LBJ and Martin Luther King, Jr., 7/7/65 8.05P. 1 of 3.

[@BlackMamba92233]

People in the 50s-60s had the best greetings. “How do ya do sir “

[@Skip2105]

The sound of the recording device sounds like a heart beat and makes the whole conversation seem menacing in a way and extremely important

[@geoycs]

Well, it might seem like rambling, but in reality it was Johnson talking knowledgeably about all the many aspects of the problem. Quite impressive.

You may be right, but I don’t think MLK called him up to listen to an 11 minute and 44 second monologue. Let the man get a word in edgewise, for cryin’ out loud!

[@samkillersfan]

LBJ isn't rambling. He's just talking about very complicated political issues. He was near enough a political genius but because he's an old, white man with southern accent people aren't prepared to be patient and actually listen to what he's saying.

[@kwamezulushabazz]

Agree. LBJ was a master strategist. He was also a white supremacist.

[@JohnKimble-k8z]

I agree as well...imo greatest domestic policy president. If he didn't screw up Vietnam, he would be considered with Washington, Lincoln and FDR

[@justincharden]

LBJ reminds me of myself when I get old lol just taking over the damn phone conversation 😂

[@BlackMamba92233]

I love that sound in the video

Martin Luther King Jr. is probably thinking this whole time "what the heck is the President talking about?"

[@BretHart049]

I fast forwarded like 20 times and all I heard was LBJ talkin crap.

[@nazcarcup]

he just rambles on

[@simonb4664]

lbj doing politics - one of the all time greats

[@ChristianMcBrideTV]

This had to be edited. MLK doesn't get a word in! Lol!

[@ExVeritateLibertas]

ChristianMcBrideTV If this call is legit (i.e. not cut and spliced) then LBJ was drunk or had a few screws loose. Would he actually tell King all this shit? I really doubt it.

[@josephmackela8466]

I don’t know what he’s saying.!
