00:01:59.700 jackson and his life and his achievements if you see them as achievements but they got up there to
00:02:08.720 Slam Trump and slam the Trump administration and Iran and everything else.
00:02:15.760 And I'm glad Jesse Jr. called them out.
00:02:20.760 I guess we should probably first listen to what Obama and Biden said.
00:02:28.400 This is Obama, AC2, and he's just, you know, this is a political speech.
00:02:35.660 This isn't a memorial speech for Jesse Jackson.
00:02:38.720 so let's listen to obama wake up to some new assault on our democratic institutions 0.71
00:02:47.900 could you pause for a second he's doing he's doing the black thing let's you know 0.94
00:02:55.380 when when obama gets in front of white people he is the nerdiest obama you know just regular obama 0.96
00:03:04.800 that we saw but you put him in front of black people at a jesse jackson funeral 0.97
00:03:11.900 he starts doing the let me tell you something you got a honey child he's like he turns into uh 0.90

00:03:29.580 an offense to common decency every day you wake up to 0.63
00:03:37.300 to things you just didn't think were possible
00:03:43.360 each day we're told by those in high office to fear each other
00:03:49.380 and to turn on each other
00:03:51.560 and that some Americans count more than others
00:03:55.720 others
00:03:56.840 times like now we're in a tough spot folks oh here's biden we got an administration
00:04:04.040 that doesn't share any of the values that we have i don't think i'm exaggerating a little bit
00:04:10.400 let me just say i predicted a lot about what's happening right now what's happening 0.70
00:04:17.060 she gets a little ghetto too huh i'm not into saying i told you so but we did see it coming 0.98
00:04:27.620 oh my god so they all get up there and they just start you know usual suspects usual business 0.99
00:04:41.480 they start trashing trump and
00:04:44.360 it's a memorial event what are you doing i think they thought they were going to just win the
00:04:53.980 crowd i mean i heard some some mumbling and some yes and all right but uh not bringing the house
00:05:02.560 down by being more divisive than than they usually are uh so then jesse jackson jr uh got up and
00:05:13.800 you know he wasn't happy his father is supposed to be memorialized you got three presidents there
00:05:21.280 and uh a vice president uh camela and uh they just what are they doing they're politicizing
00:05:32.300 the whole thing so i could understand his anger let's listen to jesse jackson jr
00:05:41.020 i listened
00:05:44.300 for several hours of three united states presidents who do not know jesse jackson
00:05:53.420 He maintained a tense relationship with the political order, not because the presidents
00:06:08.520 were white or black, but the demands of our message, the demands of speaking for the least 0.97
00:06:16.380 Most of these, those who were disinherited, the damned, the dispossessed, the disrespected,
00:06:25.520 demanded not Democratic or Republican solutions, but demanded a consistent, prophetic voice
00:06:37.400 that at no point in time ever sold us out as a people.
00:06:44.420 And it speaks volumes about who the Reverend Jesse Jackson was.
00:06:52.080 Our message has already been delivered today.
00:06:54.780 I can see it all over my mother's face.
00:06:58.660 Rise, Jesse, rise.
00:07:02.180 Give Jonathan Jackson another great round of applause for delivering our family message

00:07:20.380 and what do they do they start being all partisan and and uh jesse jr there is saying it's not about
00:07:28.120 republican and democrat it's it's uh what my father believed in and um his mission and uh
00:07:35.880 Jesse liked Trump, at least for a while back in the day, as they call it.
00:07:40.540 He liked Trump.
00:07:43.300 And, you know, Trump employed a lot of people, a lot of people of color.
00:07:50.260 And, you know, Jesse understood that before he became, you know, before Trump became a politician and had to pick a side.
00:07:57.940 He was well liked in a lot of minority communities.
