Speaker 3 (01:58):
Come on you think, uh huh, I sure will.
Speaker 2 (02:04):
Good morning everybody. You all listen to the voice.
Speaker 6 (02:07):
Come on dig me now, one and only Steve Harvey
got a radio show. I thank God for it every day.
I try to remember that too, you know. I try
to remember to be grateful. I think gratitude is one
of the things that helps keep me grounded. You can
go as far as you want in life. If you
don't mind who gets the credit. Well that applies to
(02:28):
God too, don't it. I mean, you know, really, if
you don't mind who gets the credit. I'm surrounded by
very competent people. I'm surrounded by a lot of people
who work hard on their jobs on their career, who
are dedicated employees and also just dedicated to their families
(02:50):
and you know, dedicated to their own set of aspirations.
I don't expect anybody to work for me forever. I
always look at my opportunities are stepping stones because I
want everyone around me really to aspire to be more.
I mean, that's really the way I am. I'm not
any other way. I'm not trying to hold you to
(03:12):
this position. You know, tell you there's no room for
growth any of that. But even though I'm surrounded by
these people, I'm grateful that God placed them in my path.
Speaker 2 (03:28):
In my life.
Speaker 6 (03:30):
But in my mind, in my spirit, in everything in me,
the credit still belongs to God. I'm sorry. The credit
still belongs to God. See if you would, just for
a moment, stop thinking about yourself, just for a moment.
(03:53):
I know that's hard, but just for a moment, stop
thinking about yourself and realize that maybe you are who
you are because God is who he is. Maybe that's
the case. Have you ever considered that? That's the strongest
possibility I can give to you? You know, how do
you think you the one that made it through? How
(04:16):
you think you the one after all of the ignorant
decisions we have made? And oh my goodness, let's all
be honest. Ain't we made some crazy decisions I'm talking about, man,
I have made decisions so adverse to my destiny and career,
my promises. I've made some decisions man, knowingly you hear
(04:40):
me knowingly do something wrong, and in spite of all that,
I'm still here standing. Okay, come on now, really, really,
all the dirt you'd bene done, everybody done dirt, all
the mistakes you've made, you in the position you in
today because of what? Because you all that? Because you
(05:03):
work harder than anybody else. Look, I work hard, I'll
be I'll tell you in a minute.
Speaker 2 (05:10):
I work hard.
Speaker 6 (05:10):
But I don't think I'm the hardest working person out there.
I'm pretty sure somebody done work way harder than I have.
So okay, so you work hard? Okay, cool, I got
all that. But man, what about his grace and his mercy?
What about his favor? How many times, man, you done
(05:32):
relied on that even when you ain't know you was
relying on it? How many times man, gods just shown
you mercy you ain't even deserve it? Do you know
how many things I've done wrong? I just ain't get
caught at it? You know, let me see how simple
I can be? You speed you jwall. You lie to
(05:54):
police when you get pulled over that you wasn't speeding.
You go to court and argue you wasn't speeding when
you was. You make U turns. I'm just doing traffic violations. Now,
let's get off traffic for a second. Let's get on
human violations. You talk about people when you're not supposed to.
(06:17):
You indulge yourself in gossip even when you don't really
have all the facts. You pass judgment, You lust for
people that don't belong to you. You say things to
people that you're not supposed to say. So, look, all
(06:38):
of us, we all were all guilty. Now see I'm
not saying you do all of that, but I'm saying
I'm pretty sure I hit you somewhere in there, just
somewhere in there. You don't lie before you know you
lied recently. I mean, come on, And I'm just saying
so with all that in mind. See, I'm just looking
at the little things that we do that we don't
(06:59):
get busted. Not to mention the chips you stole when
you was a kid and nobody caught you. Well, that elevated,
didn't it. And some of y'all just didn't stop stealing,
and next thing you know, you was in a car.
Now you're sitting somewhere you don't want to be sitting
because of a decision you made. But through his grace
and mercy, couldn't it have been worse?
Speaker 2 (07:17):
Though?
Speaker 6 (07:18):
Without his grace and mercy, could not it have been worse.
I know two dudes that got caught in the garage
one time trying to break in somebody's house, and the
person in the house they broke into just happened to
have a gun and held them in the garage, caught
them and held them to the garage to the police car.
That's Grace and Mercy right there, because they had all
(07:39):
full right to shoot these two people, but they didn't.
They're Grace and Mercy. See, all of us have benefited
from his grace and mercy. All of us have done
a wrong, committed a sin, broken the law, and somehow,
through his grace and mercy, got by, doing drugs, buying drugs,
slanging drugs, doing something, got by, jump on somebody for
(08:00):
no reason, got by, you know. So see how you
figure with all that that can go on in your life?
And then hold on, let me throw a couple more
at you. You can't wake yourself up in the morning,
mister big shot. You don't have the ability to control
the breaths that you take. Really, mister big shot, really,
(08:25):
let's get real basic with it now. You can't wake
yourself up in the morning. That's favor, that's grace, that's mercy,
that's Him allowing you to wake up just hoping we
get it right. You know, God spared me through all
the dirt I was doing just hoping. One day, man,
(08:47):
can you just straighten up a little bit? When I
finally straightened up, and I'm gonna just say it, straightened
up a little bit. See, I ain't straightened up all
the way. Say, I ain't gonna sit here and tell
you that I just straightened up a little bit. He
started blessing me. So the more blessings I got start going, Man,
maybe I'll try straighten up a little bit more. So
I straightened up a little bit more. I still got
a long way to go, but I'm straighter than I
(09:10):
was now. When people judging me, and as they will,
and they do, because that ain't right, but they do,
and I ain't walking just the way they walk, Then
here come to criticism.
Speaker 2 (09:18):
I get it. All the time.
Speaker 6 (09:20):
Stop wanting credit all the time, and give out some
credit where credit is due instead of having somebody patting
you on your back all the time.
Speaker 2 (09:28):
Why don't you tell God kill people it was really
was God, man that you don't really know how you
made it?
Speaker 6 (09:34):
That really man, you have no explanation for your success,
or you have no explanation why you still exist in
the day. Why don't you tell somebody it was God today?
Don't be ashamed. It's the truth, ain't it. I mean, really, man,
let's give God some credit here. Give God the credit
and the glory and the honor. And like that plaque said,
you can go as far as you want in life
(09:54):
if you don't mind who gets the credit.
Speaker 2 (09:56):
All right, you're.
Speaker 1 (09:57):
Listening to the Steve Harvey Morning Show.
Speaker 6 (10:02):
All right, everybody, welcome to the ride. This is the
Steve Harvey Morning Showing. A very very special morning. This
is Martin Luther King Holiday. We got a national holiday
for such a great man. I was just recently in
Memphis and I stood on the balcony at the Lorraine
Motel and took photos in the exact spot that on
(10:22):
front of the reef where Martin Luther King was killed.
That was my first time ever doing that. It was
an eerie feeling. Eerie. Now the building across the street
where the shot was fired from, that building's gone, but
they've turned it into the National Civil Rights Museum. Wonderful place.
Man a lot of history there, had a lot of stuff,
(10:44):
a lot of information. It was a good visit. So
I just did that and so and saw all of
the paraphernalia that they sell, so many pictures of King,
so many sweatshirts. But I am a man on it
and everything. It's just so much. He did mynment march
on the monument and all of that was up there
in the Civil Rights Museum. If you get a chance
(11:06):
to visit in Memphis, it is worth it.
Speaker 2 (11:08):
It is worth it.
Speaker 6 (11:09):
And they preserve They have the same cars that were
out front on that day. They're in the parking lot.
It's a uh and you can go and they some
people are allowed on the balcony. We just happened to
be one of them. Very fortunate, but it was. It
was every fielding out. It's not a smile photo.
Speaker 2 (11:29):
I can tell you that. That's all I can say. Yeah,
But welcome to the ride.
Speaker 6 (11:33):
John Shirley Strawberry calling for real Mississippi Monica Junior and
the legend that is nephew Tommy Junior.
Speaker 2 (11:39):
Today anything, well, you.
Speaker 7 (11:41):
Know it's you know, it's doctor King's day.
Speaker 5 (11:43):
Man.
Speaker 7 (11:44):
You know, I wasn't alive when Doctor King was here. Man,
I wasn't there.
Speaker 6 (11:49):
Talking to babies. Yeah, yeah, I ain't stories, Junior. They
historical events. They're not just stories. They they ain't like
Mary had a little lamb or nothing like that. As
you're talking about it sounds I can't stand talking to
kids sometimes.
Speaker 2 (12:06):
No damn sense of history. I wasn't alive. I just
hear about the stories.
Speaker 6 (12:11):
This ain't no bedtime story, you know, baby, you know
one time there was a time where we couldn't sit
at the lunch kind and eat our food. Sometimes we
crossed the street.
Speaker 2 (12:22):
And they side.
Speaker 6 (12:24):
Yeah, I'm just trying to that. That's what sometimes, you know,
you know, I'm just messing with you doing you sometimes. Yeah,
just sometimes you know, just young people get on my
damn nerves because you know they wasn't now so now
it's a story like it's like people can't believe, Like
I give you an example, these young people today, they
can't believe that Michael Jordan was the greatest basketball player
(12:49):
to ever live.
Speaker 2 (12:51):
Some boy telling me how good John Morani is. I'm going, wait, man,
hold man, what I mean? They have a little ignorant
ass argument. He is not my Jordan, That's for sure.
Nobody is. You know, you know I appreciate that. Just
just amazing.
Speaker 6 (13:07):
Somehow you wouldn't now you think, hell now Lebron Lebron
is a great basketball player and he's accomplished is something
I've never seen them before. His longevity, getting his boy
in the league and all like that. But you know,
last week y'all asked me who i'd rather be? Will
have a Lebron's little Lebron's body or Jalen hurts face
and give me his face because I don't want to
(13:27):
be six nine and slew.
Speaker 1 (13:29):
Foot thirty two minutes after the album.
Speaker 2 (13:32):
Already let my hair go. He won't even stupid.

Speaker 6 (14:20):
Market Right now, here's the drum major stique speech on
the Steve Harvey Morning Show.
Speaker 3 (14:25):
An instinct. It's a kind of drum major instinct.
Speaker 9 (14:29):
A desire to be out front, a desire to lead
the parade, a desire to be first. It is something
that runs a whole gamut of life. And so before
we condemn them, let us see that we all have
the drum major instinct.
Speaker 1 (14:51):
We all want to be.
Speaker 9 (14:53):
Important, to surpass others, to achieve distinction, to lead the parade.
Alfred Adler, the great psychoanalyst, contends that this is the
dominant impulse. Sigmund Fraud used to contend that sex was
(15:15):
the dominant impulse, and Adler came with a new argument,
saying that this quest for recognition, this desire for attention,
this desire for distinction, is the basic impulse, the basic
drive of human human life this drum major instinct. And
(15:41):
you know we begin early to ask life to put
us first. Our first cry as a baby was a
bid for attention, and all through childhood the drum major
impulse or instinct is a major obsession. Children ask life
(16:07):
to grant them first place.
Speaker 3 (16:12):
They are a little bundle of ego. They have innately
the drum major instinct. Now in adult life we still
have it, and we really never get by it.
Speaker 9 (16:32):
We like to do something good, and you know, we
like to be praised for it. Now, if you don't
believe that, you just go on living life and you
will discover very soon that you like to be praised.
Speaker 3 (16:49):
Everybody likes it as a matter of fact.
Speaker 9 (16:53):
And somehow this warm blow we feel when we are
praised or when our name aim is in print, is
something of the vitamin aid to our ego. Nobody is
unhappy when they are praised, even if they know they.
Speaker 3 (17:13):
Don't deserve it, and even if they don't believe it.
Speaker 9 (17:17):
The only unhappy people about praise is when that praise
is going too much towards somebody else. Right, But everybody
likes to be praised because of this real drum major
instinct do you know that a lot of the race
problem grows out of the drum major instinct, a need
(17:42):
that some people have to feel superior, a need that
some people have to feel that they are first, and
to feel that their white skin.
Speaker 1 (17:57):
Ordain them to be first.
Speaker 3 (18:00):
Played today, they have said over and over again in
ways that we see with our own eyes.
Speaker 9 (18:11):
In fact, not too long ago, a man down in
Mississippi said that God was a charred member of the
White Citizens' Council, And so God being the charter member
means that everybody who's in that has a kind of divinity,
a kind of superiority. And think of what has happened
(18:34):
in historism as a result, this perverted use of the
drum made instinct led to the most tragic prejudice, the
most tragic expressions of man's.
Speaker 1 (18:47):
In humanity to man.
Speaker 9 (18:50):
And not only does this thing go into the racial struggle,
goes into the struggle between nations. And I would submit
to you this morning that what is wrong in the
world today is the the nations of the world engaged
in a bitter, colossal.
Speaker 1 (19:07):
Contest for supremacy.
Speaker 9 (19:11):
And if some doesn't have them to stop this trend,
I'm sorely afraid that we won't be here to talk
about Jesus Christ and about God and about brotherhood too
many more years.
Speaker 3 (19:27):
If somebody doesn't bring it in to.
Speaker 9 (19:30):
This suicidal thrust that we see in the world today,
none of us are going to be around because somebody
is going to make the mistake, through our senseless blunderings,
of dropping a nuclear bomb somewhere, and then.
Speaker 3 (19:46):
Another one is going to drop.
Speaker 9 (19:47):
And don't let anybody fool you. This can happen within
a matter of seconds. They have twenty megaton bombs in.
Speaker 3 (19:56):
Russia right now that can destroy our cities, biggest New
York in three seconds, with everybody wiped away in every building.
And we can do the same thing to Russian China.
But this is why we are drifted, and we are
drifting there because nations are caught up with the drum
major instinct. I must be first, I must be supreme,
(20:19):
our a nation must rule the world. And I am
sad to say that the nation in which we live
is the supreme culprit. And I'm gonna continue to say
it to America because I love this country too much
to see the drift that it has taken. God didn't
(20:39):
call America to do what she's doing in the world.
Speaker 1 (20:42):
Now, God didn't call America.
Speaker 3 (20:46):
To engage in a senseless, unjust war as a war
in Vietnam, and we are criminals in that war. We
have committed more war crimes almost than any nation in
the world. And I'm going to continue to say it,
and we won't stop it the cost of our pride
and I recon sells the nation. But God has a
(21:07):
way of even putting nations in that place.
Speaker 6 (21:11):
Everybody here, here's the fact of no matter. Doctor Martin
Luther King Junior's speech to drum Major Instinct speech. It
was actually delivered at Ebeneze, a Baptist church in Atlanta, Georgia,
on February fourth, nineteen sixty eight.
Speaker 10 (21:26):
It's time to talk about life insurance. It's one of
those things that everyone should have, and Globe Life makes
it easy with no medical exam, just a simple application
and coverage options up to one hundred thousand dollars. Get
the coverage you need in twenty twenty five. Go online
at globelifradio dot com or call one eight hundred two
(21:48):
five one fifty four hundred to apply in minutes. That's
Globelifradio dot com or one eight hundred two five one
fifty four hundred.
Speaker 8 (21:59):
Welcome back to ther We will continue with more of
doctor King's the drum major instinct speech.
Speaker 9 (22:03):
Nobody is unhappy when they are praised, even if they
know they don't deserve it, and even if they don't
believe it. The only unhappy people about praise is when
that praise is going too much towards somebody else. But
everybody likes to be praised because of this real drum
(22:27):
major instinct. But you know that a lot of the
race problem grows out of the drum major instinct, a need.
Speaker 3 (22:38):
That some people have.
Speaker 11 (22:41):
To feel superior, a need that some people have to
feel that they are first, and to feel that their
white skin ordain.
Speaker 3 (22:53):
Them to be first. They have said over and over.
Speaker 1 (23:00):
The game in ways that we see with our own eyes.
Speaker 9 (23:07):
In fact, not too long ago, a man down in
Mississippi said that God was a charter member of the
White Citizens' Council, and so God being the charter member
means that everybody who's in that has a kind of divinity,
(23:29):
a kind of superiority. And think of what has happened
in historism as a result, this perverted use of the
drum made instinct led to the most tragic prejudice, the
most tragic expressions of.
Speaker 1 (23:45):
Man's in humanity to man.
Speaker 9 (23:49):
And not only does this thing go into the racial struggle,
goes into the struggle between nations. And I would submit
to you this morning that what is wrong in the
world today is that the nations of the world engaged
in a bitter, colossal contest for supremacy. And if some
(24:11):
doesn't have them to stop this trend, I'm sorely afraid
that we won't be here to talk about Jesus Christ
and about God and about brotherhood too many more years.
If somebody donet bringing in to this suicidal thrust that
(24:32):
we see in the world today, none of us.
Speaker 1 (24:36):
Are going to be around because.
Speaker 9 (24:38):
Somebody is going to make the mistake through our senseless blunderings,
of dropping a nuclear bomb somewhere, and then another one
is going to drop. And don't let anybody fool you,
this can happen within a matter of second. They have
twenty megapron bombs in.
Speaker 3 (24:56):
Russia right now that can destroy our city, biggest New
York in three seconds, with everybody wiped away in every building,
and we can do the same thing to Russian China.
But this is why we are drifted, and we are
drifting there because nations are caught up with the drum
major instinct. I must be first, I must be supreme.
(25:19):
Our a nation must rule the world.
Speaker 9 (25:22):
And I am sad to say that the nation in
which we live is the supreme culprit. And I'm gonna
continue to say it to America because I love.
Speaker 3 (25:34):
This country too much to see the drift that it
has taken. God didn't call America to do what she's
doing in the world now.
Speaker 1 (25:45):
God didn't call America.
Speaker 3 (25:47):
To engage in a senseless, unjust war as a war
in Vietnam, and we are criminals in that war. We
have committed more war crimes almost than any nation in
the world. And I'm gonna continue to say it, and
we won't.
Speaker 1 (26:02):
Stop it because of our pride.
Speaker 3 (26:05):
And I a regon says a nation. But God has
a way of even putting nations in that place. God
that I worship has a way of saying, don't play
with me. He has a way of saying.
Speaker 9 (26:22):
He's a God of the Old Testament used to say
him the Hebrews don't play with me, Israel, don't play
with me battling, be stealing.
Speaker 1 (26:33):
Know that I'm God.
Speaker 3 (26:36):
If you don't stuck your reckless course, I'll rise up.
Speaker 1 (26:40):
And break the backbone of your power.
Speaker 3 (26:44):
That can happen to America. Every now and then I
go back and read Gibbons Decline and Fall of the
Roman Empire.
Speaker 1 (26:52):
And when I come and look.
Speaker 9 (26:54):
At America, I say to myself, the parallels are frightening.
We have perverted the drum maid's instinct. Every nine then
I guess we all think realistically about that day when
we will be victimized with what is life's final common denominator.
(27:20):
That's something we call death. We all think about it.
And every nine and then I think about my own death,
and I think about my own funeral, and I don't
think of it in a morbid sense. Every nine then
I ask myself what is it that I would want say?
(27:44):
And I leave the word to you this morning, if
any of you around when I have to.
Speaker 3 (27:51):
Meet my day, I don't want a long funeral. And
if you get somebody to deliver the ulitity, tell them
not to talk too long. And every nine and then
I wonder what I want him to say? Tell them
not to mintion that I have a nobel peace pride.
Speaker 2 (28:08):
That isn't important.
Speaker 3 (28:10):
Tell them not to mention that I have three or
four hundred other awards, that's not important. Tell them not
to mention where I went to school. I like somebody to.
Speaker 1 (28:21):
Mention that day, then Martin Luthor King Junior tried to give.
Speaker 3 (28:27):
His life serving others. I'd like for somebody to say
that day that Martin Luther King Junior tried to love somebody.
I want you to say that day that I tried
to be right on the work question. I want you
to be able to say that day that I did
try to feed the homengrad. I want you to be
(28:50):
able to say that day that I did try in
my life to call those who were nicked. I want
you to say on that day that I did try
in my life to visit thors who were in prison.
I want you to say that I tried to love
and serve humanity.
Speaker 9 (29:10):
Yes, if you want to say that I was a
drum major, say that I was a drum major for justice,
Say that I was a drum major for peace. I
was a drum major for righteousness, and all of the
other shallow things will nothing matter. I won't have any
money to leave behind, I won't have the fine and.
Speaker 3 (29:33):
Luxurious things of life to leave behind. But I just
want to leave or committed life behind. And that's all
I want to say. If I can help somebody as
I pass along, if I can cheer somebody with a
word song, if I can show somebody he's traveling wrong,
(29:54):
then my living will not be invaded.
Speaker 9 (29:58):
If I can do my dude, he has a Christian alt.
If I can bring salvation to a wall once rot,
if I can spread the message as the Master talk,
then my living will.
Speaker 2 (30:13):
Not be in vain.
Speaker 10 (30:15):
You're listening Steve Harvey Morning Show. Today's MLK Day. It
is a day of service. Reverend doctor Martin Luther King,
Junior devote in his life to service and fighting for
civil rights and freedom. Doctor King had a pursuit for racial, social,
and economic justice. And Steve, I got to ask you
(30:37):
this question. You know you talk about this a lot.
You talked about it earlier this morning. You've been through
a lot growing up. So how have you learned to
deal with racism? How have you dealt with it?
Speaker 6 (30:51):
I mean, look, I mean pretty much like most people.
I mean I'm angry about it. I don't understand what's
taking in so long. It just it doesn't make any
sense to me. It's it's actually pathetic. Why is it
that people of color are still asking for equality, which
(31:12):
seems like we're asking it from from from somebody that's
not willing to give it. I mean, it's just obviously
that there are people who are set in their ways,
and it's frustrating now we Even with that said, I
have devoted myself to being the best person that I
(31:32):
can be to elevate myself as high as I can,
but not only elevate myself, stick my hand back down
the wall and bring up as many people as I can,
thus my foundation, thus my ranch, thus me trying to
promote young people, thus helping people. I'm constantly looking for
(31:52):
ways to uplift the the the oppressed, the downtrodden people.
And that carries over into all people too. And that's
what's been crazy about it.
Speaker 1 (32:04):
Man.
Speaker 2 (32:05):
I'm willing to help all people.
Speaker 6 (32:08):
Now, Do I have a special affinity and do I
target mostly people of color?
Speaker 2 (32:15):
Yeah? Yeah, do that.
Speaker 6 (32:17):
And I was talking to one guy one day and
he said, well, how can you just target them? I said, well,
that's where I see the most need. I see the
most need in people of color and oppressed people. So
I'm targeting my efforts. I said, you know, look, it's
all types of people come to the camp. Anybody can
(32:38):
come to the camp. Asians are pressed, they walk them
at the camp. All Latinos come to my camp. I
got white kids come to the camp. Yeah, you know,
I got all of them. Diversity, But you know do
you can't get mad at me because I know where
the greater need is and I can see it more.
(33:01):
And it's my obligation because if the government not gonna
do it, and they're trying to cut state funding and
they're not gonna do it, well, let's just look at
this right here. For example, let's just look at the
education disparity in this country. Why do we have an
educational disparity? Because the money on the federal level that
(33:21):
we pay in taxes, and we pay state taxes, local taxes,
it all goes into a fund. Now, the areas that
pay the most funds into the state taxes or the
federal taxes are the places that receive the most money back.
Poor places are not gonna have as big a pool
to pick from so poor places stay behind the eight ball.
(33:46):
It's the system they set up. See, they set that
system up, not me. So what should be happening is
we should as a country make sure that all people
have access to a quality education and a free education.
And that ain't the American way. That ain't the American way.
(34:08):
But that's why we're losing education wise on a global
level because other countries they don't they don't do it
that way. We should all be able to. We make
enough money in this country where everybody should get free
medical there's a business we don't get that.
Speaker 5 (34:27):
Right.
Speaker 2 (34:27):
But this is the system they set up. And the
system is not set up.
Speaker 6 (34:31):
And targeted for the underprivileged or the oppressed mm hm,
or the less fortunate, that's right, Steve.
Speaker 2 (34:38):
So it's not set up that way.
Speaker 6 (34:40):
So my obligation and my foundation is fun the less fortunate,
the oppressed, the down trodden, and I go out of
my way to see that that happens. But you know,
we're gonna win. It's just sad that it's taken so
damn long, and it pisses you off. And I would
say this to anybody who is not of color, how
(35:03):
long would you like to wait to be treated equal?
How much time you want to devote to same treatment,
equal pay, fairness in housing? How would you like it
if every time you cut on the news the police
was shooting somebody who.
Speaker 2 (35:24):
Looked like you?
Speaker 6 (35:26):
How long? How long you want to wait? I mean,
I'm listening. It can't be much. And I don't know
the white lady's name that ask that famous question to
a room full of white people, who in here would
be willing to trade places with black people who not
a hand?
Speaker 1 (35:42):
Was that Jane Elliott? Jane, I think so, Jane Elliott?
Speaker 6 (35:48):
And she says, because you know that they are being
treated unfairly, but that nobody's doing anything about it. So
we have to do as ourselves. We have to do
this ourselves. We have to keep picking ourselves up. That
old pull yourself up by the bootstraps. Yeah, that's cool,
except a lot of people don't have the boots or
(36:10):
the straps. So you got to keep the faith, and
we got to reach back and we got to help
as many as we can.
Speaker 10 (36:16):
And it's so interesting that you asked the question, Steve,
how long, because as we celebrate doctor Martin Luther King
that was in the sixties, that was in the sixties.
Speaker 2 (36:26):
I ain't patient.
Speaker 6 (36:28):
I'm a lot of patients. I'm done with you talking
about waiting. I ain't waiting no more. See, people don't
hit the wall now. People, whether you ain't gonna know me,
we're gonna take it exacting exhausted.
Speaker 2 (36:40):
I'm overwhelmed.
Speaker 6 (36:41):
I'm sick and tired of it, and we are people
of color are sick and tired of it.
Speaker 2 (36:49):
And you would be too if it was happening to you.
But it ain't happening to you, so you ain't got
nothing to be sick and tired of.
Speaker 10 (36:54):
That's ng and we'll have more of the Steve Harvey
Morning Show as we celebrate the life and legacy of
doctor Martin Luther King Junior. Right after this, you're listening
the same Harday Morning Show. It's time to talk about

back which has turned into oarth writers. And they tell
me it's gonna get increasingly worse. But I don't claim
that I'm gonna get that heel because I know God,
and you know, I'm doing stretching and stuff. So it
bothers me sometimes, but nothing debilitating, So I don't worry
about that. Other than that, my health is really really good.
(39:30):

I know what's wrong with you to swear out here
in that damn hull.
Speaker 3 (40:34):
Yeah.
Speaker 6 (40:35):
See, he said, if you like you've been flipping briskeys
but with a dinner for you know, ain't no leverage.
You got to have strong ass, had strong hold a
whole pork butter and flip it with a fuck flip.
Speaker 2 (40:49):
Yeah.
Speaker 10 (40:51):
All right, coming up, we'll have more of the Steve
Harvey Morning Show on this King Holiday.
Speaker 12 (40:56):
Right after this, you're.
Speaker 1 (40:58):
Listening Steve Harvey Moore showing the late great civil Rights Icon.
Speaker 10 (41:05):
State Representative John Lewis spoke at the March on Washington
back in nineteen sixty three, and then he spoke at
the fiftieth anniversary March on Washington back in two thy fifteen.
Speaker 1 (41:17):
Take a listen.
Speaker 14 (41:19):
Fifty years ago, fifty years ago, I stood right here
in this spot, twenty three years old, had all of
my hair and a few finals light. So I come
back here again to said, at those days, for the
(41:42):
most part, are gone. But we have another fight. We
must stand up and fight the good fight as we
march today. But they are forces, they are people who
want to take us back. We cannot go back. We
come too far.
Speaker 3 (42:02):
We want to go forward.
Speaker 14 (42:06):
Back In nineteen sixty three, hundreds and thousand a million
of our brothers and sisters could not registered to vote.
When I stood here fifty years ago, I said, one man,
one vote is African crime.
Speaker 2 (42:22):
It is ours too.
Speaker 3 (42:24):
It must be ours.
Speaker 14 (42:25):
I also said, some people tell us to wait, tell
us to be patient. I said fifty years later, we
cannot wait. We cannot be patient. We want jobs and
we want our freedom now, all of us. It doesn't
matter whether we're black or white. Let you know, Asian America,
(42:49):
a Native American. It doesn't matter whether we're straight, Agay,
we're wan people. We are one family, we'll one house.
We all live in the same house. So I said
to you my brothers and sisters. We cannot give up.
We cannot give out, We cannot give in. We must
(43:14):
get out there and push and pull. Now, I a
few short years ago, almost forty eight years ago, well
forty years ago, almost fifty years ago, I gave a
little blood on that bridge instell my Alabama for the
right to vote.
Speaker 3 (43:32):
I am not gonna stand.
Speaker 14 (43:34):
By and let the Supreme Court take the right.
Speaker 3 (43:37):
To vote away from us.
Speaker 14 (43:42):
You cannot stand by, you cannot sit down. You got
to stand up, speak up, speak out, and get in
a way, make some noise. The vote is precious, it
(44:03):
is almost sacred. It is the most powerful, non violent
tool we have in a democratic society, and we got
to use it. Back in nineteen sixty three. We hadn't
heard of the internet. We didn't have to sell your telephone,
iPad our part. But we used what we had to
(44:26):
bring about a non violent revolution. And I said to
all of the young people, you must get out there
and push and pull and make America what America should
be for all of us. We must set to the
Congress fix the voting right site. We must set to
(44:49):
the Congress pass comprehension immigration reform. It doesn't make sense
that million of our people are living in the shadow.
Bring them out into the light and set them on
a path to citizenship.
Speaker 1 (45:05):
So hang in there, keep the faith.
Speaker 14 (45:09):
I got arrested forty times during the sixth disc beat
the left bloody and unconscious.
Speaker 1 (45:16):
But I'm not tied.
Speaker 3 (45:18):
I'm not weary.
Speaker 14 (45:19):
I'm not prepared to sit down and give up and
read at a fight and continue to fight.
Speaker 3 (45:26):
And you must fight, thank you very much.
Speaker 6 (45:30):
I have a dream that this great country of America
continues to be the country of opportunity, the greatest country
in all the world, that all people will live up
to His creed and have a life of prosperity and
enjoyment and happiness that's entitled to all of us as
Americans and citizens of this great country. That's what I
dream about, and I shore hope it comes true.
Speaker 1 (45:53):
You're listening to the Steve Harvey Morning Show.
Speaker 10 (45:56):
Happy MLKJ, Today's MLKJ and Inauguration Day.

respect him as the new president.
Speaker 2 (46:20):
And it is what it is. Let's see what he do.
I know one thing I ain't expected a damn thing.
Speaker 10 (46:30):
Well, you know, now, more than ever, we should make
it a purpose to live out Doctor King's legacy. President
Biden and Vice President Kamala Harris administration, Uh, they were
dedicated to democracy and freedom. However, today President elect Trump
will take the presidential oath of office during inauguration day ceremonies,
which traditionally includes a procession to the capital by the
(46:54):
outgoing and incoming administrations. Remember, President elect Donald Trump is
preparing for one hundred executive orders starting on day one
in the new White House, including.
Speaker 12 (47:04):
Border security, deportations.
Speaker 10 (47:07):
Canada and China with import tariffs, and pardoning January sixth
rioters and rolling back many of the Biden administration executive
orders while putting his own proposals in place.
Speaker 12 (47:19):
All right, remember Projects twenty twenty five.
Speaker 2 (47:21):
So here you know what that means?
Speaker 3 (47:23):
What?
Speaker 2 (47:23):
Okay, go ahead, I'm sorry, go ahead.
Speaker 12 (47:25):
Here's a question.

Yeah, how do you guys feel about Trump and his
Vice President elect JD.

but it ain't gonna be good for you.
Speaker 2 (48:03):

so now you can expect that. Y'all can stop expecting
your life to get better under Trump, because it's not.
Rich are going It's gonna be great again for rich people.
Rich people are going to benefit. I'm telling you right
(48:28):

I get the news, I'm gonna give you the news
so you can understand what's really going on.
Speaker 2 (48:39):

you you was gonna here? He was down there in
Chicago and put his foot in his mouth. You don't

all we get.
Speaker 1 (49:40):

Speaker 2 (49:46):
America?

Yeah?
Speaker 1 (49:47):
Why is that?
Speaker 6 (49:48):
I'd have been down there. I ain't trying to call
nobody out, but I'd have been to Biloxi, Corpus Christian
and all I've seen that little money at Walter. I'm
not even getting in it. He ain't got to call
that the golf man. He can keep it the golf
from Mexico.
Speaker 1 (50:01):
Why is that anything I don't even know why that.
You just say anything again. Then he wants to buy Canada, I.
Speaker 3 (50:16):

So yeah, and I think they're gonna swear him in
around what news.
Speaker 2 (50:54):
It ain't gonna be on b T your own I'll
tell you.
Speaker 14 (50:57):
That, right.
Speaker 1 (51:01):
But like said, he's a president.

Bounce, respect the office the president, fire of the presidency.
Speaker 12 (51:08):
And that's the you know, Happy MLK Day. We know
what MLK meant to us. This is his birthday. We're
celebrating that.
Speaker 10 (51:16):
Not just a day off, it's a day on if
you can do some community service, do something.
Speaker 12 (51:21):
Today, you know, that's what today is all about. MLK Day.
Speaker 4 (51:25):
Absolutely, it won't be on I'll tell you that you're
going through the channel. It won't be televised. But like
I'm saying, surely it's a day on service.
Speaker 1 (51:40):
Yeah, a day of service.
Speaker 4 (51:42):
And I think this year, all of the natural disasters,
the fires, you know, all of these things, you all
can volunteer and help your community.
Speaker 1 (51:50):
I mean, you still need to help people in LA.
Speaker 4 (51:53):
So you got to take a look around, roll your
sleeves up, and despite what's going on, you to help something.
Speaker 1 (52:01):
You've got to remember, right, his legacy, King's legacy.
Speaker 12 (52:05):
To that, what he meant to us, you know when
he worked so hard for, you know what he marched for.
You know what those boycotts were all about, all of that.
Speaker 4 (52:14):
So do you feel like, do you guys feel like
today we know what's getting ready to happen at the inauguration,
like Steve said, is on every channel.
Speaker 1 (52:25):
Do you all feel like it's we're kind of going
backwards a little bit?
Speaker 2 (52:29):
We've gone.
Speaker 6 (52:30):
He told me he was gonna make America great again,
make America great again for who.
Speaker 2 (52:36):
He's doing what he said he's gonna do.
Speaker 6 (52:40):
I'm not listen, I'm not banking on nothing working out here.
He said nothing in his campaign that would make me
think it's gonna be better for my people. And and
y'all didn't did They didn't see it? So now all y'all,
if that was some blacks for Trump.
Speaker 2 (53:00):
Okay, here you go.
Speaker 1 (53:02):
And there were Yeah, here you go.
Speaker 6 (53:04):
It ain't no problem Trump my man, Okay, cool, cool,
you're finish, find out how your man feel about you.
You're not finna get a damn thing because he ain't
got to set itself up a reelection. He's really going
to do just what he want to do. He's gonna
fix it for himself and for when he leave office.
(53:25):
That's what he's fixing it up for. He's not gonna
make America to be in a better position when he leaves.
Speaker 3 (53:32):
No man.
Speaker 6 (53:33):
And what you're about to see next is the next
presidential candidate from the Republican Party will be a mirror
of Donald Trump because he has hijacked the party and
he has now made it the way that the politics
is done. Lies, fake news is forever now. Fake news
is forever of going against election. That's forever now.
Speaker 1 (53:57):
Everybody on use if the results aren't the way you.
Speaker 2 (54:02):
Everybody this game on now.
Speaker 6 (54:04):
He has made a new blueprint for how to do
politics in the Republican Party. And the Democratic Party is
in trouble because we always reacting to them.
Speaker 2 (54:14):
We don't know how to play the game.
Speaker 6 (54:16):
I'm so ashamed of calling myself a damn Democrat that
I'm not calling myself a Democrat.
Speaker 2 (54:22):
No, damn more. I'm a voter, That's all I am.
Speaker 3 (54:25):
You're a voter.

with y'all weak ass policies and all this here, and y'all, y'all,
y'all ain't you ain't standing for nothing.
Speaker 2 (54:35):
And then the Republican Party really ain't standing for nothing.
Speaker 6 (54:38):
They stand on that moral conviction and stuff which got
people twisted, but they use the morality clause to really
do the money power move, which is what they're trying
to do. They don't care nothing about that other stuff
y'all talking about making that issue.
Speaker 2 (54:54):
I'm just I'm sorry. I'm just ready. What is Tim
Scott finn to do for the next four years? I

God once more for allowing me to be here with you.
You know, several years ago, I was in New York
City autographing the first book that I had written. While
sitting the autographing books, the minute black woman came up.
(56:43):
The only question I heard from her was you Martin
Luther King, and I was looking down writing and I
said yes. The next minute I felt something beating on
my chest. Before I knew it, I had been stabbed
by this deminted woman. I was rushed to Hulem Hospital.
It was a dog Saturday afternoon. That blade had gone through,
(57:08):
and the X rays revealed that the tip of the
blade was on the edge of my order the main
ottery and one that's puncture. You drowned in your own blood.
That's the end of you. It came out in the
New York Times the next morning that if I had
merely sneezed, I would have died. Well. About four days later,
(57:30):
they allowed me after the operation, after my chest had
been opening, the blade had been taken out, to move
around in the wheelchair the hospital. They allowed me to
read some of the mail that came in, and from
all over the states and the world. Kind letters came in.
I read a few, but one of them I will
(57:52):
never forget. I had received one from the President and
the Vice President. I've forgotten what those telegrams said. I
received the visit and a letter from the Governor of
New York, but I've forgotten what that letter say it
But there was another letter. It came from a little girl,
a young girl who was a student at the White
(58:15):
Planes High School. And I looked at that letter and
I'll never forget it. Say it simply, dear Doctor King,
I am a ninth grade student at the White Planes
High School. She said. While it should not matter, I
would like to mention that I'm.
Speaker 1 (58:32):
A white girl.
Speaker 9 (58:33):
I read in the paper of your misfortune and of
your suffering, and I read that if you had sneezed,
you would have died. I'm simply writing you to say
that I'm so happy that you.
Speaker 3 (58:48):
Didn't sneeze, and I want to say the night. I
want to say the night that I too, am happy
that I didn't sneeze, because if I had sneezed, I
wouldn't have been around here. Nineteen sixty when students all
over the South started sitting in at lunch counties, and
I knew that as a was sitting in, they were
(59:09):
really standing up for the best in the American dream
and taking the whole nation back to those great wells
of democracy which were dug deep by the founding fathers
in the Declaration of Independence and the Constitution. If I
had sneezed, I wouldn't have been around here in nineteen
sixty one when we decided to take a ride for
(59:30):
freedom an ended segregation in interstate travel. If I had sneezed,
I wouldn't have been around here in nineteen sixty two
when Negroes and all been at Georgia decided to straighten.
Speaker 1 (59:45):
That box up.
Speaker 3 (59:46):
And when other men and women straighten that box up,
they are going somewhere, because a man can't roger.
Speaker 1 (59:52):
Back unless it is bent.
Speaker 3 (59:54):
If I had sneezed, I had sneezed, I wouldn't have
been here in nineteen sixty three, the black people of Birmingham,
Alabama aroused the conscience of this nation and brought into
being the Civil Rights Bill. If I had sneeze, I
(01:00:14):
wouldn't have had a chance later that year, in August
to try to tell America about a dream that I
had had. If I had sneeze, I wouldn't have been
down in Selma, Alabama to see the great movement there.
If I had sneeze, I wouldn't have been in Memphis
(01:00:35):
to see a community run around those brothers and sisters
who are suffering. I'm so happy that I didn't sneez,
and they were telling them, now, it doesn't matter now,
it really doesn't matter what happens now. I left Atlanta
this morning and as we got started on the plane
(01:00:56):
that was six of us, the pilot said over the
public address system, we're sorref for the delay, but we
have Dr Martin Luther King on the plane and to
be sure that all of the bags were checked and
to be sure that nothing would be wrong on the plane.
(01:01:18):
We had to check out everything carefully, and.
Speaker 9 (01:01:21):
We've had the plane protected and guard it all night.
Speaker 3 (01:01:26):
Then I got into Memphis and some began to say
the threats I talk about the threats that were out
of what would happen to me from some of our
sick white brothers. Well, I don't know what will happen now.
We've got some difficult days ahead, but it really doesn't
(01:01:49):
matter with me now because I've been to the mountaintop.
I don't know, like anybody, I would like to live
a long life, long kevity has its place, but I'm
not concerned about that now. I just want to do God's.
Speaker 1 (01:02:08):
Will, and He's allowed me.
Speaker 12 (01:02:12):
To go up to the mountain, and I've looked over.
Speaker 1 (01:02:17):
And I've seen.
Speaker 3 (01:02:19):
The Promised Land. I may not get that with you,
but I want you to know the night that we
as a people will get to the Promised Land.
Speaker 1 (01:02:32):
So I'm happy tonight. I'm not worried about anything. I'm
not feeling in a man.
Speaker 3 (01:02:38):
Myne eyes have seen the glory on the coming of
the Lord.
Speaker 1 (01:02:42):

Speaker 6 (01:03:19):
Coming up, we're going to play some excerpts from doctor
King's I Have a Dream speech.
Speaker 3 (01:03:26):
I am happy to john with you today in what
we'll go down in history as the greatest demonstration for
freedom in the history.
Speaker 1 (01:03:40):
Of our nation.
Speaker 3 (01:03:47):
Five score years ago, a great American in whose symbolic
shadow we stand today, signed the Emancipation Proclamation. This momentous
decree came as a great beacon light of hope to
millions of Negro slaves who had been seared in the
(01:04:11):
flames of withering injustice. It came as a joyous daybreak
to end the long night of their captivity. But one
hundred years later, the Negro steal is not free.
Speaker 1 (01:04:31):
One hundred years.
Speaker 3 (01:04:32):
Later, the life of the negro is still sadly crippled
by the manacles of segregation and the chains of discrimination.
Speaker 9 (01:04:43):
One hundred years.
Speaker 3 (01:04:44):
Later, the negro lives on a lonely island of poverty
in the midst of a vast ocean of material prosperity.
One hundred years later, the negro is still languished in
the corners of American society and finds himself in exile.
Speaker 1 (01:05:08):
In his own land.
Speaker 3 (01:05:11):
So we've come here today to dramatize a shameful condition.
In a sense, we've come to our nation's capital to
catch a check. When the architects of our Republic wrote
the magnificent words of the Constitution and the Declaration of Independence,
(01:05:35):
they were signing a promise or a note to whichever
American was to fall out. This note was a promise
in all men, yes, black men as well as white men,
would be guaranteed the unalienable rights of life, liberty, and
(01:05:58):
the pursuit of happiness. It is obvious today that America
has defaulted on this promisory note in so far as
her citizens of color are concerned. Instead of honoring this
sacred obligation, America has given the Negro people a bad check,
(01:06:23):
a check which has come back to mark insufficient funds.
Speaker 1 (01:06:32):
But we refuse to believe that.
Speaker 3 (01:06:34):
The bank of justice is bakra. Refuse to believe that
that are insufficient funds in the great faults of opportunity
of this nation. So we've come to cash this check,
a check that will give us the pun demand, the
riches of freedom and the security of justice. We have
(01:07:04):
also come to this hallid spot to remind America of
the fierce urgency of now.
Speaker 2 (01:07:13):
This is no time.
Speaker 3 (01:07:15):
To engage in the luxury of cooling off or to
take the tranquilizing drug of gradualism. Now is the time
to make real the promises of democracy. Now is the
(01:07:36):
time the rise from the dark and desolate valley of
segregation to the sunlit path of racial justice.
Speaker 4 (01:07:44):
Now is the time.
Speaker 3 (01:07:50):
From the quick sands of racial injustice to the solid
rock of brotherhood. Now is the time, the reality for
all of God's till it would be fatal for the
nation to overlook the urgency of the moment. This sweltering
(01:08:14):
summit of the negro's legitimate discontent will not pass until
that is an invigorating ultumn of freedom and equality. Nineteen
sixty three is not an end, but a beginning.
Speaker 1 (01:08:30):
Those who hope that the Negro needed.
Speaker 3 (01:08:33):
To blow off steam and will now be content will
have a rude awakening. If the nation returns to business
as usual, there will be neither rest nor tranquility in
America until the Negro has granted his citizenship rights. The
(01:08:58):
whirlwinds are revolt will continue to shake the foundations of
our nation until the bright day of justice emerges.
Speaker 1 (01:09:07):
But that is something that I.
Speaker 3 (01:09:09):
Must say to my people who stand on the warm
threshold which leads into the palace of justice. In the
process of gaining our rightful place, we must not be
guilty or wrong for deeds. Let us not seek to
satisfy our first for freedom by drinking from the cup
(01:09:30):
of bitterness and hatred.
Speaker 1 (01:09:39):
You're listening to the Steve Harvey Morning Show.
Speaker 6 (01:09:44):
Did you know you could now buy a Hondai on Amazon,
the same place where you order yoga mats, a toothbrush,
and pretty much everything else, all from the comfort of
your home, just located nearby dealer. Pick your color, your options,
check the price, and with it's a few dotting of
some eyes and crosses some tea's walla, your Hondai is
(01:10:05):
ready for pickup.
Speaker 1 (01:10:06):
It's that easy.
Speaker 8 (01:10:08):
Visit Honda USA dot com for more details. Limited availability
pickup through participating Hondai dealers and select markets.
Speaker 6 (01:10:15):
Right now, I asked, promise, we're gonna play some of
doctor King's I have a Dream speech, which he delivered
on the steps of the Lincoln Memorial back in nineteen
sixty three.
Speaker 3 (01:10:24):
One day, right now in Alabama, little black bars and
black girls, we'll be able to join hands with little
white bars and white girls as sisters and brothers.
Speaker 1 (01:10:34):
I have a dream today.
Speaker 3 (01:10:38):
I have a dream that one day every valance shall
be exulted, Every hill and mountain shall be made low,
the rough places will be made faint, and the crooked
places will be made straight, and the core of the
love shall be revealed in all flesh shall see it together.
Speaker 1 (01:10:56):
This is our hope.
Speaker 3 (01:10:58):
This is the peace that I go back to the
South with. With this faith, we will be able to
hew out of the mountain of despair a stone of hope.
With this faith, we will be able to transform the
jangling discords of our nation into a beautiful symphony of brotherhood.
(01:11:18):
With this faith, we will be able to work together,
to pray together, to struggle together, to go to jail together,
to stand up for freedom together, knowing that.
Speaker 1 (01:11:30):
We will be free.
Speaker 5 (01:11:31):
One day.
Speaker 1 (01:11:34):
We day, This will be the day.
Speaker 3 (01:11:38):
When all the gods child, we will be able to
sing with new meaning. My country tears the we land
of liberty of bi sing Land, where my father's died,
Land of the Pilgrims. Frye from every mountain side.
Speaker 1 (01:11:58):
Let freedom ring in.
Speaker 3 (01:11:59):
For America's to be a great nation, this must become true.
So let freedom ring from the prodigious hilltops of New Hampshire.
Let freedom ring from the mighty mountains of New York.
Let freedom ring from the heightening allegators of Pennsylvania. Might
let freedom ring from the snow cap arcis of Colorado.
(01:12:23):
Let freedom ring from the curbation of slopes of California.
But not only that. Let freedom ring from stone mountain
of Georgia. Let freedom ring from lookout mountain of Tennessee.
That freedom ring from every hill and mole hill of Mississippi,
(01:12:45):
from every mountainside.
Speaker 4 (01:12:48):
Then freedom ring.
Speaker 5 (01:12:49):
And when that happens, when we allow freedom ring, when
rented a ring from every village and every hamlet, from
average state and every city, we will be able to
speed up that day.
Speaker 3 (01:13:06):
We're all about children, black men and white men, Jews
and tent Poles, Protestants and Catholic we'll be able to
join hands and sing in the words of the old
Negro spiritual pre ad last were free ad last, Thank
quo minter.
Speaker 10 (01:13:24):
Real, you'll be back. You're listening to the Steve Harvey
Morning Show. Today's MLK Day. It is a day of service.
Reverend doctor Martin Luther King Junior devoted his life to
service and fighting for civil rights and freedom. Doctor King
had a pursuit for racial, social and economic justice.
Speaker 1 (01:13:45):
And Steve, I gotta ask you this question.
Speaker 10 (01:13:48):
You know you talk about this a lot, you talked
about it earlier this morning. You've been through a lot
growing up, So how have you learned to deal with racism?
How how have you dealt with it?
Speaker 6 (01:14:00):
I mean, look, I mean pretty much like most people.
I mean, I'm angry about it. I don't understand what's
taking so long. It doesn't make any sense to me.
It's actually pathetic. Why is it that people of color
are still asking for equality, which seems like we're asking
(01:14:20):
it from from somebody that's not willing to give it.
I mean, it's just obviously that there are people who
are set in their ways, and it's frustrating. Now we
Even with that said, I have devoted myself to being
the best person that I can be, to elevate myself
as high as I can, but not only elevate myself,
(01:14:43):
stick my hand back down the wall and bring up
as many people as I can, thus my foundation, thus
my ranch, thus me trying to promote young people, thus
helping people. I'm constantly looking for ways to uplift the
the the oppressed, the downtrodden people, and and that carries
(01:15:05):
over into all people too.
Speaker 2 (01:15:07):
And that's what's been crazy about it.
Speaker 4 (01:15:09):
Man.
Speaker 2 (01:15:10):
I'm willing to help allop.
Speaker 6 (01:15:13):
Now, do I have a special affinity and do I
target mostly U people of color?
Speaker 2 (01:15:20):
Yeah? Yeah, I do that.
Speaker 6 (01:15:22):
And I was talking to one guy one day and
he said, well, how can you just target them? I said,
well that's where I see the most need. I see
the most need in people of color and oppressed people.
So I'm targeting my efforts. I said, you know, look,
it's all types of people come to the camp. Anybody
(01:15:43):
can come to the camp. And Asians are oppressed, they
walcome at the camp. All Latinos come to my camp.
They I got white kids come to the camp.
Speaker 1 (01:15:51):
You know, I got all of them diversity.
Speaker 6 (01:15:55):
But you know, do you can't get mad at me
because I know where the greater need is and I
can see it more obviously, and it's my obligation because
if the government not gonna do it, well, let's just
look at this right here. For example, let's just look
at the education disparity in this country. Why do we
have an educational disparity? Because the money on the federal
(01:16:19):
level that we pay in taxes, and we pay state taxes,
local taxes, it all goes into a fund. Now, the
areas that pay the most funds into the state taxes
or the federal taxes are the places that receive the
most money back. Poor places are not gonna have as
big a pool to pick from, so poor places stay
(01:16:43):
behind the eight ball.
Speaker 2 (01:16:44):
It's the system they set up. See, they set that
system up, not me.
Speaker 6 (01:16:51):
So what should be happening is we should as a
country make sure that all people have access to a
quality education, free education. N That ain't the American way.
That ain't the American way. But that's why we're losing
education wise on the global level because other countries they don't.
Speaker 2 (01:17:12):
They don't do it that way.
Speaker 6 (01:17:14):
We should all be able to we make enough money
in this country where everybody should get free medical there's
a business we don't get that. Yeah, so you know, right,
but this is the system they set up. And the
system is not set up and targeted for the underprivileged or.
Speaker 1 (01:17:32):
The oppressed or the less fortunate. That's right.
Speaker 2 (01:17:36):
So it's not set up that way.
Speaker 6 (01:17:37):
So my obligation and my foundation is for the less fortunate,
the oppressed, the down try and I go out of
my way to see that that happens.
Speaker 2 (01:17:46):
But you know, we're gonna win. It's just sad that
it's taken so damn long, and it pisses you off.
Speaker 6 (01:17:54):
And I would say this to anybody who is not
of color. Howl would you like to wait to be
treated equal.
Speaker 10 (01:18:05):
That's right, are And we'll have more of a Steve
Harvey Morning Show as we celebrate the life and legacy
of doctor Martin Luther King Jr.
Speaker 1 (01:18:11):

me sometimes, but nothing debilitated, So I don't worry about that.

Don't trip. He ain't through with me yet. At Bishop
Tdjke's megafest. This was back in two thousand and six.
People still love it.
Speaker 2 (01:24:44):
I know the exact year. And I stopped going to hell.
Speaker 1 (01:24:47):
Well that's a good thing.
Speaker 6 (01:24:49):
Yeah, two thousand and five, two thousand and six, pout
ride two thousand and seven.
Speaker 2 (01:24:54):
When I really put the brakes on it.
Speaker 6 (01:24:55):
But yeah, I was full blast all the way up
to two thousand five, full blast.
Speaker 1 (01:25:01):
It's a little rocking, rocking boosts, just going.
Speaker 2 (01:25:06):
Commit it, yeah, man.
Speaker 1 (01:25:11):
And then Bishop called you and you too, and you know,
and he called me.
Speaker 6 (01:25:15):
And asked me, and I told him. I said, now
let me think about it. And then I told him
finally about the third costly picture. I said, I can't
do it, man, I said, proud you're asking me that.
That's a whole hour the church people ain't going did
deal with me, He said, Hey, man, I know you,
he said.
Speaker 2 (01:25:33):
But better than that, God know your heart. He said,
you good brother man, you could do it. Come on,
do this all right, man, I do it good. I'mna
put you down and put you.
Speaker 1 (01:25:42):
On the where I good and you committed.
Speaker 2 (01:25:45):
He was done with it.
Speaker 6 (01:25:46):
He didn't know what he had threw me into. Because
let me tell you something, man, I had to go right,
don't trip. He ain't through me yet. There's a whole
special I wrote. I had to go write that special.
There wasn't jokes. I was doing one on the road.
N I had to write that special. I had to
go write that. I had to go put this church
(01:26:07):
stuff together. It was probably the easiest hardest set I've
ever written because I grew up in the church, so
I knew a lot of church stuff.
Speaker 2 (01:26:18):
I did not think that the church.
Speaker 6 (01:26:21):
Folks was gonna accept it because I was gonna have
to talk about it. I was gonna have to talk
about the people that they let read announcements. You know,
the first thing about read announcements. Reading is fundamental. You
can't put the ignorant people shouldn't be reading.
Speaker 1 (01:26:36):
Announcements at the church.
Speaker 6 (01:26:41):
I just it's just a lot of stuff I knew
calling the past about every little thing I just I said.
And then stuff that I knew, how the choir saying,
who in the choir?
Speaker 5 (01:26:54):
You know?
Speaker 2 (01:26:55):
Stuff you can't do no more?
Speaker 1 (01:26:57):
Right right?
Speaker 2 (01:26:59):
I do jokes, I'm being in trouble.
Speaker 4 (01:27:02):
That's so true, Steve, because my grandmother when she saw
that special, she said, how he know all this is
true talking about the church all of that because I.
Speaker 2 (01:27:13):
Knew church because I grew up in it. What he
was gonna ask me?
Speaker 7 (01:27:17):
I was like, like, you know, like for us comedians,
you know, you don't know where the dig gonna come from.
Speaker 1 (01:27:21):
But do you remember the money segment?
Speaker 3 (01:27:23):
Yeah?
Speaker 7 (01:27:23):
Do you remember the moment when you came up with
that intrant for Christ?
Speaker 2 (01:27:26):
Do you know you was at the time and I
was at I was at the Grand Looks restaurant.
Speaker 1 (01:27:31):
Yeah, I was there too.
Speaker 2 (01:27:33):
I remember the Emily Center because.
Speaker 6 (01:27:36):
I used to go from the radio show to the
Grand Looks and sit there all day, sometimes three meals there.
Speaker 2 (01:27:43):
We played Domino's.
Speaker 1 (01:27:47):
All day though, all day. That's why they shut it
down to you know, I had a lot going.
Speaker 2 (01:27:54):
On back then, so we knew every.
Speaker 6 (01:27:59):
And you know, like and I would just sit there
and so one day man Boom was there and Boom dog,
you had a hell of career.
Speaker 2 (01:28:08):
Man, what you like the most? I said, Man, I
introduced everybody.
Speaker 6 (01:28:12):
I did introduce Bible Strike saying I introduced, you know,
Neil Diamond and Donald introduced. I'm talking about every black person, Beyonce,
jay Z, I don't care who it is. I'm Luther Whitney, Michael.
Speaker 2 (01:28:25):
I say. The only person I ain't never introduced was Jesus.
I said, if I could just introduce Jesus, that a
captain for me. They said, man, what would you say?
And that was the business?
Speaker 6 (01:28:36):
If I had the pleasure of bringing out Christ.
Speaker 2 (01:28:42):
This is just how I would do it.
Speaker 15 (01:28:45):
It ain't got to be the way you do it.
You might not think it's just right, but this is
how I would do it. Ladies and gentlemen, it is
my honor.

Come on you think, uh huh, I sure will.
Speaker 2 (02:04):
Good morning everybody. You all listen to the voice.
Speaker 6 (02:07):
Come on dig me now, one and only Steve Harvey
got a radio show. I thank God for it every day.
I try to remember that too, you know. I try
to remember to be grateful. I think gratitude is one
of the things that helps keep me grounded. You can
go as far as you want in life. If you
don't mind who gets the credit. Well that applies to
(02:28):
God too, don't it. I mean, you know, really, if
you don't mind who gets the credit. I'm surrounded by
very competent people. I'm surrounded by a lot of people
who work hard on their jobs on their career, who
are dedicated employees and also just dedicated to their families
(02:50):
and you know, dedicated to their own set of aspirations.
I don't expect anybody to work for me forever. I
always look at my opportunities are stepping stones because I
want everyone around me really to aspire to be more.
I mean, that's really the way I am. I'm not
any other way. I'm not trying to hold you to
(03:12):
this position. You know, tell you there's no room for
growth any of that. But even though I'm surrounded by
these people, I'm grateful that God placed them in my path.
Speaker 2 (03:28):
In my life.
Speaker 6 (03:30):
But in my mind, in my spirit, in everything in me,
the credit still belongs to God. I'm sorry. The credit
still belongs to God. See if you would, just for
a moment, stop thinking about yourself, just for a moment.
(03:53):
I know that's hard, but just for a moment, stop
thinking about yourself and realize that maybe you are who
you are because God is who he is. Maybe that's
the case. Have you ever considered that? That's the strongest
possibility I can give to you? You know, how do
you think you the one that made it through? How
(04:16):
you think you the one after all of the ignorant
decisions we have made? And oh my goodness, let's all
be honest. Ain't we made some crazy decisions I'm talking about, man,
I have made decisions so adverse to my destiny and career,
my promises. I've made some decisions man, knowingly you hear
(04:40):
me knowingly do something wrong, and in spite of all that,
I'm still here standing. Okay, come on now, really, really,
all the dirt you'd bene done, everybody done dirt, all
the mistakes you've made, you in the position you in
today because of what? Because you all that? Because you
(05:03):
work harder than anybody else. Look, I work hard, I'll
be I'll tell you in a minute.
Speaker 2 (05:10):
I work hard.
Speaker 6 (05:10):
But I don't think I'm the hardest working person out there.
I'm pretty sure somebody done work way harder than I have.
So okay, so you work hard? Okay, cool, I got
all that. But man, what about his grace and his mercy?
What about his favor? How many times, man, you done
(05:32):
relied on that even when you ain't know you was
relying on it? How many times man, gods just shown
you mercy you ain't even deserve it? Do you know
how many things I've done wrong? I just ain't get
caught at it? You know, let me see how simple
I can be? You speed you jwall. You lie to
(05:54):
police when you get pulled over that you wasn't speeding.
You go to court and argue you wasn't speeding when
you was. You make U turns. I'm just doing traffic violations. Now,
let's get off traffic for a second. Let's get on
human violations. You talk about people when you're not supposed to.
(06:17):
You indulge yourself in gossip even when you don't really
have all the facts. You pass judgment, You lust for
people that don't belong to you. You say things to
people that you're not supposed to say. So, look, all
(06:38):
of us, we all were all guilty. Now see I'm
not saying you do all of that, but I'm saying
I'm pretty sure I hit you somewhere in there, just
somewhere in there. You don't lie before you know you
lied recently. I mean, come on, And I'm just saying
so with all that in mind. See, I'm just looking
at the little things that we do that we don't
(06:59):
get busted. Not to mention the chips you stole when
you was a kid and nobody caught you. Well, that elevated,
didn't it. And some of y'all just didn't stop stealing,
and next thing you know, you was in a car.
Now you're sitting somewhere you don't want to be sitting
because of a decision you made. But through his grace
and mercy, couldn't it have been worse?
Speaker 2 (07:17):
Though?
Speaker 6 (07:18):
Without his grace and mercy, could not it have been worse.
I know two dudes that got caught in the garage
one time trying to break in somebody's house, and the
person in the house they broke into just happened to
have a gun and held them in the garage, caught
them and held them to the garage to the police car.
That's Grace and Mercy right there, because they had all
(07:39):
full right to shoot these two people, but they didn't.
They're Grace and Mercy. See, all of us have benefited
from his grace and mercy. All of us have done
a wrong, committed a sin, broken the law, and somehow,
through his grace and mercy, got by, doing drugs, buying drugs,
slanging drugs, doing something, got by, jump on somebody for
(08:00):
no reason, got by, you know. So see how you
figure with all that that can go on in your life?
And then hold on, let me throw a couple more
at you. You can't wake yourself up in the morning,
mister big shot. You don't have the ability to control
the breaths that you take. Really, mister big shot, really,
(08:25):
let's get real basic with it now. You can't wake
yourself up in the morning. That's favor, that's grace, that's mercy,
that's Him allowing you to wake up just hoping we
get it right. You know, God spared me through all
the dirt I was doing just hoping. One day, man,
(08:47):
can you just straighten up a little bit? When I
finally straightened up, and I'm gonna just say it, straightened
up a little bit. See, I ain't straightened up all
the way. Say, I ain't gonna sit here and tell
you that I just straightened up a little bit. He
started blessing me. So the more blessings I got start going, Man,
maybe I'll try straighten up a little bit more. So
I straightened up a little bit more. I still got
a long way to go, but I'm straighter than I
(09:10):
was now. When people judging me, and as they will,
and they do, because that ain't right, but they do,
and I ain't walking just the way they walk, Then
here come to criticism.
Speaker 2 (09:18):
I get it. All the time.
Speaker 6 (09:20):
Stop wanting credit all the time, and give out some
credit where credit is due instead of having somebody patting
you on your back all the time.
Speaker 2 (09:28):
Why don't you tell God kill people it was really
was God, man that you don't really know how you
made it?
Speaker 6 (09:34):
That really man, you have no explanation for your success,
or you have no explanation why you still exist in
the day. Why don't you tell somebody it was God today?
Don't be ashamed. It's the truth, ain't it. I mean, really, man,
let's give God some credit here. Give God the credit
and the glory and the honor. And like that plaque said,
you can go as far as you want in life
(09:54):
if you don't mind who gets the credit.
Speaker 2 (09:56):
All right, you're.
Speaker 1 (09:57):
Listening to the Steve Harvey Morning Show.
Speaker 6 (10:02):
All right, everybody, welcome to the ride. This is the
Steve Harvey Morning Showing. A very very special morning. This
is Martin Luther King Holiday. We got a national holiday
for such a great man. I was just recently in
Memphis and I stood on the balcony at the Lorraine
Motel and took photos in the exact spot that on
(10:22):
front of the reef where Martin Luther King was killed.
That was my first time ever doing that. It was
an eerie feeling. Eerie. Now the building across the street
where the shot was fired from, that building's gone, but
they've turned it into the National Civil Rights Museum. Wonderful place.
Man a lot of history there, had a lot of stuff,
(10:44):
a lot of information. It was a good visit. So
I just did that and so and saw all of
the paraphernalia that they sell, so many pictures of King,
so many sweatshirts. But I am a man on it
and everything. It's just so much. He did mynment march
on the monument and all of that was up there
in the Civil Rights Museum. If you get a chance
(11:06):
to visit in Memphis, it is worth it.
Speaker 2 (11:08):
It is worth it.
Speaker 6 (11:09):
And they preserve They have the same cars that were
out front on that day. They're in the parking lot.
It's a uh and you can go and they some
people are allowed on the balcony. We just happened to
be one of them. Very fortunate, but it was. It
was every fielding out. It's not a smile photo.
Speaker 2 (11:29):
I can tell you that. That's all I can say. Yeah,
But welcome to the ride.
Speaker 6 (11:33):
John Shirley Strawberry calling for real Mississippi Monica Junior and
the legend that is nephew Tommy Junior.
Speaker 2 (11:39):
Today anything, well, you.
Speaker 7 (11:41):
Know it's you know, it's doctor King's day.
Speaker 5 (11:43):
Man.
Speaker 7 (11:44):
You know, I wasn't alive when Doctor King was here. Man,
I wasn't there.
Speaker 6 (11:49):
Talking to babies. Yeah, yeah, I ain't stories, Junior. They
historical events. They're not just stories. They they ain't like
Mary had a little lamb or nothing like that. As
you're talking about it sounds I can't stand talking to
kids sometimes.
Speaker 2 (12:06):
No damn sense of history. I wasn't alive. I just
hear about the stories.
Speaker 6 (12:11):
This ain't no bedtime story, you know, baby, you know
one time there was a time where we couldn't sit
at the lunch kind and eat our food. Sometimes we
crossed the street.
Speaker 2 (12:22):
And they side.
Speaker 6 (12:24):
Yeah, I'm just trying to that. That's what sometimes, you know,
you know, I'm just messing with you doing you sometimes. Yeah,
just sometimes you know, just young people get on my
damn nerves because you know they wasn't now so now
it's a story like it's like people can't believe, Like
I give you an example, these young people today, they
can't believe that Michael Jordan was the greatest basketball player
(12:49):
to ever live.
Speaker 2 (12:51):
Some boy telling me how good John Morani is. I'm going, wait, man,
hold man, what I mean? They have a little ignorant
ass argument. He is not my Jordan, That's for sure.
Nobody is. You know, you know I appreciate that. Just
just amazing.
Speaker 6 (13:07):
Somehow you wouldn't now you think, hell now Lebron Lebron
is a great basketball player and he's accomplished is something
I've never seen them before. His longevity, getting his boy
in the league and all like that. But you know,
last week y'all asked me who i'd rather be? Will
have a Lebron's little Lebron's body or Jalen hurts face
and give me his face because I don't want to
(13:27):
be six nine and slew.
Speaker 1 (13:29):
Foot thirty two minutes after the album.
Speaker 2 (13:32):
Already let my hair go. He won't even stupid.

Speaker 6 (14:20):
Market Right now, here's the drum major stique speech on
the Steve Harvey Morning Show.
Speaker 3 (14:25):
An instinct. It's a kind of drum major instinct.
Speaker 9 (14:29):
A desire to be out front, a desire to lead
the parade, a desire to be first. It is something
that runs a whole gamut of life. And so before
we condemn them, let us see that we all have
the drum major instinct.
Speaker 1 (14:51):
We all want to be.
Speaker 9 (14:53):
Important, to surpass others, to achieve distinction, to lead the parade.
Alfred Adler, the great psychoanalyst, contends that this is the
dominant impulse. Sigmund Fraud used to contend that sex was
(15:15):
the dominant impulse, and Adler came with a new argument,
saying that this quest for recognition, this desire for attention,
this desire for distinction, is the basic impulse, the basic
drive of human human life this drum major instinct. And
(15:41):
you know we begin early to ask life to put
us first. Our first cry as a baby was a
bid for attention, and all through childhood the drum major
impulse or instinct is a major obsession. Children ask life
(16:07):
to grant them first place.
Speaker 3 (16:12):
They are a little bundle of ego. They have innately
the drum major instinct. Now in adult life we still
have it, and we really never get by it.
Speaker 9 (16:32):
We like to do something good, and you know, we
like to be praised for it. Now, if you don't
believe that, you just go on living life and you
will discover very soon that you like to be praised.
Speaker 3 (16:49):
Everybody likes it as a matter of fact.
Speaker 9 (16:53):
And somehow this warm blow we feel when we are
praised or when our name aim is in print, is
something of the vitamin aid to our ego. Nobody is
unhappy when they are praised, even if they know they.
Speaker 3 (17:13):
Don't deserve it, and even if they don't believe it.
Speaker 9 (17:17):
The only unhappy people about praise is when that praise
is going too much towards somebody else. Right, But everybody
likes to be praised because of this real drum major
instinct do you know that a lot of the race
problem grows out of the drum major instinct, a need
(17:42):
that some people have to feel superior, a need that
some people have to feel that they are first, and
to feel that their white skin.
Speaker 1 (17:57):
Ordain them to be first.
Speaker 3 (18:00):
Played today, they have said over and over again in
ways that we see with our own eyes.
Speaker 9 (18:11):
In fact, not too long ago, a man down in
Mississippi said that God was a charred member of the
White Citizens' Council, And so God being the charter member
means that everybody who's in that has a kind of divinity,
a kind of superiority. And think of what has happened
(18:34):
in historism as a result, this perverted use of the
drum made instinct led to the most tragic prejudice, the
most tragic expressions of man's.
Speaker 1 (18:47):
In humanity to man.
Speaker 9 (18:50):
And not only does this thing go into the racial struggle,
goes into the struggle between nations. And I would submit
to you this morning that what is wrong in the
world today is the the nations of the world engaged
in a bitter, colossal.
Speaker 1 (19:07):
Contest for supremacy.
Speaker 9 (19:11):
And if some doesn't have them to stop this trend,
I'm sorely afraid that we won't be here to talk
about Jesus Christ and about God and about brotherhood too
many more years.
Speaker 3 (19:27):
If somebody doesn't bring it in to.
Speaker 9 (19:30):
This suicidal thrust that we see in the world today,
none of us are going to be around because somebody
is going to make the mistake, through our senseless blunderings,
of dropping a nuclear bomb somewhere, and then.
Speaker 3 (19:46):
Another one is going to drop.
Speaker 9 (19:47):
And don't let anybody fool you. This can happen within
a matter of seconds. They have twenty megaton bombs in.
Speaker 3 (19:56):
Russia right now that can destroy our cities, biggest New
York in three seconds, with everybody wiped away in every building.
And we can do the same thing to Russian China.
But this is why we are drifted, and we are
drifting there because nations are caught up with the drum
major instinct. I must be first, I must be supreme,
(20:19):
our a nation must rule the world. And I am
sad to say that the nation in which we live
is the supreme culprit. And I'm gonna continue to say
it to America because I love this country too much
to see the drift that it has taken. God didn't
(20:39):
call America to do what she's doing in the world.
Speaker 1 (20:42):
Now, God didn't call America.
Speaker 3 (20:46):
To engage in a senseless, unjust war as a war
in Vietnam, and we are criminals in that war. We
have committed more war crimes almost than any nation in
the world. And I'm going to continue to say it,
and we won't stop it the cost of our pride
and I recon sells the nation. But God has a
(21:07):
way of even putting nations in that place.
Speaker 6 (21:11):
Everybody here, here's the fact of no matter. Doctor Martin
Luther King Junior's speech to drum Major Instinct speech. It
was actually delivered at Ebeneze, a Baptist church in Atlanta, Georgia,
on February fourth, nineteen sixty eight.
Speaker 10 (21:26):
It's time to talk about life insurance. It's one of
those things that everyone should have, and Globe Life makes
it easy with no medical exam, just a simple application

Speaker 8 (21:59):
Welcome back to ther We will continue with more of
doctor King's the drum major instinct speech.
Speaker 9 (22:03):
Nobody is unhappy when they are praised, even if they
know they don't deserve it, and even if they don't
believe it. The only unhappy people about praise is when
that praise is going too much towards somebody else. But
everybody likes to be praised because of this real drum
(22:27):
major instinct. But you know that a lot of the
race problem grows out of the drum major instinct, a need.
Speaker 3 (22:38):
That some people have.
Speaker 11 (22:41):
To feel superior, a need that some people have to
feel that they are first, and to feel that their
white skin ordain.
Speaker 3 (22:53):
Them to be first. They have said over and over.
Speaker 1 (23:00):
The game in ways that we see with our own eyes.
Speaker 9 (23:07):
In fact, not too long ago, a man down in
Mississippi said that God was a charter member of the
White Citizens' Council, and so God being the charter member
means that everybody who's in that has a kind of divinity,
(23:29):
a kind of superiority. And think of what has happened
in historism as a result, this perverted use of the
drum made instinct led to the most tragic prejudice, the
most tragic expressions of.
Speaker 1 (23:45):
Man's in humanity to man.
Speaker 9 (23:49):
And not only does this thing go into the racial struggle,
goes into the struggle between nations. And I would submit
to you this morning that what is wrong in the
world today is that the nations of the world engaged
in a bitter, colossal contest for supremacy. And if some
(24:11):
doesn't have them to stop this trend, I'm sorely afraid
that we won't be here to talk about Jesus Christ
and about God and about brotherhood too many more years.
If somebody donet bringing in to this suicidal thrust that
(24:32):
we see in the world today, none of us.
Speaker 1 (24:36):
Are going to be around because.
Speaker 9 (24:38):
Somebody is going to make the mistake through our senseless blunderings,
of dropping a nuclear bomb somewhere, and then another one
is going to drop. And don't let anybody fool you,
this can happen within a matter of second. They have
twenty megapron bombs in.
Speaker 3 (24:56):
Russia right now that can destroy our city, biggest New
York in three seconds, with everybody wiped away in every building,
and we can do the same thing to Russian China.
But this is why we are drifted, and we are
drifting there because nations are caught up with the drum
major instinct. I must be first, I must be supreme.
(25:19):
Our a nation must rule the world.
Speaker 9 (25:22):
And I am sad to say that the nation in
which we live is the supreme culprit. And I'm gonna
continue to say it to America because I love.
Speaker 3 (25:34):
This country too much to see the drift that it
has taken. God didn't call America to do what she's
doing in the world now.
Speaker 1 (25:45):
God didn't call America.
Speaker 3 (25:47):
To engage in a senseless, unjust war as a war
in Vietnam, and we are criminals in that war. We
have committed more war crimes almost than any nation in
the world. And I'm gonna continue to say it, and
we won't.
Speaker 1 (26:02):
Stop it because of our pride.
Speaker 3 (26:05):
And I a regon says a nation. But God has
a way of even putting nations in that place. God
that I worship has a way of saying, don't play
with me. He has a way of saying.
Speaker 9 (26:22):
He's a God of the Old Testament used to say
him the Hebrews don't play with me, Israel, don't play
with me battling, be stealing.
Speaker 1 (26:33):
Know that I'm God.
Speaker 3 (26:36):
If you don't stuck your reckless course, I'll rise up.
Speaker 1 (26:40):
And break the backbone of your power.
Speaker 3 (26:44):
That can happen to America. Every now and then I
go back and read Gibbons Decline and Fall of the
Roman Empire.
Speaker 1 (26:52):
And when I come and look.
Speaker 9 (26:54):
At America, I say to myself, the parallels are frightening.
We have perverted the drum maid's instinct. Every nine then
I guess we all think realistically about that day when
we will be victimized with what is life's final common denominator.
(27:20):
That's something we call death. We all think about it.
And every nine and then I think about my own death,
and I think about my own funeral, and I don't
think of it in a morbid sense. Every nine then
I ask myself what is it that I would want say?
(27:44):
And I leave the word to you this morning, if
any of you around when I have to.
Speaker 3 (27:51):
Meet my day, I don't want a long funeral. And
if you get somebody to deliver the ulitity, tell them
not to talk too long. And every nine and then
I wonder what I want him to say? Tell them
not to mintion that I have a nobel peace pride.
Speaker 2 (28:08):
That isn't important.
Speaker 3 (28:10):
Tell them not to mention that I have three or
four hundred other awards, that's not important. Tell them not
to mention where I went to school. I like somebody to.
Speaker 1 (28:21):
Mention that day, then Martin Luthor King Junior tried to give.
Speaker 3 (28:27):
His life serving others. I'd like for somebody to say
that day that Martin Luther King Junior tried to love somebody.
I want you to say that day that I tried
to be right on the work question. I want you
to be able to say that day that I did
try to feed the homengrad. I want you to be
(28:50):
able to say that day that I did try in
my life to call those who were nicked. I want
you to say on that day that I did try
in my life to visit thors who were in prison.
I want you to say that I tried to love
and serve humanity.
Speaker 9 (29:10):
Yes, if you want to say that I was a
drum major, say that I was a drum major for justice,
Say that I was a drum major for peace. I
was a drum major for righteousness, and all of the
other shallow things will nothing matter. I won't have any
money to leave behind, I won't have the fine and.
Speaker 3 (29:33):
Luxurious things of life to leave behind. But I just
want to leave or committed life behind. And that's all
I want to say. If I can help somebody as
I pass along, if I can cheer somebody with a
word song, if I can show somebody he's traveling wrong,
(29:54):
then my living will not be invaded.
Speaker 9 (29:58):
If I can do my dude, he has a Christian alt.
If I can bring salvation to a wall once rot,
if I can spread the message as the Master talk,
then my living will.
Speaker 2 (30:13):
Not be in vain.
Speaker 10 (30:15):
You're listening Steve Harvey Morning Show. Today's MLK Day. It
is a day of service. Reverend doctor Martin Luther King,
Junior devote in his life to service and fighting for
civil rights and freedom. Doctor King had a pursuit for racial, social,
and economic justice. And Steve, I got to ask you
(30:37):
this question. You know you talk about this a lot.
You talked about it earlier this morning. You've been through
a lot growing up. So how have you learned to
deal with racism? How have you dealt with it?
Speaker 6 (30:51):
I mean, look, I mean pretty much like most people.
I mean I'm angry about it. I don't understand what's
taking in so long. It just it doesn't make any
sense to me. It's it's actually pathetic. Why is it
that people of color are still asking for equality, which
(31:12):
seems like we're asking it from from from somebody that's
not willing to give it. I mean, it's just obviously
that there are people who are set in their ways,
and it's frustrating now we Even with that said, I
have devoted myself to being the best person that I
(31:32):
can be to elevate myself as high as I can,
but not only elevate myself, stick my hand back down
the wall and bring up as many people as I can,
thus my foundation, thus my ranch, thus me trying to
promote young people, thus helping people. I'm constantly looking for
(31:52):
ways to uplift the the the oppressed, the downtrodden people.
And that carries over into all people too. And that's
what's been crazy about it.
Speaker 1 (32:04):
Man.
Speaker 2 (32:05):
I'm willing to help all people.
Speaker 6 (32:08):
Now, Do I have a special affinity and do I
target mostly people of color?
Speaker 2 (32:15):
Yeah? Yeah, do that.
Speaker 6 (32:17):
And I was talking to one guy one day and
he said, well, how can you just target them? I said, well,
that's where I see the most need. I see the
most need in people of color and oppressed people. So
I'm targeting my efforts. I said, you know, look, it's
all types of people come to the camp. Anybody can
(32:38):
come to the camp. Asians are pressed, they walk them
at the camp. All Latinos come to my camp. I
got white kids come to the camp. Yeah, you know,
I got all of them. Diversity, But you know do
you can't get mad at me because I know where
the greater need is and I can see it more.
(33:01):
And it's my obligation because if the government not gonna
do it, and they're trying to cut state funding and
they're not gonna do it, well, let's just look at
this right here. For example, let's just look at the
education disparity in this country. Why do we have an
educational disparity? Because the money on the federal level that
(33:21):
we pay in taxes, and we pay state taxes, local taxes,
it all goes into a fund. Now, the areas that
pay the most funds into the state taxes or the
federal taxes are the places that receive the most money back.
Poor places are not gonna have as big a pool
to pick from so poor places stay behind the eight ball.
(33:46):
It's the system they set up. See, they set that
system up, not me. So what should be happening is
we should as a country make sure that all people
have access to a quality education and a free education.
And that ain't the American way. That ain't the American way.
(34:08):
But that's why we're losing education wise on a global
level because other countries they don't they don't do it
that way. We should all be able to. We make
enough money in this country where everybody should get free
medical there's a business we don't get that.
Speaker 5 (34:27):
Right.
Speaker 2 (34:27):
But this is the system they set up. And the
system is not set up.
Speaker 6 (34:31):
And targeted for the underprivileged or the oppressed mm hm,
or the less fortunate, that's right, Steve.
Speaker 2 (34:38):
So it's not set up that way.
Speaker 6 (34:40):
So my obligation and my foundation is fun the less fortunate,
the oppressed, the down trodden, and I go out of
my way to see that that happens. But you know,
we're gonna win. It's just sad that it's taken so
damn long, and it pisses you off. And I would
say this to anybody who is not of color, how
(35:03):
long would you like to wait to be treated equal?
How much time you want to devote to same treatment,
equal pay, fairness in housing? How would you like it
if every time you cut on the news the police
was shooting somebody who.
Speaker 2 (35:24):
Looked like you?
Speaker 6 (35:26):
How long? How long you want to wait? I mean,
I'm listening. It can't be much. And I don't know
the white lady's name that ask that famous question to
a room full of white people, who in here would
be willing to trade places with black people who not
a hand?
Speaker 1 (35:42):
Was that Jane Elliott? Jane, I think so, Jane Elliott?
Speaker 6 (35:48):
And she says, because you know that they are being
treated unfairly, but that nobody's doing anything about it. So
we have to do as ourselves. We have to do
this ourselves. We have to keep picking ourselves up. That
old pull yourself up by the bootstraps. Yeah, that's cool,
except a lot of people don't have the boots or
(36:10):
the straps. So you got to keep the faith, and
we got to reach back and we got to help
as many as we can.
Speaker 10 (36:16):
And it's so interesting that you asked the question, Steve,
how long, because as we celebrate doctor Martin Luther King
that was in the sixties, that was in the sixties.
Speaker 2 (36:26):
I ain't patient.
Speaker 6 (36:28):
I'm a lot of patients. I'm done with you talking
about waiting. I ain't waiting no more. See, people don't
hit the wall now. People, whether you ain't gonna know me,
we're gonna take it exacting exhausted.
Speaker 2 (36:40):
I'm overwhelmed.
Speaker 6 (36:41):
I'm sick and tired of it, and we are people
of color are sick and tired of it.
Speaker 2 (36:49):
And you would be too if it was happening to you.
But it ain't happening to you, so you ain't got
nothing to be sick and tired of.
Speaker 10 (36:54):
That's ng and we'll have more of the Steve Harvey
Morning Show as we celebrate the life and legacy of
doctor Martin Luther King Junior. Right after this, you're listening
the same Harday Morning Show. It's time to talk about

with you know, my birthdays and Christmas is they not
feel with gifts and stuff like that.
Speaker 2 (38:37):
That's not what it is for me anymore. My have
I mean, like you know, I know my kids.
Speaker 6 (38:42):
Always used excuse you know, with your dad, you got
everything well, then I do, so I don't really care,
you know, I really rather would just be appreciated about it. Anything,

into my back is giving me problems, you know, stiffing,
and then on me they told me I have arthriters
in my and three giudentity degenerative discs in my lower
(39:07):
back which has turned into oarth writers. And they tell
me it's gonna get increasingly worse. But I don't claim
that I'm gonna get that heel because I know God,
and you know, I'm doing stretching and stuff. So it
bothers me sometimes, but nothing debilitating, So I don't worry
about that. Other than that, my health is really really good.
(39:30):
I got rid of all my markers for cardiovascular disease.

in that damn hull.
Speaker 3 (40:34):
Yeah.
Speaker 6 (40:35):
See, he said, if you like you've been flipping briskeys
but with a dinner for you know, ain't no leverage.
You got to have strong ass, had strong hold a
whole pork butter and flip it with a fuck flip.
Speaker 2 (40:49):
Yeah.
Speaker 10 (40:51):
All right, coming up, we'll have more of the Steve
Harvey Morning Show on this King Holiday.
Speaker 12 (40:56):
Right after this, you're.
Speaker 1 (40:58):
Listening Steve Harvey Moore showing the late great civil Rights Icon.
Speaker 10 (41:05):
State Representative John Lewis spoke at the March on Washington
back in nineteen sixty three, and then he spoke at
the fiftieth anniversary March on Washington back in two thy fifteen.
Speaker 1 (41:17):
Take a listen.
Speaker 14 (41:19):
Fifty years ago, fifty years ago, I stood right here
in this spot, twenty three years old, had all of
my hair and a few finals light. So I come
back here again to said, at those days, for the
(41:42):
most part, are gone. But we have another fight. We
must stand up and fight the good fight as we
march today. But they are forces, they are people who
want to take us back. We cannot go back. We
come too far.
Speaker 3 (42:02):
We want to go forward.
Speaker 14 (42:06):
Back In nineteen sixty three, hundreds and thousand a million
of our brothers and sisters could not registered to vote.
When I stood here fifty years ago, I said, one man,
one vote is African crime.
Speaker 2 (42:22):
It is ours too.
Speaker 3 (42:24):
It must be ours.
Speaker 14 (42:25):
I also said, some people tell us to wait, tell
us to be patient. I said fifty years later, we
cannot wait. We cannot be patient. We want jobs and
we want our freedom now, all of us. It doesn't
matter whether we're black or white. Let you know, Asian America,
(42:49):
a Native American. It doesn't matter whether we're straight, Agay,
we're wan people. We are one family, we'll one house.
We all live in the same house. So I said
to you my brothers and sisters. We cannot give up.
We cannot give out, We cannot give in. We must
(43:14):
get out there and push and pull. Now, I a
few short years ago, almost forty eight years ago, well
forty years ago, almost fifty years ago, I gave a
little blood on that bridge instell my Alabama for the
right to vote.
Speaker 3 (43:32):
I am not gonna stand.
Speaker 14 (43:34):
By and let the Supreme Court take the right.
Speaker 3 (43:37):
To vote away from us.
Speaker 14 (43:42):
You cannot stand by, you cannot sit down. You got
to stand up, speak up, speak out, and get in
a way, make some noise. The vote is precious, it
(44:03):
is almost sacred. It is the most powerful, non violent
tool we have in a democratic society, and we got
to use it. Back in nineteen sixty three. We hadn't
heard of the internet. We didn't have to sell your telephone,
iPad our part. But we used what we had to
(44:26):
bring about a non violent revolution. And I said to
all of the young people, you must get out there
and push and pull and make America what America should
be for all of us. We must set to the
Congress fix the voting right site. We must set to
(44:49):
the Congress pass comprehension immigration reform. It doesn't make sense
that million of our people are living in the shadow.
Bring them out into the light and set them on
a path to citizenship.
Speaker 1 (45:05):
So hang in there, keep the faith.
Speaker 14 (45:09):
I got arrested forty times during the sixth disc beat
the left bloody and unconscious.
Speaker 1 (45:16):
But I'm not tied.
Speaker 3 (45:18):
I'm not weary.
Speaker 14 (45:19):
I'm not prepared to sit down and give up and
read at a fight and continue to fight.
Speaker 3 (45:26):
And you must fight, thank you very much.
Speaker 6 (45:30):
I have a dream that this great country of America
continues to be the country of opportunity, the greatest country
in all the world, that all people will live up
to His creed and have a life of prosperity and
enjoyment and happiness that's entitled to all of us as
Americans and citizens of this great country. That's what I
dream about, and I shore hope it comes true.
Speaker 1 (45:53):
You're listening to the Steve Harvey Morning Show.
Speaker 10 (45:56):
Happy MLKJ, Today's MLKJ and Inauguration Day.
Speaker 2 (46:02):
Oh yeah, just go and get it on.

wolds all that cool? Yeah, it's all a crack enow.
I respect the Officer of the Presidency, you know, I
respect him as the new president.
Speaker 2 (46:20):
And it is what it is. Let's see what he do.
I know one thing I ain't expected a damn thing.
Speaker 10 (46:30):
Well, you know, now, more than ever, we should make
it a purpose to live out Doctor King's legacy. President
Biden and Vice President Kamala Harris administration, Uh, they were
dedicated to democracy and freedom. However, today President elect Trump
will take the presidential oath of office during inauguration day ceremonies,
which traditionally includes a procession to the capital by the
(46:54):
outgoing and incoming administrations. Remember, President elect Donald Trump is
preparing for one hundred executive orders starting on day one
in the new White House, including.
Speaker 12 (47:04):
Border security, deportations.
Speaker 10 (47:07):
Canada and China with import tariffs, and pardoning January sixth
rioters and rolling back many of the Biden administration executive
orders while putting his own proposals in place.
Speaker 12 (47:19):
All right, remember Projects twenty twenty five.
Speaker 2 (47:21):
So here you know what that means?
Speaker 3 (47:23):
What?
Speaker 2 (47:23):
Okay, go ahead, I'm sorry, go ahead.
Speaker 12 (47:25):
Here's a question.
Speaker 10 (47:27):
Yeah, how do you guys feel about Trump and his
Vice President elect JD.
Speaker 12 (47:31):
Vance? I mean you still feel.
Speaker 6 (47:32):
I'm glad you asked. Now, are everybody that voted for Trump.
Now you're gonna see what you're gonna get. You're about
to learn that it has never was about you. It
was never about his voting block. And you are going
to find out you put these terroifts on China. Do

you know how much stuff in the cost? Now you
think the cost of living is high, Now watch what's

but it ain't gonna be good for you.
Speaker 2 (48:03):
For the.

your life to get better under Trump, because it's not.
Rich are going It's gonna be great again for rich people.
Rich people are going to benefit. I'm telling you right
(48:28):

I get the news, I'm gonna give you the news
so you can understand what's really going on.
Speaker 2 (48:39):
It's just it's gonna be shocked.
Speaker 6 (48:42):
It's going to be shocking for his voting block when
they find out he really Okay, I got that part,
but what about the pole people that voted for him.
But that's who I'm talking about. That, that's who I'm
talking about right there, all them Trump I'm Trumps, my guy.
I'm all right cool, right? What they gonna get?
Speaker 2 (49:04):

Speaker 2 (49:46):
America?

Yeah?
Speaker 1 (49:47):
Why is that?
Speaker 6 (49:48):
I'd have been down there. I ain't trying to call
nobody out, but I'd have been to Biloxi, Corpus Christian
and all I've seen that little money at Walter. I'm
not even getting in it. He ain't got to call
that the golf man. He can keep it the golf
from Mexico.
Speaker 1 (50:01):
Why is that anything I don't even know why that.
You just say anything again. Then he wants to buy Canada, I.
Speaker 3 (50:16):

Speaker 1 (50:46):
So yeah, and I think they're gonna swear him in
around what news.
Speaker 2 (50:54):
It ain't gonna be on b T your own I'll
tell you.
Speaker 14 (50:57):
That, right.
Speaker 1 (51:01):
But like said, he's a president.
Speaker 10 (51:04):
Bounce, respect the office the president, fire of the presidency.
Speaker 12 (51:08):
And that's the you know, Happy MLK Day. We know
what MLK meant to us. This is his birthday. We're
celebrating that.
Speaker 10 (51:16):
Not just a day off, it's a day on if
you can do some community service, do something.
Speaker 12 (51:21):
Today, you know, that's what today is all about. MLK Day.
Speaker 4 (51:25):
Absolutely, it won't be on I'll tell you that you're
going through the channel. It won't be televised. But like
I'm saying, surely it's a day on service.
Speaker 1 (51:40):
Yeah, a day of service.
Speaker 4 (51:42):
And I think this year, all of the natural disasters,
the fires, you know, all of these things, you all
can volunteer and help your community.
Speaker 1 (51:50):
I mean, you still need to help people in LA.
Speaker 4 (51:53):
So you got to take a look around, roll your
sleeves up, and despite what's going on, you to help something.
Speaker 1 (52:01):
You've got to remember, right, his legacy, King's legacy.
Speaker 12 (52:05):
To that, what he meant to us, you know when
he worked so hard for, you know what he marched for.
You know what those boycotts were all about, all of that.
Speaker 4 (52:14):
So do you feel like, do you guys feel like
today we know what's getting ready to happen at the inauguration,
like Steve said, is on every channel.
Speaker 1 (52:25):
Do you all feel like it's we're kind of going
backwards a little bit?
Speaker 2 (52:29):
We've gone.
Speaker 6 (52:30):
He told me he was gonna make America great again,
make America great again for who.
Speaker 2 (52:36):
He's doing what he said he's gonna do.
Speaker 6 (52:40):
I'm not listen, I'm not banking on nothing working out here.
He said nothing in his campaign that would make me
think it's gonna be better for my people. And and
y'all didn't did They didn't see it? So now all y'all,
if that was some blacks for Trump.
Speaker 2 (53:00):
Okay, here you go.
Speaker 1 (53:02):
And there were Yeah, here you go.
Speaker 6 (53:04):
It ain't no problem Trump my man, Okay, cool, cool,
you're finish, find out how your man feel about you.
You're not finna get a damn thing because he ain't
got to set itself up a reelection. He's really going
to do just what he want to do. He's gonna
fix it for himself and for when he leave office.
(53:25):
That's what he's fixing it up for. He's not gonna
make America to be in a better position when he leaves.
Speaker 3 (53:32):
No man.
Speaker 6 (53:33):
And what you're about to see next is the next
presidential candidate from the Republican Party will be a mirror
of Donald Trump because he has hijacked the party and
he has now made it the way that the politics
is done. Lies, fake news is forever now. Fake news
is forever of going against election. That's forever now.
Speaker 1 (53:57):
Everybody on use if the results aren't the way you.
Speaker 2 (54:02):
Everybody this game on now.
Speaker 6 (54:04):
He has made a new blueprint for how to do
politics in the Republican Party. And the Democratic Party is
in trouble because we always reacting to them.
Speaker 2 (54:14):
We don't know how to play the game.
Speaker 6 (54:16):
I'm so ashamed of calling myself a damn Democrat that
I'm not calling myself a Democrat.
Speaker 2 (54:22):
No, damn more. I'm a voter, That's all I am.
Speaker 3 (54:25):
You're a voter.
Speaker 2 (54:26):
Yeah, I'm just a voter.
Speaker 6 (54:27):
Because y'all not Finnah, I'm not finishing of being Look
with y'all weak ass policies and all this here, and y'all, y'all,
y'all ain't you ain't standing for nothing.
Speaker 2 (54:35):
And then the Republican Party really ain't standing for nothing.
Speaker 6 (54:38):
They stand on that moral conviction and stuff which got
people twisted, but they use the morality clause to really
do the money power move, which is what they're trying
to do. They don't care nothing about that other stuff
y'all talking about making that issue.
Speaker 2 (54:54):
I'm just I'm sorry. I'm just ready. What is Tim
Scott finn to do for the next four years? I
don't know, is he is?
Speaker 4 (55:01):

Doctor Martin Luther King Jr.
Speaker 6 (55:50):
Once Said the life's most persistent and urgent question is
what are you doing for others?
Speaker 2 (55:56):
Coming up? We got some excerpts from doctor King's I've
been to the mountaintop. Speed.
Speaker 3 (56:00):
Let us rise up tonight with a greater readiness in
these powerful days. These days are challenge to make America
what it ought to be. We have an opportunity to
make America a better nation. And I want to thank
(56:23):
God once more for allowing me to be here with you.
You know, several years ago, I was in New York
City autographing the first book that I had written. While
sitting the autographing books, the minute black woman came up.
(56:43):
The only question I heard from her was you Martin
Luther King, and I was looking down writing and I
said yes. The next minute I felt something beating on
my chest. Before I knew it, I had been stabbed
by this deminted woman. I was rushed to Hulem Hospital.
It was a dog Saturday afternoon. That blade had gone through,
(57:08):
and the X rays revealed that the tip of the
blade was on the edge of my order the main
ottery and one that's puncture. You drowned in your own blood.
That's the end of you. It came out in the
New York Times the next morning that if I had
merely sneezed, I would have died. Well. About four days later,
(57:30):
they allowed me after the operation, after my chest had
been opening, the blade had been taken out, to move
around in the wheelchair the hospital. They allowed me to
read some of the mail that came in, and from
all over the states and the world. Kind letters came in.
I read a few, but one of them I will
(57:52):
never forget. I had received one from the President and
the Vice President. I've forgotten what those telegrams said. I
received the visit and a letter from the Governor of
New York, but I've forgotten what that letter say it
But there was another letter. It came from a little girl,
a young girl who was a student at the White
(58:15):
Planes High School. And I looked at that letter and
I'll never forget it. Say it simply, dear Doctor King,
I am a ninth grade student at the White Planes
High School. She said. While it should not matter, I
would like to mention that I'm.
Speaker 1 (58:32):
A white girl.
Speaker 9 (58:33):
I read in the paper of your misfortune and of
your suffering, and I read that if you had sneezed,
you would have died. I'm simply writing you to say
that I'm so happy that you.
Speaker 3 (58:48):
Didn't sneeze, and I want to say the night. I
want to say the night that I too, am happy
that I didn't sneeze, because if I had sneezed, I
wouldn't have been around here. Nineteen sixty when students all
over the South started sitting in at lunch counties, and
I knew that as a was sitting in, they were
(59:09):
really standing up for the best in the American dream
and taking the whole nation back to those great wells
of democracy which were dug deep by the founding fathers
in the Declaration of Independence and the Constitution. If I
had sneezed, I wouldn't have been around here in nineteen
sixty one when we decided to take a ride for
(59:30):
freedom an ended segregation in interstate travel. If I had sneezed,
I wouldn't have been around here in nineteen sixty two
when Negroes and all been at Georgia decided to straighten.
Speaker 1 (59:45):
That box up.
Speaker 3 (59:46):
And when other men and women straighten that box up,
they are going somewhere, because a man can't roger.
Speaker 1 (59:52):
Back unless it is bent.
Speaker 3 (59:54):
If I had sneezed, I had sneezed, I wouldn't have
been here in nineteen sixty three, the black people of Birmingham,
Alabama aroused the conscience of this nation and brought into
being the Civil Rights Bill. If I had sneeze, I
(01:00:14):
wouldn't have had a chance later that year, in August
to try to tell America about a dream that I
had had. If I had sneeze, I wouldn't have been
down in Selma, Alabama to see the great movement there.
If I had sneeze, I wouldn't have been in Memphis
(01:00:35):
to see a community run around those brothers and sisters
who are suffering. I'm so happy that I didn't sneez,
and they were telling them, now, it doesn't matter now,
it really doesn't matter what happens now. I left Atlanta
this morning and as we got started on the plane
(01:00:56):
that was six of us, the pilot said over the
public address system, we're sorref for the delay, but we
have Dr Martin Luther King on the plane and to
be sure that all of the bags were checked and
to be sure that nothing would be wrong on the plane.
(01:01:18):
We had to check out everything carefully, and.
Speaker 9 (01:01:21):
We've had the plane protected and guard it all night.
Speaker 3 (01:01:26):
Then I got into Memphis and some began to say
the threats I talk about the threats that were out
of what would happen to me from some of our
sick white brothers. Well, I don't know what will happen now.
We've got some difficult days ahead, but it really doesn't
(01:01:49):
matter with me now because I've been to the mountaintop.
I don't know, like anybody, I would like to live
a long life, long kevity has its place, but I'm
not concerned about that now. I just want to do God's.
Speaker 1 (01:02:08):
Will, and He's allowed me.
Speaker 12 (01:02:12):
To go up to the mountain, and I've looked over.
Speaker 1 (01:02:17):
And I've seen.
Speaker 3 (01:02:19):
The Promised Land. I may not get that with you,
but I want you to know the night that we
as a people will get to the Promised Land.
Speaker 1 (01:02:32):
So I'm happy tonight. I'm not worried about anything. I'm
not feeling in a man.
Speaker 3 (01:02:38):
Myne eyes have seen the glory on the coming of
the Lord.
Speaker 1 (01:02:42):
You're listening hardy morning shows?
Speaker 2 (01:02:48):
Did you know?
Speaker 6 (01:02:49):
You can now buy a Hondai on Amazon, the same
place where you order yoga mats, a toothbrush, and pretty
much everything else, all from the comfort of your home,
just located nearby dealer. Pick your color, your options, check

and crossing some te's, Waila, your Hondai is ready for pickup.
Speaker 3 (01:03:10):

Visit Honda USA dot com for more details. Limited availability
pick up through participating Hondaid dealers and select markets.
Speaker 6 (01:03:19):
Coming up, we're going to play some excerpts from doctor
King's I Have a Dream speech.
Speaker 3 (01:03:26):
I am happy to john with you today in what
we'll go down in history as the greatest demonstration for
freedom in the history.
Speaker 1 (01:03:40):
Of our nation.
Speaker 3 (01:03:47):
Five score years ago, a great American in whose symbolic
shadow we stand today, signed the Emancipation Proclamation. This momentous
decree came as a great beacon light of hope to
millions of Negro slaves who had been seared in the
(01:04:11):
flames of withering injustice. It came as a joyous daybreak
to end the long night of their captivity. But one
hundred years later, the Negro steal is not free.
Speaker 1 (01:04:31):
One hundred years.
Speaker 3 (01:04:32):
Later, the life of the negro is still sadly crippled
by the manacles of segregation and the chains of discrimination.
Speaker 9 (01:04:43):
One hundred years.
Speaker 3 (01:04:44):
Later, the negro lives on a lonely island of poverty
in the midst of a vast ocean of material prosperity.
One hundred years later, the negro is still languished in
the corners of American society and finds himself in exile.
Speaker 1 (01:05:08):
In his own land.
Speaker 3 (01:05:11):
So we've come here today to dramatize a shameful condition.
In a sense, we've come to our nation's capital to
catch a check. When the architects of our Republic wrote
the magnificent words of the Constitution and the Declaration of Independence,
(01:05:35):
they were signing a promise or a note to whichever
American was to fall out. This note was a promise
in all men, yes, black men as well as white men,
would be guaranteed the unalienable rights of life, liberty, and
(01:05:58):
the pursuit of happiness. It is obvious today that America
has defaulted on this promisory note in so far as
her citizens of color are concerned. Instead of honoring this
sacred obligation, America has given the Negro people a bad check,
(01:06:23):
a check which has come back to mark insufficient funds.
Speaker 1 (01:06:32):
But we refuse to believe that.
Speaker 3 (01:06:34):
The bank of justice is bakra. Refuse to believe that
that are insufficient funds in the great faults of opportunity
of this nation. So we've come to cash this check,
a check that will give us the pun demand, the
riches of freedom and the security of justice. We have
(01:07:04):
also come to this hallid spot to remind America of
the fierce urgency of now.
Speaker 2 (01:07:13):
This is no time.
Speaker 3 (01:07:15):
To engage in the luxury of cooling off or to
take the tranquilizing drug of gradualism. Now is the time
to make real the promises of democracy. Now is the
(01:07:36):
time the rise from the dark and desolate valley of
segregation to the sunlit path of racial justice.
Speaker 4 (01:07:44):
Now is the time.
Speaker 3 (01:07:50):
From the quick sands of racial injustice to the solid
rock of brotherhood. Now is the time, the reality for
all of God's till it would be fatal for the
nation to overlook the urgency of the moment. This sweltering
(01:08:14):
summit of the negro's legitimate discontent will not pass until
that is an invigorating ultumn of freedom and equality. Nineteen
sixty three is not an end, but a beginning.
Speaker 1 (01:08:30):
Those who hope that the Negro needed.
Speaker 3 (01:08:33):
To blow off steam and will now be content will
have a rude awakening. If the nation returns to business
as usual, there will be neither rest nor tranquility in
America until the Negro has granted his citizenship rights. The
(01:08:58):
whirlwinds are revolt will continue to shake the foundations of
our nation until the bright day of justice emerges.
Speaker 1 (01:09:07):
But that is something that I.
Speaker 3 (01:09:09):
Must say to my people who stand on the warm
threshold which leads into the palace of justice. In the
process of gaining our rightful place, we must not be
guilty or wrong for deeds. Let us not seek to
satisfy our first for freedom by drinking from the cup
(01:09:30):
of bitterness and hatred.
Speaker 1 (01:09:39):
You're listening to the Steve Harvey Morning Show.
Speaker 6 (01:09:44):
Did you know you could now buy a Hondai on Amazon,
the same place where you order yoga mats, a toothbrush,
and pretty much everything else, all from the comfort of
your home, just located nearby dealer. Pick your color, your options,
check the price, and with it's a few dotting of
some eyes and crosses some tea's walla, your Hondai is
(01:10:05):
ready for pickup.
Speaker 1 (01:10:06):
It's that easy.
Speaker 8 (01:10:08):
Visit Honda USA dot com for more details. Limited availability
pickup through participating Hondai dealers and select markets.
Speaker 6 (01:10:15):
Right now, I asked, promise, we're gonna play some of
doctor King's I have a Dream speech, which he delivered
on the steps of the Lincoln Memorial back in nineteen
sixty three.
Speaker 3 (01:10:24):
One day, right now in Alabama, little black bars and
black girls, we'll be able to join hands with little
white bars and white girls as sisters and brothers.
Speaker 1 (01:10:34):
I have a dream today.
Speaker 3 (01:10:38):
I have a dream that one day every valance shall
be exulted, Every hill and mountain shall be made low,
the rough places will be made faint, and the crooked
places will be made straight, and the core of the
love shall be revealed in all flesh shall see it together.
Speaker 1 (01:10:56):
This is our hope.
Speaker 3 (01:10:58):
This is the peace that I go back to the
South with. With this faith, we will be able to
hew out of the mountain of despair a stone of hope.
With this faith, we will be able to transform the
jangling discords of our nation into a beautiful symphony of brotherhood.
(01:11:18):
With this faith, we will be able to work together,
to pray together, to struggle together, to go to jail together,
to stand up for freedom together, knowing that.
Speaker 1 (01:11:30):
We will be free.
Speaker 5 (01:11:31):
One day.
Speaker 1 (01:11:34):
We day, This will be the day.
Speaker 3 (01:11:38):
When all the gods child, we will be able to
sing with new meaning. My country tears the we land
of liberty of bi sing Land, where my father's died,
Land of the Pilgrims. Frye from every mountain side.
Speaker 1 (01:11:58):
Let freedom ring in.
Speaker 3 (01:11:59):
For America's to be a great nation, this must become true.
So let freedom ring from the prodigious hilltops of New Hampshire.
Let freedom ring from the mighty mountains of New York.
Let freedom ring from the heightening allegators of Pennsylvania. Might
let freedom ring from the snow cap arcis of Colorado.
(01:12:23):
Let freedom ring from the curbation of slopes of California.
But not only that. Let freedom ring from stone mountain
of Georgia. Let freedom ring from lookout mountain of Tennessee.
That freedom ring from every hill and mole hill of Mississippi,
(01:12:45):
from every mountainside.
Speaker 4 (01:12:48):
Then freedom ring.
Speaker 5 (01:12:49):
And when that happens, when we allow freedom ring, when
rented a ring from every village and every hamlet, from
average state and every city, we will be able to
speed up that day.
Speaker 3 (01:13:06):
We're all about children, black men and white men, Jews
and tent Poles, Protestants and Catholic we'll be able to
join hands and sing in the words of the old
Negro spiritual pre ad last were free ad last, Thank
quo minter.
Speaker 10 (01:13:24):
Real, you'll be back. You're listening to the Steve Harvey
Morning Show. Today's MLK Day. It is a day of service.
Reverend doctor Martin Luther King Junior devoted his life to
service and fighting for civil rights and freedom. Doctor King
had a pursuit for racial, social and economic justice.
Speaker 1 (01:13:45):
And Steve, I gotta ask you this question.
Speaker 10 (01:13:48):
You know you talk about this a lot, you talked
about it earlier this morning. You've been through a lot
growing up, So how have you learned to deal with racism?
How how have you dealt with it?
Speaker 6 (01:14:00):
I mean, look, I mean pretty much like most people.
I mean, I'm angry about it. I don't understand what's
taking so long. It doesn't make any sense to me.
It's actually pathetic. Why is it that people of color
are still asking for equality, which seems like we're asking
(01:14:20):
it from from somebody that's not willing to give it.
I mean, it's just obviously that there are people who
are set in their ways, and it's frustrating. Now we
Even with that said, I have devoted myself to being
the best person that I can be, to elevate myself
as high as I can, but not only elevate myself,
(01:14:43):
stick my hand back down the wall and bring up
as many people as I can, thus my foundation, thus
my ranch, thus me trying to promote young people, thus
helping people. I'm constantly looking for ways to uplift the
the the oppressed, the downtrodden people, and and that carries
(01:15:05):
over into all people too.
Speaker 2 (01:15:07):
And that's what's been crazy about it.
Speaker 4 (01:15:09):
Man.
Speaker 2 (01:15:10):
I'm willing to help allop.
Speaker 6 (01:15:13):
Now, do I have a special affinity and do I
target mostly U people of color?
Speaker 2 (01:15:20):
Yeah? Yeah, I do that.
Speaker 6 (01:15:22):
And I was talking to one guy one day and
he said, well, how can you just target them? I said,
well that's where I see the most need. I see
the most need in people of color and oppressed people.
So I'm targeting my efforts. I said, you know, look,
it's all types of people come to the camp. Anybody
(01:15:43):
can come to the camp. And Asians are oppressed, they
walcome at the camp. All Latinos come to my camp.
They I got white kids come to the camp.
Speaker 1 (01:15:51):
You know, I got all of them diversity.
Speaker 6 (01:15:55):
But you know, do you can't get mad at me
because I know where the greater need is and I
can see it more obviously, and it's my obligation because
if the government not gonna do it, well, let's just
look at this right here. For example, let's just look
at the education disparity in this country. Why do we
have an educational disparity? Because the money on the federal
(01:16:19):
level that we pay in taxes, and we pay state taxes,
local taxes, it all goes into a fund. Now, the
areas that pay the most funds into the state taxes
or the federal taxes are the places that receive the
most money back. Poor places are not gonna have as
big a pool to pick from, so poor places stay
(01:16:43):
behind the eight ball.
Speaker 2 (01:16:44):
It's the system they set up. See, they set that
system up, not me.
Speaker 6 (01:16:51):
So what should be happening is we should as a
country make sure that all people have access to a
quality education, free education. N That ain't the American way.
That ain't the American way. But that's why we're losing
education wise on the global level because other countries they don't.
Speaker 2 (01:17:12):
They don't do it that way.
Speaker 6 (01:17:14):
We should all be able to we make enough money
in this country where everybody should get free medical there's
a business we don't get that. Yeah, so you know, right,
but this is the system they set up. And the
system is not set up and targeted for the underprivileged or.
Speaker 1 (01:17:32):
The oppressed or the less fortunate. That's right.
Speaker 2 (01:17:36):
So it's not set up that way.
Speaker 6 (01:17:37):
So my obligation and my foundation is for the less fortunate,
the oppressed, the down try and I go out of
my way to see that that happens.
Speaker 2 (01:17:46):
But you know, we're gonna win. It's just sad that
it's taken so damn long, and it pisses you off.
Speaker 6 (01:17:54):
And I would say this to anybody who is not
of color. Howl would you like to wait to be
treated equal.
Speaker 10 (01:18:05):
That's right, are And we'll have more of a Steve
Harvey Morning Show as we celebrate the life and legacy
of doctor Martin Luther King Jr.
Speaker 1 (01:18:11):

special I wrote. I had to go write that special.
There wasn't jokes. I was doing one on the road.
N I had to write that special. I had to
go write that. I had to go put this church
(01:26:07):
stuff together. It was probably the easiest hardest set I've
ever written because I grew up in the church, so
I knew a lot of church stuff.
Speaker 2 (01:26:18):
I did not think that the church.
Speaker 6 (01:26:21):
Folks was gonna accept it because I was gonna have
to talk about it. I was gonna have to talk
about the people that they let read announcements. You know,
the first thing about read announcements. Reading is fundamental. You
can't put the ignorant people shouldn't be reading.
Speaker 1 (01:26:36):
Announcements at the church.
Speaker 6 (01:26:41):
I just it's just a lot of stuff I knew
calling the past about every little thing I just I said.
And then stuff that I knew, how the choir saying,
who in the choir?
