Speaker 3: you think about it, I mean, really really think about it,

21
00:02:24,919 --> 00:02:29,680
Speaker 3: even when your circumstance doesn't look so bright, even when

22
00:02:29,760 --> 00:02:35,280
Speaker 3: you're going through something that's causing you discomfort, pain, Even

23
00:02:35,400 --> 00:02:43,720
Speaker 3: in that, God's goodness is actually overwhelming because don't forget

24
00:02:43,840 --> 00:02:47,160
Speaker 3: why you're going through this moment. First of all, this

25
00:02:47,360 --> 00:02:52,000
Speaker 3: too shall pass, but also secondly, remember man, ain't everything

26
00:02:52,240 --> 00:02:56,280
Speaker 3: else that you've gone through that seems so insurmountable at

27
00:02:56,320 --> 00:03:01,720
Speaker 3: the time, didn't you get past that too? I mean,

28
00:03:01,800 --> 00:03:04,920
Speaker 3: it's amazing. If you really think about it, you don't

29
00:03:04,960 --> 00:03:08,639
Speaker 3: get stuck on any one issue your whole life. The

30
00:03:08,880 --> 00:03:12,200
Speaker 3: only people that get stuck on an issue they whole

31
00:03:12,280 --> 00:03:15,560
Speaker 3: life is people who won't let it go. That's really

32
00:03:15,600 --> 00:03:19,160
Speaker 3: all it is. There are people who exist, and you

33
00:03:19,320 --> 00:03:22,240
Speaker 3: may be one of them. Oh please know, I've been

34
00:03:22,280 --> 00:03:25,880
Speaker 3: guilty of it myself before, but I learned something. There

35
00:03:25,919 --> 00:03:29,280
Speaker 3: are things in my past that I just would not

36
00:03:29,440 --> 00:03:32,480
Speaker 3: let go of. It was done, it was over with.

37
00:03:32,720 --> 00:03:37,160
Speaker 3: I was past it, but I I would not let.

38
00:03:37,160 --> 00:03:37,520
Speaker 8: Go of it.

39
00:03:38,440 --> 00:03:41,000
Speaker 3: It was over. The dude that did it to me

40
00:03:41,080 --> 00:03:44,080
Speaker 3: didn't exist no more. The problem that it created didn't

41
00:03:44,120 --> 00:03:47,120
Speaker 3: exist no more. The only problem that kept hanging on

42
00:03:47,560 --> 00:03:52,000
Speaker 3: was I would not let it go. And man, you

43
00:03:52,240 --> 00:03:55,880
Speaker 3: can't go forward if you're gonna keep looking in the past.

44
00:03:56,720 --> 00:04:00,640
Speaker 3: It's an impossible thing. It's like driving a car. If

45
00:04:00,720 --> 00:04:04,440
Speaker 3: you keep looking only in the rearview mirror while you're driving,

46
00:04:04,760 --> 00:04:07,760
Speaker 3: you're going to crash pretty soon. And a lot of

47
00:04:07,800 --> 00:04:11,240
Speaker 3: people just keep crashing over and over and over and

48
00:04:11,400 --> 00:04:15,560
Speaker 3: over because you won't drive your car. You keep looking

49
00:04:15,680 --> 00:04:19,240
Speaker 3: in the real view mirror at the past. Oh woe

50
00:04:19,400 --> 00:04:21,880
Speaker 3: is me? Oh you know they did me like that.

51
00:04:22,279 --> 00:04:24,440
Speaker 3: You know I ain't been the same since he cheated

52
00:04:24,520 --> 00:04:27,360
Speaker 3: on me. Oh man, ever since she stole my money,

53
00:04:27,480 --> 00:04:30,400
Speaker 3: I ain't been the same man she played me, and

54
00:04:30,440 --> 00:04:33,560
Speaker 3: every since that I done treated women differently. You may

55
00:04:33,640 --> 00:04:37,000
Speaker 3: have some deeper stuff going on, but eventually, guess what,

56
00:04:37,760 --> 00:04:40,360
Speaker 3: do you understand that when you have a relationship God

57
00:04:40,480 --> 00:04:44,080
Speaker 3: with God, you can take that to him too and

58
00:04:44,279 --> 00:04:47,800
Speaker 3: drop it off and leave it there. Do you know

59
00:04:47,920 --> 00:04:51,400
Speaker 3: that He can fix and heal that. Maybe it's something

60
00:04:51,560 --> 00:04:54,320
Speaker 3: serious like that that you need fixing or healing from,

61
00:04:54,839 --> 00:04:59,279
Speaker 3: a relationship with God can fix and heal that. But man,

62
00:05:00,120 --> 00:05:03,360
Speaker 3: come on, y'all, whatever it is, and I'm not trying

63
00:05:03,400 --> 00:05:06,120
Speaker 3: to downplay it or make it act like it wasn't

64
00:05:06,160 --> 00:05:09,080
Speaker 3: traumatic in your life, because oh God, you don't want to.

65
00:05:09,160 --> 00:05:10,600
Speaker 3: You know, you don't want nobody to do that to

66
00:05:10,680 --> 00:05:14,279
Speaker 3: you because you wanna be the you know, the post

67
00:05:14,320 --> 00:05:17,360
Speaker 3: a child for misery. So please don't let me take

68
00:05:17,480 --> 00:05:20,640
Speaker 3: that from you. If that's your position, that's your hall

69
00:05:20,680 --> 00:05:23,839
Speaker 3: of fame card you're hanging on to. I'm the poster

70
00:05:24,040 --> 00:05:27,720
Speaker 3: child for misery. Oh no one is more woe than

71
00:05:27,920 --> 00:05:30,720
Speaker 3: me than Please don't let Steve try to take that

72
00:05:30,880 --> 00:05:33,200
Speaker 3: from you. You go ahead and hang on to that,

73
00:05:33,600 --> 00:05:35,840
Speaker 3: But let me tell you something though. If that's what

74
00:05:36,000 --> 00:05:38,640
Speaker 3: you're gonna hang on to, that's what you're gonna always

75
00:05:38,760 --> 00:05:41,920
Speaker 3: be the poster child for misery. At one point in time,

76
00:05:41,960 --> 00:05:45,240
Speaker 3: you're gonna have to get on and move past it. Sometimes, man,

77
00:05:45,640 --> 00:05:48,360
Speaker 3: it's merely a simple thing of taking it to God

78
00:05:48,440 --> 00:05:51,360
Speaker 3: and leaving it there. You know, some people don't have

79
00:05:51,520 --> 00:05:54,480
Speaker 3: money for therapy. Some people don't even know who to

80
00:05:54,560 --> 00:05:59,279
Speaker 3: call for therapy. God is the best psychologist in the world.

81
00:05:59,760 --> 00:06:02,760
Speaker 3: He can fix it for you. There is nothing too

82
00:06:02,920 --> 00:06:06,839
Speaker 3: hard for God. You know when something seems impossible, y'all,

83
00:06:07,000 --> 00:06:10,840
Speaker 3: God does the impossible all the time every day. You

84
00:06:10,920 --> 00:06:11,640
Speaker 3: won't know how I know.

85
00:06:12,720 --> 00:06:14,920
Speaker 9: I just look at a couple basic things. Do you

86
00:06:15,040 --> 00:06:17,400
Speaker 9: know that that sun comes up every day in the morning.

87
00:06:17,760 --> 00:06:19,760
Speaker 9: It comes up in the east and it sets in

88
00:06:19,839 --> 00:06:23,560
Speaker 9: the west. You can't do nothing about that. All you

89
00:06:23,640 --> 00:06:26,480
Speaker 9: can you can wish, because you plant your flowers on

90
00:06:26,520 --> 00:06:27,359
Speaker 9: a certain side.

91
00:06:27,200 --> 00:06:29,359
Speaker 3: Of your house. You can wish all you want. Then

92
00:06:29,480 --> 00:06:31,240
Speaker 3: maybe one day he would bring it up out the

93
00:06:31,360 --> 00:06:34,720
Speaker 3: northwest so those flowers would no Now it's gonna come

94
00:06:34,800 --> 00:06:38,200
Speaker 3: up out the east, and once the sun hits the

95
00:06:38,279 --> 00:06:40,600
Speaker 3: horizon when you look in the water, like if you

96
00:06:40,680 --> 00:06:43,400
Speaker 3: ever out in La and you see the sun going down.

97
00:06:43,600 --> 00:06:46,159
Speaker 3: Once the sun once you can visually see the sun

98
00:06:46,600 --> 00:06:51,040
Speaker 3: touching the horizon, you have three minutes. You have exactly

99
00:06:51,120 --> 00:06:52,880
Speaker 3: three minutes. You can sit there with your watch, you

100
00:06:52,960 --> 00:06:57,200
Speaker 3: can time. Yeah, three minutes and it's gone. Three minutes

101
00:06:57,279 --> 00:07:00,160
Speaker 3: is gone. I read that somewhere and then I went

102
00:07:00,200 --> 00:07:04,680
Speaker 3: and tried it. It's gone every day if it's clear enough,

103
00:07:04,880 --> 00:07:08,680
Speaker 3: not cloudy. Once the sun touches the horizon. On water,

104
00:07:09,080 --> 00:07:12,920
Speaker 3: you got three minutes. When the wind blows, you can't

105
00:07:12,960 --> 00:07:15,920
Speaker 3: do nothing about it. He can bring it from the northeast,

106
00:07:16,000 --> 00:07:17,280
Speaker 3: he can bring it from the west, he can bring

107
00:07:17,400 --> 00:07:19,800
Speaker 3: from south. He can bring it hard, he can bring

108
00:07:19,880 --> 00:07:22,360
Speaker 3: it cool, he can bring it hot. It's certain things

109
00:07:22,400 --> 00:07:25,960
Speaker 3: that God does the impossible all the time. How those

110
00:07:26,000 --> 00:07:30,200
Speaker 3: stars sitting up there, How can you find these constellations?

111
00:07:30,280 --> 00:07:33,200
Speaker 3: The big dipp of the Little Dipper, Ryan the Hunter, Oh,

112
00:07:33,280 --> 00:07:35,240
Speaker 3: that's God. God. Ain't nothing you can do about it.

113
00:07:35,680 --> 00:07:38,200
Speaker 3: You can't reach them stars, you can't shoot at them,

114
00:07:38,240 --> 00:07:40,600
Speaker 3: you can't move them out the way. Or Ryan the

115
00:07:40,680 --> 00:07:43,080
Speaker 3: Hunter's belt, there's gonna beat them three stars out of ankle.

116
00:07:43,560 --> 00:07:45,120
Speaker 3: You can call it what you want to call it.

117
00:07:45,280 --> 00:07:47,920
Speaker 3: Still that's what it is. See, He does the impossible

118
00:07:48,000 --> 00:07:52,040
Speaker 3: all the time. He created heaven and earth. You're saying

119
00:07:52,720 --> 00:07:55,880
Speaker 3: that God can't get you through your past. Somebody did

120
00:07:56,080 --> 00:07:58,880
Speaker 3: this to me. It's the worst thing I had, the

121
00:07:58,960 --> 00:08:01,960
Speaker 3: worst childhood of it. God can't get you past that.

122
00:08:02,960 --> 00:08:06,840
Speaker 3: He can move Heaven, mountains, Earth, he can form the

123
00:08:06,920 --> 00:08:09,920
Speaker 3: Grand Canyon, he can make the water come over Niagara

124
00:08:09,960 --> 00:08:14,360
Speaker 3: Falls twenty four seven. He can't fix yo little bitty

125
00:08:14,480 --> 00:08:19,360
Speaker 3: past yours. It's amazing how people make their problems bigger

126
00:08:19,400 --> 00:08:23,520
Speaker 3: than God. Somebody told me one time, stop telling God

127
00:08:24,640 --> 00:08:29,000
Speaker 3: how big your problems are, and start telling your problems

128
00:08:29,240 --> 00:08:32,880
Speaker 3: how big God is, and go on with your life.

129
00:08:33,559 --> 00:08:36,800
Speaker 3: Quit driving your car looking in the rear view mirror.

130
00:08:37,200 --> 00:08:39,880
Speaker 3: Ain't nothing back there but your past. And if it

131
00:08:40,000 --> 00:08:43,439
Speaker 3: was hurtful or painful, or something you just felt like

132
00:08:43,559 --> 00:08:46,240
Speaker 3: you can't get over, take your problems to God.

133
00:08:46,120 --> 00:08:46,880
Speaker 2: And leave them there.

134
00:08:47,160 --> 00:08:49,559
Speaker 3: You hear the old spiritual all you've heard it, Take

135
00:08:49,600 --> 00:08:53,160
Speaker 3: your birdens to the Lord, leave them Yeah, all the time.

136
00:08:53,559 --> 00:08:57,520
Speaker 3: But you think that applies to everyone, But you come on, man,

137
00:08:58,240 --> 00:09:00,880
Speaker 3: A lot of people out there going through much worse

138
00:09:00,960 --> 00:09:04,120
Speaker 3: than you have and have overcome it all. Why won't

139
00:09:04,200 --> 00:09:07,000
Speaker 3: you take the step to overcome your past so you

140
00:09:07,040 --> 00:09:08,880
Speaker 3: can get on with driving your car and see what

141
00:09:09,040 --> 00:09:11,559
Speaker 3: God trying to take you. But it's a trick of

142
00:09:11,679 --> 00:09:15,280
Speaker 3: the enemy. The enemy tricks you from seeing your future

143
00:09:15,520 --> 00:09:19,520
Speaker 3: by having you constantly looking in your past. Man, it's

144
00:09:19,559 --> 00:09:21,839
Speaker 3: a trick of the devil. If the devil just let

145
00:09:21,920 --> 00:09:24,839
Speaker 3: you quit, if he would just let you get to

146
00:09:24,960 --> 00:09:27,520
Speaker 3: drive in your car, look out into your future. Your

147
00:09:27,880 --> 00:09:32,680
Speaker 3: future shows hopefulness. You have hope when you see the future.

148
00:09:33,480 --> 00:09:35,760
Speaker 3: But he can keep you in misery if he keep

00:10:07,040 --> 00:10:10,040
Speaker 3: special day to day. God has given us another gift

158
00:10:10,679 --> 00:10:14,439
Speaker 3: another Martin Luther King holiday. We hear Ford. We was

159
00:10:14,480 --> 00:10:17,120
Speaker 3: here last year and the year before that. I'm so

160
00:10:17,400 --> 00:10:20,120
Speaker 3: glad I live to see another one man one of

161
00:10:20,200 --> 00:10:24,320
Speaker 3: the greatest leaders of our time. We celebrate him today,

162
00:10:24,840 --> 00:10:28,000
Speaker 3: one of the truly greatest leaders we've ever had. He's

163
00:10:28,080 --> 00:10:31,480
Speaker 3: done more for us in terms of rights and positions

164
00:10:31,559 --> 00:10:35,319
Speaker 3: and awareness than any other leader we've ever had in

165
00:10:35,480 --> 00:10:38,360
Speaker 3: terms of the civil rights movement and for us as

166
00:10:38,400 --> 00:10:42,120
Speaker 3: black people. In my opinion, there are others, and I'm

167
00:10:42,200 --> 00:10:44,360
Speaker 3: not shading them at all because we need a whole

168
00:10:44,440 --> 00:10:48,160
Speaker 3: collective effort. But Martin Luther King, hats off to you,

00:11:22,640 --> 00:11:23,600
Speaker 4: Of course, the most.

182
00:11:23,480 --> 00:11:25,400
Speaker 1: Famous one the I have a dream speech.

00:11:25,800 --> 00:11:29,800
Speaker 4: We're gonna celebrate, We're gonna discuss Doctor King's legacy of peace.

184
00:11:30,559 --> 00:11:33,720
Speaker 4: So all morning long, we're gonna talk about social injustice,

185
00:11:34,160 --> 00:11:35,480
Speaker 4: community service.

186
00:11:35,480 --> 00:11:38,679
Speaker 1: And the importance of voting. Of course, in this an

187
00:11:38,760 --> 00:11:40,640
Speaker 1: election year, we've got.

188
00:11:40,520 --> 00:11:43,720
Speaker 3: To vote this year, y'all, listen to me. I got.

189
00:11:44,920 --> 00:11:49,599
Speaker 3: We don't have purely perfect candidates, but we clearly have

190
00:11:49,920 --> 00:11:52,640
Speaker 3: one that ain't got no business being president of no

191
00:11:52,920 --> 00:11:56,160
Speaker 3: kind of country. And that's the Republican option that they

192
00:11:56,280 --> 00:11:58,599
Speaker 3: keep trying to present to us as okay, and his

193
00:11:58,760 --> 00:12:01,920
Speaker 3: name is Donald Trump. You've got to be kidding me, now,

194
00:12:01,920 --> 00:12:04,200
Speaker 3: I got. You may not be happy with the current

195
00:12:04,440 --> 00:12:07,880
Speaker 3: of administration, but understand what they're up against. Now, we

196
00:12:08,000 --> 00:12:09,720
Speaker 3: still got to go through the House and the Senate

197
00:12:09,800 --> 00:12:12,480
Speaker 3: to pass bills. And you know, the opposition is real,

198
00:12:12,960 --> 00:12:15,959
Speaker 3: and that one job doing any election your time, is

199
00:12:16,000 --> 00:12:17,840
Speaker 3: to make the other party look as bad as they

200
00:12:17,920 --> 00:12:21,319
Speaker 3: possibly can, so they stop all this ignorant foolishness about

201
00:12:21,400 --> 00:12:24,800
Speaker 3: you not voting for them, because this because if you

202
00:12:24,920 --> 00:12:27,480
Speaker 3: don't vote for them, it's to vote for Donald Trump.

203
00:12:27,720 --> 00:12:30,120
Speaker 3: And if you put Donald Trump in office again, he

204
00:12:30,240 --> 00:12:33,880
Speaker 3: finished show you something. He showed you something last time.

205
00:12:34,000 --> 00:12:35,960
Speaker 3: I don't know how you something believe, you know, man,

206
00:12:36,000 --> 00:12:39,280
Speaker 3: when you start banning Muslim countries, when you start talking

207
00:12:39,280 --> 00:12:43,560
Speaker 3: about closing that border, when you start talking about these

208
00:12:43,679 --> 00:12:46,559
Speaker 3: abortion rights and all this His stuff right here, man,

209
00:12:47,400 --> 00:12:49,640
Speaker 3: then that stuff you talking about they ain't got nothing

210
00:12:49,679 --> 00:12:52,679
Speaker 3: to do with the Lord. Y'all keep masking this as

211
00:12:53,080 --> 00:12:55,000
Speaker 3: a religious reason, But that ain't got nothing to do

212
00:12:55,080 --> 00:12:58,440
Speaker 3: with God. You know. You know that they talking about

213
00:12:58,559 --> 00:13:01,400
Speaker 3: passing a bill where if you have an abortion, you

214
00:13:01,520 --> 00:13:07,280
Speaker 3: get the death penalty. Do you know that they're discussing that, y'all?

215
00:13:07,320 --> 00:13:09,720
Speaker 3: Do you know how dangerous that is? See, first of all,

216
00:13:09,840 --> 00:13:12,200
Speaker 3: how can you be pro life and be talking about

217
00:13:12,240 --> 00:13:14,959
Speaker 3: the death penalty? Make your mind up? Now you got

218
00:13:15,000 --> 00:13:17,160
Speaker 3: to care about the unborn and the born if you're

219
00:13:17,160 --> 00:13:19,720
Speaker 3: gonna be pro life, make up your mind.

220
00:13:21,640 --> 00:13:22,760
Speaker 1: And after they grow up.

221
00:13:23,040 --> 00:13:28,560
Speaker 4: Yeah, so yeah, that's what we'll be discussing all morning.

222
00:13:29,440 --> 00:13:34,239
Speaker 4: Doctor King's message went beyond racism. You also talked about stereotypes.

223
00:13:33,840 --> 00:13:38,680
Speaker 1: Poverty, privilege. Doctor King was a courageous leader of all people.

224
00:13:38,840 --> 00:13:41,520
Speaker 4: So we say to you, Happy King Day, and coming

225
00:13:41,640 --> 00:13:44,240
Speaker 4: up more of the Steve Harvey Morning Show on this

226
00:13:44,480 --> 00:13:45,240
Speaker 4: King Holiday.

227
00:13:45,400 --> 00:13:50,320
Speaker 1: Right after this you're listening Harvey Morning Show right now.

228
00:13:50,400 --> 00:13:52,959
Speaker 3: Here's the drum major stick speech on the Steve Harvey

229
00:13:53,000 --> 00:13:53,760
Speaker 3: Morning Show.

230
00:13:53,679 --> 00:13:57,400
Speaker 2: And instinct. It's a kind of drum major instinct.

231
00:13:57,960 --> 00:14:01,760
Speaker 8: A desire to be out front, a desire to lead

232
00:14:01,840 --> 00:14:07,000
Speaker 8: the parade, a desire to be first. It is something

233
00:14:07,080 --> 00:14:09,959
Speaker 8: that runs a whole gamut of life.

234
00:14:10,640 --> 00:14:11,800
Speaker 2: And so before we.

235
00:14:13,120 --> 00:14:16,640
Speaker 8: Condemn them, let us see that we all have the

236
00:14:16,800 --> 00:14:18,079
Speaker 8: drum mate instinct.

237
00:14:19,320 --> 00:14:21,280
Speaker 3: We all want to be.

238
00:14:21,360 --> 00:14:30,560
Speaker 8: Important, to surpass others, to achieve distinction, to lead the parade.

239
00:14:31,440 --> 00:14:36,800
Speaker 8: Alfred Adler the Great, a psychoanalyst, contends that this is

240
00:14:36,960 --> 00:14:42,280
Speaker 8: the dominant impulse. Sigmund Fraud used to contend that sex

241
00:14:42,520 --> 00:14:46,200
Speaker 8: was the dominant impulse, and Adler came with a new argument,

242
00:14:46,280 --> 00:14:51,280
Speaker 8: saying that this quest for recognition, this desire for attention,

243
00:14:53,080 --> 00:15:00,880
Speaker 8: this desire for distinction, is the basic impulse, the basic

244
00:15:01,040 --> 00:15:08,200
Speaker 8: drive of human human life, this drum major instinct. And

245
00:15:08,320 --> 00:15:11,080
Speaker 8: you know we begin earlier to ask life to put

246
00:15:11,160 --> 00:15:18,280
Speaker 8: us first. Our first cry as a baby was a

247
00:15:18,440 --> 00:15:24,360
Speaker 8: bid for attention, and all through childhood the drum major

248
00:15:25,280 --> 00:15:33,520
Speaker 8: impulse are instinct is a major obsession. Children ask life

249
00:15:34,800 --> 00:15:40,040
Speaker 8: to grant them first place they are a little bundle

250
00:15:40,160 --> 00:15:51,520
Speaker 8: of ego they have innately the drum major instinct. Now

251
00:15:51,640 --> 00:15:55,200
Speaker 8: an adult life, we still have it, and we really

252
00:15:55,360 --> 00:16:00,440
Speaker 8: never forget by it. We like to do something good,

253
00:16:01,880 --> 00:16:05,720
Speaker 8: and you know, we like to be praised for it. Now,

254
00:16:05,760 --> 00:16:10,080
Speaker 8: if you don't believe that, you just go on living life,

255
00:16:10,120 --> 00:16:13,040
Speaker 8: and you will discover very soon that you like to

256
00:16:13,120 --> 00:16:13,840
Speaker 8: be praised.

257
00:16:15,760 --> 00:16:18,160
Speaker 2: Everybody likes it as a matter of fact.

258
00:16:20,000 --> 00:16:23,600
Speaker 8: And somehow this warm glow we feel when we are

259
00:16:23,760 --> 00:16:28,840
Speaker 8: praised or when our name is in print, is something

260
00:16:29,200 --> 00:16:35,840
Speaker 8: of the vitamin aid to our ego. Nobody is unhappy

261
00:16:36,720 --> 00:16:39,200
Speaker 8: when they are praised, even if they.

262
00:16:39,240 --> 00:16:41,560
Speaker 2: Know they don't deserve it, and even if they don't

263
00:16:41,600 --> 00:16:42,000
Speaker 2: believe it.

264
00:16:43,440 --> 00:16:46,720
Speaker 8: The only unhappy people about praise is when that praise

265
00:16:47,120 --> 00:16:52,800
Speaker 8: is going too much towards somebody else. But everybody likes

266
00:16:52,920 --> 00:16:58,960
Speaker 8: to be praised because of this real drum major instinct.

267
00:17:00,160 --> 00:17:02,840
Speaker 8: Do you know that a lot of the race problem

268
00:17:03,000 --> 00:17:08,119
Speaker 8: grows out of the drum major instinct? A need that

269
00:17:08,320 --> 00:17:15,200
Speaker 8: some people have to feel superior, A need that some

270
00:17:15,400 --> 00:17:19,560
Speaker 8: people have to feel that they are first, and to

271
00:17:19,720 --> 00:17:24,679
Speaker 8: feel that their white skin ordain them to be first.

272
00:17:25,400 --> 00:17:26,640
Speaker 8: Let's explain that they.

273
00:17:28,960 --> 00:17:33,040
Speaker 2: Have said over and over the game in ways that

274
00:17:33,840 --> 00:17:36,600
Speaker 2: we see with our own eyes.

275
00:17:36,720 --> 00:17:39,560
Speaker 8: In fact, not too long ago, a man down in

276
00:17:39,680 --> 00:17:44,040
Speaker 8: Mississippi said that God was a charter member of the

277
00:17:44,119 --> 00:17:50,639
Speaker 8: White Citizens' Council. And so God being the charter member

278
00:17:50,760 --> 00:17:55,600
Speaker 8: means that everybody who's in that has a kind of divinity,

279
00:17:55,680 --> 00:17:59,399
Speaker 8: a kind of superiority. And think of what has happened

280
00:17:59,440 --> 00:18:04,720
Speaker 8: in history as a result of this perverted use of

281
00:18:04,840 --> 00:18:09,800
Speaker 8: the drummage instinct led to the most tragic prejudice, the

282
00:18:09,920 --> 00:18:12,760
Speaker 8: most tragic expressions of man's.

283
00:18:12,600 --> 00:18:13,720
Speaker 2: In humanity to man.

284
00:18:15,720 --> 00:18:19,320
Speaker 8: And not only does this thing go into the racial struggle,

285
00:18:20,600 --> 00:18:25,679
Speaker 8: goes into the struggle between nations. And I would submit

286
00:18:25,760 --> 00:18:28,080
Speaker 8: to you this morning that what is wrong in the

287
00:18:28,160 --> 00:18:30,639
Speaker 8: world today is that the nations of the world engaged

288
00:18:30,680 --> 00:18:36,920
Speaker 8: in a bitter, colossal contest for supremacy, and some doesn't

289
00:18:37,000 --> 00:18:42,000
Speaker 8: have them to stop this trend. I'm sorely afraid that

290
00:18:42,160 --> 00:18:45,240
Speaker 8: we won't be here to talk about Jesus Christ and

291
00:18:45,320 --> 00:18:51,560
Speaker 8: about God and about brotherhood two mini more years. Is

292
00:18:51,720 --> 00:18:56,800
Speaker 8: somebody done bringing in to this suicidal thrust that we

293
00:18:56,920 --> 00:19:00,760
Speaker 8: see in the world today, None of us.

294
00:19:00,720 --> 00:19:02,760
Speaker 2: Are gonna be around because.

295
00:19:02,560 --> 00:19:06,960
Speaker 8: Somebody is gonna make the mistake through our senseless blunderings,

296
00:19:07,240 --> 00:19:10,600
Speaker 8: of dropping a nuclear bomb somewhere and then another one

297
00:19:10,720 --> 00:19:15,680
Speaker 8: is gonna drop. And don't let anybody fool you. This

298
00:19:15,920 --> 00:19:19,120
Speaker 8: can happen within a matter of seconds. They have twenty

299
00:19:19,200 --> 00:19:23,280
Speaker 8: megaton bombs in Russia right now that can destroy a

300
00:19:23,440 --> 00:19:25,840
Speaker 8: city as big as New York in three seconds, with

301
00:19:26,040 --> 00:19:29,480
Speaker 8: everybody wiped away in every building. And we can do

302
00:19:29,600 --> 00:19:32,080
Speaker 8: the same thing to Russian China. But this is why

303
00:19:32,200 --> 00:19:36,560
Speaker 8: we are drifted, and we are drifting now because nations

304
00:19:36,600 --> 00:19:39,280
Speaker 8: are caught up with the drum major instinct.

305
00:19:39,600 --> 00:19:43,040
Speaker 2: I must be first, I must be supreme all. A

306
00:19:43,240 --> 00:19:44,760
Speaker 2: nation must rule the world.

307
00:19:45,720 --> 00:19:49,159
Speaker 8: And I am sad to say that the nation in

308
00:19:49,240 --> 00:19:54,600
Speaker 8: which we live is the supreme culprit. I'm gonna continue

309
00:19:54,680 --> 00:19:57,920
Speaker 8: to say it to America because I love.

310
00:19:57,800 --> 00:20:00,520
Speaker 2: This country too much to see the risk that it

311
00:20:00,600 --> 00:20:01,080
Speaker 2: has taken.

312
00:20:02,280 --> 00:20:05,639
Speaker 8: God didn't call America to do what she's doing in

313
00:20:05,680 --> 00:20:10,560
Speaker 8: the world now. God didn't call America to engage in

314
00:20:10,640 --> 00:20:15,840
Speaker 8: a senseless, unjust war as a war in Vietnam, and

315
00:20:16,000 --> 00:20:17,400
Speaker 8: we are criminals in that war.

316
00:20:17,520 --> 00:20:20,680
Speaker 2: We have committed more war crimes almost than any nation

317
00:20:20,840 --> 00:20:22,680
Speaker 2: in the world. And I'm going to continue to say it,

318
00:20:23,440 --> 00:20:24,280
Speaker 2: and we won't.

319
00:20:24,160 --> 00:20:29,160
Speaker 8: Stop it because of our pride and ourgan sells the nation.

320
00:20:29,840 --> 00:20:32,399
Speaker 2: But God has a way of even putting nations in

321
00:20:32,520 --> 00:20:33,320
Speaker 2: that place.

322
00:20:34,480 --> 00:20:39,800
Speaker 1: You're listening hard morning show, and so.

323
00:20:40,640 --> 00:20:44,200
Speaker 8: God being the child a member means that everybody who's

324
00:20:44,280 --> 00:20:49,360
Speaker 8: in that has a kind of divinity, a kind of superiority.

325
00:20:49,960 --> 00:20:52,440
Speaker 8: And think of what has happened in historism as a

326
00:20:52,520 --> 00:20:59,400
Speaker 8: result of this perverted use of the drummage instincts led

327
00:20:59,480 --> 00:21:04,720
Speaker 8: to the most tragic prejudice, the most tragic expressions of man's.

328
00:21:04,600 --> 00:21:05,680
Speaker 2: In humanity to man.

329
00:21:07,320 --> 00:21:10,960
Speaker 8: And not only does this thing go into the racial struggle,

330
00:21:12,640 --> 00:21:17,640
Speaker 8: it goes into the struggle between nations. And I would

331
00:21:17,680 --> 00:21:20,359
Speaker 8: submit to you this morning that what is wrong in

332
00:21:20,400 --> 00:21:22,399
Speaker 8: the world today is that the nations of the world

333
00:21:22,520 --> 00:21:28,840
Speaker 8: engaged in a bitter, colossal contest for supremacy. And if

334
00:21:28,920 --> 00:21:32,520
Speaker 8: some doesn't have them to stop this trend, I'm sorely

335
00:21:32,600 --> 00:21:37,320
Speaker 8: afraid that we won't be here to talk about Jesus

336
00:21:37,440 --> 00:21:41,639
Speaker 8: Christ and about God and about brotherhood too minimal years.

337
00:21:44,160 --> 00:21:49,440
Speaker 8: If somebody donet bringing in to this suicidal thrust that

338
00:21:49,560 --> 00:21:50,120
Speaker 8: we see.

339
00:21:49,960 --> 00:21:53,960
Speaker 2: In the world today, none of us are going to

340
00:21:54,000 --> 00:21:55,640
Speaker 2: be around because.

341
00:21:55,440 --> 00:21:59,680
Speaker 8: Somebody is going to make the mistake through our senseless blundering,

342
00:22:00,200 --> 00:22:03,600
Speaker 8: of dropping a nuclear bomb somewhere, and then another one

343
00:22:03,720 --> 00:22:07,720
Speaker 8: is gonna drop. And don't let anybody fool you. Oh,

344
00:22:08,720 --> 00:22:11,800
Speaker 8: this can happen within a matter of seconds. They have

345
00:22:12,000 --> 00:22:16,360
Speaker 8: twenty megaton bombs in Russia right now that can destroy

346
00:22:16,440 --> 00:22:18,960
Speaker 8: a city as big as New York in three seconds,

347
00:22:19,040 --> 00:22:21,680
Speaker 8: with everybody right away in every building.

348
00:22:22,119 --> 00:22:24,399
Speaker 2: And we can do the same thing to Russian China.

349
00:22:24,680 --> 00:22:26,760
Speaker 2: But this is why we are drifted, and we are

350
00:22:26,880 --> 00:22:27,840
Speaker 2: drifting there.

351
00:22:28,720 --> 00:22:32,720
Speaker 8: Because nations are caught up with the drum major instinct.

352
00:22:33,040 --> 00:22:36,560
Speaker 2: I must be first, I must be supreme all. A

353
00:22:36,720 --> 00:22:38,240
Speaker 2: nation must rule the world.

354
00:22:39,240 --> 00:22:42,720
Speaker 8: And I am sad to say that the nation in

355
00:22:42,840 --> 00:22:47,720
Speaker 8: which we live is the supreme culprit. Now I'm gonna

356
00:22:47,800 --> 00:22:51,560
Speaker 8: continue to say it to America because I love this

357
00:22:51,760 --> 00:22:54,119
Speaker 8: country too much to see the drift that.

358
00:22:54,200 --> 00:22:54,840
Speaker 2: It has taken.

359
00:22:56,040 --> 00:22:59,440
Speaker 8: God didn't call America to do what she's doing in

360
00:22:59,480 --> 00:23:04,440
Speaker 8: the world, Richie. God didn't call America to engage in

361
00:23:04,520 --> 00:23:09,800
Speaker 8: a senseless, unjust war as a war in Vietnam, and

362
00:23:09,960 --> 00:23:12,520
Speaker 8: we are criminals in that war. We have committed more

363
00:23:12,840 --> 00:23:15,399
Speaker 8: war crimes almost than any nation in the world, and

364
00:23:15,480 --> 00:23:18,120
Speaker 8: I'm going to continue to say it, and we won't

365
00:23:18,240 --> 00:23:23,280
Speaker 8: stop it because of our pride. And I reconcis a nation.

366
00:23:23,960 --> 00:23:26,600
Speaker 8: But God has a way of even putting nations in

367
00:23:26,720 --> 00:23:30,320
Speaker 8: that place. The God that I worship has a way

368
00:23:30,359 --> 00:23:32,320
Speaker 8: of saying, don't play with me.

369
00:23:35,320 --> 00:23:38,879
Speaker 2: He has a way of saying. He's a god of

370
00:23:38,960 --> 00:23:43,000
Speaker 2: the Old Testament used to say the Hebrews.

371
00:23:42,600 --> 00:23:47,000
Speaker 8: Don't play with me, Israel. Don't play with me, Babylon,

372
00:23:48,320 --> 00:23:49,160
Speaker 8: be stealing.

373
00:23:49,320 --> 00:23:50,760
Speaker 5: Know that I'm God.

374
00:23:52,600 --> 00:23:55,680
Speaker 2: If you don't stop your reckless cross our rise up.

375
00:23:55,880 --> 00:24:00,960
Speaker 8: And break the backbone of your power, that can happen

376
00:24:01,080 --> 00:24:04,680
Speaker 8: to America. Every nine then I go back and read

377
00:24:04,760 --> 00:24:07,680
Speaker 8: Gibbons Decline and fall of the Roman Empire.

378
00:24:08,320 --> 00:24:09,880
Speaker 2: And when I come and look.

379
00:24:09,720 --> 00:24:13,880
Speaker 8: At America, I say to myself, the parallels are frightening.

380
00:24:15,560 --> 00:24:22,639
Speaker 8: We have perverted the drum maid's instinct. Every nine and then,

381
00:24:22,760 --> 00:24:28,160
Speaker 8: I guess we all think realistically, yes, about that day

382
00:24:28,400 --> 00:24:33,119
Speaker 8: when we will be victimized with what is life's final

383
00:24:33,440 --> 00:24:42,080
Speaker 8: common denominator. That's something we call death. We all think

384
00:24:42,160 --> 00:24:44,119
Speaker 8: about it. And every nine and then I think about

385
00:24:45,240 --> 00:24:48,400
Speaker 8: my own death, and I think about my own funeral,

386
00:24:48,840 --> 00:24:50,760
Speaker 8: and I don't think of it in a morbid sense.

387
00:24:52,640 --> 00:24:56,840
Speaker 8: Every nine then I ask myself, what is it that

388
00:24:56,960 --> 00:25:00,119
Speaker 8: I would want say? And I leave the word to

389
00:25:00,240 --> 00:25:05,320
Speaker 8: you this morning. Get any of you around when I

390
00:25:05,600 --> 00:25:08,760
Speaker 8: have to meet my day. I don't want a long funeral.

391
00:25:11,119 --> 00:25:13,959
Speaker 2: And if you get somebody to deliver the unager, tell

392
00:25:14,040 --> 00:25:15,400
Speaker 2: him not to talk to now.

393
00:25:16,840 --> 00:25:19,040
Speaker 8: And every nine and then I wonder, well I want

394
00:25:19,080 --> 00:25:19,520
Speaker 8: them to say.

395
00:25:19,640 --> 00:25:22,199
Speaker 2: Tell them not to mention that I have a nobel

396
00:25:22,359 --> 00:25:24,000
Speaker 2: peace pride. That isn't important.

397
00:25:25,200 --> 00:25:27,920
Speaker 8: Tell them not to mention that I have three or

398
00:25:27,960 --> 00:25:30,600
Speaker 8: four hundred other awards, that's not important.

399
00:25:30,680 --> 00:25:32,639
Speaker 2: Tell them not to mention where I went to school.

400
00:25:34,280 --> 00:25:38,640
Speaker 8: I like somebody to mention that day, then Martin Luther

401
00:25:38,880 --> 00:25:44,160
Speaker 8: King Junior tried to give his life serving others. I'd

402
00:25:44,320 --> 00:25:47,720
Speaker 8: like for somebody to say that day that Martin Luther

403
00:25:47,920 --> 00:25:51,800
Speaker 8: King Junior tried to live. Somebody, I want you to

404
00:25:51,880 --> 00:25:54,760
Speaker 8: say that day that I tried to be right on

405
00:25:54,960 --> 00:25:55,800
Speaker 8: the wall question.

406
00:25:56,680 --> 00:25:59,200
Speaker 2: I want you to be able to say that day

407
00:25:59,640 --> 00:26:02,719
Speaker 2: that I did try to feed the Humerab.

408
00:26:03,400 --> 00:26:05,440
Speaker 8: I want you to be able to say that day

409
00:26:05,760 --> 00:26:09,440
Speaker 8: that I did try in my life to call those

410
00:26:09,600 --> 00:26:12,000
Speaker 8: who were neked. I want you to say on that

411
00:26:12,160 --> 00:26:15,240
Speaker 8: day that I did trial in my life to visit

412
00:26:15,320 --> 00:26:16,960
Speaker 8: those who were imprisoned.

413
00:26:17,800 --> 00:26:20,840
Speaker 2: I want you to say that I tried to love

414
00:26:21,520 --> 00:26:23,119
Speaker 2: and serve humanity.

415
00:26:24,040 --> 00:26:26,040
Speaker 8: Yes, if you want to say that I was a

416
00:26:26,160 --> 00:26:30,080
Speaker 8: drum major, say that I was a drum major for justice,

417
00:26:30,920 --> 00:26:34,000
Speaker 8: Say that I was a drum major for peace. I

418
00:26:34,160 --> 00:26:37,359
Speaker 8: was a drum major for righteousness. And all of the

419
00:26:37,480 --> 00:26:41,880
Speaker 8: other shallow things will nothing matter. I won't have any

420
00:26:42,040 --> 00:26:46,920
Speaker 8: money to leave behind, I won't have the fine and

421
00:26:47,119 --> 00:26:50,240
Speaker 8: luxurious things of life to leave behind. But I just

422
00:26:50,440 --> 00:26:54,640
Speaker 8: want to leave or committed life behind, and that's all

423
00:26:54,840 --> 00:26:55,520
Speaker 8: I want to say.

424
00:26:55,800 --> 00:26:57,800
Speaker 2: If I can help somebody.

425
00:26:58,359 --> 00:27:02,440
Speaker 8: As I pass along, if I can share somebody with

426
00:27:02,600 --> 00:27:06,000
Speaker 8: a word a song, if I can show somebody he's

427
00:27:06,080 --> 00:27:09,840
Speaker 8: traveling wrong, then my living will.

428
00:27:09,800 --> 00:27:10,919
Speaker 2: Not be invaded.

429
00:27:11,600 --> 00:27:14,000
Speaker 8: If I can do my duty as a Christian art,

430
00:27:14,400 --> 00:27:18,640
Speaker 8: if I can bring salvation to a wall who once wrong,

431
00:27:18,760 --> 00:27:22,440
Speaker 8: if I can spread the message as the master Taut,

432
00:27:23,400 --> 00:27:26,720
Speaker 8: then my living will not be invaded.

433
00:27:27,720 --> 00:27:30,400
Speaker 1: You're listening Hard Morning Show.

434
00:27:32,720 --> 00:27:36,240
Speaker 4: Today's MLK Day. It is a day of service. Reverend

435
00:27:36,280 --> 00:27:39,800
Speaker 4: Doctor Martin Luther King, Junior devoted his life to service

436
00:27:40,000 --> 00:27:43,639
Speaker 4: and fighting for civil rights and freedom. Doctor King had

437
00:27:43,680 --> 00:27:48,399
Speaker 4: a pursuit for racial, social and economic justice, and Steve,

438
00:27:48,520 --> 00:27:51,280
Speaker 4: I got to ask you this question. You know, you

439
00:27:51,440 --> 00:27:53,719
Speaker 4: talk about this a lot. You talked about it earlier

440
00:27:53,800 --> 00:27:56,800
Speaker 4: this morning. You've been through a lot growing up. So

441
00:27:57,000 --> 00:28:00,600
Speaker 4: how have you learned to deal with racism? How have

442
00:28:00,720 --> 00:28:01,520
Speaker 4: you dealt with it?

443
00:28:02,800 --> 00:28:07,480
Speaker 3: I mean, look, I mean pretty much like most people.

444
00:28:07,560 --> 00:28:10,680
Speaker 3: I mean, I'm angry about it. I don't I don't

445
00:28:10,800 --> 00:28:14,399
Speaker 3: understand what's taking so long. It just it doesn't make

446
00:28:14,400 --> 00:28:19,000
Speaker 3: any sense to me. It's it's actually pathetic. Why is

447
00:28:19,040 --> 00:28:22,760
Speaker 3: it that people of color are still asking for equality,

448
00:28:23,680 --> 00:28:28,480
Speaker 3: which seems like we're asking it from from somebody that's

449
00:28:28,520 --> 00:28:32,320
Speaker 3: not willing to give it. I mean, it's just obviously

450
00:28:32,640 --> 00:28:34,840
Speaker 3: that there are people who are set in their ways,

451
00:28:35,520 --> 00:28:40,360
Speaker 3: and it's frustrating. Now we Even with that said, I

452
00:28:40,480 --> 00:28:44,080
Speaker 3: have devoted myself to being the best person that I

453
00:28:44,240 --> 00:28:47,440
Speaker 3: can be, to elevate myself as high as I can,

454
00:28:47,800 --> 00:28:51,440
Speaker 3: but not only elevate myself, stick my hand back down

455
00:28:51,480 --> 00:28:53,800
Speaker 3: the wall and bring up as many people as I can,

456
00:28:54,280 --> 00:28:58,680
Speaker 3: thus my foundation, thus my ranch, thus me trying to

457
00:28:58,840 --> 00:29:04,040
Speaker 3: promote young people, thus helping people. I'm constantly looking for

458
00:29:04,320 --> 00:29:10,000
Speaker 3: ways to uplift the the the oppressed, the downtrodden people,

459
00:29:10,800 --> 00:29:13,720
Speaker 3: and and and that carries over into all people too.

460
00:29:14,280 --> 00:29:16,240
Speaker 3: And that's what's been crazy about it.

461
00:29:16,360 --> 00:29:16,560
Speaker 4: Man.

462
00:29:17,120 --> 00:29:21,000
Speaker 3: I'm willing to help all people. Now, do I have

463
00:29:21,160 --> 00:29:26,480
Speaker 3: a special affinity and do I target mostly uh, people

464
00:29:26,560 --> 00:29:29,360
Speaker 3: of color? Yeah? Yeah, I do that. And I was

465
00:29:29,440 --> 00:29:31,400
Speaker 3: talking to one guy one day and he said, well,

466
00:29:32,200 --> 00:29:35,360
Speaker 3: how can you just target them? I said, well, that's

467
00:29:35,440 --> 00:29:39,120
Speaker 3: where I see the most need. I see the most

468
00:29:39,320 --> 00:29:43,000
Speaker 3: need in people of color and oppressed people. So I'm

469
00:29:43,080 --> 00:29:47,160
Speaker 3: targeting my efforts. I said, you know, look, it's all

470
00:29:47,280 --> 00:29:50,400
Speaker 3: types of people come to the camp. Anybody can come

471
00:29:50,440 --> 00:29:53,680
Speaker 3: to the camp here. Asians are oppressed, they walcome at

472
00:29:53,720 --> 00:29:55,840
Speaker 3: the camp. All Latinos come to my camp. They were

473
00:29:56,400 --> 00:30:00,120
Speaker 3: I got white kids come to the camp. Yeah, you know,

474
00:30:00,320 --> 00:30:01,360
Speaker 3: I got all of them.

475
00:30:02,640 --> 00:30:03,280
Speaker 1: Diversity.

476
00:30:03,880 --> 00:30:07,920
Speaker 3: But you know, you can't get mad at me because

477
00:30:08,000 --> 00:30:10,680
Speaker 3: I know where the greater need is and I can

478
00:30:10,880 --> 00:30:15,959
Speaker 3: see it more obviously, and it's my obligation because if

479
00:30:16,000 --> 00:30:19,840
Speaker 3: the government not gonna do it, and they're trying to

480
00:30:19,920 --> 00:30:22,400
Speaker 3: cut state funding and they're not gonna do it, well,

481
00:30:22,480 --> 00:30:25,080
Speaker 3: let's just look at this right here. For example, let's

482
00:30:25,160 --> 00:30:28,240
Speaker 3: just look at the education disparity in this country. Why

483
00:30:28,280 --> 00:30:32,240
Speaker 3: do we have an educational disparity? Because the money on

484
00:30:32,360 --> 00:30:35,080
Speaker 3: the federal level that we pay in taxes and we

485
00:30:35,240 --> 00:30:39,800
Speaker 3: pay state taxes, local taxes, it all goes into a fund. Now,

486
00:30:39,960 --> 00:30:44,040
Speaker 3: the areas that pay the most funds into the state

487
00:30:44,560 --> 00:30:47,600
Speaker 3: taxes or the federal taxes are the places that receive

488
00:30:48,000 --> 00:30:51,920
Speaker 3: the most money back. Poor places are not gonna have

489
00:30:52,280 --> 00:30:55,680
Speaker 3: as big a pool to pick from, so poor places

490
00:30:55,840 --> 00:31:01,800
Speaker 3: stay behind the eight ball. It's the system, they say up. See,

491
00:31:01,880 --> 00:31:06,600
Speaker 3: they set that system up, not me. So what should

492
00:31:06,680 --> 00:31:09,920
Speaker 3: be happening is we should as a country make sure

493
00:31:09,960 --> 00:31:13,560
Speaker 3: that all people have access to a quality education and

494
00:31:13,720 --> 00:31:17,800
Speaker 3: a free education. And that ain't the American way. That

495
00:31:17,880 --> 00:31:21,640
Speaker 3: ain't the American way. But that's why we're losing education

496
00:31:21,800 --> 00:31:26,080
Speaker 3: wise on the global level because other countries they don't.

497
00:31:26,120 --> 00:31:29,000
Speaker 3: They don't do it that way. We should all be

498
00:31:29,080 --> 00:31:30,840
Speaker 3: able to we make enough money in this country where

499
00:31:30,840 --> 00:31:35,560
Speaker 3: everybody should get free medical there's a business we don't

500
00:31:35,600 --> 00:31:40,719
Speaker 3: get that right. But this is the system they set up,

501
00:31:41,320 --> 00:31:44,760
Speaker 3: and the system is not set up and targeted for

502
00:31:44,920 --> 00:31:47,400
Speaker 3: the underprivileged or the oppressed.

503
00:31:48,120 --> 00:31:51,280
Speaker 1: Or the less fortunate. That's right, Steve so it's not set.

504
00:31:51,240 --> 00:31:53,760
Speaker 3: Up that way. So my obligation and my foundation is

505
00:31:53,840 --> 00:31:58,160
Speaker 3: for the less fortunate, the oppressed, the down trod, and

506
00:31:58,280 --> 00:32:00,640
Speaker 3: I go out of my way to see that that happens.

507
00:32:00,720 --> 00:32:04,360
Speaker 3: But you know we're gonna win. It's just sad that

508
00:32:04,520 --> 00:32:08,400
Speaker 3: it's taken so damn long. And is it pisses you off?

509
00:32:08,760 --> 00:32:11,400
Speaker 3: And I would say this to anybody who is not

510
00:32:12,600 --> 00:32:18,560
Speaker 3: of color? How long would you like to wait to

511
00:32:18,720 --> 00:32:23,280
Speaker 3: be treated equal? How much time you want to devote

512
00:32:24,000 --> 00:32:29,960
Speaker 3: to same treatment, equal pay, faanness in housing? How would

513
00:32:30,040 --> 00:32:32,960
Speaker 3: you like it if every time you cut on the

514
00:32:33,080 --> 00:32:37,000
Speaker 3: news the police was shooting somebody who looked like you?

515
00:32:38,320 --> 00:32:41,440
Speaker 3: How long? How long you want us to wait? I mean,

516
00:32:41,680 --> 00:32:44,760
Speaker 3: I'm listening, it can't be much. And I don't know

517
00:32:44,840 --> 00:32:47,520
Speaker 3: the white lady's name that ask that famous question to

518
00:32:47,600 --> 00:32:50,080
Speaker 3: a room full of white people who in here would

519
00:32:50,120 --> 00:32:54,720
Speaker 3: be willing to trade places with black people? Who was that?

520
00:32:54,920 --> 00:32:59,960
Speaker 1: Jane Elliott? Yeah, Jane, I think so, Jane Elliott.

521
00:33:00,560 --> 00:33:04,680
Speaker 3: And she says, because you know that they are being

522
00:33:04,760 --> 00:33:09,640
Speaker 3: treated unfairly, but nobody's doing anything about it. So we

523
00:33:09,760 --> 00:33:13,160
Speaker 3: have to do it ourselves. We have to do this ourselves.

524
00:33:13,680 --> 00:33:16,600
Speaker 3: We have to keep picking ourselves up. That o'll pull

525
00:33:16,680 --> 00:33:20,520
Speaker 3: yourself up by the bootstraps. Yeah, that's cool, except a

526
00:33:20,600 --> 00:33:22,640
Speaker 3: lot of people don't have the boots or the straps.

527
00:33:24,080 --> 00:33:25,760
Speaker 3: So you got to keep the faith, and we got

528
00:33:25,840 --> 00:33:27,280
Speaker 3: to reach back, and we got to help as many

529
00:33:27,320 --> 00:33:27,760
Speaker 3: as we can.

530
00:33:28,560 --> 00:33:31,080
Speaker 4: And it's so interesting that you ask the question, Steve,

531
00:33:31,240 --> 00:33:34,800
Speaker 4: how long because as we celebrate doctor Martin Luther King

532
00:33:34,920 --> 00:33:37,640
Speaker 4: that was in the sixties, that was in the sixties.

533
00:33:37,960 --> 00:33:40,880
Speaker 3: I ain't patient no more. I'm a lot of patience.

534
00:33:41,000 --> 00:33:43,920
Speaker 3: I'm done with you talking about waiting. I ain't waiting

535
00:33:44,000 --> 00:33:48,120
Speaker 3: no more. See, people don't hit the wall now. People,

536
00:33:48,240 --> 00:33:50,480
Speaker 3: whether you ain't gonna give me, we're gonna take it.

537
00:33:51,280 --> 00:33:55,000
Speaker 3: Been exhausted. I'm overwhelmed. I'm sick and tired of it,

538
00:33:56,280 --> 00:33:59,920
Speaker 3: and we are people of color are sick and tired

539
00:34:00,160 --> 00:34:02,200
Speaker 3: of it. And you would be true if it was

540
00:34:02,240 --> 00:34:03,880
Speaker 3: happening to you, but it ain't happening to you.

541
00:34:03,960 --> 00:34:04,400
Speaker 1: So you ain't.

542
00:34:06,280 --> 00:34:08,439
Speaker 4: That's right far And we'll have more of the Steve

543
00:34:08,520 --> 00:34:11,000
Speaker 4: Harvey Morning Show as we celebrate the life and legacy

544
00:34:11,040 --> 00:34:11,640
Speaker 4: of doctor.

545
00:34:11,440 --> 00:34:12,640
Speaker 1: Martin Luther King Jr.

546
00:34:13,000 --> 00:34:18,200
Speaker 4: Right after this, you're listening Harvey Morning Show, Well, we

547
00:34:18,239 --> 00:34:19,839
Speaker 4: got to say Happy King Day.

548
00:34:20,200 --> 00:34:24,320
Speaker 1: Today is MLK Day, and it's a day on, not

549
00:34:24,560 --> 00:34:25,359
Speaker 1: just a day off.

550
00:34:25,840 --> 00:34:28,239
Speaker 4: We want to remind everyone to try and participate in

551
00:34:28,320 --> 00:34:31,400
Speaker 4: some sort of community service in your community. You can

552
00:34:31,480 --> 00:34:34,880
Speaker 4: volunteer for an organization, you can donate to a cause

553
00:34:35,040 --> 00:34:37,440
Speaker 4: or a charity of your choice. All of us here

554
00:34:37,480 --> 00:34:39,400
Speaker 4: in the Steve Harvey Morning Show have causes that are

555
00:34:39,440 --> 00:34:43,120
Speaker 4: important to us. Mentoring young men from fatherless homes, helping

556
00:34:43,160 --> 00:34:48,560
Speaker 4: wounded veterans, breast cancer awareness, sickle cell awareness, domestic violence awareness.

557
00:34:48,840 --> 00:34:53,400
Speaker 4: Community service teaches you about empathy, It strengthens the community,

558
00:34:53,600 --> 00:34:57,239
Speaker 4: and it creates change. So here's a question, why is

559
00:34:57,360 --> 00:34:59,080
Speaker 4: it so important, Steve to give back?

560
00:34:59,360 --> 00:35:02,680
Speaker 3: Well, I it's a simple philosophy that I've learned. My

561
00:35:02,800 --> 00:35:06,000
Speaker 3: mother taught it to me. God blesses you to become

562
00:35:06,080 --> 00:35:09,880
Speaker 3: a blessing and in our community. Man, we should be

563
00:35:10,080 --> 00:35:14,319
Speaker 3: more in the uplift business anyway, because we need it. Man,

564
00:35:15,680 --> 00:35:18,880
Speaker 3: We need it because the powers that be have policies

565
00:35:19,000 --> 00:35:22,840
Speaker 3: in place to suppress us. So when we get in

566
00:35:22,920 --> 00:35:26,440
Speaker 3: a position we can ill afford to ignore the others

567
00:35:26,560 --> 00:35:30,799
Speaker 3: who are less fortunate. We have got to extend our hand.

568
00:35:31,280 --> 00:35:35,040
Speaker 3: He ain't heavy he's my brother. And that's what we

569
00:35:35,120 --> 00:35:39,600
Speaker 3: should be about, the uplift of our community, not the

570
00:35:39,800 --> 00:35:45,960
Speaker 3: destruction of it. We have got to stop bending and

571
00:35:46,160 --> 00:35:50,000
Speaker 3: lending our ear to those who are determined and hell

572
00:35:50,160 --> 00:35:54,719
Speaker 3: bent to destroy the black culture, especially when we do

573
00:35:54,880 --> 00:35:55,839
Speaker 3: it to ourselves.

574
00:35:57,040 --> 00:35:58,040
Speaker 1: Are we crazy?

575
00:35:58,680 --> 00:36:00,800
Speaker 3: Man? We cheer for each other to get where we go,

576
00:36:00,920 --> 00:36:03,239
Speaker 3: and then when they get there, the jealousy of them

577
00:36:03,320 --> 00:36:06,480
Speaker 3: being there becomes too much. We should be in the

578
00:36:06,640 --> 00:36:10,880
Speaker 3: uplift business of one another. That's what Callers Foundation is

579
00:36:10,920 --> 00:36:14,719
Speaker 3: about with breast cancer awareness. That's what domestic violence is

580
00:36:14,840 --> 00:36:17,560
Speaker 3: well with Sherley, That's what the Wounded Warriors is about

581
00:36:18,040 --> 00:36:22,600
Speaker 3: with Tommy. That's why kir fights so hard to bring

582
00:36:22,680 --> 00:36:26,480
Speaker 3: awareness to what's happening to so many African Americans with

583
00:36:26,600 --> 00:36:29,920
Speaker 3: this disease that they don't put enough money behind, they

584
00:36:30,040 --> 00:36:32,680
Speaker 3: don't put enough research behind, because it's us.

585
00:36:33,960 --> 00:36:34,160
Speaker 2: See.

586
00:36:34,239 --> 00:36:37,520
Speaker 3: So we've all committed ourselves to a level of uplift

587
00:36:37,800 --> 00:36:41,760
Speaker 3: and that's what it's about, not the destruction of the culture.

588
00:36:42,239 --> 00:36:45,840
Speaker 3: We have got to do that. Martin Luther King's whole

589
00:36:45,960 --> 00:36:50,520
Speaker 3: life was about service. That's what you remember about him.

590
00:36:50,760 --> 00:36:52,680
Speaker 3: Now some people want to come out and talk about

591
00:36:52,680 --> 00:36:54,960
Speaker 3: the negative that he did. He's a human being. He's

592
00:36:54,960 --> 00:36:57,279
Speaker 3: a human being. You will do that all day long.

593
00:36:57,560 --> 00:37:00,400
Speaker 3: But once again, y'all, if you pay attention into it,

594
00:37:01,000 --> 00:37:04,760
Speaker 3: they took thirty second sound bites to get rid of Jesus.

595
00:37:06,000 --> 00:37:09,000
Speaker 3: You could take a thirty second sound bite and get

596
00:37:09,120 --> 00:37:13,680
Speaker 3: rid of anybody. Wow. But stay in the uplift business

597
00:37:13,800 --> 00:37:17,879
Speaker 3: because that's what we are here for. Service to our

598
00:37:18,040 --> 00:37:20,520
Speaker 3: brothers and sisters. That's what it's about.

599
00:37:21,239 --> 00:37:23,799
Speaker 1: Maybe that's right, Steve Keeper positive.

600
00:37:24,560 --> 00:37:26,439
Speaker 4: All right, we'll be back with more of a Steve

601
00:37:26,480 --> 00:37:29,359
Speaker 4: Harvey Morning Show on this Martin Luther King Holiday right

602
00:37:29,440 --> 00:37:34,759
Speaker 4: after this. You're listening Steve Harvey Morning Show. The late

603
00:37:34,800 --> 00:37:38,239
Speaker 4: great Civil Rights icon. State Representative John Lewis spoke at

604
00:37:38,280 --> 00:37:41,640
Speaker 4: the March on Washington back in nineteen sixty three, and

605
00:37:41,880 --> 00:37:45,720
Speaker 4: then he spoke at the fiftieth anniversary March on Washington

606
00:37:45,880 --> 00:37:47,719
Speaker 4: back in two thy fifteen.

607
00:37:48,280 --> 00:37:51,040
Speaker 1: Take a listen fifty.

608
00:37:51,000 --> 00:37:58,040
Speaker 10: Years ago, fifty years ago, I stood right here in

609
00:37:58,160 --> 00:38:02,400
Speaker 10: this spot, twenty three years old, had all of my

610
00:38:02,640 --> 00:38:06,879
Speaker 10: hair and a few pounds like. So I come back

611
00:38:06,960 --> 00:38:13,919
Speaker 10: here again, just said at those days, for the most part,

612
00:38:15,320 --> 00:38:17,360
Speaker 10: are gone, but we.

613
00:38:17,520 --> 00:38:18,680
Speaker 2: Have another fight.

614
00:38:19,960 --> 00:38:21,520
Speaker 8: We must stand up and.

615
00:38:21,760 --> 00:38:25,279
Speaker 10: Fight the good fight as we march today, for they

616
00:38:25,320 --> 00:38:28,879
Speaker 10: are forces, their people who are wanna take us back.

617
00:38:29,320 --> 00:38:32,239
Speaker 10: We cannot go back. We come too far.

618
00:38:33,280 --> 00:38:34,480
Speaker 3: We want to go forward.

619
00:38:37,640 --> 00:38:37,879
Speaker 5: Back.

620
00:38:37,960 --> 00:38:42,520
Speaker 10: In nineteen sixty three, hundreds and thousand a million of

621
00:38:42,600 --> 00:38:47,200
Speaker 10: our brothers and sisters could not register to vote. When

622
00:38:47,239 --> 00:38:51,359
Speaker 10: I stood here fifty years ago, I said, one man,

623
00:38:51,600 --> 00:38:53,480
Speaker 10: one vote is African crime.

624
00:38:53,920 --> 00:38:56,120
Speaker 2: It is ours too, It must be ours.

625
00:38:57,080 --> 00:39:01,719
Speaker 10: I also said, some people tell us to wait, tell

626
00:39:01,800 --> 00:39:05,800
Speaker 10: us to be patient. I said, fifty years later, we

627
00:39:06,000 --> 00:39:10,120
Speaker 10: cannot wait. We cannot be patient. We want jobs and

628
00:39:10,239 --> 00:39:16,640
Speaker 10: we want our freedom. Now, all of us, it doesn't

629
00:39:16,680 --> 00:39:20,560
Speaker 10: matter whether we're black or white. Let you know, Asian America,

630
00:39:20,680 --> 00:39:24,680
Speaker 10: a Native American. It doesn't matter whether we're straight, a gay.

631
00:39:25,000 --> 00:39:28,320
Speaker 10: We're one people. We are one family, We're one house.

632
00:39:28,520 --> 00:39:33,360
Speaker 10: We all live in the same house. So I said

633
00:39:33,400 --> 00:39:38,680
Speaker 10: to you, my brothers and sisters, we cannot give up.

634
00:39:40,000 --> 00:39:45,399
Speaker 10: We cannot give out, We cannot give in. We must

635
00:39:45,480 --> 00:39:49,800
Speaker 10: get out there and push and pullull. Now, I a

636
00:39:49,920 --> 00:39:53,719
Speaker 10: few short years ago, almost forty eight years ago, well

637
00:39:53,880 --> 00:39:58,240
Speaker 10: forty years ago, almost fifty years ago, I gave.

638
00:39:58,120 --> 00:40:01,400
Speaker 3: A little blood on that bridge on my Alabama for

639
00:40:01,560 --> 00:40:04,799
Speaker 3: the right to vote. I am not going to.

640
00:40:04,920 --> 00:40:08,680
Speaker 10: Stand by and let the Supreme Court take the right

641
00:40:08,840 --> 00:40:16,520
Speaker 10: to vote away from us. You cannot stand by, you

642
00:40:16,800 --> 00:40:17,839
Speaker 10: cannot sit down.

643
00:40:18,200 --> 00:40:19,359
Speaker 2: You got to stand up.

644
00:40:20,400 --> 00:40:24,360
Speaker 1: Speak up, speak up, and get in a.

645
00:40:24,400 --> 00:40:26,160
Speaker 3: Way, make some noise.

646
00:40:31,640 --> 00:40:36,920
Speaker 10: The vote is precious, it is almost sacred. It is

647
00:40:37,000 --> 00:40:41,120
Speaker 10: the most powerful, non violent tool we have in a

648
00:40:41,280 --> 00:40:46,400
Speaker 10: democratic society, and we got to use it. Back in

649
00:40:46,520 --> 00:40:52,080
Speaker 10: nineteen sixty three, we hadn't heard of the internet. We

650
00:40:52,160 --> 00:40:56,080
Speaker 10: didn't have to sell your telephone iPad our part. But

651
00:40:56,239 --> 00:40:59,080
Speaker 10: we used what we had to bring about a non

652
00:40:59,239 --> 00:41:02,480
Speaker 10: violent revolution. And I said to all of the young people,

653
00:41:03,040 --> 00:41:06,880
Speaker 10: you must get out there and push and pull and

654
00:41:07,080 --> 00:41:10,920
Speaker 10: make America what America should be for all of us.

655
00:41:13,960 --> 00:41:18,520
Speaker 10: We must set to the Congress fix the voting right site.

656
00:41:19,680 --> 00:41:24,560
Speaker 10: We must set to the Congress pass comprehension immigration reform.

657
00:41:24,920 --> 00:41:28,359
Speaker 10: It doesn't make sense that million of our people are

658
00:41:28,440 --> 00:41:32,759
Speaker 10: living in the shadow. Bring them out into the light

659
00:41:33,640 --> 00:41:35,879
Speaker 10: and set them on a path to citizenship.

660
00:41:37,000 --> 00:41:39,880
Speaker 2: So hanging there, keep the faith.

661
00:41:41,040 --> 00:41:45,440
Speaker 10: I got arrested forty times during the sixties, beat the

662
00:41:45,560 --> 00:41:47,239
Speaker 10: left bloody and unconscious.

663
00:41:47,840 --> 00:41:50,200
Speaker 2: But I'm not tied, I'm not weary.

664
00:41:50,640 --> 00:41:54,160
Speaker 10: I'm not prepared to sit down and give up, and

665
00:41:54,480 --> 00:41:57,000
Speaker 10: ready to fight and continue to fight.

666
00:41:57,400 --> 00:41:58,480
Speaker 5: And you must fight.

667
00:41:59,360 --> 00:42:05,120
Speaker 1: Think of very you're listening, Dave Harvey Morning Show. All right,

668
00:42:05,280 --> 00:42:12,200
Speaker 1: happy King holiday everyone. Of course last week, boy, last week.

669
00:42:12,320 --> 00:42:15,200
Speaker 4: During a stop, this was a campaign stop in Iowa,

670
00:42:15,560 --> 00:42:20,240
Speaker 4: former President Donald Trump said the Civil War was quote

671
00:42:20,320 --> 00:42:25,200
Speaker 4: so horrible, but so fascinating, going on to suggest that

672
00:42:25,360 --> 00:42:28,040
Speaker 4: the conflict which was fought over, of course, the issue

673
00:42:28,080 --> 00:42:31,560
Speaker 4: of slavery, we all know that, could have been negotiated,

674
00:42:32,320 --> 00:42:35,560
Speaker 4: a comment that drew immediate backlash from civil rights groups

675
00:42:35,600 --> 00:42:40,080
Speaker 4: and historians alike. He said, so many mistakes were made.

676
00:42:40,640 --> 00:42:44,880
Speaker 4: See there was something I think could have been negotiated.

677
00:42:45,120 --> 00:42:48,160
Speaker 4: To be honest with you, all the people died, So

678
00:42:48,320 --> 00:42:51,760
Speaker 4: many people died. Trump went on to say, Abraham Lincoln.

679
00:42:51,800 --> 00:42:54,920
Speaker 4: Of course, if he negotiated it, you probably wouldn't even

680
00:42:55,040 --> 00:42:56,800
Speaker 4: know who Abraham Lincoln was?

681
00:42:57,680 --> 00:42:59,200
Speaker 8: What? What? What?

682
00:43:00,760 --> 00:43:02,400
Speaker 3: My granddate ain't up for no negotiation.

683
00:43:04,200 --> 00:43:05,320
Speaker 1: This is who y'all want to be.

684
00:43:05,440 --> 00:43:08,359
Speaker 2: The Methodist Yep, that's exactly who they want.

685
00:43:08,840 --> 00:43:09,040
Speaker 8: Yeah.

686
00:43:10,719 --> 00:43:18,359
Speaker 3: This ignorant food, this ignorant ass man. He ain't got

687
00:43:18,440 --> 00:43:21,320
Speaker 3: no problem. He can't he has to say ignorant stuff

688
00:43:21,360 --> 00:43:25,239
Speaker 3: because he ignorant. Now is he a brilliant bres This man,

689
00:43:25,480 --> 00:43:31,360
Speaker 3: absolutely no problem. But man, I'm trying to tell you

690
00:43:31,480 --> 00:43:36,120
Speaker 3: now that ain't that ain't what you want. But well, man,

691
00:43:36,440 --> 00:43:38,319
Speaker 3: I'm gonna be fine whoever they put in there, because

692
00:43:38,520 --> 00:43:41,399
Speaker 3: he not in charge of me. There's no way I'll

693
00:43:41,400 --> 00:43:43,560
Speaker 3: give him permission be in charge of me. It's no

694
00:43:43,719 --> 00:43:45,120
Speaker 3: way now.

695
00:43:45,520 --> 00:43:50,759
Speaker 4: It's According to USA Today, Savante Myrick, who is the

696
00:43:50,840 --> 00:43:53,719
Speaker 4: president of People for the American Way that is a

697
00:43:53,880 --> 00:43:58,320
Speaker 4: progressive advocacy group, said the Trump's commons demonstrate quote, a

698
00:43:58,400 --> 00:44:01,080
Speaker 4: glaring ignorance of American history.

699
00:44:01,760 --> 00:44:02,480
Speaker 1: Mieric went on to.

700
00:44:02,520 --> 00:44:04,840
Speaker 4: Say, and it seems like President Trump was applying that

701
00:44:04,960 --> 00:44:08,080
Speaker 4: some sort of failure of diplomacy on behalf of Abraham

702
00:44:08,160 --> 00:44:12,720
Speaker 4: Lincoln is what caused the Civil War. He accused Trump's

703
00:44:12,760 --> 00:44:17,840
Speaker 4: comments of being extremely appealing to Confederate sympathizers and white

704
00:44:17,920 --> 00:44:19,040
Speaker 4: supremacist folks.

705
00:44:20,040 --> 00:44:24,640
Speaker 3: What caused the Civil War? With your forefather's insistence on

706
00:44:24,880 --> 00:44:29,239
Speaker 3: maintaining the slavery system, that's what caused the Civil War.

707
00:44:30,000 --> 00:44:33,799
Speaker 3: What caused the Civil War is their refusal to acknowledge

708
00:44:33,880 --> 00:44:38,000
Speaker 3: and accept black people as human beings. That's what caused

709
00:44:38,080 --> 00:44:43,400
Speaker 3: the certain war. Them your forefathers. See, I'm not going

710
00:44:43,440 --> 00:44:45,840
Speaker 3: to ever stop saying that them, your forefathers, them, not

711
00:44:45,960 --> 00:44:53,480
Speaker 3: my forefathers, them, your full fathers. Y'all stole. Y'all stole America,

712
00:44:54,520 --> 00:44:57,759
Speaker 3: Louisiana treaty allist that's y'all. Y'all did that. Y'all came

713
00:44:57,800 --> 00:45:00,879
Speaker 3: over here to Indians say the Native American saved y'all life,

714
00:45:00,960 --> 00:45:03,680
Speaker 3: and then to thank them, y'all took everything from got

715
00:45:03,760 --> 00:45:07,759
Speaker 3: them old reservation. That's that's what y'all did. That's your mo.

716
00:45:09,800 --> 00:45:10,000
Speaker 2: Yeah.

717
00:45:10,000 --> 00:45:12,120
Speaker 3: The Asian people come over here and build a railroads

718
00:45:12,120 --> 00:45:17,640
Speaker 3: and you had black people build everything else. Did you.

719
00:45:20,640 --> 00:45:21,239
Speaker 8: What? What? What?

720
00:45:21,719 --> 00:45:24,960
Speaker 3: What you want us to do? And then after we

721
00:45:25,080 --> 00:45:27,560
Speaker 3: build your country and make your country, then you don't

722
00:45:27,560 --> 00:45:29,920
Speaker 3: want us in the country. Now all your policies is

723
00:45:30,040 --> 00:45:35,000
Speaker 3: keep us down and suppressed. Well, everybody, we take no more.

724
00:45:36,480 --> 00:45:38,320
Speaker 1: We still have to fight for voting rights.

725
00:45:38,960 --> 00:45:40,319
Speaker 3: And you know why you have to fight for your

726
00:45:40,400 --> 00:45:43,960
Speaker 3: voting rights because the actions of the forefathers still revived

727
00:45:44,080 --> 00:45:46,800
Speaker 3: resideing their great grandchildren. That's why.

728
00:45:48,320 --> 00:45:53,400
Speaker 4: Well my word right, yeah, yeah, And uh, Natasha Brown,

729
00:45:53,800 --> 00:45:57,360
Speaker 4: who is the co founder of Black Voters Matter, agreed,

730
00:45:57,520 --> 00:46:00,719
Speaker 4: saying that Trump's comments appeared aimed at I'm playing the

731
00:46:00,880 --> 00:46:03,400
Speaker 4: enslavement of black people in America's history.

732
00:46:04,440 --> 00:46:06,200
Speaker 1: She says, we know the history of the South.

733
00:46:06,320 --> 00:46:08,160
Speaker 4: We know that part of the elements of the South

734
00:46:08,239 --> 00:46:12,160
Speaker 4: were centered around the institution of slavery and in maintaining

735
00:46:12,239 --> 00:46:15,520
Speaker 4: that people of color would be in a permanent social status.

736
00:46:16,080 --> 00:46:16,200
Speaker 8: Uh.

737
00:46:16,800 --> 00:46:20,240
Speaker 4: Brown accused Trump of speaking to those that still feel

738
00:46:20,640 --> 00:46:23,400
Speaker 4: like their only advantage is white supremacy.

739
00:46:24,600 --> 00:46:26,640
Speaker 3: Wow, clearly.

740
00:46:28,160 --> 00:46:30,279
Speaker 1: Police register to vote and vote.

741
00:46:30,280 --> 00:46:38,680
Speaker 3: This year an undoable what she just said, good, yeah, yeah, yeah,

742
00:46:39,600 --> 00:46:41,399
Speaker 3: but you know they prove it. All all you gotta

743
00:46:41,400 --> 00:46:46,040
Speaker 3: do is look at Florida. They want to erase slavery

744
00:46:46,160 --> 00:46:47,480
Speaker 3: from history books.

745
00:46:47,719 --> 00:46:50,160
Speaker 1: Because it makes them feel uncomfortable.

746
00:46:49,560 --> 00:46:51,279
Speaker 3: That you can come to Texas that part.

747
00:46:51,360 --> 00:46:53,640
Speaker 2: Hell, yeah, to Texas.

748
00:46:54,480 --> 00:46:56,120
Speaker 1: You know how uncomfortable we've been.

749
00:46:57,480 --> 00:47:02,440
Speaker 11: After years at right, y'all on Day thirty.

750
00:47:03,239 --> 00:47:10,560
Speaker 12: Yeah, yeah, well, Steve, you talked about it earlier. You know,

751
00:47:10,640 --> 00:47:12,960
Speaker 12: the crew, we've been talking about it. This is an

752
00:47:13,000 --> 00:47:15,600
Speaker 12: election year of twenty twenty four, and we have to

753
00:47:15,640 --> 00:47:16,560
Speaker 12: take this seriously.

754
00:47:17,239 --> 00:47:18,520
Speaker 1: We have to take this seriously.

755
00:47:18,760 --> 00:47:22,360
Speaker 12: Trump tried to overthrow the government on January sixth, that

756
00:47:22,520 --> 00:47:25,560
Speaker 12: just happened not too long ago, the anniversary about this

757
00:47:26,120 --> 00:47:30,839
Speaker 12: police officers died. They're trying to kidnap senators and congress people.

758
00:47:31,160 --> 00:47:36,360
Speaker 12: They're taking away women's reproductive rights, they're taking away affirmative

759
00:47:36,480 --> 00:47:38,800
Speaker 12: action and universities and colleges.

760
00:47:38,880 --> 00:47:40,600
Speaker 1: Y'all better wake up, y'all.

761
00:47:40,920 --> 00:47:43,680
Speaker 3: And y'all black people out here that's thinking Trump is

762
00:47:43,760 --> 00:47:45,800
Speaker 3: good for black people, you're a fool.

763
00:47:46,640 --> 00:47:50,479
Speaker 1: Yeah, he already was in office for four years.

764
00:47:50,600 --> 00:47:51,200
Speaker 8: What did he do?

765
00:47:52,320 --> 00:47:55,439
Speaker 3: Dump Trump ain't good for nobody, man, ll y'all said

766
00:47:55,480 --> 00:47:58,920
Speaker 3: the mistaken and the other voters just trying to convince

767
00:47:58,960 --> 00:48:01,879
Speaker 3: them that that wouldn't not having that man, that he's

768
00:48:02,000 --> 00:48:07,359
Speaker 3: good for you because he's just like you. But he's

769
00:48:07,520 --> 00:48:11,080
Speaker 3: nothing like me. I'm nothing like him. We have no

770
00:48:11,320 --> 00:48:13,919
Speaker 3: similarities none.

771
00:48:14,800 --> 00:48:16,920
Speaker 8: I get puzzled by and maybe I shouldn't say this,

772
00:48:17,160 --> 00:48:21,600
Speaker 8: but Hispanics that get Trump's vote, I just don't understand

773
00:48:21,640 --> 00:48:22,000
Speaker 8: that part.

774
00:48:22,480 --> 00:48:23,399
Speaker 3: I don't get that either.

775
00:48:25,239 --> 00:48:28,480
Speaker 1: What Spanics Blacks?

776
00:48:30,960 --> 00:48:34,719
Speaker 4: Yeah, I think there are Republicans at heart, and he's

777
00:48:34,800 --> 00:48:36,520
Speaker 4: the Republican candidate.

778
00:48:37,200 --> 00:48:38,880
Speaker 2: Butt of the country.

779
00:48:40,480 --> 00:48:40,640
Speaker 5: Right.

780
00:48:41,840 --> 00:48:47,040

841
00:52:25,800 --> 00:52:28,200
Speaker 8: Before I knew it, I had been stabbed by this

842
00:52:28,440 --> 00:52:32,680
Speaker 8: deminuted woman. I was rushed to hullm Hospital. It was

843

Speaker 8: a dog Saturday afternoon. That blade had gone through. In

844
00:52:38,680 --> 00:52:42,400
Speaker 8: X rays revealed that the tip of the blade was

845
00:52:42,480 --> 00:52:46,239
Speaker 8: on the edge of my order the main artery and.

846
00:52:46,360 --> 00:52:49,879
Speaker 2: One sop's puncture. You drowned in your own blood. That's

847
00:52:49,920 --> 00:52:50,520
Speaker 2: the end of you.

848
00:52:51,920 --> 00:52:54,399
Speaker 8: It came out in the New York Times the next

849
00:52:54,520 --> 00:52:57,600
Speaker 8: morning that if I had merely sneezed, I.

850
00:52:57,600 --> 00:52:58,360
Speaker 3: Would have died.

851
00:52:59,239 --> 00:52:59,439
Speaker 2: Well.

852
00:52:59,440 --> 00:53:02,920
Speaker 8: About four days later, they allowed me after the operation,

853
00:53:03,920 --> 00:53:06,160
Speaker 8: after my chest had been opening the blade had been

854
00:53:06,200 --> 00:53:10,080
Speaker 8: taken out, to move around in the wheelchair in the hospital.

855
00:53:10,880 --> 00:53:12,719
Speaker 8: They allowed me to read some of the mail that

856
00:53:12,840 --> 00:53:15,800
Speaker 8: came in, and from all over the States and the world.

857
00:53:16,400 --> 00:53:21,200
Speaker 8: Kind letters came in. I read a few, but one

858
00:53:21,280 --> 00:53:24,600
Speaker 8: of them I will never forget. I had received one

859
00:53:24,760 --> 00:53:27,520
Speaker 8: from the President and the Vice President. I've forgotten what

860
00:53:28,040 --> 00:53:31,560
Speaker 8: those telegrams said. I'd received a visit and a letter

861
00:53:31,680 --> 00:53:34,040
Speaker 8: from the Governor of New York, but I've forgotten what

862
00:53:34,239 --> 00:53:35,800
Speaker 8: that letter say it.

863
00:53:36,760 --> 00:53:37,919
Speaker 2: But there was another letter.

864
00:53:39,360 --> 00:53:40,279
Speaker 3: It came from a.

865
00:53:40,280 --> 00:53:44,520
Speaker 8: Little girl, a young girl who was a student at

866
00:53:44,560 --> 00:53:47,839
Speaker 8: the White Planes High School. And I looked at that letter.

867
00:53:47,920 --> 00:53:51,040
Speaker 8: I'll never forget it. Say it simply, dear Doctor King,

868
00:53:52,120 --> 00:53:56,520
Speaker 8: I am a ninth grade student at the White Planes

869
00:53:56,600 --> 00:54:00,040
Speaker 8: High School. She said, while it should not make that,

870
00:54:00,160 --> 00:54:02,799
Speaker 8: I would like to mention that I'm a white girl.

871
00:54:03,719 --> 00:54:09,040
Speaker 8: I read in the paper of your misfortune and of

872
00:54:09,120 --> 00:54:12,680
Speaker 8: your suffering, and I read that if you had sneezed,

873
00:54:12,760 --> 00:54:16,200
Speaker 8: you would have died. I'm simply writing you to say

874
00:54:16,320 --> 00:54:20,279
Speaker 8: that I'm so happy that you didn't sneeze. And I

875
00:54:20,440 --> 00:54:24,040
Speaker 8: want to say tonight, I want to say tonight that

876
00:54:24,120 --> 00:54:26,920
Speaker 8: I too, am happy that I didn't sneeze, because if

877
00:54:26,960 --> 00:54:29,880
Speaker 8: I had sneezed, I wouldn't have been around here. In

878
00:54:30,000 --> 00:54:35,360
Speaker 8: nineteen sixty when students all over the South started sitting

879
00:54:35,400 --> 00:54:37,800
Speaker 8: in at lunch counties, and I knew that as a

880
00:54:37,960 --> 00:54:41,279
Speaker 8: were sitting in, they were really standing up for the

881
00:54:41,360 --> 00:54:44,399
Speaker 8: best in the American dream and taking the whole nation

882
00:54:44,600 --> 00:54:47,560
Speaker 8: back to those great weals of democracy which were dug

883
00:54:47,640 --> 00:54:51,360
Speaker 8: deep by the founding fathers in the Declaration of Independence

884
00:54:51,400 --> 00:54:55,239
Speaker 8: and the Constitution. If I had sneezed, I wouldn't have

885
00:54:55,280 --> 00:54:59,080
Speaker 8: been around here in nineteen sixty one when we decided

886
00:54:59,120 --> 00:55:03,279
Speaker 8: to take a ride for freedom an ended segregation.

887
00:55:03,120 --> 00:55:04,320
Speaker 2: In interstate travel.

888
00:55:04,920 --> 00:55:09,000
Speaker 8: If I had sneeze, I wouldn't have been around here

889
00:55:09,760 --> 00:55:13,360
Speaker 8: in nineteen sixty two when Negroes and all been at

890
00:55:13,440 --> 00:55:15,680
Speaker 8: Georgia decided to straighten.

891
00:55:15,320 --> 00:55:16,000
Speaker 3: That box up.

892
00:55:16,680 --> 00:55:18,759
Speaker 2: And when other men and women straighten.

893
00:55:18,560 --> 00:55:21,560
Speaker 8: That box up, they are going somewhere because a man

894
00:55:22,000 --> 00:55:23,120
Speaker 8: had roger.

895
00:55:22,920 --> 00:55:24,000
Speaker 3: Back unless it is bent.

896
00:55:24,480 --> 00:55:28,320
Speaker 8: If I had sneezed, I had sneezed, I wouldn't have

897
00:55:28,320 --> 00:55:28,719
Speaker 8: been here.

898
00:55:29,040 --> 00:55:31,080
Speaker 2: In nineteen sixty three.

899
00:55:32,280 --> 00:55:38,920
Speaker 8: The black people of Birmingham, Alabama aroused the conscience of

900
00:55:39,040 --> 00:55:42,600
Speaker 8: this nation and brought into being the Civil Rights Bill.

901
00:55:42,920 --> 00:55:45,880
Speaker 8: If I had sneeze, I wouldn't have had a chance.

902
00:55:46,239 --> 00:55:49,200
Speaker 8: Later that year, in August to try to tell America

903
00:55:49,600 --> 00:55:52,880
Speaker 8: about a dream that I had had. If I had sneeze,

904
00:55:55,440 --> 00:55:59,239
Speaker 8: I wouldn't have been down in Selma, Alabama to see.

905
00:55:59,560 --> 00:56:03,720
Speaker 2: The great movement there. If I had sneezed, I wouldn't

906
00:56:03,719 --> 00:56:04,040
Speaker 2: have been in.

907
00:56:04,120 --> 00:56:10,400
Speaker 8: Memphis to see a community rather around those brothers and

908
00:56:10,560 --> 00:56:14,200
Speaker 8: sisters who are suffering. I'm so happy that I didn't

909
00:56:14,239 --> 00:56:18,879
Speaker 8: snee and they were telling them now it doesn't matter now,

910
00:56:19,360 --> 00:56:22,880
Speaker 8: it really doesn't matter what happens now. I left Atlanta

911
00:56:22,960 --> 00:56:26,200
Speaker 8: this morning, and as we got started on the plane

912
00:56:26,280 --> 00:56:30,040
Speaker 8: that was six of us, the pilot said over the

913
00:56:31,280 --> 00:56:35,520
Speaker 8: public address system, we're sorref for the delay, but we

914
00:56:35,680 --> 00:56:39,360
Speaker 8: have Dr Martin lutheror King on the plane and to

915
00:56:39,480 --> 00:56:43,120
Speaker 8: be sure that all of the bags were checked and

916
00:56:43,280 --> 00:56:46,120
Speaker 8: to be sure that nothing.

917
00:56:45,840 --> 00:56:47,280
Speaker 3: Would be wrong on the plane.

918
00:56:48,120 --> 00:56:51,759
Speaker 8: We had to check out everything carefully, and we've had

919
00:56:51,800 --> 00:56:54,920
Speaker 8: the plane protected and gut.

920
00:56:54,719 --> 00:56:55,319
Speaker 2: It all night.

921
00:56:56,520 --> 00:57:01,160
Speaker 8: And then I got into Memphis and some began to

922
00:57:01,239 --> 00:57:04,799
Speaker 8: say the threats I talk about the threats that were

923
00:57:04,880 --> 00:57:08,400
Speaker 8: out or what would happen to me from some of

924
00:57:09,400 --> 00:57:14,160
Speaker 8: our sick white brothers. Well, I don't know what will

925
00:57:14,239 --> 00:57:18,440
Speaker 8: happen now. We've got some difficult days ahead, but It

926
00:57:18,520 --> 00:57:21,240
Speaker 8: really doesn't matter with me now because I've been to

927
00:57:21,360 --> 00:57:22,080
Speaker 8: the mountain talk.

928
00:57:24,360 --> 00:57:25,040
Speaker 3: I don't mind.

929
00:57:26,080 --> 00:57:29,600
Speaker 8: Like anybody, I would like to live a long life.

930
00:57:29,760 --> 00:57:35,760
Speaker 8: Longevity has its place, but I'm not concerned about that now.

931
00:57:37,440 --> 00:57:42,120
Speaker 8: I just want to do God's will, and He's allowed

932
00:57:42,240 --> 00:57:45,640
Speaker 8: me to go up to the mountain, and I've looked.

933
00:57:45,440 --> 00:57:48,440
Speaker 3: Over and I've seen.

934
00:57:49,720 --> 00:57:50,640
Speaker 2: The promised land.

935
00:57:52,160 --> 00:57:55,160
Speaker 8: I may not get there with you, but I want

936
00:57:55,200 --> 00:57:58,840
Speaker 8: you to know the night that we as a people

937
00:57:59,240 --> 00:58:04,000
Speaker 8: will get to a promise man. So I'm happy tonight.

938
00:58:04,040 --> 00:58:06,080
Speaker 5: I'm not worried about anything.

939
00:58:06,240 --> 00:58:08,040
Speaker 1: I'm not fearing in a man.

940
00:58:08,520 --> 00:58:11,640
Speaker 2: My eyes have seen the glory on the coming of

941
00:58:11,720 --> 00:58:12,120
Speaker 2: the Lord.

942
00:58:12,840 --> 00:58:15,520
Speaker 1: You're listening Dave Hardy Morning Show.

943
00:58:16,120 --> 00:58:18,480
Speaker 3: Coming up, We're going to play some excerpts from doctor

944
00:58:18,600 --> 00:58:20,800
Speaker 3: King's I Have a Dream Speech.

945
00:58:23,680 --> 00:58:28,800
Speaker 2: I am happy to john with you today in what

946
00:58:29,040 --> 00:58:30,160
Speaker 2: will go down.

947
00:58:30,280 --> 00:58:37,200
Speaker 8: In history as the greatest demonstration for freedom in the history.

948
00:58:36,960 --> 00:58:37,640
Speaker 1: Of our nation.

949
00:58:44,080 --> 00:58:50,240
Speaker 8: Five score years ago, a great American in whose symbolic

950
00:58:51,000 --> 00:58:59,200
Speaker 8: shadow we stand today, signed the Emancipation Proclamation. This momentous

951
00:58:59,280 --> 00:59:03,600
Speaker 8: decree can as a great beacon light of hope to

952
00:59:03,760 --> 00:59:08,320
Speaker 8: millions of Negro slaves who had been seared in the

953
00:59:08,480 --> 00:59:14,360
Speaker 8: flames of withering injustice. It came as a joyous daybreak

954
00:59:15,400 --> 00:59:20,840
Speaker 8: during the long night of their captivity. But one hundred

955
00:59:21,160 --> 00:59:28,680
Speaker 8: years later, the negro steal is not free. One hundred

956
00:59:28,760 --> 00:59:32,920
Speaker 8: years later, the life of the negro is still sadly

957
00:59:33,120 --> 00:59:39,080
Speaker 8: crippled by the manacles of segregation and the chains of discrimination.

958
00:59:40,160 --> 00:59:44,040
Speaker 8: One hundred years later, the negro lives on a lonely

959
00:59:44,160 --> 00:59:48,280
Speaker 8: island of poverty in the midst of a vast ocean

960
00:59:48,480 --> 00:59:57,800
Speaker 8: of material prosperity. One hundred years later, the negro is

961
00:59:57,880 --> 01:00:03,680
Speaker 8: still languished in the corner of American society and finds

962
01:00:03,880 --> 01:00:05,520
Speaker 8: himself in exile in.

963
01:00:05,600 --> 01:00:06,480
Speaker 1: His own land.

964
01:00:08,000 --> 01:00:09,720
Speaker 2: So we've come here today.

965
01:00:10,960 --> 01:00:16,640
Speaker 8: To dramatize a shameful condition. In a sense, we've come

966
01:00:16,760 --> 01:00:19,840
Speaker 8: to our nation's capital to cash a check.

967
01:00:22,040 --> 01:00:24,760
Speaker 2: When the architects of our Republic.

968
01:00:25,960 --> 01:00:30,160
Speaker 8: Wrote the magnificent words of the Constitution and the Declaration

969
01:00:30,280 --> 01:00:35,560
Speaker 8: of Independence, they were signing a promise or a note

970
01:00:36,880 --> 01:00:42,080
Speaker 8: to whichever the American was to fall out. This note

971
01:00:42,280 --> 01:00:47,320
Speaker 8: was a promise in all men, yes, black men, as

972
01:00:47,360 --> 01:00:52,720
Speaker 8: well as white men, would be guaranteed the unalienable rights

973
01:00:52,880 --> 01:00:56,800
Speaker 8: of life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness.

974
01:00:58,600 --> 01:01:00,160
Speaker 2: It is obvious today.

975
01:01:01,480 --> 01:01:05,760
Speaker 8: That America has defaulted on this promisory note in so

976
01:01:06,040 --> 01:01:11,720
Speaker 8: far as our citizens of color are concerned. Instead of

977
01:01:12,000 --> 01:01:18,560
Speaker 8: honoring this sacred obligation, America has given the Negro people

978
01:01:18,760 --> 01:01:22,439
Speaker 8: a bad check, a check which has come back mark

979
01:01:22,560 --> 01:01:23,760
Speaker 8: insufficient funds.

980
01:01:29,120 --> 01:01:31,480
Speaker 2: But we refuse to believe that the.

981
01:01:31,560 --> 01:01:38,720
Speaker 8: Bank of justice is bankrupt. We refuse to believe that

982
01:01:38,840 --> 01:01:42,800
Speaker 8: that are insufficient funds in the great faults of opportunity

983
01:01:42,880 --> 01:01:46,280
Speaker 8: of this nation. So we've come to cash this check,

984
01:01:46,840 --> 01:01:50,080
Speaker 8: a check that will give us, upon demand, the riches

985
01:01:50,280 --> 01:02:01,480
Speaker 8: of freedom and the security of justice. We have also

986
01:02:01,720 --> 01:02:06,200
Speaker 8: come to this hallid spot to remind the America of

987
01:02:06,360 --> 01:02:12,680
Speaker 8: the fierce urgency of now. This is no time to

988
01:02:12,880 --> 01:02:16,320
Speaker 8: engage in the luxury of cooling off or to take

989
01:02:16,440 --> 01:02:19,120
Speaker 8: the tranquilizing drug of gradualism.

990
01:02:25,320 --> 01:02:28,920
Speaker 2: Now is the time, lovely, to make real.

991
01:02:28,880 --> 01:02:35,200
Speaker 8: The promises of democracy. Now is the time the rise

992
01:02:35,400 --> 01:02:39,120
Speaker 8: from the dark and desolate valley of segregation to the

993
01:02:39,240 --> 01:02:41,400
Speaker 8: sunlit path of racial justice.

994
01:02:41,880 --> 01:02:43,120
Speaker 4: Now is the time.

995
01:02:48,680 --> 01:02:50,919
Speaker 2: From the quick send of racial.

996
01:02:50,640 --> 01:02:55,040
Speaker 8: Injustice to the solid rock of brotherhood. Now is the time.

997
01:02:59,240 --> 01:03:01,240
Speaker 2: The reality for all of God's do.

998
01:03:02,720 --> 01:03:06,360
Speaker 8: It would be fatal for the nation to overlook the

999
01:03:06,640 --> 01:03:12,240
Speaker 8: urgency of the moment. This sweltering summer of the Negro's

1000
01:03:12,360 --> 01:03:19,000
Speaker 8: legitimate discontent will not pass until that is an invigorating

1001
01:03:19,240 --> 01:03:23,840
Speaker 8: ultumn of freedom and equality. Nineteen sixty three is not

1002
01:03:24,000 --> 01:03:29,000
Speaker 8: an end, but a beginning. Those who hope that the

1003
01:03:29,120 --> 01:03:33,880
Speaker 8: Negro needed to blow off steam and will now be content.

1004
01:03:34,560 --> 01:03:36,280
Speaker 2: Will have a rude awakening.

1005
01:03:36,360 --> 01:03:46,720
Speaker 8: If the nation returns to business as usual. There will

1006
01:03:46,840 --> 01:03:52,080
Speaker 8: be neither rest nor tranquility in America until the Negro

1007
01:03:52,360 --> 01:03:54,480
Speaker 8: is granted his citizenship rights.

1008
01:03:55,360 --> 01:03:57,320
Speaker 2: The whirlwindsor revolt.

1009
01:03:56,960 --> 01:04:01,280
Speaker 8: Will continue to shake the foundations of our until the

1010
01:04:01,400 --> 01:04:05,800
Speaker 8: bright day of justice emerges. But that is something that

1011
01:04:05,960 --> 01:04:09,120
Speaker 8: I must say to my people who stand on the

1012
01:04:09,240 --> 01:04:14,040
Speaker 8: warm threshold which leads into the palace of justice. In

1013
01:04:14,240 --> 01:04:18,200
Speaker 8: the process of gaining our rightful place, we must.

1014
01:04:18,080 --> 01:04:20,880
Speaker 2: Not be guilty of wrong for deeds.

1015
01:04:21,720 --> 01:04:24,960
Speaker 8: Let us not seek to satisfy our thirst for freedom

1016
01:04:25,960 --> 01:04:28,720
Speaker 8: by drinking from the cup of bitterness and hatred.

1017
01:04:36,480 --> 01:04:41,160
Speaker 3: You're listening hard morning shows right now, I asked, promise,

1018
01:04:41,360 --> 01:04:43,120
Speaker 3: we're going to play some of doctor King's I have

1019
01:04:43,160 --> 01:04:45,560
Speaker 3: a Dream speech, which he delivered on the steps of

1020
01:04:45,640 --> 01:04:48,400
Speaker 3: the Lincoln Memorial back in nineteen sixty three.

1021
01:04:49,400 --> 01:04:52,840
Speaker 8: One day, right now in Alabama, little black boys and

1022
01:04:53,000 --> 01:04:56,160
Speaker 8: black girls, we'll be able to join hands with little

1023
01:04:56,240 --> 01:04:58,120
Speaker 8: white boars and white girls.

1024
01:04:58,040 --> 01:05:00,640
Speaker 2: As sisters and brothers. I have a dream today.

1025
01:05:02,640 --> 01:05:06,040
Speaker 8: I have a dream that one day every valley shall

1026
01:05:06,080 --> 01:05:10,040
Speaker 8: be exalted, every hill and mountains shall be made low.

1027
01:05:10,200 --> 01:05:13,360
Speaker 8: The rough faces will be made paint, and the crooked

1028
01:05:13,440 --> 01:05:15,840
Speaker 8: faces will be made straight, and the core of the

1029
01:05:15,960 --> 01:05:19,720
Speaker 8: heart shall be revealed, and all flesh shall see it together.

1030
01:05:20,640 --> 01:05:21,600
Speaker 8: This is our hope.

1031
01:05:22,680 --> 01:05:25,160
Speaker 2: This is a feat that I go back to the

1032
01:05:25,280 --> 01:05:29,520
Speaker 2: South with. With this fail, we will be able to

1033
01:05:29,640 --> 01:05:33,000
Speaker 2: hew out of the mountain of despair a stone of hope.

1034
01:05:34,000 --> 01:05:37,600
Speaker 8: With this fail, we will be able to transform the

1035
01:05:37,720 --> 01:05:42,720
Speaker 8: jangling discords of our nation into a beautiful symphony of brotherhood.

1036
01:05:43,280 --> 01:05:46,800
Speaker 8: With this fail, we will be able to work together,

1037
01:05:46,960 --> 01:05:50,920
Speaker 8: to pray together, to struggle together, to go to jail together,

1038
01:05:51,280 --> 01:05:53,320
Speaker 8: to stand up for freedom, together.

1039
01:05:53,640 --> 01:05:56,320
Speaker 2: Knowing that we will be free one day.

1040
01:05:58,640 --> 01:06:02,560
Speaker 5: Willing day, this will be the.

1041
01:06:02,640 --> 01:06:06,480
Speaker 8: Day when all the gods too will be able to

1042
01:06:06,640 --> 01:06:11,440
Speaker 8: sing with new meaning. My country tears at the sweet

Speaker 8: Quarto mater.

1069
01:07:48,640 --> 01:07:54,080
Speaker 4: Real fear will be that you're listening Jesday Harvey Morning Show.

1070
01:07:56,400 --> 01:07:59,840
Speaker 4: Today's MLK Day. It is a day of service. Red

1071
01:08:00,200 --> 01:08:03,400
Speaker 4: Martin Luther King Junior devote in his life to service

1072
01:08:03,600 --> 01:08:07,240
Speaker 4: and fighting for civil rights and freedom. Doctor King had

1073
01:08:07,240 --> 01:08:11,919
Speaker 4: a pursuit for racial, social, and economic justice. And Steve,

1074
01:08:12,080 --> 01:08:14,840
Speaker 4: I got to ask you this question. You know, you

1075
01:08:14,960 --> 01:08:17,240
Speaker 4: talk about this a lot. You talked about it earlier

1076
01:08:17,320 --> 01:08:20,280
Speaker 4: this morning. You've been through a lot growing up. So

1077
01:08:20,520 --> 01:08:24,040
Speaker 4: how have you learned to deal with racism? How have

1078
01:08:24,160 --> 01:08:25,000
Speaker 4: you dealt with it?

1079
01:08:26,280 --> 01:08:30,880
Speaker 3: I mean, look, I mean pretty much like most people.

1080
01:08:31,000 --> 01:08:34,080
Speaker 3: I mean, I'm angry about it. I don't understand what's

1081
01:08:34,120 --> 01:08:36,720
Speaker 3: taking so long. It doesn't make any sense to me.

1082
01:08:37,400 --> 01:08:41,160
Speaker 3: It's actually pathetic. Why is it that people of color

1083
01:08:41,520 --> 01:08:46,599
Speaker 3: are still asking for equality, which seems like we're asking

1084
01:08:46,680 --> 01:08:50,439
Speaker 3: it from from somebody that's not willing to give it.

1085
01:08:50,880 --> 01:08:53,800
Speaker 3: I mean, it's just obviously that there are people who

1086
01:08:53,840 --> 01:08:58,000
Speaker 3: are set in their ways, and it's frustrating now we

1087
01:08:58,200 --> 01:09:02,400
Speaker 3: Even with that said, I have devoted myself to being

1088
01:09:02,520 --> 01:09:05,879
Speaker 3: the best person that I can be, to elevate myself

1089
01:09:06,360 --> 01:09:09,679
Speaker 3: as high as I can, but not only elevate myself,

1090
01:09:10,080 --> 01:09:12,439
Speaker 3: stick my hand back down the wall and bring up

1091
01:09:12,439 --> 01:09:16,120
Speaker 3: as many people as I can, Thus my foundation, thus

1092
01:09:16,360 --> 01:09:20,519
Speaker 3: my ranch, thus me trying to promote young people, thus

1093
01:09:21,000 --> 01:09:27,040
Speaker 3: helping people. I'm constantly looking for ways to uplift the

1094
01:09:27,080 --> 01:09:32,400
Speaker 3: the oppressed, the downtrodden people, and that carries over into

1095
01:09:32,600 --> 01:09:35,960
Speaker 3: all people too. And that's what's been crazy about it.

1096
01:09:36,120 --> 01:09:36,280
Speaker 8: Man.

1097
01:09:36,840 --> 01:09:40,720
Speaker 3: I'm willing to help all people. Now, do I have

1098
01:09:40,880 --> 01:09:46,639
Speaker 3: a special affinity and do I target mostly people of color?

1099
01:09:46,800 --> 01:09:47,040
Speaker 2: Yeah?

1100
01:09:47,320 --> 01:09:49,640
Speaker 3: Yeah, I do that. And I was talking to one

1101
01:09:49,680 --> 01:09:52,280
Speaker 3: guy one day and he said, well, how can you

1102
01:09:52,479 --> 01:09:55,280
Speaker 3: just target them? I said, well, who woa, That's where

1103
01:09:55,360 --> 01:09:59,120
Speaker 3: I see the most need. I see the most need

1104
01:09:59,320 --> 01:10:03,120
Speaker 3: in people of color and oppressed people. So I'm targeting

1105
01:10:03,240 --> 01:10:07,080
Speaker 3: my efforts. I said, you know, look, it's all types

1106
01:10:07,120 --> 01:10:10,000
Speaker 3: of people come to the camp. Anybody can come to

1107
01:10:10,080 --> 01:10:13,160
Speaker 3: the camp. Hell Asians are oppressed, they walk them at

1108
01:10:13,200 --> 01:10:15,280
Speaker 3: the camp. All Latinos come to my camp. They were

1109
01:10:15,880 --> 01:10:18,560
Speaker 3: I got white kids come to the camp. You know,

1110
01:10:18,800 --> 01:10:19,840
Speaker 3: I got all of them.

1111
01:10:21,120 --> 01:10:21,760
Speaker 1: Diversity.

1112
01:10:22,320 --> 01:10:26,320
Speaker 3: But you know, you can't get mad at me because

1113
01:10:26,439 --> 01:10:29,080
Speaker 3: I know where the greater need is and I can

1114
01:10:29,280 --> 01:10:33,479
Speaker 3: see it more obviously, and it's my obligation because if

1115
01:10:33,520 --> 01:10:36,160
Speaker 3: the government not gonna do it, well, let's just look

1116
01:10:36,200 --> 01:10:38,640
Speaker 3: at this right here. For example, let's just look at

1117
01:10:38,680 --> 01:10:41,680
Speaker 3: the education disparity in this country. Why do we have

1118
01:10:41,760 --> 01:10:46,240
Speaker 3: an educational disparity Because the money on the federal level

1119
01:10:46,320 --> 01:10:49,320
Speaker 3: that we pay in taxes and we pay state taxes,

1120
01:10:49,400 --> 01:10:52,960
Speaker 3: local taxes, it all goes into a fund. Now, the

1121
01:10:53,160 --> 01:10:57,920
Speaker 3: areas that pay the most funds into the state taxes

1122
01:10:58,000 --> 01:11:01,320
Speaker 3: or the federal taxes are the places receive the most

1123
01:11:01,439 --> 01:11:05,519
Speaker 3: money back. Poor places are not gonna have as big

1124
01:11:05,600 --> 01:11:09,919
Speaker 3: a pool to pick from, so poor places stay behind

1125
01:11:09,960 --> 01:11:14,639
Speaker 3: the eight ball. It's the system they set up. See,

1126
01:11:14,720 --> 01:11:19,400
Speaker 3: they set that system up, not me. So what should

1127
01:11:19,479 --> 01:11:22,679
Speaker 3: be happening is we should as a country make sure

1128
01:11:22,720 --> 01:11:26,320
Speaker 3: that all people have access to a quality education and

1129
01:11:26,439 --> 01:11:30,479
Speaker 3: a free education. Ah, that ain't the American way. That

1130
01:11:30,600 --> 01:11:34,280
Speaker 3: ain't the American way. But that's why we're losing education

1131
01:11:34,479 --> 01:11:39,120
Speaker 3: wise on the global level because other countries they don't

1132
01:11:39,160 --> 01:11:41,960
Speaker 3: do it that way. We should all be able to

1133
01:11:42,000 --> 01:11:44,080
Speaker 3: we make enough money in this country where everybody should

1134
01:11:44,080 --> 01:11:48,439
Speaker 3: get free medical there's a business we don't get that.

1135
01:11:49,439 --> 01:11:52,680
Speaker 3: So you knows, right, But this is the system they

1136
01:11:52,840 --> 01:11:56,080
Speaker 3: set up, and the system is not set up and

1137
01:11:56,360 --> 01:11:59,280
Speaker 3: targeted for the underprivileged or the oppressed.

1138
01:12:00,520 --> 01:12:02,320
Speaker 1: Oh, the less fortunate, That's right, Steve.

1139
01:12:02,720 --> 01:12:05,040
Speaker 3: So it's not set up that way. So my obligation

1140
01:12:05,160 --> 01:12:08,760
Speaker 3: in my foundation is fun the less fortunate, the oppress,

1141
01:12:09,000 --> 01:12:11,800
Speaker 3: the down trot and I go out of my way

1142
01:12:11,920 --> 01:12:14,080
Speaker 3: to see that that happens. But you know, and we're

1143
01:12:14,120 --> 01:12:17,680
Speaker 3: going to win. It's just sad that it's taken so

1144
01:12:17,960 --> 01:12:21,560
Speaker 3: damn long. And is it pisses you off? And I

1145
01:12:21,600 --> 01:12:25,479
Speaker 3: would say this to anybody who is not of color,

1146
01:12:26,200 --> 01:12:30,960
Speaker 3: how long would you like to wait to be treated equal?

1147
01:12:31,479 --> 01:12:33,599
Speaker 4: That's right, are And we'll have more of the Steve

1148
01:12:33,640 --> 01:12:36,120
Speaker 4: Harvey Morning Show as we celebrate the life and legacy

1149
01:12:36,200 --> 01:12:37,759
Speaker 4: of doctor Martin Luther King Junior.

1150
01:12:38,120 --> 01:12:44,679
Speaker 1: Right after this. You're listening Steve Harvey Morning Show. Happy

1151
01:12:44,840 --> 01:12:45,800
Speaker 1: King Holiday.

1152
01:12:46,160 --> 01:12:48,640
Speaker 4: We do want to remind everyone to get registered to

1153
01:12:48,800 --> 01:12:51,360
Speaker 4: vote please, it is so crucial this year.

1154
01:12:51,800 --> 01:12:55,040
Speaker 1: Today and today is the Iowa Caucus.

1155
01:12:55,600 --> 01:12:58,639
Speaker 4: The caucus is a process by which voters in Iowa

1156
01:12:58,760 --> 01:13:03,000
Speaker 4: select their top choice for their party's presidential nomination. It

1157
01:13:03,160 --> 01:13:07,280
Speaker 4: differs from a primary because it's overseen by the state party,

1158
01:13:07,760 --> 01:13:11,200
Speaker 4: not the state government, and does not require voting at

1159
01:13:11,280 --> 01:13:14,800
Speaker 4: a polling place. Now, according to reuters dot Com, the

1160
01:13:14,880 --> 01:13:18,760
Speaker 4: Republican Party will hold its caucuses on January fifteenth, that

1161
01:13:18,960 --> 01:13:24,160
Speaker 4: is today. Iowa Democrats separately are choosing their candidate entirely

1162
01:13:24,280 --> 01:13:27,840
Speaker 4: by mail in ballot this election cycle, and will release

1163
01:13:27,920 --> 01:13:32,400
Speaker 4: their results on March fifth, that Super Tuesday. The caucuses

1164
01:13:32,439 --> 01:13:35,360
Speaker 4: are viewed as the first snapshot of voter support for

1165
01:13:35,479 --> 01:13:40,040
Speaker 4: presidential candidates. Typically, those candidates will have spent months campaigning

1166
01:13:40,120 --> 01:13:44,160
Speaker 4: across the state, testing their messages and their appeal. Those

1167
01:13:44,240 --> 01:13:48,240
Speaker 4: who don't farewell sometimes opt to drop out of the race.

1168
01:13:48,479 --> 01:13:51,479
Speaker 4: Former President Donald Trump is heavily favored to win.

1169
01:13:53,880 --> 01:14:00,600
Speaker 1: Right there, man, Yah, vote is right everything?

1170
01:14:02,360 --> 01:14:03,160
Speaker 5: Do they not see?

1171
01:14:03,880 --> 01:14:03,920
Speaker 8: No?

1172
01:14:04,080 --> 01:14:07,280
Speaker 3: No, no, no, no, guys, guys, they see it and

1173
01:14:07,400 --> 01:14:12,120
Speaker 3: they cool with it because that's them. That's them. That's

1174
01:14:12,160 --> 01:14:15,960
Speaker 3: why they don't see no wrong with it, because that's

1175
01:14:16,120 --> 01:14:17,040
Speaker 3: how they are.

1176
01:14:18,000 --> 01:14:18,439
Speaker 2: Period.

1177
01:14:19,160 --> 01:14:20,960
Speaker 3: Wake up, y'all, that's how they are.

1178
01:14:21,360 --> 01:14:23,439
Speaker 4: Go to when we all vote dot org and get

1179
01:14:23,560 --> 01:14:26,439
Speaker 4: registered today, we'll be back right after this.

1180
01:14:27,200 --> 01:14:32,240
Speaker 1: You're listening morning show. Well, we gotta say Happy King Day.

1181
01:14:32,600 --> 01:14:36,760
Speaker 4: Today is MLK Day and it's a day on, not

1182
01:14:36,960 --> 01:14:39,560
Speaker 4: just a day off. We want to remind everyone to

1183
01:14:39,600 --> 01:14:42,439
Speaker 4: try and participate in some sort of community service in

1184
01:14:42,520 --> 01:14:46,000
Speaker 4: your community. You can volunteer for an organization. You can

1185
01:14:46,120 --> 01:14:48,400
Speaker 4: donate to a cause or a charity.

1186
01:14:48,080 --> 01:14:48,759
Speaker 1: Of your choice.

1187
01:14:49,240 --> 01:14:51,080
Speaker 4: All of us here in the Steve Harvey Morning Show

1188
01:14:51,120 --> 01:14:53,880
Speaker 4: have causes that are important to us. Mentoring young men

1189
01:14:54,040 --> 01:14:58,599
Speaker 4: from fatherless homes, helping wounded veterans, breast cancer awareness, sickle

1190
01:14:58,680 --> 01:15:03,960
Speaker 4: cell awareness, domestic violence awareness. Community service teaches you about empathy.

1191
01:15:04,200 --> 01:15:08,240
Speaker 4: It strengthens the community, and it creates change. So here's

1192
01:15:08,280 --> 01:15:11,479
Speaker 4: a question, why is it so important Steve to give back?

1193
01:15:11,760 --> 01:15:14,320
Speaker 3: Well, I mean, you know, it's a simple philosophy that

1194
01:15:14,439 --> 01:15:17,719
Speaker 3: I've learned. My mother taught it to me. God blesses

1195
01:15:17,800 --> 01:15:21,720
Speaker 3: you to become a blessing and in our community. Man,

1196
01:15:21,840 --> 01:15:25,679
Speaker 3: we should be more in the uplift business anyway, because

1197
01:15:25,760 --> 01:15:29,920
Speaker 3: we need it. Man, We need it because the powers

1198
01:15:29,960 --> 01:15:34,280
Speaker 3: that be have policies in place to suppress us. So

1199
01:15:34,479 --> 01:15:37,479
Speaker 3: when we get in a position we can ill afford

1200
01:15:37,600 --> 01:15:41,080
Speaker 3: to ignore the others who are less fortunate, we have

1201
01:15:41,439 --> 01:15:45,639
Speaker 3: got to extend our hand. He ain't heavy, he's my brother,

1202
01:15:46,720 --> 01:15:49,920
Speaker 3: and that's what we should be about the uplift of

1203
01:15:50,080 --> 01:15:55,920
Speaker 3: our community, not the destruction of it. We have got

1204
01:15:56,080 --> 01:16:00,840
Speaker 3: to stop bending and lending our ears of those who

1205
01:16:00,920 --> 01:16:04,960
Speaker 3: are determined and hell bent to destroy the black culture,

1206
01:16:05,680 --> 01:16:08,280
Speaker 3: especially when we do it to ourselves.

1207
01:16:09,479 --> 01:16:10,479
Speaker 1: Are we crazy?

1208
01:16:11,080 --> 01:16:11,280
Speaker 2: Man?

1209
01:16:11,360 --> 01:16:13,240
Speaker 3: We cheer for each other to get where we go,

1210
01:16:13,360 --> 01:16:15,680
Speaker 3: and then when they get there, the jealousy of them

1211
01:16:15,760 --> 01:16:18,880
Speaker 3: being there becomes too much. We should be in the

1212
01:16:19,040 --> 01:16:23,320
Speaker 3: uplift business of one another. That's what Callers Foundation is

1213
01:16:23,360 --> 01:16:27,200
Speaker 3: about with breast cancer awareness. That's what domestic violence is

1214
01:16:27,240 --> 01:16:30,000
Speaker 3: well with Shirley, That's what the Wounded Warriors is about

1215
01:16:30,439 --> 01:16:35,000
Speaker 3: with Tommy. That's why kir fights so hard to bring

1216
01:16:35,120 --> 01:16:38,880
Speaker 3: awareness to what's happening to so many African Americans with

1217
01:16:39,040 --> 01:16:42,360
Speaker 3: this disease that they don't put enough money behind, they

1218
01:16:42,439 --> 01:16:46,680
Speaker 3: don't put enough research behind, because it's us. See, So

1219
01:16:46,840 --> 01:16:50,280
Speaker 3: we've all committed ourselves to a level of uplift and

1220
01:16:50,479 --> 01:16:54,200
Speaker 3: that's what it's about, not the destruction of the culture.

1221
01:16:54,680 --> 01:16:58,240
Speaker 3: We have got to do that. Martin Luther King's whole

1222
01:16:58,400 --> 01:17:02,960
Speaker 3: life was about service. That's what you remember about him.

1223
01:17:03,200 --> 01:17:05,120
Speaker 3: Now some people want to come out and talk about

1224
01:17:05,120 --> 01:17:07,360
Speaker 3: the negative that he did. He's a human being. He's

1225
01:17:07,400 --> 01:17:09,720
Speaker 3: a human being. You can do that all day long.

1226
01:17:09,960 --> 01:17:12,840
Speaker 3: But once again, y'all, if you pay attention to it,

1227
01:17:13,439 --> 01:17:17,200
Speaker 3: they took thirty second sound bites to get rid of Jesus.

1228
01:17:18,439 --> 01:17:21,439
Speaker 3: You can take a thirty second sound bite and get

1229
01:17:21,560 --> 01:17:22,720
Speaker 3: rid of anybody.

1230
01:17:23,360 --> 01:17:23,599
Speaker 8: Wow.

1231
01:17:23,760 --> 01:17:27,360
Speaker 3: But stay in the uplift business because that's what we

1232
01:17:27,479 --> 01:17:32,160
Speaker 3: are here for. Service to our brothers and sisters. That's

1233
01:17:32,200 --> 01:17:32,920
Speaker 3: what it's about.

1234
01:17:33,680 --> 01:17:36,200
Speaker 1: Maybe that's right, Steve, keep it positive.

1235
01:17:37,000 --> 01:17:37,320
Speaker 3: All right.

1236
01:17:37,439 --> 01:17:39,439
Speaker 4: We'll be back with more of a Steve Harvey Morning

1263
01:19:05,760 --> 01:19:08,559
Speaker 3: He didn't know what he had threw me into. Because

1264
01:19:08,640 --> 01:19:11,040
Speaker 3: let me tell you something, man, I had to go write,

1265
01:19:11,920 --> 01:19:14,519
Speaker 3: don't trip. He ain't through me yet. It's a whole special,

1266
01:19:14,560 --> 01:19:17,720
Speaker 3: I wrote. I had to go write that special. It

1267
01:19:17,880 --> 01:19:21,559
Speaker 3: wasn't jokes I was doing on the road. I had

1268
01:19:21,640 --> 01:19:24,240
Speaker 3: to write that special. I had to go write that one.

1269
01:19:25,040 --> 01:19:27,479
Speaker 3: I had to go put this church stuff together. It

1270
01:19:27,640 --> 01:19:33,160
Speaker 3: was probably the easiest hardest set I've ever written. Because

1271
01:19:33,240 --> 01:19:34,880
Speaker 3: I grew up in the church, so I knew a

1272
01:19:34,920 --> 01:19:39,640
Speaker 3: lot of church stuff. I did not think that the

1273
01:19:39,800 --> 01:19:41,880
Speaker 3: church folks was going to accept it because I was

1274
01:19:41,880 --> 01:19:44,000
Speaker 3: gonna have to talk about them. I was gonna have

1275
01:19:44,040 --> 01:19:47,000
Speaker 3: to talk about the people that they let read announcements,

1276
01:19:47,680 --> 01:19:52,559
Speaker 3: you know, because the first thing about reading announcements, reading

1277
01:19:52,800 --> 01:19:55,640
Speaker 3: is fundamental. You can't put the ignorant people shouldn't be

1278
01:19:55,680 --> 01:20:00,360
Speaker 3: reading announcements at the church sick and chip. I just

1279
01:20:00,600 --> 01:20:03,719
Speaker 3: it's just a lot of stuff I knew calling the past,

1280
01:20:03,800 --> 01:20:06,920
Speaker 3: about every little thing I just I said. And then

1281
01:20:07,040 --> 01:20:10,800
Speaker 3: stuff that I knew, how the choir saying who in

1282
01:20:10,920 --> 01:20:11,360
Speaker 3: the choir?

1283
01:20:13,520 --> 01:20:13,760
Speaker 8: You know?

1284
01:20:14,720 --> 01:20:16,160
Speaker 3: Stuff you can't do no more?

1285
01:20:16,880 --> 01:20:17,479
Speaker 12: Right right?

1286
01:20:18,520 --> 01:20:21,160
Speaker 3: I do any of them jokes, I'm being in trouble.

1287
01:20:21,240 --> 01:20:24,080
Speaker 4: That's so true, Steve, because my grandmother when she saw

1288
01:20:24,200 --> 01:20:25,320
Speaker 4: that special.

1289
01:20:25,600 --> 01:20:29,559
Speaker 1: She said, how he know all this is true? Talking

1290
01:20:29,640 --> 01:20:30,439
Speaker 1: about the church?

1291
01:20:30,720 --> 01:20:31,360
Speaker 5: All of that.

1292
01:20:32,640 --> 01:20:35,600
Speaker 3: I knew church because I grew up in it. Was

Speaker 3: that intro for Christ? Do you know you was at

1300
01:20:46,600 --> 01:20:48,800
Speaker 3: the time and place I was at. I was at

Speaker 3: the Grand Looks restaurant. L I remember the Deverly Center

1302
01:20:55,280 --> 01:20:58,000
Speaker 3: because I used to go from the radio show to

1303
01:20:58,120 --> 01:21:00,720
Speaker 3: the Grand Looks and sit there all day. Sometimes I

1304
01:21:00,840 --> 01:21:04,679
Speaker 3: need three meals there. If we played Domino's.

1305
01:21:06,080 --> 01:21:09,680
Speaker 1: All day, though, what could we all day? That's why

1306
01:21:09,720 --> 01:21:13,240
Speaker 1: they shut it down to you know, I had a lot.

1307
01:21:13,200 --> 01:21:19,560
Speaker 3: Going on back then, so and you know, like and

01:21:19,760 --> 01:21:23,519
Speaker 3: I would just sit there. And so one day man

Speaker 3: Boom was there and Boom Dog, you know, had a
