with you very quickly before I bring up our Tenacious

13
00:00:51,880 --> 00:00:56,479
Tuesday host Barber arn Wine. How I concluded, I concluded

14
00:00:56,560 --> 00:01:00,159
with a how Doctor Howard Thurman began and opened his book.

15
00:01:00,200 --> 00:01:03,479
He talked about his family in the deep Ryal South,

16
00:01:03,600 --> 00:01:06,560
having pulled together all of the moneies that they could

17
00:01:06,560 --> 00:01:11,560
find because they wanted one child in the Jim Crow

18
00:01:11,599 --> 00:01:15,239
era as sharecroppers to be able to go to school

19
00:01:15,239 --> 00:01:17,920
and to go to college. So they pulled together their

20
00:01:17,959 --> 00:01:21,680
pennies and their nickels and their quarters, and they bought

21
00:01:21,680 --> 00:01:24,640
doctor Thurman a ticket, a ticket on a train to

22
00:01:24,719 --> 00:01:30,239
Daytona Fort, Florida, where they were allowing colored children to

23
00:01:30,280 --> 00:01:33,799
be talked. Doctor Thurman took his ticket, and he took

24
00:01:33,840 --> 00:01:37,640
his trunk, and he put all of his important items

25
00:01:37,640 --> 00:01:40,079
of his life, the broken pieces of his life, his memories,

26
00:01:40,079 --> 00:01:41,319
and he put them all in a trunk and he

27
00:01:41,439 --> 00:01:43,799
aded to the train station. And when he got there,

28
00:01:43,840 --> 00:01:47,719
he presented his ticket, but the ticket agent or the

29
00:01:47,760 --> 00:01:51,799
conductor refused to let his bag on the train, the

30
00:01:51,879 --> 00:01:54,200
train of all the bag with all of his memories.

31
00:01:55,040 --> 00:01:56,959
So he went over into the corner of the train

32
00:01:57,000 --> 00:02:02,200
station and he began crying. It was a devastating moment

33
00:02:02,239 --> 00:02:04,640
for him because he had lost hope. He had concluded

34
00:02:04,680 --> 00:02:06,879
that he was not going to go to college because

35
00:02:06,879 --> 00:02:10,599
he did not want to leave his trunk. So, staring

36
00:02:10,680 --> 00:02:14,199
deep into a puddle of tears and saliva and yes, mucus,

37
00:02:14,360 --> 00:02:18,639
he was drained. Everything was draining. When he wiped away

38
00:02:18,680 --> 00:02:20,240
the tears from his eyes, and he looked up and

39
00:02:20,280 --> 00:02:23,639
he saw a rustic, old pair of brown, beat up

40
00:02:23,680 --> 00:02:26,719
boots and he looked from the floor and kept looking

41
00:02:26,800 --> 00:02:29,120
up and saw a man standing there and overalls that

42
00:02:29,159 --> 00:02:32,439
were tattered as well, and the young the old man

43
00:02:32,479 --> 00:02:36,120
said to him, boy was wrong with you? And he said,

44
00:02:37,159 --> 00:02:39,319
I got a ticket to go to Daytona to go

45
00:02:39,360 --> 00:02:43,800
to school and go to college. But I can't take

46
00:02:43,800 --> 00:02:45,960
my trunk. I don't have a ticket for my trunk,

47
00:02:46,000 --> 00:02:47,680
so I've changed my mind. I'm not going to go.

48
00:02:48,599 --> 00:02:50,560
The man reached into his pocket, pulled out a little

49
00:02:50,639 --> 00:02:54,800
leather sack with a drawstring, and pulled out a few

50
00:02:54,800 --> 00:02:57,319
coins and went to the ticket agent and he bought

51
00:02:57,599 --> 00:03:03,879
a ticket for Howard Thurman's bag is trunk. Howard Thurman

52
00:03:05,159 --> 00:03:08,439
dedicated his book to that man. When he got on

53
00:03:08,479 --> 00:03:10,479
that train, he walked to the back of the train,

54
00:03:10,520 --> 00:03:13,400
and all he remembers is the man walking in the

55
00:03:13,439 --> 00:03:16,800
opposite direction on the train tracks as the train was

56
00:03:16,800 --> 00:03:19,879
pulling away. He said he never got the man's name.

57
00:03:21,120 --> 00:03:24,039
He dedicated his book with Head and Heart to a

58
00:03:24,080 --> 00:03:28,199
man that he called the Stranger, and he thanked him

59
00:03:28,199 --> 00:03:32,520
for restoring his hope. Doctor Howard Thurman would go on

60
00:03:32,639 --> 00:03:35,919
to become a spiritual leader and guide to the late

61
00:03:35,960 --> 00:03:39,240
Martin Luther King Junior, And in this moment, I can't

62
00:03:39,240 --> 00:03:42,439
help but think that we need to pay more attention

63
00:03:43,240 --> 00:03:47,120
to the strangers in our lives, those who are nameless

64
00:03:47,439 --> 00:03:51,919
and faceless, because in my opinion, the stranger is God.

65
00:03:52,840 --> 00:03:55,639
God intervened in Howard Thurman's life at just the right time,

66
00:03:56,280 --> 00:03:59,120
and he went on to become the architect of our

67
00:03:59,400 --> 00:04:02,960
liberation faith. I'm very honored in this hour. The Barbara Arnwine,

68
00:04:03,039 --> 00:04:06,960
President and founder the Transformative Justice Coalition, internationally renowned for

69
00:04:07,000 --> 00:04:09,919
contributions on critical justice issues, including the passage of the

70
00:04:09,960 --> 00:04:12,520
landmark Civil Rights Act of nineteen ninety one and the

71
00:04:12,560 --> 00:04:16,040
two thousand and six reauthorization provisions of the Voting Rights Act,

72
00:04:16,120 --> 00:04:19,240
is our very special guest, Attorney Arnwine, Welcome forward to

73
00:04:19,240 --> 00:04:20,600
the Jesse Jackson Junior Show.

74
00:04:21,079 --> 00:04:22,600
Speaker 2: It's great to be here.

75
00:04:23,000 --> 00:04:26,560
Speaker 3: Good evening, good afternoon. It's just wonderful to be here.

76
00:04:26,759 --> 00:04:29,720
Speaker 1: I am so grateful that you're here, doctor Arnwine. Attorney

77
00:04:29,720 --> 00:04:31,839
Barbara Arnwine, tell us what's going on in the world

78
00:04:31,879 --> 00:04:33,079
and what we should be focusing on.

79
00:04:33,399 --> 00:04:36,480
Speaker 3: Well, first of all, thank you for that Howard Thurman story.

80
00:04:36,519 --> 00:04:40,199
I had never heard that one, and it's beautiful and

81
00:04:40,279 --> 00:04:46,279
it's so instructive to all of us about the importance

82
00:04:46,319 --> 00:04:49,240
of strangers. You know, in the Biblical times, it was

83
00:04:49,319 --> 00:04:56,399
considered simple right to treat strangers poorly and you were

84
00:04:56,480 --> 00:05:02,959
required to show some so uh, you know, care compassion

85
00:05:03,240 --> 00:05:06,839
for strangers. That's why the road of Somarthia, right, it

86
00:05:06,959 --> 00:05:10,560
is always talked about in the uh you know, in

87
00:05:10,560 --> 00:05:14,360
the biblical tradition. Uh So that's just so powerful. I

88
00:05:14,439 --> 00:05:15,360
just loved that story.

89
00:05:15,560 --> 00:05:18,079
Speaker 2: And he was going to Daytona. So what he was going.

90
00:05:17,879 --> 00:05:22,319
Speaker 3: To to uh be you know at one of the

91
00:05:22,439 --> 00:05:26,360
amazing you know schools that we know we're founded, you know,

92
00:05:26,480 --> 00:05:30,279
thereby you know, some of our incredible you know leaders.

93
00:05:30,319 --> 00:05:32,680
Speaker 2: So it's it's just quite quite the story.

94
00:05:34,040 --> 00:05:38,519
Speaker 3: I I have been, of course, thinking about doctor King.

95
00:05:39,879 --> 00:05:41,480
Speaker 2: And Coretta Scott King.

96
00:05:42,720 --> 00:05:47,240
Speaker 3: I've been thinking about them with such a passion this

97
00:05:47,319 --> 00:05:55,399
week because last week your president decided to disrespect everybody right.

98
00:05:55,560 --> 00:05:59,759
The first thing he did was he declared, uh publicly

99
00:06:00,480 --> 00:06:05,800
that the Civil Rights Act of nineteen sixty four nineties

100
00:06:05,959 --> 00:06:08,480
and the Voting Rights Act in nineteen sixty five fair

101
00:06:08,519 --> 00:06:09,680
housing activ.

102
00:06:21,920 --> 00:06:27,160
Speaker 1: And information that worked.

103
00:06:25,360 --> 00:06:29,120
Speaker 2: By his timing, by he would use this opportunity so

104
00:06:29,319 --> 00:06:36,000
close to this holiday to make such a races statement.

105
00:06:36,600 --> 00:06:37,800
And folks, the.

106
00:06:37,800 --> 00:06:41,040
Speaker 3: Reason why I say is it's ridiculous is that if

107
00:06:41,079 --> 00:06:43,879
you know anything about employment law, which is you know,

108
00:06:43,879 --> 00:06:46,759
a big part of the nineteen sixty four Civil Rights Act,

109
00:06:46,879 --> 00:06:50,519
the Title seven, you'll know that it's helped too.

110
00:06:56,759 --> 00:06:58,959
Speaker 1: Your show on k Bilge Look fifteen eighty, we're going

111
00:06:59,000 --> 00:07:01,160
to talk about Trump and what he did last week

112
00:07:01,360 --> 00:07:03,800
with Barbara Arnwe more on KBLA Talk fifteen eighty when

113
00:07:03,839 --> 00:07:06,480
we come forward. Our very special guest on Tenacious Tuesday

114
00:07:06,560 --> 00:07:09,360
is Barbara Arnwine, the president and founder of the Transformative

115
00:07:09,399 --> 00:07:12,759
Justice Coalition. Just before we came forward, you were talking

116
00:07:12,759 --> 00:07:16,519
about the president's speech and comments that he made. I

117
00:07:16,519 --> 00:07:19,639
believe he also tweeted it as well. Yes, a direct

118
00:07:19,680 --> 00:07:22,079
attacked on nineteen sixty four Civil Rights Act, the Voting

119
00:07:22,160 --> 00:07:27,040
Rights Act, as well as the open housing legislation. Yes,

120
00:07:27,720 --> 00:07:29,480
jewels of the civil rights movement.

121
00:07:30,079 --> 00:07:33,199
Speaker 3: And he was making it very clear that he was

122
00:07:33,240 --> 00:07:37,040
playing the zero sum game. He was telling white Americas

123
00:07:37,360 --> 00:07:40,800
that somehow these acts had harmed them, that they were

124
00:07:40,879 --> 00:07:42,519
quote bad for white people.

125
00:07:42,800 --> 00:07:43,360
Speaker 2: He lied.

126
00:07:44,279 --> 00:07:48,839
Speaker 3: He lied because first of all, his comments were just

127
00:07:48,959 --> 00:07:52,120
meant to be racially divisive he was trying to make

128
00:07:52,199 --> 00:07:57,680
white people resent black people and make impositive himself with

129
00:07:57,800 --> 00:08:00,680
somehow their great white Hope, the great Savior.

130
00:08:01,720 --> 00:08:06,959
Speaker 2: But his premise is just factually inaccurate.

131
00:08:07,040 --> 00:08:12,600
Speaker 3: Because white women were some of the biggest benefish series

132
00:08:13,319 --> 00:08:16,639
of the Civil Rights Act of nineteen sixty four because

133
00:08:16,639 --> 00:08:21,759
it covered race, age, national origin, sex.

134
00:08:22,600 --> 00:08:25,879
Speaker 2: So people got to understand that.

135
00:08:26,079 --> 00:08:31,879
Speaker 3: It also required Entitled seven that any job criteria had

136
00:08:31,920 --> 00:08:33,120
to be job related.

137
00:08:33,519 --> 00:08:38,039
Speaker 2: Guess who that benefited, not just white women, it benefited

138
00:08:38,080 --> 00:08:40,879
white men. Think about it.

139
00:08:40,919 --> 00:08:43,919
Speaker 3: When I grew up, if you wanted to be a

140
00:08:43,960 --> 00:08:48,759
police officer, they insisted that you be what at least

141
00:08:48,799 --> 00:08:55,039
five eleven six feet tall, and it was you know quote.

142
00:08:55,159 --> 00:08:59,919
They felt that was more intimidating to people on the street.

143
00:09:00,480 --> 00:09:04,360
So even white men who were shorter than that couldn't

144
00:09:04,360 --> 00:09:07,000
get a job, not get a job.

145
00:09:07,320 --> 00:09:08,960
Speaker 1: Yeah, I want to share that. I would have shared

146
00:09:08,960 --> 00:09:11,600
that because Dad and I often laugh at that particular

147
00:09:11,639 --> 00:09:15,000
application of the law. Yes, let me expound upon that.

148
00:09:15,080 --> 00:09:18,000
Do you realize that short white men could not be

149
00:09:18,120 --> 00:09:22,480
state troopers in Alabama and and Texas and louis in

150
00:09:22,600 --> 00:09:26,440
Georgia and the Deep South because they were short? Right?

151
00:09:26,840 --> 00:09:29,159
They had a requirement and you had to be six

152
00:09:29,279 --> 00:09:34,039
feet plus or taller and top more over people in

153
00:09:34,240 --> 00:09:36,919
order to be a state trooper. Now, what kind of

154
00:09:37,039 --> 00:09:41,279
qualification is that other than that the Civil Rights Act

155
00:09:41,320 --> 00:09:45,440
of nineteen sixty four and that subsequent legislation laid the

156
00:09:45,480 --> 00:09:50,000
foundation for them to have a claim of discrimination based

157
00:09:50,000 --> 00:09:55,159
on their height or base their weight. Doesn't just benefit

158
00:09:55,240 --> 00:09:57,960
black people. It made America better.

159
00:09:58,519 --> 00:10:02,840
Speaker 3: It made so many need people better, including American with disabilities,

160
00:10:03,360 --> 00:10:06,320
because people had all these rights, They had all these

161
00:10:06,559 --> 00:10:11,399
really bizarre notions about who was best for jobs, and

162
00:10:11,440 --> 00:10:15,360
they had nothing to do with their capabilities and their abilities.

163
00:10:15,799 --> 00:10:20,360
And so, you know, prior to the pre nineteen sixty

164
00:10:20,399 --> 00:10:26,519
four civil rights era was one of massive non meritocracy,

165
00:10:27,279 --> 00:10:32,919
massive non you know competence in you know, uh, you know, incompetence,

166
00:10:33,320 --> 00:10:35,360
and people just don't understand that.

167
00:10:35,840 --> 00:10:40,080
Speaker 2: And so you know, he just totally missed, miss talked

168
00:10:40,720 --> 00:10:42,720
that era. You know, by the way, when we were

169
00:10:42,720 --> 00:10:45,559
talking about howd Thurman I was, it was Mary.

170
00:10:45,360 --> 00:10:49,559
Speaker 3: McLeod mccoon's university that he probably was headed to the

171
00:10:49,679 --> 00:10:50,519
Daytona Beach.

172
00:10:50,559 --> 00:10:52,639
Speaker 2: How I just had to you know, put that up.

173
00:10:52,679 --> 00:10:57,480
Speaker 3: Of course, during the break because Mary McLeod was so amazing,

174
00:10:58,039 --> 00:11:00,639
uh and so committed to education your people.

175
00:11:02,000 --> 00:11:05,840
Speaker 1: I'm I'm I'm thinking also that uh that, Barbara, we

176
00:11:05,919 --> 00:11:10,000
have to give some consideration in light of our reflection

177
00:11:10,080 --> 00:11:13,919
on Martin Luther King Junior, that what's taking place in

178
00:11:13,919 --> 00:11:18,679
South America, from Cuba to Haiti, to Colombia to Venezuela,

179
00:11:19,120 --> 00:11:22,399
even the attacks on Nigeria and now the president's desire

180
00:11:22,639 --> 00:11:26,919
to it feeling it feels inevitable that he's going to

181
00:11:26,960 --> 00:11:29,399
provide some kind of military action in Greenland. Barbara, bring

182
00:11:29,519 --> 00:11:30,759
us up to date on your thoughts on that.

183
00:11:31,639 --> 00:11:35,440
Speaker 3: Yes, a couple of things everyone. First of all, I

184
00:11:35,480 --> 00:11:39,639
wish I had a picture and Gena, if you do,

185
00:11:39,799 --> 00:11:43,840
please share it. Doctor Martin Luther King getting his Nobel

186
00:11:43,879 --> 00:11:48,639
Peace Prize, uh, because somebody else we know don't.

187
00:11:48,399 --> 00:11:53,399
Speaker 2: Have one, losing his little mind over.

188
00:11:53,200 --> 00:11:58,799
Speaker 4: It and even even playing geo political politics on the

189
00:11:58,840 --> 00:12:01,960
basis of does he get a little Nobel prize try

190
00:12:02,000 --> 00:12:03,559
to steal somebody else's right?

191
00:12:04,200 --> 00:12:04,320
Speaker 5: Uh?

192
00:12:04,480 --> 00:12:04,720
Speaker 6: You know.

193
00:12:04,799 --> 00:12:08,159
Speaker 3: So I just want people to understand that, you know,

194
00:12:08,240 --> 00:12:12,200
one of my favorite speeches is, in fact doctor King's

195
00:12:12,240 --> 00:12:16,720
acceptance speech for the Nobel Prize Peace Prize why is

196
00:12:16,799 --> 00:12:21,000
that important? Please go listen to that speech. He talks

197
00:12:21,039 --> 00:12:25,480
about that. You know, he talks in at length about

198
00:12:25,840 --> 00:12:29,000
the fact that he's accepting that prize not for himself,

199
00:12:29,879 --> 00:12:34,879
but he's accepting it for all the people who suffered

200
00:12:35,320 --> 00:12:39,360
and fought for the for civil rights, all the people

201
00:12:39,399 --> 00:12:42,120
who were in the streets. He talks about those who

202
00:12:42,120 --> 00:12:45,000
were killed, He talks about those who were maimed and injured.

203
00:12:45,000 --> 00:12:48,159
He talks about the water hosing of you know people

204
00:12:48,279 --> 00:12:52,559
by these evil you know forces, police forces. He talks

205
00:12:52,600 --> 00:12:55,039
about the beings. He talks about all of that, and

206
00:12:55,039 --> 00:12:57,440
he said, these are the people, this is who I

207
00:12:57,519 --> 00:12:59,960
accept this award for because they're the ones who get.

208
00:12:59,799 --> 00:13:03,440
Speaker 2: All this work, and I'm just a figurehead, a spokesperson.

209
00:13:03,679 --> 00:13:07,759
Speaker 3: He's very clear about it. He also takes his time

210
00:13:07,799 --> 00:13:10,559
in that speech to talk about the truth. You know,

211
00:13:10,720 --> 00:13:15,200
what he's called many times the three triplets of evil,

212
00:13:15,919 --> 00:13:22,120
and that's racism, militarism, and materialism. Yes, and he spends

213
00:13:22,200 --> 00:13:28,600
a lot of time on militarism and American colonialism and

214
00:13:28,759 --> 00:13:33,279
European colonialism, and he even talks about the struggle against

215
00:13:33,600 --> 00:13:38,600
apartheid in South Africa, and that speech he talks about

216
00:13:38,879 --> 00:13:44,679
humanity's need to stop being so you know, greedy, you know,

217
00:13:44,879 --> 00:13:49,399
and enslaving. People are pressing people because you want their resources, right,

218
00:13:49,879 --> 00:13:53,320
you want their mineral resources. He talks about this, and

219
00:13:53,360 --> 00:13:58,519
he talks about the cruelty of your colonial and settler behavior.

220
00:13:58,919 --> 00:14:03,200
Speaker 2: So I won't go read that speech because when you

221
00:14:03,240 --> 00:14:04,399
read the speech or you.

222
00:14:04,360 --> 00:14:09,080
Speaker 3: Listen to it, you realize what Deveezuela is about, because

223
00:14:09,279 --> 00:14:11,399
that brings it fully home.

224
00:14:11,600 --> 00:14:13,759
Speaker 2: I mean you're like, you know, as they said the law,

225
00:14:14,000 --> 00:14:16,159
I had to connect it up, you know, because you're like,

226
00:14:16,200 --> 00:14:17,519
where's she going with all this?

227
00:14:18,799 --> 00:14:24,440
Speaker 3: Because you know that militarism is what is driving the US.

228
00:14:24,600 --> 00:14:27,320
Is that you know, we quote have military power. I

229
00:14:27,360 --> 00:14:30,720
want everybody to know something. Who is the largest military

230
00:14:30,879 --> 00:14:32,120
force in the world.

231
00:14:33,080 --> 00:14:34,799
Speaker 2: Think about it, Think.

232
00:14:34,679 --> 00:14:41,159
Speaker 1: About the United States? The United States by multiples? No, no, okay.

233
00:14:40,960 --> 00:14:44,720
Speaker 3: No, it's I mean, and I understand that if you

234
00:14:44,720 --> 00:14:49,080
go nation by nation, yes, the combined forces of NATAL

235
00:14:49,240 --> 00:14:53,799
are the largest military force in the whole world. I mean,

236
00:14:53,879 --> 00:15:00,000
that's what everybody misses. Why do you think he's attacking Greenland?

237
00:15:00,120 --> 00:15:01,559
Speaker 2: It's for the resources.

238
00:15:01,919 --> 00:15:04,799
Speaker 3: I you know, told you guys months ago, a year ago,

239
00:15:04,840 --> 00:15:07,960
about Peter till it is worn in Greenland and all

240
00:15:08,039 --> 00:15:11,440
this madness and uh and about you know jd Vance,

241
00:15:11,440 --> 00:15:14,679
who's depending on teal and why he was the first

242
00:15:14,720 --> 00:15:18,120
trip he took what was to Greenland and all of this.

243
00:15:18,600 --> 00:15:23,080
But there's another thing that we got to understand, the

244
00:15:23,279 --> 00:15:27,519
unraveling of Natal. Who benefits from the unraveling a natal?

245
00:15:28,559 --> 00:15:31,159
It's not just the US occupying Greenland.

246
00:15:31,240 --> 00:15:32,360
Speaker 2: Who benefits from.

247
00:15:32,279 --> 00:15:33,519
Speaker 6: The unraveling of Natal?

248
00:15:34,399 --> 00:15:36,480
Speaker 2: Mm one pool ten.

249
00:15:37,159 --> 00:15:42,279
Speaker 1: Yeah, absolutely, Pu. You know, bro, let me ask you

250
00:15:42,320 --> 00:15:45,320
a question about about that same speech, since we're right

251
00:15:45,320 --> 00:15:51,039
there at beyond a time to speak. Yes, I did

252
00:15:51,080 --> 00:15:53,000
a little research. You can google it, and I hope

253
00:15:53,000 --> 00:15:55,480
that the listeners will google it. Ask the question, what

254
00:15:55,639 --> 00:15:59,399
was the Dow Jones industrial average at the end of

255
00:15:59,440 --> 00:16:02,919
nineteen eighty It should say four or four four hundred

256
00:16:02,960 --> 00:16:06,639
and four. Ask what the Dow Jones industrial average was

257
00:16:06,679 --> 00:16:11,000
at the hour of Martin Luther King Junior's death. Should

258
00:16:11,039 --> 00:16:14,639
be around seven I think one thousand. I think one thousand.

259
00:16:16,039 --> 00:16:18,440
At the beginning of the Reagan administration, the Dow Jones

260
00:16:18,480 --> 00:16:24,440
industrial average seven thousand. At the end of the Obama administration,

261
00:16:24,480 --> 00:16:27,720
the Dow Jones industrial average nineteen thousand, and this is

262
00:16:27,720 --> 00:16:31,840
the indicator for the US economy today. Today. Last Friday,

263
00:16:33,080 --> 00:16:36,360
the Dow Jones closed at forty nine thousand.

264
00:16:36,799 --> 00:16:37,440
Speaker 6: That's correct.

265
00:16:37,919 --> 00:16:40,159
Speaker 1: And I'm going to say this because I believe we

266
00:16:40,240 --> 00:16:44,480
have reached a tipping point Historically, in this two hundred

267
00:16:44,480 --> 00:16:48,879
and fiftieth anniversary of the Declaration of Independence, the Constitution

268
00:16:49,039 --> 00:16:53,360
has guided the economy in the direction of human rights

269
00:16:53,399 --> 00:16:57,639
that benefit all of the American people. It has benefited

270
00:16:57,679 --> 00:17:01,200
people around the world, but it's certainly prioritize the American people.

271
00:17:02,759 --> 00:17:05,799
The new technology which doctor King also talks about in

272
00:17:05,839 --> 00:17:10,880
that speech, computers and machinery have now reached the point

273
00:17:11,440 --> 00:17:16,119
that the profit maximization system of the United States does

274
00:17:16,160 --> 00:17:21,119
not need people any longer in order to maximize profit.

275
00:17:22,440 --> 00:17:26,440
So when the down Jones hits sixty thousand and some

276
00:17:26,559 --> 00:17:33,720
of us celebrate, or seventy thousand or eighty thousand, a

277
00:17:33,839 --> 00:17:37,599
smaller number of people are going to be operating the

278
00:17:37,640 --> 00:17:41,920
most efficient businesses in human history, and they don't need

279
00:17:42,039 --> 00:17:48,839
people to operate them. That's a real problem, yes, or civilization.

280
00:17:49,559 --> 00:17:55,000
That's a problem for our moral code. Making revolution in

281
00:17:55,039 --> 00:18:00,119
the United States inevitable as people can't get a sand

282
00:18:00,240 --> 00:18:02,720
and can't get a lot of red, and can't afford

283
00:18:02,759 --> 00:18:07,119
their mortgages, and can't afford to put their children through school.

284
00:18:07,200 --> 00:18:13,039
When our quality inevitability until the Congress of the United States,

285
00:18:13,119 --> 00:18:17,920
the Senate, the courts reign the economic system in in

286
00:18:17,960 --> 00:18:20,880
the direction of human rights for all of the American people.

287
00:18:21,000 --> 00:18:22,680
Speaker 3: Barbara, Oh, you said it.

288
00:18:22,759 --> 00:18:23,400
Speaker 2: You said it.

289
00:18:23,440 --> 00:18:26,359
Speaker 3: I mean, I don't know if people saw it, but

290
00:18:26,599 --> 00:18:30,480
please look up Elon Musk's his speech from last week

291
00:18:30,880 --> 00:18:35,759
where he talks about this very issue and he tells

292
00:18:35,880 --> 00:18:39,440
people has learned to tell people don't save up for retirement.

293
00:18:39,440 --> 00:18:40,720
Speaker 2: Did you see that?

294
00:18:40,720 --> 00:18:41,559
Speaker 1: That's what he said.

295
00:18:41,720 --> 00:18:45,160
Speaker 3: He said, don't save up for retirement because you know,

296
00:18:45,640 --> 00:18:49,799
we're gonna have robots doing everything and everybody's gonna be okay.

297
00:18:49,839 --> 00:18:53,000
And I'm going, huh, how what what are.

298
00:18:53,039 --> 00:18:54,039
Speaker 2: You talking about?

299
00:18:55,119 --> 00:18:58,720
Speaker 3: You know, all of this stuff, because he but he

300
00:18:58,880 --> 00:19:04,319
was talking about this people. Every time the unemployment rate

301
00:19:05,160 --> 00:19:11,119
goes up, the dow goes up. It's it's one of

302
00:19:11,119 --> 00:19:14,240
those you know things. They don't they don't listen. They're

303
00:19:14,279 --> 00:19:18,759
not about everybody being employed. They're about you know, making

304
00:19:18,799 --> 00:19:21,440
as much money as they can. They're so happy about

305
00:19:21,440 --> 00:19:25,279
this whole Venezuela madness. And you know, there's a little

306
00:19:25,279 --> 00:19:27,720
bit on the fence about Greenland because they know what

307
00:19:27,759 --> 00:19:31,240
it means if natal disbands or you know, gets shredded.

308
00:19:32,039 --> 00:19:35,000
Speaker 2: So there's a lot, you know, going on there.

309
00:19:35,359 --> 00:19:38,160
Speaker 3: But I just think that in this country, I was

310
00:19:38,200 --> 00:19:41,680
reading these stats, we have what three hundred and thirty

311
00:19:41,920 --> 00:19:47,559
plus million people, twenty two million of those folks, I

312
00:19:47,599 --> 00:19:51,440
have a networth of at least a million dollar, and

313
00:19:51,720 --> 00:19:58,640
nine hundred and two people are billionaires. Nine hundred and

314
00:19:58,880 --> 00:20:04,079
two people in the United States are billionaires.

315
00:20:06,839 --> 00:20:08,319
Speaker 2: Come on, think about it.

316
00:20:08,720 --> 00:20:12,880
Speaker 1: Yeah, the upward tift of income and wealth in that

317
00:20:12,960 --> 00:20:19,039
direction has us constantly battling with members of our representatives,

318
00:20:19,039 --> 00:20:23,519
of our House of Representatives, asking for more and more benefits.

319
00:20:23,680 --> 00:20:27,200
Remember now, the Affordable Care Act, which covers forty four

320
00:20:27,319 --> 00:20:32,119
million people. Yes, are people who work every day but

321
00:20:32,200 --> 00:20:37,200
can't afford healthcare. So the Affordable Care Act directs healthcare

322
00:20:37,240 --> 00:20:40,640
in the direction of more coverage. Yes, we need dental,

323
00:20:41,359 --> 00:20:44,799
we need vision, we need hearing. The Affordable Care Act

324
00:20:45,000 --> 00:20:48,400
does not cover a lot, but it wasn't meant just

325
00:20:48,440 --> 00:20:51,400
to be static. It was meant to be improved upon

326
00:20:52,160 --> 00:20:55,880
and expanded to include more coverage so that more working

327
00:20:55,920 --> 00:21:00,440
Americans could experience the benefits of the system. Yes, the

328
00:21:00,200 --> 00:21:04,319
supplemental Nutrition Assistance program. Yes, we're working one, two and

329
00:21:04,440 --> 00:21:08,319
three jobs and still can't afford to eat. These numbers

330
00:21:08,359 --> 00:21:12,079
are going to expand, and they're going to expand drastically.

331
00:21:12,759 --> 00:21:15,960
If in fact, we do not have a government of

332
00:21:16,200 --> 00:21:19,279
for and by the people, not a government of for

333
00:21:19,440 --> 00:21:24,640
and by computers and algorithms, but for the people, were people.

334
00:21:25,319 --> 00:21:32,640
Speaker 7: And government of all the guards, of all of ours,

335
00:21:32,960 --> 00:21:35,400
all of guards, all of guards.

336
00:21:35,440 --> 00:21:38,759
Speaker 3: All they care about is making money. I mean, come on,

337
00:21:38,799 --> 00:21:41,640
they're going to support making anybody.

338
00:21:41,759 --> 00:21:43,640
Speaker 1: That's all they do. I'm Jesse Jackson Junior listening to

339
00:21:43,640 --> 00:21:46,119
the Jesse Jackson Junior Show on KBL Talk fifteen eighty more.

340
00:21:46,119 --> 00:21:48,240
When we come forward with Barbara on Wine or did

341
00:21:48,240 --> 00:21:50,680
the Jesse Jackson Junior Show, We're on the grind with

342
00:21:50,799 --> 00:21:53,880
Barbara arn Wine and Barbara before we return to the conversation,

343
00:21:55,240 --> 00:22:00,000
we're still waiting for the Kalai decision. Yes, are you

344
00:22:00,000 --> 00:22:02,319
at it shortly? Are you expecting it this week or

345
00:22:02,359 --> 00:22:03,079
maybe next week?

346
00:22:03,599 --> 00:22:05,640
Speaker 2: No, it's not clear.

347
00:22:06,640 --> 00:22:12,920
Speaker 3: They did issue two other decisions today. Then they were yes,

348
00:22:13,000 --> 00:22:17,400
and they were a unanimous decisions. So the court so

349
00:22:18,240 --> 00:22:22,559
non we're voting, but it's telling that they did issue

350
00:22:22,759 --> 00:22:27,519
that means what they've issued our five decisions now, so

351
00:22:28,079 --> 00:22:33,519
it's everybody is on their pins and needles over Trump

352
00:22:33,640 --> 00:22:36,920
versus Cook argument tomorrow, the oral argument.

353
00:22:36,640 --> 00:22:37,240
Speaker 2: In that case.

354
00:22:37,279 --> 00:22:40,680
Speaker 3: Will you know Trump versus Lisa Cook, That argument will

355
00:22:40,720 --> 00:22:41,880
be tomorrow.

356
00:22:42,640 --> 00:22:45,599
Speaker 2: But and people are just talking about the tariff's case.

357
00:22:46,000 --> 00:22:46,720
So it may be.

358
00:22:47,200 --> 00:22:51,799
Speaker 3: Remember when the court does something that is absolutely horrific

359
00:22:52,480 --> 00:22:55,279
that they know is gonna make people scream and holler

360
00:22:55,559 --> 00:22:59,920
and go to the polls and vote and just be outraged.

361
00:23:00,559 --> 00:23:07,440
They hold those decisions until until the very last opinion

362
00:23:07,519 --> 00:23:10,920
issuing date of the term usually you know, July first

363
00:23:11,039 --> 00:23:13,839
or whatever, because they know people aren't paying attention.

364
00:23:14,200 --> 00:23:16,759
Speaker 1: So we've got a minute, Barbara, Since we got a minute,

365
00:23:16,759 --> 00:23:18,880
I want we want to go to a clip based

366
00:23:18,920 --> 00:23:22,079
on our last conversation h that Genia was able to

367
00:23:22,200 --> 00:23:24,079
pull up. Based upon your request.

368
00:23:40,799 --> 00:23:53,920
Speaker 5: Your Majesty, Your Royal Highness, Mister President, Excellences, ladies and gentlemen,

369
00:23:57,480 --> 00:24:04,960
I accept the Nobel for peace. At a moment when

370
00:24:05,160 --> 00:24:12,519
twenty two million Negroes of the United States are engaged

371
00:24:12,599 --> 00:24:17,799
in a creative battle to end the long night of

372
00:24:17,960 --> 00:24:24,839
racial injustice. I accept this award on behalf of a

373
00:24:24,880 --> 00:24:34,319
civil rights movement which is moving with determination and a

374
00:24:34,400 --> 00:24:41,599
majestic scorn for risk and danger to establish a reign

375
00:24:41,720 --> 00:24:47,920
of freedom and a rule of justice. I'm mindful that

376
00:24:48,079 --> 00:24:55,279
only yesterday in Birmingham, Alabama, our children crying out for

377
00:24:55,440 --> 00:25:03,720
brotherhood were answered with fire, snarling dogs, and even death.

378
00:25:06,279 --> 00:25:13,000
I am mindful that only yesterday in Philadelphia, Mississippi, young

379
00:25:13,119 --> 00:25:19,400
people seeking to secure the right to vote were brutalized

380
00:25:19,519 --> 00:25:29,640
and murdered. I'm mindful that debilitating and grinding poverty afflicts

381
00:25:29,960 --> 00:25:35,880
my people and chains him to the lowest rung of

382
00:25:35,920 --> 00:25:43,319
the economic latter. Therefore, I must ask why this prize

383
00:25:43,400 --> 00:25:48,480
is awarded to a movement which is beleaguered and committed

384
00:25:48,559 --> 00:25:54,480
to unrelenting struggle, to a movement which has not yet

385
00:25:54,519 --> 00:25:59,160
won the very peace and brotherhood which is the essence

386
00:25:59,240 --> 00:26:09,240
of the Nobel Prize. After contemplation, I conclude that this award,

387
00:26:09,440 --> 00:26:15,559
which I receive on behal for that movement, is a

388
00:26:15,799 --> 00:26:22,960
profound recognition that nonviolence is the answer to the crucial

389
00:26:23,079 --> 00:26:28,319
political and moral questions of our time, the need for

390
00:26:28,440 --> 00:26:34,400
man to overcome oppression and violence without resorting to violence

391
00:26:34,799 --> 00:26:44,160
and oppression. Civilization and violence are antithetical concepts. Negroes of

392
00:26:44,200 --> 00:26:52,400
the United States, following the people of India, have demonstrated

393
00:26:52,480 --> 00:26:59,599
that nonviolence is not sterile passivity, but a powerful moral

394
00:26:59,720 --> 00:27:09,599
force which makes for social transformation. Sooner or later, all

395
00:27:09,680 --> 00:27:13,759
the peoples of the world will have to discover a

396
00:27:13,839 --> 00:27:19,279
way to live together in peace and thereby transform this

397
00:27:19,559 --> 00:27:27,000
pending cosmic elogy into a creative psalm of brotherhood. This

398
00:27:27,079 --> 00:27:32,920
is to be achieved. Man must evolve for all human

399
00:27:33,079 --> 00:27:41,599
conflict a method which rejects revenge, aggression, and retaliation. The

400
00:27:41,680 --> 00:27:44,400
foundation of such a method is love.

401
00:27:47,960 --> 00:27:48,880
Speaker 3: My my life.

402
00:27:49,519 --> 00:28:00,799
Speaker 6: Thank you, Gina Barbara.

403
00:28:00,799 --> 00:28:07,119
Speaker 1: We've never had a leader like that. The tone, the tenor,

404
00:28:07,200 --> 00:28:10,960
the audience, the mobile community was paying attention to our

405
00:28:11,039 --> 00:28:15,319
movement and our struggle at that hour. I'm wondering, in

406
00:28:15,400 --> 00:28:19,680
this moment if the great dissenters in the United States

407
00:28:19,759 --> 00:28:23,240
and the great resistance movement that exists within the United

408
00:28:23,240 --> 00:28:26,839
States can pick up the mantle of the tone and

409
00:28:26,880 --> 00:28:31,720
the tenor of Doctor King's mass demand for nonviolent action.

410
00:28:32,640 --> 00:28:35,559
At an hour when our very liberties are at stake.

411
00:28:35,799 --> 00:28:38,200
Speaker 6: Barbara, my bye, mine, buye my.

412
00:28:38,960 --> 00:28:42,240
Speaker 8: I mean that speech gives me chills. I'm sorry, it

413
00:28:42,359 --> 00:28:46,640
just gives me chills to think about it, because just

414
00:28:46,759 --> 00:28:49,160
look at you have the contrast of values.

415
00:28:49,279 --> 00:28:52,720
Speaker 3: Right. You got a president in the White House who

416
00:28:52,839 --> 00:28:58,519
is proud to take somebody else's mobile prize, who wants

417
00:28:58,680 --> 00:29:04,279
everything that he never worked for, who is detegrating the people?

418
00:29:04,680 --> 00:29:04,880
Speaker 6: You know.

419
00:29:05,240 --> 00:29:08,359
Speaker 3: I want to do a shout out if you allow

420
00:29:08,480 --> 00:29:14,880
me to some young people who last week were brutally

421
00:29:15,039 --> 00:29:22,079
treated in North Carolina as they fought to just get

422
00:29:22,079 --> 00:29:27,000
a polling site on their campus. I want to talk

423
00:29:27,119 --> 00:29:31,920
about the students of North Carolina, A and t am

424
00:29:32,759 --> 00:29:38,319
and your dad's college, your college college, and my sister.

425
00:29:38,599 --> 00:29:40,079
Speaker 6: There you go, there you go.

426
00:29:41,480 --> 00:29:49,240
Speaker 2: So they had a petitioned their local county government for.

427
00:29:49,440 --> 00:29:53,680
Speaker 3: A polling site for early vote I mean, for you know,

428
00:29:53,720 --> 00:29:57,000
the primaries, and they were told no.

429
00:29:58,079 --> 00:30:00,319
Speaker 2: So they took it to the North Carolin on a

430
00:30:00,359 --> 00:30:01,720
Board of Elections meeting.

431
00:30:02,680 --> 00:30:07,640
Speaker 3: And guess what they did. Those those people, these grown

432
00:30:07,839 --> 00:30:13,759
people appointed by the UH, by the UH, not the governor,

433
00:30:13,799 --> 00:30:16,119
because they stole that and gave it to I believe

434
00:30:16,160 --> 00:30:17,359
to the auditor.

435
00:30:17,599 --> 00:30:20,960
Speaker 2: And that power to a point. And these folks sat

436
00:30:21,000 --> 00:30:24,240
there and had the nerve to say, I wanna can't

437
00:30:24,279 --> 00:30:27,240
I wanna vote. That's a good Yeah, I wanna vote.

438
00:30:27,240 --> 00:30:31,200
Speaker 9: Making fun of the students, mocking them, making fun of

439
00:30:31,240 --> 00:30:35,680
them so and I could tell from our radio show

440
00:30:35,759 --> 00:30:39,240
earlier today when they were on that that hurt them.

441
00:30:39,519 --> 00:30:41,279
Speaker 2: It dispirited them.

442
00:30:42,359 --> 00:30:44,160
Speaker 1: Yes, we're gonna have to pick up on this one.

443
00:30:44,160 --> 00:30:46,240
We come forward. I'm Jesse Jackson Junior on k A

457
00:31:41,480 --> 00:31:46,000
Tjcoalition dot org because, as I was just saying before

458
00:31:46,000 --> 00:31:49,240
we went to the break, voter suppression is up and

459
00:31:49,359 --> 00:31:53,000
running definitely. In North Carolina.

460
00:31:52,519 --> 00:31:55,559
Speaker 1: Forty five years ago. Forty five years ago or maybe

461
00:31:55,960 --> 00:31:57,640
forty two years ago, when I was a student of

462
00:31:57,640 --> 00:32:02,799
North Carolina, AG registered Scott Hall, we registered Cooper Hall,

463
00:32:02,839 --> 00:32:06,119
we registered Barbie Hall, we registered Alex Haley Hall. We

464
00:32:06,160 --> 00:32:08,240
registered all the students to vote, and at that time

465
00:32:08,279 --> 00:32:10,519
there were about forty two hundred students at A and

466
00:32:10,559 --> 00:32:14,559
T's campus. Forty two We made the County Board of

467
00:32:14,559 --> 00:32:18,039
Elections put a polling place in the student union there

468
00:32:18,079 --> 00:32:20,400
you go, student union, which has now been replaced with

469
00:32:20,440 --> 00:32:24,119
a new magnificent facility, and they put polling places there.

470
00:32:24,119 --> 00:32:29,640
In fact, in that race between Howard Cobel and Howard Britt,

471
00:32:30,000 --> 00:32:34,759
Howard Britt lost the election by sixty votes, was entirely

472
00:32:34,799 --> 00:32:38,200
registered to vote. Britt's campaign chose to land a helicopter

473
00:32:38,279 --> 00:32:43,000
at UNCG University of North Carolina in Greensboro on the

474
00:32:43,079 --> 00:32:45,440
day of the election, where no students were registered to vote.

475
00:32:45,680 --> 00:32:48,200
That was the White school had he landed it on

476
00:32:48,279 --> 00:32:51,039
A and t's campus, he would not have lost that

477
00:32:51,119 --> 00:32:56,559
election by sixty votes and generrated the excitement on our

478
00:32:56,599 --> 00:32:59,319
campus given that we had registered the students to vote.

479
00:32:59,359 --> 00:33:02,400
We fought to have a polling place on our campus.

480
00:33:02,440 --> 00:33:05,920
And it's just amazing for me to hear that, you know,

481
00:33:06,039 --> 00:33:09,759
forty two forty years later, A and T, with more

482
00:33:09,799 --> 00:33:13,720
than twenty thousand students, many of whom live in cities

483
00:33:13,799 --> 00:33:17,440
all across this country, have registered in great numbers to

484
00:33:17,559 --> 00:33:20,720
vote in North Carolina. The loss wherever you spent the

485
00:33:20,799 --> 00:33:23,880
last three nights in a row is where you live.

486
00:33:24,000 --> 00:33:27,759
And they registered in North Carolina. And the North Carolina

487
00:33:27,839 --> 00:33:30,000
Board of Elections does not want to have a polling

488
00:33:30,039 --> 00:33:33,759
place at A and T's campus. Why because their votes

489
00:33:33,799 --> 00:33:37,440
can shape not only national election in North Carolina. A

490
00:33:37,519 --> 00:33:39,519
and T has enough students to determine who the mayor

491
00:33:39,559 --> 00:33:40,720
of Greensboro.

492
00:33:40,440 --> 00:33:42,200
Speaker 2: Is right and so.

493
00:33:42,440 --> 00:33:45,839
Speaker 3: And for that very reason, they've banned all they've banned

494
00:33:46,200 --> 00:33:50,359
UNC Greensboro, as you mentioned, and they've banned you know,

495
00:33:50,440 --> 00:33:51,680
polling sites and all of them.

496
00:33:51,720 --> 00:33:52,920
Speaker 2: They don't want students to vote.

497
00:33:52,960 --> 00:33:56,079
Speaker 3: This is cletand Mitchell's madness about you know, we if

498
00:33:56,079 --> 00:33:57,960
we're going to win, we got to suppress the vote

499
00:33:57,960 --> 00:34:00,440
to students because they're.

500
00:34:00,240 --> 00:34:02,400
Speaker 2: Too quote liberal and they're voting.

501
00:34:02,680 --> 00:34:03,079
Speaker 6: Listen.

502
00:34:03,279 --> 00:34:08,239
Speaker 2: The other thing they did was that they killed sols

503
00:34:08,239 --> 00:34:09,199
to the polls.

504
00:34:08,920 --> 00:34:17,960
Speaker 3: Voting in several counties. They also relocated polling places to

505
00:34:18,360 --> 00:34:21,000
very very difficult locations.

506
00:34:21,079 --> 00:34:21,480
Speaker 2: People.

507
00:34:22,239 --> 00:34:24,280
Speaker 3: I want you to think, if you're a student at

508
00:34:24,320 --> 00:34:28,480
eight at A and T, you have to walk to

509
00:34:28,559 --> 00:34:31,920
this polling place. Their nearest polling place is a twenty

510
00:34:31,920 --> 00:34:36,559
five to thirty minute walk away. You know what this

511
00:34:36,679 --> 00:34:39,679
means and how oppressive this is. And don't be telling

512
00:34:39,719 --> 00:34:41,440
me about oh, well they got all.

513
00:34:41,280 --> 00:34:43,840
Speaker 2: These buses and stuff. No, it's not that.

514
00:34:44,119 --> 00:34:47,320
Speaker 3: It's just rome what they did, and they did make

515
00:34:47,360 --> 00:34:49,639
a mockery of the students. So I want to call

516
00:34:49,679 --> 00:34:58,039
out Xavian Davis, Anayah Marshall, Kayla Jackson, mister Olu Ruth.

517
00:34:58,599 --> 00:35:01,639
Speaker 2: And all the students who they throughout get ready for this.

518
00:35:02,440 --> 00:35:06,800
Speaker 3: When the students protested, they threw them out of the They.

519
00:35:06,599 --> 00:35:10,239
Speaker 2: Had enforcably removed from the meeting.

520
00:35:11,000 --> 00:35:16,920
Speaker 3: So I want people to understand that these students.

521
00:35:16,400 --> 00:35:17,440
Speaker 2: They're not giving up.

522
00:35:17,880 --> 00:35:20,719
Speaker 3: They're going to keep on pushing until they get their

523
00:35:20,760 --> 00:35:23,920
polling place. But I want to understand that they are

524
00:35:23,960 --> 00:35:27,920
walking in doctor Kington's tradition, They're walking in your desk tradition,

525
00:35:28,280 --> 00:35:32,599
They're walking in Alan Baker's tradition, and the Fannieluhamer.

526
00:35:31,880 --> 00:35:32,719
Speaker 2: And everyone else.

527
00:35:33,159 --> 00:35:36,599
Speaker 3: So this week, of all weeks, you know, I want

528
00:35:36,719 --> 00:35:42,960
us to show some love to the students at North Carolina. Ante.

529
00:35:43,320 --> 00:35:45,960
Speaker 1: We may have to walk in march right down Market

530
00:35:45,960 --> 00:35:51,400
Street the entire campus to the voter location you got

531
00:35:51,400 --> 00:35:54,320

532
00:35:54,360 --> 00:35:58,639

533
00:35:59,000 --> 00:36:01,400

00:36:01,440 --> 00:36:06,360
street to cast our ballot, which is and are our rights? Barbara.

535
00:36:07,079 --> 00:36:09,239
We have about four minutes to close. Please your word

536
00:36:09,280 --> 00:36:09,639
of hope.

537
00:36:10,039 --> 00:36:14,239
Speaker 3: Yes, a couple of things everyone. This Friday, you know

538
00:36:14,360 --> 00:36:17,559
today was the nation was the walk out on fascist

539
00:36:18,320 --> 00:36:20,119
uh and many people did it.

540
00:36:20,480 --> 00:36:21,679
Speaker 2: We're grateful to them.

541
00:36:21,800 --> 00:36:25,400
Speaker 3: It was very you know, DC based, But I'm also

542
00:36:25,440 --> 00:36:29,679
grateful to the Women's March that made this happen. But

543
00:36:29,960 --> 00:36:34,880
on Friday there's a national call for a general strike

544
00:36:36,119 --> 00:36:41,039
and they're asking people because of the murders of not

545
00:36:41,159 --> 00:36:45,519
only Renee Good, but Keith Porter and so many others,

546
00:36:45,559 --> 00:36:48,639
and the maining and the occupation of our cities by

547
00:36:49,159 --> 00:36:53,679
ice UH and UH the other you know, unlawful police

548
00:36:53,840 --> 00:36:57,400
UH tactics, including racial profiling.

549
00:36:57,800 --> 00:36:59,679
Speaker 2: They're asking for people.

550
00:36:59,760 --> 00:37:01,719
Speaker 3: Every We're to walk out of your jobs, walk out

551
00:37:01,760 --> 00:37:06,159
of schools, don't buy anything, just a day of strike.

552
00:37:06,519 --> 00:37:09,559
So this is the first national attempt to have a

553
00:37:09,639 --> 00:37:13,159
general strike. And I hope that people will take this

554
00:37:13,239 --> 00:37:16,199
to heart and that you will do what you can

555
00:37:16,280 --> 00:37:19,039
in this moment, because doctor King did everything you can

556
00:37:19,119 --> 00:37:20,440
and that he could in the moment.

557
00:37:21,800 --> 00:37:23,920
Speaker 1: Give us that date again for the idea of a

558
00:37:24,039 --> 00:37:24,679
national strike.

559
00:37:24,920 --> 00:37:28,519
Speaker 2: That date Friday, January the twenty third.

560
00:37:28,960 --> 00:37:32,159
Speaker 1: Right, did January twenty third be ready? What is expected

561
00:37:32,199 --> 00:37:33,760
of us to not go to work that day or

562
00:37:33,800 --> 00:37:34,920
to not not do.

563
00:37:34,880 --> 00:37:40,079
Speaker 3: Anything, not go not to We don't want people you know, shopping,

564
00:37:40,159 --> 00:37:42,760
we don't want people you know.

565
00:37:42,760 --> 00:37:44,880
Speaker 2: Going to school. We don't want people going to work.

566
00:37:44,920 --> 00:37:47,480
We want people to.

567
00:37:46,679 --> 00:37:50,039
Speaker 3: Gather and talk and reflect and talk about how we

568
00:37:50,159 --> 00:37:55,119
preserve our democracy. We want people to study doctor King,

569
00:37:55,480 --> 00:37:59,800
to study all of the efforts of nonviolent resistance and

570
00:37:59,840 --> 00:38:03,000
the world. And we want people to make their voices

571
00:38:03,079 --> 00:38:06,559
heard on you know on social media and let folks

572
00:38:06,599 --> 00:38:08,960
know what they're doing, but make them pay.

573
00:38:09,119 --> 00:38:09,360
Speaker 6: You know.

574
00:38:09,440 --> 00:38:16,000
Speaker 3: The reality is the business sector is unconsortably quiet. But

575
00:38:16,199 --> 00:38:19,239
oh but one thing you should note a number of

576
00:38:19,320 --> 00:38:22,880
the Minnesota businesses have nonced they are just gonna close

577
00:38:22,920 --> 00:38:23,559
on Friday.

578
00:38:24,360 --> 00:38:28,559
Speaker 2: They're not even going to open Friday, They're just gonna close.

579
00:38:30,079 --> 00:38:32,639
Speaker 3: So I just think, you know, the business sector has

580
00:38:32,679 --> 00:38:34,559
a lot to do with what's going on.

581
00:38:34,679 --> 00:38:36,480
Speaker 2: These oler guards. It's all about money.

582
00:38:36,519 --> 00:38:39,519
Speaker 3: That's all they care about, all nine hundred and two

583
00:38:39,679 --> 00:38:43,840
of them in the United States. Plus, I think it's

584
00:38:43,880 --> 00:38:47,960
just imperative that we the people, you know, take our

585
00:38:48,159 --> 00:38:50,760
future into our hands, which is all Doctor King never

586
00:38:50,840 --> 00:38:51,559
asked us to do.

587
00:38:51,840 --> 00:38:53,360
Speaker 1: Who would have ever thought we would be at this

588
00:38:53,440 --> 00:38:56,239
location and at this place at this time in the

589
