  Speaker 1: only Steve Harvey got a radio show. Okay, here we go.
• 2:15
  Speaker 1: I was working out. I was talking to a buddy
• 2:19
  Speaker 1: of mine, and I was telling him something that Bishop
• 2:23
  Speaker 1: td Jake's told me one time I heard him say it.
• 2:27
  Speaker 1: He said, oh, I would hate to die and not
• 2:33
  Speaker 1: do the thing that I was born to do. I
• 2:38
  Speaker 1: would hate to die and not do the theme that
• 2:43
  Speaker 1: I was born to do. Man, oh man, oh man, man.
• 2:48
  Speaker 1: That hit me like a like a like a pile
• 2:51
  Speaker 1: of bricks man, because it made me feel so grateful
• 2:58
  Speaker 1: that God has allowed me to live my life this
• 3:02
  Speaker 1: way now. And I'm talking about grateful for all of it,
• 3:08
  Speaker 1: the good, the bad, and the ugly, and I have
• 3:12
  Speaker 1: had all of them. The person you see today, it
• 3:17
  Speaker 1: ain't always who I was. It was on the inside
• 3:20
  Speaker 1: of me, but it hadn't externalized itself, if that's a word.
• 3:25
  Speaker 1: It hadn't been brought out. It was in here, but
• 3:28
  Speaker 1: it was under development. Who I am today was a process.
• 3:35
  Speaker 1: But like I said before, don't trip Hem through with
• 3:40
  Speaker 1: me yet. Even today, I'm still an imperfect soldier for Christ.
• 3:47
  Speaker 1: Today I still fall short oftentimes, but I'll tell you what,
• 3:54
  Speaker 1: I'm ever grateful for the life I have. And you
• 3:58
  Speaker 1: know what, I want to encourage everybody today to explore
• 4:04
  Speaker 1: your possibilities. I mean, man, explore your possibilities. Why would
• 4:12
  Speaker 1: you not want to find out, discover, or know what
• 4:21
  Speaker 1: it is God got for you? Why would you not
• 4:25
  Speaker 1: want to achieve or accomplish all of your possibilities? Now,
• 4:30
  Speaker 1: as I ask you this question, I want you to
• 4:33
  Speaker 1: know that the devil is busy, that he plays mind tricks.
• 4:37
  Speaker 1: So as you hear this, I already know he's saying
• 4:40
  Speaker 1: to some of y'all, Yeah, Steve, that's easy for you
• 4:43
  Speaker 1: to say, but I didn't get myself in this situation
• 4:46
  Speaker 1: right here. Ain't nothing too hard for God? Nothing nothing.
• 4:54
  Speaker 1: And see, so as you listen to me, try to
• 4:57
  Speaker 1: try to get your mind open to this. Why would
• 5:01
  Speaker 1: you not want to explore all of your life's possibilities,
• 5:06
  Speaker 1: what's possible with your life? And I'm talking about from
• 5:09
  Speaker 1: right where you are right now. I'm not asking you
• 5:13
  Speaker 1: to change, I'm not asking you to do anything. I'm
• 5:16
  Speaker 1: telling you this is a fact that God can get
• 5:19
  Speaker 1: you from right where you are right now. Broken, misled, misguided, misunderstood, mistaken,
• 5:35
  Speaker 1: all of that, misfortunate, all of the missus you've been
• 5:39
  Speaker 1: talking about in your life. You know you. I missed
• 5:43
  Speaker 1: the lottery, I missed my ride. They fined men, I
• 5:47
  Speaker 1: missed the deadline. I didn't get it, miss pop. People
• 5:51
  Speaker 1: just miss stay self to death. If you've been all
• 5:55
  Speaker 1: in missus, God can get you from right where you are.
• 6:00
  Speaker 1: God a home run hitter. I'm here to tell you
• 6:02
  Speaker 1: that he's a home run hitter. He's a put him
• 6:05
  Speaker 1: over the wall whenever he wants to, all the time.
• 6:08
  Speaker 1: And you can be a recipient of some of these
• 6:10
  Speaker 1: home runs. He'll put the bat in your hand. But
• 6:12
  Speaker 1: you got to sway now, listen to me. You got
• 6:16
  Speaker 1: to stop feeling sorry for yourself. You got to stop
• 6:19
  Speaker 1: holding yourself down with beating yourself up. He won't hold
• 6:23
  Speaker 1: you down about it if you don't hold yourself down
• 6:25
  Speaker 1: about it. But I'm gonna tell you one more time.
• 6:27
  Speaker 1: The devil is busy. So what the devil do is
• 6:30
  Speaker 1: He makes you think you ain't worthy. He makes you
• 6:33
  Speaker 1: think that you've done something so despicable that you can't
• 6:36
  Speaker 1: come back from it. He makes you feel like you're
• 6:38
  Speaker 1: so low you can't go up high. He knocked you down,
• 6:41
  Speaker 1: and make you feel like you've been knocked down harder
• 6:43
  Speaker 1: than anybody else. You can't get up. He rolled you
• 6:46
  Speaker 1: so deep down in that ditch you can't see over
• 6:48
  Speaker 1: the edge. God can come get you from no matter
• 6:52
  Speaker 1: where you are. I'm telling you, man, you ain't in
• 6:56
  Speaker 1: no hole too deep for God. Magic Johnson to tell
• 7:00
  Speaker 1: you that. Listen to me, you ain't in no hole
• 7:02
  Speaker 1: too deep for God. Steve Harvey can tell you that
• 7:05
  Speaker 1: you ain't in a hole too deep for God. Tyler
• 7:09
  Speaker 1: Perry can tell you that. I can name you some people.
• 7:12
  Speaker 1: Bishop Jake can tell you that. I could tell you.
• 7:14
  Speaker 1: Kenneth Olmer can tell you that. Bishop Kenneth Olman, I
• 7:17
  Speaker 1: could tell you some people. Kirk Franklin can tell you that.

• 7:23
  Speaker 1: people personally man that then't been in a hole. Joel

• 7:29
  Speaker 1: man been down, been in a hole so deep. I
• 7:32
  Speaker 1: bet you. Paula Deane can tell you about it. See.
• 7:37
  Speaker 1: But but you know what, then here we go, see
• 7:39
  Speaker 1: we see see you know, see we don't. We don't
• 7:43
  Speaker 1: like to talk about that because now we want everybody
• 7:46
  Speaker 1: to pay extra hard for some mistakes they made when
• 7:49
  Speaker 1: clearly and excuse me for being a new Christian, but
• 7:52
  Speaker 1: there is a pred that I've been saying since I
• 7:54
  Speaker 1: was a little bitty boy, and it took me till
• 7:56
  Speaker 1: I was a grown man to understand it. Forgive us
• 7:59
  Speaker 1: our trust passes as we forgive those who trust passed
• 8:02
  Speaker 1: against us. So see, it ain't my job to hold
• 8:06
  Speaker 1: nobody down, to keep my knee on somebody's neck. Who
• 8:09
  Speaker 1: am I. I'm gonna need some forgiveness in a second here,
• 8:13
  Speaker 1: probably today. See so all this, you're holding people down
• 8:18
  Speaker 1: with the way you feel in bout them. And she
• 8:20
  Speaker 1: shouldn't have said this, and she will never get it.
• 8:22
  Speaker 1: I'll never support this again. Man, Get up, Get up
• 8:25
  Speaker 1: and get real, You're for real. You think you ain't
• 8:27
  Speaker 1: fit the need forgiveness real soon you ain't fna make
• 8:30
  Speaker 1: a diabolical mistake in your life. You don't think you are.
• 8:33
  Speaker 1: I have thousands of them, probably gonna make a few
• 8:36
  Speaker 1: hundred more for I get up out of here. So
• 8:39
  Speaker 1: I've decided to be in a forgiving business because I
• 8:44
  Speaker 1: want God to forgive my trust passes as I forgive
• 8:47
  Speaker 1: those who trust passed against me. You understand, see excuse
• 8:51
  Speaker 1: me for being a new Christian. I get I get
• 8:54
  Speaker 1: tired of talking to pistol, to people man supposed to
• 8:57
  Speaker 1: be saved, and talking about dead Christian. I don't want
• 8:59
  Speaker 1: to type religion. Man. I ain't in that no more.
• 9:01
  Speaker 1: I ain't in that. You can call me wrong if
• 9:03
  Speaker 1: you want to saying how you want to say. I
• 9:05
  Speaker 1: ain't in that no more. I ain't in all that.
• 9:07
  Speaker 1: You can feel how you want to feel about me.
• 9:09
  Speaker 1: But I got proof that God work in my life.
• 9:11
  Speaker 1: You know, I can't hardly get it out Sometime when
• 9:14
  Speaker 1: people ask me something about deeper on the inside of me,
• 9:17
  Speaker 1: about my soul and how I used to being, and
• 9:19
  Speaker 1: my journey and my trip. Because people don't know the
• 9:21
  Speaker 1: trip I've been on You main't been on one worse
• 9:24
  Speaker 1: than me. But you know what, you ain't in a
• 9:25
  Speaker 1: hole too deep. God can't get you out of. And
• 9:28
  Speaker 1: I wish, I want, I want people to remember that man,
• 9:31
  Speaker 1: God is a redeemer, He the great I am. So
• 9:35
  Speaker 1: if you ain't got nothing, now what you asking for?
• 9:38
  Speaker 1: You know you might not have nothing because you ain't
• 9:40
  Speaker 1: asking for nothing? Could asking God to get you out
• 9:43
  Speaker 1: of debt and ask God for a life of abundance.
• 9:46
  Speaker 1: Then you take the money and you get out of debt.
• 9:48
  Speaker 1: You keep asking to get out of debt. You keep
• 9:50
  Speaker 1: being in debt to get out of Come on, man,
• 9:52
  Speaker 1: what you're asking God? Fault? I'm just tripping to day,
• 9:55

  Speaker 1: all this attention though, man, all right, coming up with
• 13:31
  Speaker 1: thirty two minutes after the hour, this is a revelation.
• 13:36
  Speaker 1: As I was saying, coming up at thirty two minutes
• 13:38
  Speaker 1: after the hour, we'll play some highlights of doctor King's
• 13:41
  Speaker 1: most famous speeches right after this. You're listening show right now,
• 13:48
  Speaker 1: Here's a drum majorst speech on the Steve Harvey Morning Show.
• 13:51
  Speaker 1: An instinct. It's a kind of drum major instinct, a
• 13:55
  Speaker 1: desire to be out front, a desire to lead the parade,
• 14:00
  Speaker 1: a desire to be first. It is something that runs
• 14:05
  Speaker 1: a whole gamut of life. So before we condemn them,
• 14:12
  Speaker 1: let us see that we all have the drum major instinct.
• 14:17
  Speaker 1: We all want to be important, to surpass others, to
• 14:23
  Speaker 1: achieve distinction, to lead the parade. Alfred Adler the Great,
• 14:31
  Speaker 1: a psychoanalyst, contends that this is the dominant impulse. Sigmund
• 14:37
  Speaker 1: Fraud used to contend that sex was the dominant impulse,
• 14:41
  Speaker 1: and Adla came with a new argument, saying that this
• 14:45
  Speaker 1: quest for recognition, this desire for attention, this desire for distinction,
• 14:55
  Speaker 1: is the basic impulse, the basic drive of human human life,
• 15:01
  Speaker 1: this drum major instinct. And you know we begin earlier
• 15:07
  Speaker 1: to ask life to put us first. Our first cry
• 15:13
  Speaker 1: as a baby was a bid for the tension, and
• 15:19
  Speaker 1: all through childhood, the drum major impulse or instinct is
• 15:25
  Speaker 1: a major obsession. Children ask life to grant them first place.
• 15:36
  Speaker 1: They are a little bundle of ego they have innately
• 15:45
  Speaker 1: the drum major instinct. Now an adult life, we still
• 15:51
  Speaker 1: have it and we really never get by it. We
• 15:57
  Speaker 1: like to do something good, and you know, we like
• 16:00
  Speaker 1: to be praised for it. Now, if you don't believe that,
• 16:06
  Speaker 1: you just go on living life, and you will discover
• 16:09
  Speaker 1: very soon that you like to be praised. Everybody likes
• 16:14
  Speaker 1: it as a matter of fact. And somehow this warm
• 16:19
  Speaker 1: glow we feel when we are praised or when our
• 16:24
  Speaker 1: name is in print is something of the vitamin aid
• 16:29
  Speaker 1: to our ego. Nobody is unhappy when they are praised,
• 16:36
  Speaker 1: even if they know they don't deserve it, and even
• 16:39
  Speaker 1: if they don't believe it. The only unhappy people about
• 16:43
  Speaker 1: praise is when that praise is going too much towards
• 16:46
  Speaker 1: somebody else. But everybody likes to be praised because of
• 16:53
  Speaker 1: this real drum major instinct. Do you know that a
• 16:59
  Speaker 1: lot out of the race problem grows out of the
• 17:02
  Speaker 1: drum major instinct, a need that some people have to
• 17:09
  Speaker 1: feel superior a need that some people have to feel
• 17:15
  Speaker 1: that they are first, and to feel that their white
• 17:20
  Speaker 1: skin ordained them to be first at it. And they
• 17:27
  Speaker 1: have said over and over the game in ways that
• 17:32
  Speaker 1: we see with our own eyes. In fact, not too
• 17:36
  Speaker 1: long ago, a man down in Mississippis said that God
• 17:40
  Speaker 1: was a child, a member or the white citizens counsel.
• 17:46
  Speaker 1: And so God being the child a member means that
• 17:50
  Speaker 1: everybody who's in that has us a kind of divinity,
• 17:54
  Speaker 1: a kind of superiority. And think of what has happening historism.
• 17:58
  Speaker 1: As a result, this perverted use of the drum maje
• 18:04
  Speaker 1: instinct led to the most tragic prejudice, the most tragic
• 18:09
  Speaker 1: expressions of man's inhumanity to man. I mean, not only
• 18:14
  Speaker 1: does this thing go into the racial struggle, goes into
• 18:20
  Speaker 1: the struggle between nations. And I would submit to you
• 18:24
  Speaker 1: this morning that what is wrong in the world today
• 18:27
  Speaker 1: is a the nations of the world engaged in a bitter,
• 18:30
  Speaker 1: colossal contest for supremacy, and some doesn't having to stop
• 18:36
  Speaker 1: this trend. I'm sorely afred that we won't be here
• 18:42
  Speaker 1: to talk about Jesus Christ and about God and about
• 18:45
  Speaker 1: brotherhood too. Many more years, somebody done bringing into this
• 18:53
  Speaker 1: suicidal thrust that we see in the world today. None
• 18:59
  Speaker 1: of us are going to be a round because somebody
• 19:02
  Speaker 1: is gonna make the mistakes through our senseless blunderings, of
• 19:06
  Speaker 1: dropping a nuclear bomb somewhere, and then another one is
• 19:09
  Speaker 1: gonna drop. And don't let anybody fool you. This can
• 19:14
  Speaker 1: happen within a matter of seconds. They have twenty megaton
• 19:18
  Speaker 1: bombs in Russia right now that can destroy a city
• 19:22
  Speaker 1: as big as New York in three seconds, with everybody
• 19:25
  Speaker 1: wiped away in every building. And we can do the
• 19:28
  Speaker 1: same thing to Russian China. But this is why we
• 19:31
  Speaker 1: are drifted, and we are drifting down it cause nations
• 19:35
  Speaker 1: are caught up with the German major instinct. I must
• 19:38
  Speaker 1: be first, I must be supreme all A nation must
• 19:42
  Speaker 1: rule the world. And I am sad to say that
• 19:47
  Speaker 1: the nation in which we live is the supreme culprit.
• 19:52
  Speaker 1: And I'm gonna continue to say it to America because
• 19:56
  Speaker 1: I love this country too much to see the drift
• 19:59
  Speaker 1: that it has taken. God didn't call America to do
• 20:03
  Speaker 1: what she's doing in the world now. God didn't call
• 20:07
  Speaker 1: America to engage in a senseless unjust war as a
• 20:12
  Speaker 1: war in Vietnam, and we are criminals in that war.
• 20:16
  Speaker 1: We've committed more war crimes almost than any nation in
• 20:19
  Speaker 1: the world. And I'm going to continue to say it,
• 20:22
  Speaker 1: and we won't stop it because of our pride and
• 20:26
  Speaker 1: i Arragan says the nation. But God has a way
• 20:30
  Speaker 1: of even put nations in that place. Everybody here, here's
• 20:34
  Speaker 1: a fact of no matter, doctor Mark Luther King Junior's
• 20:37
  Speaker 1: speech to drum major Instinct speech. It was actually delivered
• 20:40
  Speaker 1: at Ebenezer Baptist Church in Atlanta, Georgia, on February fourth,
• 20:44
  Speaker 1: nineteen sixty eight, and throughout all of his years of
• 20:47
  Speaker 1: public service, doctor Mark Luther King Junior encouraged everybody to
• 20:51
  Speaker 1: participate in community service. You're listening Harvey Morning Show. Welcome
• 20:57
  Speaker 1: back to the ride. We will continue with more of
• 20:59
  Speaker 1: doctor King the drum major Instinct speech. Nobody is unhappy
• 21:04
  Speaker 1: when they are praised, even if they know they don't
• 21:07
  Speaker 1: deserve it, and even if they don't believe it. The
• 21:11
  Speaker 1: only unhappy people about praise is when that praise is
• 21:15
  Speaker 1: going too much towards somebody else. But everybody likes to
• 21:20
  Speaker 1: be praised because of this real Drum major instinct. Do
• 21:28
  Speaker 1: you know that a lot of the race problem grows
• 21:31
  Speaker 1: out of the drum major instinct, A need that some
• 21:36
  Speaker 1: people have to feel superior, a need that some people
• 21:43
  Speaker 1: have to feel that they are first, and to feel
• 21:48
  Speaker 1: that their white skin ordain them to be first. They
• 21:56
  Speaker 1: have said over and over the game in ye that
• 22:01
  Speaker 1: we see with our own eyes. In fact, not too
• 22:05
  Speaker 1: long ago, a man down and Mississippis said that God
• 22:09
  Speaker 1: was a child, a member or the White Citizens Council.
• 22:18
  Speaker 1: And so God being the child a member means that
• 22:22
  Speaker 1: everybody who's in that has us a kind of divinity,
• 22:26
  Speaker 1: a kind of superiority. And think of what has happened
• 22:30
  Speaker 1: in historism as a result, this perverted use of the
• 22:35
  Speaker 1: drum mage instinct led to the most tragic prejudice, the
• 22:40
  Speaker 1: most tragic expressions of man's inhumanity to man. I mean,
• 22:46
  Speaker 1: not only does this thing go into the racial struggle,
• 22:51
  Speaker 1: goes into the struggle between nations. And I would submit
• 22:57
  Speaker 1: to you this morning that what is wrong in the
• 22:59
  Speaker 1: world is the the nations of the world are engaged
• 23:02
  Speaker 1: in a bitter, colossal contest for supremacy, and some doesn't
• 23:08
  Speaker 1: having to stop this trend. I'm sorely afred that we
• 23:14
  Speaker 1: won't be here to talk about Jesus Christ and about
• 23:17
  Speaker 1: God and about brotherhood too many more years. Somebody done
• 23:25
  Speaker 1: bringing into this suicide who thrust that we see in
• 23:29
  Speaker 1: the world today. None of us are gonna be around
• 23:34
  Speaker 1: because somebody is gonna make the mistake through our senseless blunderings,
• 23:39
  Speaker 1: of dropping a nuclear bomb somewhere, and then another one
• 23:43
  Speaker 1: is gonna drop. And don't let anybody fool you. Oh,
• 23:47
  Speaker 1: this can happen within a matter of seconds. They have
• 23:51
  Speaker 1: twenty megaton bombs in Russia right now that can destroy
• 23:55
  Speaker 1: a city as big as New York in three seconds,
• 23:58
  Speaker 1: with everybody wiped away and every building. And we can
• 24:02
  Speaker 1: do the same thing to Russian China. But this is
• 24:04
  Speaker 1: why we are drifted, and we are drifting now because
• 24:08
  Speaker 1: nations are caught up with the German major instinct. I
• 24:12
  Speaker 1: must be first, I must be supreme all. A nation
• 24:16
  Speaker 1: must rule the world. And I am sad to say
• 24:21
  Speaker 1: that the nation in which we live is the supreme culprit.
• 24:26
  Speaker 1: And I'm going to continue to say it to America
• 24:30
  Speaker 1: because I love this country too much to see the
• 24:33
  Speaker 1: drift that it has taken. God didn't call America to
• 24:38
  Speaker 1: do what she's doing in the world. Now, God didn't
• 24:41
  Speaker 1: call America to engage in a senseless, unjust war as
• 24:46
  Speaker 1: a war in Vietnam, and we are criminals in that war.
• 24:51
  Speaker 1: We have committed more war crimes almost than any nation
• 24:54
  Speaker 1: in the world. And I'm going to continue to say it,
• 24:57
  Speaker 1: and we won't stop it because of our pride. And
• 25:01
  Speaker 1: I Arragan says the nation. But God has a way
• 25:05
  Speaker 1: of even putting nations in that place. The God that
• 25:08
  Speaker 1: I worship has a way of saying, don't play with me.
• 25:15
  Speaker 1: He has a way of saying. Is the God of
• 25:18
  Speaker 1: the Old Testament used to say the Hebrews, don't play
• 25:22
  Speaker 1: with me Israel, don't play with Smith Babylon. Be still
• 25:28
  Speaker 1: and know that I'm God. If you don't stuck your
• 25:33
  Speaker 1: reckless course, I'll rise up and break the backbone of
• 25:37
  Speaker 1: your power. That can happen to America. Every nine then
• 25:43
  Speaker 1: I go back and read Gibbons Decline and fall of
• 25:46
  Speaker 1: the Roman Empire. And when I come and look at America,
• 25:50
  Speaker 1: I say to myself the parallels of frightening. We have
• 25:56
  Speaker 1: perverted the drum made instinct. Every nine then, I guess
• 26:03
  Speaker 1: we all think realistically about that day when we will
• 26:09
  Speaker 1: be victimized with what is life's final common denominator. That's
• 26:15
  Speaker 1: something we call death. We all think about it. And
• 26:22
  Speaker 1: every nine then I think about my own death, and
• 26:26
  Speaker 1: I think about my own funeral, and I don't think
• 26:29
  Speaker 1: of it in a morbid sense. Every nine then I
• 26:33
  Speaker 1: asked myself, what is it that I would want to say?
• 26:39
  Speaker 1: And I leave the word to you this morning. If
• 26:43
  Speaker 1: any of you are around when I have to meet
• 26:46
  Speaker 1: my day, I don't want a long funeral. And if
• 26:51
  Speaker 1: you get somebody to deliver the ulite, to tell them
• 26:54
  Speaker 1: not to talk to you now every nine, then I
• 26:58
  Speaker 1: wonder what I want him to say to Tell him
• 27:00
  Speaker 1: not to mention that I have a Nobel Peace Prize.
• 27:03
  Speaker 1: That isn't important. Tell him not to mention that I
• 27:07
  Speaker 1: have three or four hundred of awards, that's not important.
• 27:11
  Speaker 1: Tell him not to mention where I went to school.
• 27:14
  Speaker 1: I like somebody to mention that day that Marderin Luther
• 27:19
  Speaker 1: King junior tried to give his life serving of us.
• 27:24
  Speaker 1: I'd like for somebody to say that day that Mardein
• 27:27
  Speaker 1: Luther King junior tried to love somebody. I want you
• 27:32
  Speaker 1: to say that day that I tried to be right
• 27:35
  Speaker 1: on the wall question. I want you to be able
• 27:38
  Speaker 1: to say that day that I did try to feed
• 27:42
  Speaker 1: the hungry. I want you to be able to say
• 27:45
  Speaker 1: that day that I did try in my life to
• 27:49
  Speaker 1: close those who were naked. I want you to say
• 27:52
  Speaker 1: on that day that I did try in my life
• 27:55
  Speaker 1: to visit those who were imprisoned. I want you to
• 27:59
  Speaker 1: say that I try to love and serve humanity. Yes,
• 28:04
  Speaker 1: if you want to say that I was a drum major,
• 28:08
  Speaker 1: say that I was a drum major for justice, Say
• 28:11
  Speaker 1: that I was a drum major for peace. I was
• 28:14
  Speaker 1: a drum major for righteousness. And all of the other
• 28:18
  Speaker 1: shall of things will nothing matter. I won't have any
• 28:22
  Speaker 1: money to leave behind, I won't have the fine and
• 28:27
  Speaker 1: luxurious things of life to leave behind. But I just
• 28:31
  Speaker 1: want to leave I committed life behind, and that's all
• 28:35
  Speaker 1: I want to say. If I can help somebody as
• 28:39
  Speaker 1: I pass along, if I can cheer somebody with a
• 28:43
  Speaker 1: world a song, if I can show somebody he's traveling wrong,
• 28:48
  Speaker 1: then my living will not be in Vaine. If I
• 28:52
  Speaker 1: can do my duty as a Christian arc, if I
• 28:55
  Speaker 1: can bring salvation to a war who wants wrought. If
• 28:59
  Speaker 1: I can spread the message as the master talk, then
• 29:04
  Speaker 1: my living we'll not be in vain. You're listening Morning show?

• 33:20
  Speaker 1: done it. It's no fun. Okay, it's early in the morning,
• 33:24
  Speaker 1: and let us go. Martin Luther King Junior's family, by
• 33:26
  Speaker 1: the way, was in Arizona yesterday leading a march through
• 33:29
  Speaker 1: Phoenix to urge Democratic Center Christian Cinema to quote urgently
• 33:33
  Speaker 1: pass federal voting light rights excuse me verting rights legislation.
• 33:38
  Speaker 1: Cinema and West Virginia Joe Mansion you know, are considered
• 33:40
  Speaker 1: moderate Democrats, although some members of their party feel that
• 33:43
  Speaker 1: both harkened back to the time when they were so
• 33:45
  Speaker 1: called bullweevil Democrats or right wing even racist members of
• 33:49
  Speaker 1: the party who in recent years have joined the GOP.
• 33:53
  Speaker 1: President Biden traveled to the City of Brotherly Love yesterday
• 33:56
  Speaker 1: to honor the Reverend Doctor Kings his legacy see an
• 34:00
  Speaker 1: audience in Philadelphia. He wanted to press their lawmakers to
• 34:03
  Speaker 1: back the passage of new voting rights legislation, a concerted
• 34:06
  Speaker 1: action to fight against white extremism and also for greater
• 34:10
  Speaker 1: economic justice. The President first Lady volunteered also at a
• 34:13
  Speaker 1: hunger relief organization. Meanwhile, Alabama Congresswoman Terry soul is also
• 34:17
  Speaker 1: pressing for unwavering push from voting rights. She tells MSNBC.
• 34:21
  Speaker 1: She doesn't want the members of their party to focus
• 34:23
  Speaker 1: solely on the often unsupported Joe Manchion and Christian cinema,
• 34:27
  Speaker 1: or even the current political wins. We must not be
• 34:30
  Speaker 1: deterred by two senators or even by the sixteen Republican
• 34:34
  Speaker 1: senators that voted for the reauthorization of the Voting Rights
• 34:37
  Speaker 1: Act in two thousand and six and now will not
• 34:40
  Speaker 1: vote for it. That's right, she says. President Biden. By
• 34:45
  Speaker 1: the way, again the Dalilah, and she says now that
• 34:47
  Speaker 1: the President Trump for President Trump is claiming that white
• 34:51
  Speaker 1: people are being discriminated against when it comes to getting
• 34:53
  Speaker 1: the coronavirus treatment. The FBI says the gunman who took
• 34:56
  Speaker 1: hostages inside of a synagogue in Texas on Saturday was
• 34:59
  Speaker 1: a forty four year old British citizen named Malik Faisal Akram.
• 35:04
  Speaker 1: The President's praising federal and local law enforcement for their
• 35:07
  Speaker 1: work and bringing the ten hours standoff to an end
• 35:10
  Speaker 1: with all the hostages unharmed. Ahram was killed. At first
• 35:14
  Speaker 1: they wouldn't say how, but apparently police did kill him.
• 35:16
  Speaker 1: And now they say two young people, two teenagers, are
• 35:19
  Speaker 1: under arrest. They're very youngster. Their ages their names are
• 35:23
  Speaker 1: not being given either ages, but they are under arrest them.
• 35:26
  Speaker 1: Don't know why or what connection they had, but at
• 35:28
  Speaker 1: the time the federal agents said that there was no
• 35:30
  Speaker 1: connection between Akram and any necessary group or anything. But
• 35:34
  Speaker 1: he did want a woman who is sentenced a neuroscientist
• 35:38
  Speaker 1: from Pakistan currently serving an eighty six years sentence with terrorism.
• 35:42
  Speaker 1: They want she wanted he excuse me, he wanted that
• 35:44
  Speaker 1: woman released. And that woman I think they said was
• 35:48
  Speaker 1: his sister. That heavy winter storm battling the South over
• 35:52
  Speaker 1: the weekend, I wanted just to shout out AKA the
• 35:55
  Speaker 1: members of Alpha Kappa Alphre Incorporated. This is their founding weekend.
• 36:00
  Speaker 1: Back to Steve Harvey Morning Show. Happy birthday, Steve. You're
• 36:03
  Speaker 1: listening to all morning long. We are celebrating Steve Harvey's
• 36:09
  Speaker 1: sixty fifth birthday. So, Steve, on this King Holiday, what
• 36:14
  Speaker 1: does the legacy of doctor King mean to you? How
• 36:17
  Speaker 1: do you feel about what we're going through as a
• 36:19
  Speaker 1: nation right now? The systemic racism, social injustices white is
• 36:25
  Speaker 1: voting so important? I mean, well for all of us.
• 36:29
  Speaker 1: You know, our people bled and died for the right
• 36:33
  Speaker 1: for us to be able to vote, and for us
• 36:36
  Speaker 1: not to vote is a complete travesty, and we have
• 36:39
  Speaker 1: to pay tribute to the people before us in the
• 36:43
  Speaker 1: civil rights movement. You know, I can't even just go
• 36:46
  Speaker 1: down the list of names of people who who stood
• 36:50
  Speaker 1: for us to have rights, you know, eating at lunch counters.
• 36:53
  Speaker 1: You know, we're we had our different water founders, we
• 36:55
  Speaker 1: had different bathrooms. It was so different. And even though
• 36:59
  Speaker 1: we have these things now, we still have to keep
• 37:01
  Speaker 1: the fight up because there's a fight to make America
• 37:04
  Speaker 1: great again. And their version of a great America is
• 37:08
  Speaker 1: not the America of today. They want to make America
• 37:12
  Speaker 1: something that it used to be, and for us, I
• 37:15
  Speaker 1: can't think of a period in the past where it
• 37:17
  Speaker 1: was better for us. So we've got to get out
• 37:20
  Speaker 1: there to vote to make sure that those people in
• 37:23
  Speaker 1: the minority cannot rule us who are in the majority.
• 37:28
  Speaker 1: And you know, doctor Martin Luther King was all about
• 37:31
  Speaker 1: the peaceful movement and everything and non violent protests. We
• 37:36
  Speaker 1: still have to continue that. But the key is protests.
• 37:40
  Speaker 1: We still have to protest. We still got the kneel
• 37:44
  Speaker 1: at football games, we still got the march in front
• 37:46
  Speaker 1: of police stations. We still have to walk for Black
• 37:50
  Speaker 1: Lives Matter. I'm you know, the fact that we've been
• 37:54
  Speaker 1: here these hundreds of years and we still marching and
• 37:57
  Speaker 1: asking for equal treatment. It's really alarming. It's really alarming.
• 38:04
  Speaker 1: And the question just keeps beckon into me. Who are
• 38:08
  Speaker 1: these people who are dead set on making sure we
• 38:13
  Speaker 1: are never equal? And I can only just say that
• 38:17
  Speaker 1: racism is alive and well in this country and it
• 38:20
  Speaker 1: really his ugly head up even more four years ago,
• 38:24
  Speaker 1: and so we've got to make a concerted effort. We've
• 38:27
  Speaker 1: already proven that our vote changes things. In the last election,
• 38:31
  Speaker 1: it was us who changed the election and they know it.
• 38:35
  Speaker 1: So now it is us who they are trying to
• 38:38
  Speaker 1: suppress the vote in. It is us, trust me, because
• 38:42
  Speaker 1: they saw that it was us who made the difference
• 38:45
  Speaker 1: in Wisconsin, in Detroit, in Philly, in Georgia, in Arizona.
• 38:51
  Speaker 1: It was us. And now they're trying to make sure
• 38:55
  Speaker 1: us don't influence the election again. But we're not going
• 38:58
  Speaker 1: to do that. We're voting from now. You have awakened
• 39:01
  Speaker 1: the sleeping giant. Please go to when We All Vote
• 39:04
  Speaker 1: dot org to get information on voter registration. The midterm
• 39:07
  Speaker 1: elections are coming up this year. Yes, also coming up

• 54:22
  Speaker 1: the mountaintop speech. Let us rise up tonight with a
• 54:27
  Speaker 1: greater readiness in these powerful days. These days a challenge
• 54:37
  Speaker 1: to make America what it ought to be. We have
• 54:41
  Speaker 1: an opportunity to make America a better nation. And I
• 54:46
  Speaker 1: want to thank God once more for allowing me to
• 54:50
  Speaker 1: be here with you. You know, several years ago, I
• 54:54
  Speaker 1: was in New York City autographing the first book that
• 54:58
  Speaker 1: I had written. While sitting the autographing books, the minute
• 55:04
  Speaker 1: black woman came up. The only question I heard from
• 55:08
  Speaker 1: her was you Mardin Luther King. And I was looking
• 55:12
  Speaker 1: down writing and I said yes. The next minute, I
• 55:16
  Speaker 1: felt something beating on my chest. Before I knew it,
• 55:20
  Speaker 1: I had been stabbed by this deminuted woman. I was
• 55:23
  Speaker 1: rushed to Hullum Hospital. It was a dog Saturday afternoon.
• 55:29
  Speaker 1: That blade had gone through, and the X rays revealed
• 55:33
  Speaker 1: that the tip of the blade was on the edge
• 55:36
  Speaker 1: of my air order. The main uttering and one suchs punction.
• 55:41
  Speaker 1: You drowned in your own blood. That's the end of you.
• 55:45
  Speaker 1: It came out in the New York Times the next
• 55:48
  Speaker 1: morning that if I had merely sneezed, I would have died. Well.
• 55:52
  Speaker 1: About four days later, they allowed me after the operation,
• 55:57
  Speaker 1: after my chest had been opened and the blade had
• 55:59
  Speaker 1: been taken, to move around in the wheelchair and the hospital,
• 56:04
  Speaker 1: they allowed me to read some of the mail that
• 56:06
  Speaker 1: came in, and from all over the states and the world.
• 56:09
  Speaker 1: Kind letters came in. I read a few, but one
• 56:14
  Speaker 1: of them I will never forget. I had received one
• 56:18
  Speaker 1: from the President and the Vice President. I've forgotten what
• 56:21
  Speaker 1: those telegrams said. I'd received the visit and a letter
• 56:25
  Speaker 1: from the Governor of New York, but I've forgotten what
• 56:27
  Speaker 1: that letters say it. But that was another letter that
• 56:33
  Speaker 1: came from a little girl, a young girl who was
• 56:37
  Speaker 1: a student at the White Plains High School. And I
• 56:40
  Speaker 1: looked at that letter. I'll never forget it, said simply,
• 56:43
  Speaker 1: dear Doctor King, I am a ninth grade student at
• 56:49
  Speaker 1: the White Plains High School. She said. While it should
• 56:53
  Speaker 1: not matter, I would like to mention that I'm a
• 56:55
  Speaker 1: white girl. I read in the paper of your misfortune
• 57:02
  Speaker 1: and of your suffering, and I read that if you
• 57:05
  Speaker 1: had sneezed, you would have died. I'm simply right in
• 57:09
  Speaker 1: you to say that I'm so happy that you didn't sneeze.
• 57:13
  Speaker 1: And I'd want to say to Night. I want to
• 57:16
  Speaker 1: say to Night that I too, am happy that I
• 57:19
  Speaker 1: didn't sneeze. Because of I had sneeze, I wouldn't have
• 57:22
  Speaker 1: been around Hid in nineteen sixty when students all over
• 57:26
  Speaker 1: the South started sitting in a lunchtouns, and I knew
• 57:30
  Speaker 1: that as they were sitting in they were really standing
• 57:33
  Speaker 1: up for the best in the American dream and taken
• 57:37
  Speaker 1: the whole nation back to those great weals of democracy
• 57:40
  Speaker 1: which were dug deep by the founding fathers in the
• 57:43
  Speaker 1: Declaration of Independence and the Constitution. If I had sneezed,
• 57:48
  Speaker 1: I wouldn't have been around Hid in nineteen sixty one,
• 57:51
  Speaker 1: when we decided to take a ride for freedom and
• 57:55
  Speaker 1: end its segregation in it to state travel. If I
• 57:58
  Speaker 1: had sneeze, I wouldn't have been around here in nineteen
• 58:04
  Speaker 1: sixty two when Nigros and all been at Georgia decided
• 58:08
  Speaker 1: to straighten that box up. And whenever men and women
• 58:11
  Speaker 1: straighten that box up, they're going somewhere because a man
• 58:15
  Speaker 1: had roger back unless it is bent. If I had sneezed,
• 58:20
  Speaker 1: I had sneezed, I wouldn't have been here. In nineteen
• 58:23
  Speaker 1: sixty three, the black people of Birmingham, Alabama aroused the
• 58:31
  Speaker 1: conscience of this nation and brought into being the Civil
• 58:35
  Speaker 1: Rights Bill. If I had sneeze, I wouldn't have had
• 58:38
  Speaker 1: a chance later that year in August to try to
• 58:41
  Speaker 1: tell America about a dream that I had had. If
• 58:45
  Speaker 1: I had sneeze, I wouldn't have been down in Selma,
• 58:50
  Speaker 1: Alabama to see the Gretain movement there. If I had sneeze,
• 58:56
  Speaker 1: I wouldn't have been in Memphis to see our community
• 59:00
  Speaker 1: rally around those brothers and sisters who are suffering. I'm
• 59:06
  Speaker 1: so happy that I didn't snead, and they were telling
• 59:09
  Speaker 1: me now it doesn't matter now. It really doesn't matter
• 59:13
  Speaker 1: what happens now. I left Atlanta this morning and as
• 59:17
  Speaker 1: we got started on the plane that was six of us,
• 59:20
  Speaker 1: the pilot said over the public address system, we are
• 59:26
  Speaker 1: sorry for the delaye but we have doctor Martin Luther
• 59:30
  Speaker 1: King on the plane and to be sure that all
• 59:34
  Speaker 1: of the bags were checked and to be sure that
• 59:38
  Speaker 1: nothing would be wrong on the plane, we had to
• 59:42
  Speaker 1: check out everything carefully, and we've had the plane protected
• 59:47
  Speaker 1: and guard it all night. And then I got into
• 59:50
  Speaker 1: Memphis and some began to say the threats I talk
• 59:56
  Speaker 1: about the threats that were out or what would happen
• 1:00:00
  Speaker 1: to me from some of our sick white brothers. Well,
• 1:00:06
  Speaker 1: I don't know what will happen now. We've got some
• 1:00:09
  Speaker 1: difficult days ahead. But it really doesn't matter with me now,
• 1:00:13
  Speaker 1: because I've been to the mountaintop. I don't mind. Like anybody,
• 1:00:20
  Speaker 1: I would like to live a long life. Longevity has
• 1:00:25
  Speaker 1: its place, but I'm not concerned about that, nah. I
• 1:00:31
  Speaker 1: just want to do God's will, and He's allowed me
• 1:00:35
  Speaker 1: to go up to the mountain, and I've looked over
• 1:00:40
  Speaker 1: and I've seen the promised land. I may not get
• 1:00:46
  Speaker 1: there with you but I want you to know the
• 1:00:49
  Speaker 1: night that we as a people will get to the
• 1:00:53
  Speaker 1: Promised Land. So I'm happy tonight. I'm not worried about anything.
• 1:00:59
  Speaker 1: I'm feelit. Dinner man, Mine eyes have seen the glory
• 1:01:04
  Speaker 1: of the coming of the Lord. You're listening show coming up.
• 1:01:10
  Speaker 1: We're gonna play some excerpts from Doctor King's I Have
• 1:01:13
  Speaker 1: a Dream speech. I am happy to john with you
• 1:01:19
  Speaker 1: today in what will go down in history as the
• 1:01:26
  Speaker 1: greatest demonstration for freedom in the history of our nation.
• 1:01:37
  Speaker 1: Five score years ago, a great American in whose symbolic
• 1:01:44
  Speaker 1: shadow we stand today, signed the Emancipation Proclamation. This momentous
• 1:01:52
  Speaker 1: decree came as a great beacon light of Pope the
• 1:01:56
  Speaker 1: millions of Negro slaves who have been seared in the
• 1:02:01
  Speaker 1: flames of withering injustice. It came as a joyous day
• 1:02:06
  Speaker 1: break to end the long night of their captivity. But
• 1:02:12
  Speaker 1: one hundred years later, the Negro steal is not free.
• 1:02:20
  Speaker 1: One hundred years later, the life of the Negro is
• 1:02:24
  Speaker 1: still sadly crippled by the manacles of segregation and the
• 1:02:30
  Speaker 1: chains of discrimination. One hundred years later, the Negro lives
• 1:02:35
  Speaker 1: on a lonely island of poverty, in the midst of
• 1:02:39
  Speaker 1: a vast ocean of material prosperity. One hundred years later,
• 1:02:49
  Speaker 1: the Negro is still languished in the corners of American
• 1:02:53
  Speaker 1: society and finds himself in exile in his own land.
• 1:03:00
  Speaker 1: So we've come here today to dramatize a shameful condition.
• 1:03:07
  Speaker 1: In a sense, we've come to our nation's capital to
• 1:03:10
  Speaker 1: cash a check. When the architects of our Republic wrote
• 1:03:18
  Speaker 1: the magnificent words of the Constitution and the Declaration of Independence,
• 1:03:24
  Speaker 1: they were signing a promise or inote, to whichever the
• 1:03:29
  Speaker 1: American was to fall air. This note was a promise
• 1:03:34
  Speaker 1: at all men, yes, black men as well as white men,
• 1:03:41
  Speaker 1: would be guaranteed the unalienable rights of life, liberty, and
• 1:03:47
  Speaker 1: the pursuit of happiness. It is obvious today that America
• 1:03:54
  Speaker 1: has defaulted on this promise, or in so far as
• 1:03:58
  Speaker 1: her citizens of law our concerned. Instead of honoring this
• 1:04:04
  Speaker 1: sacred obligation, America has given the Negro people a bad check,
• 1:04:11
  Speaker 1: a check which has come back mark insufficient funds. But
• 1:04:20
  Speaker 1: we refuse to believe that the Bank of Justice is bankrupt.
• 1:04:28
  Speaker 1: He refused to believe that that are insufficient funds in
• 1:04:32
  Speaker 1: the great vaults of opportunity of this nation. So we've
• 1:04:36
  Speaker 1: come to cash this check, a check that will give
• 1:04:39
  Speaker 1: us a pun demand the riches of freedom and the
• 1:04:42
  Speaker 1: security of justice. We have also come to this hell
• 1:04:53
  Speaker 1: of spot to remind America of the fierce urgency of now.
• 1:05:00
  Speaker 1: This is no time to engage in the luxury of cooling,
• 1:05:06
  Speaker 1: offer to take the tranquilizing drug of gradualism. Now is
• 1:05:16
  Speaker 1: the time to make real the promises of democracy. Now
• 1:05:23
  Speaker 1: is the time arise from the dark and desolate valley
• 1:05:28
  Speaker 1: of segregation to the sunlit path of racial justice. Now
• 1:05:32
  Speaker 1: is the time quick sends a racial injustice to the
• 1:05:42
  Speaker 1: solid rock or brotherhood. Now is the time the reality
• 1:05:50
  Speaker 1: for all of god'st It would be fatal for the
• 1:05:54
  Speaker 1: nation to overlook the urgency of the moment disweltering summer
• 1:06:01
  Speaker 1: of the Negroes. Legitimate discontent will not pass until that
• 1:06:07
  Speaker 1: is an invigorating altumn of freedom and equality. Nineteen sixty
• 1:06:13
  Speaker 1: three is not an end, but a beginning. Those who
• 1:06:17
  Speaker 1: hope that the negro needed to blow off steam and
• 1:06:22
  Speaker 1: will now be content will have a rude awakening. If
• 1:06:26
  Speaker 1: the nation returns to business as usual, there will be
• 1:06:36
  Speaker 1: neither rest nor tranquility in America until the negro has
• 1:06:42
  Speaker 1: granted his citizenship rights. The whirlwinds a revolt will continue
• 1:06:47
  Speaker 1: to shake the foundations of our nation until the bright
• 1:06:51
  Speaker 1: day of justice emerges. But that is something that I
• 1:06:55
  Speaker 1: must say to my people who stand on the warm
• 1:06:59
  Speaker 1: threshold which leads into the palace of justice. In the
• 1:07:03
  Speaker 1: process of gaining our rightful place, we must not be
• 1:07:08
  Speaker 1: guilty of wrong for deeds. Let us not seek to
• 1:07:12
  Speaker 1: satisfy first for freedom by drinking from the cup of
• 1:07:17
  Speaker 1: bitterness and hatred. You're listening show right now. As promise,
• 1:07:32
  Speaker 1: we're gonna play some of doctor Kings. I have a
• 1:07:34
  Speaker 1: dream speech which he delivered on the steps of the
• 1:07:36
  Speaker 1: Lincoln Memorial back in nineteen sixty three. One day, right
• 1:07:41
  Speaker 1: now in Alabama, little black bars and black girls, we'll
• 1:07:45
  Speaker 1: be able to join hands with little white bars and
• 1:07:47
  Speaker 1: white girls as sisters and brothers. I have a dream today.
• 1:07:53
  Speaker 1: I have a dream that one day every valace shall
• 1:07:56
  Speaker 1: be exalted, every hill and mountains shall be made Lord.
• 1:08:00
  Speaker 1: The rough places will be made clean, and the crooked
• 1:08:03
  Speaker 1: places will be made straight, and the gore of the
• 1:08:06
  Speaker 1: Lord shall be revealed in all shall see it together
• 1:08:10
  Speaker 1: This is our hope. This is a piece that I
• 1:08:14
  Speaker 1: go back to the Southwes. With this faith, we will
• 1:08:18
  Speaker 1: be able to hear out of the mountain of despair
• 1:08:21
  Speaker 1: a stone of hoop. With this fame, we will be
• 1:08:25
  Speaker 1: able to transform the jangling discords of our nation into
• 1:08:30
  Speaker 1: a beautiful symphony of brotherhood. With this fee, we will
• 1:08:35
  Speaker 1: be able to work together, to pray together, to struggle together,
• 1:08:38
  Speaker 1: to go to jail together, to stand up for freedom, together,
• 1:08:42
  Speaker 1: knowing that we will be free. One day. This will
• 1:08:51
  Speaker 1: be the day when all of God's children be able
• 1:08:55
  Speaker 1: to sing with new meaning, my country tearsity, sweet land
• 1:09:00
  Speaker 1: of liberty of bur sings land where my fathers died,
• 1:09:05
  Speaker 1: land of the pilgrim's pride. From every mountain side. Let
• 1:09:11
  Speaker 1: freedom ring in Americus. To be a great nation, this
• 1:09:14
  Speaker 1: must become true. So let freedom ring from the prodigious
• 1:09:20
  Speaker 1: hilltops of New Hampshire. Let freedom ring from the mighty
• 1:09:24
  Speaker 1: mountains of New York. Let freedom ring from the heightening
• 1:09:28
  Speaker 1: allegantes of Pennsylvania. Let freedom ring from the snow cap
• 1:09:33
  Speaker 1: arc is of Colorado. Let freedom ring from the crebacious
• 1:09:38
  Speaker 1: slops of California. But not only that, Let freedom ring
• 1:09:43
  Speaker 1: from storm Mountain of Georgia. Let freedom ring from lookout
• 1:09:49
  Speaker 1: mountain of Tennessee. Let freedom ring from every hill and
• 1:09:55
  Speaker 1: mole hill of Mississippi, from every mountain, fire and freedom ring,
• 1:10:00
  Speaker 1: and women happened. When we allow freedom ring, When we
• 1:10:08
  Speaker 1: let it ring from every village and ever hamlet, from
• 1:10:11
  Speaker 1: every state and every city, we will be able to
• 1:10:16
  Speaker 1: speed up that day when all about children, black men
• 1:10:20
  Speaker 1: and white men, jewels and ten piles, protostants and catholic
• 1:10:25
  Speaker 1: we'll be able to drawn hands and singing the words
