People in the 50s-60s had the best greetings. “How do ya do sir “
The sound of the recording device sounds like a heart beat and makes the whole conversation seem menacing in a way and extremely important
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!
I love that sound in the video
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.
Agree. LBJ was a master strategist. He was also a white supremacist.
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
LBJ reminds me of myself when I get old lol just taking over the damn phone conversation 😂
I fast forwarded like 20 times and all I heard was LBJ talkin crap.
he just rambles on
lbj doing politics - one of the all time greats
Martin Luther King Jr. is probably thinking this whole time "what the heck is the President talking about?"
why was it taped?? do you think LBJ even knew?
steve stevens Oh yeah. The pulsing sound you hear is from a dictabelt machine. Perhaps the same machine Kennedy used to record his conversations.
Not sure. The voice you hear on many of the dictabelt recordings of JFK were of his personal secretary Evelyn Lincoln, who was told to vacate the White House by LBJ on Nov. 23, 1963. She was replaced by Johnson's personal secretary Gerri Whittington.
All Presidents are taped
LBJ was kind of obsessed with recording all of his phone calls while in office. He also had them transcribed and would often read the transcription before going to bed at night. 😎
This had to be edited. MLK doesn't get a word in! Lol!
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.
I don’t know what he’s saying.!
