1
00:00:21.040 --> 00:00:24.500
We're going to be taking your calls in a little while, and tonight we're going to be talking

2
00:00:24.500 --> 00:00:29.720
about the draft registration program, which will begin less than a month from now.

3
00:00:29.720 --> 00:00:35.800
We're told our guest in the studio, John Rawson from the Coalition Against Registration in the draft here in Chicago.

4
00:00:35.880 --> 00:00:37.400
Welcome back to the program, John.

5
00:00:37.900 --> 00:00:40.080
I'm very glad you've given me the opportunity.

6
00:00:40.620 --> 00:00:42.900
A lot of developments since the last time we've spoken.

7
00:00:44.240 --> 00:00:45.220
Thank you for your call.

8
00:00:46.160 --> 00:00:47.300
5916311 is the number.

9
00:00:47.480 --> 00:00:50.780
John Rawson from Coalition Against Registration in the draft is our guest.

10
00:00:50.980 --> 00:00:59.560
And John, it's rather ironic that President Carter, who started out his term in office four years ago by granting amnesty to the draft resistors from Vietnam.

11
00:00:59.720 --> 00:01:04.900
He's going to be ending his first four years in office by reinstating peacetime draft registration.

12
00:01:05.300 --> 00:01:10.040
Yes, in 1976, he came out against the draft.

13
00:01:10.900 --> 00:01:12.080
Hi, MET, Zero BS.

14
00:01:12.100 --> 00:01:12.940
Can I help you?

15
00:01:14.560 --> 00:01:15.800
Call that question, I guess.

16
00:01:16.060 --> 00:01:16.840
What's the question?

17
00:01:17.780 --> 00:01:21.180
Oh, I just said I was favoring the draft at 19 years old.

18
00:01:22.020 --> 00:01:25.340
I think we need national defense.

19
00:01:26.080 --> 00:01:27.760
We have to build up our national defense.

20
00:01:28.440 --> 00:01:28.680
All right.

21
00:01:28.680 --> 00:01:29.640
Thanks for your call, pal.

22
00:01:29.720 --> 00:01:30.440
Bye.

23
00:01:32.420 --> 00:01:33.640
Coalition Against Registration.

24
00:01:33.860 --> 00:01:33.860


25
00:01:34.120 --> 00:01:34.400
Why did you...

26
00:01:35.060 --> 00:01:36.460
Because he has a terrible voice.

27
00:01:36.840 --> 00:01:37.600
This is Mighty MET.

28
00:01:38.120 --> 00:01:38.460
Hello.

29
00:01:38.740 --> 00:01:39.080
Hi.

30
00:01:39.300 --> 00:01:39.700
How are you doing?

31
00:01:39.880 --> 00:01:40.360
Okay.

32
00:01:40.620 --> 00:01:41.040
Got a question.

33
00:01:41.380 --> 00:01:45.660
First, I'd like to say that I disagree with your views on that this is another lie as Vietnam was.

34
00:01:46.220 --> 00:01:53.900
I believe that this program of registration was set up in the light of the event that occurred on the borders of Russia and Afghanistan and Iran.

35
00:01:54.400 --> 00:01:58.780
I believe that the president had to raise the question of registration.

36
00:01:58.780 --> 00:02:05.140
Now, advocates of pre-mobilization registration such as Carter also have been thesis as a symbol.

37
00:02:06.000 --> 00:02:11.360
And I agree that symbols are important such as the UN condemning Russia's aggression.

38
00:02:12.480 --> 00:02:13.680
What specifically?

39
00:02:15.100 --> 00:02:24.200
Like, I've been hearing a rumor around that if you're the only son of the family, like you wouldn't have to sign up for it or something.

40
00:02:24.540 --> 00:02:26.380
No, everyone has to register.

41
00:02:26.380 --> 00:02:28.480
Everyone has to register.

42
00:02:28.720 --> 00:02:33.120
What happens if they institute the draft, then there are the deferments and things of that sort.

43
00:02:33.380 --> 00:02:34.840
But everyone has to register.

44
00:02:35.780 --> 00:02:37.900
You get the broadcast on your phone.

45
00:02:39.200 --> 00:02:40.440
Are you still with me?

46
00:02:40.960 --> 00:02:44.080
I want you to think about what you're going to say and articulate it clearly.

47
00:02:44.340 --> 00:02:44.380
All right?

48
00:02:45.200 --> 00:02:45.560
Stand by.

49
00:02:45.620 --> 00:02:46.360
I'm going to put you on hold.

50
00:02:50.280 --> 00:02:51.480
Carter have an argument.

51
00:02:53.180 --> 00:02:56.460
Let's make sure that all arguments are settled in a peaceful way.

52
00:02:56.720 --> 00:02:58.960
That'll be in the best interest of the United States.

53
00:02:59.220 --> 00:03:06.640
It'll be in the best interest of the human race, which has an awful lot to lose in case a nuclear confrontation starts.

54
00:03:07.700 --> 00:03:09.420
I'm E.T. Zero B.S. Can I help you?

55
00:03:09.640 --> 00:03:11.420
Yeah, will I be able to talk to the guest?

56
00:03:12.380 --> 00:03:17.020
I tell you there are two other callers in front of you. Your chances are pretty good.

57
00:03:17.300 --> 00:03:17.860
Okay, good.

58
00:03:18.400 --> 00:03:19.560
What's the nature of your question?

59
00:03:19.560 --> 00:03:22.600
I'm going to offer an opposing view.

60
00:03:22.880 --> 00:03:24.220
An opposing view?

61
00:03:24.340 --> 00:03:25.760
Yeah, I know that you haven't had too many of them.

62
00:03:25.780 --> 00:03:27.540
Yeah, right. Have you got a radio on in the background?

63
00:03:27.780 --> 00:03:28.560
It's off, don't worry.

64
00:03:28.760 --> 00:03:29.360
Stand by.

65
00:03:31.020 --> 00:03:32.460
It was freedom.

66
00:03:32.800 --> 00:03:36.720
And that's the opinion not just of John Rawson or of others who were in the anti-draft movement.

67
00:03:37.000 --> 00:03:43.500
It's the opinion of a great many of the senators and congressmen in the United States who voted against draft registration.

68
00:03:43.500 --> 00:03:49.620
So you're sacrificing the freedom of the world for the freedom of a few of, let's say, a large number of Americans then?

69
00:03:50.080 --> 00:03:55.220
No, I don't think that the freedom of the world is at stake. I think that the existence of humanity is,

70
00:03:55.680 --> 00:04:01.040
the continued existence of the human race is at stake now and that we can't afford to get...

71
00:04:01.040 --> 00:04:07.880
We put it here first on WMET. We're going to play a cut off that album now. WMET rocks Chicago.

72
00:04:38.160 --> 00:04:40.640
I'd like to speak about the draft a little bit.

73
00:04:41.440 --> 00:04:46.600
The people who fought in World War I and World War II, whoever they fought against, made it safe

74
00:04:47.120 --> 00:04:52.060
for our generation now. So we're going to have to make it safe for future generations

75
00:04:52.780 --> 00:04:59.240
because we do live here and we can party. Americans are cool but we can't let anyone push us around.

76
00:05:00.220 --> 00:05:04.380
If we have the manpower there, maybe we don't have to use it, but just have it there to show other

77
00:05:04.380 --> 00:05:09.040
countries that you push America around then it's just not good.

78
00:05:09.040 --> 00:05:13.300
Should we the people let our government push us around?

79
00:05:14.260 --> 00:05:18.720
Well, you know, we got freedom. We can enjoy the land. We can work where we want.

80
00:05:19.120 --> 00:05:23.200
You know, we got it pretty good. If we were over in Russia, they'd get drafted right out of high

81
00:05:23.200 --> 00:05:27.480
school and they have nothing to say about it. I suppose we were fighting for freedom. That's

82
00:05:27.480 --> 00:05:33.460
always what we say we're fighting for and then we give our freedom away in the name of freedom

83
00:05:33.460 --> 00:05:36.260
and that's almost our welly.

84
00:06:24.520 --> 00:06:25.200
So

85
00:06:25.200 --> 00:06:31.520
downtown 64 degrees Dave Elkert here more news at 8 30 as WMET informed Chicago

86

To wonder why we'll be

You've got a dream, boy

You're just a spin and a throw
