TREY: WELCOME BACK TO
"SUNDAY NIGHT IN AMERICA,"
JUNE 19, 1865, TROOPS
ARRIVED IN GAL GRAVEL
GALVESTON, TEXAS TO OFFER
FREEDOM, 2 1/2 YEARS SINCE
EMANCIPATION PROCLAMATION,
ALMOST 9 YEARS SINCE 90
YEARS.
JUNETEENTH IS A CELEBRATION
OF FREEDOM, A A REMIND OF
THE PAIN OF THE PAST, OUR
NEXT GUEST LIVED ALL 3.
PAIN, PROGRESS AND PROMISE,
DR. BEN CARSON.
RETIRED NEUROSURGEON, WE HAD
A CHANCE TO VISIT.
ON MY PODCAST, I WAS STRUCK
BY YOUR DESIRE, YOUR
AFFIRMATIVE DESIRE TO ASCEND
TO AACCENTUATE THE POSITIVE.
>> THANK YOU, HAPPY FATHER’S
DAY TO ALL OF THE FATHERS.
AN IMPORTANT PART OF OVER
FAMILY.
>> JUNETEENTH IS SO
IMPORTANT IT ACTUALLY
EFFICIENTLY RECOGNIZES THE
EMANCIPATION OF THE SLAVES,
SLAVERY WAS A HORRIBLE
THING, NO QUESTION.
I THINK WE NEED TO RECOGNIZE
THAT SLAVERY HAS BEEN A PART
OF VIRTUALLY EVERY
CIVILIZATION.
SINCE THERE HAS BEEN WRITTEN
HISTORY.
WE IN AMERICA HAVE ACTUALLY
DONE SOMETHING THAT NO ONE
ELSE REALLY DID.
THAT IS WE HAD SO MANY
PEOPLE WHO ARE OPPOSED TO
IT.
THAT WE THOUGHT A CIVIL WAR,
A BLOODY CIVIL WAR.
TO GET RID OF THIS EVIL THAT
SAYS SOMETHING ABOUT THIS
NATION.
AS A PEOPLE.
WE’RE NOT ALL THE SAME, WE
HAVE A LOT OF DIFFERENT
OPINIONS.
BUT, OVERALL TENDENCY WAS TO
MOVE TOWARD FREEDOM.
AND JUSTICE FOR PEOPLE.
THIS IS WHAT WE NEED TO BE
TEACHING OUR CHILDREN.
WE NEED TO ENHANCE THAT.
WE NEED TO LEARN FROM THAT
WE NEED TO BUILD ON THAT.
RATHER THAN BACK AND
DREDGING UP EVERY NEGATIVE
THING WE COULD FIND AND
SAYING THAT IS WHAT WE ARE.
THAT WE CAN’T GET AWAY FROM
IT.
TREY: YOU KNOW DR. CARSON,
YOU PUT YOUR FINGER ON IT
SOMETHING THAT HAS VEXED MY,
HISTORY AND PAIN ARE GREAT
TEACHERS.
BUT WHAT IS THE RIGHT WAY TO
LOOK AT THE PAIN OF
YESTERDAY FOR MANY
AMERICANS.
AND KIND OF BALANCE THAT
WITH WHERE WE ARE TODAY?
YOU DON’T WANT TO EMPHASIS
ONE.
BUTS THAT TO BE A PLAN HOW
DO YOU STRIKE THAT BALANCE?
>> I THINK YOU HAVE TO BE
TRUTHFUL ABOUT YOUR HISTORY,
YOUR HISTORY IS WHAT GIVES
YOU YOUR IDENTITY, THAT IS
WHAT YOUR BELIEFS ARE BUILT.
IF YOU DISRUPT THAT CHAIN.
THEN YOU BECOME LIKE A LIKE
A LEAF BUYING IN THE WIND --
BLOWING IN THE WIND, YOU CAN
LEARN FROM GOOD AND BAD,
WISE PEOPLE DON’T TRY TO
COVER THE BAD UP OR REWRITE
THE BAD, THEY LEARN FROM
THED BAD AND BUILD ON THE GOOD, THAT IS WHY KNEE HAVE
GOOD, THAT IS WHY KNEE HAVE
SO ITHAVE THE SOPHISTICATED
BLAINES,BRAINS.
WE HAVE THE ABILITY TO PLAN
IN ADVANCE BECAUSE OF OUR
BRAINS, WE DON’T JUST HAVE
TO SIT AROUND AND REACT LIKE
AN ANIMAL.
TREY: YOU KNOW MORE ABOUT
THE COMPLEXITY OF HUMAN
BRAIN.
THERE IS A HUNGER AMONG
PEOPLE OF GOOD CONSCIENCE TO
GIVE OUT DR. KING’S
CHALLENGE TO JUDGE ONE
ANOTHER BY THE CONTENT OF
OUR CHARACTER, NOTHING ELSE.
HOW CAN WE DO A BETTER JOB
OF THAT?
DOING WHAT WE ENCOURAGED US
TO DO?
>> I THINK WE HAVE TO LOOK
AT WHAT IS GOING ON, WE HAVE
TO BE PROACTIVE AND TEACHING
PARTICULARLY OUR YOUNG
PEOPLE ABOUT IT.
THAT IS WHY AMERICAN
CORNERSTONE WE HAVE PATRIOT
-- THE LITTLE PATRIOT
PROGRAM, WE HAVE A NEW BOOK
CALLED, RED, WHITE AND BLUE,
OUR FLAG IS IMPORTANT TO ME
AND YOU.
WE WANT OUR YOUR HONOR YOUNG CHARGED TO TO -- CHANCE TO
CHARGED TO TO -- CHANCE TO
STABTD MGD ARE ARE.
>> CHILDREN IS TO START
UNDERSTANDING FROM AN EARLY
AGE.
WE’LL FOUGHT SO HARD TO GIVE
US THE FREEDOMS WE HAVE.
PEOPLE WHO DOWN APPRECIATE
OUR FREEDOMS, THAT WOULD BE
NICE IF MAKE LIVE IN SOME
OTHER PARTS OF THE WORLD FOR
A WHILE THEY WOULD HAVE A
TREMENDOUS APPRECIATION FOR
OR FREEDOM IT IS IMPORTANT
TO UNDERSTAND AND PROTECT IT
FOR THOSE COMING BEHIND US,
IN PARTICULARLY OUR YOUNG
PEOPLE, I ENCOURAGE PEOPLE
TO GO TO OUR WEB SITE,
LITTLE PATRIOTS
LEARNING.COM.
BEAUTIFUL ILLUSTRATED
CARTOONS, LESSONS, ABOUT OUR
HISTORY.
AND HOW WE SHOULD LOOK AT
IT.
THE GOOD, BAD AND UGLY IN A
POSITIVE LIGHT.
IT IS FREE OF CHANGE BECAUSE
OF PEOPLE WHO DONATED AND
PROCEEDS THE THINGS LIKE THE
BOOK GO TO CREATE MORE
PROGRAMS.
TREY: DR. BEN CARSON THANK
YOU FOR JOINING US, HAPPY
FATHER’S DAY, I WOULD BE
REMISS, WITHOUT MAKING
MENTION NO ROLE YOUR MOTHER
