No doubt, Dr. KIng would speak out - USA ID Nov 21, 2025

Show notes

Jesse Jr welcomes Dr. Johnny Mack, guest host of “The world house” As they consider Dr. King‘s position on USA ID and our soft power around the world. It’s more than good citizenship for King, it is the difference between the largest military budget in the world and willfully neglecting to share with people who are hungry, thirsty and need only the basics to express gratitude with tears. There is a cost, and King called it out every time - to whom much has been given, much is required.” We are not wrong for calling it out. We are wrong when we don’t.

These are serious considerations on the world stage with long-term implications.

Dr. Todd Yeary, Former RainbowPush chair joins Jesse Jr as they discuss Southern California Edison’s continued refusal to speak with Tavis Smiley and the people of Altadena who lost everything in fires that resulted from the company’s failure to cut the power off as they did other communities according to an investigative report by NPR. How would Reverend Jackson have handled this? The answer is a well planned zone offense. While people may not get their most prized possessions back, or the 19 lives lost may not be redeemed, certainly, the electric company should surely meet with the people, face-to-face, even if they don’t admit to guilt.
