  Speaker 1: We got a question for American mama's. Dear mama's, what
• 0:02
  Speaker 1: do you think today's protesters need to learn from MLKA? Well,
• 0:06
  Speaker 1: let's ask our American mamas. Is now our Americans? Now
• 0:23
  Speaker 1: our American mama's Terry Ediville and Kimberly Burlison. So Martin
• 0:26
  Speaker 1: Luther King Junior, the Reverend doctor Martin Luther King Junior.
• 0:31
  Speaker 1: We use one of his quotes at the start of
• 0:34
  Speaker 1: every single one of our show. That's on purpose. Our
• 0:36
  Speaker 1: first show we ever did with American Ground Radio. One
• 0:39
  Speaker 1: of our guests was doctor Alvida King, mlk's niece, So
• 0:43
  Speaker 1: certainly you know a hero of ours here on the show.
• 0:47
  Speaker 1: What do you think today's protesters need to learn from
• 0:51
  Speaker 1: the Reverend doctor?
• 0:52
  Speaker 2: Oh?
• 0:52
  Speaker 3: They could learn so much. Can you imagine if MLK
• 0:56
  Speaker 3: and his people burned cars, police cars through bricks? Can
• 1:01
  Speaker 3: you imagine if Rosa Parks burned a bus? Can you
• 1:05
  Speaker 3: imagine jail?
• 1:06
  Speaker 2: We wouldn't know them. You know.
• 1:07
  Speaker 1: I saw a meme actually, and it was a picture
• 1:10
  Speaker 1: of Rosa Parks on the bus and it said Rosa
• 1:14
  Speaker 1: Parks refused to ride the bus. She didn't light it
• 1:17
  Speaker 1: on fire exactly.
• 1:20
  Speaker 3: That's the part exactly.
• 1:21
  Speaker 2: That's part I don't understand if you listen to everything
• 1:25
  Speaker 2: that Martin Luther King stood for, especially when he was
• 1:28
  Speaker 2: getting people on board with his mission, right, he did it,
• 1:32
  Speaker 2: you know, in a way that was you wanted to
• 1:34
  Speaker 2: hear what he.
• 1:35
  Speaker 3: Had to say exactly.
• 1:36
  Speaker 2: He had courage, he was dressed nicely, and he had yes,
• 1:41
  Speaker 2: and he was really impressed upon everybody not to use
• 1:46
  Speaker 2: violence of any kind. That was not the way. That
• 1:49
  Speaker 2: was not the way to get your message across. That's
• 1:51
  Speaker 2: not the way to sway people. Because now you see
• 1:54
  Speaker 2: all these rioters, these people that of course they they
• 1:57
  Speaker 2: have masks, they're trying to hide them. You know, lot
• 2:00
  Speaker 2: of them are paid for. Most of them are paid for,
• 2:02
  Speaker 2: and they're wearing these thug clothes, and you see them
• 2:07
  Speaker 2: in the faces of either the people on the right,
• 2:10
  Speaker 2: conservatives that are out there with their own American flag
• 2:14
  Speaker 2: trying to make sure they know where they stand. They
• 2:16
  Speaker 2: get into your face and they start yelling, or they're
• 2:19
  Speaker 2: with the cops and they're trying to start something with
• 2:21
  Speaker 2: the cops. Who is going to be swayed by that.
• 2:25
  Speaker 1: I think that's an interesting point because at the time
• 2:27
  Speaker 1: Martin Luther King was trying to change the opinion of
• 2:30
  Speaker 1: the United States of America. He was trying to change
• 2:32
  Speaker 1: the opinion and get legislation in the civil rights movement
• 2:36
  Speaker 1: that was voted down by LBJ in the nineteen fifties.
• 2:40
  Speaker 1: The Democrat Party defeated the Civil rights movement in the
• 2:43
  Speaker 1: nineteen fifties. In the nineteen sixties, he was trying to
• 2:46
  Speaker 1: continue to change the hearts and minds of Americans so
• 2:48
  Speaker 1: we could get enough votes. And he was effective at
• 2:51
  Speaker 1: doing that. He wasn't trying to bully the country into something.
• 2:57
  Speaker 1: He was trying to change the hearts and minds of
• 2:59
  Speaker 1: an Americans. And I think that's a big thing you're
• 3:02
  Speaker 1: talking about. And being dressed well, Martin Luther King. Every
• 3:05
  Speaker 1: single one of his march, go look at the pictures,
• 3:07
  Speaker 1: every single one of his marches. He was wearing a
• 3:09
  Speaker 1: suit and tie, and everybody around him was wearing a
• 3:13
  Speaker 1: suit and tie. And he was wearing his best shoes.
• 3:15
  Speaker 1: And if he had a hat on, he was his
• 3:17
  Speaker 1: best hat. He was his Sunday best and everybody the
• 3:22
  Speaker 1: women that were marching, they were wearing high heels, right,
• 3:25
  Speaker 1: they weren't wearing combat boots. They were wearing high heels,
• 3:29
  Speaker 1: and that was he insisted upon that that anybody who's
• 3:34
  Speaker 1: marching with us, you're going to look like a respectable person,
• 3:38
  Speaker 1: because we're trying to win hearts and minds.
• 3:40
  Speaker 2: Fascinating, in order to garner respect, you need to be presentable,
• 3:44
  Speaker 2: You need to be respectable. And I wonder how he
• 3:47
  Speaker 2: would feel today. What would he say to the left
• 3:52
  Speaker 2: because of a lot of the things that Trump is
• 3:55
  Speaker 2: doing and is fighting for himself are the very things
• 3:58
  Speaker 2: that Martin Luther King is fighting for. So I wonder
• 4:02
  Speaker 2: what he would say. What message would he want to
• 4:07
  Speaker 2: impress upon the left who are demonstrating in such a
• 4:09
  Speaker 2: way that is so outside of the bounds of normal,
• 4:13
  Speaker 2: it's it's corrupt.
• 4:14
  Speaker 3: Do you think that today, in today's times, people would
• 4:17
  Speaker 3: even follow a person like Martin Luther King? Do you
• 4:20
  Speaker 3: think that that that would even be possible in today's.
• 4:23
  Speaker 2: The leaders that we have, Look at the Maxine Waters,
• 4:26
  Speaker 2: the Minnesota judge Tim Whiles, Kamala Harris, these aoc they're
• 4:31
  Speaker 2: in your face. Who is the radical? She's one of
• 4:33
  Speaker 2: the squad members in.
• 4:35
  Speaker 1: Crockett, oh Cross Crockett.
• 4:38
  Speaker 2: Yeah, that that they think that's the way, and that
• 4:42
  Speaker 2: was not his way, and so I don't I don't
• 4:46
  Speaker 2: think he would appreciate that.
• 4:47
  Speaker 1: Honestly, I think, you know, the way that Tim Scott
• 4:50
  Speaker 1: holds himself is a lot closer to the demeanor that
• 4:54
  Speaker 1: you would have seen from from Martin Luther King Junior.
• 4:57
  Speaker 1: I'm not saying that, you know, necessarily Martin Luther King
• 4:59
  Speaker 1: would agree with it every single thing that Tim Scott says,
• 5:01
  Speaker 1: but I think he would certainly agree with the way
• 5:03
  Speaker 1: Tim Scott says it, and sometimes that that has a
• 5:07
  Speaker 1: bigger impact on whether people receive your message than what
• 5:09
  Speaker 1: you're saying itself.
• 5:11
  Speaker 3: I agree, you.
• 5:14
  Speaker 1: Ask you know, what would you think? He he condemned
• 5:17
  Speaker 1: violence in his time. He said we must never give
• 5:21
  Speaker 1: into violence. He also one of one of my favorite
• 5:23
  Speaker 1: speeches of his. He went to he was in Michigan
• 5:25
  Speaker 1: for an event, and he stopped by a middle school
• 5:28
  Speaker 1: in Michigan just unannounced, and so they had a spontaneous
• 5:33
  Speaker 1: school assembly to hear the Reverend Martin Luther King. And
• 5:36
  Speaker 1: one of the things he said to the students, never
• 5:39
  Speaker 1: let anyone tell you that you are less than well,
• 5:43
  Speaker 1: what does DEI tell Black Americas?
• 5:46
  Speaker 3: One?
• 5:47
  Speaker 2: And I think Alvida hadn't she.
• 5:49
  Speaker 1: She's come out, she's come out against so I think
• 5:52
  Speaker 1: he would say, never let anyone tell you that you're
• 5:55
  Speaker 1: less than amen, and always dress like you're more than.
• 5:59
  Speaker 1: I'd like to ask our American Mama was a question
