>> when martin luther king, jr. stood up and started speaking, and later as he continued to speak, and he got to that point where he said, "i have a dream today, a dream deeply rooted in the american dream," i looked at him -- i've heard him speak so many times -- and i knew then that he knew that he was getting over to the american people, and that he was preaching a great sermon. and that's what he did. he, in a good sense -- he took advantage of the situation. he had the largest audience he ever had. he had been to washington before, like in 1957, on may 17th, 1957, and spoke on the steps. but this audience was different. it was larger. and i think he was inspired. i think he was inspired by god almighty. i think he had been tracked down by what i call the spirit of history. and he responded. >> i have a dream that one day even the state of mississippi, a state sweltering with the heat of injustice, sweltering with the heat of oppression, will be transformed into an oasis of freedom and justice. i have a dream th

and when martin luther king decided in 1967 that he would go public with his opposition to the war in vietnam, one of the things that he said was, well, it's like muhammad ali says, we're all victims of a system of oppression. >> it is my hope that every young man in this country who finds this war objectionable, and abominable, and unjust will file as a conscientious objector. and no matter what you think of mr. muhammad ali's religion, you certainly have to admire his courage. >> and so what you had there was martin luther king drawing upon the experience of muhammad ali as a way to defend his own position, which at the time, was extremely unpopular. so i always found that incredible fascinating that here's martin luther king, his own advisors are telling him, don't stand against the war in vietnam. keep your focus on domestic issues. and not only does king take that risk, but he mentions muhammad ali's name. he mentions the name of a boxer as a way to justify it. and i would encourage people today to really think about, imagine if a similar figure referenced lebron james to say why

martin luther king jr. both paula deen and mlk were born in georgia, which is why they asked the question in the first place. 73% of georgia republicans have a favorable opinion of paula deen. 11% are unfavorable. and only 59% have a favorable view of martin luther king. 28% unfavorable. to be fair, martin luther king jr.'s key lime pie recipe was not very good. but that's crazy, isn't it? especially because paula deen herself happens to be an admirer of martin luther king. in fact, she named her last cookbook "i have a dreamsicle." [ laughter ] but the paula deen controversy is a divisive issue. so we decided to use it to bewilder people out on hollywood boulevard today. so we went out on the street and asked the following question. where do you stand on georgia republicans who say they have a higher opinion of paula deen than dr. martin luther king during shark week, and does this negatively affect your opinion of powerball obama care?
