Should Know a Production of I
1:10
heart radio Hey
1:14
and welcome to the podcast. I'm
1:17
Josh and there's Chuck and this
1:19
is part two of our two-parter
1:21
on the assassination of Martin Luther
1:23
King Jr. That's right. Where we
1:25
locked off with part one was
1:27
the funeral of Martin Luther King
1:29
Jr. and we're going to pick
1:32
up now with the investigation in
1:34
the man hunt. And while we're
1:36
talking about that, we might as
1:38
well go ahead and say it's
1:40
still perhaps the largest man hunt
1:42
in FBI history, depending on who
1:44
you ask. cost a couple of
1:46
million bucks in those dollars, 3500
1:49
investigators, and it was all just
1:51
a bit awkward because, as we
1:53
all know, or maybe some people
1:55
don't know this, but the FBI
1:57
had been tracking Martin Luther King
1:59
Jr. since 19th. So for 12
2:01
years under a program called Racial
2:04
Matters, racial matters. And I don't
2:06
think they meant like matters, like
2:08
race matters. No, I think they
2:10
meant the other way, like the
2:12
matters of race. Right. And then
2:14
in 1963, they started tapping his
2:16
bones under the Communist Infultration Program.
2:18
and Jay Edgar Hoover was still
2:21
around at the time because it
2:23
seems like he was there for
2:25
300 years. Yeah. And he didn't
2:27
like Martin Luther King Jr. He
2:29
called the most notorious liar in
2:31
the country publicly at a press
2:33
conference because King had been criticizing
2:35
the FBI because they you know
2:38
weren't protecting the civil rights of
2:40
black Americans and so Hoover didn't
2:42
like the guy yet he was
2:44
the guy kind of at the
2:46
top of this huge investigation. I
2:48
read... Martin Luther King's cool response
2:50
to Jay Gore Hoover calling the
2:53
most notorious liar get bent. No,
2:55
no, he said that Jay Gore
2:57
Hoover must be under tremendous pressure
2:59
to have said such a thing
3:01
like he was sympathetic. Geez, that's
3:03
talk about the high road man.
3:05
Yeah, for sure. All right. So
3:07
the FBI gets a hold of
3:10
that 30 out six rifle that
3:12
was determined to be their murder
3:14
weapon. They couldn't actually conclusively link
3:16
that bullet to the gun because
3:18
the shell had been fragmented but
3:20
it was the same caliber and
3:22
everybody was like come on it's
3:25
it's the gun can we all
3:27
just agree to that how many
3:29
rifles do you guys have just
3:31
laying around in Memphis that day
3:33
yeah dumped minutes after by a
3:35
guy who sped away in a
3:37
Mustang right hundreds of just a
3:39
hundred feet or so away from
3:42
the murder scene So, yeah, they
3:44
couldn't conclusively link that to the
3:46
gun, but they were able to
3:48
trace the serial number and they
3:50
traced it back to a sporting
3:52
goods store in Birmingham Alabama called
3:54
Arrow Marine Supply. And they confirmed
3:56
that it had been purchased just
3:59
a few days before MLK was
4:01
assessed. Yeah, along with the scope
4:03
and a gentleman who said that
4:05
he was going hunting on a
4:07
hunting trip with his brother Okay
4:09
Because yeah, you have to you
4:11
have to be like that's believable
4:14
right? Yeah, you're buying a gun.
4:16
You got to have a cover
4:18
story Yeah, and under an alias
4:20
under the name Harvey Lomire, right
4:22
so Two weeks after the killing
4:24
they they figured out that the
4:26
The Prince on the Gun matched
4:28
those of a guy named James
4:31
Earl Ray. And at the time
4:33
James Earl Ray had been an
4:35
escaped convict from a state prison
4:37
in Missouri for basically a year.
4:39
He'd been on the run. So
4:41
now we had a suspect and
4:43
we had photos and they started
4:46
circulating it around to people who
4:48
had putatively interactive with James Earl
4:50
Ray, including the guy at the
4:52
Aeromarine Supply Store who sold them
4:54
the gun. Yeah, so he was
4:56
like, that's the guy, there were
4:58
witnesses, we mentioned earlier in part
5:00
one, at the Bessie Brewer boarding
5:03
house. They also looked at pictures
5:05
and they were like, yeah, that's
5:07
the guy we saw running away.
5:09
And they went to the hotel
5:11
clerk or the boarding house clerk
5:13
and they said, yeah, this guy
5:15
signed in, that's him for sure,
5:17
under the name John Willard. So
5:20
he had multiple aliases. That portable
5:22
radio that they found in the
5:24
bundle had a scratched out ID
5:26
number and they eventually figured out
5:28
that that was his prison radio.
5:30
It had his inmate number on
5:32
it. So he escaped prison and
5:35
was like, I'm taking my radio.
5:37
It seems pretty conclusive that James
5:39
Earl Ray would have been the
5:41
shooter, right? Yeah. So they issued
5:43
an indictment for his arrest for
5:45
the murder of Martin Luther King
5:47
Jr. on May 7th, a couple
5:49
months after, or no, a month
5:52
after MLK was murdered. And an
5:54
international manhunt began. I know the
5:56
FBI was definitely concentrating on the
5:58
United States, but they didn't rule.
6:00
out the possibility that he had
6:02
started to go abroad. And so
6:04
they issued it far and wide,
6:07
a wanted poster with his data
6:09
and his photos on it. So
6:11
the FBI started tracking his movements.
6:13
He's got all these aliases in
6:15
that year that he was on
6:17
the lamb after the shooting. He
6:19
was into politics for a
6:21
little while, supporting Alabama
6:24
Governor George Wallace, his
6:26
presidential campaign. He was in
6:29
LA for a little while, he took
6:31
dance lessons, he went to bartending school,
6:33
he lived in Mexico for like a
6:35
month or so trying to become a
6:38
pornography director under the name Eric
6:40
Salvo Galt. That didn't work out,
6:42
so he left Mexico, came back to
6:44
the states, and apparently in like the
6:46
month or so before the assassination,
6:49
he had been stalking king,
6:51
and had followed him from
6:53
Atlanta to Memphis. Yeah, so
6:55
it seemed like the month
6:57
before he murdered Martin Luther
6:59
King Jr. He suddenly got
7:01
that idea in his head
7:03
because none of his movement
7:05
suggested that he had
7:07
even focused on Martin
7:09
Luther King at all up to
7:11
that point. After the assassination,
7:14
James Earl Ray fled to
7:16
Toronto. It's eventually where he
7:19
landed first. Sorry, I'm sorry
7:21
Turan, I know that too. Thanks
7:23
Chuck. So at the time, apparently
7:26
if you were an American
7:28
criminal, in Canada, they were
7:30
very, very trusting at the time.
7:33
They basically said, if you
7:35
swear that you're a Canadian
7:37
citizen, you give us your
7:39
name, we'll send you a
7:41
passport. And that's what Crooks would do.
7:43
They would go to Canada when they
7:45
were on the run. They would look
7:47
up old newspapers at the library and
7:49
find birth announcements from about the same
7:51
time that they were born, finding people
7:53
who were their age. And they would get
7:56
their name. They would get their mother's
7:58
maiden name sometimes. And apparently... you
8:00
didn't even need that. You just
8:02
fill out this form, say your
8:04
name, say yes I swear I'm
8:06
a Canadian citizen, and mail off
8:08
for a passport, which would be
8:10
mailed back to you, too sweet.
8:12
And now you had a fraudulent
8:14
but official and legitimate passport that
8:17
you could use to travel the
8:19
world with under a new alias.
8:21
Yeah, and this time his alias
8:23
was, because, you know, it was
8:25
a real dude. In fact, the
8:27
guy was a cop, pretty ironic.
8:29
I guess Snead S-N-E-Y-D. I heard
8:31
Snead from somebody once, but I
8:33
don't know if that was definitive.
8:36
Okay, well, it's good that we
8:38
spelled it out, because that'll come
8:40
into play in a minute here.
8:42
But from Toronto, he went to
8:44
London. He was actually in London
8:46
a couple of times. He passed
8:48
through London on his way to
8:50
Lisbon, and then afterward, his long-term
8:52
plan... was to go to Rhodesia,
8:54
now Zimbabwe, because in 1965 a
8:57
5% white minority there had assumed
8:59
independence from the UK and he
9:01
was like going to go to
9:03
Rhodesia and I'm going to integrate
9:05
into this small white minority and
9:07
become a paid mercenary. Yeah, so
9:09
I mean he went to Lisbon
9:11
hoping to secure passage. to Africa
9:13
and while he was there he's
9:16
like I got a great idea.
9:18
Surely that people are on my
9:20
trail, that feds are on my
9:22
trail now and they might even
9:24
know my alias. So I need
9:26
a new alias. I'm going to
9:28
go to the Canadian consulate here
9:30
in Lisbon and I'm going to
9:32
tell them that they misspelled my
9:35
name on my passport. So he
9:37
went there and he told the
9:39
Canadian consulate there that his last
9:41
name actually is spelled with an
9:43
A, not a D. And they're
9:45
like, okay, whatever, here's your new
9:47
passport with your last name spelled
9:49
correctly. And he had a new
9:51
alias, Ramone George Snaya, instead of.
9:53
So there's one letter change and
9:56
apparently that satisfied James or Ray
9:58
that he had a new alias
10:00
now. Yeah, we'll get to who
10:02
Ray was a little bit, but
10:04
the one takeaway from everything that
10:06
I've read is he was not
10:08
a very smart person. Not a
10:10
criminal mastermind. He was no brain
10:12
from Pinky in the brain. No.
10:15
Also because he did not throw
10:17
that first passport away and that
10:19
would be his undoing. He, like
10:21
we said, he could not secure
10:23
that passage to Africa, so he
10:25
went back to London to figure
10:27
out what his next move was.
10:29
He called a, this is sort
10:31
of a weird part of the
10:34
story, he called a reporter named
10:36
Ian Colvin at the Daily Mail's
10:38
Foreign Desk. And I don't know
10:40
if this guy had written articles
10:42
about it, mercenaries or something. I
10:44
don't know either. That's the only
10:46
thing I can figure out, because
10:48
he called this random reporter and
10:50
said, hey, you got any contacts
10:52
for these mercenaries. Colin was like,
10:55
no, but if you're, I guess
10:57
if you're looking to get into
10:59
that kind of thing, check into
11:01
Brussels, because that's where you might
11:03
have better luck. It's a very
11:05
strange little side part of this
11:07
story, for sure. It really is.
11:09
So James O'Rae was like, thank
11:11
you, thank you much, and starts
11:14
booking flight to Brussels from London.
11:16
And it was in London on
11:18
his way to Brussels that he
11:20
finally got nabbed, but not because
11:22
somebody noticed his mugshot or wanted
11:24
poster and saw that he was
11:26
him, but because he had those
11:28
two Canadian passports and he had
11:30
them in the same wallet. Yeah,
11:32
two different names. Yes, and the
11:35
passport checker noticed that he had
11:37
two passports and asked him about
11:39
it. And I guess a cop
11:41
was standing nearby and stepped over
11:43
and stepped over and was like,
11:45
hey, why don't you join us
11:47
in the back room? got some
11:49
questions for you. And that was
11:51
it for Ramone George Snade Snaya.
11:54
He was quickly identified as James
11:56
Earl Ray. He had a 38
11:58
caliber pistol tucked in the back
12:00
of his pants going to board
12:02
a plane. You could do. that
12:04
back then because they didn't have
12:06
metal detectors. Yeah, as long as
12:08
you didn't shoot it off because
12:10
you were excited during takeoff. Right.
12:13
In the plane, then they didn't
12:15
really care. Yeah. So he was
12:17
confirmed as James O'Rae. He was
12:19
taken into custody and on July
12:21
19th was flown back to the
12:23
US to sand trial and that

14:44
Charlie Heller is the CIA's most
14:46
brilliant computer analyst whose life
14:48
is turned upside down when his
14:51
wife is murdered in a London
14:53
terrorist attack. Rought with grief,
14:55
Charlie decides her killers must pay.
14:57
He implores his CIA superiors to
15:00
send him to train under
15:02
Agent Henderson to become a skilled
15:04
assassin to become a skilled assassin
15:07
after a few field tests. Henderson
15:09
is convinced that no matter how
15:11
much training Charlie receives, he
15:13
will never have what it takes
15:16
to become a killer. murderers. Without
15:18
the skills of an assassin,
15:20
Charlie must use his biggest weapon,
15:23
his intelligence, to enact his revenge.
15:25
Because the most unexpected threat is
15:27
an amateur. Starring Academy Award winner
15:30
Rami Mallick, Rachel Broznihan, Katrina
15:32
Balfe, Michael Stuhlberg, an Academy Award
15:34
nominee, Lawrence Fishburn, the amateur rated
15:37
PG-13, only in theaters and
15:39
IMX April 11th. Okay,
15:57
so James Earl Ray's been... taken
16:00
into custody and he's flown back
16:02
to the United States on July
16:04
19th to stand trial and the
16:06
whole world is watching. They want
16:08
to know why the man who
16:10
assassinated Martin Luther King Jr. Did
16:13
that why he murdered MLK. What
16:15
was the point? What was the
16:17
reason? They also wanted to know
16:19
if he had been working with
16:21
other people because from the outset
16:23
people were the public was just
16:26
openly skeptical that there was some
16:28
conspiracy that had resulted in MLK's
16:30
murder. And the world got none
16:32
of that because James O'Rae pled
16:34
guilty. instead of going to trial.
16:36
And there was a paper reporting
16:39
on the case who was at
16:41
this hearing where he pled guilty
16:43
and said that it brought a
16:45
shockingly swift ending to the case.
16:47
And everybody was like, what just
16:49
happened? And that was essentially that.
16:52
There was no trial ever, and
16:54
there were no facts presented. So
16:56
it was just like, yep, I
16:58
did it, send me to jail.
17:00
Yeah, his attorney at the time,
17:02
Percy Foreman said, Well, you know,
17:05
if you go to a jury
17:07
trial, you're probably going to get
17:09
a death sentence because of, you
17:11
know, because of the murder and
17:13
its impact on the country, basically,
17:15
like, you're not going to avoid
17:18
the electric chair. So if you
17:20
plead guilty, you can get the
17:22
maximum life sentence, which is 99
17:24
years in prison in Tennessee. And
17:26
he said, that's... Probably the the
17:28
right route to take so Ray
17:31
took it. It was a two-hour
17:33
affair in court No one got
17:35
the satisfaction of hearing any of
17:37
the evidence It also meant he
17:39
wouldn't be eligible for parole for
17:41
30 years Whereas if he had
17:44
gotten a life sentence and not
17:46
the 99 he could have gotten
17:48
out in 12 and a half
17:50
right But just three days after
17:52
he pleaded guilty he recanted and
17:54
tried for the rest of his
17:57
life to get a new trial
17:59
He did escape. In fact, if
18:01
you listen to our Berkeley Marathon
18:03
episode, he escaped successfully for three
18:05
days in 1977 and was picked
18:07
up in Brushy Mountain where that
18:10
race takes place. But he would
18:12
eventually die in prison in 1998
18:14
at the age of 70, which
18:16
would also been the year he
18:18
was first eligible for parole. Yes.
18:20
And you said earlier that we
18:23
were going to talk a little
18:25
bit about James Earl Ray in
18:27
his criminal career. That's right. So
18:29
he was born in Illinois, but
18:31
mostly grew up in Missouri, and
18:33
he was the oldest of nine
18:36
kids, and his family was impoverished.
18:38
His father was a convict himself,
18:40
who didn't work very often. His
18:42
mother was, as James Earl Ray
18:44
put, a woman of very limited
18:46
intelligence, barely able to communicate, and
18:49
she also drank very heavily. And
18:51
there was a report card from
18:53
grade school that said his attitude
18:55
toward regulations was that he violates
18:57
all of them. This was him
18:59
as a kid and he didn't
19:02
improve very much as an adult.
19:04
He dropped out of high school
19:06
at 16, worked for a while,
19:08
and then he joined the army.
19:10
Yeah, he joined the army. Yeah,
19:12
he dropped out of high school
19:15
at 16. King was in college
19:17
at 15. So it just contrasts
19:19
the two situations. And 46, he
19:21
joined the army, with breaking arrest.
19:23
He served three months in the
19:25
Army Klink, hard labor for that.
19:28
He was discharged less than honorably
19:30
for, quote, an epnes and lack
19:32
of adaptability to military service in
19:34
1948. So just a couple of
19:36
years in the Army. And then
19:38
was a drifter and a petty
19:41
criminal who was in and out
19:43
of jail over and over. Yeah,
19:45
and he was serving a 20-year
19:47
sentence for robbery in Missouri. He
19:49
started it in 1960 when he
19:51
broke out in 1967 and began
19:54
that year on the lamb. that
19:56
culminated in the assassination of MLK.
19:58
Yeah, and you know, it was
20:00
really a 20-year prison sentence for
20:02
everything, because it was a pretty
20:04
small robbery at Kroger that wouldn't
20:07
have gotten a 20-year, but he
20:09
had other armed robbery convictions, he
20:11
had mail fraud convictions, and escape
20:13
attempts. So it was like, hey,
20:15
we're just going to try and
20:17
put you away for a while.
20:20
Right. And if you're curious how
20:22
he escaped. He hid in a
20:24
bread delivery truck that was leaving
20:26
the prison. I heard that too.
20:28
Yeah. You would have found me
20:30
eating loaves of bread too. With
20:33
your little portable radio, prison radio.
20:35
Just snapping my fingers with a
20:37
mouthful of bread. So his criminal
20:39
history, just because your lifetime criminal
20:41
doesn't mean you're good at it?
20:43
Yeah. And James Royal Ray is
20:46
an excellent example of that. Time
20:48
magazine described him back in 1977
20:50
back in 1977 back in 1977.
20:52
as a bungling petty gunman and
20:54
burglar whose life of crime has
20:56
mostly been one fizzle after another.
20:59
And they weren't lying because some
21:01
of his greatest hits that they
21:03
went on to site was that
21:05
at one crime scene he dropped
21:07
identification. He dropped his ID. Yeah.
21:09
One hold up in a neighborhood
21:12
he got lost as he was
21:14
making his getaway ended up back
21:16
driving back into the neighborhood where
21:18
he just robbed somebody. and was
21:20
caught by the police who derived
21:22
on the scene by then. Yeah,
21:25
who are apparently surprised. I imagine
21:27
they were like, oh, wait a
21:29
minute. Is that him coming back?
21:31
Get a load of this guy.
21:33
Another time he came back to
21:35
to re-rob a place, he had
21:38
already robbed, re-entered the window to
21:40
get more stuff. That is a
21:42
no-no. That is crime 101. Yeah,
21:44
like, get out of there. I'm
21:46
not a criminal, but I would
21:48
get out of there. So even
21:51
when he was in London too,
21:53
when he was on the run
21:55
after assessing the MLK, he carried
21:57
out not one but two bungled
21:59
robberies. It's crazy. One was a
22:01
bank and he managed to only
22:04
get a hundred pounds from a
22:06
bank. Yeah. The other was a
22:08
jewelry store where he got nothing
22:10
because the owner knocked the gun
22:12
out of his hand and pressed
22:14
the alarm so James O'Rae ran
22:17
away. And these are the Londoners.
22:19
They're not used to knocking guns
22:21
out of hands and this guy
22:23
still managed to do it. That's
22:25
right. Yeah, he just was not
22:27
a very good criminal even though
22:30
he tried it over and over
22:32
again. And he was successful. I
22:34
mean, like he did successfully rob
22:36
people and break into places and
22:38
all that. But if you put
22:40
it all together, he didn't have
22:43
like a violent criminal rap sheet.
22:45
He was this kind of this
22:47
petty criminal, that's how he supported
22:49
himself in life, in one single
22:51
action. Seemingly overnight and a lot
22:53
of people say that just doesn't
22:56
add up. Yeah, and you know,
22:58
we don't lend our show and
23:00
ourselves to conspiracy-minded generally, but you
23:02
don't have to be to look
23:04
at this and say he probably
23:06
didn't act alone. It just doesn't
23:09
add up like you said. So
23:11
there have been congressional committees over
23:13
the years that have been family
23:15
members of Martin Luther King Jr.
23:17
that said, yeah, this was part
23:19
of a conspiracy. There's never been
23:22
any solid agreement on what kind
23:24
of conspiracy and who else was
23:26
behind it. And we're not going
23:28
to get into the nitty gritty
23:30
of all the, there's a lot
23:32
of, there's a lot of discounted
23:35
stuff and stuff that rabbit holes
23:37
shouldn't even go down. So we're
23:39
not going to get into those,
23:41
but we are going to talk
23:43
about the legit idea of a
23:45
conspiracy and who could have been
23:48
involved, like, for real. Yeah, because
23:50
again, how did this petty criminal
23:52
plan an assassination that he successfully
23:54
carried out? And then also in
23:56
a panic like dropped the murder
23:58
weapon and ran off in a
24:01
place where it would be found
24:03
within a minute or two. Yeah.
24:05
Where did he get the funding
24:07
that he would need to support
24:09
himself for a year on the
24:11
lamb and then to travel abroad?
24:14
to flee after the assassination. These
24:16
are just a few of the
24:18
questions people have come up with.
24:20
And the obvious solution is that
24:22
he had help in some way,
24:24
shape, or form. But another really
24:26
big question that I think that
24:29
a lot of people overlook is
24:31
why? Like why did he... murder
24:33
Martin Luther King Jr. He wasn't
24:35
known as a fanatic. He was
24:37
a racist and like we said
24:39
he supported George Wallace for his
24:42
segregationist presidential bid, but he wasn't
24:44
like a fanatic. And also like
24:46
he didn't have any particularly deep
24:48
emotions one way or another for
24:50
MLK. He just was his murderer
24:52
and it just does not make
24:55
a lot of sense. Yeah, so
24:57
after he retracted that confession just
24:59
days after his conviction, he started
25:01
saying, I was set up, and
25:03
I was set up by a
25:05
guy named Raoul. So supposedly he
25:08
had a lot of interactions with
25:10
this Raoul guy, but he went
25:12
from describing him as a Latino
25:14
with blonde hair to a French
25:16
Canadian with red hair. Nobody ever
25:18
witnessed him with anyone that looked
25:21
like either one of those people.
25:23
A lot of people think there
25:25
is no Raoul at all. but
25:27
he still could have had help
25:29
you know from someone else. Yeah,
25:31
so you mentioned congressional committees who
25:34
that concluded that there was some
25:36
sort of conspiracy One of them
25:38
was a house select committee on
25:40
assassinations in 1978 They said that
25:42
there was a likelihood of conspiracy
25:44
in the assassination of dr. King,
25:47
but they didn't think it was
25:49
like Raoul was involved or anything
25:51
like that right it was much
25:53
more pedestrian a mundane and in
25:55
my opinion than much more likely
25:57
as far as the conspiracy theories
26:00
go, but they put it on
26:02
two prominent but shady St. Louisans.
26:04
I'm pretty sure that's what you
26:06
call people from St. Louis. One
26:08
was a former stockbroker who became
26:10
a motel owner. His name was
26:13
John R. Kaufman. The other was
26:15
a patent lawyer in town named
26:17
John H. Sutherland. Both of them
26:19
were dead by the time the
26:21
committee hearings were held in 1978.
26:23
But they supposedly put a bounty.
26:26
on MLK's head and James Earl
26:28
Ray, whose brother was a tavern
26:30
owner in St. Louis at the
26:32
time, heard about this bounty and
26:34
decided that he would go ahead
26:36
and murder and collect on the
26:39
bounty. And I also saw that
26:41
he probably believed that as a
26:43
white man he would never be
26:45
convicted of murdering a black man
26:47
in the South. And even if
26:49
he did, George Wallace was definitely
26:52
going to win the 1968 election
26:54
and George Wallace would pardon him.
26:56
So if you put all that
26:58
together, it really seems like a
27:00
pretty legitimate explanation for the whole
27:02
thing. Yeah, as far as Martin
27:05
Luther King Jr.'s widow, Coretta Scott
27:07
King, she was, she always thought
27:09
the FBI might have had something
27:11
to do with it. She knew
27:13
that they had been surveilled and
27:15
their phones had been tapped. She
27:18
thought they, you know, were a
27:20
possible, you know, bad actors. They
27:22
even, you know, this is sort
27:24
of startling and in fact it
27:26
startled the country in the late
27:28
90s. But they came around to
27:31
believing James or Ray, Dexter Scott
27:33
King, one of his sons, visited
27:35
James or Ray in prison. They
27:37
pushed for him to get an
27:39
appeal. He apparently asked him point
27:41
blank, like, did you kill my
27:44
father? And James or Ray said,
27:46
no, I didn't. No. And then
27:48
apparently he also said, but like
27:50
I say, sometimes these questions are
27:52
difficult to answer. Sometimes you have
27:54
to make your own evaluation. It
27:57
may become to the conclusion. I
27:59
think that could be done today,
28:01
but not 30 years ago. None
28:03
of that makes any sense. No,
28:05
because it isn't difficult to say
28:07
you either did or you did
28:10
not commit murder. Yeah, but as
28:12
shocking as this meeting was, they
28:14
got on board and said, I
28:16
don't think you did this. I
28:18
think you were Patsy. I think
28:20
you were set up. And a
28:23
lot of Americans were confused and
28:25
a lot were offended. A Pulitzer
28:27
Prize winning biographer of Martin Luther
28:29
King Jr. David Garrow. said that
28:31
Dexter King's support was of Ray
28:33
was egregious and embarrassing. Yeah. I
28:36
say we take a break and
28:38
we come back and kind of
28:40
get stick with the late 90s
28:42
because they were kind of the
28:44
90s were a big decade for
28:46
conspiracy theories and the MLK assassination.

31:13
Charlie Heller is the CIA's
31:15
most brilliant computer analyst whose
31:17
life is turned upside down
31:19
when his wife is murdered
31:21
in a London terrorist attack.
31:23
Rought with grief, Charlie decides
31:25
her killers must pay. He
31:27
implores his CIA superiors to
31:29
send him to train under
31:31
Agent Henderson to become a
31:33
skilled assassin after a few
31:35
field tests. Henderson is convinced
31:37
that no matter how much
31:39
training Charlie receives, he will
31:41
never have what it takes
31:43
to become a killer. But
31:45
Charlie doesn't let this stop
31:47
him and without the support
31:49
of the CIA. murder. Without
31:51
the skills of an assassin,
31:53
Charlie must use his biggest
31:55
weapon, his intelligence, to enact
31:57
his revenge. Because the most
31:59
unexpected threat is an amateur.
32:01
Starring Academy Award winner Rami
32:03
Mallick, Rachel Broznihan, Katrina Balfe,
32:05
Michael Stuhlberg, an Academy Award
32:07
nominee, Lawrence Fishburn, the amateur
32:09
rated PG-13, only in theaters
32:11
and... Max April 11th. So
32:13
there's an attorney named William
32:15
Pepper who was a And
32:17
he's not someone that a
32:19
lot of people thought a
32:21
lot of in his career.
32:23
He'd been described as disgraceful
32:25
by some, the most gullible
32:27
person I've ever met by
32:29
someone else. He was readily
32:31
and willing to just malign
32:33
innocent people to get his
32:35
theories out there. And I
32:37
remember this happening. I didn't
32:39
watch it, but on the
32:41
25th anniversary of King's murder,
32:43
so I guess somewhere in
32:45
the mid-90s. He sold HBO.
32:47
on producing and broadcasting a
32:49
mock trial TV special of
32:51
James Earl Ray in which
32:53
Ray was acquitted by the
32:55
mock jury. Yeah. And so
32:57
that was, you know, whoo,
32:59
that's crazy, but it's a
33:01
mock trial on HBO and
33:03
it's a mock jury. It
33:05
doesn't mean anything. It just
33:07
basically promoted William Pepper in
33:09
his theories. But after that
33:11
special was aired. Conspiracy theories
33:13
about the MLK assassination got
33:15
a real boost because a
33:17
guy named Lloyd Jowers came
33:19
forward. He said he was
33:21
inspired to come forward by
33:23
the series and come clean
33:25
essentially after all of these
33:27
years. And he owned a
33:29
tavern in Memphis called Jim's
33:31
Grill, which just happened to
33:33
be located beneath Bessie Brewer's
33:35
boarding house where the fatal
33:37
shot that killed MLK was
33:39
fired from. And Lloyd Jowers
33:41
said that he was part
33:43
of a... big giant conspiracy
33:45
to murder MLK that included
33:47
the police, the FBI, the
33:49
mafia himself, and some other
33:51
just, you know, tangential players
33:53
who were all coming together
33:55
to kill King in order
33:57
to collect on a bunch
33:59
of money. Lloyd Jauer said
34:01
that he was him, just
34:03
him alone, was offered $100,000
34:05
to basically project to manage
34:07
the contract killing. Yeah, I
34:10
feel like if you're floating
34:12
a... conspiracy about an assassination,
34:14
if you just throw out
34:16
like local cops and mafia,
34:18
then you're probably halfway there.
34:20
Yeah, for sale. Yeah, oh
34:22
definitely, that'll get everybody's attention.
34:24
So Martin Luther King Jr.'s
34:26
family sued him for wrongful
34:28
death in civil court. Again,
34:30
this is not a criminal
34:32
trial or anything. They didn't
34:34
want money, they wanted a
34:36
hundred bucks, they basically wanted
34:38
to get all these claims
34:40
heard in court and have
34:42
it, you know, out in
34:44
public. They, this is sort
34:46
of shocking as well. The
34:48
family was represented by that
34:50
attorney, William Pepper, who had
34:52
represented James Hooray. The jury
34:54
did decide that Jowers and
34:56
others, including government agencies, had
34:58
been responsible for King's death.
35:00
So they actually won that
35:02
civil trial. They did. And
35:04
I read two things. I
35:06
read that Dexter King basically
35:08
said, like, we did this
35:10
so that, you know, to
35:12
prove that the investigation needed
35:14
to be reopened. And then
35:16
he also said, regardless of
35:18
whether it gets reopened or
35:20
not. This is like the
35:22
period on the sentence for
35:24
us. Like this just basically
35:26
supports everything we've always said.
35:28
Right. The Justice Department, the
35:30
Civil Rights Division, had simultaneously
35:32
launched an investigation into Lloyd
35:34
Jowers' claims. I guess they
35:36
seemed legitimate enough. But also
35:38
this investigation entailed claims made
35:40
by a former FBI agent
35:42
named Donald Wilson. And Wilson
35:44
said that he had been,
35:46
I guess he had been,
35:48
one of the people who
35:50
search through the Mustang that
35:52
James O'Rae got away in
35:54
and that he had found
35:56
some papers in this Mustang
35:58
that had info about the
36:00
JFK assassination. Okay. I think
36:02
Donald Wilson's like, how can
36:04
I get people to listen?
36:06
JFK. He also said that
36:08
the name Raoul was mentioned
36:10
in it as well in
36:12
these papers. And so the
36:14
Justice Department starts looking into
36:16
it and they concluded in
36:18
a report in 2000 that
36:20
this is all just kind
36:22
of BS to paraphrase. Yeah,
36:24
basically. He's out for a
36:26
book deal is what they
36:28
concluded. Percy Foreman, the original
36:30
attorney for James or Ray,
36:32
as far as he was
36:34
concerned, he thought Ray acted
36:36
alone. His biographer William Bradford
36:38
Huey also said, yeah, I
36:40
think he acted alone and
36:42
he was trying to just
36:44
become a bigger criminal and
36:46
like impress larger criminals that
36:48
he was a valuable guy
36:50
to work with. Right. Yeah.
36:52
There was an investigative reporter
36:54
too who investigated James Earl
36:56
Ray as investigative reporters do.
36:58
His name was George McMillan.
37:00
He interviewed a bunch of
37:02
Ray's fellow prisoners from the
37:04
Missouri prison that he broke
37:06
out of in 1967, and
37:08
they were like, yeah, he
37:10
was a huge drug dealer
37:12
in prison, like he was
37:14
rolling in it. One of
37:16
them claimed that he was
37:18
able to smuggle out $6,500.
37:21
from the prison. And in
37:23
today's money, that's about $60,000.
37:25
So that alone, if true,
37:27
satisfies that really big question
37:29
about how could this petty
37:31
criminal support himself for a
37:33
year on the lamb. 60K
37:35
can go a long way,
37:37
especially if you're committing other
37:39
crimes. But yeah, it sounds
37:41
like he blew a lot
37:43
of it on bartending school
37:45
and dance lessons. Still, you
37:47
could live for a year
37:49
on 60K, no problem. Yeah,
37:51
and he had to buy
37:53
some of that camera equipment
37:55
because he tried to be
37:57
a porn director in Mexico.
37:59
That's right. So I guess we're at
38:01
the point now where we can
38:03
kind of talk a little bit
38:05
about, you know, had the sliding
38:08
doors gone another way and had
38:10
that March gone forward on April
38:12
4th and maybe James Oray doesn't
38:14
get that shot, what would have
38:16
happened had King been around? I
38:18
guess we'll talk at first about
38:20
what happened since that did occur
38:23
was that he was an instant
38:25
martyr. you know for all practical
38:27
purposes he was he was
38:29
sainted in that moment. It
38:31
was just so sudden it was
38:34
so violent and the polling you
38:36
know we talked about polling in
38:38
episode one about how white Americans
38:40
felt about him. In 1966
38:42
people polled 36% of all Americans
38:45
had a favorable opinion of king,
38:47
27% of white America and in
38:49
2011 That number had gone to
38:51
93% of white Americans had a
38:53
favorable view of King and 81%
38:55
of all American adults Said he
38:57
had a positive impact on the
38:59
US So that's from 66 to
39:01
2011, but that was also happening
39:03
at the time like in the
39:06
days and months before and after
39:08
there was a stark difference right?
39:10
Yeah, there was an almost immediate
39:12
change in opinion of him after
39:14
he died It was like
39:16
the band Cinderella said you
39:18
don't know what you got
39:20
till it's gone There was
39:22
this just complete happenstance study
39:24
that had been carried out
39:27
in February and March of
39:29
1968, where they sent 10,000
39:31
surveys to college and university
39:33
trustees, I guess to take a
39:35
pulse on the university and
39:37
college trustee subculture, that
39:39
asked, among other things,
39:42
how they felt about Martin Luther
39:44
King, how they felt about his
39:46
views, how much they aligned with
39:48
their own views. And after MLK
39:51
was assassinated, they went through and
39:53
they separated the surveys that they'd
39:55
received before his death and after
39:57
his death. And there was a
40:00
stark... difference. Before he was assassinated
40:02
36% of the respondents said that
40:04
they held similar views to King.
40:06
After the assassination that rose to
40:08
50% this is within a couple
40:11
weeks. Yeah. Before the assassination 30%
40:13
more than 30% said that King's
40:15
views were very unlike theirs. Afterward
40:17
it dropped down to 19% yeah.
40:19
So it was happening in real
40:22
time and we know that thanks
40:24
to that that poll. And it's
40:26
really hard to overstate the effect,
40:28
the immediate effect that his assassination
40:30
had on the conscience of the
40:32
United States. I think it really
40:35
made a lot of probably everyday
40:37
racist Americans really rethink themselves, you
40:39
know, that at the time you
40:41
could dislike Martin Luther King Jr.
40:43
He was alive, he was railing
40:46
against Vietnam and going on about
40:48
poor people and everything, but now
40:50
he's gone murdered and just... Something
40:52
like that can really shock people
40:54
into focusing more on themselves and
40:57
on their viewpoints than otherwise you
40:59
would. Yeah, for sure. I mean,
41:01
one thing that definitely came out
41:03
of this was Lyndon Johnson kind
41:05
of used this to get the
41:07
Fair Housing Act of 1968 passed.
41:10
It had failed in 66 and
41:12
67. So it wasn't a bill
41:14
that looked like it had an
41:16
immediate future. He kind of did
41:18
the same thing with the Civil
41:21
Rights Act of 64 right after
41:23
JFK was assassinated. So, you know,
41:25
very politically savvy to kind of
41:27
get these things passed through when
41:29
the nation would have been more
41:32
on board with that and politicians
41:34
would have been more on board.
41:36
Maybe wouldn't have been able to
41:38
get it passed through in 68
41:40
and then he had already announced
41:42
that he wasn't running for re-election
41:45
before the assassination. given what happened
41:47
with Nixon and then Reagan coming
41:49
in, if King had lived, it's
41:51
doubtful that he would have had
41:53
the kind of relationship that he
41:56
had with Johnson. with those two
41:58
guys. Yeah, but remember also that
42:00
he and Johnson had already had
42:02
a rift because of MLK's more
42:04
open vocal stance against Vietnam. Yeah.
42:07
And you know he would have
42:09
definitely kept railing against Vietnam so
42:11
that rift would have widened even
42:13
further. And also general Americans opinions
42:15
of him probably would have declined
42:17
even further because remember after that
42:20
1967 Vietnam speech. his popularity, especially
42:22
among white Americans, just plummeted, in
42:24
part because he called the U.S.
42:26
government the greatest purveyor of violence
42:28
in the world today, that's a
42:31
pretty direct shot against, you know,
42:33
the government. And if you are
42:35
all about the government and this,
42:37
you know, black civil rights leaders
42:39
saying stuff like that, you're going
42:42
to take your angst out on
42:44
the black civil rights leader who's
42:46
saying it, rather than stopping and
42:48
questioning whether he's right. Yeah, for
42:50
sure. A lot of people point
42:53
out that like, like... the he
42:55
would have continued to work for
42:57
civil rights for black Americans but
42:59
also may have started champion in
43:01
the cause of the LGBTQ rights
43:03
as a community. Corretta Scott King
43:06
vocally supported this stuff you know
43:08
after his passing and Martin Luther
43:10
King Jr. worked very closely with
43:12
a gentleman named Bayard Rustin and
43:14
openly gay civil rights advocate who
43:17
who could have kept himself in
43:19
the closet, but very much was
43:21
out. And so people think that,
43:23
yeah, King probably would have taken
43:25
up that cause as well later
43:28
on. Yeah, we did an episode
43:30
from 2015 on the March on
43:32
Washington. We talked about Bayard rested
43:34
a lot. Yeah. He's also often
43:36
compared to Nelson Mandel, had MLK
43:38
live, they people say like he.
43:41
might have followed some sort of
43:43
trajectory similar to Nelson Mandela's, but
43:45
Mandela became president of South Africa.
43:47
Would MLK have ever run for
43:49
president? From what I saw most
43:52
historians say, probably not, that was
43:54
never an... aspiration of his. And
43:56
in fact, he actually turned down
43:58
an offer to run on a
44:00
third party ticket, the People's Party
44:03
ticket, for the 1968 election with
44:05
pediatrician, the author of the very
44:07
famous baby book, Dr. Benjamin Spock,
44:09
who had turned anti-war activists as
44:11
his vice president. So he probably
44:13
would not have ever run for
44:16
president, but he still would have
44:18
remained a very potent powerful voice
44:20
for civil rights for everybody. Had
44:22
he not been assassinated, I don't
44:24
think his legacy would be anything
44:27
like it is today. Yeah, how
44:29
great though would it have been
44:31
to be able to source a
44:33
King Spock 68 t-shirt or bumper
44:35
sticker? I guess somebody dummied that
44:38
up or else it got far
44:40
enough that somebody made buttons because
44:42
I saw an image of that
44:44
on the internet. Yeah, I don't
44:46
know if it was made up
44:48
or not. You can't tell these
44:51
days, you know. You can't. And
44:53
then this all culminated finally with
44:55
Martin Luther King Jr. the National
44:57
Holiday. The campaign for that federal
44:59
holiday began just a few days
45:02
after he was killed in 1968.
45:04
Representative John Conyers, a Democrat from
45:06
Michigan. reintroduced that legislation every single
45:08
year with the backing of the
45:10
Congressional Black Caucus, which he helped
45:13
found and it was denied every
45:15
single year until 15 years later
45:17
when President Ronald Reagan signed that
45:19
bill making the third Monday in
45:21
January of Federal Holiday, and then
45:23
it was first observed in 1986
45:26
by everybody very famously except for
45:28
Arizona. They were the last holdout,
45:30
and I remember this happening very
45:32
well. Mainly because the great great
45:34
song by the time I get
45:37
to Arizona by public enemy that
45:39
came out So we got that
45:41
out of it, which is pretty
45:43
great. But the NFL was like,
45:45
you know what, you're not getting
45:48
the Super Bowl in 1993. And
45:50
then after that, they said, all
45:52
right, we'll get on board. So
45:54
we can have a Super Bowl.
45:56
Whatever it takes, by any means
45:59
necessary. Arizona, get it together. They
46:01
did. That was way back in
46:03
1993. Those people, those policy makers
46:05
are all dead and gone by
46:07
now. I lived in Arizona. I
46:09
love that place. Oh yeah. That's
46:12
right, Yuma, Yuma, right. Yuma, right.
46:14
Do you ever take the 310?
46:16
Uh, no trains. Uh, no trains.
46:18
Uh, okay. Well, since I made
46:20
Chuck laugh, I think that we
46:23
should end on a high note
46:25
here and say that it's time
46:27
for listener mail. That's right. I'm
46:29
pointing out a Josh mass error.
46:31
Oh, great. So sorry. Let's do
46:34
it. Hey guys, always laughing hearing
46:36
when you quickly correct yourselves before
46:38
the email start. I didn't hear
46:40
that one today, though, and I'm
46:42
sure you're getting more than just
46:44
this email. Actually Andrew we didn't
46:47
you were the only one that
46:49
caught this. Oh nice way to
46:51
go Andrew this was in the
46:53
What would this have been? GPS
46:55
I guess okay. Oh by the
46:58
way I never posted that that
47:00
That uh what do you call
47:02
it when things intersect the Venn
47:04
diagram that I said you that
47:06
said bingo I need to put
47:09
that on our Instagram. Yeah, please
47:11
too. I'll do it. Hey guys
47:13
when Josh was describing the 2D
47:15
tri-lateration Circles and distance from Denver,
47:17
he said to draw a circle
47:19
around the named city with a
47:22
diameter of distance described, but that
47:24
would be a circle half too
47:26
small. You need a circle with
47:28
a radius for that distance or
47:30
a diameter of twice that radius.
47:33
Your compass would be said to
47:35
the width of the distance you
47:37
are from the city and you
47:39
draw that circle which would give
47:41
you a circle around a city
47:44
where every point on that circle
47:46
is that described distance. from City
47:48
Center Point. That makes sense. And
47:50
this is from an electrical engineer
47:52
in Knoxville Tennessee Andrew White who
47:54
said it It makes me happy
47:57
to listen and learn from you
47:59
all each day. So I trust
48:01
you Andrew, because you're an electrical
48:03
engineer. Yeah, Andrew White, the fastest
48:05
compass in Tennessee. Thanks a lot,
48:08
Andrew. I totally get that. That
48:10
was very well explained. Better than
48:12
I explained it, for sure. And
48:14
if you want to be like
48:16
Andrew and correct my math, there's
48:19
not really much sport in it,
48:21
but you can still do it
48:23
anyway by sending us an email
