A rarely played 1968 clip of Martin Luther King Jr. features him demanding a check from the government, noting that white peasants from Europe were given millions of acres of land and federal subsidies. King critiques the "bootstraps" narrative, pointing out that the government provided land-grant colleges and low interest rates to others while refusing the same to black Americans. The hosts highlight this as a part of King's legacy that is intentionally ignored by modern "tools" who use his image.
