all of us staying on the shoulders of martin luther king. l of us stand on the shoulders of the nonviolent struggle. and on king's birthday, the white house, like it has done for years, stands up and praises dr. king and talks about dr. king as a modern-day prophet. i don't know how these people do that and sleep at night. i don't know how you compare people who are trying to stop -- who are very much in the tradition of nonviolence, are trying to stop bombs being dropped -- literally -- on refugee camps to neo-nazi protesters. it is disgraceful, to use her own words. it is disgraceful. it is reprehensible. it is offensive as far as i am concerned to the shoulders -- on those whom we stand right now. i don't understand it. i would extend this further. hearing president biden himself, downplay the number of palestinian deaths, to say he does not believe the palestinians, i -- his own state department was citing this figures only months ago. at some point there is that saying when people show you who they are, you have to believe them. i've spe

well, we saw for the right to vote in the honorable reverend doctor martin luther king junior, put his life on the line for the right to vote. he was fighting for the power of the vault to power to change laws, the power of legislation. this is not what he thought for as well. both don't have any power. the member of the morning or the like, man, how's everything? good. ok, you have a say. thank you sir. so before we get started, i gotta know where you've been in what you've been up to so we can start. so same thing. it's all about black opportunities, right? as a new organization, i feel like the apex with black. so i filed for my license to carry and texas, which will carry over to 30 states, right? we want to be prepared and ready and then violence arises. i will tell you that you may be met with resistance. and the quickest way to change the laws regarding upholding your 2nd amendment, right, which is the right to be on is to have people of color apply for applications to carry a gun in value. you will see a change in state law because somebody will be tracking that. so i just want

my luther king junior was murdered. it was an uproar question. right. right. it was right. all right. people really just like when george was the george george sluggish is a regular do use. no freedom fighter use no. and you to god st. down and give us the right to vote. he was just regular to but the way that he was killed it jolted everybody into action. the . we look back at the protest bird, 5 of black lives matter movement, nbc, this is a turning point in american democracy and in democracy and more generally, the way the money was the death of george to the wife alone. that sparks and massive protests that we saw in the united states, and it was that dest, on top of a long term process of disenfranchisement interests invasion meant on the 4th of african american and other citizens. that really on the what i think a lot of people so was we're not going to take it any more as a, just a collective ceiling of enough is, are not the racial wounds and divisions that still have not healed in the united states still have not been transcended in the united states and it didn't

his contribution is basically equal to what martin luther king did in a way, or he is martin luther kingor us. host: thank you for calling. in the words of cesar chavez, if you read his writing, is he emulating martin luther king? he has the letter from sacramento. miriam: a little bit. they had se contact. i think the points that ricardo raises are really great and important. his legacy, that is why i wrote the biography because i think his legacy is not well enough known. it is not understood. he has been presented as a very two dimensional figure in a lot of ways. the answer to the question is more people need to study what he did and how he organized and what he did when he was most effective to see how those things can be used to help the lives of people who need that kind of power. for people to understand their own power was at the heart of his mission. and i think his success was making people who did not believe they had the power to stand up to the growers -- remember, they had no rights at all. to understand that by banding together, there were ways they could exert power and

said it very well, he's an icon of american uh liberals. but martin luther king said the main perver of violence in the world today is my government, speaking of the u.s. government, and he was killed of course, because he began to oppose, he opposed the american mask. killing in the in in in into china, so people are only surprised by the barbarity of the israelis and the barbarity of the american and the british government, because they don't know the history, and iranians out to know because the share of iran was was was put into power for a bloody regime that affected almost every family, but you can point almost anywhere in the in the globe, and you'll find uh similar and even worse examples. well, one of the things that... another uh one of israeli ministers has said and this is the foreign minister um where it kind of gives an idea if it's accurate uh the timeline that israel may be looking at where he said israel has between two and three weeks before international pressure intensifies well mean how how can you think that international pressure has not intensified based on th

they spoke about martin luther king's speech how much he sited the founding fathers. how much he sited the great unifying principals of america. he persuaded a lot of people. it was controversial what he argued for in 1963 and today it's something we also all embrace. we also talked about foreign policy. they advanced the freedom around the world. how does freedom around the world have invest in america. these are topics that deserve our time. we will have outstanding panels and thoughtful. one thing i'd like to highlight is the fact there are policies. this is on the left and the right. it's about how everything is falling apart. we spoke about the challenges economically. there has also been real victory and education choice is a great example. we persuade people of the value of our ideas and millions of parents and children. it's not a lost cause to invest in freedom and progress. it's the only way to expand the constituency for our values. i was talking to people, you can't persuade anybody. you have to basically win. you have to own the left. whatever it is. what

martin luther king sent to all of those gathered and watching throughout the country, i have a dream.ords that would inspire so many at that time and in the years to come. the leader of washington's catholic community at the time delivered the invocation earlier that day. the archbishop had encouraged d.c. catholics to participate in the march, local catholic parishes in groups and schools offered housing and hospitality, and special masses were held at the cathedral of st. matthew and the national shrine of immaculate conception and many other churches. that day, the archbishop called on all to shun violence, knowing that the meek shall inherit the earth. he called on everybody to live in dignity, justice, charity and peace. he said it was just as vital -- we know it is just as vital today as 60 years ago and it can also be just as heart-wrenching. as we begin, let's pause to remember and pray for angela michelle carr, a jayla gary junior, and another man who were killed in jacksonville by a racist gunman who first went to a historically black university immediately before the shooti

martin luther king. basically what he preached was a homily.can you help us respond to this challenge? what are the biblical principles, what are the themes of our catholic social teaching that ought to guide a real response as our colleagues have described? andrew: one thing, the preferential option for the poor, that's what i want you all to remember and burn on your hearts, the preferential option for the poor. god obviously loves everyone in a very personal way. but the preferential option for the poor is a teaching that says god has a special care and concern for those who have been deprived, mistreated, abused, marginalized. those are the people to whom god goes first and those are the people with whom god works and stands and lives. when i look at the march on washington, even though they were not using that language, what i see at work is the preferential option for the poor. the march was first conceived by a. philip randolph, a major labor leader in the black community. that's why it's called the march for jobs and freedom. it was abo

the judge says parts of the remarks that you've made are akin to things that martin luther king wouldhave said. i think, let's get this guy on. he's the face of january 6th. he's going to be repentant. and then i can talk to him about why is' libertarian. like maybe that was my naivete. and instead he was cagey and we couldn't even get beyond him owning what he did wrong, so that we could talk about politics, which was my goal. another one, real quick, if due mind. i think we have time for one more. no is the answer to your question. today's poll, this is a war triggered by hamas. if only strongly suspected, the idf has reason to enter the hospital. however the idf has every responsibility to avoid collateral death, and injury to noncombatants. i like steven the way that richard clark, the former national security adviser put, this which is that there are two battles that are taking place, and i'm agreeing with him in that israel has got to be cognizant of both of them. one is, is the battle on the battlefield. and the other is the court of public opinion. and having staked out the gr

martin luther king the third, thank you so much for joining us by phone. and joining me now is democratic assistant leader congressman jim clyburn of south carolina. i want to start, before we get into the polls in the politics, i want to start with your thoughts about the death of rosalind carter. what can you tell us about how the former first lady distinguished herself, not only in the white house, but through her mandatory in efforts? both with before, during, and for decades after her husband's term in office? >> thank you very much for having me, reverend. she was a remarkable woman. i think -- they in and day out, exactly how a first lady -- [inaudible] she did not. not just threat the country, but around the world as well. she traveled foreign nations, carrying the good news of this great country, and she did that with remarkable skill. and i think we're gonna miss her tremendously. >> now, let's get to the latest news. the u.s. israeli and hamas negotiators are closing in on a deal that would release some hostages and exchange for a pause in fight

washington, martin luther king, these were men who loved america.d waive the constitution and the declaration around. even martin luther king would talk about all the time about what the constitution provides. and frederick douglass would talk but his defense of the constitution an is so forth. you look at these three tremendous men and then you watch the squad. do you think they even know the history of this country? do you think they even know that history of these great african-american individuals they did not want to burn down the society they wanted to improve it. >> answered during these books i hope people that watch the news cared about history but along the way with george washington secret six, andrew jackson welcome to new orleans i realize them in the war a world history the war in our history if you defend our country they say you are whitewashing it. no i am not i'm not pretending andrew jackson did not have slaves i'm not pretending there is no jim crow i'm telling you to put into perspective the time in which they lived what was hap

research and i discover that i lived next door as a kid next to james earl ray, the assassin of martin luther king. i read a wonderful book about the king assassination, killing the dreaby gerald posner. and i looked at the address that james earl ray lived in just a few months before he drove in his white mustang across the country to memphis to kill martin luther king. and it was right nt to my house. and so i looked at james earl, raised life, and it was a lot like my father's life. he was this poor, white from illinois, always in marginalized communities. i looked at the census of his birth and i determined i foun out that james earl ray actually was born along black people in illinois town. and so he grew up among black people. he hated what was close to him. and that's one of the things that race does to us ideas of race. it's this it's this way of explaining our reality. james earl ray grew up extremely poor. he grew up deprived of opportunity. and to him, black people, people close to him were that were who he blamed for it. but on the other hand, i also had this story. my my, my east holl

bernice king, lawyer and daughter of martin luther king, jr., responded to post by comedian amy schumer, who shared a video of dr. king condemning anti-semitism and defending israel's right to exist. bernice king wrote -- "certainly, my father was against anti-semitism. he also believed militarism to be among the interconnected triple evils. i am certain he would call for israel's bombing of palestinians to cease." here in new york on the longtime human rights attorney craig mokhiber, the director of the new york office of u.n. high commissioner of human rights, stepped down in protest over the u.n.'s failure to stop the humanitarian catastrophe in gaza, which he called a textbook case of genocide. he blamed the u.s., the u.k., and much of europe for its complicity. we'll be joined by craig mokhiber later in the broadcast. meanwhile, chile and colombia have recalled their ambassadors to israel, while bolivia has cur -- cut diplomatic ties with israel, citing crimes against humanity. >> based on its principal stance of respect toward life, bolivia has decided to break in condemnation of
