Speaker 1: Opinions expressed on this programmer those of the host and
0:03
Speaker 1: do not necessarily reflect those of kvore, Cumulus Media, or
0:07
Speaker 1: its advertisers. Richard Randall is on Colorado seven KVR.
0:14
Speaker 2: So it is MLK Day and we're gonna do different
0:18
Speaker 2: segments here on the show. We've talked about what's going
0:20
Speaker 2: on with ice up there in Minneapolis, et cetera. There
0:24
Speaker 2: is a connection, I suppose, because you had faith leaders
0:28
Speaker 2: down there at Council. Roland Rainey wanted to do a
0:31
Speaker 2: pretty simple thing and it's been done pretty much a
0:34
Speaker 2: year after a year, whether it's council, whether it's county commissioners,
0:37
Speaker 2: and he wasn't controversial, but made it controversial at this time. Well,
0:41
Speaker 2: he had faith leaders and decided, in my opinion, to
0:44
Speaker 2: appropriate the event.
0:45
Speaker 3: For their own purposes.
0:47
Speaker 2: I talked with Roland last week and read to come
0:50
Speaker 2: on today, and I said, you know, let's talk about
0:52
Speaker 2: doctor King's legacy and actually what you had put forth
0:56
Speaker 2: before city council, and then if you'd like to talk
1:00
Speaker 2: about the faith leaders and all that, we can't, but
1:03
Speaker 2: we don't have to do that.
1:04
Speaker 3: Roland.
1:04
Speaker 2: I appreciate you stepping out here down there at the
1:07
Speaker 2: big breakfast talk to us about you know, what you
1:10
Speaker 2: wanted to do and just how things went last Tuesday.
1:14
Speaker 4: Well, first of all, thank you very much for having
1:16
Speaker 4: me on this morning, on this MLK day. I greatly
1:20
Speaker 4: appreciate the opportunity to conversate with you and a highlight
1:24
Speaker 4: and honor the legacy of MLK. So I'll start there first,
1:29
Speaker 4: you know, for someone like me who was born and
1:31
Speaker 4: raised on a Bayou sugar can plantation in southern Louisiana
1:37
Speaker 4: and was able to make his way in this country
1:41
Speaker 4: through just the effort of people like MLK fighting hard
1:48
Speaker 4: for civil rights for blacks and to where we can
1:52
Speaker 4: become a nation where we're not judged by the color
1:55
Speaker 4: of our skin, but the content of our character. And
1:58
Speaker 4: I think that proved true today despite the fact that
2:01
Speaker 4: there are people that love to try to use race
2:04
Speaker 4: and race baiting. But when I look at my journey
2:08
Speaker 4: in the journey of many others, when someone judge you
2:11
Speaker 4: on your content and your character, how you treat people
2:15
Speaker 4: respecting dignity, I think those are things that are already
2:18
Speaker 4: essence of today. And honoring of doctor King's legacy and
2:23
Speaker 4: whether you're gonna protest in peace or whether you're gonna
2:27
Speaker 4: protest to continue to fight for civil rights, it needs
2:31
Speaker 4: to be done in a manner that actually truly honors
2:34
Speaker 4: his legacy. MLK was someone who definitely was about non
2:39
Speaker 4: violence while trying to achieve the common goal for the
2:44
Speaker 4: common man. And I think reflecting on that on the
2:48
Speaker 4: daylight today is what makes our nation so special, you
2:52
Speaker 4: know it is.
2:52
Speaker 2: And I keep thinking back to and I'm too young,
2:55
Speaker 2: of course, but I keep thinking back to, you know,
2:58
Speaker 2: a big wash Mark John Washington is huge. I mean,
3:02
Speaker 2: you have famous speeches, et cetera. Over the weekend, I've
3:05
Speaker 2: been asking people, you know about doctor King's legacy or
3:08
Speaker 2: their favorite quote, et cetera. And that judging quote quote
3:13
Speaker 2: or the lack of it, the way you should judge people.
3:15
Speaker 3: It just stands out to everybody.
3:17
Speaker 2: And I don't want to drag you into politics, Roland,
3:20
Speaker 2: but it seems to me there are a lot of
3:22
Speaker 2: people out there today that, well, we don't have as
3:25
Speaker 2: much prejudice as we used to against people of color.
3:29
Speaker 2: This way, that way, this way, that way. The pendulum
3:31
Speaker 2: maybe went the other way. And I'm not certain that
3:34
Speaker 2: doctor King was saying, well, well, it's only that you
3:37
Speaker 2: could have things against people are black.
3:39
Speaker 3: Other people don't count.
3:41
Speaker 2: I don't know you know him better than I do,
3:42
Speaker 2: and I want to be careful because I don't like
3:44
Speaker 2: these people saying they know what he would say about ICE.
3:47
Speaker 3: I don't presume to do that.
3:48
Speaker 2: But do you have any indicators there in terms of
3:51
Speaker 2: either the non violent resistance or how he would go about.
3:55
Speaker 4: Doing things well, I think one of the things, when
3:58
Speaker 4: you look at the totality and the bent of his
4:01
Speaker 4: entire life, any protest that has a non violent approach,
4:07
Speaker 4: I think he would be in favor of, especially if
4:10
Speaker 4: you're fighting for the dignity of your fellow man. What
4:14
Speaker 4: I've seen today and in our current societal issues and
4:19
Speaker 4: ills that we have in the country is the fact
4:21
Speaker 4: that people are resulting to violent actions but then misinterpreting
4:28
Speaker 4: mlk's language to fit their own narrative. And that's not
4:33
Speaker 4: what he was about. And so you know to the
4:36
Speaker 4: comment earlier about what transpired at City council. Of course
4:41
Speaker 4: I was the sponsor and led that proclamation. It was
4:45
Speaker 4: disheartening and it was disappointing to have a bunch of
4:49
Speaker 4: folks from a certain community come in and misinterpret his
4:53
Speaker 4: words to fit their own narrative, and that's something that
4:58
Speaker 4: we need to make sure that we don't fall pray to,
5:01
Speaker 4: especially when we're honoring the legacy of someone like MLK
5:05
Speaker 4: who transformed this nation. I mentioned on the dayas that
5:12
Speaker 4: he's stirred the conscience of this entire nation to where
5:16
Speaker 4: people can now look at each other and really judge
5:20
Speaker 4: each other based on how you treat others, respect, dignity,
5:25
Speaker 4: how you engage with others while still fighting to achieve
5:31
Speaker 4: that perfect union. That doesn't mean that you go out
5:34
Speaker 4: and commit violent acts. So I think we have to
5:37
Speaker 4: come together as a nation to realize that nonviolent does
5:42
Speaker 4: not mean that you get the misinterpreted Mlk's language to meet.
5:47
Speaker 2: A violent in You know, I've been fascinated by the
5:52
Speaker 2: man and the truth is, and I think my listeners
5:54
Speaker 2: know this.
5:55
Speaker 3: Roland.
5:55
Speaker 2: I've been very focused on his death and the assassination
6:00
Speaker 2: details on that. I told this story before. When I
6:03
Speaker 2: was in law school, I had one of my professors said, Richard,
6:06
Speaker 2: some of us go down to Memphis. We're going to
6:08
Speaker 2: be working on the MLK assassination. It'd be great if
6:12
Speaker 2: you could join us. At about six people and I
6:15
Speaker 2: was an honored to be asked, and I said, well,
6:17
Speaker 2: what are.
6:17
Speaker 3: We going to be doing?
6:18
Speaker 2: And he said, well, we're going to be proving that
6:20
Speaker 2: James Earl Ray did not kill doctor King. And I'm like,
6:24
Speaker 2: I can't go I mean, he did kill doctor King,
6:27
Speaker 2: and I'm not going to go down there and do
6:29
Speaker 2: anything as any part of trying to get somebody off
6:32
Speaker 2: the hook. There. Looking back on it after all of
6:34
Speaker 2: these years and doing a ton of research and reading
6:37
Speaker 2: books and looking at how the family traded James Earl Ray,
6:41
Speaker 2: it's not the narrative that you have out there in
6:44
Speaker 2: the mainstream media. So if you're willing to comment on this,
6:47
Speaker 2: I'd appreciate it. If not, we can move on. But
6:50
Speaker 2: I think the fact that he was assassinated and that
6:53
Speaker 2: there was a conspiracy, there wasn't, in fact a jury.
6:56
Speaker 3: Trial down there the King family.
6:59
Speaker 2: You had a judge, a jury, it came to the
7:01
Speaker 2: conclusion of James Earl right didn't do it, and that
7:03
Speaker 2: there was some form of a conspiracy to do that.
7:07
Speaker 2: Is that still pertinent?
7:08
Speaker 3: Roland?
7:08
Speaker 2: Because I hear a lot of people whenever it comes
7:10
Speaker 2: to talking about some of these things, Richard, that was
7:13
Speaker 2: so long ago it doesn't really matter.
7:14
Speaker 3: Well, I think it does.
7:16
Speaker 4: Your thoughts well, I will definitely say that. I think
7:19
Speaker 4: through history over the last you know, thirty to forty years,
7:24
Speaker 4: everyone has thought that because of the way MLK was assassinated,
7:30
Speaker 4: that someone like James Roray didn't have the smart so
7:37
Speaker 4: or the backing or the resources to commit such an act,
7:40
Speaker 4: and because doctor King had such a tumultualist relationship with
7:45
Speaker 4: the government that the government had to be involved. I
7:49
Speaker 4: think that still resonates with a lot of communities in
7:53
Speaker 4: our country. And I do believe that, you know, much
7:58
Speaker 4: like JFK, those type of theories, those type of you know,
8:04
Speaker 4: thoughts within small communities or maybe even larger communities, will
8:08
Speaker 4: continue to resonate if there is no proof coming out
8:14
Speaker 4: through some type of legal system. So I do believe
8:17
Speaker 4: it's going to be very hard to get rid of
8:20
Speaker 4: those thought processes UH and those particular theories, whether you
8:25
Speaker 4: consider it a conspiracy or not, I think it's gonna
8:28
Speaker 4: live forever because of the relationship that doctor King had
8:35
Speaker 4: with certain government entities, specifically UH, the FBI. I think
8:39
Speaker 4: it's no hitting fact that he definitely had a very
8:43
Speaker 4: strained relationship with FBI Director Hoover at the time. And
8:50
Speaker 4: I think what you will learn from historical facts is
8:55
Speaker 4: that you know, there are things that they're transpired during
8:58
Speaker 4: that timeframe that does put a smear and an ugly
9:03
Speaker 4: blotch on this nation. But I do believe also there
9:07
Speaker 4: are folks that are willing to learn from this and
9:12
Speaker 4: make sure that we don't have instances to where we
9:17
Speaker 4: commit levels of violence like that ever. Again. I mean, look,
9:22
Speaker 4: we just had an assassination attempt on President Trump, and
9:28
Speaker 4: you know, we should never, ever in this nation have
9:31
Speaker 4: to resort to violence of that magnitude just to fight
9:36
Speaker 4: for any type of civil rights.
9:38
Speaker 2: You know, one of the things I do mention And
9:40
Speaker 2: I'm gonna move on from this because actually we hadn't
9:42
Speaker 2: even talked about talking about this. But as a final
9:45
Speaker 2: note with regard to that, at one point, it was
9:48
Speaker 2: all of the King family members who believed that James
9:52
Speaker 2: Earl Ray didn't do it.
9:53
Speaker 3: And you're right on the money.
9:54
Speaker 2: I mean, you know, Jaeger Hooper hated MLK, did everything
9:58
Speaker 2: he could to try to ruin the guy's refue et cetera.
10:01
Speaker 3: But talk to us.
10:02
Speaker 2: You've got a family member, a very special one that
10:05
Speaker 2: is here in Colorra Springs over the weekend and into today.
10:08
Speaker 2: Tell us a little bit about that person, because if
10:11
Speaker 2: my memory is right, you played a part in bringing
10:13
Speaker 2: that person here.
10:14
Speaker 4: Yes, what an honor for our city. And I can't
10:17
Speaker 4: emphasize that enough. Our city. We are currently hosting the
10:22
Speaker 4: only Grandchile to doctor Reverend Martin Luther King, Yolanda and
10:26
Speaker 4: a King. So yesterday she had a fireside chat. What
10:30
Speaker 4: a great audience that was there to listen to her.
10:34
Speaker 4: And I tell you she definitely mentality speech wise, her
10:40
Speaker 4: vision of the future for the youth. She is definitely
10:44
Speaker 4: on the right pace with her grandfather. And today this
10:49
Speaker 4: morning was the All People's MLK Breakfast where she is
10:53
Speaker 4: the guest speaker. And I tell you just to know
10:58
Speaker 4: that our city, our great city of Colorado Springs, the
11:01
Speaker 4: city that I love representing as a city councilman. The
11:05
Speaker 4: fact that we are hosting someone of that magnitude, it's
11:08
Speaker 4: just something so special, and I think it makes honoring
11:13
Speaker 4: doctor King's legacy on this day even more special.
11:16
Speaker 3: You've got it. I'm going to let you get back
11:18
Speaker 3: to the breakfast.
11:19
Speaker 2: I appreciate you taking time to step out to join
11:21
Speaker 2: us any final thoughts before I let you go rolland rating.
11:25
Speaker 4: No, I would just say on today's day, no matter
11:28
Speaker 4: how what your thoughts are of doctor King, hopefully what
11:33
Speaker 4: you can take away is that this is a man
11:36
Speaker 4: that stepped out amongst others to lead a civil rights effort.
11:42
Speaker 4: But also in his famous I Have a dream speech,
11:46
Speaker 4: it has become the foundation of our nation and we
11:50
Speaker 4: have to stick to it, and we have to find
11:51
Speaker 4: our way back to it because I think there are
11:53
Speaker 4: too many race baters out there, but we have to
11:56
Speaker 4: find our way back to not judging people on a
12:00
Speaker 4: lodered air skin, but the content of their character.
12:02
Speaker 3: You've got to thank you, God, bless you so much.
12:05
Speaker 3: Thank you.
12:05
Speaker 2: That's Roland Rainy, a former military retired veteran I should
12:08
Speaker 2: say city council. Of course, he's a person who put
12:11
Speaker 2: forth that proclamation and.
12:17
Speaker 3: For foe time here Matt Krueger here on seven.
12:20
Speaker 2: Forty KVR is a great guy and he's got a
12:23
Speaker 2: great company.
12:24
Speaker 3: It is, of course Kruger Brothers Construction.
12:27
Speaker 2: He talks about how they were the people's choice home
12:31
Speaker 2: remodeler of the Year for twenty twenty five.
12:33
Speaker 3: That's not Richard Randallson.
12:35
Speaker 2: That is people who love what has happened, what they
12:38
Speaker 2: have done, and all of the rest. They take care
12:40
Speaker 2: of commercial and residential property of course, roof inspections, flat roofing,
12:46
Speaker 2: hail damage, all of that sort of thing. When it
12:49
Speaker 2: comes to residential, I mentioned it because it's really important,
12:52
Speaker 2: and that is eighteen hours per day the average person
12:55
Speaker 2: spends in their home. That's a lot of time and
12:58
Speaker 2: many times I was never design for that.
13:01
Speaker 3: I lived in a very small house when I was
13:04
Speaker 3: coming up. It was one bathroom and two bedrooms, and
13:07
Speaker 3: we shoe horned a lot of people into it because
13:09
Speaker 3: we had to. But you don't have to. And if
13:12
Speaker 3: you're going to expand a little bit or you want
13:14
Speaker 3: to change things a little.
13:15
Speaker 2: Bit, the only place to go is Kruger Brothers Construction.
13:19
Speaker 2: You go to Kruger Brothers dot com and they do windows, rooping, siding.
13:24
Speaker 2: More importantly, they'll come out and meet with you at
13:26
Speaker 2: the home where you can come down to their showroom.
13:28
Speaker 2: I encourage you to do that, sit down and start planning,
13:31
Speaker 2: and remember they got all kinds of payment plans and
13:34
Speaker 2: they can take care of you.
13:35
Speaker 3: Seve one nine, three, five eight seven zero five three.
13:40
Speaker 2: All right, a very hard pivot to the fact that
13:45
Speaker 2: Jed your Hooper hated MLK from the get go. In fact,
13:51
Speaker 2: I didn't really even understand until And you've heard this
13:53
Speaker 2: guy on the program before. Unfortunately he doesn't do interviews
13:58
Speaker 2: very much anymore. We talked about JFK and the Unspeakable.
14:02
Speaker 2: His name is James W. Douglas, pretty elderly man, and
14:06
Speaker 2: he's taken a lifetime of research, put it into two books.
14:09
Speaker 2: One was about JFK and this book Martyrs to the
14:12
Speaker 2: Unspeakable Assassinations of JFK, Malcolm Martin and RFK. So what, Well,
14:22
Speaker 2: you can use this as a textbook in high school
14:25
Speaker 2: or college for that matter, probably either. But I will
14:29
Speaker 2: tell you that there are so many important things that
14:32
Speaker 2: are in here that are facts. It's not allegations, it's facts.
14:37
Speaker 2: And when I tell you that there's no doubt that
14:40
Speaker 2: James Earl Ray was not this sniper who did this,
14:44
Speaker 2: there are just so many things that don't make sense.
14:46
Speaker 2: Remember when I tell you that if you look at
14:48
Speaker 2: something and it doesn't make sense, you need to be
14:51
Speaker 2: asking the next question, which is, all right, so what
14:54
Speaker 2: are the facts that would make this make sense? Well,
14:57
Speaker 2: let me go through a couple of things here. First
14:59
Speaker 2: of all, as Roland was referring to and James R.
15:03
Speaker 2: Ol'ray ran because he was set up and he's trying
15:10
Speaker 2: to do the same thing that Leharvey Oswold was doing.
15:13
Speaker 2: It always works better though, if you can somehow get
15:16
Speaker 2: the Patsy to be dead.
15:18
Speaker 3: They couldn't do that with King.
15:20
Speaker 2: He goes across the border into Canada, he goes from
15:23
Speaker 2: Canada to the UK. He goes around the UK a
15:27
Speaker 2: little bit. And this is a guy who a was poor,
15:31
Speaker 2: and he wasn't a rocket scientist, but somehow he's able
15:34
Speaker 2: to figure out how to.
15:35
Speaker 3: Do all of that.
15:36
Speaker 2: I think Roland had a good point there, but that's
15:38
Speaker 2: not the key point. There are a lot of other
15:40
Speaker 2: factors that.
15:41
Speaker 3: Go into this. And one of the things, let me
15:44
Speaker 3: just give you a couple of things.
15:45
Speaker 2: As we're getting ready for news here, you've seen the
15:47
Speaker 2: famous photograph of.
15:50
Speaker 3: Immediately after King is Sean.
15:52
Speaker 2: He's got a number of people who he's laying on
15:55
Speaker 2: the ground, big puddle of blood. You've got people who
15:57
Speaker 2: are pointing, and then you've got people are trying to
15:59
Speaker 2: take care of doctor King.
16:01
Speaker 3: You knew that the guy.
16:03
Speaker 2: Who was right there with King was an FBI infiltrator
16:08
Speaker 2: to the whole thing, Right, you knew that?
16:10
Speaker 3: Oh you didn't know that? Huh, that's interesting, Well now
16:14
Speaker 3: you do.
16:15
Speaker 2: If you were to look out, they say there's this
16:17
Speaker 2: rooming house over there that James ear already fired from.
16:20
Speaker 2: We'll get into how impossible that was for a second here,
16:24
Speaker 2: but there was below and right across the street from
16:27
Speaker 2: this hotel. They are staying in the Lorraine Hotel, a
16:30
Speaker 2: whole bunch of shrubbery and bushes and trees and stuff.
16:35
Speaker 3: And some people.
16:36
Speaker 2: Think that that's where the real assassin was. Puff A
16:39
Speaker 2: smoked there again, footprints there again. Now, how interesting is
16:43
Speaker 2: it that he is shot? People allegedly came from there,
16:47
Speaker 2: and by the next day you'd had a street crew
16:49
Speaker 2: out and they cut down all.
16:50
Speaker 3: Of those trees and bushes.
16:52
Speaker 2: What yeah, I mean, you watched enough TV to know
16:55
Speaker 2: that's a crime scene, right, and they just tampered with
16:57
Speaker 2: a crime scene.
16:58
Speaker 3: That'd be like going out and paying over where Charlie
17:01
Speaker 3: Kirk wash that didn't happen to it.
17:04
Speaker 2: There are a lot of things that just don't make sense,
17:07
Speaker 2: and at a certain point for me at least, there
17:09
Speaker 2: were so many things that didn't make sense.
17:12
Speaker 3: I realized that.
17:13
Speaker 2: Making this whole thing up out a whole cloth, and
17:17
Speaker 2: why would they do that? Because there were people who
17:19
Speaker 2: wanted King dead. People had the opportunity to make that happen,
17:24
Speaker 2: and people had the opportunity to cover it up. How
17:28
Speaker 2: long has that been going on?
17:30
Speaker 3: Well more than fifty years. But I didn't hear about this. Well,
17:35
Speaker 3: of course you didn't hear about this. The mainstream media
17:38
Speaker 3: is gonna tell you that. You think, they're gonna hold
17:40
Speaker 3: up a newspaper.
17:41
Speaker 2: And the headline is gonna say, judge and jury find
17:45
Speaker 2: James Earlray did not kill doctor MLK. In fact, there
17:50
Speaker 2: was a government conspiracy. A judge, twelve jurors, in a
17:53
Speaker 2: couple of weeks of trial, the King family says, he
17:56
Speaker 2: doesn't do it, didn't do that.
17:57
Speaker 3: Did you see that headline? No, you did see that headline. Huh.
18:03
Speaker 2: Well, if you didn't see the headline, what's that tell you?
18:06
Speaker 2: It tells you that not a single network, No, Oh,
18:09
Speaker 2: CBS and all their great people, Dan or other, ABC
18:12
Speaker 2: and all the rest of these people, they did not
18:14
Speaker 2: even go down to cover that trial, much less report
18:20
Speaker 2: on it. As time goes by, much less on any
18:23
Speaker 2: of the anniversaries. This comes to my mind frequently, especially
18:26
Speaker 2: on the anniversaries or on MLK Day, but it's on
18:30
Speaker 2: the back of my mind because it is still relevant.
18:34
Speaker 2: They did it and they got away with it, whether
18:37
Speaker 2: it was him or RFK or JFK. And guess what,
18:40
Speaker 2: it doesn't matter whether you loved or hated those people.
18:43
Speaker 2: The fact that it happened and they got away with
18:46
Speaker 2: it ought to be pretty damn frightening to you. And
18:49
Speaker 2: the fact that if there was no there there, why
18:52
Speaker 2: did the government keep all of these files secret for
18:54
Speaker 2: as long as they did?
18:56
Speaker 3: Who were they protecting? I'll tell you about that. When
18:58
Speaker 3: we come back from me someone nine one five there
19:00
Speaker 3: are seven four zeros.
19:03
Speaker 1: Things change quickly.
19:04
Speaker 2: The US military captured the country's president, Nicholas Maduro.
19:08
Speaker 1: These are historic times. Stay up to speed with seven
19:11
Speaker 1: forty kvo R and kvor dot Com.
19:17
Speaker 2: Marshlinker Your Homesold Guaranteed Realty. There's so many aspects to her.
19:22
Speaker 2: I think one of the best ones is obviously she
19:24
Speaker 2: guarantees the sale, but that she sells a home on
19:27
Speaker 2: average about once every thirty six hours. Other agents well
19:32
Speaker 2: it depends. I mean a lot of people go into
19:35
Speaker 2: real estate. They think it doesn't hat very long to
19:37
Speaker 2: get a real estate license, and then they get out
19:39
Speaker 2: there and usually within two, three five years they've moved
19:42
Speaker 2: on because it's a hard business and it's a hard
19:45
Speaker 2: business to get up to speed and to know everything
19:47
Speaker 2: that's going on the way Barb does. But she learned
19:50
Speaker 2: that fifteen years ago. Now she's in a position where
19:54
Speaker 2: she learned how to negotiate, she learned how to market,
19:59
Speaker 2: she learned how to do these things that they don't
20:01
Speaker 2: teach you in real estate school.
20:02
Speaker 3: And that's part of.
20:03
Speaker 2: The reason she is good doing what she does. Experience
20:08
Speaker 2: really really counts. She also wants me to make sure
20:11
Speaker 2: that you know that she herself is a vestman. She's
20:13
Speaker 2: got active duty for a son, but she looks out
20:16
Speaker 2: for the community, including helping veterans personal for her and
20:19
Speaker 2: her family. She helps with organizations like Wounded Warriors, Fisher House,
20:24
Speaker 2: Luke's Wings, and a lot more. Give her call seven one,
20:27
Speaker 2: nine three oh one to thirty nine hundred or Barb
20:29
Speaker 2: has the buyers dot Com.
20:31
Speaker 3: So let me run through these real quickly.
20:34
Speaker 2: You know, if you want to get into exactly what
20:36
Speaker 2: happened in Memphis. I think a good starting point would
20:39
Speaker 2: be to look at the trial judge a jury, simple Trump,
20:46
Speaker 2: but they come to the conclusion that it was not
20:48
Speaker 2: James Earlray and there was a government conspiracy different levels.
20:52
Speaker 2: Do you have a state government, you have local government Memphis,
20:56
Speaker 2: you have federal agencies.
20:57
Speaker 3: I don't have time to get into all of that now,
20:59
Speaker 3: but somebody waiting. I like this one. It says.
21:06
Speaker 2: The way he died does matter. Let's call them what
21:08
Speaker 2: they are, activists with pulpits leave the word faith out.
21:13
Speaker 3: You know, I just think it is so wrong.
21:16
Speaker 2: Could you imagine, for instance, if I'm doing a show
21:20
Speaker 2: and I'm not very popular, and no, he'sn't paying any
21:22
Speaker 2: attention to me. I mean, I might have a congregation
21:25
Speaker 2: over here, or maybe even not me, but you know,
21:27
Speaker 2: I'm gonna present myself blah blah blah. But instead of
21:31
Speaker 2: just being Richard Randle having a press conference or a
21:34
Speaker 2: radio show, just doing it on my own and appeal
21:37
Speaker 2: to you based on common sense and logic, No, I
21:41
Speaker 2: need to start evoking Russia's name. Well, Rush would have
21:44
Speaker 2: done this and this and this and this. There's so
21:46
Speaker 2: much audiotape of Rush. You could probably go back and
21:48
Speaker 2: find out exactly, but it's just a cheap thing to
21:52
Speaker 2: do for somebody to try to appropriate that. Here's what
21:56
Speaker 2: I would like you to take away from this show,
21:58
Speaker 2: all right.
21:59
Speaker 3: So they say there was one gun shot and the
22:02
Speaker 3: wound hit him and he died apparently in the hospital.
22:06
Speaker 3: Some people said that he was.
22:07
Speaker 2: Dead there, but I've seen photographs of him. He was
22:11
Speaker 2: killed in the hospital, right. There was a tube up
22:13
Speaker 2: his nose, and he was awake, and it looked like
22:15
Speaker 2: he was okay when he is in the hospital. Well,
22:18
Speaker 2: he he was okay for a guy that got stabbed.
22:21
Speaker 3: Wait, I thought you said he got shot.
22:23
Speaker 2: Oh, we're talking about two different incidents, right, The one
22:26
Speaker 2: where he got stabbed completely different, And that's what the
22:29
Speaker 2: photograph is from.
22:31
Speaker 3: He got shot over here. But I saw somebody. Yeah,
22:33
Speaker 3: that's exactly what you see people co mingle the two.
22:36
Speaker 3: Do I believe that.
22:37
Speaker 2: He was alive when he got to the hospital and
22:40
Speaker 2: somebody in the hospital said, you know what, we need
22:42
Speaker 2: to either not give him care.
22:44
Speaker 3: Or snuff him or whatever the deal is.
22:46
Speaker 2: I don't believe that's true. I think it's irresponsible for
22:49
Speaker 2: people to put that out there. If they've got, you know,
22:52
Speaker 2: some knowledge that that's true, then all right. So far
22:55
Speaker 2: as I know, and I spent a lot of time
22:57
Speaker 2: on this, I don't so how about these facts? For
23:01
Speaker 2: the bullet taken from doctor King's body did not come
23:04
Speaker 2: from the rifle of James Earl Ray. Now, they weren't
23:08
Speaker 2: able to locate it and match it to a particular thing,
23:11
Speaker 2: but they were able to say, we can exclude that rifle.
23:14
Speaker 3: But what rifle?
23:16
Speaker 2: Well, his handlers told him to go out and buy
23:19
Speaker 2: a certain rifle for this event, and he touched it
23:23
Speaker 2: in hand, handed.
23:24
Speaker 3: It and stuff.
23:24
Speaker 2: But how did they give Did you just leave it
23:26
Speaker 2: up there, you know, at the crime scene when he's
23:28
Speaker 2: in the bathroom and he's shooting across to the Lorraine Motel.
23:32
Speaker 3: No, James L.
23:33
Speaker 2: Ray was so smart that after he shot King and
23:37
Speaker 2: he wanted to flee, he threw all of his stuff
23:40
Speaker 2: into a bundle and they went down the stairs and
23:42
Speaker 2: he went to this little you know, walkway in between
23:45
Speaker 2: buildings and he just left it there for what, Oh,
23:49
Speaker 2: so somebody could find it. Somebody could find it, Yeah,
23:52
Speaker 2: because that would incriminate him with the fingerprints and all
23:56
Speaker 2: that kind of thing.
23:57
Speaker 3: But the bullet didn't even match that guy.
24:01
Speaker 2: And all right, Ballistic testing on the bullets that Ray
24:07
Speaker 2: was using or purported to use did not match the crime.
24:10
Speaker 2: Ballistics tests on raised rifle were never able to match
24:14
Speaker 2: it to the crime. Ballistic tests confirmed that that any
24:18
Speaker 2: bullet fired from Ray's rifle would have had a very
24:21
Speaker 2: specific type of gauging on it due to a malfunctioning defect,
24:26
Speaker 2: manufacturing defect, I should say, in the rifle we always
24:29
Speaker 2: talk about the lands and the groups on ballistics. You're
24:33
Speaker 2: listening to a lot of evidence that just would not
24:36
Speaker 2: prove he did this. Well, then, how the hell did
24:38
Speaker 2: they convince and convict him in the first place?
24:41
Speaker 3: Oh, they didn't. You didn't know that.
24:43
Speaker 2: There was never a trial and brought in all this
24:45
Speaker 2: evidence and a defense attorney brought in this evidence to
24:48
Speaker 2: show that it didn't add up and that guy over
24:51
Speaker 2: there didn't do it.
24:53
Speaker 3: There was no such trial. What well, James R.
24:56
Speaker 2: Old Ray's attorney, who said he was looking out for him,
25:00
Speaker 2: got James Earl Ray to admit to killing the crime,
25:04
Speaker 2: I mean to killing doctor King. And he did that
25:07
Speaker 2: because you know what, we need to do that to
25:09
Speaker 2: keep you from getting executed and if we do this,
25:13
Speaker 2: then later on we can come back and remedy everything.
25:16
Speaker 3: But there was no later on.
25:18
Speaker 2: Within a day or two, James Earl Ray denied having
25:21
Speaker 2: any I shouldn't say denied haveing any part. He does
25:25
Speaker 2: admit that he was told by somebody to go out
25:27
Speaker 2: and to purchase this rifle. There's a lot of things
25:29
Speaker 2: into that. But in terms of did he kill MLK, No,
25:34
Speaker 2: And he said that within a couple of days, and
25:35
Speaker 2: he said that forever. The only reason he said it
25:37
Speaker 2: in the first place was he thought he was going
25:39
Speaker 2: to get executed if they had to go through a
25:41
Speaker 2: trial and then convict him. He was asking for a
25:44
Speaker 2: new trial over and over and over and over again,
25:47
Speaker 2: and the court system.
25:47
Speaker 3: Said no, no, no, no, all right.
25:52
Speaker 2: It was never proven that the rifles shot came from
25:54
Speaker 2: the bathroom window of the Rubing House, as alleged by
25:57
Speaker 2: the government. So picture this you're standing. You know how
26:01
Speaker 2: motels will have the corridors, sometimes on the inside of
26:05
Speaker 2: the building, sometimes.
26:06
Speaker 3: On the out right.
26:08
Speaker 2: This is a all black hotel motel a couple of stories,
26:11
Speaker 2: and the entrances are all on what would be a
26:15
Speaker 2: balcony in the front of the building, you go through
26:19
Speaker 2: that door. We've stayed at places that a ton of times. Right, Well,
26:23
Speaker 2: did you know that a couple of things were interesting
26:26
Speaker 2: whenever it stayed there before? He had some local people,
26:30
Speaker 2: black folks, who made sure that when they made the reservations,
26:34
Speaker 2: he was inside of the building. In other words, the
26:38
Speaker 2: door would open to the inside of a kind of
26:40
Speaker 2: contained courtyard and not out open to all of this
26:44
Speaker 2: space out here, or on the second floor for that matter.
26:48
Speaker 2: So what so you had somebody it looks like they
26:51
Speaker 2: were working in conjunction with a federal agency, perhaps for
26:55
Speaker 2: a federal agency. Did I say that that person was
26:59
Speaker 2: FBI or.
27:00
Speaker 3: Thing like that.
27:00
Speaker 2: I did not, And that's something that people want to
27:03
Speaker 2: make that you know, distinction when it comes to J six. Well,
27:06
Speaker 2: you know, the FBI said they didn't have anybody there.
27:09
Speaker 2: I believe Christopher Ray and James Comy one hundred percent,
27:12
Speaker 2: along with Merrick Garland.
27:13
Speaker 4: Right.
27:14
Speaker 3: Truth of the matter.
27:15
Speaker 2: Is that many times you've got somebody there, you can
27:19
Speaker 2: technically say it's not your person because they were a
27:21
Speaker 2: contractor you hired to do this thing. But the fact
27:25
Speaker 2: of the matter is it was odd that he was
27:26
Speaker 2: even staying on the outside.
27:29
Speaker 3: It's odd that you've got somebody.
27:30
Speaker 2: As a government at least contractor right there with him
27:34
Speaker 2: when this goes on.
27:36
Speaker 3: But I didn't see that in the PA.
27:37
Speaker 2: You're getting the point here, right, No, you didn't see
27:40
Speaker 2: that in the paper.
27:40
Speaker 3: No, you didn't know that until now? How about that?
27:44
Speaker 3: How about that as a shame.
27:47
Speaker 2: When you have one of the main black reporters anchors
27:50
Speaker 2: at ABC who is so ill informed that she's gonna
27:54
Speaker 2: say what a great guy LBJ was when it came
27:57
Speaker 2: to him looking out for people who are of color
28:01
Speaker 2: or black, when the guy hated them and.
28:04
Speaker 3: Mom, here and here and here and here and here,
28:06
Speaker 3: it's easy.
28:08
Speaker 2: Well, yeah, he put forth this idea that you know
28:11
Speaker 2: it was him. Yeah, well he put forth the idea
28:14
Speaker 2: that we had to be.
28:15
Speaker 3: In Vietnam too.
28:16
Speaker 2: Right, But you've got somebody who's a journalist like that.
28:22
Speaker 2: What Why didn't anybody ever talk about this stuff?
28:25
Speaker 3: Maybe? I don't know.
28:26
Speaker 2: Maybe you get in trouble if you talk about stuff
28:28
Speaker 2: like this, Right, you won't get in trouble. If you're
28:30
Speaker 2: gonna have something done to your home, whether it is
28:33
Speaker 2: a remodeling, whether you want to have an expansion, maybe
28:35
Speaker 2: you want to put something out back on the back
28:37
Speaker 2: of the property, for in laws, for parents, et cetera.
28:41
Speaker 2: There's one number for you to call seven one nine
28:43
Speaker 2: three five eight seven zero five three again seven nine
28:47
Speaker 2: three five eight seven zero five three, and that is
28:51
Speaker 2: Coruger Brothers Construction People's choice Home Remodelers of the Year
28:55
Speaker 2: last year twenty twenty five. I've got every reason to
28:58
Speaker 2: believe that'll be this year again. I've been doing it
29:00
Speaker 2: since two thousand and nine, and you learn a lot
29:04
Speaker 2: when you do it over and over and over again.
29:07
Speaker 2: One of the things you learn is you've had a
29:08
Speaker 2: lot of customers, a lot of people that you've worked
29:11
Speaker 2: with over that period of time, and you learn how
29:13
Speaker 2: to do that. You go out to the home, you
29:15
Speaker 2: sit down iPad computer and walk through, Well, I'd like
29:18
Speaker 2: to do this and this and this. Okay, let's you
29:22
Speaker 2: know you're dreaming big here. Let's talk about Oh, well,
29:25
Speaker 2: I guess maybe this would be better, or that would
29:27
Speaker 2: be better, or do it at their shop or i
29:29
Speaker 2: should say their showroom again. Seven one nine three five
29:32
Speaker 2: eight seven zero five three. Talk to Kreuwer Brothers Construction.
29:37
Speaker 2: They'll help you out. Let's take a short break. We'll
29:38
Speaker 2: move back after that. If you go back to who
29:42
Speaker 2: has a motive for this? Or this or this quebono?
29:45
Speaker 2: Who has a motive? And then you start looking from
29:48
Speaker 2: there and you start looking at, well, this is a
29:49
Speaker 2: group of suspects here. Where you go from that, well
29:52
Speaker 2: you start viewing the entire thing in a different light,
29:56
Speaker 2: I believe. Let me give you a couple more EF
29:57
Speaker 2: facts on this James Earl ray thing. All right, so
30:00
Speaker 2: we got a gun that he did purchase, He's got
30:02
Speaker 2: his fingerprints on it, and it is dropped near the scene.
30:07
Speaker 3: If you're look, you just assassinated somebody.
30:10
Speaker 2: And this is after you know, you know, the JFK
30:13
Speaker 2: assassination Lee Harvey Oswald.
30:16
Speaker 3: You're just going to drop your gun there for people
30:18
Speaker 3: to find it. I don't know.
30:19
Speaker 2: That doesn't seem very logical. Would somebody maybe drop it
30:23
Speaker 2: there so it would.
30:24
Speaker 3: Intentionally be found? Okay? Now you're thinking like I am right.
30:28
Speaker 2: Uh, never proved that the rifle shot came from that
30:31
Speaker 2: bathroom window of the rooming house. Remember I was telling
30:34
Speaker 2: you about the bushes that were there right across and
30:37
Speaker 2: much much closer and lo and behold, if street crews
30:40
Speaker 2: didn't come on and cut all that stuff down the
30:43
Speaker 2: night after the assassination, Richard, come on, you see a
30:48
Speaker 2: conspiracy everywhere. You don't believe that they know there's going
30:51
Speaker 2: to be a lot of national attention on this, and
30:53
Speaker 2: they don't want Memphis to be looking like they just
30:55
Speaker 2: allow shrubbery and trees to grow all over the place,
30:58
Speaker 2: do you well, of course not.
31:00
Speaker 3: It makes all the sense in the world that they
31:02
Speaker 3: cut those things down. Right.
31:05
Speaker 2: Then you get to the no eyewitness to the shooting.
31:09
Speaker 2: But wasn't there one?
31:10
Speaker 3: There was one person.
31:12
Speaker 2: He was apparently an alcoholic, and he was staying in
31:15
Speaker 2: this flop house that they're setting the shot came from,
31:17
Speaker 2: but it didn't, and he is drunk, as put in
31:21
Speaker 2: a descriptive term there, and he's the one. Well, I
31:25
Speaker 2: think I saw James lit regular in the bathroom, because
31:27
Speaker 2: this is one of those flop houses where you get
31:29
Speaker 2: your room, but you have a common bathroom down at
31:31
Speaker 2: the end of the hall, and that's the bathroom proportedly
31:34
Speaker 2: where the shot took place. But real life snipers like
31:37
Speaker 2: Craig Roberts and others, you would have to stand on
31:40
Speaker 2: the edge of the bathtub. It's one of those old bathtubs.
31:44
Speaker 2: Bathtub where it's got the curl on the thing.
31:46
Speaker 3: You have to stand on there and be up against
31:48
Speaker 3: the wall and try to position.
31:50
Speaker 2: You don't have to be a contortionist to do this
31:52
Speaker 2: kind of thing even to get a shot off, much
31:54
Speaker 2: less to have a good shot. Right, But it is
31:58
Speaker 2: most telling that after all of this time, and this
32:01
Speaker 2: is the key takeaway today, whether it is MLK, whether
32:06
Speaker 2: it has to do with any of these files, that oh,
32:09
Speaker 2: now we're going to finally find out about UFOs and
32:12
Speaker 2: what happened to Emilia EARHARTZFK, RFK, MLK and all of
32:16
Speaker 2: the rest finally, So ask yourself, why in the world
32:20
Speaker 2: didn't we know that a long time ago? Seriously, for
32:23
Speaker 2: a while you could argue we had an agent there
32:25
Speaker 2: and jeopardize that person's life. They're all dead by now,
32:28
Speaker 2: So then what would be the reason, Well, we would
32:33
Speaker 2: not want people to know who was involved in any
32:35
Speaker 2: of this, Like what who was involved in any of this? Well,
32:40
Speaker 2: like an agency or a foreign country or a foreign
32:42
Speaker 2: intelligence branch or something like that, right, right, right. If
32:49
Speaker 2: I do my job on the day like today, I
32:51
Speaker 2: pique your interest, I get you curious about this and
32:54
Speaker 2: then I post something on social media that's a good
32:57
Speaker 2: starting point for you, and sometime down the road, either
33:01
Speaker 2: you or one of your friends, you know, somebody in
33:04
Speaker 2: your family, somebody you work with, a child, a grandchild.
33:07
Speaker 2: They're not teaching this stuff in school. You take the
33:10
Speaker 2: time out and if there are anything like I am,
33:13
Speaker 2: they're going to be fascinated because many of the things
33:16
Speaker 2: I talk to you about now. Thank God for the
33:18
Speaker 2: librarian in my high school. There were three, four or
33:22
Speaker 2: five six different books that I was able to read then,
33:25
