  Speaker 6: You're listening to the voice, Come on, dig me now,
• 2:08
  Speaker 6: one and only Steve Harvey got this radio show. Man,
• 2:16
  Speaker 6: How I got here? I really can't explain it. Only
• 2:19
  Speaker 6: by the grace of God, That's all I can really
• 2:21
  Speaker 6: tell you. I was talking with a buddy the other
• 2:26
  Speaker 6: day and he was telling me. He said, Man, he
• 2:28
  Speaker 6: had an interesting philosophy about it.
• 2:32
  Speaker 2: He say. You know, you can have.
• 2:33
  Speaker 6: Dreams and visions, he say, but God, God will never
• 2:38
  Speaker 6: show you.
• 2:40
  Speaker 2: What all he has for you.
• 2:43
  Speaker 6: He won't show you all of it because he knows
• 2:46
  Speaker 6: you'll mess it up. And you know what, man, I
• 2:50
  Speaker 6: thought about that, and wow, how true is that?
• 2:54
  Speaker 2: Okay?
• 2:56
  Speaker 6: I know that I got a radio show. I didn't
• 3:00
  Speaker 6: see it. It's just become this major blessing for me.
• 3:04
  Speaker 6: I didn't see it. But if I would have seen
• 3:06
  Speaker 6: it and known when he had planned on giving it
• 3:10
  Speaker 6: to me, I would have messed it up because Number one,
• 3:14
  Speaker 6: my first question would have been to him, why I
• 3:17
  Speaker 6: got to wait so long? Why don't I go down
• 3:21
  Speaker 6: hill and start on the radio now? And then I'll
• 3:25
  Speaker 6: be in radio and then tyd, I see the God.
• 3:29
  Speaker 6: But see, the thing about God is God don't need
• 3:32
  Speaker 6: your help. Matter of fact, he don't really want it.
• 3:36
  Speaker 6: All he wants is you to love him and obey
• 3:39
  Speaker 6: if you can do them two things.
• 3:41
  Speaker 2: I think I could be wrong. I think he'd be
• 3:44
  Speaker 2: really cool with us. So had I known.
• 3:49
  Speaker 6: About these blessings that he had for me, I would
• 3:52
  Speaker 6: have messed him up because I would have put my
• 3:54
  Speaker 6: thinking in the figuring process, and that would ejected it
• 3:57
  Speaker 6: all up. That's the first thing I asked him why
• 4:00
  Speaker 6: I got away so long?
• 4:02
  Speaker 2: And then if he'd shown me what I was gonna
• 4:04
  Speaker 2: have to do to get it, I would have showed
• 4:07
  Speaker 2: messed that up. Man, I ain't finna do that. I
• 4:10
  Speaker 2: ain't finna do all of that.
• 4:12
  Speaker 6: Wait a minute, I got to go through all of
• 4:14
  Speaker 6: these mishaps in my life.
• 4:16
  Speaker 2: So when I get the radio show.
• 4:18
  Speaker 6: I have something to share, Man, why won't I just
• 4:22
  Speaker 6: read a couple books and share that experience with them?
• 4:25
  Speaker 2: Now?
• 4:26
  Speaker 6: See, I want you to know what you're talking about.
• 4:30
  Speaker 6: I want you to be transparent. I want people to
• 4:33
  Speaker 6: be able to identify with your struggle and apply they
• 4:36
  Speaker 6: struggle to it and see that they can get over.
• 4:39
  Speaker 2: See.
• 4:40
  Speaker 6: God never shows you all of it because he know
• 4:43
  Speaker 6: we'll mess it up.
• 4:44
  Speaker 2: I wouldn't have.
• 4:45
  Speaker 6: Any books, I certainly please know, I would not be
• 4:49
  Speaker 6: the host of family few can I tell you that
• 4:53
  Speaker 6: it is amazing man, how God works, and my invitation
• 4:58
  Speaker 6: to everybody today is allowed God to work. You know,
• 5:03
  Speaker 6: you can ask him why all you want to, And
• 5:05
  Speaker 6: from time to time I still do no good for me.
• 5:09
  Speaker 2: But that o me old woe is me? Lord? Thing
• 5:11
  Speaker 2: that don't.
• 5:11
  Speaker 6: Really get it for me, because when I start asking
• 5:15
  Speaker 6: him why, I'm asking somebody who has a thought process
• 5:18
  Speaker 6: so high above mind that there's no way if he
• 5:21
  Speaker 6: told it to me, I wouldn't even get it. You
• 5:24
  Speaker 6: wouldn't either, Uncle, I'll bright you think you are. Man,
• 5:26
  Speaker 6: You just ain't gonna get how and why he does
• 5:28
  Speaker 6: it his way. You're not going to understand it. But
• 5:32
  Speaker 6: He has a plan for each and every one of us.
• 5:35
  Speaker 6: And if we adhere to the plan, if we submit
• 5:38
  Speaker 6: ourself to his will and just say, okay, God, what
• 5:40
  Speaker 6: you want me to do, I am telling you it
• 5:43
  Speaker 6: is the best way to live.
• 5:45
  Speaker 2: Now.
• 5:46
  Speaker 6: You can also do it the way I did it
• 5:48
  Speaker 6: early on. You can just do what you want to
• 5:51
  Speaker 6: do and see how it go from now. And I
• 5:54
  Speaker 6: will tell you from personal experience, it's not going to
• 5:57
  Speaker 6: go good. My wife and I were talking the other
• 6:02
  Speaker 6: day as she said something with me and I had
• 6:04
  Speaker 6: to write it down. She says, Steve, you know the
• 6:07
  Speaker 6: funny thing about sin. She says, sining costs you more
• 6:11
  Speaker 6: than you want to pay and causes you to stay
• 6:14
  Speaker 6: longer than you want to stay. I asked my wife
• 6:19
  Speaker 6: where she got that from. She says, some old person
• 6:22
  Speaker 6: told it to her. She says, sining cost you more
• 6:25
  Speaker 6: than you want to pay and causes you to stay
• 6:28
  Speaker 6: longer than you want to stay. That's the problem, man,
• 6:31
  Speaker 6: about doing what you want to do. Because we are
• 6:34
  Speaker 6: all sinners man, all of us, all of us, every
• 6:37
  Speaker 6: last one of us a sinners. You will be a
• 6:39
  Speaker 6: sinner until you die. Now you could be saved by
• 6:42
  Speaker 6: grace but you're going to be a sinner man. You
• 6:45
  Speaker 6: are going to make mistakes. You are going to in
• 6:49
  Speaker 6: your life knowingly do wrong. I bet you will. I
• 6:54
  Speaker 6: don't know who you think you are. I don't know
• 6:56
  Speaker 6: who you've been listening to. But get this, we are sinners.
• 7:00
  Speaker 6: We were born into a world that is sinful. Now
• 7:05
  Speaker 6: it's okay, it's okay, it's our world. But we can
• 7:09
  Speaker 6: make the best of it because we can form a
• 7:11
  Speaker 6: relationship with God and we can go to war with
• 7:14
  Speaker 6: this thing, you know, and we can win. You can
• 7:16
  Speaker 6: actually get over. Being born into this world.
• 7:20
  Speaker 2: Is not an end all. It doesn't mean you're doomed,
• 7:24
  Speaker 2: nah man.
• 7:25
  Speaker 6: Because God is available to give you life, and not
• 7:28
  Speaker 6: only give you life, but give it to you more abundantly.
• 7:32
  Speaker 6: I have more of an abundant life than I've ever had.
• 7:35
  Speaker 6: If you took away the finances, trust and believe, I
• 7:40
  Speaker 6: have so many things I could tell you that I'm
• 7:42
  Speaker 6: grateful for. For my wife, for my children, man, for
• 7:47
  Speaker 6: my family, for the few friends that I have, for
• 7:52
  Speaker 6: the work that I do, man for the respect that
• 7:56
  Speaker 6: some people that I feel around, some people from the
• 7:59
  Speaker 6: repute Haiti I've earned. Now I ain't cool with everybody.
• 8:03
  Speaker 2: I got that.
• 8:04
  Speaker 6: I ain't cool with everybody. Everybody ain't cool with me.
• 8:07
  Speaker 6: Everybody don't like me. Man, get past that right there.
• 8:11
  Speaker 6: I don't care what you do. Everybody are gonna like you.
• 8:14
  Speaker 6: Some people didn't like Jesus. What did he do?
• 8:17
  Speaker 2: What did he do wrong to anybody?
• 8:21
  Speaker 6: Show it to me where he was just out there,
• 8:25
  Speaker 6: just messing over folks, and you could justify all that
• 8:28
  Speaker 6: happened to him. Just show it to me. But he
• 8:31
  Speaker 6: knew everybody ain't gonna like me. I just come to
• 8:35
  Speaker 6: save y'all, understand.
• 8:37
  Speaker 2: I got you.
• 8:38
  Speaker 6: Ain't feeling me. You're gonna spit on me. You're gonna
• 8:40
  Speaker 6: hang me up there, You're gonna.
• 8:42
  Speaker 2: Pierce my side.
• 8:43
  Speaker 6: You're gonna do all that to me. When you get through,
• 8:45
  Speaker 6: I still love you. That's a powerful statement. Man, God
• 8:49
  Speaker 6: will take care of you if you form this relationship
• 8:53
  Speaker 6: with him. He has something for you. He has a
• 8:57
  Speaker 6: plan for you that is beyond your imagine. He will
• 9:01
  Speaker 6: give you the desires of your heart. But he also
• 9:04
  Speaker 6: has some stuff in store for you that you're not
• 9:06
  Speaker 6: even asking for. That he is willing to ship to
• 9:10
  Speaker 6: an address that belongs to you as long as you
• 9:15
  Speaker 6: stay on the right path and are trying your best.
• 9:19
  Speaker 6: God to ship you the blessing anyway, because please know
• 9:21
  Speaker 6: He's done it to me. I'm a living witness to
• 9:24
  Speaker 6: this that God will ship you blessings and you ain't
• 9:26
  Speaker 6: gonna be perfect. But if he know your heart, man,
• 9:29
  Speaker 6: if he know you trying to do better, if he
• 9:32
  Speaker 6: see you trying to change, if he see you trying
• 9:34
  Speaker 6: to get it right, he understands that you're gonna stumble
• 9:38
  Speaker 6: all the way through this thing. But if he know
• 9:41
  Speaker 6: your heart and he know you trying to get it right,
• 9:44
  Speaker 6: and you're doing the best you can, boy, here ship
• 9:47
  Speaker 6: some stuff your way.
• 9:48
  Speaker 2: Man. You really be tripping, man, You will really be tripping.
• 9:52
  Speaker 2: Steve Harvey got a radio show. Man. It's crazy, ain't it.
• 9:57
  Speaker 7: You're listening to the Steve Harvey Morning Show.
• 10:03
  Speaker 6: Ladies and gentlemen, welcome to the ride on this very
• 10:07
  Speaker 6: very special MLK holiday Listen. This is a time, man,
• 10:14
  Speaker 6: where we ask everybody just consider what you can do
• 10:17
  Speaker 6: for your fellow man.
• 10:18
  Speaker 2: That's all it is.
• 10:20
  Speaker 6: We've been over this over and over and over again.
• 10:23
  Speaker 6: We're in some trying times. You already know this. Everything
• 10:27
  Speaker 6: that doctor King lived for and aspired for. Is all
• 10:32
  Speaker 6: up to the test right now, because we live in
• 10:35
  Speaker 6: a time right now where there are people in authoritative
• 10:38
  Speaker 6: position who care nothing about the principles that he lived for,
• 10:42
  Speaker 6: who care nothing about the life of legacy that he led.
• 10:48
  Speaker 6: They care nothing about it. So we are in some
• 10:51
  Speaker 6: times where we have to maintain as a people that
• 10:55
  Speaker 6: we are going to uphold and do our share and
• 10:58
  Speaker 6: our honor, our commitment to each other. I am forever
• 11:03
  Speaker 6: committed to each other as a whole, as a people,
• 11:07
  Speaker 6: and that's that's what he stood for. And so today
• 11:10
  Speaker 6: we will celebrate that. We have some special things going
• 11:14
  Speaker 6: on today. Welcome to the Ride, the Steve Harvey Morning
• 11:17
  Speaker 6: Show on Email K Day, a national holiday. Now, if
• 11:21
  Speaker 6: they get a chance to reverse that, they gonna do
• 11:23
  Speaker 6: that too. I'm telling y'all, man, but I will always
• 11:27
  Speaker 6: have an EMAILK Day. And you ain't getting it back,
• 11:30
  Speaker 6: you ain't taking it back. I'm forever, forever free.
• 11:36
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 11:37
  Speaker 6: Charlie Strawberry Coline for Reil, Mississippi, Monica Junior and the
• 11:40
  Speaker 6: legend that is Nephew Tommy.
• 11:43
  Speaker 2: Folks, how y'all doing today?
• 11:47
  Speaker 5: Good?
• 11:47
  Speaker 1: Happy Mlkday, everybody very well. You know, made holiday what
• 11:55
  Speaker 1: are you thinking about, Steve.
• 11:56
  Speaker 2: It's a bit frustrating.
• 12:02
  Speaker 6: To watch the way the world is going right now,
• 12:05
  Speaker 6: to watch the policies that's being inacted and put in place,
• 12:09
  Speaker 6: and it's just discouraging. Because man, for a minute there
• 12:15
  Speaker 6: we were trying to move this thing along. But the
• 12:19
  Speaker 6: moment that slogan got created make America great again, it
• 12:25
  Speaker 6: has been in a dismal position over here every since,
• 12:31
  Speaker 6: every sense. And if you think it's better now, you
• 12:36
  Speaker 6: are sadly mistaken. And that is for everybody. It is
• 12:39
  Speaker 6: sadly mistaken. That's why I've always implored everybody get your
• 12:43
  Speaker 6: relationship with God together, because you're gonna need it. Because
• 12:47
  Speaker 6: as they try to take back all the gains Affirmative Action, DEI,
• 12:55
  Speaker 6: everything that they can do it remove black history from schools,
• 12:59
  Speaker 6: remove history books, take down building names, replace statues.
• 13:05
  Speaker 2: I mean, man, it is crazy.
• 13:09
  Speaker 6: And then it has made the hatred in this country
• 13:14
  Speaker 6: just raise and rear their ugly head. They feel powered now.
• 13:19
  Speaker 6: And so now you can climb on a letter, you
• 13:22
  Speaker 6: can climb the Capitol walls, you can break into the
• 13:26
  Speaker 6: greatest facility up there in Washington, DC, and then get free. Wow,
• 13:30
  Speaker 6: make America great again.
• 13:32
  Speaker 2: There you have it. They killing wife over now.
• 13:35
  Speaker 7: All right, yeah, coming up at thirty two minutes after
• 13:39
  Speaker 7: the hour, we're going to play some highlights from doctor
• 13:41
  Speaker 7: King's most famous speeches.
• 13:43
  Speaker 1: Right after this.
• 13:44
  Speaker 7: You're listening Steve Harvey Morning Show.
• 13:51
  Speaker 6: Right now, here's the drum major in stique speech on
• 13:53
  Speaker 6: the Steve Harvey Martin Show.
• 13:55
  Speaker 2: And instinct.
• 13:57
  Speaker 3: It's a kind of drum major instinct, a desire to
• 14:01
  Speaker 3: be out front, a desire to lead the parade, a
• 14:06
  Speaker 3: desire to be first. And it is something that runs
• 14:12
  Speaker 3: a whole gamut of life. And so before we condemn them,
• 14:21
  Speaker 3: let us see that we all have the drum mate instinct.
• 14:26
  Speaker 2: We all want to be.
• 14:28
  Speaker 3: Important, to surpass others, to achieve distinction, to lead the parade.
• 14:39
  Speaker 3: Alfred Adler the Great, a psychoanalyst, contends that this is
• 14:46
  Speaker 3: the dominant impulse. Sigmund Fraud used to contend that sex
• 14:51
  Speaker 3: was the dominant impulse, and Adler came with a new argument,
• 14:55
  Speaker 3: saying that this quest for recognition, this desire for attention,
• 15:02
  Speaker 3: this desire for distinction, is the basic impulse, the basic
• 15:10
  Speaker 3: drive of human human life, this drum major instinct. And
• 15:17
  Speaker 3: you know, we began earlier to ask life to put
• 15:20
  Speaker 3: us first. Our first cry as a baby was a
• 15:27
  Speaker 3: bid for attention, and all through childhood the drum major
• 15:34
  Speaker 3: impulse or instinct is a major obsession. Children ask life
• 15:44
  Speaker 3: to grant them first place. They are a little bundle
• 15:49
  Speaker 3: of ego. They have innately the drum major instinct. Now
• 16:01
  Speaker 3: in adult life we still have it, and we really
• 16:04
  Speaker 3: never get by it. We like to do something good,
• 16:11
  Speaker 3: and you know, we like to be praised for it. Now,
• 16:15
  Speaker 3: if you don't believe that, you just go on living
• 16:19
  Speaker 3: life and you will discover very soon that you like.
• 16:22
  Speaker 2: To be praised.
• 16:25
  Speaker 3: Everybody likes it as a matter of fact. And somehow
• 16:30
  Speaker 3: this warm glow we feel when we are praised or
• 16:34
  Speaker 3: when our name is in print is something of the
• 16:39
  Speaker 3: vitamin A to our ego. Nobody is unhappy when they
• 16:46
  Speaker 3: are praised, even if they know they don't deserve it,
• 16:50
  Speaker 3: and even if they don't believe it. The only unhappy
• 16:54
  Speaker 3: people about praise is when that praise is going too
• 16:57
  Speaker 3: much towards somebody else.
• 17:00
  Speaker 2: Right, But everybody likes to be.
• 17:03
  Speaker 3: Praised because of this real drum major instinct. Do you
• 17:10
  Speaker 3: know that a lot of the race problem grows out
• 17:14
  Speaker 3: of the drum major instinct, a need that some people have.
• 17:20
  Speaker 2: To feel superior, a.
• 17:24
  Speaker 3: Need that some people have to feel that they are first,
• 17:29
  Speaker 3: and to feel that their white skin ordain them to
• 17:34
  Speaker 3: be first.
• 17:35
  Speaker 2: Let's just plain the day, I'm against it.
• 17:38
  Speaker 3: And they have said over and over the game in
• 17:42
  Speaker 3: ways that we see with our own eyes. In fact,
• 17:47
  Speaker 3: not too long ago, a man down in Mississippi said
• 17:50
  Speaker 3: that God was a child a member of the white Citizens' Council.
• 18:00
  Speaker 2: And so God.
• 18:01
  Speaker 3: Being the child a member means that everybody who's in
• 18:05
  Speaker 3: that has a kind of divinity, a kind of superiority.
• 18:10
  Speaker 3: And think of what has happened in historism as a
• 18:13
  Speaker 3: result of this perverted use of the drum mage instinct
• 18:19
  Speaker 3: has led to the most tragic prejudice, the most tragic
• 18:23
  Speaker 3: expressions of.
• 18:24
  Speaker 2: Man's in humanity to man.
• 18:28
  Speaker 3: And not only does this thing go into the racial struggle,
• 18:32
  Speaker 3: it goes into the struggle between nations. And I would
• 18:37
  Speaker 3: submit to you this morning that what is wrong in
• 18:40
  Speaker 3: the world today is that the nations of the world
• 18:42
  Speaker 3: engaged in a bitter, colossal contest for supremacy. And if
• 18:48
  Speaker 3: some doesn't have them to stop this trend, I'm sorely
• 18:52
  Speaker 3: afraid that we won't be here to talk about Jesus
• 18:57
  Speaker 3: Christ and about God and about brotherhood too many more years.
• 19:03
  Speaker 2: If somebody doesn't bringing into this.
• 19:07
  Speaker 3: Suicidal thrust that we see in the world today, none
• 19:13
  Speaker 3: of us are gonna be around because somebody is gonna
• 19:16
  Speaker 3: make the mistake, through our senseless blunderings, of dropping a
• 19:20
  Speaker 3: nuclear bomb somewhere, and then another one is gonna drop.
• 19:24
  Speaker 3: And don't let anybody fool you. This can happen within
• 19:29
  Speaker 3: a matter of seconds. And they have twenty megatron bombs
• 19:33
  Speaker 3: in Russia right now that can destroy a city as
• 19:36
  Speaker 3: big as New York in three seconds, with everybody wiped
• 19:39
  Speaker 3: away in every building.
• 19:41
  Speaker 2: And we can do the same thing to Russian China.
• 19:44
  Speaker 3: But this is why we are drifted, and we are
• 19:46
  Speaker 3: drifting there because nations are caught up with the drum
• 19:51
  Speaker 3: major instinct. I must be first, I must be supreme
• 19:55
  Speaker 3: all A nation must rule the world.
• 19:58
  Speaker 2: And I am sad.
• 20:00
  Speaker 3: To say that the nation in which we live is
• 20:03
  Speaker 3: the supreme culprit. And I'm going to continue to say
• 20:07
  Speaker 3: it to America because I love this country too much
• 20:12
  Speaker 3: to see the drift.
• 20:13
  Speaker 2: That it has taken.
• 20:15
  Speaker 3: God didn't call America to do what she's doing in
• 20:18
  Speaker 3: the world. Now, God didn't call America to engage in
• 20:23
  Speaker 3: a senseless, unjust war as a war in Vietnam, and
• 20:28
  Speaker 3: we are criminals in that war. We've committed more war
• 20:32
  Speaker 3: crimes almost than any nation in the world.
• 20:34
  Speaker 2: And I'm going to continue to say it, and we won't.
• 20:37
  Speaker 3: Stop it because of our pride, and I recon sell
• 20:41
  Speaker 3: the nation. But God has a way of even putting
• 20:44
  Speaker 3: nations in that place.
• 20:46
  Speaker 2: The God that I.
• 20:47
  Speaker 3: Worship has a way of saying, don't play with me.
• 20:53
  Speaker 2: He has a way of saying.
• 20:55
  Speaker 3: There's a God of the Old Testament used to say
• 20:58
  Speaker 3: the Hebrew.
• 21:00
  Speaker 2: Don't play with me.
• 21:02
  Speaker 3: Don't play with Smith Babylon be stealing. Know that I'm God.
• 21:10
  Speaker 3: If you don't stuck your reckless cross our rise up
• 21:13
  Speaker 3: and break the backbone of your power. Nothing happened to America. Yeah,
• 21:20
  Speaker 3: every nine and then I go back and read Gibbon's
• 21:22
  Speaker 3: Decline and Fall of the Roman Empire.
• 21:25
  Speaker 2: When I come and look.
• 21:26
  Speaker 3: At America, I say to myself, the parallels are frightening.
• 21:31
  Speaker 2: We'll be right back, y'all.
• 21:32
  Speaker 1: You're listening to the Steve Harvey Morning Show, coming up.
• 21:39
  Speaker 7: At the top of the hour, we will interview Georgia
• 21:42
  Speaker 7: Senator Reverend Rafael Warnock on this King holiday. But right
• 21:46
  Speaker 7: now we continue with doctor King's speech about recognition and leadership,
• 21:51
  Speaker 7: the drum major instinct speech.
• 21:54
  Speaker 3: Nobody is unhappy when they are praised, even if they
• 21:59
  Speaker 3: know they don't deserve it, and even if they don't
• 22:01
  Speaker 3: believe it. The only unhappy people about praise is when
• 22:06
  Speaker 3: that praise is going too much towards somebody else. But
• 22:11
  Speaker 3: everybody likes to be praised because of this.
• 22:16
  Speaker 2: Real drum major instinct.
• 22:20
  Speaker 3: But you know that a lot of the race problem
• 22:23
  Speaker 3: grows out of the drum major instinct, a need that
• 22:28
  Speaker 3: some people have to feel superior, a need that some
• 22:35
  Speaker 3: people have to feel that they are first, and to
• 22:40
  Speaker 3: feel that their white skin ordain them to be first.
• 22:47
  Speaker 8: Day because I've against it.
• 22:48
  Speaker 3: And they have said over and over the game in
• 22:52
  Speaker 3: ways that we see with our own eyes. In fact,
• 22:57
  Speaker 3: not too long ago, a man down in Mississippi said
• 23:01
  Speaker 3: that God was a charter member of the White Citizens' Council,
• 23:10
  Speaker 3: and so God being the charter member means that everybody
• 23:15
  Speaker 3: who's in that has a kind of divinity, a kind
• 23:19
  Speaker 3: of superiority, and think of what has happened in historism
• 23:23
  Speaker 3: as a result of this perverted use of the drum
• 23:28
  Speaker 3: made instincts led to the most tragic prejudice, the most
• 23:33
  Speaker 3: tragic expressions.
• 23:34
  Speaker 2: Of man's in humanity to man.
• 23:40
  Speaker 3: And not only does this thing go into the racial struggle,
• 23:45
  Speaker 3: it goes into the struggle between nations. And I would
• 23:50
  Speaker 3: submit to you this morning that what is wrong in
• 23:53
  Speaker 3: the world today is that the nations of the world
• 23:55
  Speaker 3: engaged in a bitter, colossal contest for supremacy. And if
• 24:01
  Speaker 3: some doesn't have them to stop this trend, I'm sorely
• 24:05
  Speaker 3: afraid that we won't be here to talk about Jesus
• 24:10
  Speaker 3: Christ and about God and about brotherhood too many more years.
• 24:16
  Speaker 3: If somebody doesn't bring it in to this suicidal.
• 24:21
  Speaker 2: Thrust that we see in the world.
• 24:22
  Speaker 3: Today, none of us are going to be around because
• 24:27
  Speaker 3: somebody is gonna make the mistake, through our senseless blunderings,
• 24:32
  Speaker 3: of dropping a nuclear bomb somewhere, and then another one
• 24:36
  Speaker 3: is gonna drop. And don't let anybody fool you, this
• 24:41
  Speaker 3: can happen within a matter of seconds. They have twenty
• 24:44
  Speaker 3: megatron bombs in Russia right now that can destroy our
• 24:48
  Speaker 3: city as big as New York in three seconds, with
• 24:51
  Speaker 3: everybody wiped away in every building, and we can do
• 24:55
  Speaker 3: the same thing to Russian China. But this is why
• 24:57
  Speaker 3: we are drifted, and we are drifting that because nations
• 25:02
  Speaker 3: are caught up with the drum major instinct.
• 25:05
  Speaker 2: I must be first, I must be supreme all a
• 25:08
  Speaker 2: nation must rule the world.
• 25:11
  Speaker 3: And I am sad to say that the nation in
• 25:14
  Speaker 3: which we live is the supreme culprit. And I'm going
• 25:19
  Speaker 3: to continue to say it to America because I love
• 25:23
  Speaker 3: this country too much to see the drift that.
• 25:26
  Speaker 2: It has taken.
• 25:28
  Speaker 3: God didn't call America to do what she's doing in
• 25:31
  Speaker 3: the world now. God didn't call America to engage in
• 25:36
  Speaker 3: a senseless, unjust war as a war in Vietnam.
• 25:41
  Speaker 2: And we are criminals in that ward.
• 25:43
  Speaker 3: We've committed more war crimes almost than any nation in
• 25:46
  Speaker 3: the world. And I'm going to continue to say it,
• 25:49
  Speaker 3: and we won't stop it because of our pride, and
• 25:53
  Speaker 3: I recon sell the nation. But God has a way
• 25:57
  Speaker 3: of even putting nations in that place. God that I
• 26:00
  Speaker 3: worship has a way of saying, don't play with me.
• 26:07
  Speaker 3: He has a way of saying there's a god of
• 26:10
  Speaker 3: the Old Testament used to say the Hebrews, don't play
• 26:14
  Speaker 3: with me, Israel, don't play with me Babylon. Be steal
• 26:20
  Speaker 3: and know that I'm God. And if you don't stuck
• 26:25
  Speaker 3: your reckless course, I'll rise up and break the backbone
• 26:29
  Speaker 3: of your power. That can happen to America. Every nine
• 26:35
  Speaker 3: then I go back and read Gibbons Decline and fall
• 26:38
  Speaker 3: of the Roman Empire.
• 26:39
  Speaker 2: And when I come and look.
• 26:41
  Speaker 3: At America, I say to myself, the parallels are frightening.
• 26:47
  Speaker 3: We have perverted the drum maid's instinct.
• 26:53
  Speaker 2: Every nine then I.
• 26:54
  Speaker 3: Guess we all think realistically, yes, about that day when
• 27:00
  Speaker 3: we will be victimized with what is life's final common denominator.
• 27:06
  Speaker 3: That's something we call death. We all think about it.
• 27:13
  Speaker 3: And every nine and then I think about my own death,
• 27:17
  Speaker 3: and I think about my own funeral, and I don't
• 27:20
  Speaker 3: think of it in a morbid sense. Every nine then
• 27:24
  Speaker 3: I asked myself what is it that I would want say?
• 27:30
  Speaker 2: And I leave the word to you this morning, if
• 27:34
  Speaker 2: any of you around when I have to meet my day,
• 27:38
  Speaker 2: I don't want a long funeral.
• 27:42
  Speaker 3: And if it gets somebody to deliver the eulogy. Tell
• 27:45
  Speaker 3: them not to talk too long.
• 27:47
  Speaker 2: And every nine and then I wonder what I want
• 27:50
  Speaker 2: them to say.
• 27:50
  Speaker 3: Tell them not the mintion that I have a nobel
• 27:53
  Speaker 3: peace pride.
• 27:54
  Speaker 2: That isn't important. Tell them not to mention that I
• 27:58
  Speaker 2: have three or four hundred of our world.
• 28:00
  Speaker 3: That's not important. Tell him not to mention where I
• 28:02
  Speaker 3: went to school. I like somebody to mention that day,
• 28:08
  Speaker 3: then Martin Luther King Junior tried to give his life
• 28:12
  Speaker 3: serving others. I'd like for somebody to say that day
• 28:17
  Speaker 3: that Martin Luther King Junior tried to love somebody. I
• 28:22
  Speaker 3: want you to say that day that I tried to
• 28:24
  Speaker 3: be right on the walk question. I want you to
• 28:28
  Speaker 3: be able to say that day that I did try
• 28:32
  Speaker 3: to feed the hungrad I want you to be able
• 28:35
  Speaker 3: to say that day that I did try in my
• 28:38
  Speaker 3: life to close those who were neked.
• 28:41
  Speaker 2: I want you to say on that day that.
• 28:43
  Speaker 3: I did try in my life to visit thors who
• 28:46
  Speaker 3: were imprisoned. I want you to say that I.
• 28:50
  Speaker 2: Tried to love and serve humanity.
• 28:54
  Speaker 3: Yes, if you want to say that I was a
• 28:56
  Speaker 3: drum major, say that I was a drum major for justice.
• 29:01
  Speaker 3: Say that I was a drum major for peace. I
• 29:04
  Speaker 3: was a drum major for righteousness. And all of the
• 29:07
  Speaker 3: other shallow things will not matter. I won't have any
• 29:12
  Speaker 3: money to leave behind, I won't have the fine and
• 29:17
  Speaker 3: luxurious things of life to leave behind. But I just
• 29:20
  Speaker 3: want to leave or committed life behind, and.
• 29:24
  Speaker 2: That's all I want to say. If I can help
• 29:27
  Speaker 2: somebody as.
• 29:28
  Speaker 3: I pass along, if I can cheer somebody with a
• 29:33
  Speaker 3: wilder song, if I can show somebody he's traveling wrong,
• 29:37
  Speaker 3: then my living will not be invained. If I can
• 29:42
  Speaker 3: do my duty as a Christian art, if I can
• 29:45
  Speaker 3: bring salvation to a wall once wrought, if I can
• 29:49
  Speaker 3: spread the message as the Master taught, then my.
• 29:54
  Speaker 2: Living will not be in vained.
• 29:57
  Speaker 3: Yes, Jesus, I want to be on your right, your
• 30:00
  Speaker 3: left side, not for any selfish reason. I want to
• 30:04
  Speaker 3: be on your right, on your left side, not in
• 30:08
  Speaker 3: times of some political kingdom or ambition, And I just
• 30:12
  Speaker 3: want to be there in love and injustice.
• 30:17
  Speaker 6: Attention to Steve Harvey Nation. On this king Holiday, I
• 30:20
  Speaker 6: want to see y'all giving back to day. Okay, please
• 30:23
  Speaker 6: don't just make this a day off, make it a
• 30:25
  Speaker 6: day on. Okay, We'll be right back y'all.
• 30:27
  Speaker 7: You're listening Steve Harvey Morning Show.
• 30:35
  Speaker 6: Doctor Martin Luther King Junior once said that life's most
• 30:38
  Speaker 6: persistent and urgent question is what are you doing for others?
• 30:43
  Speaker 6: Come together, everybody and serve your communities. How he's influenced
• 30:47
  Speaker 6: me is big. He's a reason I'm here. He's a
• 30:50
  Speaker 6: reason why the elections stuff is going on today is
• 30:53
  Speaker 6: the way it is. You know, this man, you know,
• 30:55
  Speaker 6: gave his life for what he believed in. So he
• 30:57
  Speaker 6: meant the world to me, you know. And yes, I
• 31:00
  Speaker 6: named after Martin. Everybody else promised we got a special
• 31:04
  Speaker 6: guest this morning. He's a family member, though he's a
• 31:08
  Speaker 6: family member right around the corner from us, most of
• 31:11
  Speaker 6: us that live in this vicinity. He's a United States Senator.
• 31:16
  Speaker 6: He's also Georgia's first black senator. He's also served as
• 31:21
  Speaker 6: the senior pastor at the Ebenezia Baptist Church in Atlanta
• 31:25
  Speaker 6: since two thousand and five.
• 31:27
  Speaker 2: And this is the very church.
• 31:29
  Speaker 6: That doctor Martin Luther King passed during the Civil rights movement.
• 31:34
  Speaker 6: So it's only fitting that he joins us to highlight
• 31:37
  Speaker 6: doctor King's legacy.
• 31:38
  Speaker 2: So let's get to it.
• 31:39
  Speaker 6: Please, welcome to the show the Honorable Reverend doctor Senator
• 31:42
  Speaker 6: Raphael Warnut.
• 31:44
  Speaker 1: Yeah, welcome back.
• 31:46
  Speaker 8: Hello, so great to be with you.
• 31:50
  Speaker 5: Man.
• 31:50
  Speaker 2: How you feeling man, Happy King day?
• 31:53
  Speaker 8: You know, I'm feeling good. I'm feeling inspired and encouraged.
• 31:58
  Speaker 8: And and here's why that they found strange at a
• 32:01
  Speaker 8: time like this, But you know, every time we come
• 32:04
  Speaker 8: around to this time of year celebrating doctor Martin Uther King, Jr.
• 32:10
  Speaker 8: I'm reminded not only of his work, but of the
• 32:14
  Speaker 8: improbable odds that he could succeed. You know, I think
• 32:19
  Speaker 8: we look back at the civil rights movement and we
• 32:23
  Speaker 8: act as if those victories were inevitable. They were quite improbable,
• 32:27
  Speaker 8: they were unlikely. And yet he and the band, the
• 32:31
  Speaker 8: folks who stood with him, set out in their words
• 32:35
  Speaker 8: to redeem the soul of America, and all of us
• 32:39
  Speaker 8: are the blessed beneficiaries of the efforts of them keeping
• 32:42
  Speaker 8: the faith. And I think that's so important in the
• 32:44
  Speaker 8: moment like this, when it's so dark and we are
• 32:48
  Speaker 8: tempted to give in and to give up. Who are
• 32:52
  Speaker 8: we to give up? Doctor King and others stood up
• 32:55
  Speaker 8: and we're called, this is our moment, this is our time.
• 33:00
  Speaker 6: Yeah, you know, let's kind of stay right there too, Senator,
• 33:03
  Speaker 6: because you know, let's talk about the current state that
• 33:08
  Speaker 6: we are in here in this country, especially under this
• 33:10
  Speaker 6: current leadership and administration, it's been focusing on erasing the
• 33:15
  Speaker 6: civil rights movement from history books. What message do you
• 33:20
  Speaker 6: have for the younger generation, especially for men, to kind
• 33:24
  Speaker 6: of keep them encouraged.
• 33:27
  Speaker 8: Now, there's no question there's an all out of sault
• 33:31
  Speaker 8: on our humanity. And you know what I would say
• 33:36
  Speaker 8: to young men who are listening to me right now,
• 33:38
  Speaker 8: and what I would say to people of color, is
• 33:43
  Speaker 8: that obviously your adversary see your power. If you don't
• 33:48
  Speaker 8: know that you're powerful, your adversaries certainly know it. If
• 33:51
  Speaker 8: you don't know that your vote matters, clearly they know
• 33:55
  Speaker 8: that it counts and that it matters. Otherwise they wouldn't
• 33:59
  Speaker 8: be working so hard to rob you of your power,
• 34:01
  Speaker 8: to rob you of your vote, to rob you of
• 34:04
  Speaker 8: your voice. And I can tell you, as someone who
• 34:06
  Speaker 8: ran for the United States sinning and won a couple
• 34:10
  Speaker 8: of times, that I've seen this firsthand. You know, as
• 34:14
  Speaker 8: I won the first time, they came after my victory
• 34:18
  Speaker 8: with surgical precision, with all kinds of tricks to try
• 34:21
  Speaker 8: to make it difficult for us to win. We literally
• 34:23
  Speaker 8: had to take them to court so that people could
• 34:27
  Speaker 8: vote the first weekend of the runoff, because they saw
• 34:29
  Speaker 8: this multi racial coalition of conscience standing up at a
• 34:34
  Speaker 8: moment in our country saying we're going to do this,
• 34:37
  Speaker 8: and we won. And I won in some ways, I
• 34:41
  Speaker 8: wasn't really by the margin of our victory in court.
• 34:45
  Speaker 2: And so in this moment.
• 34:47
  Speaker 8: Know that you have power, you have possibility, you have
• 34:51
  Speaker 8: a voice. Often say that a vote is a kind
• 34:54
  Speaker 8: of prayer for the world that we desire for ourselves
• 34:58
  Speaker 8: and for our children, and we have to pray with
• 35:00
  Speaker 8: our lips and our legs, our hands, and our feet.
• 35:03
  Speaker 8: Refuse to give in to those who're trying to weaponize
• 35:07
  Speaker 8: despair the civil rights movement, Doctor King, but not only him,
• 35:12
  Speaker 8: people like Fanny lou Hamer and Ella Baker, some of
• 35:16
  Speaker 8: the young people and the women who stood up with him.
• 35:19
  Speaker 8: Reminded us that it's really not about the people in power.
• 35:22
  Speaker 8: Its about the power that's in the people. And in
• 35:26
  Speaker 8: this moment when fifteen million Americans have lost their healthcare,
• 35:31
  Speaker 8: in this moment when they're literally trying to erase, as
• 35:34
  Speaker 8: you said, Steve, our history in this moment in which
• 35:39
  Speaker 8: they are putting boots on the ground in our cities,
• 35:44
  Speaker 8: militarizing our streets, trying to convince us that our adversaries
• 35:50
  Speaker 8: are our neighbors, that we are at war with one another.
• 35:55
  Speaker 8: We have to stand up in this moment. And as
• 35:57
  Speaker 8: doctor King said, the ark of the moral universe is long,
• 36:01
  Speaker 8: but it bends towards justice. And I pray that in
• 36:04
  Speaker 8: this day and in this moment, we'll be inspired to
• 36:07
  Speaker 8: keep been in that art.
• 36:08
  Speaker 6: Hey, a doctor Warner, can you hold on? Sorry, Senator Warner,
• 36:12
  Speaker 6: can you hold on one second. We're going to take
• 36:15
  Speaker 6: a break, and we're going to keep you a little
• 36:16
  Speaker 6: bit longer because we want to hear more of this.
• 36:18
  Speaker 6: We'll be right back with more of the Steve Harvey
• 36:20
  Speaker 6: Morning Show.
• 36:23
  Speaker 7: It took America two hundred and seven years to create
• 36:27
  Speaker 7: a holiday. I didn't know that either, honoring a person
• 36:30
  Speaker 7: of African descent, and even that was a bitter struggle.
• 36:33
  Speaker 7: You remember, back on November two, nineteen eighty three, President
• 36:37
  Speaker 7: Ronald Reagan signed a bill creating a federal holiday. And
• 36:42
  Speaker 7: coming up, we are going to play some of doctor
• 36:44
  Speaker 7: King's I Have a Dream speech in which he called
• 36:46
  Speaker 7: for racial equality.
• 36:48
  Speaker 1: And an end to discrimination.
• 36:49
  Speaker 2: That's my speech.
• 36:50
  Speaker 1: Yes, yes, yes.
• 36:52
  Speaker 7: King's delivery of the speech on August twenty eighth, nineteen
• 36:55
  Speaker 7: sixty three, from the steps of the Lincoln Memorial during
• 36:58
  Speaker 7: the March on Washington for Jobs and Freedom was a
• 37:01
  Speaker 7: defining moment of the American civil rights moment. Delivered to
• 37:04
  Speaker 7: over two hundred thousand civil rights supporters, the speech is
• 37:08
  Speaker 7: often considered to be one of the greatest and most
• 37:11
  Speaker 7: notable speeches.
• 37:13
  Speaker 1: In human history.
• 37:14
  Speaker 2: Oh, no doubt, it was a great sho Yes.
• 37:16
  Speaker 1: Yes, yes, yeah. You're listening to Steve Harvey Morning Show.
• 37:24
  Speaker 6: A right, everybody, we're back and special guest this morning
• 37:28
  Speaker 6: is a Senator, doctor, doctor Senator Raphael Warnock, who is
• 37:33
  Speaker 6: the pastor the Ebenezer Baptist Church, the same church that
• 37:36
  Speaker 6: was pasted by the legendary honorable Doctor King, Martin Luther King,
• 37:42
  Speaker 6: and he's with us today and we're talking about several
• 37:46
  Speaker 6: things here. You know, man, when you talk about when
• 37:49
  Speaker 6: you were talking about the crisis here in the country,
• 37:53
  Speaker 6: about how hard of a cahart it is with the
• 37:55
  Speaker 6: cost of living and all of these things like this,
• 37:58
  Speaker 6: and you said we were in a spiritual crisis tell
• 38:02
  Speaker 6: me what you meant by that.
• 38:04
  Speaker 8: Well, look, the fact of the matter is all of
• 38:07
  Speaker 8: this did not happen all at once. Over the last
• 38:13
  Speaker 8: few decades, we have seen a massive transfer of wealth
• 38:19
  Speaker 8: from the bottom to the top. By the way, last summer,
• 38:22
  Speaker 8: we did see with the passage of the what they
• 38:25
  Speaker 8: allegedly called the One Big, Beautiful Bill, the largest transfer
• 38:29
  Speaker 8: of wealth from the bottom to the top in American history,
• 38:34
  Speaker 8: and just that one bill. But this has been going
• 38:36
  Speaker 8: on for a long time, and Americans have seen a
• 38:42
  Speaker 8: growing chasm, not only in terms of wealth, but a
• 38:45
  Speaker 8: growing chasm between the things that they need, like healthcare,
• 38:50
  Speaker 8: a livable wage, affordable housing. In a country where now,
• 38:55
  Speaker 8: on average, the age of a first time homeowner now
• 38:59
  Speaker 8: has gone up to age forty, Americans have sat back
• 39:03
  Speaker 8: and watched us witness horror after horror of mass shooting
• 39:07
  Speaker 8: after mass shooting, and yet we can't get the kind
• 39:10
  Speaker 8: of legislation that we need through the Congress. And so
• 39:14
  Speaker 8: as people see this happen, there's growing chasm between their
• 39:19
  Speaker 8: needs and what the government is able to deliver to
• 39:22
  Speaker 8: its people. At a democracy, the cynicism sets in and
• 39:27
  Speaker 8: people become very frustrated and angry, and rather than looking
• 39:31
  Speaker 8: towards one another, they start to turn on each other.
• 39:35
  Speaker 8: And I think that that really creates the ground and
• 39:38
  Speaker 8: sets the context for a strong man like Donald Trump
• 39:42
  Speaker 8: who comes along and says, you know, I'm I'm the
• 39:45
  Speaker 8: only one who can solve your problem. And sadly many
• 39:49
  Speaker 8: of our citizens heard that message. But that ain't that
• 39:53
  Speaker 8: they feel is real. It's the solution that was wrong,
• 39:57
  Speaker 8: and the strong men like him step into the gap,
• 40:01
  Speaker 8: and they further divide us. And so that's what I
• 40:03
  Speaker 8: mean by the spiritual crisis. I believe that spiritual needs
• 40:08
  Speaker 8: and meeting people's physical needs are inextricably connected, and when
• 40:13
  Speaker 8: those things can't happen, it represents a basic tear in
• 40:18
  Speaker 8: the covenant and the fabric of the covenant that we
• 40:21
  Speaker 8: have of one another as an American people. And so
• 40:23
  Speaker 8: as a pastor who serves in the Senate, as the
• 40:27
  Speaker 8: leader of Doctor King's Ebenezer Baptist Church, who serves in
• 40:32
  Speaker 8: government every single day preaching them about Jesus feeding the
• 40:36
  Speaker 8: five thousand, and then trying to deliver that through public policy.
• 40:40
  Speaker 8: When I go up to Washington during the week, I'm
• 40:43
  Speaker 8: calling us to renew the commitment that we have to
• 40:46
  Speaker 8: one another as an American people, the whole, powerful politicians
• 40:52
  Speaker 8: and the corporate lobbyists and big corporate entities that own them,
• 40:58
  Speaker 8: to hold them accountable. Certainly, we're looking towards the midterm,
• 41:02
  Speaker 8: but we can't wait until the midterm. We have to
• 41:04
  Speaker 8: continue to fight the good fight in this moment.
• 41:07
  Speaker 6: Yeah. Hey, hold on, doctor Warner, Senator Warner. Oh, we'll
• 41:12
  Speaker 6: be right back. We got more with the Steve Harvey
• 41:14
  Speaker 6: Morning Show right after this.
• 41:18
  Speaker 1: Harvey Morning Show.
• 41:23
  Speaker 6: And everybody, We're back on the Steve Harvey Morning Show.
• 41:26
  Speaker 6: And our very very special guest this morning is Reverend
• 41:29
  Speaker 6: doctor Raphael Warnock, Senator from Georgia.
• 41:32
  Speaker 2: I like all mine. If I get to be any
• 41:35
  Speaker 2: of it.
• 41:35
  Speaker 8: I don't care what you call. Just call me a
• 41:37
  Speaker 8: time for lunch.
• 41:39
  Speaker 6: Yeah, Senator, here's here's a pressing thing that comes through
• 41:43
  Speaker 6: our phone lines and emails bag all the time. We
• 41:47
  Speaker 6: know who the president is. I mean, we're stunned at
• 41:52
  Speaker 6: what he's allowed to say, what he's allowed to do,
• 41:56
  Speaker 6: and how he goes about doing it. And we watched
• 41:59
  Speaker 6: the Republican Party. This man has taken over a party
• 42:05
  Speaker 6: to the point where whatever he says, goals, what are
• 42:10
  Speaker 6: we doing or what can we do about this? Because
• 42:13
  Speaker 6: it just seems like he just got free hand.
• 42:16
  Speaker 8: Part of what we've got to do is we've got
• 42:20
  Speaker 8: to we've got to flip the House and we've got
• 42:22
  Speaker 8: to flip the Senate. We can do that in twenty
• 42:25
  Speaker 8: twenty six, and that will put some checks on this president.
• 42:29
  Speaker 8: The challenge we have right now is that they have
• 42:32
  Speaker 8: a trifector. They've got the White House, they got the House,
• 42:36
  Speaker 8: and they've got the Senate. So you take the House,
• 42:38
  Speaker 8: for example, if we had the majority in the House,
• 42:41
  Speaker 8: we'd have subpoena power. We'd be able to call folks
• 42:45
  Speaker 8: to account, We'd be able to hold them accountable in
• 42:47
  Speaker 8: a different way. Now, we still do have some of
• 42:50
  Speaker 8: that power because I sit on committees in the Senate
• 42:53
  Speaker 8: where the various secretaries of this administration have to come
• 42:56
  Speaker 8: in front of us. And if you go back, you
• 43:00
  Speaker 8: know a few months ago, I was one of the
• 43:03
  Speaker 8: first members of Congress to call for Secretary of Pete
• 43:06
  Speaker 8: Hexcess dismissal. I said that the President ought to fire him,
• 43:10
  Speaker 8: and if he didn't fire him, he needed to resign.
• 43:12
  Speaker 8: And so, as a member of the Senate. As a
• 43:14
  Speaker 8: member of Congress, we have the power of oversight to
• 43:18
  Speaker 8: hold people accountable, but they do have the majority, and
• 43:22
  Speaker 8: so what we've seen is these Republicans literally just give
• 43:26
  Speaker 8: all their power over to the President. And the answer
• 43:31
  Speaker 8: to that is for us to make sure we show
• 43:34
  Speaker 8: up and show up big in the midterms. Flip the House,
• 43:37
  Speaker 8: flip the Senate. We can check him and hold him
• 43:40
  Speaker 8: to account, and then come twenty twenty eight, we can
• 43:44
  Speaker 8: then win the White House. And if we win the
• 43:47
  Speaker 8: White House, We've got a whole range of things that
• 43:49
  Speaker 8: I think we ought to be doing around healthcare, around
• 43:52
  Speaker 8: affordable housing, and most importantly, around repairing our democracy because
• 43:58
  Speaker 8: increasingly we've seen the people's voice squeeze out of their democracy.
• 44:03
  Speaker 8: And again, because this is King Day, I'm always inspired
• 44:07
  Speaker 8: by that movement and by what it represented. Right after
• 44:10
  Speaker 8: they passed the Civil Rights Bill into law, doctor King
• 44:13
  Speaker 8: and those who were working with him went to see
• 44:15
  Speaker 8: President Johnson, who was the president at the time and
• 44:19
  Speaker 8: something of an ally in the White House, and Doctor
• 44:22
  Speaker 8: King said, you know, I'm glad you were able to
• 44:25
  Speaker 8: help us and we got the civil Rights Bill passed
• 44:27
  Speaker 8: and the law. He said, I need a voting rights law.
• 44:30
  Speaker 8: Doctor King wasted no time. He said, I need voting rights,
• 44:32
  Speaker 8: and the President began to say in various ways, Doctor King,
• 44:36
  Speaker 8: you're right, I understand, but I can't get that done
• 44:39
  Speaker 8: right now. The President of the United States kept saying
• 44:41
  Speaker 8: various ways, I don't have the power. I just don't
• 44:44
  Speaker 8: have the power Martin to do that right now. And
• 44:47
  Speaker 8: they left the meeting, and the staff was sealing, all
• 44:50
  Speaker 8: dejected and demoralized and said, Doc, what are we going
• 44:52
  Speaker 8: to do. The President of the United States said he
• 44:54
  Speaker 8: doesn't have the power to get us some voting rights,
• 44:57
  Speaker 8: and doctor King said, well, if the President doesn't have
• 45:00
  Speaker 8: any power, we're going to have to go back down
• 45:02
  Speaker 8: to the South and get himself. That the King understood
• 45:05
  Speaker 8: that the power really is with the people, and so
• 45:08
  Speaker 8: that a people like me who really are fighting every
• 45:10
  Speaker 8: single day for the people that we represent. But I'm
• 45:15
  Speaker 8: really clear that it's really ordinary, everyday people who organize,
• 45:20
  Speaker 8: who stand up, who push back, who create the context
• 45:23
  Speaker 8: for the change that we need to see in our country.
• 45:26
  Speaker 6: Well, brother, I'll tell you what all we need is
• 45:28
  Speaker 6: to march in orders around here. And I think it's
• 45:31
  Speaker 6: clear you've given it to us. Because okay, look, the
• 45:34
  Speaker 6: mid terms, so we can bust up this trifecta. You
• 45:37
  Speaker 6: can't just you just running gangst uff in here now, man.
• 45:40
  Speaker 6: So we you know, you know we we're gonna show
• 45:43
  Speaker 6: up in the polls. You right, We got to show up, man.
• 45:46
  Speaker 6: So mid terms is the call. That's what we're gonna.
• 45:49
  Speaker 2: Do, sir.
• 45:50
  Speaker 8: The answer to this is the win the winding mid terms.
• 45:53
  Speaker 6: All right, that's what we're gonna do, Senator warnick Man,
• 45:56
  Speaker 6: thank you so much. I appreciate your efforts man, and
• 45:59
  Speaker 6: your heart.
• 46:00
  Speaker 8: I will have I'd be remiss about it and remind you,
• 46:02
  Speaker 8: Steve that doctor King was an alpha. I love you guys.
• 46:15
  Speaker 7: All right, you're listening to the Steve Harvey Morning Show.
• 46:23
  Speaker 7: We gotta say Happy MLK Day. Today is Martin Luther
• 46:27
  Speaker 7: King Day. We are celebrating. But even though we are
• 46:30
  Speaker 7: celebrating Martin Luther King, who stood for peace, America is
• 46:34
  Speaker 7: just still so divided with hate and racism these days,
• 46:38
  Speaker 7: and now more than ever, should we make it our
• 46:43
  Speaker 7: purpose to live out doctor King's legacy. However, just last week,
• 46:48
  Speaker 7: during an interview with The New York Times, President Trump
• 46:51
  Speaker 7: doubled down in his attacks against diversity, equity, and inclusion,
• 46:57
  Speaker 7: DEI claiming that white people have been quote very badly
• 47:01
  Speaker 7: treated since the passage of the nineteen sixty four Civil
• 47:05
  Speaker 7: Rights Act.
• 47:06
  Speaker 2: What how becuse me?
• 47:10
  Speaker 7: He said, quote well, I think that a lot of
• 47:12
  Speaker 7: people were very badly treated. White people were very badly
• 47:16
  Speaker 7: treated when they did extremely where they did extremely well,
• 47:20
  Speaker 7: and they were not invited to go to a university
• 47:23
  Speaker 7: or college. Now, according to US News, Trump's comments were
• 47:27
  Speaker 7: a clear attack on affirmative action for college admissions, which
• 47:31
  Speaker 7: was effectively ended by a twenty twenty three Supreme Court ruling.
• 47:35
  Speaker 7: We all remember that he did not cite any data
• 47:41
  Speaker 7: suggesting that white students have been disadvantaged by the Civil
• 47:45
  Speaker 7: Rights Act or the Civil Rights Policy. NAACP president Derek
• 47:49
  Speaker 7: Johnson says that there was no evidence that white men
• 47:53
  Speaker 7: were discriminated against as a result of the civil rights movement,
• 47:57
  Speaker 7: but he just is allowed to say.
• 48:01
  Speaker 6: The Vice President had said a week before that he
• 48:05
  Speaker 6: was in a speech saying, at some little convention they have,
• 48:09
  Speaker 6: he said that we're trying to create a country where
• 48:16
  Speaker 6: white people don't have to be ashamed of being white,
• 48:20
  Speaker 6: or white people don't have to apologize for being white.
• 48:26
  Speaker 6: Let me say this as a black person, I have
• 48:28
  Speaker 6: never ever required, not a single white person I know,
• 48:32
  Speaker 6: to apologize to me for being white. I have never
• 48:36
  Speaker 6: ever required that. I am fine with everybody being who
• 48:40
  Speaker 6: they are, whatever color you are. What he means by
• 48:45
  Speaker 6: that statement, I think is that we want to create
• 48:50
  Speaker 6: an America what white people don't have to apologize for
• 48:53
  Speaker 6: being white. I think what he really meant to say
• 48:58
  Speaker 6: is he's tired of people thinking they have to apologize
• 49:03
  Speaker 6: for what they've done. That's really what it is. So
• 49:09
  Speaker 6: you want to be okay to go about the business
• 49:12
  Speaker 6: of doing what you've been doing and to not have
• 49:15
  Speaker 6: to apologize for it. Because what that statement says to
• 49:20
  Speaker 6: me is when you say I don't want white people
• 49:24
  Speaker 6: that have to apologize for being white, what you're saying
• 49:27
  Speaker 6: is I don't want white people to have to apologize
• 49:29
  Speaker 6: for doing the things that we do because we're white.
• 49:33
  Speaker 6: And this only goes for a very very small percentage
• 49:36
  Speaker 6: of white people. The majority of white people I know
• 49:42
  Speaker 6: are really cool people. The majority. But it's enough in power,
• 49:49
  Speaker 6: enough in people in position, it's enough people behind closed
• 49:54
  Speaker 6: doors to negate all the good work that they do do,
• 50:00
  Speaker 6: and it's at the forefront and just look at what
• 50:02
  Speaker 6: they're doing right now. Every game they wanted back, because
• 50:09
  Speaker 6: that's all a part of making America great again. To
• 50:13
  Speaker 6: take back any games that you've given to anybody that
• 50:17
  Speaker 6: isn't white. That's all this is. That's why you get
• 50:22
  Speaker 6: rid of affirmative action. DEI nobody, no man. What DEI
• 50:26
  Speaker 6: did was it was to level the playing field so
• 50:30
  Speaker 6: you would have to consider hiring other people other than
• 50:35
  Speaker 6: your friends and your circle.
• 50:36
  Speaker 2: That's what DEI was created for.
• 50:38
  Speaker 6: It made you have to consider because what they were
• 50:42
  Speaker 6: doing was they were just doing the little good old
• 50:44
  Speaker 6: boy game and just bringing a family nepotism, putting people
• 50:48
  Speaker 6: in position they wanted to. But d I said you
• 50:50
  Speaker 6: had to consider this, and it didn't say you have
• 50:52
  Speaker 6: to consider them even if they were a lesser candidate.
• 50:56
  Speaker 6: That's not what it said. Like Charlie Kirk was trying
• 50:58
  Speaker 6: to say, No, DULD created so you would have to
• 51:01
  Speaker 6: consider consider the qualified people for the position. D I
• 51:08
  Speaker 6: didn't create a bunch of unqualified people in a bunch
• 51:11
  Speaker 6: of positions they didn't belong in.
• 51:13
  Speaker 2: It never.
• 51:14
  Speaker 6: It never did that. It made you have to consider
• 51:19
  Speaker 6: qualified people to feel positions in this country. They've now
• 51:24
  Speaker 6: taken that back where Now all they're saying is we
• 51:26
  Speaker 6: ain't even got to consider you know, because we was
• 51:30
  Speaker 6: gonna give it to one of our friends, another white
• 51:32
  Speaker 6: person anyway, and now we ain't got to do that.
• 51:36
  Speaker 6: That's what make America Great Again stands for and for
• 51:40
  Speaker 6: these black Republicans out here, y'all, man, y'all, y'all, y'all,
• 51:45
  Speaker 6: the worst of the worst. I don't even know how you.
• 51:48
  Speaker 6: I don't even know how you how you rationalize this
• 51:51
  Speaker 6: in your mind? You really think they talking about you?
• 51:54
  Speaker 6: Are you listening to the policies? You ain't in none
• 51:57
  Speaker 6: of the policies the Republican Party come up with, But
• 51:59
  Speaker 6: you keep acting like they ain't talking about you.
• 52:01
  Speaker 2: They are talking about your black Stephenez. They're talking about you, man.
• 52:12
  Speaker 6: These black conservatives like you, like you, like you cause
• 52:15
  Speaker 6: you over there and you agree with them that you
• 52:17
  Speaker 6: immune to the repercussions.
• 52:20
  Speaker 9: You not.
• 52:23
  Speaker 8: For.
• 52:23
  Speaker 6: All they want you to do is expound their theories
• 52:27
  Speaker 6: that policies for and as soon as they get them,
• 52:29
  Speaker 6: they're gonna get rid of you too. Tim Scott ain't
• 52:32
  Speaker 6: got no position. Herschel Walker ain't got no position. Because
• 52:35
  Speaker 6: when they get through with you, they just throw you
• 52:37
  Speaker 6: all away from here. And all you new cats that
• 52:41
  Speaker 6: keep running all this new Republican philosophy down, they're gonna
• 52:45
  Speaker 6: throw you away too.
• 52:48
  Speaker 10: And I understand what you're saying that, but let's not
• 52:50
  Speaker 10: run off the white folks that want to apologize. Listen,
• 52:53
  Speaker 10: if you want to apologize, white people, call us at
• 52:56
  Speaker 10: one eight seven twenty nine st call it in an apologize.
• 52:59
  Speaker 10: We'll take you if you want to part of that.
• 53:01
  Speaker 10: You want to get it off your chick, just call
• 53:03
  Speaker 10: it one and nine Steve. We're taking white folks to
• 53:07
  Speaker 10: pology right here on m Okay, thank you.
• 53:11
  Speaker 7: You're gonna answer the phone, Timmy, Hello.
• 53:14
  Speaker 10: Hello, Hey, you know something.
• 53:19
  Speaker 2: Here's a deal. Now. I understand this right here.
• 53:22
  Speaker 6: I can understand that a white person it's tired of
• 53:26
  Speaker 6: being blamed for the decisions and actions of their forefathers.
• 53:30
  Speaker 2: I get that they.
• 53:32
  Speaker 6: Don't have slaves, they don't enact slavery, they don't want it.
• 53:36
  Speaker 6: That part I get. What they don't understand is we
• 53:43
  Speaker 6: are tired of some of those same policies still continue.
• 53:50
  Speaker 6: We know slavery's over with, but but we need the
• 53:54
  Speaker 6: rest of them to act like.
• 53:56
  Speaker 5: It is.
• 53:58
  Speaker 2: Right, and do better.
• 54:04
  Speaker 1: And breathe.
• 54:07
  Speaker 6: And you know what, like Trump said, every sense, civil
• 54:10
  Speaker 6: rights rights have been treated badly. Do you understand what
• 54:13
  Speaker 6: the term civil rights means. Civil rights didn't mean right,
• 54:18
  Speaker 6: Civil rights didn't mean give us more. Just treat us civil,
• 54:24
  Speaker 6: that we have the right to be treated civil.
• 54:28
  Speaker 2: That's all it is.
• 54:30
  Speaker 6: But you don't want to do that because in treating
• 54:33
  Speaker 6: us civil it cost you something. You think it cost
• 54:37
  Speaker 6: you position. Yeah, when it did. It did cost you
• 54:41
  Speaker 6: some positions because you can't have all the positions.
• 54:45
  Speaker 2: So that's what affirmative action was, right. We forced you
• 54:48
  Speaker 2: to look.
• 54:49
  Speaker 6: At hiring someone other than yourself. That's all it is. Man,
• 54:55
  Speaker 6: So you know, oh boy, and he.
• 54:59
  Speaker 10: Calls not yet, but we eight seven seven twenty nine
• 55:04
  Speaker 10: steak looking for white folks.
• 55:05
  Speaker 2: Give us a shower. I want apologize about yester years.

• 55:30
  Speaker 1: I don't really coming up at the top of the hour.
• 55:37
  Speaker 1: We'll have more of this ignorant show.
• 55:42
  Speaker 7: On Martin Luther King Day on this holiday as we
• 55:45
  Speaker 7: celebrate right after this all right eight.
• 55:47
  Speaker 10: Seven seven twenty nine, steak as the bells.
• 55:51
  Speaker 11: Toll, We commit to a life of service because Doctor King.
• 55:55
  Speaker 1: One of my favorite quotes.
• 55:57
  Speaker 11: From him is not everybody can be famous, but everybody
• 56:01
  Speaker 11: can be great because greatness is determined by service.
• 56:04
  Speaker 6: Martin Luther King, you know, to me, is just one
• 56:07
  Speaker 6: of the best because of what he did and the
• 56:09
  Speaker 6: contributions he made.
• 56:10
  Speaker 2: And we're here to celebrate that all day to day.
• 56:13
  Speaker 1: You're listening Steve Hardy Morning Show.
• 56:19
  Speaker 2: Doctor Martin Luther King, Jr.
• 56:21
  Speaker 6: Once Said that life's most persistent and urgent question is
• 56:24
  Speaker 6: what are you doing for others? Coming up, we got
• 56:27
  Speaker 6: some excerpts from doctor King's I've Been to the Mountaintop speech.
• 56:31
  Speaker 3: Let us rise up tonight with a greater readiness in these.
• 56:39
  Speaker 2: Powerful days.
• 56:41
  Speaker 3: These days are challenge to make America what it ought
• 56:46
  Speaker 3: to be. We have an opportunity to make America a
• 56:51
  Speaker 3: better nation.
• 56:53
  Speaker 2: And I want to thank God.
• 56:56
  Speaker 3: Once more for allowing me to be here with you.
• 57:00
  Speaker 3: You know, several years ago I was in New York City,
• 57:04
  Speaker 3: autographing the first book that I had written. While sitting
• 57:08
  Speaker 3: they autographing books, the minute black woman came up. The
• 57:14
  Speaker 3: only question I.
• 57:15
  Speaker 2: Heard from her was you Martin Luther King?
• 57:19
  Speaker 3: And I was looking down writing and I said yes.
• 57:23
  Speaker 3: The next minute I felt something beating on my chest.
• 57:26
  Speaker 3: Before I knew it, I had been stabbed by this
• 57:29
  Speaker 3: deminuted woman. I was rushed to Hullum Hospital. It was
• 57:33
  Speaker 3: a dog Saturday afternoon. That blade had gone through in
• 57:39
  Speaker 3: X raised revealed that the tip of the blade was
• 57:43
  Speaker 3: on the edge of my heir order the main artery
• 57:47
  Speaker 3: and one that's puncture. You drowned in your own blood.
• 57:50
  Speaker 3: That's the end of you. It came out in the
• 57:54
  Speaker 3: New York Times the next morning that if I had
• 57:56
  Speaker 3: merely sneezed, I would have died.
• 58:00
  Speaker 8: Well.
• 58:00
  Speaker 3: About four days later, they allowed me after the operation,
• 58:04
  Speaker 3: after my chest had been opening the blade had been
• 58:07
  Speaker 3: taken out, to move around in the wheelchair in the hospital.
• 58:11
  Speaker 3: They allowed me to read some of the mail that
• 58:13
  Speaker 3: came in and from all over the States and the world.
• 58:17
  Speaker 3: Kind letters came in. I read a few, but one
• 58:22
  Speaker 3: of them I will never forget. I had received one
• 58:25
  Speaker 3: from the President and the Vice President. I've forgotten what
• 58:29
  Speaker 3: those telegrams said. I received the visit and a letter
• 58:32
  Speaker 3: from the Governor of New York, but I've forgotten what
• 58:35
  Speaker 3: that letter say it.
• 58:37
  Speaker 2: But there was another letter. It came from a little.
• 58:41
  Speaker 3: Girl, a young girl who was a student at the
• 58:45
  Speaker 3: White Planes High School.
• 58:47
  Speaker 2: And I looked at that letter.
• 58:48
  Speaker 3: I'll never forget it, said Senor dear doctor King. I
• 58:53
  Speaker 3: am a ninth grade student at the White Planes High School.
• 58:59
  Speaker 3: She said. While it should not matter, I would like
• 59:01
  Speaker 3: to mention that I'm a white girl. I read in
• 59:05
  Speaker 3: the paper of your misfortune and of your suffering, and
• 59:11
  Speaker 3: I read that if you.
• 59:12
  Speaker 2: Had sneezed, you would have died.
• 59:15
  Speaker 3: I'm simply writing you to say that I'm so happy
• 59:18
  Speaker 3: that you didn't sneeze.
• 59:21
  Speaker 2: And I want to say tonight.
• 59:23
  Speaker 3: I want to say tonight that I too, am happy
• 59:26
  Speaker 3: that I didn't sneeze, because that I had sneezed, I
• 59:29
  Speaker 3: wouldn't have been around here. In nineteen sixty when students
• 59:33
  Speaker 3: all over the South started sitting in at lunch counties,
• 59:37
  Speaker 3: and I knew that as a was sitting in, they
• 59:39
  Speaker 3: were really standing up for the best in the American
• 59:43
  Speaker 3: dream and taking the whole nation back to those great
• 59:46
  Speaker 3: wells of democracy which were dug deep by the founding
• 59:49
  Speaker 3: fathers in the Declaration of Independence and the Constitution. If
• 59:53
  Speaker 3: I had sneezed, I wouldn't have been around here in.
• 59:57
  Speaker 2: Nineteen sixty one when.
• 59:59
  Speaker 3: We decided to take a ride for freedom an ended
• 1:00:03
  Speaker 3: segregation in interstate travel. If I had sneezed, I wouldn't
• 1:00:08
  Speaker 3: have been around here.
• 1:00:10
  Speaker 5: In nineteen sixty two.
• 1:00:12
  Speaker 3: The Negroes and all been at Georgia decided to straighten
• 1:00:16
  Speaker 3: that box up.
• 1:00:17
  Speaker 2: And when other men and women straighten that.
• 1:00:19
  Speaker 3: Box up, they are going somewhere, because a man can't
• 1:00:23
  Speaker 3: roger back unless it is bent. If I had sneved,
• 1:00:27
  Speaker 3: I had sneezed, I wouldn't have been here.
• 1:00:29
  Speaker 2: In nineteen sixty three.
• 1:00:33
  Speaker 3: The black people of Birmingham, Alabama aroused the conscience of
• 1:00:39
  Speaker 3: this nation and brought into being the Civil Rights Bill.
• 1:00:43
  Speaker 5: If I had.
• 1:00:44
  Speaker 3: Sneeze, I wouldn't have had a chance later that year,
• 1:00:47
  Speaker 3: in August to try to tell America about a dream
• 1:00:51
  Speaker 3: that I had had. If I had sneezed, I wouldn't
• 1:00:56
  Speaker 3: have been down in Selma, Alabama to see the great
• 1:01:01
  Speaker 3: movement there.
• 1:01:02
  Speaker 2: If I had sneezed.
• 1:01:04
  Speaker 3: I wouldn't have been in Memphis to see a community
• 1:01:08
  Speaker 3: rather around those.
• 1:01:10
  Speaker 2: Brothers and sisters who are suffering. I'm so happy that I.
• 1:01:14
  Speaker 3: Didn't snee and they were telling them now it doesn't
• 1:01:19
  Speaker 3: matter now, it really doesn't matter what happens now. I
• 1:01:23
  Speaker 3: left Atlanta this morning, and as we got started on
• 1:01:26
  Speaker 3: the plane that was six of us, the pilot said
• 1:01:30
  Speaker 3: over the public address system, we're sire f for the delay,
• 1:01:36
  Speaker 3: but we have Dr Martin Luther King on the plane
• 1:01:40
  Speaker 3: and to be sure that all of the bags were
• 1:01:43
  Speaker 3: checked and to be sure that nothing would be wrong
• 1:01:47
  Speaker 3: on the plane. We had to check out everything carefully,
• 1:01:52
  Speaker 3: and we've had the plane protected and guard it all night.
• 1:01:57
  Speaker 2: And then I got into Memphis and.
• 1:02:00
  Speaker 3: Some began to say the threats I talk about the
• 1:02:04
  Speaker 3: threats that were out or what would happen to me
• 1:02:08
  Speaker 3: from some of our sick white brothers.
• 1:02:13
  Speaker 8: Well, I don't know what.
• 1:02:14
  Speaker 2: Will happen now.
• 1:02:16
  Speaker 3: We've got some difficult days ahead, but it really doesn't
• 1:02:19
  Speaker 3: matter with me now, because I've been.
• 1:02:22
  Speaker 2: To the Mountain talk.
• 1:02:25
  Speaker 8: I don't mind.
• 1:02:27
  Speaker 2: Like anybody, I would like to live.
• 1:02:29
  Speaker 5: A long life.
• 1:02:30
  Speaker 3: Longevity has its place, but I'm not concerned about that.
• 1:02:36
  Speaker 8: Now.
• 1:02:38
  Speaker 5: I just want to do God's will.
• 1:02:42
  Speaker 3: And He's allowed me to go up to the mountain,
• 1:02:45
  Speaker 3: and I've looked over.
• 1:02:48
  Speaker 5: And I've seen.
• 1:02:50
  Speaker 2: The promised Land.
• 1:02:53
  Speaker 3: I may not get there with you, but I want
• 1:02:56
  Speaker 3: you to know the night that we as a people,
• 1:03:00
  Speaker 3: we'll get to the Promised Land.
• 1:03:03
  Speaker 5: So I'm happy tonight. I'm not worried about anything. I'm
• 1:03:07
  Speaker 5: not very in a man.
• 1:03:09
  Speaker 3: My eyes have seen the glory on the coming of
• 1:03:12
  Speaker 3: the Lord.
• 1:03:13
  Speaker 1: You're listening Save Hardy Morning Show.
• 1:03:20
  Speaker 6: Coming up, We're going to play some excerpts from doctor
• 1:03:23
  Speaker 6: King's I Have a Dream Speech.
• 1:03:28
  Speaker 3: I'm happy to john with you today in what will
• 1:03:34
  Speaker 3: go down in history as the greatest demonstration for freedom
• 1:03:40
  Speaker 3: in the history of our nation. Five score years ago,
• 1:03:52
  Speaker 3: a great American in whose symbolic shadow we stand today,
• 1:03:58
  Speaker 3: signed the immense Patient Proclamation. This momentous decree came as
• 1:04:06
  Speaker 3: a great beacon light of Pope for millions of Negro
• 1:04:09
  Speaker 3: slaves who had been seared in the flames of withering injustice.
• 1:04:16
  Speaker 3: It came as a joyous daybreak to in the long
• 1:04:20
  Speaker 3: night of their captivity. But one hundred years later, the
• 1:04:27
  Speaker 3: Negro steal is not free. One hundred years later, the
• 1:04:34
  Speaker 3: life of the negro is still sadly crippled by the
• 1:04:38
  Speaker 3: manacles of segregation and the chains of discrimination. One hundred
• 1:04:44
  Speaker 3: years later, the negro.
• 1:04:46
  Speaker 5: Lives on a lonely island.
• 1:04:48
  Speaker 3: Of poverty in the midst of a vast ocean of
• 1:04:52
  Speaker 3: material prosperity. One hundred years later, the negro is still
• 1:05:02
  Speaker 3: languished in the corners of American society and finds himself
• 1:05:08
  Speaker 3: in exile.
• 1:05:09
  Speaker 2: In his own land.
• 1:05:11
  Speaker 3: So we've come here today to dramatize a shameful condition.
• 1:05:18
  Speaker 3: In a sense, we've come to our nation's capital to
• 1:05:22
  Speaker 3: cash a check. When the architects of our Republic wrote
• 1:05:29
  Speaker 3: the magnificent words of the Constitution and the Declaration of Independence,
• 1:05:36
  Speaker 3: they were signing a promise or a note, to whichever American.
• 1:05:41
  Speaker 5: Was to fall out.
• 1:05:44
  Speaker 3: This note was a promise in all men, yes, black men,
• 1:05:50
  Speaker 3: as well as white men, would be guaranteed the unalienable
• 1:05:55
  Speaker 3: rights of life, liberty, and.
• 1:05:58
  Speaker 5: The pursuit of happiness.
• 1:06:01
  Speaker 3: It is obvious today that America has defaulted on this promise,
• 1:06:07
  Speaker 3: or not in so far as her citizens of color
• 1:06:11
  Speaker 3: are concerned. Instead of honoring this sacred obligation, America has
• 1:06:19
  Speaker 3: given the Negro people a bad check, a check which
• 1:06:23
  Speaker 3: has come back to mark insufficient funds.
• 1:06:31
  Speaker 5: But we refuse to believe.
• 1:06:33
  Speaker 3: That the bank of justice is bakra.
• 1:06:39
  Speaker 5: Refuse to believe that that are.
• 1:06:41
  Speaker 3: Insufficient funds in the great faults of opportunity of this nation.
• 1:06:46
  Speaker 3: So we've come to cash this check, a check.
• 1:06:49
  Speaker 5: That will give us the pun.
• 1:06:51
  Speaker 3: Demand, the riches of freedom and the security of justice.
• 1:07:02
  Speaker 3: We have also come to this hallid spot to remind
• 1:07:07
  Speaker 3: America of the fierce urgency of now.
• 1:07:12
  Speaker 5: This is no time.
• 1:07:14
  Speaker 3: To engage in the luxury of cooling off or to
• 1:07:18
  Speaker 3: take the tranquilizing drug of gradualism. Now is the time love,
• 1:07:29
  Speaker 3: to make real the promises of democracy. Now is the
• 1:07:34
  Speaker 3: time the rise from the dark and desolate valley of
• 1:07:39
  Speaker 3: segregation to the sunlit path of racial justice.
• 1:07:43
  Speaker 8: Now is the.
• 1:07:44
  Speaker 5: Time from quick sense of racial.
• 1:07:52
  Speaker 3: Injustice to the solid rock of brotherhood.
• 1:07:55
  Speaker 5: Now is the time.
• 1:08:00
  Speaker 3: The reality for all of God's dois It would be
• 1:08:04
  Speaker 3: fatal for the nation to overlook the urgency of the moment.
• 1:08:11
  Speaker 3: This sweltering summer of the Negro's legitimate discontent will not
• 1:08:17
  Speaker 3: pass until that is an invigorating ultumn of freedom and
• 1:08:21
  Speaker 3: equality nineteen sixty three is not an end but a beginning.
• 1:08:28
  Speaker 3: Those who hope that the Negro needed to blow off
• 1:08:31
  Speaker 3: steam and will now be content will have a rude awakening.
• 1:08:37
  Speaker 3: If the nation returns to business as usual, there will
• 1:08:47
  Speaker 3: be neither rest nor tranquility in America until the Negro
• 1:08:53
  Speaker 3: has granted his citizenship rights. The whirlwindsor revolt will continue
• 1:08:58
  Speaker 3: to shake the foundations of our nation until the bright day.
• 1:09:03
  Speaker 2: Of justice emerges.
• 1:09:05
  Speaker 3: That is something that I must say to my people who.
• 1:09:09
  Speaker 5: Stand on the warm threshold.
• 1:09:11
  Speaker 3: Which leads into the palace of justice. In the process
• 1:09:15
  Speaker 3: of gaining our rightful place, we must not be.
• 1:09:19
  Speaker 2: Guilty of wrong for deeds.
• 1:09:22
  Speaker 5: Let us not.
• 1:09:23
  Speaker 3: Seek to satisfy our first for freedom by drinking from
• 1:09:27
  Speaker 3: the cup of bitterness and hatred. We must forever conduct
• 1:09:35
  Speaker 3: our struggle on the high plane of dignity and discipline.
• 1:09:39
  Speaker 3: We must not allow our creative protests to degenerate into
• 1:09:44
  Speaker 3: physical violence again and again. We must rise to the
• 1:09:50
  Speaker 3: majestic heights of meeting physical.
• 1:09:53
  Speaker 1: Force with soul force.
• 1:09:55
  Speaker 3: The marvelous new militant say which has engulfed the news
• 1:10:00
  Speaker 3: Grow community must.
• 1:10:02
  Speaker 5: Not lead us to a distrust of.
• 1:10:04
  Speaker 2: All white people.
• 1:10:05
  Speaker 3: For many of our white brothers, as evidenced by their
• 1:10:08
  Speaker 3: presence here today, I've come to realize that that destiny
• 1:10:12
  Speaker 3: is part of an office.
• 1:10:14
  Speaker 7: You're listening to the Seve Harvey Morning Show right now, asked,
• 1:10:21
  Speaker 7: promise we're gonna play some of doctor King's I have
• 1:10:24
  Speaker 7: a Dream speech, which he delivered on the steps of
• 1:10:26
  Speaker 7: the Lincoln Memorial back in nineteen sixty three.
• 1:10:29
  Speaker 3: I have a dream that one day even the state
• 1:10:35
  Speaker 3: of Mississippi, state sweltering with the heat of injustice, sweltering
• 1:10:42
  Speaker 3: with the heat of oppression, will be transformed into an
• 1:10:46
  Speaker 3: oasis of freedom and justice. I have a dream my
• 1:10:53
  Speaker 3: little children will one day live in a nation where
• 1:10:57
  Speaker 3: they will not be judged by the color of their skin,
• 1:11:00
  Speaker 3: but by the content of that character.
• 1:11:02
  Speaker 5: I have a dream today.
• 1:11:04
  Speaker 3: I have a dream that one day, down in Alabama,
• 1:11:10
  Speaker 3: with its vicious racist, with its governor having his lips
• 1:11:16
  Speaker 3: tripping with the words of its the position and nullifications,
• 1:11:19
  Speaker 3: one day, right now in Alabama, little black boars and
• 1:11:23
  Speaker 3: black girls will be able to join hands with little
• 1:11:26
  Speaker 3: white bars and white girls as sisters and brothers.
• 1:11:29
  Speaker 5: I have a dream today.
• 1:11:32
  Speaker 3: I have a dream that one day, every valley shall
• 1:11:35
  Speaker 3: be exalted. Every hill and mountains shall be made lord.
• 1:11:39
  Speaker 3: The rough places will be made paint, and the crooked
• 1:11:42
  Speaker 3: places will be made straight. And the gore of the
• 1:11:44
  Speaker 3: Lord shall be revealed in all flush shall see it.
• 1:11:48
  Speaker 5: Together.
• 1:11:49
  Speaker 2: This is our hope.

  Speaker 5: This is a feath that I go.
• 1:11:53
  Speaker 3: Back to the South with. With this faith we will
• 1:11:57
  Speaker 3: be able to hew out of the mountain of despair
• 1:12:00
  Speaker 3: stone of hope. With this field, we will be able
• 1:12:04
  Speaker 3: to transform the jangling discords of our nation into a
• 1:12:08
  Speaker 3: beautiful symphony of brotherhood.
• 1:12:10
  Speaker 5: With this faith, we.
• 1:12:12
  Speaker 3: Will be able to work together, to pray together, to
• 1:12:15
  Speaker 3: struggle together, to go to jail together, to stand up
• 1:12:18
  Speaker 3: for freedom, together, knowing that we will be free one day.
• 1:12:25
  Speaker 2: Thing This will be the day.
• 1:12:27
  Speaker 3: When all of God's children will be able to sing
• 1:12:31
  Speaker 3: with new meaning. My country tears a deed, sweet land

• 1:20:03
  Speaker 6: don't wait to Martin Luther King day to do it.

  Speaker 6: Martin Luther King was one of my favorite people of

  Speaker 6: because I learned so much from him. His strength was
