now those of us around martin and martin himself really felt he should be the last speaker. they felt and there were always around going it's not appropriate for him to say i want to be the last speaker so they've raised it and they're seemed to be some resistance to it. finally why don't you come to the meeting with me? so when they are talking about well i think, you know, one of the reasons you don't want martin luther king to speak is he will tend to speak so long and i listen to the discussion and they were all -- i'm not going to get into the names but they were talking for the position on who was going to be the closing act. finally i looked at him and i said i want you to think about this. do you really want to follow -- to any of you really want to follow martin king? do you really want to follow martin king? they said why do you say that? because you run the risk of people getting up and leaving, you know. i said, you know, we have a major concert -- if people come to ray charles you don't want to put clarence jones where free charles is supposed to be because i ca

i said i think martin should be the last dr. king and i called martin 101. everybody else i referred to him as dr. king, i think should be the last speaker. it's amazing how that question sort of was the leveling ground. do you really want to follow dr. king? [laughter] >> guest: it was -- >> host: so it was the right man in the right place at the right time as you see it. >> guest: yeah. uh-huh. as i see it. you know what? you know what that speech was? you know the phrase "i have a dream" which is repetitive? celebrated phrase. >> host: yes. >> guest: when you look at it from a syntax stand point, he's speaking in the future. >> host: uh-huh. >> guest: he's speaking in the future tense. not in the present tense. >> host: uh-huh. >> guest: that's because martin king had more confidence, had more -- had a greater prothetic vision of what america could be than america and the government had of itself. >> host: yes. >> guest: you know what america was before martin luther king jr.? america was like a dysfunctional alcoholic, a drug addict who had became addict

martin luther king jr.. and the place just -- now why we cannot let me -- you know, there was some discussion in the planning of the march on washington of who was going to speak and for how long. now, those of us around martin and martin himself really felt that he should be the last speaker. but he certainly felt, and all of us around him thought it wasn't appropriate for him to say i want to be the last speaker. so, they had raised it and they're seemed to be some resistance to it. so finally they said why don't you come to the meeting with me? and they are talking about well, i think that, you know, he will tend to speak so long. i listened to the discussions and i am not going to get into names but they were all talking the position on who was went to be the closing act. and finally i looked at him and i sit now i want you to think about this. do you really want to follow martin king? think about that. do you really want to follow martin king? and they said why you say that? i said because you run the r

but after martin's death i did not see things the same way that she saw them in relationship to martin. i certainly did not see them in relationship to the assassination. and so i felt that i could speak more freely. and then the other thing is i frankly get tired. i just got tired of everybody, black and white appropriating martin king's mental, his words, his speeches for their own. perhaps the most current example of that, i went into the book when it happened. i could not believe that plan back was going to hold a rally at the foot of the lincoln memorial on the same day of august 282010 and do it within the context of the "i have a dream" speech. now, everybody, martin king does not belong to me. he does not belong to the civil rights movement. martin king is american, he is an american icon. if you are going to associate yourself with them or even seek to claim part of his mental but do it within the context of truth and accuracy. i guess i got so tired of having to hear all of these opponents of affirmative action "time after time, i'm opposed to affirmative action because i sta

what would martin do?tarted introducing folks not alphabetical. why don't i just are to my right and head towards me with ms. brown beginning, if you would, please. >> it is always confusing to me when i can sit in a spot and a smile because i don't have to go first. but that's all right. good evening, everyone. >> good evening. >> this is a very good-looking crowd. on a day like today, it is such a pleasure to be with you. first of all, to the other panelists that are presenting this afternoon, it is such an honor to sit with you, to hold a tear an extra hilary shelton, my gosh. you are a giant. and kathleen kennedy townsend, absolutely. let's give them their props. absolutely. he is a giant. and to see my sister kathleen kennedy townsend at the other end to my left, she has worked me half to death without knowing my first name. the a. philip randolph into stocks for social justice in the name of political policies you set forth for us as goal. two questions, what would martin do? please indulge me if you

martin luther king, jr.. he is not a scholar in residence at stanford's the milky research institute. his new book is called "behind the dream: the making of the speech that transformed a nation." good to have you back on this program. >> thank you. tavis: what is it about this speech we seem to know everything about, have heard everything over and over again, that you can tell us? >> i think the most important thing i can tell you about this speech is that many people believe that this was -- that dr. king gave this speech as a prepared address from beginning to end. as a matter of fact, the part of the speech that has become such a celebrated part of history was totally spontaneous and extemporaneous. it was not something he had prepared for in advance. i was standing just a few feet behind him, and he was speaking. he was reading the prepared text of the speech, on which i was proposed -- and proud to say i worked with him and provided some of the draft material. it was not just me but andy young, stanley

what would martin say?an slower democrats for action being presumptuous on this. -- american ands for democratic action. he was a master of words. we are lucky because those words but wet only in princt, can hear them. it is all of his great speeches. i recommend to all of us, if we want to drink of the cop that will give us new energy and hope, to some listening and reading of those great speeches. martin was presumptuous 26 year old when he took the leadership of the montgomery boycott. the first time my wife met martin luther king, i was driving them from baltimore to washington one night. he had given a sermon to an african-american fraternities for spending more than one weekend to the total naacp budget. my friendship with hillary began with the right on the train murray invited me to go to the hundredth anniversary. martin died in the car and we drove him home -- got in the car and drove him home. from time to time, i strategizing with martin luther king on what the next step autozone depth of knowle

he was closely involved in the lockheed martin story. in the 50's they build the aircraft called the c5 which was supposed to be able to take large numbers of troops and material anywhere in the world in short notice. lockheed described it as a fleeing military base and there was some discussion whether this was a good idea, whether if we could get anywhere quickly it would intervene more quickly in more places but it never came to that because the plane was $2 billion over estimated cost, couldn't do the missions it was set up to do, so there was no possibility of using it to intervene anywhere because it just wasn't working. but this was buried in the bureaucracy of the air force, they were not going to reveal this to congress until fitzgerald steps forward and put his career risk and lost his job over this bid was proxmire for the public. he had fitzgerald testify about it and the trouble the committee when he lost his pentagon job he wanted to make sure the public understood that this was an abuse of our tax dollars the we couldn't s

and so every year on this day to honor the birthday of dr martin luther king jr. people gather to pay tribute. so it is no surprise then that the name of this american hero is often invoked but once in a while that legacy gets hijacked by come to tell you now that the truth shall set you free. first there was the glenn beck rally on the mall on august twenty eighth the same day at the same location martin luther king jr gave his i have a dream speech ladies and gentlemen the selling of conservative talk show host message was one thing now his name is being used to drum up support for u.s. wars in a speech given last week dr j. johnson attorney at the pentagon said i believe that of dr king. we're alive today he would recognize that we live in a complicated world and that our nation's military should not and cannot lay down its arms and leave the american people vulnerable to terrorist attack wait what that's funny because in addition to leading the civil rights movement dr martin luther king was one of the most outspoken critics of the vietnam war i think he shot

[laughter] >> and i will pass them on to lockheed martin. so if you come up to get your book signed, have your checkbook ready. it's also a company in addition to size that's involved in many aspects of our lives that you might not expect. not only does it make weapons, it cluster bombs, it be designing nuclear weapons, it be combat ships, it fighter planes but it also works with the is their is their, the national security agency, the fbi the department of homeland security, the irs, the census bureau. pretty much any agency of government that we interact with, probably lockheed martin is involved. i wrote a piece recently on the web that described that lockheed martin's shadow government. and, you know, i think it remains to be seen whether they're going to serve that role or not but i think -- there's certainly that danger given the aspects of our government and our lives. that's what i really have to say to get the conversation started. and, you know, i think, you know, david, do you have any other thoughts that you want to share? >> wel

executive on its board, and it appeared to get lockheed martin money. these think tanks don't have to disclose those kind of private donors but given that they had a lucky person on the board and they take corporate donations pretty lightly -- >> host: that is always a sign just as with the new american sentry, bruce jackson was on the part of that you can guarantee that there was lockheed martin money involved. >> guest: so this panel the national institute put together said you know, we need usable nuclear weapons. we have to get deep underground facilities. perhaps we might use it in a situation more like an iraq. we should target more countries on the nuclear weapons and not just think of china, russia but let's look at iran, north korea, cuba, syria, some more targets, usable weapons, this whole nightmare scenario of what you wouldn't want your nuclear policy to be. and so this is laid out in the january before the bush administration comes in and then the nuclear posture adopt many of the same suggestions, so it could be great minds think alike bu

finish. >> host: so lockheed gets paid nicely to merge with martin. norm augustine achieves his ambition of creating the largest defense mega corporation in america, and how does his career proceed after that? >> guest: well, he's not done yet. because then they buy the defense division of loral corporation for about $9 billion just increasing them to, you know, far and away the largest defense contractor -- >> host: so they pick up more electronics for their business, yeah. >> guest: and in the meantime, he's head of this advisory panel called the defense policy advisory committee on trade. and they've got this whole agenda they've been pushing for subsidizing weapons exports which has been sort of stalled. and then finally he starts pushing once there's the gingrich revolution and gingrich has the big lockheed plant right outside his district. then timely they can get moving on this agenda. so they create a $15 billion loan guarantee fund which is, basically, going to make it possible to sell maybe two, three, four times as many subsidized sales as

happy martin luther king day.t want to say and congratulate you for all the great work that is going on for the corporation for national & community service. as a minister, i realize that church has not taking a full stan of opportunities that the government gives because of the generation -- of the separation of church and state. you have had a clause where you help initiate small nonprofits to get into a special class is. you ask if you're a new applicant to get funds. because of that, i want to know what you do to help and what will be done and how money would be allocated. it gets trickle-down. what is going to be done and what is going to be done to help the small fire starters to get started and to be effective in such communities? guest: that is a great question. we're doing a couple of things. if you go to our website, we have a resource center that is available for emerging nonprofits that just getting started. you can learn about how to engage volunteers, what are the best practices and so on. that is on

executive on the board and it appeared to get lockheed martin money. given that they had a lucky person on the board and they take the dimensions pretty likely -- >> host: just as the american century if bruce jackson was on the board could guarantee that there was money involved. >> guest: so this panel that the national institute put together said nuclear weapons is to get deep underground facilities, perhaps use it as a situation in a war like iraq we can target more companies with nuclear weapons not just look at china, russia, but let's look at iran and korea, syria, target's and usable weapons, this will sort of nightmare scenario that you wouldn't want your nuclear policy to be so this is laid out sort of in the january before the bush administration comes in and with nuclear posture adopt many of the suggestions could be great minds think alike but it certainly could be aggressive minds think alike or it could be in fact they have some influence in the way that the nuclear policy was put together. >> host: i would imagine norm augustine was bus

martin luther king and president obama in the same speech about oratory?it will probably not resonate in the chambers of history. i think king is the benchmark, but where they are different from what most political professionals do is those are set piece features in an era where most political communication is more informal. i don't think we give a sound bite enough respect. any modern person would have to listen to take someone take five hours to present a budget, they would not go through it. it was a different era. >> this is the era of sound bites we should not underestimate? >> i think that is right but i still say in american politics really big speeches account for a lot. they get remembered for the sound bites but you know when somebody is making a significant speech. president obama has made three already. i also think bill clinton -- >> can you remember a single line from any of them? >> i can member his -- i cannot remember a line like i can from martin luther king's speech. it was phenomenal at the time and has become more overtime. >> congratu
