dr. martin luther king, jr. said. he said your moral compass should not be silent. what it is. so he spoke on that, and not only i think the main motivating factor for him to say those words was muhammad ali. he spoke glowingly about muhammad ali standing up to the united states government about not going to the war in vietnam and not fighting a war when there was essentially a war going on here where he said he could not go to a restaurant and sit next to his white brothers and sisters and have dinner with them, so why would he go to vietnam? martin luther king said that. and the catalyst from him saying that was muhammad ali's actions. so people will always have negative thoughts and issues, what they want to say about athletes when they're speaking out, when you don't agree with something, i think that's the point when you really need to check your hypocrisy and understand it works both ways. free speech works both ways, whether you agree with it or not. >> donte' stallworth, appreciate it. >>> he's the first daughter and advise tore the president. now ivanka tru

dr. martin luther king also said. i think he was paraphrasing someone who came before him. , andrc of history is long it bends toward justice. justice is health care as a right, not a privilege. just a few weeks ago, we were just one vote away from taking away health care from millions of people in our country. we were that close. we know that we're going to have to keep on with this fight. it's not going to just happen because we are standing here united under the principle that health care is a right, not a privilege. the long road ahead is what is going to inform our actions over andnext number of months, truly for us to achieve health care as a right, not a privilege, will require the millions of people out there who care as much as you all do, and for all of our families and every american citizen, and, i should mention, immigrants. 800,000d thousand -- daca recipients about to be deported, all of the people in this country should have health care as a right and not a privilege.

dr. martin luther king jr. like from athletes like ali. then he changed his name and people called him disrespectful to kareem abdul-jabbar. we cannot go back to those times. we cannot be silent. i think it's incumbent upon members of congress and the congressional black caucus to make sure that our voices are loud and clear. that we continue to do what we have been doing in promoting legislation that will be beneficial to all americans. but, you know, taking care of those who are african-americans and those who have been victimized by police brutality and others. and, yes, we'll be talking about strategies that we will undertake when we get back into session. >> no. i think there has to be a dramatic -- we're doing it as we've done not only in the past but in the recent future. i mean in recent present rather. like around the trayvon martin case and others. because really we're calling for attention on the issues. and what is so to me so distracting is the president ought to be addressing the issues of inequality rather than distracting u

dr. martin luther king jr. actually said it best.ondemn the riots, bt you also have to condemn the under lying conditions that led to them. i know mark is on the show with us tonight and we can go tit for tat about what the judge said and what he didn't say. but what we do know is that the only dna that was found was found from the officer. what we do know is that he had a weapon that was not an official weapon of the st. louis police department. and what we do know is that he said i am going to kill this mfer and then when he got to him, he killed him. and so i've been on this show many times before when we've had instances like this, and i really wish this police department as good as they're getting at handling riots would get even better at giving african-american men the benefit of their humanity and then we won't have to be so good at handling riots. >> marco measura? >> yeah, i'm not certain that we sort of agree on this one. i've got some real concerns. it's interesting because the dna that was found was his dna because he to

dr. martin luther king stood here and told america we have a long way to go to achieve the civility, to achieve peace, to achieve the unity and equality that he knew was possible. in this spot, the lincoln memorial represents the fact that this nation has come in the past, at times when we were even more divided than we appear to be today. the man memorialized behind me, who looks down at us now from his giant, white chair, he presided over america at the time of our deepest division. that is the backdrop of what we are talking about today, the march for civility. what we are talking about today with this march, is that regardless of our politics, we have to find a way to increase the level of civility in our public discourse. [applause] we have to find a way to reduce partisanship. no matter your politics, today partisans think all the facts are on their side, all the evidence support that conclusion, that they know better than everybody else what is right, that their side is 100% right, and the other side is 100% wrong. maybe sometimes that is true, but usually it is not. we have to work toge

dr. martin luther king in early 1960s in the south. you've got arthur ashe the things he stood up for, kareem abdul-jabbar. it was only that dead period in the 1990s when charles barkley said i am not a role model. michael jordan didn't want anything controversial because he was trying to sell sneakers. this is why i love what we're seeing because it's getting athletes back involved in the game, whether we like it or not, they've got a ton of power these athletes. you've got people who are watching them, these youngsters watching them for good or bad, the fact they're treating them this way is good and now you're adding the owner component. this is something that could be a powerful good for society. >> ownership for being a role model is always important whether you believe you're one or not. great to see you. >>> so we've got the palace intrigue from politico. politico now reporting that the president's son-in-law was using a private e-mail to conduct white house business. we'll tell you all about jared kushner. this latest headline

dr. martin luther king jr., who called on us to radical love so many years ago. he said, "i come here today to plead with you -- believe in yourself and believe you are somebody. you are somebody." i talked to a group last night. nobody else can do this for us. no document can do this for us. lincolnianience -- emancipation proclamation can do this for us. no johnson's civil rights bill can do this for us. to be free, he must move down into the inner resources of his own soul & with -- and sign with a own emancipation proclamation. do not let anybody take your personhood. be proud of your heritage. we don't have anything to be ashamed of. somebody told a lie one day. we know this life. they couched it in language. they made everything black, ugly, and evil. look it up in your dictionaries and see the words synonymous for blacks. it is always something degrading, low, and sinister. look at the word white. it is always something pure and high and clean. we want you to use the right language today. we need also remember to forgive. i want to get the language so righ

dr. martin luther king. the summit that was held earlier this year at the heritage foundation focused on advancing policing. imagine, just bringing that many different perspectives into a fairly large considerableas a amount of, i would say, back and forth, but i appreciate the frankness of the conversation. -- i wouldline is defer to the statements made by chief bratton -- community relationships are paramount in determining police legitimacy. relationships and legitimacy are necessary for effective policing. in fact, it was the first topical area listed in president obama's 20th-century policing task force's final report. the group that was assembled here at heritage did a phenomenal job. more importantly, we acknowledged the phenomenal job that is done by law enforcement but we do ary day, very poor job of telling the stories of the account which ends on a date -- accomplishments on a daily basis of those cops as they go out and do their jobs. i like the comment made by chief -- chief bratton in terms of
