:04:57,440 --> 00:05:00,720
Speaker 1: You will not ask God for him, you will not

55
00:05:00,920 --> 00:05:03,880
Speaker 1: do the things necessary to attain them. We stop our

56
00:05:03,920 --> 00:05:06,680
Speaker 1: own blessings. Man, I have been the biggest stopper of

57
00:05:06,839 --> 00:05:09,840
Speaker 1: my blessings than anybody else. I can't really get mad

58
00:05:09,880 --> 00:05:13,440
Speaker 1: at nobody. I got nobody to blame for my existence

59
00:05:13,480 --> 00:05:17,479
Speaker 1: but me. But then at the same time, I can't

60
00:05:17,520 --> 00:05:20,840
Speaker 1: take credit for this. I really really can't. I kid

61
00:05:20,920 --> 00:05:23,560
Speaker 1: you not. I cannot take credit for it. And if

62
00:05:23,640 --> 00:05:26,400
Speaker 1: you ever see me taking credit for it, tap me

63
00:05:26,520 --> 00:05:29,960
Speaker 1: on the shoulder, say Steve, pull up. Remember you said

64
00:05:30,000 --> 00:05:33,040
Speaker 1: this ain't about you. If you catch me taking too

65
00:05:33,120 --> 00:05:38,880
Speaker 1: much credit, you have my permission to stop me. Now here.

66
00:05:38,920 --> 00:05:41,440
Speaker 1: It is the deal, though, and this is what I

67
00:05:41,520 --> 00:05:47,719
Speaker 1: want to get through to you today. Moving forward while

68
00:05:48,000 --> 00:05:53,120
Speaker 1: under attack, new level, new devil. You know, every time

69
00:05:53,200 --> 00:05:56,479
Speaker 1: you go somewhere, every time you try to progress, every

70
00:05:56,520 --> 00:05:58,720
Speaker 1: time you make a decision to be better, to do better,

71
00:05:59,240 --> 00:06:01,560
Speaker 1: that's going to be a confrontation you're going to have

72
00:06:02,160 --> 00:06:05,160
Speaker 1: because it is the enemy's job to not see you

73
00:06:05,400 --> 00:06:10,440
Speaker 1: go forward, do better. Won't more behave yourself. There is

74
00:06:10,480 --> 00:06:14,200
Speaker 1: a force that is operative out there that has people

75
00:06:14,320 --> 00:06:18,480
Speaker 1: working on his behalf twenty four seven. You got a computer,

76
00:06:18,720 --> 00:06:21,479
Speaker 1: go read a blog. Just go read a blog. They're

77
00:06:21,560 --> 00:06:27,159
Speaker 1: busy man, not knowing, but just saying evil stuff constantly.

78
00:06:28,040 --> 00:06:34,800
Speaker 1: That's a job. Well, here's what happens. I you. We

79
00:06:35,480 --> 00:06:41,000
Speaker 1: have to always keep moving forward while we're under attack,

80
00:06:42,240 --> 00:06:47,120
Speaker 1: because the attack is going to always come. If you

81
00:06:47,240 --> 00:06:51,200
Speaker 1: allow the attackers to stop you, you will lose that

82
00:06:51,440 --> 00:06:55,480
Speaker 1: particular battle. And you cannot afford this. You know. My

83
00:06:55,600 --> 00:06:59,440
Speaker 1: father used to say, be careful when you're trying to

84
00:06:59,560 --> 00:07:02,000
Speaker 1: kick someone body off the ladder, because you got to

85
00:07:02,080 --> 00:07:05,840
Speaker 1: take your foot off too, and you might slip. And

86
00:07:06,000 --> 00:07:08,719
Speaker 1: so when people are taking their feet off the ladder,

87
00:07:08,960 --> 00:07:11,679
Speaker 1: most something more. The majority the may't even own a ladder.

88
00:07:12,000 --> 00:07:14,880
Speaker 1: They just at the bottom throwing stuff up at you.

89
00:07:15,400 --> 00:07:18,160
Speaker 1: They are just shaking your ladder. They ain't even they

90
00:07:18,160 --> 00:07:20,280
Speaker 1: ain't even on your level. Really tell you the truth,

91
00:07:20,360 --> 00:07:25,680
Speaker 1: they really not. You have moved on far beyond them, spiritually, physically, everything,

92
00:07:26,080 --> 00:07:29,080
Speaker 1: but they are still shaking your ladder and attacking you.

93
00:07:29,800 --> 00:07:33,680
Speaker 1: Keep moving forward while under attack, because the attacks are

94
00:07:33,760 --> 00:07:36,440
Speaker 1: going to come. If you take the time to stop

95
00:07:36,560 --> 00:07:41,000
Speaker 1: and address it, you are impeding your own progress. This

96
00:07:41,440 --> 00:07:45,400
Speaker 1: is very important to understand. Go on about your business

97
00:07:45,720 --> 00:07:49,360
Speaker 1: and remember Steve Harvey and remember those of you out there.

98
00:07:49,640 --> 00:07:52,720
Speaker 1: There is a Bible verse that helps me out every time.

99
00:07:53,040 --> 00:07:54,880
Speaker 1: And I don't know why. I got it on six

100
00:07:55,000 --> 00:07:58,040
Speaker 1: different plaques sitting all around my offices. Everywhere I go,

101
00:07:58,160 --> 00:08:02,080
Speaker 1: I can read it Isaiah fifty seventeen. No weapon formed

102
00:08:02,120 --> 00:08:06,280
Speaker 1: against me. Sheall prosper that because this is that he

103
00:08:06,360 --> 00:08:09,160
Speaker 1: will put me under his wings or protection. And this

104
00:08:09,840 --> 00:08:16,080
Speaker 1: is my inheritance as a servant of the Lord period.

105
00:08:16,400 --> 00:08:19,920
Speaker 1: I'm his boy, he my man, so so did so

106
00:08:20,480 --> 00:08:23,240
Speaker 1: when you come in for me, I have to just

107
00:08:23,440 --> 00:08:26,120
Speaker 1: rest on that Lord right there, that he got it

108
00:08:27,160 --> 00:08:30,080
Speaker 1: that no weapon formed against me, She'll prosper. I'm just

109
00:08:30,240 --> 00:08:32,840
Speaker 1: like you sometimes, you know, we know better, but sometimes

110
00:08:32,920 --> 00:08:35,960
Speaker 1: we don't do better. Man, let them say what they're

111
00:08:35,960 --> 00:08:38,320
Speaker 1: gonna say. When they get through saying it, when they

112
00:08:38,400 --> 00:08:40,800
Speaker 1: get through writing it, when they get through talking about you,

113
00:08:41,000 --> 00:08:43,600
Speaker 1: when they get through lyne about you. Guess what they're

114
00:08:43,600 --> 00:08:45,640
Speaker 1: gonna have to do. They're gonna have to step back

115
00:08:45,720 --> 00:08:48,960
Speaker 1: and watch your rise. They're gonna have to kick back

116
00:08:49,200 --> 00:08:51,840
Speaker 1: and watch what God got for you, because nothing God

117
00:08:51,920 --> 00:08:54,120
Speaker 1: got for you. Can't nobody stop it. I don't care

118
00:08:54,160 --> 00:09:00,839
Speaker 1: what they do. Keep moving forward while under attack. You know,

119
00:09:00,960 --> 00:09:05,040
Speaker 1: somebody tell you something. Minister Lewis fair Khan taught me

120
00:09:05,120 --> 00:09:08,760
Speaker 1: something very important one day. He says, Steve, remember this.

121
00:09:09,480 --> 00:09:13,600
Speaker 1: He said. It is a common thing for a dog

122
00:09:13,920 --> 00:09:17,240
Speaker 1: to bark up at the moon. But if the moon

123
00:09:17,679 --> 00:09:21,760
Speaker 1: balks back at the dog, the dog becomes famous. You

124
00:09:21,880 --> 00:09:26,079
Speaker 1: feel me, the moon was talking to you. What did you?

125
00:09:26,520 --> 00:09:29,080
Speaker 1: How did the moon stop and talk to you? Don't

126
00:09:29,120 --> 00:09:32,360
Speaker 1: give them that. Let the dog bark up at the moon.

127
00:09:32,480 --> 00:09:34,520
Speaker 1: Don't you be up there? You go where God got

128
00:09:34,600 --> 00:09:36,880
Speaker 1: you going. Don't bark back at this dog because the

129
00:09:37,000 --> 00:09:38,640
Speaker 1: dog come famous. Because they ain't gonna be able to

130
00:09:38,679 --> 00:09:40,320
Speaker 1: get to you, but the dog is famous. Now They

131
00:09:40,360 --> 00:09:42,640
Speaker 1: want to interview the dog. Now the dog guess what

132
00:09:43,040 --> 00:09:46,160
Speaker 1: he gonna do? Mo bark? And guess what about you? Man?

133

Speaker 1: the books. I wouldn't even him. I didn't see y'all,

156
00:11:08,040 --> 00:11:12,559
Speaker 1: didn't Timmy, you was ten, You was just born, tom

157
00:11:12,679 --> 00:11:15,679
Speaker 1: You were born in sixty seven. Yeah, he was a

158
00:11:15,920 --> 00:11:17,920
Speaker 1: l when you was one year old. He was killed,

159
00:11:18,480 --> 00:11:22,360
Speaker 1: right man? Yeah I was eleven. Yeah, you got to

160
00:11:22,360 --> 00:11:26,240
Speaker 1: see him, hey man. Miss Blandon made us watch the

161
00:11:26,360 --> 00:11:29,520
Speaker 1: funeral on TV. She bought a black and white TV

162
00:11:29,679 --> 00:11:31,840
Speaker 1: to school and made us watch the funeral on TV.

163
00:11:32,360 --> 00:11:35,880
Speaker 1: Messed us up because we didn't understand because you know, um,

164
00:11:37,559 --> 00:11:43,520
Speaker 1: when when when I came home, man, When when I

165
00:11:43,600 --> 00:11:46,360
Speaker 1: came home from school when he had been murdered. My

166
00:11:46,520 --> 00:11:50,480
Speaker 1: father was home, he had left work and him and

167
00:11:50,559 --> 00:11:53,080
Speaker 1: my mother was standing in that crime. And I couldn't

168
00:11:53,160 --> 00:11:55,440
Speaker 1: understand it. I came home and why y'all crying? Why

169
00:11:55,480 --> 00:11:59,120
Speaker 1: the crying? And my father said, white folks don't want

170
00:11:59,200 --> 00:12:07,000
Speaker 1: us to have nothing to And that's and that was him,

171
00:12:07,640 --> 00:12:10,120
Speaker 1: my father, That was his analogy of the whole thing.

172
00:12:10,440 --> 00:12:13,760
Speaker 1: White folks don't want us to have nothing. They didn't

173
00:12:13,840 --> 00:12:16,880
Speaker 1: kill this man right here, ain't did nothing in nobody.

174
00:12:18,080 --> 00:12:20,760
Speaker 1: All he wanted to do was have us together. And

175
00:12:20,880 --> 00:12:23,240
Speaker 1: that's when I thought, and it sent me into something

176
00:12:23,320 --> 00:12:26,040
Speaker 1: as a child, because I begin I thought what my

177
00:12:26,160 --> 00:12:29,800
Speaker 1: father was saying was factual, you know what I'm saying.

178
00:12:29,840 --> 00:12:31,959
Speaker 1: And I accepted that, and I went and I lived

179
00:12:32,040 --> 00:12:36,360
Speaker 1: for a lot of years with that thought, you know,

180
00:12:37,640 --> 00:12:40,599
Speaker 1: a lot of years with that thought. And so and

181
00:12:41,160 --> 00:12:44,000
Speaker 1: our parents were so strong, Steve, and to see them

182
00:12:44,080 --> 00:12:51,040
Speaker 1: cry like that, I can't only imagine. Yeah, that was

183
00:12:51,160 --> 00:12:54,880
Speaker 1: that was devastating. Man. This was their hope, you know,

184
00:12:55,000 --> 00:12:59,439
Speaker 1: for holding hands to speech in sixty four. I have

185
00:12:59,600 --> 00:13:02,520
Speaker 1: a dream. And then from the man he thought, Man,

186
00:13:02,640 --> 00:13:05,360
Speaker 1: we thought we was gonna get somewhere, and they killed

187
00:13:05,400 --> 00:13:09,400
Speaker 1: his dude, My father's growing boy. Oh he was period.

188
00:13:09,679 --> 00:13:15,839
Speaker 1: Oh he was through. And so yeah, wow, Well he

189
00:13:15,960 --> 00:13:19,280
Speaker 1: left the legacy with his speeches and just all the

190
00:13:19,400 --> 00:13:23,160
Speaker 1: good work, you know, with his nonviolence that he taught us.

191
00:13:23,280 --> 00:13:26,199
Speaker 1: And and you know, his birthday is always celebrated as

192
00:13:26,240 --> 00:13:29,719
Speaker 1: a day of service. So yeah, we're gonna place some

193
00:13:29,840 --> 00:13:33,400
Speaker 1: of the highlights all morning of doctor King's most famous speeches.

194
00:13:35,800 --> 00:13:38,160
Speaker 1: And that's what we're gonna do here as we celebrate

195
00:13:38,240 --> 00:13:41,839
Speaker 1: doctor Martin Luther King Junior on this day. We'll be back.

196
00:13:42,320 --> 00:13:47,600
Speaker 1: You're listening show right now. Here's a drum majst speech

197
00:13:47,679 --> 00:13:50,760
Speaker 1: on the Steve Harvey Morning Show. An instinct. It's a

198
00:13:50,960 --> 00:13:55,480
Speaker 1: kind of drum major instinct. A desire to be out front,

199
00:13:56,080 --> 00:14:00,679
Speaker 1: a desire to lead the parade, a desire to be first.

200
00:14:01,640 --> 00:14:05,439
Speaker 1: It is something that runs the whole gamut of life.

201
00:14:06,080 --> 00:14:10,800
Speaker 1: And so before we condemn them, let us see that

202
00:14:10,960 --> 00:14:15,720
Speaker 1: we all have the drum major instinct. We all want

203
00:14:16,440 --> 00:14:23,480
Speaker 1: to be important, to surpass others, to achieve distinction, to

204
00:14:23,720 --> 00:14:30,840
Speaker 1: lead the parade. Alfred Adler, the great psychoanalyst, contends that

205
00:14:31,480 --> 00:14:36,520
Speaker 1: this is the dominant impulse. Sigmund Fraud used to contend

206
00:14:36,680 --> 00:14:40,760
Speaker 1: that sex was the dominant impulse, and adlacan with a

207
00:14:40,840 --> 00:14:45,520
Speaker 1: new argument, saying that this quest for recognition, this desire

208
00:14:45,960 --> 00:14:54,200
Speaker 1: for attention, this desire for distinction, is the basic impulse,

209
00:14:55,520 --> 00:15:02,040
Speaker 1: the basic drive of human human life, this drum major instinct.

210
00:15:03,360 --> 00:15:06,000
Speaker 1: And you know we begin earlier to ask life to

211
00:15:06,080 --> 00:15:13,280
Speaker 1: put us first. Our first cry as a baby was

212
00:15:13,400 --> 00:15:18,400
Speaker 1: a bid for the tension and all through childhood, the

213
00:15:18,560 --> 00:15:26,400
Speaker 1: drum major impulse or instinct is a major obsession. Children

214
00:15:27,720 --> 00:15:34,280
Speaker 1: ask life to grant them first place. They are a

215
00:15:34,360 --> 00:15:44,480
Speaker 1: little bundle of ego they have innately the drum major instinct.

216
00:15:46,440 --> 00:15:49,520
Speaker 1: Now an adult life, we still have it and we

217
00:15:49,960 --> 00:15:55,440
Speaker 1: really never get by it. We like to do something good,

218
00:15:56,800 --> 00:16:00,640
Speaker 1: and you know, we like to be praised for it. Now,

219
00:16:00,720 --> 00:16:05,000
Speaker 1: if you don't believe that, you just go on living life,

220
00:16:05,080 --> 00:16:07,960
Speaker 1: and you will discover very soon that you like to

221
00:16:08,040 --> 00:16:13,040
Speaker 1: be praised. Everybody likes it as a matter of fact,

222
00:16:14,840 --> 00:16:18,480
Speaker 1: And somehow this warm glow we feel when we are

223
00:16:18,600 --> 00:16:23,720
Speaker 1: praised or when our name is in print is something

224
00:16:24,000 --> 00:16:30,640
Speaker 1: of the vitamin aide to our ego. Nobody is unhappy

225
00:16:31,560 --> 00:16:34,640
Speaker 1: when they are praised, even if they know they don't

226
00:16:34,680 --> 00:16:38,320
Speaker 1: deserve it, and even if they don't believe it. The

227
00:16:38,440 --> 00:16:41,960
Speaker 1: only unhappy people about praise is when that praise is

228
00:16:42,040 --> 00:16:47,680
Speaker 1: going too much towards somebody else. But everybody likes to

229
00:16:47,800 --> 00:16:54,880
Speaker 1: be praised because of this real drum major instinct. Do

230
00:16:55,080 --> 00:16:58,040
Speaker 1: you know that a lot of the race problem grows

231
00:16:58,120 --> 00:17:03,040
Speaker 1: out of the drum made instinct A need that some

232
00:17:03,280 --> 00:17:10,359
Speaker 1: people have to feel superior, a need that some people

233
00:17:10,480 --> 00:17:14,679
Speaker 1: have to feel that they are first, and to feel

234
00:17:15,280 --> 00:17:23,000
Speaker 1: that their white skin ordained them to be first. And

235
00:17:23,200 --> 00:17:27,160
Speaker 1: they have said over and over the game in ways

236
00:17:27,600 --> 00:17:31,879
Speaker 1: that we see with our own eyes. In fact, not

237
00:17:32,000 --> 00:17:35,359
Speaker 1: too long ago, a man down in Mississippis said that

238
00:17:35,600 --> 00:17:40,040
Speaker 1: God was a child a member or the White Citizens Council.

239
00:17:42,320 --> 00:17:45,800
Speaker 1: And so God being the child a member means that

240
00:17:46,080 --> 00:17:50,200
Speaker 1: everybody who's in that has a kind of divinity, a

241
00:17:50,359 --> 00:17:53,960
Speaker 1: kind of superiority. And think of what has happened in

242
00:17:54,080 --> 00:17:59,600
Speaker 1: historism as a result, dis perverted use of the drum

243
00:17:59,720 --> 00:18:04,560
Speaker 1: made instinct led to the most tragic prejudice, the most

244
00:18:04,640 --> 00:18:10,199
Speaker 1: tragic expressions of man's in humanity to man. I mean,

245
00:18:10,320 --> 00:18:13,680
Speaker 1: not only does this thing going to the racial struggle,

246
00:18:14,960 --> 00:18:20,040
Speaker 1: goes into the struggle between nations. And I would submit

247
00:18:20,119 --> 00:18:22,399
Speaker 1: to you this morning that what is wrong in the

248
00:18:22,480 --> 00:18:24,439
Speaker 1: world today is the the nations of the world are

249
00:18:24,480 --> 00:18:30,720
Speaker 1: engaged in a bitter, colossal contest for supremacy, and some

250
00:18:30,960 --> 00:18:36,240
Speaker 1: doesn't having to stop this trend. I'm sorely afred that

251
00:18:36,400 --> 00:18:39,480
Speaker 1: we won't be here to talk about Jesus Christ and

252
00:18:39,560 --> 00:18:46,520
Speaker 1: about God and about brotherhood too many more years. Somebody

253
00:18:47,000 --> 00:18:51,359
Speaker 1: done bringing into this suicidal thrust that we see in

254
00:18:51,440 --> 00:18:55,359
Speaker 1: the world today. None of us are going to be

255
00:18:55,440 --> 00:18:59,480
Speaker 1: around because somebody is going to make the mistake through us,

256
00:18:59,640 --> 00:19:04,000
Speaker 1: since Sliss blunderings of dropping a nuclear bomb somewhere and

257
00:19:04,119 --> 00:19:07,159
Speaker 1: then another one is gonna drop. And don't let anybody

258
00:19:07,280 --> 00:19:11,840
Speaker 1: fool you. Oh, this can happen within a matter of seconds.

259
00:19:12,440 --> 00:19:16,399
Speaker 1: They have twenty megaton bombs in Russia right now that

260
00:19:16,560 --> 00:19:18,960
Speaker 1: can destroy US city as big as New York in

261
00:19:19,119 --> 00:19:22,879
Speaker 1: three seconds, with everybody wiped away in every building. And

262
00:19:23,080 --> 00:19:25,440
Speaker 1: we can do the same thing to Russian China. But

263
00:19:25,640 --> 00:19:28,000
Speaker 1: this is why we are drifted, and we are drifting

264
00:19:28,119 --> 00:19:33,280
Speaker 1: now because nations are caught up with the gum major instinct.

265
00:19:33,600 --> 00:19:37,040
Speaker 1: I must be first, I must be supreme all a

266
00:19:37,200 --> 00:19:41,440
Speaker 1: nasion must rule the world. And I am sad to

267
00:19:41,600 --> 00:19:44,639
Speaker 1: say that the nation in which we live is the

268
00:19:44,800 --> 00:19:49,080
Speaker 1: supreme culprit. And I'm gonna continue to say it to

269
00:19:49,160 --> 00:19:53,560
Speaker 1: America because I love this country too much to see

270
00:19:53,720 --> 00:19:57,920
Speaker 1: the drift that it has taken. God didn't call America

271
00:19:58,400 --> 00:20:01,920
Speaker 1: to do what she's doing in the world now. God

272
00:20:02,040 --> 00:20:06,480
Speaker 1: didn't call America to engage in a senseless, unjust war

273
00:20:07,000 --> 00:20:10,760
Speaker 1: as a war in Vietnam, and we are criminals in

274
00:20:10,880 --> 00:20:14,200
Speaker 1: that war. We've committed more war crimes almost than any

275
00:20:14,320 --> 00:20:16,159
Speaker 1: nation in the world. And I'm going to continue to

276
00:20:16,200 --> 00:20:20,000
Speaker 1: say it, and we won't stop it because of our

277
00:20:20,119 --> 00:20:24,640
Speaker 1: pride and I Ragan says the nation. But God has

278
00:20:24,680 --> 00:20:28,280
Speaker 1: a way of even put nations in that place. You're

279
00:20:28,320 --> 00:20:33,000
Speaker 1: listening show, Welcome back to the ride. We will continue

280
00:20:33,040 --> 00:20:35,760
Speaker 1: with more of Doctor Kings the drum major instinct speech.

281
00:20:36,040 --> 00:20:40,720
Speaker 1: Nobody is unhappy when they are praised, even if they

282
00:20:40,840 --> 00:20:43,200
Speaker 1: know they don't deserve it, and even if they don't

283
00:20:43,240 --> 00:20:47,760
Speaker 1: believe it. The only unhappy people about praise is when

284
00:20:47,840 --> 00:20:52,920
Speaker 1: that praise is going too much towards somebody else. But

285
00:20:53,160 --> 00:20:59,119
Speaker 1: everybody likes to be praised because of this real drum

286
00:20:59,280 --> 00:21:03,960
Speaker 1: major instinct. Do you know that a lot of the

287
00:21:04,119 --> 00:21:09,520
Speaker 1: race problem grows out of the drum major instinct? A

288
00:21:09,760 --> 00:21:16,120
Speaker 1: need that some people have to feel superior, a need

289
00:21:16,240 --> 00:21:20,479
Speaker 1: that some people have to feel that they are first,

290
00:21:20,640 --> 00:21:25,359
Speaker 1: and to feel that their white skin ordained them to

291
00:21:25,520 --> 00:21:31,920
Speaker 1: be first. And they have said over and over the

292
00:21:32,040 --> 00:21:38,160
Speaker 1: game in ways that we see with our own eyes.

293
00:21:38,280 --> 00:21:41,119
Speaker 1: In fact, not too long ago, a man down in

294
00:21:41,280 --> 00:21:45,600
Speaker 1: Mississippis said that God was a child a member or

295
00:21:45,680 --> 00:21:54,160
Speaker 1: the white citizens counsel, and so God being the child

296
00:21:54,200 --> 00:21:58,199
Speaker 1: a member means that everybody who's in that has us

297
00:21:58,359 --> 00:22:02,879
Speaker 1: a kind of divinity, hind of superiority. And think of

298
00:22:02,960 --> 00:22:07,960
Speaker 1: what has happened in historism as a result, this perverted

299
00:22:08,160 --> 00:22:12,360
Speaker 1: use of the drum mage instinct led to the most

300
00:22:12,480 --> 00:22:17,640
Speaker 1: tragic prejudice, the most tragic expressions of man's in humanity

301
00:22:17,720 --> 00:22:21,440
Speaker 1: to man. I mean, not only does this thing going

302
00:22:21,520 --> 00:22:28,240
Speaker 1: too the racial struggle goes into the struggle between nations.

303
00:22:29,320 --> 00:22:31,960
Speaker 1: And I would submit to you this morning that what

304
00:22:32,240 --> 00:22:34,240
Speaker 1: is wrong in the world today is that the nations

305
00:22:34,280 --> 00:22:38,600
Speaker 1: of the world engaged in a bitter, colossal contest for supremacy,

306
00:22:40,840 --> 00:22:44,840
Speaker 1: and some done having to stop this trend. I'm sorely

307
00:22:44,920 --> 00:22:49,639
Speaker 1: afred that we won't be here to talk about Jesus

308
00:22:49,800 --> 00:22:53,960
Speaker 1: Christ and about God and about brotherhood too minimal years.

309
00:22:56,760 --> 00:23:02,240
Speaker 1: Somebody done bringing into this suicide thrust that we see

310
00:23:02,280 --> 00:23:06,359
Speaker 1: in the world today. None of us are gonna be

311
00:23:06,440 --> 00:23:10,560
Speaker 1: around because somebody is gonna make the mistake through our

312
00:23:10,760 --> 00:23:15,440
Speaker 1: senseless blunderings, of dropping a nuclear bomb somewhere, and then

313
00:23:15,480 --> 00:23:18,920
Speaker 1: another one is gonna drop and don't let anybody fool you,

314
00:23:21,040 --> 00:23:24,080
Speaker 1: this can happen within a matter of seconds. They have

315
00:23:24,280 --> 00:23:28,640
Speaker 1: twenty megaton bombs in Russia right now that can destroy

316
00:23:28,720 --> 00:23:31,240
Speaker 1: a city as big as New York in three seconds

317
00:23:31,280 --> 00:23:34,919
Speaker 1: with everybody wiped away in every building. And we can

318
00:23:35,000 --> 00:23:37,480
Speaker 1: do the same thing to Russian China. But this is

319
00:23:37,560 --> 00:23:41,440
Speaker 1: why we are drifted, and we are drifting now because

320
00:23:41,680 --> 00:23:45,320
Speaker 1: nations are caught up with the drum major instinct. I

321
00:23:45,560 --> 00:23:49,320
Speaker 1: must be first, I must be supreme all a nation

322
00:23:49,520 --> 00:23:53,680
Speaker 1: must rule the world. And I am sad to say

323
00:23:54,160 --> 00:23:58,159
Speaker 1: that the nation in which we live is the supreme culprit.

324
00:23:59,280 --> 00:24:03,200
Speaker 1: And I'm gonna continue to say it to America because

325
00:24:03,280 --> 00:24:06,240
Speaker 1: I love this country too much to see the drift

326
00:24:06,320 --> 00:24:10,800
Speaker 1: that it has taken. God didn't call America to do

327
00:24:10,960 --> 00:24:14,840
Speaker 1: what she's doing in the world now. God didn't call

328
00:24:14,960 --> 00:24:19,600
Speaker 1: America to engage in a senseless, unjust war as a

329
00:24:19,680 --> 00:24:23,600
Speaker 1: war in Vietnam, and we are criminals in that war.

330
00:24:23,760 --> 00:24:27,000
Speaker 1: We have committed more war crimes almost than any nation

331
00:24:27,080 --> 00:24:28,960
Speaker 1: in the world. And I'm going to continue to say it,

332
00:24:29,720 --> 00:24:33,920
Speaker 1: and we won't stop it because of our pride, and

333
00:24:34,080 --> 00:24:37,640
Speaker 1: I Ragan says the nation. But God has a way

334
00:24:37,680 --> 00:24:40,879
Speaker 1: of even put nations in that place. The God that

335
00:24:41,000 --> 00:24:44,560
Speaker 1: I worship has a way of saying, don't play with me.

336
00:24:47,520 --> 00:24:51,080
Speaker 1: He has a way of saying. Is a god of

337
00:24:51,160 --> 00:24:55,240
Speaker 1: the Old Testament used to say the Hebrews, don't play

338
00:24:55,280 --> 00:25:01,320
Speaker 1: with Mesurem, don't play with Smith Babylon. Be still and

339
00:25:01,520 --> 00:25:06,720
Speaker 1: know that I'm God. If you don't stuck your reckless course,

340
00:25:06,800 --> 00:25:10,320
Speaker 1: I'll rise up and break the backbone of your power.

341
00:25:12,400 --> 00:25:16,200
Speaker 1: That can happen to America. Every nine then I go

342
00:25:16,320 --> 00:25:19,840
Speaker 1: back and read Gibbons Decline and fall of the Roman Empire.

343
00:25:20,440 --> 00:25:23,560
Speaker 1: And when I come and look at America, I say

344
00:25:23,640 --> 00:25:30,960
Speaker 1: to myself, the parallels are frightening. We have perverted the

345
00:25:31,160 --> 00:25:35,720
Speaker 1: drum made instinct. Every nine then, I guess we all

346
00:25:36,119 --> 00:25:43,199
Speaker 1: think realistically about that day when we will be victimized

347
00:25:43,880 --> 00:25:49,639
Speaker 1: with what is life's final common denominator. That's something we

348
00:25:49,800 --> 00:25:55,360
Speaker 1: call death. We all think about it to every nine.

349
00:25:55,440 --> 00:25:58,880
Speaker 1: Then I think about my own death, and I think

350
00:25:58,920 --> 00:26:01,760
Speaker 1: about my own funeral, and I don't think of it

351
00:26:01,880 --> 00:26:06,800
Speaker 1: in a morbid sense. Every nine then I asked myself

352
00:26:06,880 --> 00:26:11,240
Speaker 1: what is it that I would want say? And I

353
00:26:11,440 --> 00:26:15,440
Speaker 1: leave the word to you this morning. If any of

354
00:26:15,520 --> 00:26:19,280
Speaker 1: you are wrong, When I have to meet my day.

355
00:26:19,480 --> 00:26:23,840
Speaker 1: I don't want a long funeral. And if you get

356
00:26:23,960 --> 00:26:26,359
Speaker 1: somebody here to deliver the unite, you tell him not

357
00:26:26,480 --> 00:26:30,480
Speaker 1: to talk to you long every nine. Then I wonder

358
00:26:30,640 --> 00:26:32,680
Speaker 1: what I want him to say. Tell him not to

359
00:26:32,840 --> 00:26:36,119
Speaker 1: mention that I have a Nobel Peace Prize. That isn't important.

360
00:26:37,280 --> 00:26:40,000
Speaker 1: Tell him not to mention that I have three or

361
00:26:40,080 --> 00:26:43,200
Speaker 1: four hundred of awards, that's not important. Tell him not

362
00:26:43,320 --> 00:26:47,520
Speaker 1: to mention where I went to school. I like somebody

363
00:26:47,800 --> 00:26:52,800
Speaker 1: to mention that day the modern Luther King Junior tried

364
00:26:52,960 --> 00:26:56,600
Speaker 1: to give his life serving of us. I'd like for

365
00:26:56,760 --> 00:27:00,800
Speaker 1: somebody to say that day, the modern Luther King Junior

366
00:27:01,160 --> 00:27:04,280
Speaker 1: tried to love somebody. I want you to say that

367
00:27:04,480 --> 00:27:07,919
Speaker 1: day that I tried to be right on the wall question.

368
00:27:08,720 --> 00:27:11,280
Speaker 1: I want you to be able to say that day

369
00:27:11,760 --> 00:27:15,840
Speaker 1: that I did try to feed the hungry. I want

370
00:27:15,880 --> 00:27:18,040
Speaker 1: you to be able to say that day that I

371
00:27:18,200 --> 00:27:22,399
Speaker 1: did try in my life to close those who were naked.

372
00:27:22,880 --> 00:27:24,800
Speaker 1: I want you to say on that day that I

373
00:27:25,000 --> 00:27:29,040
Speaker 1: did try in my life to visit those who were imprisoned.

374
00:27:29,840 --> 00:27:32,879
Speaker 1: I want you to say that I tried to love

375
00:27:33,520 --> 00:27:37,560
Speaker 1: and serve humanity. Yes, if you want to say that

376
00:27:37,680 --> 00:27:40,520
Speaker 1: I was a drum major. Say that I was a

377
00:27:40,680 --> 00:27:44,080
Speaker 1: drum major for justice, Say that I was a drum

378
00:27:44,200 --> 00:27:48,080
Speaker 1: major for peace. I was a drum major for righteousness.

379
00:27:48,560 --> 00:27:51,920
Speaker 1: And all of the other shallow things will nothing matter.

380
00:27:52,800 --> 00:27:57,359
Speaker 1: I won't have any money to leave behind, I won't

381
00:27:57,400 --> 00:28:01,480
Speaker 1: have the fine and luxurious scenes of life to leave behind.

382
00:28:01,800 --> 00:28:05,119
Speaker 1: But I just want to leave I committed life behind,

383
00:28:06,000 --> 00:28:08,280
Speaker 1: and that's all I want to say. If I can

384
00:28:08,400 --> 00:28:13,120
Speaker 1: help somebody as I pass along, if I can cheer

385
00:28:13,320 --> 00:28:17,240
Speaker 1: somebody with a world a song, if I can show

386
00:28:17,320 --> 00:28:22,119
Speaker 1: somebody he's traveling wrong, then my living will not be

387
00:28:22,320 --> 00:28:25,200
Speaker 1: in vain. If I can do my duty as a

388
00:28:25,280 --> 00:28:29,359
Speaker 1: Christen Hawk, if I can bring salvation to a wall

389
00:28:29,640 --> 00:28:33,280
Speaker 1: who once wrote, if I can spread the message as

390
00:28:33,359 --> 00:28:38,600
Speaker 1: the Master talk, then my living will not be in vain.

391

429
00:31:14,920 --> 00:31:17,280
Speaker 1: What you're doing all that for in the pandemic? Well, hell,

430
00:31:17,320 --> 00:31:21,520
Speaker 1: it's still the pandemic. What you want us to stop doing?

431
00:31:21,760 --> 00:31:25,560
Speaker 1: We can't stop living because it's the pandemic, you know.

432
00:31:26,240 --> 00:31:28,720
Speaker 1: And and and you know what I learned at sixty four.

433
00:31:29,400 --> 00:31:32,680
Speaker 1: In spite of the pandemic, God is still in the

434
00:31:32,800 --> 00:31:36,520
Speaker 1: blessing business. There's some great things happening for some people, man,

435
00:31:37,600 --> 00:31:41,040
Speaker 1: even in the middle of a global pandemic. And I

436
00:31:41,160 --> 00:31:43,960
Speaker 1: happen to be one of those, because once again, I

437
00:31:44,120 --> 00:31:46,720
Speaker 1: live my life in the expectation that God is gonna

438
00:31:46,760 --> 00:31:48,880
Speaker 1: do something great for me, even on the heels of

439
00:31:49,000 --> 00:31:52,880
Speaker 1: something going so bad and so wrong. I mean, man,

440
00:31:53,000 --> 00:31:55,320
Speaker 1: you know, I've really grown as a person man to

441
00:31:55,520 --> 00:31:59,120
Speaker 1: understand that when something goes wrong in my life, all

442
00:31:59,160 --> 00:32:02,480
Speaker 1: I gotta do is right it out. Yeah, counted all joy.

443
00:32:03,240 --> 00:32:05,800
Speaker 1: He always got something from me. On the other side,

444
00:32:06,320 --> 00:32:09,360
Speaker 1: I ain't never seen him have something negative happened to

445
00:32:09,440 --> 00:32:13,520
Speaker 1: me and it just stayed negative. He's turned every last

446
00:32:13,640 --> 00:32:18,479
Speaker 1: one of my catastrophes intoward abundant blessing. I can truly

447
00:32:18,560 --> 00:32:24,400
Speaker 1: say that today y'all seen me. Y'all have seen me.

448
00:32:24,720 --> 00:32:28,600

00:32:28,680 --> 00:32:33,320
Speaker 1: have wrote me off? Yeah? Oh he finished, Nah, yeah,

450
00:32:34,200 --> 00:32:39,440
Speaker 1: you don't know that God I served. Oh yeah, all right, Steve,

451
00:32:40,120 --> 00:32:43,080
Speaker 1: we're gonna take it on over. Introduced please the news

452
00:32:43,520 --> 00:32:47,720
Speaker 1: with ladies and gentlemen, Miss Anne Trup. Thank you very much, everybody,

453
00:32:47,760 --> 00:32:51,240
Speaker 1: and here we go. Vice President elect Kamala Harris steps

454
00:32:51,320 --> 00:32:54,520
Speaker 1: down today from her California Senate seat, and then, of course,

455
00:32:54,560 --> 00:32:56,280
Speaker 1: in two days she used to make history as the

456
00:32:56,440 --> 00:32:59,560
Speaker 1: first woman the first Black, the first East Indian, the

457
00:32:59,600 --> 00:33:03,560
Speaker 1: first Asian to serve as vice president. She also becomes

458
00:33:03,800 --> 00:33:07,000
Speaker 1: the President of the Senate. Now that's a largely ceremonial position,

459
00:33:07,080 --> 00:33:10,360
Speaker 1: as you expect, but in a Senate split fifty fifty,

460
00:33:10,400 --> 00:33:12,000
Speaker 1: which is what we have now, which we're going to

461
00:33:12,040 --> 00:33:16,280
Speaker 1: have after January twentieth, Kamala Harris gets to cast a

462
00:33:16,320 --> 00:33:19,080
Speaker 1: tie breaking vote, which would you know, as we assume,

463
00:33:19,120 --> 00:33:21,760
Speaker 1: it would be in favor of the Democrat California Governor

464
00:33:21,800 --> 00:33:25,440
Speaker 1: Gavin Newsom's picked Secretary of State Alex Padilla to replace her.

465
00:33:25,520 --> 00:33:29,400
Speaker 1: That would make Padilla California's first Latino Senator, and get this,

466
00:33:29,560 --> 00:33:32,440
Speaker 1: it's first mail US Senator in more than thirty years.

467
00:33:33,520 --> 00:33:36,680
Speaker 1: Los Angeles County unfortunately hit a COVID milestone over the weekend.

468
00:33:37,040 --> 00:33:40,040
Speaker 1: There are now more than one million confirmed cases of

469
00:33:40,080 --> 00:33:43,760
Speaker 1: the coronavirus in the most populous California county, and the

470
00:33:43,920 --> 00:33:46,640
Speaker 1: strain out of the UK is now in LA. Health

471
00:33:46,720 --> 00:33:49,520
Speaker 1: officials say that this new variant is about fifty percent

472
00:33:49,640 --> 00:33:52,160
Speaker 1: more contagious than the form we've been dealing with all

473
00:33:52,200 --> 00:33:57,600
Speaker 1: this time. More contagious, not more deadly, but just more contagious,

474
00:33:57,840 --> 00:33:59,560
Speaker 1: and the health experts also say it's likely that the

475
00:33:59,640 --> 00:34:02,080
Speaker 1: new Bridge Child's version of the COVID is already spreading

476
00:34:02,360 --> 00:34:06,040
Speaker 1: in southern California in the wake of the Capitol Hill riot. Meanwhile,

477
00:34:06,080 --> 00:34:08,839
Speaker 1: and the run up to the election, armed groups did

478
00:34:09,000 --> 00:34:12,360
Speaker 1: descend on a few state capitals yesterday, but no major

479
00:34:12,480 --> 00:34:16,280
Speaker 1: problems were reported. Authorities in Lansing, Michigan, say, for instance,

480
00:34:16,320 --> 00:34:19,480
Speaker 1: at about twenty armed men showed up outside the Capitol building.

481
00:34:19,800 --> 00:34:22,640
Speaker 1: There were no violent incidents and no arrest. All the

482
00:34:22,719 --> 00:34:25,680
Speaker 1: gunmen were gone by three pm. An armed group was

483
00:34:25,719 --> 00:34:28,640
Speaker 1: also report outside of New Jersey's capital and Trenton yesterday.

484
00:34:28,920 --> 00:34:31,560
Speaker 1: There were no arrest, but The New York Times reports

485
00:34:31,600 --> 00:34:36,839
Speaker 1: that there were also some small anti government protests in Ohio, Oregon, Wisconsin,

486
00:34:36,960 --> 00:34:41,000
Speaker 1: and Texas. The handful of Georgia state senators, by the way,

487
00:34:41,040 --> 00:34:44,160
Speaker 1: who tried to negate the presidential election results have been

488
00:34:44,200 --> 00:34:47,759
Speaker 1: stripped of their committee chairmanships. Lieutenant Governor Jeff Duncan, who

489
00:34:47,760 --> 00:34:50,279
Speaker 1: happens to be a Republican, made that call, and now

490
00:34:50,400 --> 00:34:54,120
Speaker 1: State Senator Brandon Beach of Alfreda has been removed as

491
00:34:54,239 --> 00:34:58,040
Speaker 1: head of the Transportation Committee. Burne Jones of Jackson's been

492
00:34:58,120 --> 00:35:00,880
Speaker 1: removed as head of the Insurance and Labor Committee. Matt

493
00:35:01,080 --> 00:35:04,320
Speaker 1: Bass of Noonan is off the Reapportionment and Registrictream Committee.

494
00:35:04,560 --> 00:35:07,840
Speaker 1: He will serve instead on the Banking and Financial Institutions Committee,

495
00:35:07,880 --> 00:35:10,640
Speaker 1: which is described by the Atlanta Journal Constitution is really

496
00:35:10,680 --> 00:35:13,880
Speaker 1: a lesser or less important position, So it's kind of demotion. Finally,

497
00:35:13,960 --> 00:35:16,120
Speaker 1: since Donald Trump was the first president White House since

498
00:35:16,160 --> 00:35:18,799
Speaker 1: one of the century, he didn't have a dog. Joe

499
00:35:18,840 --> 00:35:21,680
Speaker 1: Biden's bringing two major and Champ both German shepherds, has

500
00:35:21,680 --> 00:35:27,920
Speaker 1: already been an indauguration. Do you promise if joa Okay,

501
00:35:28,000 --> 00:35:29,879
Speaker 1: just so you know, now back to the Steve Robby

00:35:34,800 --> 00:35:39,279
Speaker 1: King Holiday, Well, Steve, This Wednesday is the inauguration of

504
00:35:39,360 --> 00:35:43,040
Speaker 1: the forty sixth president, President elected Joe Biden and the

505
00:35:43,200 --> 00:35:50,120
Speaker 1: first African American woman President elect Harris We also yeah,

506
00:35:50,280 --> 00:35:53,960
Speaker 1: I mean yeah, where can you say? We're so happy?

507
00:35:54,040 --> 00:35:56,920
Speaker 1: We also just had a huge win in Georgia Senate

508
00:35:57,040 --> 00:36:03,000
Speaker 1: runoff election with Reverend Raphael Warnock, pastor doctor Keaton Baptist

509
00:36:03,160 --> 00:36:07,799
Speaker 1: Church and then a Jewish Democratic Senator John Assa. Well

510
00:36:07,880 --> 00:36:10,560
Speaker 1: White is voting so important. I think it's important to

511
00:36:10,640 --> 00:36:14,319
Speaker 1: talk about it on MLK Day as well. As we've

512
00:36:14,400 --> 00:36:17,600
Speaker 1: proven in this election right here that when we make

513
00:36:17,640 --> 00:36:21,160
Speaker 1: a decision as a people and we move as a people,

514
00:36:21,960 --> 00:36:25,920
Speaker 1: we have far more power than we thought. Make no

515
00:36:26,120 --> 00:36:30,160
Speaker 1: mistake about it, man, The young people that turned out

516
00:36:30,280 --> 00:36:36,759
Speaker 1: for this election made a difference. The young people who

517
00:36:36,920 --> 00:36:40,040
Speaker 1: turned out in this election who did not vote before

518
00:36:41,120 --> 00:36:46,520
Speaker 1: made the difference. It started in Milwaukee when they turned

519
00:36:46,560 --> 00:36:51,160
Speaker 1: around Wisconsin, but they wasn't really tripping right there. They

520
00:36:51,800 --> 00:36:54,160
Speaker 1: went on over to Michigan and then asked where they

521
00:36:54,560 --> 00:36:57,000
Speaker 1: This was the blue wall that they had to hold

522
00:36:57,120 --> 00:37:01,720
Speaker 1: on to. And then Detroit showed up, and Lord have mercy,

523
00:37:02,560 --> 00:37:08,160
Speaker 1: the vote changed it Detroit one, Michigan, and then it

524
00:37:08,360 --> 00:37:15,240
Speaker 1: came down to Pennsylvania, and then Pennsylvania it got to Philly,

525
00:37:15,880 --> 00:37:20,520
Speaker 1: and Philly w das one oh five point three sounds

526
00:37:20,600 --> 00:37:27,799
Speaker 1: like Philly to base showed up man and clowned at

527
00:37:27,840 --> 00:37:31,800
Speaker 1: them posed and they must around in one Pennsylvania, and

528
00:37:32,040 --> 00:37:36,200
Speaker 1: then we came down here to Georgia, and then it

529
00:37:36,320 --> 00:37:41,880
Speaker 1: got to Fulton County, Cobb County, Ginette County, all of

530
00:37:42,000 --> 00:37:46,080
Speaker 1: them counties, Man and Fulton and all of a sudden,

531
00:37:46,560 --> 00:37:50,080
Speaker 1: it was our turn. And then that black brown vote

532
00:37:50,120 --> 00:37:54,160
Speaker 1: showed up and that turned the election. And then Georgia

533
00:37:54,320 --> 00:37:57,400
Speaker 1: was one, and then we had a runoff, and we

534
00:37:57,560 --> 00:37:59,440
Speaker 1: got to the runoff and you looked up at the

535
00:37:59,560 --> 00:38:03,120
Speaker 1: polls and Left Lou was winning and Perdue was winning.

536
00:38:03,280 --> 00:38:05,680
Speaker 1: And then the vote started coming in from them same

537
00:38:05,800 --> 00:38:08,840
Speaker 1: counties again, and them same people showed up, but in

538
00:38:09,080 --> 00:38:12,480
Speaker 1: bigger numbers, and all of a sudden we affected the

539
00:38:12,680 --> 00:38:18,360
Speaker 1: election again. That's why voting is important, because we proved

540
00:38:18,400 --> 00:38:21,239
Speaker 1: in this election that we moves the needle. And now

541
00:38:21,320 --> 00:38:23,520
Speaker 1: they got to deal with us as a as a

542
00:38:23,640 --> 00:38:27,680
Speaker 1: voting block next time, because we're powerful now. And they

543
00:38:27,719 --> 00:38:34,280
Speaker 1: were so mad they counded Georgia three times, three times times,

544
00:38:34,760 --> 00:38:41,120
Speaker 1: we lost three times, bought in computer's robots. Yeah, all right,

545
00:38:41,239 --> 00:38:43,719
Speaker 1: coming up with thirty two minutes after the hour, we'll

546
00:38:43,760 --> 00:38:45,880
Speaker 1: have more of the Steve Harvey Morning Show on the

547
00:38:45,960 --> 00:38:50,680
Speaker 1: Sking Holiday right after this. You're listening Steve Harvey Morning Show.

548
00:38:51,200 --> 00:38:54,839
Speaker 1: Happy King Day, Well Steve. Back in nineteen sixty three,

549
00:38:55,040 --> 00:38:58,040
Speaker 1: the late great Congressman John Lewis spoke at the March

550
00:38:58,160 --> 00:39:03,080
Speaker 1: on Washington. Then twenty thirteen Congressman Lewis gave a speech

551
00:39:03,160 --> 00:39:06,719
Speaker 1: to commemorate the fiftieth anniversary on the March on Washington

552
00:39:06,800 --> 00:39:11,040
Speaker 1: at the Lincoln Memorial. Here's an excerpt of mister Lewis's speech.

553
00:39:11,160 --> 00:39:18,239
Speaker 1: Take a listen. Fifty years ago, fifty years ago, I

554
00:39:18,480 --> 00:39:23,000
Speaker 1: stood right here in this spot, twenty three years old,

555
00:39:23,560 --> 00:39:26,279
Speaker 1: had all of my hair and a few pins light off.

556
00:39:27,719 --> 00:39:32,960
Speaker 1: So I come back here again, just said at those days,

557
00:39:34,360 --> 00:39:40,120
Speaker 1: for the most part a gone. But we have another fight.

558
00:39:41,360 --> 00:39:44,680
Speaker 1: We must stand up and fight the good fight. As

559
00:39:44,760 --> 00:39:48,520
Speaker 1: we march today for the Air forces. They are people

560
00:39:48,800 --> 00:39:51,839
Speaker 1: who want to take us back. We cannot go back.

561
00:39:52,280 --> 00:39:58,839
Speaker 1: We come too far. We want to go forward. Back.

562
00:39:58,920 --> 00:40:03,240
Speaker 1: In nineteen six, the three hundreds and thousand and millions

563
00:40:03,320 --> 00:40:06,880
Speaker 1: of our brothers and sisters could not register to vote.

564
00:40:07,760 --> 00:40:12,000
Speaker 1: When I stood here fifty years ago, I said, one man,

565
00:40:12,280 --> 00:40:15,759
Speaker 1: one vote is African cry. It is ours tool. It

566
00:40:15,960 --> 00:40:20,600
Speaker 1: must be ours. I also said, some people tell us

567
00:40:20,680 --> 00:40:25,000
Speaker 1: to wait, tell us to be patient. I said, fifty

568
00:40:25,080 --> 00:40:29,040
Speaker 1: years later, we cannot wait. We cannot be patient. We

569
00:40:29,160 --> 00:40:35,239
Speaker 1: want jobs and we want our freedom now, all of us.

570
00:40:36,120 --> 00:40:39,240
Speaker 1: It doesn't matter whether we are black or white, Latino

571
00:40:39,640 --> 00:40:43,480
Speaker 1: Asian America, a native American. It doesn't matter whether we

572
00:40:43,560 --> 00:40:46,279
Speaker 1: are straight a gay. We are one people. We are

573
00:40:46,320 --> 00:40:49,520
Speaker 1: one family, we are one house. We all live in

574
00:40:49,640 --> 00:40:55,040
Speaker 1: the same house. So I said to you, my brothers

575
00:40:55,080 --> 00:41:00,520
Speaker 1: and sisters, we cannot give up. We cannot I give out,

576
00:41:01,840 --> 00:41:05,640
Speaker 1: we cannot give in. We must get out there and

577
00:41:05,880 --> 00:41:10,239
Speaker 1: push and pull them. Now, I a few short years ago,

578
00:41:10,520 --> 00:41:13,919
Speaker 1: almost for the eight years ago, well for their years ago,

579
00:41:14,719 --> 00:41:18,040
Speaker 1: almost fifty years ago, I gave a little blood on

580
00:41:18,160 --> 00:41:21,360
Speaker 1: that bridge and sell my Alabama for the right to vote.

581
00:41:22,560 --> 00:41:26,040
Speaker 1: I am not gonna stand by and let the Supreme

582
00:41:26,200 --> 00:41:32,840
Speaker 1: Court take the right to vote away from us. You

583
00:41:33,160 --> 00:41:37,239
Speaker 1: cannot stand by, you cannot sit down. You got to

584
00:41:37,400 --> 00:41:43,080
Speaker 1: stand up, speak up, speak out, and get in the way,

585
00:41:43,520 --> 00:41:53,800
Speaker 1: make some noise. The vote is precious, it is almost sacred.

586
00:41:54,840 --> 00:41:59,120
Speaker 1: It is the most powerful non violent tool be having

587
00:41:59,160 --> 00:42:04,239
Speaker 1: a democratic society. And we got to use that. Back

588
00:42:04,280 --> 00:42:08,320
Speaker 1: in nineteen sixty three, we hadn't heard of the internet.

589
00:42:09,840 --> 00:42:12,719
Speaker 1: We didn't have well sell your telephone, I pad our part.

590
00:42:13,760 --> 00:42:16,400
Speaker 1: But we used what we had to bring about a

591
00:42:16,520 --> 00:42:19,320
Speaker 1: non violent revolution. And I said to all of the

592
00:42:19,480 --> 00:42:23,279
Speaker 1: young people, you must get out there and push and

593
00:42:23,560 --> 00:42:27,879
Speaker 1: pull and make America what America should be for all

594
00:42:27,960 --> 00:42:34,800
Speaker 1: of us. We must set to the Congress fix the

595
00:42:34,880 --> 00:42:38,960
Speaker 1: voting right site. We must set to the Congress past

596
00:42:39,520 --> 00:42:44,200
Speaker 1: comprehensive immigration reform. It doesn't make sense that million of

597
00:42:44,320 --> 00:42:48,920
Speaker 1: our people are living in the shadow. Bring them out

598
00:42:49,000 --> 00:42:52,680
Speaker 1: into the light and set them on a para to citizenship.

599
00:42:53,719 --> 00:42:58,439
Speaker 1: So hanging there, keep the faith. I got the rest

600
00:42:58,520 --> 00:43:03,799
Speaker 1: of forty times in the sixties beating, let bloody and unconscious.

601
00:43:04,360 --> 00:43:08,040
Speaker 1: But I'm not tied, I'm not weary. I'm not prepared

602
00:43:08,719 --> 00:43:12,480
Speaker 1: to sit down and give up, and ready to fight

603
00:43:12,680 --> 00:43:16,600
Speaker 1: and continue to fight. And you must fight, thank you

604
00:43:16,800 --> 00:43:20,160
Speaker 1: very much. I have a dream that we will unathought

605
00:43:20,200 --> 00:43:23,000
Speaker 1: the King's real legacy, his last project, which was to

606
00:43:23,640 --> 00:43:27,120
Speaker 1: wimp out malnutrition and not whip out the malnourished. Too

607
00:43:27,239 --> 00:43:29,719
Speaker 1: much for war and violence and hatred. I have a

608
00:43:29,840 --> 00:43:32,640
Speaker 1: dream that we in fact revived the war on poverty,

609
00:43:33,239 --> 00:43:36,320
Speaker 1: affirmed the right to vote for all Americans, and student

610
00:43:36,600 --> 00:43:40,200
Speaker 1: loan that forgiveness inspire youth to old good of college

611
00:43:40,280 --> 00:43:42,880
Speaker 1: and make something happen in their lives and for our nations.

612
00:43:43,239 --> 00:43:48,560
Speaker 1: You're listening to string show. Then there were those elected

613
00:43:48,960 --> 00:43:51,640
Speaker 1: officials who found it useful to practice the old politics

614
00:43:51,719 --> 00:43:54,840
Speaker 1: of division, doing their best to convince middle class Americans

615
00:43:54,920 --> 00:43:58,680
Speaker 1: of a great untruth that government was somehow itself to

616
00:43:58,800 --> 00:44:03,640
Speaker 1: blame for the growing economic insecured. The distant bureaucrats were

617
00:44:03,880 --> 00:44:06,719
Speaker 1: taking their hard earned dollars to benefit the welfare cheat

618
00:44:06,800 --> 00:44:11,480
Speaker 1: or the illegal immigrant. And then, if we're honest with ourselves,

619
00:44:12,680 --> 00:44:15,719
Speaker 1: we'll admit that during the course of fifty years, there

620
00:44:15,760 --> 00:44:19,480
Speaker 1: were times when some of us claiming to push for

621
00:44:19,640 --> 00:44:25,120
Speaker 1: change lost our way. The anguish of assassinations set off

622
00:44:25,200 --> 00:44:30,839
Speaker 1: self defeating riots, legitimate grievances against police brutality tipped into

623
00:44:30,920 --> 00:44:35,520
Speaker 1: excuse making for criminal behavior. Racial politics could cut both ways,

624
00:44:36,000 --> 00:44:39,600
Speaker 1: as the transformative message of unity and brotherhood was drowned

625
00:44:39,600 --> 00:44:43,200
Speaker 1: out by the language of recrimination, and what had once

626
00:44:43,280 --> 00:44:46,239
Speaker 1: been a call for equality of opportunity, the chance for

627
00:44:46,360 --> 00:44:50,640
Speaker 1: all Americans to work hard and get ahead, was too

628
00:44:50,719 --> 00:44:55,359
Speaker 1: often framed as a mere desire for government support, as

629
00:44:55,400 --> 00:45:00,200
Speaker 1: if we had no agency in our own. Liberation is

630
00:45:00,239 --> 00:45:03,120
Speaker 1: if poverty was an excuse for not raising your child,

631
00:45:04,360 --> 00:45:07,000
Speaker 1: and the bigotry of others was reason to give up

632
00:45:07,040 --> 00:45:15,000
Speaker 1: on yourself. All of that history is how progress stalled.

633
00:45:18,000 --> 00:45:23,880
Speaker 1: That's how hope was diverted, so our country remained divided.

634
00:45:27,880 --> 00:45:31,480
Speaker 1: But the good news is, just as was true in

635
00:45:31,600 --> 00:45:39,080
Speaker 1: nineteen sixty three, we now have a choice. We can

636
00:45:39,160 --> 00:45:42,160
Speaker 1: continue down our current path, in which the gears of

637
00:45:42,280 --> 00:45:45,840
Speaker 1: this great democracy grind to a halt, and our children

638
00:45:45,920 --> 00:45:49,640
Speaker 1: accept a life of lower expectations, where politics is a

639
00:45:49,760 --> 00:45:53,359
Speaker 1: zero sum game where a few do very well while

640
00:45:53,400 --> 00:45:57,160
Speaker 1: struggling families of every race fight over a shrinking economic pie.

641
00:45:57,280 --> 00:46:03,000
Speaker 1: That's one path, or we can have the courage to change.

642
00:46:05,840 --> 00:46:08,600
Speaker 1: The March on Washington teaches us that we are not

643
00:46:08,880 --> 00:46:13,520
Speaker 1: trapped by the mistakes of history, that we are masters

644
00:46:13,560 --> 00:46:17,840
Speaker 1: of our faith. But it also teaches us that the

645
00:46:18,000 --> 00:46:21,120
Speaker 1: promise of this nation will only be kept when we

646
00:46:21,320 --> 00:46:28,320
Speaker 1: work together. We'll have to reignite the embers of empathy

647
00:46:28,400 --> 00:46:33,759
Speaker 1: and fellow feeling, the coalition of conscience that found expression

648
00:46:34,360 --> 00:46:40,160
Speaker 1: in this place fifty years ago. And I believe that

649
00:46:40,239 --> 00:46:44,440
Speaker 1: spirit is there, that truth force inside each of us.

650
00:46:46,880 --> 00:46:49,799
Speaker 1: I see it when a white mother recognizes her own

651
00:46:49,880 --> 00:46:53,560
Speaker 1: daughter in the face of a poor black child. I

652
00:46:53,680 --> 00:46:56,000
Speaker 1: see it when the black youth thinks of his own

653
00:46:56,080 --> 00:47:00,040
Speaker 1: grandfather in the dignified steps of an elderly white And

654
00:47:02,320 --> 00:47:08,360
Speaker 1: it's there. When the native born recognizing that striving spirit

655
00:47:08,400 --> 00:47:12,960
Speaker 1: of the new imprim When the interracial couple connects the

656
00:47:13,040 --> 00:47:17,080
Speaker 1: pain of a gay couple who are discriminated against and

657
00:47:17,200 --> 00:47:23,200
Speaker 1: understands it as their own. That's where courage comes from.

658
00:47:25,400 --> 00:47:29,399
Speaker 1: When we turn not from each other or on each other,

659
00:47:29,719 --> 00:47:32,759
Speaker 1: but towards one another, and we find that we do

660
00:47:32,920 --> 00:47:40,239
Speaker 1: not walk alone, that's where courage comes from her And

661
00:47:40,400 --> 00:47:43,680
Speaker 1: with that courage, we can stand together for good jobs

662
00:47:43,719 --> 00:47:48,040
Speaker 1: and just wages. With that courage, we can stand together

663
00:47:48,640 --> 00:47:52,200
Speaker 1: for the right to healthcare in the richest nation on earth,

664
00:47:52,400 --> 00:47:56,840
Speaker 1: for every person. With that courage, we can stand together

665
00:47:57,120 --> 00:47:59,080
Speaker 1: for the right of every child from the corners of

666
00:47:59,120 --> 00:48:02,800
Speaker 1: Anacosta to the hills of Appalachian to get an education

667
00:48:02,960 --> 00:48:06,600
Speaker 1: that stirs the mind and captures the spirit and prepares

668
00:48:06,640 --> 00:48:13,680
Speaker 1: them for the world that awaits them. With that courage,

669
00:48:13,719 --> 00:48:18,200
Speaker 1: we can feed the hunger and how's the homeless, and

670
00:48:18,360 --> 00:48:22,120
Speaker 1: transform bleak waste, lands of poverty in the fields of

671
00:48:22,160 --> 00:48:29,799
Speaker 1: commerce and promise America. I know of the road will

672
00:48:29,840 --> 00:48:34,680
Speaker 1: be long, but I know we can get there. Yes,

673
00:48:34,800 --> 00:48:37,279
Speaker 1: we will stumble, but I know we'll get back up.

674
00:48:38,880 --> 00:48:43,160
Speaker 1: That's how a movement happens. That's how history bends. That's

675
00:48:43,200 --> 00:48:46,080
Speaker 1: how when somebody is faint of heart, somebody else brings

676
00:48:46,160 --> 00:48:53,040
Speaker 1: them along and says, come on, we're marching. There's a

677
00:48:53,160 --> 00:48:55,840
Speaker 1: reason why so many who march that day and in

678
00:48:55,920 --> 00:49:00,800
Speaker 1: the days to come. We're young. For the young or

679
00:49:00,920 --> 00:49:07,759
Speaker 1: unconstrained by habits of fear, unconstrained by the conventions of

680
00:49:07,880 --> 00:49:14,239
Speaker 1: what is, They dared to dream different, They to imagine

681
00:49:14,320 --> 00:49:19,640
Speaker 1: something better. And I am convinced that same imagination, the

682
00:49:19,760 --> 00:49:26,719
Speaker 1: same hunger of purpose, stirs in this generation. We might

683
00:49:26,800 --> 00:49:31,200
Speaker 1: not face the same dangers of nineteen sixty three, but

684
00:49:31,280 --> 00:49:36,880
Speaker 1: the fierce urgency of now remains. We may never duplicate

685
00:49:37,200 --> 00:49:40,480
Speaker 1: the swelling crowds and dazzling procession of that day so

686
00:49:40,680 --> 00:49:44,160
Speaker 1: long ago. No one can match King's brilliance. But the

687
00:49:44,320 --> 00:49:48,440
Speaker 1: same flame that let the heart of all who are

688
00:49:48,520 --> 00:49:51,120
Speaker 1: willing to take a first step for justice. I know

689
00:49:51,280 --> 00:50:00,880
Speaker 1: that flame remains. That tireless teacher who gets to class

690
00:50:00,960 --> 00:50:03,200
Speaker 1: early and stays late and dips into her own pocket

691
00:50:03,239 --> 00:50:06,600
Speaker 1: to buy supplies because she believes that every child is

692
00:50:06,680 --> 00:50:14,920
Speaker 1: her charge. She's marching. That successful business man who doesn't

693
00:50:14,960 --> 00:50:17,600
Speaker 1: have to but pays his workers a fair wage and

694
00:50:17,680 --> 00:50:20,520
Speaker 1: then offers a shot to a man, maybe an ex con,

695
00:50:20,719 --> 00:50:28,160
Speaker 1: who's down on his luck. He's marching. The mother who

696
00:50:28,200 --> 00:50:30,439
Speaker 1: pours her love into her daughter so that she grows

697
00:50:30,520 --> 00:50:32,759
Speaker 1: up with the confidence to walk through the same doors

698
00:50:32,760 --> 00:50:41,080
Speaker 1: as anybody's son. She's marching the father who realizes the

699
00:50:41,200 --> 00:50:43,839
Speaker 1: most important job he'll ever have is raising his boy right,

700
00:50:44,040 --> 00:50:46,520
Speaker 1: even if he didn't have a father, especially if he

701
00:50:46,560 --> 00:50:53,360
Speaker 1: didn't have a father at home. He's marching the battles,

702
00:50:53,400 --> 00:50:56,600
Speaker 1: scarred veterans who devote themselves not only to help him

703
00:50:56,960 --> 00:50:59,960
Speaker 1: their fellow warriors stand again and walk again and run again,

704
00:51:00,239 --> 00:51:02,600
Speaker 1: but to keep serving their country when they come home.

705
00:51:02,800 --> 00:51:12,440
Speaker 1: They are marching everyone who realizes what those glorious patriots

706
00:51:12,960 --> 00:51:17,280
Speaker 1: new on that day. The change does not come from Washington,

707
00:51:17,440 --> 00:51:21,040
Speaker 1: but to Washington. The change has always been built on

708
00:51:21,239 --> 00:51:24,880
Speaker 1: our willingness, we the people, to take on the mantle

709
00:51:24,960 --> 00:51:29,799
Speaker 1: of citizenship. If you are merchant, and that's the lesson

710
00:51:29,880 --> 00:51:35,480
Speaker 1: of our past, that's the promise of tomorrow. And in

711
00:51:35,520 --> 00:51:38,960
Speaker 1: the faith of impossible lives, people who love their country

712
00:51:39,000 --> 00:51:42,799
Speaker 1: can change it. And when millions of Americans of every race,

713
00:51:43,080 --> 00:51:47,080
Speaker 1: in every region, every faith, and every station can join

714
00:51:47,200 --> 00:51:50,319
Speaker 1: together in a spirit of brotherhood. Then those mountains will

715
00:51:50,400 --> 00:51:53,959
Speaker 1: be made low, and those rough places will be made plain,

716
00:51:54,600 --> 00:51:58,120
Speaker 1: and those crooked places now towards grace, and we will

717
00:51:58,280 --> 00:52:01,160
Speaker 1: vindicate the faith of those who sacrifice so much and

718
00:52:01,400 --> 00:52:03,680
Speaker 1: live up to the true meaning of our creed as

719
00:52:03,760 --> 00:52:09,799
Speaker 1: one nation under God, indivisible with liberty, injustice, fraud. You're

720
00:52:09,840 --> 00:52:15,960
Speaker 1: listening show. Doctor Martin Luther King Jr. Once Said that

721
00:52:16,120 --> 00:52:19,520
Speaker 1: life's most persistent and urgent question is what are you

722
00:52:19,680 --> 00:52:22,600
Speaker 1: doing for others? Coming up? We got some excerpts from

723
00:52:22,680 --> 00:52:25,719
Speaker 1: Doctor Kings. I've been to the mountaintop speech. Let us

724
00:52:25,920 --> 00:52:34,400
Speaker 1: rise up tonight with a greater readiness in these powerful days,

725
00:52:35,840 --> 00:52:40,759
Speaker 1: These days a challenging to make America what it ought

726
00:52:40,800 --> 00:52:45,400
Speaker 1: to be. We have an opportunity to make America a

727
00:52:45,520 --> 00:52:51,200
Speaker 1: better nation. And I want to thank God once more

728
00:52:51,320 --> 00:52:54,680
Speaker 1: for allowing me to be here with you. You know,

729
00:52:54,840 --> 00:52:58,919
Speaker 1: several years ago I was in New York City autographing

730
00:52:59,000 --> 00:53:02,719
Speaker 1: the first book that I had written. While sitting the

731
00:53:02,840 --> 00:53:09,120
Speaker 1: autographing books, the minute black woman came up. The only

732
00:53:09,200 --> 00:53:13,600
Speaker 1: question I heard from her was you Marderin Luther King.

733
00:53:13,680 --> 00:53:15,799
Speaker 1: And I was looking down writing and I said yes.

734
00:53:17,040 --> 00:53:19,800
Speaker 1: The next minute I felt something beating on my chest.

735
00:53:20,800 --> 00:53:23,239
Speaker 1: Before I knew it, I had been stabbed by this

736
00:53:23,440 --> 00:53:27,680
Speaker 1: deminuted woman. I was rushed to Hullum Hospital. It was

737
00:53:27,719 --> 00:53:33,400
Speaker 1: a dog Saturday afternoon. That blade had gone through, and

738
00:53:33,480 --> 00:53:37,200
Speaker 1: the X rays revealed that the tip of the blade

739
00:53:37,360 --> 00:53:40,000
Speaker 1: was on the edge of my air order the main

740
00:53:40,160 --> 00:53:44,600
Speaker 1: ottery and once ups punction, you drowned in your own blood.

741
00:53:44,680 --> 00:53:48,000
Speaker 1: That's the end of you. It came out in the

742
00:53:48,080 --> 00:53:50,640
Speaker 1: New York Times the next morning that if I had

743
00:53:50,760 --> 00:53:55,680
Speaker 1: merely sneezed, I would have died. Well. About four days later,

744
00:53:55,800 --> 00:53:59,839
Speaker 1: they allowed me after the operation, after my chest had

745
00:53:59,840 --> 00:54:02,840
Speaker 1: been open and the blade had been taken out, to

746
00:54:03,000 --> 00:54:06,440
Speaker 1: move around in the wheelchair and the hospital, they allowed

747
00:54:06,480 --> 00:54:08,120
Speaker 1: me to read some of the mail that came in,

748
00:54:08,239 --> 00:54:11,680
Speaker 1: and from all over the States and the world. Kind

749
00:54:11,840 --> 00:54:16,320
Speaker 1: letters came in. I read a few, but one of

750
00:54:16,440 --> 00:54:19,960
Speaker 1: them I will never forget. I had received one from

751
00:54:20,000 --> 00:54:23,320
Speaker 1: the President and the Vice President. I've forgotten what those

752
00:54:23,480 --> 00:54:26,879
Speaker 1: telegrams said. I'd received the visit and a letter from

753
00:54:27,000 --> 00:54:29,320
Speaker 1: the Governor of New York, but I've forgotten what that

754
00:54:30,239 --> 00:54:34,799
Speaker 1: letters say it. But that was another letter that came

755
00:54:35,000 --> 00:54:38,960
Speaker 1: from a little girl, a young girl who was a

756
00:54:39,040 --> 00:54:42,359
Speaker 1: student at the White Plains High School. And I looked

757
00:54:42,360 --> 00:54:45,399
Speaker 1: at that letter. I'll never forget it said simply, dear

758
00:54:45,480 --> 00:54:50,800
Speaker 1: doctor King, I am a ninth grade student at the

759
00:54:50,880 --> 00:54:55,160
Speaker 1: White Plains High School. She said. While it should not matter,

760
00:54:55,160 --> 00:54:57,799
Speaker 1: I would like to mention that I'm a white girl.

761
00:54:58,719 --> 00:55:04,080
Speaker 1: I read in the paper of your misfortune and of

762
00:55:04,160 --> 00:55:07,719
Speaker 1: your suffering, and I read that if you had sneezed,

763
00:55:07,800 --> 00:55:11,239
Speaker 1: you would have died. I'm simply writing you to say

764
00:55:11,360 --> 00:55:15,439
Speaker 1: that I'm so happy that you didn't sneeze. And I'd

765
00:55:15,480 --> 00:55:18,600
Speaker 1: want to say to Night. I want to say to

766
00:55:18,760 --> 00:55:21,480
Speaker 1: Night that I too, am happy that I didn't sneeze,

767
00:55:21,520 --> 00:55:24,560
Speaker 1: because if I had sneeze, I wouldn't have been around

768
00:55:24,680 --> 00:55:28,600
Speaker 1: hid in nineteen sixty when students all over the South

769
00:55:29,600 --> 00:55:32,520
Speaker 1: started sitting in at lunch counts, and I knew that

770
00:55:32,600 --> 00:55:34,960
Speaker 1: as they were sitting in, they were really standing up

771
00:55:36,040 --> 00:55:38,840
Speaker 1: for the best in the American dream and taken the

772
00:55:38,880 --> 00:55:42,120
Speaker 1: whole nation back to those great weals of democracy which

773
00:55:42,160 --> 00:55:45,560
Speaker 1: were dug deep by the founding fathers in the Declaration

774
00:55:45,640 --> 00:55:49,800
Speaker 1: of Independence and the Constitution. If I had sneezed, I

775
00:55:49,840 --> 00:55:52,399
Speaker 1: wouldn't have been around hid In nineteen six to one,

776
00:55:53,160 --> 00:55:56,360
Speaker 1: when we decided to take a ride for freedom and

777
00:55:56,680 --> 00:56:00,200
Speaker 1: end its segregation in it to state travel. If I

778
00:56:00,360 --> 00:56:05,440
Speaker 1: had sneezed, I wouldn't have been around here in nineteen

779
00:56:05,600 --> 00:56:09,719
Speaker 1: sixty two when Negroes and all been at Georgia decided

780
00:56:09,800 --> 00:56:13,080
Speaker 1: to straighten that box up. And whenever men and women

781
00:56:13,120 --> 00:56:16,520
Speaker 1: straighten that box up, they're going somewhere because a man

782
00:56:17,000 --> 00:56:20,640
Speaker 1: had roger back unless it is bent. If I had sneezed,

783
00:56:21,560 --> 00:56:24,720
Speaker 1: I had sneezed, I wouldn't have been here. In nineteen

784
00:56:25,120 --> 00:56:33,080
Speaker 1: sixty three, the black people of Birmingham, Alabama aroused the

785
00:56:33,239 --> 00:56:37,000
Speaker 1: conscience of this nation and brought into being the Civil

786
00:56:37,080 --> 00:56:40,399
Speaker 1: Rights Bill. If I had sneeze, I wouldn't have had

787
00:56:40,440 --> 00:56:43,239
Speaker 1: a chance later that year in August to try to

788
00:56:43,360 --> 00:56:46,920
Speaker 1: tell America about a dream that I had had. If

789
00:56:46,960 --> 00:56:52,200
Speaker 1: I had sneeze, I wouldn't have been down in Selma,

790
00:56:52,480 --> 00:56:57,320
Speaker 1: Alabama to see the Gretain movement there. If I had sneezed,

791
00:56:58,239 --> 00:57:02,279
Speaker 1: I wouldn't have been in Memphis to see a community

792
00:57:02,480 --> 00:57:08,120
Speaker 1: rally around those brothers and sisters who are suffering. I'm

793
00:57:08,200 --> 00:57:11,360
Speaker 1: so happy that I didn't sleeve and they were telling

794
00:57:11,400 --> 00:57:15,239
Speaker 1: them now it doesn't matter now. It really doesn't matter

795
00:57:15,320 --> 00:57:18,760
Speaker 1: what happens now. I left Atlanta this morning and as

796
00:57:18,800 --> 00:57:22,080
Speaker 1: we got started on the plane that was six of us,

797
00:57:22,440 --> 00:57:28,200
Speaker 1: the pilot said over the public address system, we are

798
00:57:28,280 --> 00:57:31,840
Speaker 1: sorry for the delaye but we have doctor Mard Luther

799
00:57:32,040 --> 00:57:36,160
Speaker 1: King on the plane and to be sure that all

800
00:57:36,240 --> 00:57:39,080
Speaker 1: of the bags were checked and to be sure that

801
00:57:40,480 --> 00:57:43,600
Speaker 1: nothing would be wrong on the plane, we had to

802
00:57:43,720 --> 00:57:49,240
Speaker 1: check out everything carefully, and we've had the plane protected

803
00:57:49,280 --> 00:57:52,320
Speaker 1: and guard it all night. And then I got into

804
00:57:52,360 --> 00:57:57,960
Speaker 1: Memphis and some began to say the threats a talk

805
00:57:58,040 --> 00:58:02,560
Speaker 1: about the threats that while or what would happen to

806
00:58:02,640 --> 00:58:08,240
Speaker 1: me from some of our sick white brothers. Well, I

807
00:58:08,320 --> 00:58:11,520
Speaker 1: don't know what will happen now. We've got some difficult

808
00:58:11,640 --> 00:58:14,720
Speaker 1: days ahead. But it really doesn't matter with me now,

809
00:58:15,440 --> 00:58:20,040
Speaker 1: because I've been to the mountain talk. I don't mind.

810
00:58:21,000 --> 00:58:24,640
Speaker 1: Like anybody, I would like to live a long life.

811
00:58:24,760 --> 00:58:30,760
Speaker 1: Longevity has its place, but I'm not concerned about that now.

812
00:58:32,440 --> 00:58:37,120
Speaker 1: I just want to do God's will, and He's allowed

813
00:58:37,280 --> 00:58:40,439
Speaker 1: me to go up to the mountain, and I've looked

814
00:58:40,480 --> 00:58:47,600
Speaker 1: over and I've seen the promised land. I may not

815
00:58:47,800 --> 00:58:50,600
Speaker 1: get there with you, but I want you to know

816
00:58:50,760 --> 00:58:54,880
Speaker 1: the night that we as a people will get to

817
00:58:55,000 --> 00:58:59,840
Speaker 1: the Promised Land. So I'm happy tonight. I'm not worried

818
00:59:00,240 --> 00:59:04,480
Speaker 1: about anything. I'm a fivery inner man. Mine eyes have

819
00:59:04,720 --> 00:59:10,240
Speaker 1: seen the glory overcoming of the Lord. You're listening Morning

820
00:59:10,280 --> 00:59:13,439
Speaker 1: show coming up. We're gonna play some excerpts from Doctor

821
00:59:13,560 --> 00:59:19,760
Speaker 1: King's I Have a Dream speech. I am happy to

822
00:59:20,080 --> 00:59:24,920
Speaker 1: john with you today. In what will go down in

823
00:59:25,240 --> 00:59:31,200
Speaker 1: history as the greatest demonstration for freedom in the history

824
00:59:31,320 --> 00:59:43,040
Speaker 1: of our nation. Five score years ago, a great American

825
00:59:43,120 --> 00:59:50,919
Speaker 1: in whose symbolic shadow we stand today, signed the Emancipation Proclamation.

826
00:59:52,120 --> 00:59:56,720
Speaker 1: This momentous decree came as a great beacon light of

827
00:59:56,840 --> 01:00:01,480
Speaker 1: Pope the millions of Negro slaves who had been seared

828
01:00:01,560 --> 01:00:06,480
Speaker 1: in the flames of withering injustice. It came as a

829
01:00:06,600 --> 01:00:12,040
Speaker 1: joyous day break to end the long night of their captivity.

830
01:00:12,920 --> 01:00:19,480
Speaker 1: But one hundred years later, the Negro steal is not free.

831
01:00:21,000 --> 01:00:24,240
Speaker 1: One hundred years later, the life of the Negro is

832
01:00:24,360 --> 01:00:29,880
Speaker 1: still sadly crippled by the manacles of segregation and the

833
01:00:30,080 --> 01:00:35,720
Speaker 1: chains of discrimination. One hundred years later, the Negro lives

834
01:00:35,840 --> 01:00:39,400
Speaker 1: on a lonely island of poverty in the midst of

835
01:00:39,480 --> 01:00:44,240
Speaker 1: a vast ocean of material prosperity. One hundred years later,

836
01:00:49,000 --> 01:00:52,960
Speaker 1: the Negro is still languished in the corners of American

837
01:00:53,160 --> 01:00:58,240
Speaker 1: society and finds himself in exile in his own land.

838
01:00:59,680 --> 01:01:05,440
Speaker 1: So we've come here today to dramatize a shameful condition.

839
01:01:07,000 --> 01:01:09,920
Speaker 1: In a sense, we've come to our nation's capital to

840
01:01:10,240 --> 01:01:17,440
Speaker 1: cash a check. When the architects of our Republic wrote

841
01:01:17,480 --> 01:01:22,200
Speaker 1: the magnificent words of the Constitution and the Declaration of Independence,

842
01:01:23,840 --> 01:01:28,480
Speaker 1: they were signing a promise or inoe, to whichever the

843
01:01:28,520 --> 01:01:33,640
Speaker 1: American was to fall air. This note was a promise

844
01:01:33,720 --> 01:01:38,840
Speaker 1: at all men, yes, black men as well as white men,

845
01:01:40,160 --> 01:01:45,560
Speaker 1: would be guaranteed the unalienable rights of life, liberty, and

846
01:01:45,800 --> 01:01:52,400
Speaker 1: the pursuit of happiness. It is obvious today that America

847
01:01:52,560 --> 01:01:56,600
Speaker 1: has defaulted on this promise, or in so far as

848
01:01:56,720 --> 01:02:02,800
Speaker 1: her citizens of color are concerned. Instead of honoring this

849
01:02:03,040 --> 01:02:09,120
Speaker 1: sacred obligation, America has given the Negro people a bad check,

850
01:02:10,080 --> 01:02:18,480
Speaker 1: a check which has come back mark insufficient funds. But

851
01:02:18,720 --> 01:02:22,560
Speaker 1: we refuse to believe that the Bank of Justice is bankrupt.

852
01:02:26,320 --> 01:02:29,760
Speaker 1: He refuse to believe that that are insufficient funds in

853
01:02:29,880 --> 01:02:33,640
Speaker 1: the Great faults of opportunity of this nation. So we've

854
01:02:33,720 --> 01:02:37,040
Speaker 1: come to cash this check, a check that will give us,

855
01:02:37,200 --> 01:02:41,880
Speaker 1: upon demand, the riches of freedom and the security of justice.

856
01:02:48,960 --> 01:02:52,760
Speaker 1: We have also come to this hell of spot to

857
01:02:52,960 --> 01:02:58,080
Speaker 1: remind the miracle of the fierce urgency of now. This

858
01:02:58,400 --> 01:03:03,240
Speaker 1: is no time to engage in the luxury of cooling,

859
01:03:03,360 --> 01:03:13,560
Speaker 1: offer to take the tranquilizing drug of gradualism. Now is

860
01:03:13,640 --> 01:03:19,840
Speaker 1: the time to make real the promises of democracy. Now

861
01:03:20,120 --> 01:03:24,680
Speaker 1: is the time arise from the dark and desolate valley

862
01:03:25,080 --> 01:03:29,240
Speaker 1: of segregation to the sunlit path of racial justice. Now

863
01:03:29,480 --> 01:03:38,280
Speaker 1: is the time from the quick sends of racial injustice

864
01:03:38,480 --> 01:03:41,560
Speaker 1: to the solid rock of brotherhood. Now is the time

865
01:03:45,040 --> 01:03:49,680
Speaker 1: the reality for all of God's Still, it would be

866
01:03:49,840 --> 01:03:54,320
Speaker 1: fatal for the nation to overlook the urgency of the moment.

867
01:03:56,320 --> 01:04:01,440
Speaker 1: This sweltering summer of the Negroes. Legitimate discontent will not

868
01:04:01,720 --> 01:04:07,120
Speaker 1: pass until that is an invigorating autumn of freedom and equality.

869
01:04:08,160 --> 01:04:11,600
Speaker 1: Nineteen sixty three is not an end, but a beginning.

870
01:04:12,800 --> 01:04:16,280
Speaker 1: Those who hope that the negro needed to blow off

871
01:04:16,440 --> 01:04:21,880
Speaker 1: steam and will now be content will have a rude awakening.

872
01:04:21,960 --> 01:04:32,000
Speaker 1: If the nation returns to business as usual, thou will

873
01:04:32,120 --> 01:04:37,240
Speaker 1: be neither rest nor tranquility in America until the negro

874
01:04:37,400 --> 01:04:42,120
Speaker 1: has granted his citizenship rights. The whirlwinds a revolt will

875
01:04:42,200 --> 01:04:46,120
Speaker 1: continue to shake the foundations of our nation until the

876
01:04:46,240 --> 01:04:50,520
Speaker 1: bright day of justice emerges. But that is something that

877
01:04:50,640 --> 01:04:53,720
Speaker 1: I must say to my people who stand on the

878
01:04:53,840 --> 01:04:58,480
Speaker 1: warm threshold which leads into the palace of justice. In

879
01:04:58,680 --> 01:05:02,320
Speaker 1: the process of gaining all right for place, we must

880
01:05:02,400 --> 01:05:06,480
Speaker 1: not be guilty of wrong for deeds. Let us not

881
01:05:06,680 --> 01:05:11,240
Speaker 1: seek to satisfy first for freedom by drinking from the

882
01:05:11,360 --> 01:05:24,600
Speaker 1: cup of bitterness and hatred. You're listening Steve Hardy Morning

883
01:05:24,640 --> 01:05:27,720
Speaker 1: Shows right now. As promise, we're gonna play some of

884
01:05:27,840 --> 01:05:30,400
Speaker 1: doctor Kings. I have a dream speech which he delivered

885
01:05:30,400 --> 01:05:32,880
Speaker 1: on the steps of the Lincoln Memorial back in nineteen

886
01:05:33,080 --> 01:05:37,320
Speaker 1: sixty three. One day, right now in Alabama, little black

887
01:05:37,400 --> 01:05:40,600
Speaker 1: bars and black girls, we'll be able to join hands

888
01:05:40,640 --> 01:05:43,960
Speaker 1: with little white bars and white girls as sisters and brothers.

889
01:05:44,000 --> 01:05:48,440
Speaker 1: I have a dream today. I have a dream that

890
01:05:48,600 --> 01:05:52,800
Speaker 1: one day every valace shall be exalted, every hill and

891
01:05:52,880 --> 01:05:55,480
Speaker 1: mountains shall be made lord. The rough places would be

892
01:05:55,600 --> 01:05:58,760
Speaker 1: made paint, and the crooked places will be made straight,

893
01:05:59,000 --> 01:06:02,560
Speaker 1: and the corribel I shall be revealed in all shall

894
01:06:02,680 --> 01:06:06,800
Speaker 1: see it together. This is our hope. This is a

895
01:06:07,000 --> 01:06:10,840
Speaker 1: piece that I go back to the southwith. With this fan,

896
01:06:11,560 --> 01:06:13,880
Speaker 1: we will be able to hear out of the mountain

897
01:06:13,960 --> 01:06:18,440
Speaker 1: of despair a stone of hope. With this fee, we

898
01:06:18,600 --> 01:06:21,960
Speaker 1: will be able to transform the jangling discords of our

899
01:06:22,080 --> 01:06:26,520
Speaker 1: nation into a beautiful symphony of brotherhood. With this fan,

900
01:06:27,320 --> 01:06:30,080
Speaker 1: we will be able to work together, to pray together,

901
01:06:30,320 --> 01:06:33,840
Speaker 1: to struggle together, to go to jail together, to stand

902
01:06:33,960 --> 01:06:37,720
Speaker 1: up for freedom, together, knowing that we will be free

903
01:06:37,800 --> 01:06:45,000
Speaker 1: one day. This will be the day when all of

904
01:06:45,160 --> 01:06:49,800
Speaker 1: God's children be able to sing with new meaning, My

905
01:06:50,000 --> 01:06:54,800
Speaker 1: country tearsity, sweet land of liberty, and be our sings,

906
01:06:55,800 --> 01:06:59,280
Speaker 1: land where my fathers died, Land of the pilgrim's pride.

907
01:07:00,240 --> 01:07:04,840
Speaker 1: From every mountain side, Let freedom ring in Americas. To

908
01:07:04,920 --> 01:07:09,200
Speaker 1: be a great nation, this must become true. So let

909
01:07:09,320 --> 01:07:14,200
Speaker 1: freedom ring from the prodigious hilltops of New Hampshire. Let

910
01:07:14,320 --> 01:07:18,680
Speaker 1: freedom ring from the mighty mountains of New York. Let

911
01:07:18,800 --> 01:07:23,560
Speaker 1: freedom ring from the heightening allegantors of Pennsylvania. Let freedom

912
01:07:23,680 --> 01:07:27,600
Speaker 1: ring from the snow cap rook is of Colorado. Let

913
01:07:27,720 --> 01:07:31,800
Speaker 1: freedom ring from the crevacious slopes of California. But not

914
01:07:31,960 --> 01:07:36,840
Speaker 1: only that. Let freedom ring from storm Mountain of Georgia.

915
01:07:38,400 --> 01:07:43,600
Speaker 1: Let freedom ring from lookout Mountain of Tennessee. Let freedom

916
01:07:43,760 --> 01:07:48,200
Speaker 1: ring from every hill and mole hill of Mississippi, from

917
01:07:48,360 --> 01:07:52,840
Speaker 1: every mountain side, Let freedom ring and wind. It happens

918
01:07:56,000 --> 01:08:00,160
Speaker 1: when we allow freedom ring. When we letted ring, I'm

919
01:08:00,200 --> 01:08:04,040
Speaker 1: every village and ever hamlet, from every state and ever si,

920
01:08:05,400 --> 01:08:08,439
Speaker 1: we will be able to speed up that day when

921
01:08:08,520 --> 01:08:12,680

964
01:11:09,640 --> 01:11:13,439
Speaker 1: We can't stop living because it's the pandemic, you know.

965
01:11:14,160 --> 01:11:16,599
Speaker 1: And and and you know what I learned at sixty four.

966
01:11:17,320 --> 01:11:20,640
Speaker 1: In spite of the pandemic, God is still in the

967
01:11:20,720 --> 01:11:24,479
Speaker 1: blessing business. There's some great things happening for some people, man,

968
01:11:25,600 --> 01:11:29,040
Speaker 1: even in the middle of a global pandemic. And I

969
01:11:29,160 --> 01:11:32,000
Speaker 1: happen to be one of those because once again, I

970
01:11:32,160 --> 01:11:34,760
Speaker 1: live my life in the expectation that God is gonna

971
01:11:34,800 --> 01:11:36,920
Speaker 1: do something great for me, even on the heels of

972
01:11:37,040 --> 01:11:40,960
Speaker 1: something going so bad and so wrong. I mean, man,

973
01:11:41,080 --> 01:11:43,400
Speaker 1: you know, I've really grown as a person man to

974
01:11:43,600 --> 01:11:47,240
Speaker 1: understand it. When something goes wrong in my life, all

975
01:11:47,280 --> 01:11:52,160
Speaker 1: I gotta do is ride it out. Yeah, he always

976
01:11:52,240 --> 01:11:54,840
Speaker 1: got something from me. On the other side, I ain't

977
01:11:54,920 --> 01:11:58,000
Speaker 1: never seen him have something negative happened to me and

978
01:11:58,120 --> 01:12:02,120
Speaker 1: it just stayed negative. He's turned every last one of

979
01:12:02,240 --> 01:12:07,040
Speaker 1: my catastrophes into an abundant blessing. I can truly say

980
01:12:07,120 --> 01:12:13,639
Speaker 1: that today y'all seen me. Y'all have seen me. Oh yeah,

981

989

01:14:00,960 --> 01:14:03,639
Speaker 1: must first be a great follower and a great servant.

1010
01:14:05,240 --> 01:14:09,280
Speaker 1: All right, night from the back. Yes we'll be back

1011
01:14:09,320 --> 01:14:11,680
Speaker 1: with more of the Steve Harvey Morning Show right after this.

1012
01:14:12,360 --> 01:14:17,280
Speaker 1: You're listening to the Steve Harvey Morning Show. Happy King Day,

1013
01:14:17,680 --> 01:14:20,800
Speaker 1: Well Steve. Back in nineteen sixty three, the late great

1014
01:14:20,840 --> 01:14:24,920
Speaker 1: Congressman John Lewis spoke at the March on Washington. Then

1015
01:14:25,000 --> 01:14:28,960
Speaker 1: in twenty thirteen, Congressman Lewis gave a speech to commemorate

1016
01:14:29,040 --> 01:14:32,080
Speaker 1: the fiftieth anniversary on the March on Washington at the

1017
01:14:32,160 --> 01:14:36,320
Speaker 1: Lincoln Memorial. Here's an excerpt of mister Lewis's speech. Take

1018
01:14:36,360 --> 01:14:41,160
Speaker 1: a listen. Fifty years ago I stood right here in

1019
01:14:41,320 --> 01:14:45,479
Speaker 1: this spot, twenty three years old, head, all of my

1020
01:14:45,680 --> 01:14:49,559
Speaker 1: hair and a few pines light off. So I come

1021
01:14:49,640 --> 01:14:55,840
Speaker 1: back here again, just said at those days, for the

1022
01:14:56,000 --> 01:15:02,640
Speaker 1: most part a gong. But we have another fight. We

1023
01:15:02,880 --> 01:15:06,040
Speaker 1: must stand up and fight the good fight as we

1024
01:15:06,280 --> 01:15:10,160
Speaker 1: march today. But the air forces, they are people who

1025
01:15:10,280 --> 01:15:13,600
Speaker 1: want to take us back. We cannot go back. We

1026
01:15:13,840 --> 01:15:20,200
Speaker 1: come too far. We want to go forward. Back. In

1027
01:15:20,439 --> 01:15:24,880
Speaker 1: nineteen sixty three, hundreds and thousand and millions of our

1028
01:15:24,960 --> 01:15:29,759
Speaker 1: brothers and sisters couldnt register to vote. When I stood

1029
01:15:29,840 --> 01:15:34,120
Speaker 1: here fifty years ago, I said, one man, one vote

1030
01:15:34,280 --> 01:15:37,920
Speaker 1: is African cry, it is ours too, It must be ours.

1031
01:15:38,800 --> 01:15:43,400
Speaker 1: I also said, some people tell us to wait, tell

1032
01:15:43,479 --> 01:15:47,400
Speaker 1: us to be patient. I said fifty years later, we

1033
01:15:47,600 --> 01:15:51,560
Speaker 1: cannot wait. We cannot be patient. We want jobs and

1034
01:15:51,720 --> 01:15:57,960
Speaker 1: we want our freedom. Now all of us. It doesn't

1035
01:15:58,000 --> 01:16:01,280
Speaker 1: matter whether we're black or white. Let you know, Asian

1036
01:16:01,320 --> 01:16:05,799
Speaker 1: America or Native American. It doesn't matter whether we're straight. Again,

1037
01:16:06,120 --> 01:16:08,680
Speaker 1: we are one people. We are one family, We are

1038
01:16:08,760 --> 01:16:13,600
Speaker 1: one house. We all live in the same house. So

1039
01:16:13,800 --> 01:16:19,080
Speaker 1: I said to you, my brothers and sisters, we cannot

1040
01:16:19,120 --> 01:16:24,479
Speaker 1: give up. We cannot give out, we cannot give in.

1041
01:16:25,600 --> 01:16:29,320
Speaker 1: We must get out there and push and pull them. Now.

1042
01:16:29,439 --> 01:16:33,000
Speaker 1: I a few short years ago, almost for the eight

1043
01:16:33,120 --> 01:16:36,760
Speaker 1: years ago, well for their years ago, almost fIF three

1044
01:16:36,840 --> 01:16:40,000
Speaker 1: years ago, I gave a little blood on that bridge

1045
01:16:40,040 --> 01:16:43,840
Speaker 1: and spell my Alabama for the right to vote. I

1046
01:16:44,120 --> 01:16:47,759
Speaker 1: am not gonna stand by and let the Supreme Court

1047
01:16:48,040 --> 01:16:52,919
Speaker 1: take the right to vote away from us. You cannot

1048
01:16:53,120 --> 01:16:57,200
Speaker 1: stand by, you cannot sit down. You got to stand up,

1049
01:16:58,240 --> 01:17:03,000
Speaker 1: speak up. We got and get in the way. Make

1050
01:17:03,120 --> 01:17:07,880
Speaker 1: some noise. All right, coming up, it is our last

1051
01:17:07,960 --> 01:17:10,280
Speaker 1: break of the day on this MLK day. We'll have

1052
01:17:10,360 --> 01:17:12,840
Speaker 1: some closing remarks. That's coming up at forty nine minutes

1053
01:17:12,840 --> 01:17:17,400
Speaker 1: after the hour. Right after this, you're listening to show

1054
01:17:18,000 --> 01:17:20,240
Speaker 1: all right here we are our last break of the

1055
01:17:20,400 --> 01:17:24,840
Speaker 1: day on this Martin Luther King Junior Day, twenty twenty

1056
01:17:24,880 --> 01:17:27,560
Speaker 1: one and Steve, you're right, we're here. We made it

1057
01:17:27,680 --> 01:17:30,160
Speaker 1: to twenty twenty one. Man, we made it. That's that's

1058
01:17:30,240 --> 01:17:33,240
Speaker 1: such a blessing man. And like I was saying the

1059
01:17:33,360 --> 01:17:36,360
Speaker 1: other day last week, you know, we we've been dealing

1060
01:17:36,479 --> 01:17:41,880
Speaker 1: so much with this riots and these terrorists and this

1061
01:17:43,760 --> 01:17:48,840
Speaker 1: Trump an attack and an impeachment and all like this.

1062
01:17:50,640 --> 01:17:56,680
Speaker 1: We forgot to celebrate twenty twenty one and now here

1063
01:17:56,720 --> 01:18:00,479
Speaker 1: we are halfway through the month, and we finally stopped

1064
01:18:00,520 --> 01:18:02,920
Speaker 1: for a moment to take a moment and breathe and

1065
01:18:03,040 --> 01:18:06,160
Speaker 1: celebrate Mara Luther King. And in closing, that's what I'm

1066
01:18:06,200 --> 01:18:09,040
Speaker 1: talking about. It's just Mark Luther King, man, I mean,

1067
01:18:09,160 --> 01:18:12,400
Speaker 1: one of the great men of our times, one of

1068
01:18:12,479 --> 01:18:16,960
Speaker 1: the great men in history. If you didn't like Mara

1069
01:18:17,040 --> 01:18:19,759
Speaker 1: Luther King's teachings because you were more of a violet,

1070
01:18:20,360 --> 01:18:25,400
Speaker 1: that's you. But that has never worked for us. It

1071
01:18:26,120 --> 01:18:29,320
Speaker 1: is His way was the absolute best way to accomplish

1072
01:18:29,400 --> 01:18:33,200
Speaker 1: what we were trying to get accomplished. He taught us

1073
01:18:33,280 --> 01:18:39,559
Speaker 1: something that I've remembered. You cannot conquer hate with more hate.

1074
01:18:40,840 --> 01:18:44,760
Speaker 1: The only way to conquer hate is with love. You

1075
01:18:45,040 --> 01:18:48,439
Speaker 1: can't put out a fire with more fire. Somebody got

1076
01:18:48,520 --> 01:18:53,920
Speaker 1: to bring water. You can't get rid of the darkness

1077
01:18:54,240 --> 01:18:58,960
Speaker 1: without light. The sun got to come up. Somebody got

1078
01:18:59,040 --> 01:19:03,200
Speaker 1: to strike a match. We need a light to battle darkness.

1079
01:19:03,960 --> 01:19:07,000
Speaker 1: If you're in the darkest cave in the world, if

1080
01:19:07,040 --> 01:19:12,040
Speaker 1: you just strike one match, you become the brightest glow.

1081
01:19:12,920 --> 01:19:16,320
Speaker 1: You provide the glimmer of hope. And all we have

1082
01:19:16,479 --> 01:19:19,200
Speaker 1: to do is try to remember what Doctor King was

1083
01:19:19,280 --> 01:19:23,479
Speaker 1: teaching us. To be light. Be light wherever you go.

1084
01:19:24,000 --> 01:19:28,280
Speaker 1: All of us can be light in your own particular way.

1085
01:19:29,560 --> 01:19:31,360
Speaker 1: You don't have to be a star to be light.

1086
01:19:32,520 --> 01:19:36,280
Speaker 1: You ain't gotta have no TV shows, no radio show.

1087
01:19:37,680 --> 01:19:41,639
Speaker 1: You ain't got to be an ig model. You ain't

1088
01:19:41,680 --> 01:19:45,720
Speaker 1: got to have the title. You can just be a light.

1089
01:19:47,000 --> 01:19:48,600
Speaker 1: I mean, we was little man. I was in this

1090
01:19:48,680 --> 01:19:53,519
Speaker 1: little gospel choir called the joy Landers, and the little

1091
01:19:53,560 --> 01:19:55,280
Speaker 1: song that they used to love to have us come

1092
01:19:55,360 --> 01:19:58,040
Speaker 1: up and saying was this little light of mine, I'm

1093
01:19:58,080 --> 01:20:01,479
Speaker 1: gonna let it shine, let it shine, let it shine,

1094
01:20:02,000 --> 01:20:04,960
Speaker 1: let it shine. That was a little kid's song. And

1095
01:20:05,120 --> 01:20:08,120
Speaker 1: we go up there singing it, man. And one time

1096
01:20:08,200 --> 01:20:10,160
Speaker 1: we got through singing, my mama asked me, because she

1097
01:20:10,240 --> 01:20:12,280
Speaker 1: was Sunday schools just Steve. Do you know what that

1098
01:20:12,400 --> 01:20:16,960
Speaker 1: means now? I said yeah, And she said, what doesn't mean? Said?

1099
01:20:17,000 --> 01:20:20,240
Speaker 1: I want to shine my light? She said, do you

1100
01:20:20,320 --> 01:20:22,240
Speaker 1: know what the light is referring to? I said, yeah,

1101
01:20:22,320 --> 01:20:25,360
Speaker 1: like a flashlight? You know, because I'm a little boy,

1102
01:20:25,439 --> 01:20:30,400
Speaker 1: what I know? She said, no, it's your attitude. She said,

1103
01:20:30,640 --> 01:20:33,240
Speaker 1: you want to be a person when you grow up

1104
01:20:33,280 --> 01:20:36,519
Speaker 1: that when you walk in the room, that you represent light,

1105
01:20:37,760 --> 01:20:39,880
Speaker 1: that people are glad when you walk in the room.

1106
01:20:41,040 --> 01:20:44,400
Speaker 1: Then she used an example. She said, you know sister Patterson.

1107
01:20:44,880 --> 01:20:47,519
Speaker 1: I said yes, ma'am. She said, you ever noticed when

1108
01:20:47,560 --> 01:20:51,040
Speaker 1: she walked in how everybody feel? I say, they'd be sad. Mama,

1109
01:20:51,200 --> 01:20:53,400
Speaker 1: she said, that's right. You know why I said no,

1110
01:20:53,640 --> 01:20:56,800
Speaker 1: She said, because she's negative. She said, but do you

1111
01:20:56,920 --> 01:20:59,479
Speaker 1: know how you feel her sister Abigail come in the room.

1112
01:20:59,600 --> 01:21:01,640
Speaker 1: I like Abigail, she said, everybody like it. You know

1113
01:21:01,720 --> 01:21:04,280
Speaker 1: why because she liked And she was just trying to

1114
01:21:04,360 --> 01:21:07,080
Speaker 1: teach me, in her own simple way, as a Sunday

1115
01:21:07,120 --> 01:21:10,200
Speaker 1: school teacher, of how to be And you know, it

1116
01:21:10,280 --> 01:21:13,200
Speaker 1: really was. And as I grew up and I got older,

1117
01:21:13,640 --> 01:21:16,559
Speaker 1: I remembered that song, this little light of mine, I'm

1118
01:21:16,600 --> 01:21:20,160
Speaker 1: gonna let it shine. And I've tried to live my life.

1119
01:21:21,200 --> 01:21:24,439
Speaker 1: I've not always accomplished it, but I've tried to live

1120
01:21:24,600 --> 01:21:27,280
Speaker 1: my life. So when I walk in the room, I'm like,

1121
01:21:28,840 --> 01:21:30,680
Speaker 1: I don't ever want to walk in the room and

1122
01:21:30,760 --> 01:21:34,680
Speaker 1: people go, oh man, here he come, oh man, what

1123
01:21:34,960 --> 01:21:38,040
Speaker 1: he wants? And all of you know people like that,

1124
01:21:39,240 --> 01:21:42,200
Speaker 1: all of you know someone that every time they come

1125
01:21:42,280 --> 01:21:45,800
Speaker 1: in the room, man, you got to go here comes

1126
01:21:45,840 --> 01:21:50,080
Speaker 1: so and so. That's why they have that saying before

1127
01:21:50,200 --> 01:21:54,439
Speaker 1: somebody come over there, the question is who all over there?

1128
01:21:56,640 --> 01:21:59,400
Speaker 1: That's the first question, Hey man, you're coming through? Who

1129
01:21:59,479 --> 01:22:04,120
Speaker 1: all over there? Because they want to check to see

1130
01:22:04,160 --> 01:22:07,680
Speaker 1: if I'm walking into a light situation or i might

1131
01:22:07,840 --> 01:22:10,080
Speaker 1: having this great day and I'm gonna have to walk

01:22:10,160 --> 01:22:16,560
Speaker 1: into some darkness. I choose to be light, man. We
