"That episode. Mark, welcome back to the podcast, a pleasure to have you here. I want to jump right in. We've done a couple episodes recently where we've talked about food corruption and just how kind of messed up the whole industry is and with big food. You have your own story in this area that you wrote about in the book food fix, but I'd love for you to share it with our audience here. Yeah, you know, I think we don't realize how much the food industry is embedded in our policies in social groups that we think are representing people's best interests like the NAACP or the Hispanic federation, how much their infiltrated in professional organizations like the AMA or American diabetes association or democratic American college of cardiology. I mean, every single professional organization, social group, policy organization, they're all infiltrated and influenced by the food industry to the tune of Larry millions and millions of dollars. And it's something that sort of happens below the surface and the face of corporate social responsibility for example, like it brings them an example of something that happened personally to me when I was helping promote the movie fed up, which was about the role of food and sugar in obesity, particularly childhood obesity. And exposed a lot of the sort of industry issues that were going on. And I went to Atlanta and a friend of mine introduced me to Bernie's king, Martin Luther King's daughter, and got to have quite a bit of time with her. And she said, you know, she realized that nonviolence that her father talked about ultimate nonviolence to the self, and that really the African American community really need to be inspired to also look at that. And we talked about showing the movie fed up in the king center in Atlanta. The many of you know that the king center Atlanta is where Martin Luther King had his church ebenezer baptist church, but it also were Coca-Cola's headquarters and Coca-Cola funds the king center. And at first, Bernice was very excited about sharing this movie in the king center and having a showing we had it scheduled, it was all set up. And a few days before the screening, I got a call from her saying, hey, we can't show the movie. And I was sort of flabbergasted. And really it was because the king center is funded by Coca-Cola. She said that outright, she told you explicitly or is just implied. I mean, it was kind of implied. And then I went to visit spelman college, which was one of the major colleges for women. African American women in Atlanta, there's morehouse, which is the men's college and spelman college. And one of the top African American colleges. And they met with the dean there, and she said that 50% of the entering class had a chronic disease of 18 year old women, heart disease, diabetes, high blood pressure, obesity, and I was like, wow, I said, then why are there Coca-Cola machines and vending things all over the campus? And it goes, well, a big portion of our funding comes from Coca-Cola. And if you look at the board of directors, one of the key members of the board is very high level executive at Coca-Cola. So, you know, she understood the problem of this. But, you know, we have a problem in our society where we don't fund education. We don't fund social growth. We don't fund the social safety net. And so these large corporations step in to fund these groups when there's nobody else funding them. So for example, they really don't want soda taxes, right? So you don't want to soda taxes. And they literally have funded the NAACP and Hispanic federation to influence them to oppose soda taxes, which is part of what Callie was talking about. Helping out with the strategy. Exactly. Discriminating against African Americans and Hispanics by targeting them with taxes and its regressive. And there's all these talking points in this state. All these talking points, they even funded an initiative in Philadelphia that was going to pass a soda tax. The children's hospital there, a chop, very famous children's hospital Philadelphia, was in favor of a soda tax in Philadelphia, and Coca-Cola gave them $10 million as a quote donation, which then led to them abruptly withdrawing their support for soda taxes. So that's how they was that blatant. Was anybody making noise about it? Did you see it written about? Yes, this is like, it's not hard to find. You can do a little research and you don't have to think very far to find these things. And in the big soda companies, and particularly in Coca-Cola, they targeted African American and Latino populations because they're already using these compounds more. I call them compounds because they're drugs that are bad for you and soda and sugar. And they realize that they could influence these groups and that they could get them to be even bigger users. So they have a view that if you're for me, they're never going to get me to drink Coca-Cola. But if someone's already using it, you can get them to use more. And that's basically the strategy they use. And they use this through various tactics, for example, with electronic benefits, the food stamp cards. Whenever they come out at the beginning of the month, they'll go to the local markets and they'll give them discounts and then they'll have huge advertisements in the front of the stores that you can get your two liter bottle of soda for like a couple of bucks, right? So they get these things discounted they know when they're coming out and they have a whole marketing campaigns around this. So the whole thing is corrupt. These groups are co opted. The professional medical nutrition groups are co opted academy of nutrition dietetics 40% of their funding comes from the food industry. So it's problematic. It's problematic and kind of why I wanted to have you on to talk a little bit more about it is that there's also a balance of and it's in the context of a lot of these organizations and groups are looking for funding, right? They're looking for resources. You know, earlier, we were talking about Tufts University and we were talking about the food compass, right? And there was recently an article written that there are over 60 big food companies, including several that ranked highly on the food compass, and again, is there going to be any big institution, right? That doesn't take that money, but also I'm hearing you blatantly say that it's also corrupt. So where do we find that balance? That's there or what is a new system look like? I mean, it's a really great point and I did talk about this in food fix and the key is whether it's the pharmaceutical industry or the food industry, they're all up in everybody's business. And in academic centers, a huge amount of the funding of academic medical

"I appreciate the question. I think you know, we realize you all have many questions on this. We believe and we continue to say that they are most appropriately handled by The White House counsel's office would have to refer you to them on this. With the House oversight committee for any request that they may make, that's an easy one. Again, I have to refer you to White House counsel's office on this. You can't even give a simple pledge that of course we're going to cooperate with an oversight committee in Congress. White House counsel's office also engages with oversight and I would refer you to my colleagues and counsel's office. She essentially said nothing. And then she said, I will not say anything. They can tell you. And then again, I'm not even going to commit that. We will do what seems to be the most sensible thing. Look, from my time in broadcast journalism from my time as an elected official, crisis communications one O one. If you don't want to talk about something, you mentioned a legal case and your hands are tied or you talk about process. And you don't talk about the issue at hand. And that's exactly what's happening right here. If you want to run and hide from an issue, you talk about process or you talk about lawyers. And that's exactly what the Biden White House is doing. And if you don't know something, then you simply have to say, it's just not, it's not my Wheelhouse here. Sorry. They're the experts. But isn't it funny? They all love to opine on all sorts of other things. Almost all the time, even if it's not in their Wheelhouse. They're not the specialists, but they love to opine when they just want to. When they want to kind of jump on the pile on, as they say, pile on to this narrative. But in that case, oh, no, no, no, no. That's not my thing. Well, what's in the president's Wheelhouse is stretching the truth. I mean, this guy can not tell the truth about anything. And look, I'm also a Syracuse university graduate. You know, he basically got jammed up for plagiarizing documents, said he was the head of his class. I mean, I think he even said he was either arrested or in prison with Nelson Mandela. Right. I mean, this guy just, he can't tell the truth about anything. So the president was actually speaking at the ebenezer baptist church in Atlanta, a very famous, obviously, Martin Luther King day. And he's making the claims that after he would go to Catholic mass in the morning, he was very busy attending and going straight to a black church right after the fact. Let's listen.

And I don't know, she's like a deacon at what a preacher at, what are they called their lady preachers at ebenezer? Anyway, she's up there. And she said there, edge the look of disgust on her face as she just shakes her head back and forth. We got to play that one more time. Those are the words of kajan. Drowned Jackson.

So then Biden goes on and he commences to lying to the parishioners of ebenezer baptist church, most of whom it's a traditionally black church, but I saw a white dude in the choir. So it may not be a 100% black anymore. They got a little gentrification going on in the pews. Here's Biden cut 7. Unless they have one thing to rest, that may be a practicing Catholic, we should go to 7 30 mass every morning in high school and get on college before I went to the black church. Not a joke, and you know this. Okay, just curious here. I do not profess to be a theologian, or an expert in church history. But I have been a longtime baptist. And I'm curious, what exactly is the black church? Is that like a denomination or what is he talking about, going to the black church?

I would say that the data in last month's CPI report and the data overall is encouraging and should give us more confidence that we can navigate through this period and bring prices down, transition to a more steady and stable growth path without giving up all the economic gains that we've made. If you look over the last 6 months, we've seen core inflation come down from about 8% annualized on a three month basis to about 3% in the fourth quarter on an annualized basis. That's significant. That's encouraging and we've seen it in the context of ongoing resilience in the labor market. So I think we're seeing the kind of progress we want to see. And now we've got to keep at this.

Businesses and consumers are more likely to engage in risk management when the yield curve is inverted. So they take actions before a recession actually happens. And we're seeing this like small layoffs. Here and there, where companies are getting ready for a slowdown. Or basically stuff we don't see that is happening, companies deciding not to make major investments, delaying until there's more clarity in terms of the business cycle. Just giving that background, what do you think our Federal Reserve could do should do over the next couple of meetings here? So given that this is happening, the deal curve is actually impacting behavior. People are engaging in risk management. It actually reduces the chance that the signal the inverted yield curve is actually accurate in forecasting a recession. The major wild card here is the fed. And the fed was late with all of this talk about transitory inflation, and it didn't make any sense to so many people, including me. So they're very late to the game, and the major wild card here is whether the fed is going to be late again. And what I mean by that is that they don't see that inflation is under control.

"In New York City in December, 1964 just a week after he received the Nobel Peace Prize. This is the United States of Anxiety and Kai Right in this week. We're thinking about Dr King's work as a faith leader. His ideas about the relationship between faith, the church and social justice. I'm joined by Dr Yolanda Pierce, who is dean of the Divinity School at Howard University, and who studies the history of the Black Church. And we could take some of your calls during this section is well, if you have if you if your faith and your politics have ever been in conflict Are. Maybe if you just felt like the religious community you're in wasn't living up to Social justice mission That was important to you. If so, how do you resolve that? Or if you haven't resolved that Maybe you want to ask advice of Dr Pierce. She's a theologian. They have thoughts. 6464357280 that 6464357280. Dr Pierce. We have a question on Twitter already from and this might be a bit bit dense. But I told said I would ask it from our council, one of our council member Stephen Levin. I asked. I wonder how much Dr King was influenced by the very short letter of James written by Jesus, his brother James, the just emphasized deeds over faith alone, in contrast to his rival, Paul, Do you have any answer to that? So that is a dense question, but I think the answer is contained within the question. King was a very close reader of the text. So this is someone who was not only a minister, bi vocational training, but someone who pursued this all the way through the doctoral level and earned a PhD and so he is a close. He was a close reader of the text. The idea that your works Represent your faith that faith without works is dead, that the things that you do, honor. God, It's just that clip that you just played because I think that points us perfectly to the question. King is always talking about what he called some body nous this idea that all people have worth and value and dignity that they are not simply their labor and so the way in which, unfortunately and sort of this capitalist Stick world we value people by their labor. King is saying there's a somebody nous to everybody they have worth. They have value. They have dignity. And so he is reading directly from the text, the biblical text, and I would also say, influenced by other theologians like Howard Thurman, who was so deeply important to someone like King Howard Thurman, black theologian and mystic and, of course, Gandhi and other faith traditions. Where what you do is a reflection of the God that you serve. Absolutely would have read and would have known and would have been acquainted with the words of James. Well. So speaking of dense Texas, I spent the past week reading a book that Senator elect Raphael Warnock wrote several years ago. He's a minister and pastor of Ebenezer Baptist Church in Atlanta. Which is, of course, also Dr King's Church. In any case, the Reverend Warnock wrote a book called the Divided Mind of the Black Church, in which he weighed in on theological debates about social justice and black Christianity. Some of it was a bit over my head if I am on it. But I wonder what are your thoughts on? Reverend warn experts worked as a faith leader meeting before he became Senator Elect Warnock. Dr Weir Knock is a tremendous scholar and has been a tremendous pastor toh Lebanese air He inherited a pretty important mantle. I don't think it is with any kind of careful now. You have to be very, very careful to take on right the mantle of Dr King's Church, so it's like, Oh, wow, This is the pulpit Dr King preach from I see Okay. So he is a very careful scholar and a wonderful preacher. I think that Dr War, knocking his work and his life and certainly now his successful run for Senate Senator Warnock, I think we can begin to call him is the embodiment of exactly what King was trying to do, Which is that the political life and the life of faith live side by side. There is nothing that is not political, and whether or not that is about housing in six Purity. Whether that's about food deserts, whether that's the criminal justice system, which I know that is something that Dr War not deeply cares about the reform of the criminal justice system. These are political issues. But these air also issues for people of faith. And I think the right word here is people of faith. That's the right term to use. This is not confined to Christianity. Christians aren't the only ones concern about the issues of justice. And so we joined with other people of faith and also People who don't have faith who might be atheist and might be agnostics but have a deep moral grounds Ng that what we do for our neighbors, what we do for the other citizens of this country matter and reflect for the people of faith that were made in God's image and likeness. So I think that's where Dr War noch is, and I think it will be interesting for us to see whether he can hold on to the work that he's doing in the Senate and then going back. Back to preach Sunday after Sunday in a world in which his sermons will be scrutinized. Indeed, let's go to Rabbi Janice Elster in Morristown, New Jersey, New Jersey Sorry, Rabbi Elster. Welcome to the show. Thanks for having me. My pleasure. Did you have a question or experience? You wanted to ask that right, Dr Pierce? Why the pleasure that here Dr Pierre speak. Um, I think what she's describing is very much along the lines of my own faith in my own tradition. And I would answer your question. No. At my face, and my politics are not and have not ever been in conflict because my face my my tradition. It's a funny thing to say face when you're talking about Judaism because we are a tradition of action. Of Commandments of commanded acts and Sacred Act. And so what? You would call the Hebrew Bible and we called the Tora is filled with the command to do justice. And so my faith is my politics because my tradition is my ethical and moral compass and it teaches me and guide me how to live and act in the world. Thank you for that. Thank you for that rabbi. And that leads me to I guess the next question for productive pierce and, you know, maybe Rabbi Elster wants to comment, too. We talked about Senator Wardak. But Jonah's self was also elected as the first Jewish American to come into the Senate from Georgia. And many people have sort of pointed to the two of them as evocative of this Black, Christian and Jewish American alliance that fueled so much of the civil rights movement, and I wonder about the roots of that alliance where that came from Dr Pierce. So absolutely. I think it points us in a direct path to the ways in which African Americans in Jewish Americans worked together during the civil rights movement, not without conflict, right one of the things that I most respect when you actually studied the history of the civil rights movement are the ways in which these men and women saw what they had in common, but also acknowledged that interfaith work can sometimes be very difficult. But a deep respect for both traditions for the text, a deep respect, as the rabbi just indicated for works. What are you going to do? But also again? I want to point us. Historically, you have African American Christians in the 18th and 19th century. Working so hard to establish places of faith of their own. You have Jewish Americans in this country who are also establishing the first synagogues in North America, and both groups are facing persecution for their faith..

"Her listening to the Daily Dive weekend edition. Also this week it became official Democrats have taken control of the Senate. Both Raphael Warnock and John Assaraf won their Senate runoff races in Georgia. Splitting the chamber 50 50. Giving Vice President elect Kamila Harris the tie breaking vote. Warnock is achieved many historic first, including becoming the first black Democrats senator from Georgia. For more on how Raphael Warnock Juan will speak to Maya King politics reporter at Politico When we think about Southern politics. It's very easy, Todos oc, a tit with older, antiquated policies, perhaps a lack of diversity on representation, and even just the general slower pace in the way that politicians passed laws, the policies that they prioritize and People in communities that they're thinking about when these policies that they pass and that a Jap but Russia Oh, we're not as a senior pastor of Ebenezer Baptist Church as a That pact share of the New Georgia project and as a first time politician seems to combine a number of different world you old south of the Black Church, and of the black prophetic tradition and the new south of targeting black voters and rule voters. Young voters first time boner. And including this many people as possible in the democratic process and making sure that they not only are registered to vote but that they turn out immobilized on behalf of Democrats and that they have a role in the political process and in The policy debates that are set to take place and so the folks that I talk to you about Raphael Warnock in the campaign, of course, talking to them. They've made it very clear that they believe that this Candidate. Now, Senator Elect Rafael, We're not is again a combination of all of these worlds and that he'll bring that knowledge of both the old 1000 the South, he will apply it in his own governing strategies. Now as senator this year. Yeah, he's gonna be the first black Democrat from Georgia, the first black Democrat from the South, really an impressive win there, and he had to fight back a lot of attacks from his opponent, Kelly Leffler. Attempts to basically make him look like he was a socialist just really lot of attacks on his character and the way he would be operating there in the Senate. And really none of that worked. No Raphael Warnock was indeed the most attacked candidate of all four candidates and Georgia Senate race. Republicans made a lot of efforts invested a lot of money into portraying him as a radical as a Marxist as a generally dangerous figure, and those attacks in the end really didn't take hold. In large part because ah lot of their attacks on war not also vilified. The black Church and black religious black faith. Tradition and overwhelming number of black voters in Georgia are Christians and our religious or practice some kind of faith. They were she really offended by these attacks and were very vocal about how much they dislike them. Not just for The way that Republicans went after their candidate of choice in war knock, but also on how they attacked their faith and how they attacked their religious tradition that not only encouraged them to turn out in large numbers. But again, it gave them a message to get behind and saying that this is not just a political campaign, in the words of one representative was the end of the key president in Georgia, who I spoke to But it's also a moral issue is what he explained to me. And it was that overwhelming support from black voters that really want him the seat on this one. We're expected to see John Aasif win over Republican Senator David Perdue. This would give the Senate and even 50 50 split with Democratic senators and Republican senators, which will be an interesting thing because that sets up vice president elect Kamila Harris to be the tie breaking vote in any of the situations that married it, So the Democrats are really coming into this with a very strong hand. Joe Biden, president elect Has an opportunity here to really push through things that are on his agenda and maybe get some action done in Congress, which we haven't seen in a long time. Well, this certainly gives him an opportunity to pass the most ambitious policies that he and his team have been thinking about. And we don't quite know the specific supposed but we do know there'll likely be along the lines of, of course, covert relief for communities and communities of color. Criminal justice reform and policing, reform and overhaul, perhaps of the ways that we think about health care or national security. And these are all things, of course, against the backdrop Now of really what? We're seeing an insurrection on Capitol Hill. I think this puts into perspective just how important Overhauls of policies in the ways that we think about government systems in this country will have to be addressed, and it will ultimately be a huge responsibility of the Bible Caress administration to address these topics and they'll certainly need the help. Of the Senate and the House, which they now it seems we'll have control over. That's kind of step one. Now, as you mentioned, we're seeing what's happening. Three Capitol Building, The Biden Harris administration is going to have to address that first and try to bring people together and calm. Some of these Really inflamed feelings that are going on. That's the first thing to go through and then on to getting the agenda passed, so we'll definitely have to monitor all of that. Maya King Politics reporter at Politico. Thank you very much for joining us. Thanks for having me in this week of big political news all started last weekend. Georgia was the center of the political world as we waited the runoff elections, and President Trump made a curious call to the secretary of state in Georgia to pressure him into re calculating the vote. In his favor. It was an hour long phone call that might have been illegal and for more on that will speak to Natalie Jennings, editor of the Fix at The Washington Post, So the call was between President Trump and the Georgia Republican secretary of state, though while he's a Republican, it seemed pretty clear to anyone who's been following the story that Rapids Burger was very certain in the count that he had ever seen, and so unclear to me why President Trump in his legal team thought that this would be a persuasive venture. Rapid Burger has been very consistent that the election and the multiple recounts that have happened there turned out exactly what the voters wanted in that state and President Trump.

"Flipping would impact Did the church have and motivate getting African American voters to participate in Tuesday's run off on this? First of all, let me thank you for this opportunity to share with you on the The day that we celebrate. What? What History was made on last evening with the election of Senator Let war knock on. Of course, we're waiting to just get the good news about Nixon. It also sent it to all summer. But I kind of to ask the question as you christen the black Church was born out of protest when we were told the maid to go to church as slaves. We had to stand outside looking the window or had to stand in the back or be in the balcony. And the protests of the fact is that they were preaching a Christ that loved everybody. And they were not feeling very loved. And so even if they went to the church of the slave master, the slave owner at night they would steal away. It will go to what they will call or churches, arbors or by the creek, where they would have their own worship service That would bless them. And it was in those services that the slave preacher what refute what the white preacher was saying, by, say, God made us to be free. Remember the Children of Israel that were in bondage and that God would send a Moses so they never, ever were passive and just feel like they were being treated as a human as a god creature, uh on, so they began to start their own. Brush harbors and their own orchid. That's right now you hear church is called Chestnut Grove, Piney Grove. Those kind of things and so they will start their churches. And so when we were emancipated Congress, most African Americans almost all decided to go and start their own churches. Most churches right here in Atlanta, 150 years old. They were caught. They started their own church right out right out of slavery. So it was born out of protest. We never felt welcome in the church of the other culture. Much of the advertising directed at Senator elect Warn not was negative and also attack the church did that energize voters? I think so. I think so. You know, even people who don't go to church regularly loved the church because most of us were raised to do Easter speeches, Christmas pageants, son of the junior choir on the Usher board would have and so the church is in us that we love it. We love the gathering of God's people. And, of course, even today, not as much. Sometimes the church is the only place African Americans can feel some worth. That's why you know, you probably grew up in a church and I may be off script here where you always have a deacon walking around with 500 keys on his key chain. He knew he could open every door, you know, but he was a person that was a laborer through the week. But we will come to church and his deacon. Somebody a mother somebody. So the point I'm making the answer Your question. Is that yes, it did affect those of us. Who are in the black Church to criticize our voice in our liberation message. Because we do preacher liberation message and kindness is unfortunate. Some of our churches. They want us to be European. They want us not to preach liberty and voter registration. And sometimes when you go to the other church, they don't ever mention voter registration scholarships and we don't feel comfortable. And because our people need that empowerment and so, yes, it did affect us, and it caused us to answer the question. Are we just meeting on Sunday? The meat? Are we liberating people? And so I applaud the servants. Senator elect Reverend Warnock says he's going to continue to preach on Sunday and Ebeneezer. Is he gonna be able to do that? So that he can stay connected to the community? Well, of course, you know is going to be a challenge. It will be something he has to deliberately do. But it does have he has ah, persons like Representative Cleaver, representative Flakes in New York was a representative Dr Adam Clayton Powell passive the ever Senior Baptist Church in Harlem. My doctor Wanna worship is a student in New York so it can be done. You just have to have an understanding foundation that you may not be able to do. A funeral on Wednesday may not be there all the time, but he does have a wonderful staff and I'm sure the members will be taken care off, but I believe he will do just that. He'll come back to Lebanese on the weekends. Dr. Flipping final question. He talked to us a little bit about the significance of Reverend Warnock Election. Morehouse Man from Savannah, pastor of Ebenezer Baptist Church being elected to the United States and it from the Deep South. I mean, that is absolutely amazing. It is amazing. Young man 11 child of 12 Children living in a housing project. It had the desire to come in land and go to Morehouse, because that's where Dr King went and he didn't know how he was gonna pay. When he came to Atlanta, and he excelled in Morehouse and then went on to get his master's and PhD. I think what it sends a signal to us just as the election of Barack Obama. No matter where you're from, or your background in this country, If you work hard and be honest and studios, you can achieve anything that you want to in life. And so it is a wonderful, wonderful example that only two young people but all of us if we have not reached the goal, Dr Mae said, you know, Ah, Lo Amos of Sin. And I think his election says to us. You can make it. No excuses. You can be what God has called you to be. Dr William Flipping, senior pastor of Greater Piney Grove Baptist Church. We thank you very much. I appreciate you so much. Have a good good day. Heavy start to the show this week, but I'm going to flip the script and lighten it up. I know many of us are still working from home. There's no need to let yourself go. Coming up. Next. We'll talk to an expert on how to look your best on all these video calls. I don't think you're gonna like him to say about the zoom in the video conference life. A lot of times I've heard stories from HR professionals who have been interviewing people on Zoom and Amazon rings at that person's doorbell, and they stand up and some people have told me they've seen body parts that we shouldn't see. On camera or pajamas pants, So I think there's a balance of comfort but also putting on real close. This is perspectives. Perspectives. Is the Community.

Number two is that America is systemically racist, and its police are systemically Racists, which is one hell of a message to put out after police officer dies defending the capital, which is what happened this week. And message number three is a Chanel shut the hell up and shut up. And not only that there should be forcible attempts to shut you up. It's not just that you should be quiet. It's that there should be companies geared toward shutting you up. All the company should basically stop doing business with you that that everybody should stop allowing you a platform. Michelle Obama Queen of Light and wonder. She put out a statement. Here's what it said. I woke up yesterday, elated by the news of Reverend Raphael Warnock selection victory will be George's first black senator.

My heart had fallen harder and faster than I can remember. Like all of you. I watched as a gang or organized, violent mad they'd lost an election late speech. The United States Capitol today was the fulfillment of the wishes of an infantile, unpatriotic president who can't handle the truth of his own failures. The wreckage lays at the feet of a party and media apparatus that gleefully cheered him on it knowing full well the possibility of consequences like these So here's Here's where we go right is that everybody knew everybody knew this is gonna be the revisionist history here is that everybody knew that the capital was going to be stormed. Okay, well, that's the way they were gonna play this game. And everybody knew that a police officer that six Dallas police officer who was shot to death by a beeline activist during Obama's administration, I mean with rhetoric, saying that America was systemically Racists in the police were systemically racist. I mean, everybody knew that was gonna come to this. And if we're gonna play this game, everybody knew there could be riots in Ferguson every year. They're gonna be rides in Washington, D C. Everybody knew that businesses really get burned and looted all around the country this summer. Everybody knew all that stuff. Okay, That's not how this game gets played. Okay.

Well, there's certainly gives him an opportunity to pass the most ambitious policies that he and his team have been thinking about. And we don't quite know the specifics of those. But we do know there'll likely be along the lines, of course, covert relief for communities and communities of color, criminal justice, reform and policing, reform and overhaul, perhaps of the ways that we think about health care. Our national security and loser all things, of course, against the backdrop Now of really what? We're seeing an insurrection on Capitol Hill. I think this puts into perspective just how important Overhauls of policies in the ways that we think about government systems in this country will have to be addressed. And it will ultimately be a huge responsibility of the Biden Harris administration to address these topics, and they'll certainly need the help of the Senate and the house, which they now it seems we'll have control over. That's kind of step one. Now, as you mentioned, we're seeing what's happening. At the Capitol building. The Biden Harris administration is going to have to address that first and try to bring people together and calm some of these really inflamed feelings that are going on. That's the first thing to go through and then on to getting the agenda passed, so We'll definitely have to monitor all of that. Maya King Politics reporter at Politico.

"Rights activist and icon who became a moral force in the United States. Congress will be laid to rest. Today. He's been celebrated in a series of memorials this week and this past Sunday, he received a hero's sendoff in his native state of Alabama. And on Monday, Congressman Lewis was honored in Washington, DC It was an emotional Ceremony with lawmakers. His colleagues Speaker of the House, Nancy Pelosi, played a portion of a speech that Lewis gave to graduates at Emory University in 2014. As young people. You must understand that there are forces that would take us back to another period. But you must know that would mark warned by way made too much progress and we're going to make you some step back. Some delays some disappointment, but you must never give up. I give in. You must keep the faith and keep so eyes on the prize. That is so calling. That is your mission That is tomorrow. Obligation that is oh, man. They get out there and do it getting away. Lewis lay in state in the Capitol Rotunda following the ceremony, making him the first black lawmaker to receive that honor. And today, Congressman Lewis comes home to Atlanta, Georgia. The funeral service is being held at the historic Ebeneezer Baptist Church, where the Reverend Martin Luther King Jr was once co pastor and joining us Now is Emma Hurt. She's a reporter with our member station W. A. B in Atlanta, and she joins us live from outside of Ebeneezer Baptist and Emma describe what it's like there where you are right now. Hi, Emma. Can you hear me? Emma will be joining us shortly. She is outside of Ebenezer Baptist Church. Now let's go to Debbie Elliot. We'll check back in with Emma. And just a few moments. Hi, Debbie. How are you? I am good. I know that you spent a lot of time in Alabama over the weekend. There were several memorials and services. It was quite a scene. Right. You know, I think the thing that stands out the most was was when he was in Selma and his casket was on this horse drawn carriage. And it crossed the Edmund Pettus Bridge, of course, that iconic place where he was met with state troopers and sheriff's deputies who beat him up in a peaceful march for voting rights. Back in 1965 and people had come to sort of witness him make that Symbolic final crossing. Yeah, you've been You've known the congressman for for many years. You spoke with him back in 2015 at that. Edmund Pettus Bridge. Tell us about that. Yes. So this was in advance of 50th anniversary celebrations marking You know, 50 years since the Voting Rights Act passed because of that horrible incident on that bridge. The nation in the world really became aware of the brutality against African Americans who were pushing for equality in the American South. And so I met him there. We stood at the foot of the bridge, and we had a conversation about what it was like back then. And let's listen to a little bit, and he describes what happened on that came before. Beating us. Shrimping with horses. Releasing the tick and I was getting here. A state trooper with the night stick. My legs went from under me. I thought I was going to die. I thought I saw death. He thought he saw death, You know, and this was a moment where he had been that the the sheriff's deputy in the state troopers told them you have to turn back. We're not going to let you march to Montgomery. And they asked to kneel in prayer and as they went to kneel in prayer before they were going to turn back and go back to their churches. They were told. The meeting started. Tell me what's so powerful about that moment in history is that it was it was. It was a time where people were able to see for the first time the brutality. Those images were so powerful. It was labeled bloody Sunday and it sped up the passages you said of the 1965 Voting Rights Act. Debbie will will come back to you a little later to talk more about that. That's NPR's Debbie Elliot. We now have with us in the hurt. She is a reporter with our member station W. Abe in Atlanta, and she's outside of Ebeneezer Baptist Church where services will be held today. And Emma describe for us what it's like for you out there right now what you're seeing. Okay. Hi, Emma. This is Tanya. Can you hear me? Hi. Yeah. Can you hear me? I can I know that. It's It's quite a crowd. Okay? Can you tell us a bit about what you're seeing out there? I'm seeing I'd say about 200 people out here and we've kind of got to groups. We've got the people that are starting to gather at the Jumbotron, which has been set up right outside the church. I'm waiting to watch the service live there. And then we've got a crowd of people who are who are welcoming people as they arrive, welcoming the VIPs on presidential watch. Right now, I would say, waiting waiting for the three former presidents who are going to attend today and speak and the mood here is is really. I mean, it's it's serious, but it's also so joyful. It's about singing, and the stories that people have been telling me are just really powerful stories of how much Congressman Lewis meant to them. How much his message means to them in this time. And how much they want their Children and their grandchildren to make sure to remember him and what he stood for. What's really powerful, a swell about his home state of of his home state of Georgia and the city of Atlanta. Is that so many people felt like they knew him because they met him. You're hearing all of those stories from folks, I'm sure their interactions with him. Ebeneezer Baptist has so much history is I mentioned earlier, Martin looking Junior was a co pastor their share with us the significance of that church. Well, this was this was more Luther King Juniors from church. He grew up in it and was pastor as you said. It was also John Lewis's Home Church, where his wife's funeral was held in 2013. And it's really special. I think for these two figures overlap in this In this part of Atlanta to on Auburn Avenue, which is really the centre of Black Atlanta life, and some would argue the center of the Civil Rights movement and the two figures. I mean yesterday what was so powerful about Congressman Lewis lying in state in the Capitol in Georgia was that this was an honor denied to Dr King when he died. So I spoke to people who said I'm here because of all the people like Dr King who were denied that honor. And here we are giving Congressman Lewis most them may be the most honor. That we can right now. Sure, Let's listen to some of those folks that you spoke with you. It was amazing. It was amazing. All people on the young people. A lot of my friends has passed away. But I remember him from there. So that's why you mentioned This church being in the Hart. I just want to tell you that was Patricia Spicer, who's here, and she was talking about seeing Congressman Lewis speak at the 1963 march on Washington and that that's why his words were so powerful then and grabbed her then and she had to come today. The body of John Lewis was brought to Atlanta yesterday, and as you mentioned, it passed a number of important landmarks in the city. Walk us through. Some of those final landmarks that this journey to finally to Ebeneezer Baptist Church. There were there were quite a few stops because, as you said, Congressman Lewis has been such a presence in his district for, you know, 30 plus years. There was a pause at the Rainbow Crosswalk in Midtown, which you know, celebrates LGBT Q. The LGBTQ community here they passed by his downtown congressional office and a major street here that was renamed after him in the John Lewis Freedom Parkway on DH. It was there was also a big stop at a mural that you, Khun see driving down the interstate that runs through Atlanta. It has a picture of John Lewis and the words hero and, you know, it was really powerful. Tio. Watch him land for the last time in Atlanta and to watch him, you know, make his his final journey around the city. That's Emma hurt. She's a reporter with our member station. W. A. B in Atlanta. Thank you so much. Thank you. We're going to bring in another voice to our conversation. Remembering today the life and legacy of Congressman John Lewis Bishop Leah Daughtry is with us. Now. She's a political organizer and strategist. She ran. The Democratic National Convention is in 2008 in 2016 and she is the presiding prelate of the House of the Lord Churches. And there is perhaps no one better to talk about the intersection of faith in politics in this moment, which is what's so much of John Lewis's life really represents Bishop. Doctor. Thank you for being here. Good morning to you. And thank you very much from including this conversation. I guess I would just start by asking where your thoughts are this morning. Oh, you know, in the it's Ah, it's a powerful day. In the African American tradition. We call this the services home going And so they are mix of sorrow and sadness, but also great joy, particularly when it's someone like Mr Lewis, who has lived his life in such an exemplary way and in keeping with the principles of his faith that we know that he And our tradition. He's going home to be with the creator. And so we rejoice in bed and in the deeply held idea that we will see him again. So the mix of emotions on and I'm looking forward to the servants and being able to worship with those who have gathered To celebrate his life. The the word and his faith came before politics, did it. Not that was with what guided him first? Yes, yes, And I think that's so instructive for all of us who are people of faith. He was deeply guided by the principles of the face that he held so deeply and so closely and though that is what informed him and informed his action. Informed his decision to get involved in the civil rights movement on then to pursue a career in electoral politics. It's because of the ideals of of of our faith of our share faith that God intends for all of us. To live a full and abundant life. It holds us equally ah, in God's eyes and ah, divinely created and therefore in endowed with these Possibilities of being hole and equal. And then we have an obligation to pursue of society that sees us as God. And so for John Lewis that meant getting involved in the civil rights movement. That meant going on the bus boycotts being part of the leadership because it was he was pursuing the principal's off his face. And then in his later life, Of course, he came to Congress again, seeking ways to create a just society, a beloved community that treats all of its citizens equally. That has got had intended them to be he. It was almost a joke near the end of his life. How often he was asked to talk about preaching to chickens as a child on how readily he wanted to share that story, right? It was, he just he reveled in it of the idea of Off the joy he had as a very young man. I mean, eight years old, even sharing what he believed to be the most important important message there, Wass and and it helped him. Negotiate through through Washington. It helped him find ways to communicate with people with whom he disagreed. This's a very important part of his legacy is enough. It is it is, you know it and it tells you how deeply held his faith was. You know in these days, particularly when people are chasing followers, and ah likes and so forth on social Media network to think of this young man who who so loved his face. It was so impassioned by that any audience any Opportunity. He had to share his fate. Even with the chickens, Wass and was a chance to home his craft was a chance to get his ideas out was a chance. The tests, cadences and rhythms of words was a chance to share was the chickens and with those around the pick of the air, the grass the field how passionate he was about things that he believed and then bringing those ideals to Congress and understanding again. The people I help The idea of our faith that God has created a so equal And so if this idea that you don't have to be just like me to be just like me, there's something we have in common with each other. And if we can just talk if we can just be in conversation, we can see each other perhaps here because we may not still agree, but at least The tendency to demonize the unknown goes away lesson diminishes in the conversation. And who could refuse the conversation with Mr Lewis, who could refuse to just sit and talk and listen, and he was as good a listener. As he Waas a conversationalist. So you know, I think the Congress was richer for having him there on the Congress was Richard that his colleagues were Richard for just being able to be in conversation with someone who has deeply held ideal of deeply held conviction and experience. We should point out. Three former presidents are expected to get the memorial today. Bill Clinton. Barack Obama and and George W. Bush. I mean, just exemplifying the way that he he was very firm about what he believed and believed in his party, but he would work with Republicans if it meant Getting getting through the legislation he thought was most important. That's right. I mean, red and blue. These sorts of lines. These artificial divisions that we create among ourselves to categorize each other didn't really existed. Mr Lewis's lexicon. It was all about the humanity of people, and so has admit moving communities forward if admits Getting everybody the rights they deserve. Then he was willing to have the conversation. He was willing to be engaged and involved. And we see that in the folks that are going to speak today that are going to be present today at the tone and the tenor of the service, which he himself Designed. He spoke to his his closest staff. A. Stephen knew his time was shortening and said, who he wanted to be there. And what's the one of the elements of the club is to be what we see. Today is of Mr Lewis's own crafted bishop. Doctor, Can I ask one quick question if you were involved in the ceremony today, Realism putting you on the spot. But is there scripture that you think represents this moment, something you can point to that that carries the weight of history with it, but also Is about hope is about the future. You know, The thing that comes to mind for me is the passage and Hebrews. There's a chapter the faith chapter. We call it. Chapter 11 that talks about all the icons of our faith. Abraham and Sarah and getting and so forth on a long litany and in the middle of verse 13 says these all died in the faith, not having received the promises. But having seen them afar off, and for me that speaks of the hope. That was Mr Lewis's life. He stood on the shoulders of those who went before who didn't see freedom who didn't think the achievement of our civil rights. He followed them and he lived his life in such a way that he advanced the faith. He advance the causes, but he didn't see all of the achievement. And now we come behind him on continue his legacy. So he believed he held these convictions didn't scenes didn't see everything he fought for comes repair, But he still believed he still continue fighting. And henceforth Scripture goes on to say there was laid up for me A crown of righteousness was the Lord. That right? Justo shall give me on that day. And not to me only bought to all those who love disappearing. And so we look forward to seeing the two of us again in the future. Bishop Leah Daughtry. Thank you so much for sharing your reflections with us on this day. Thank you. Yes, very powerful. Let's go now to NPR. Congressional correspondent Kelsey Snell and NPR's senior editor and correspondent on the Washington desk. Ron Elving. Hey, guys. Kelsey. Good morning. We've heard so many powerful tributes from people throughout the country and the world. But But Louis is home state of Georgia. His presence and work had an especially profound. Meaning for his home state of Georgia for his district. Tell us a little bit more about his time there. You know, I am reminded of a couple of really, really standout moments of. I think one of the things that I think about a lot right now is the tribute that that they delivered for Johnny Isakson, who was a Republican senator. Of from Georgia, who retired last year, and in 2019 it was in November. So just just so a bit ago, Johnny Isakson was being was being honored and John Lewis Delivered this speech explaining how they could work together and and how there was an opportunity for anybody to find spaces where they agreed. And then, at the end of his speech, he walked across the Isaacson, who was in bad health and who had had trouble with his spine and said I will come to you brother and walked over and gave him a hug. That was really very much representative of the way. That John Lewis approached, you know, working on problems was what he wanted there to be bipartisanship. He wanted to be the person who came across, walked across and shake somebody's hand gave them a hug and said We can get something done here. He was also the kind of person who, whenever you saw him in the capital. There would be some person some tourist or a constituent who wanted to come and talk to him, and there was always had the time he had the time to tell his story had the time to talk to people about their story. He was extremely generous with his time and his constituents were known to come up to the capital and spent time directly with him. There was never a moment when it team like he was bigger than anybody else. Yeah, it's been Ah, so enriching and so fun over the last week to hear how so many people that I personally no have have met John Lewis, whether it's in Washington whether it's in Atlanta. New York Across the country. People have had a chance to meet him, but also have these intimate one on one conversations with him A CZ. We've learned he never turned anyone away. He was always willing to stop and have those conversations. One of the things that jumps out to me was a story about Congressman Lewis. When Hey, was in his district and he would spend a day doing a job in the district so even way back in the seventies, he would do things like drive a ups truck for a day to get a sense of what his constituents were up against. That is something that so many people feel is that he was of the people. Absolutely, and a lot of members of Congress that I speak to say they learned from that approach. They learned from John Lewis not just from the work that he did in civil rights, but the way he had a relationship with his constituents the way that he continued to speak about issues that meant something to him and then became active in them. I am reminded of the sit in on the House floor. On gun violence. He led House Democrats in a sit in and following. I believe the pulse shooting and they said that this was not a time when they could leave, and then he wanted to be the person who, you know who did the good trouble that he always talks about. He did not want to just be a person talking about it. He wanted to be a person involved in it. And you know so many members of Congress on Democrats and Republicans who felt inspired by that personal connection to his beliefs. The service eyes expected to begin shortly, and about 10 5 or 10 minutes. Ron, I'd love to go through with you what we can expect for today's service. But I want to talk first about Lewis's time as a civil rights activist, part of the movement back in the sixties. We expect to hear a lot about that today during the service, right?

He was part of the citizens at lunch counters in Nashville. He was one of the original 13 Freedom riders in 1961 integrating bus travel in the south. He was the youngest speaker on that day in 1963 when the march on Washington for jobs and justice featured Martin Luther King's I have a Dream speech. John Lewis spoke that day was the youngest speaker. He's the last person surviving from the speakers Dyas that day. And then, of course, the 1965 moment we have referenced Many times his beating on the Pettus Bridge. And, of course, his career in Congress, As Kelsey has described and then his links to the Black lives matter movement, which he paid tribute to In death as his cortege was coming to the capital earlier this week and paused on black lives matter Plaza in front of the White House to pay tribute to the movement and the people who are carrying forward his ideals today.
