00:00:13.920
Well, we're now finding out more about the shooter who will remain nameless on this program.
00:00:18.000
We're not going to give him any fame, but he is now being described as vocally anti-Christian.
00:00:26.800
A 26-year-old, he murdered 26 people during a worship service on Sunday at the First Baptist Church in a little teeny town called Sutherland Springs here in Texas.
00:00:37.260
He graduated from New Braunfels High School in 2009.
00:00:44.420
He worked as a logistical readiness airman at Holloman Air Force Base in New Mexico.
00:00:50.440
He then married a woman named Tessa, had an infant stepson.
00:00:55.800
In 2012, he assaulted his wife and stepson, fracturing the boy's skull.
00:01:03.820
Now, according to the Air Force, the chief prosecutors, Kelly pled to intentionally fracturing the child's skull.
00:01:13.260
He was court-martialed for the assault and spent a year in military prison.
00:01:21.420
After his prison term, he was discharged from the Air Force for bad conduct.
00:01:28.000
In April 2014, he married Danielle Lee Shields.
00:01:36.000
While he was there, he was charged again, this time with a misdemeanor, animal cruelty.
00:01:44.220
In recent years, he lived with Danielle and their two-year-old son in a barn behind his parents' house
00:01:54.380
However, by 2017, he was estranged from Danielle.
00:01:59.940
In June, he was hired to work as an unarmed night security guard at a water park.
00:02:08.840
Danielle sometimes attended First Baptist Church in Sutherland Springs with her parents.
00:02:20.340
Yesterday, officials say they were investigating the threatening texts that Kelly had sent to his mother-in-law.
00:02:28.100
They haven't released any of the details yet, but it appears that the church shooting was somehow connected
00:02:33.320
to a domestic dispute and his hatred for Christians.
00:02:38.740
Several people who knew Kelly, the shooter from high school, unfriended him on Facebook.
00:02:46.600
They said that he had grown dark, and he had liked several atheist groups on his Facebook page.
00:02:53.140
One Facebook friend wrote that he was always talking about how people believe in God, and they were stupid,
00:03:00.940
One former friend posted on Facebook Sunday night.
00:03:08.140
Over the years, we all saw him change into something that he wasn't.
00:03:15.700
In all of the tragedies that I have covered in 40 years of broadcast,
00:03:19.400
I don't think I have ever read these words from someone who knew the killer.
00:03:26.020
To be completely honest, I'm not really surprised this happened.
00:04:01.020
I think you're different, and we look at things differently.
00:04:07.240
I want to give you just a recap of what we've experienced here in the last few weeks.
00:04:16.640
First, let me tell you that Rand Paul, his injuries are more severe than originally thought.
00:04:40.900
Apparently, he has three teeth that were knocked out.
00:04:45.000
This story has gone from he had the wind knocked out of him to something really serious.
00:05:04.980
And we know that his neighbor is now trying to make this about grass clippings.
00:05:15.380
The reason why he is trying to make this about grass clippings
00:05:26.220
And it, to me, looks like it was politically motivated.
00:05:33.180
Imagine if somebody who was listening to this program
00:05:35.680
or listened to Rush Limbaugh or Sean Hannity or any of us.
00:05:47.420
And they would be calling for us to be shut down.
00:05:51.380
Here's a guy who was a follower of Occupy Democrats.
00:05:57.180
And he said that Republicans are the most evil in the world today
00:06:50.640
I'm not going where you think I'm going, by the way.
00:07:24.320
before he could get away with what he was going to do.
00:21:17.980
so we have set up a fund um for this for this town these these amazing people i mean this this
00:21:30.200
town has really come together and is yet another example of the good people of texas and and how
00:21:39.220
good people are supposed to behave um all the way down from the the guy we have some amazing audio
00:21:46.480
from steven crowder who uh talked to the guy who came out of his house and an nra instructor i thought
00:21:54.500
the nra they were nothing but terrorists an nra instructor came out and uh and brought his gun
00:22:01.960
and he's the guy who um stopped the shooting the guy who got into the truck he didn't even know who
00:22:10.640
he was they got into a truck and they they pursued him while they were waiting for the police and
00:22:14.900
radioing the police and telling the police where to go it's quite a remarkable town um paul uh buffard
00:22:22.860
he is um the pastor of river oaks church which is i think kind of the sister church do i have that
00:22:29.500
right paul you're kind of the sister church of this this church well we're we're a neighbor church okay
00:22:36.520
pretty much um and it's buford um i'm sorry sorry that's okay we're two miles down the road uh we
00:22:44.300
just you know we're the family of god so we we work together uh jointly on a lot of things
00:22:49.620
our families are interconnected they people in my church have families that are in that church
00:22:56.160
uh some of the people that were in my church on sunday morning came to be with their family members
00:23:02.500
that morning instead of going to that church that uh two days ago so yes this is a very close very
00:23:10.340
uh small community we're only talking hundreds of people that are here so paul how is the community
00:23:18.060
um how's the community dealing with this i mean 10 percent of the population was involved
00:23:24.900
well you know well we're we're dealing with it through the strength of the lord in our through
00:23:33.040
our faith in in god and and we're dealing with it through the outpouring of love that we're seeing
00:23:38.820
from from the rest of our community from the state of texas and even from even from america i i sent a
00:23:46.280
picture this morning from a friend in in washington dc of the washington monument with the ring of uh
00:23:51.920
flags being flown at half mast uh excuse me ordered by president trump uh for the in honor of the victims
00:23:59.660
that are here so we know that america and even the world i'm getting i'm getting messages from all over
00:24:05.140
the world uh brazil and different places the united kingdom uh showing support and love and asking
00:24:12.920
if there's anything that they can do uh for us so that that's the only thing that can hold you up in
00:24:18.900
this time i was asked yesterday by one of the reporters if if it does it doesn't something like
00:24:24.460
this shake your feet or shake your uh faith and i'm like no no it strengthens my faith when we see
00:24:30.840
when we see everyone in the in the body of christ pull together uh and and love one another and and we
00:24:38.080
know in the strength of the lord that our friends uh that that we'll never see again here or in heaven
00:24:45.500
with their lord and savior we'll see them again there someday paul how do you um how do you explain to
00:24:56.120
to people that say you know if there is a god i mean these people were good people they were all in
00:25:01.880
the church praying and um you know if there is a god how could he let that happen well i try to use
00:25:11.020
the example uh well first off let let me say that we that we believe that we're and and truly believe
00:25:17.880
that we're made in the image of god and and in that we've been given attributes that are of god and
00:25:24.240
and i think one of the greatest attributes is is humans being made in the image of god that we've
00:25:29.560
been given is choice uh he may he gave us the ability to make and and and the uh means to make
00:25:37.080
choices and desires us to to look to him and and make good choices uh god always has choices in front
00:25:45.600
of him but he would never make a wrong choice so in saying that we we're here on this earth and we're
00:25:51.920
we do things and we live our lives that's what he put us here gave us dominion over this world uh to to
00:25:58.420
to subdue it and and overcome it and and then we do things that are against what he wants and we
00:26:06.400
want to blame him for it i mean that's i and i hate to use this kind of analogy but but i say
00:26:11.640
you know if you step if you step off the curb in front of a uh in front of a truck or something and
00:26:17.440
you get hit we can't blame god if someone bad does something we can't blame god we we blame
00:26:24.840
we we blame what's going on in that other person's heart uh they're they're turning away from god
00:26:31.940
to do evil instead of doing good how about how about how about blaming the gun there's a lot of
00:26:38.000
people in america that want to blame the gun well we you know we have so many things now that we're
00:26:43.440
going to blame i mean do we blame the rock that's used do we blame a hammer that you or a car
00:26:49.240
that's used or uh you know we we have so much blame that we want to in finger point we want to
00:26:56.100
find something we want to find something else other than ourselves to point to to to blame for
00:27:03.700
these tragedies this is the heart issues this is a spiritual battle that's going on here you know
00:27:10.120
and and evil is evil will not prevail evil did not prevail the other day glenn it it it didn't win
00:27:18.040
anything yesterday because the love now is overpowering anything that happened uh so no we
00:27:26.120
we don't blame the gun we don't blame we don't blame the instrument that is used uh in in in doing
00:27:33.780
these uh type of of things we we blame the hearts of man for for looking to themselves and looking to do
00:27:41.760
evil rather than looking to do good and looking to god are you um familiar uh with the uh holcomb family
00:27:50.740
do you know them yes i i knew them very well uh that's such a tragedy for this uh for this community
00:28:00.020
because they were such upstanding people here uh they were so loved i and i was telling someone
00:28:06.560
yesterday i said brian holcomb when i never saw anything but a smile and laughter come out of his
00:28:12.840

00:29:29.960
and and going to make that another victim the baby that she was carrying how can we help
00:29:36.660
well i think the the help that we need right now and and they said we'll really do prayers help
00:29:44.460
absolutely they do for us to know that that the the world and the united states and and the body of
00:29:51.880
christ is praying for us uh that means that means everything to us i mean i i i don't know where
00:29:59.460
we're getting the strength from to to just keep going well i do know but but i mean it's just we just
00:30:05.280

just a little bit but i just keep going and going and going so continue with the uh with the prayers
00:30:30.820
we have an outpouring of of financial um uh help uh being offered and and we're i mean to the point
00:30:38.700
where we have so many other things going on we're trying to establish how all of that can be done so
00:30:43.760
that people know that that money will get to the family and the church uh and and we're working on
00:30:49.500
that this week is so much concentrated on trying to help the families help the wounded we still have
00:30:55.520

00:31:08.580
multiple gunshot wounds and those families are still up there at those hospitals so it's important
00:31:15.480
for us to know that that uh that y'all are still playing for us and in this week we we're having
00:31:21.060
to deal with trying to make all the arrangements for the funerals trying to get uh any assistance that
00:31:26.100
the families need in the weeks to come that's when we're really going to need people you know

you know we were just talking to the pastor of the neighboring church here in texas that was
00:34:41.300
shot up and we told you about the um the holcomb family i just i just just imagine this
00:34:48.000
mom and dad guest preacher both of them dead their son killed their pregnant daughter-in-law
00:34:59.180
killed the baby killed four of their grandchildren killed this leaves now joe holcomb he's 86 years old
00:35:10.820
he now has to mourn for all of the whole family
00:35:19.820
he said quote we know where they are now all of our family members it won't be long before we're
00:35:31.940
i don't i don't i fail to understand the people who um want to take down christianity
00:35:46.420
anything that gives you anything that gives you that peace anything that gives you
00:35:57.000
the ability to not be lost in uh hatred and darkness but anything that says
00:36:11.280
you can lose your entire family i don't care if it's a lie i really don't
00:36:17.820
and i've had atheist friends who have said to me
00:36:21.200
you know glenn that's you know you're smarter than that how could you possibly believe in a
00:36:25.600
resurrected well i do i do but you know what it makes me a better man
00:36:30.320
it makes me happy it makes me peaceful it gives me hope
00:36:35.300
it helps me explain the world that i live in i don't really care
00:36:41.660
and if i wake up and i'm in a box and i'm like huh there's nothing here
00:36:47.580
i mean you know if i die and i never wake up okay well i won't know the difference
00:36:56.880
now i'm not saying this for people of faith i'm saying this for people
00:37:03.620
you should a give it a shot b if if you don't want to give it a shot
00:37:18.660
from finding something that gives them peace in their life
00:37:28.800
if it was a drug that made people react like that in a matter of tragedy to see things in that sort of perspective
00:37:38.460
right it's it's amazing that this doesn't come from a drug
00:37:41.660
it comes from real faith and and and something that you know seemingly a larger and larger portion of this country wants to stop
00:38:08.460
i mean you can't just join in and not really believe and not change your life
00:38:55.360
the past 24 hours have been difficult to keep up with
00:38:58.380
especially if you're here in america because nobody is paying attention to this
00:39:09.200
on monday saudi arabia called a missile attack by an iranian proxy an act of war by iran
00:39:15.760
literally just a few hours later the saudis accused lebanon of declaring war on the kingdom for supporting hezbollah
00:39:25.220
the saudi gulf affairs minister said lebanon would be quote dealt with as a government declaring war on saudi arabia end quote
00:39:33.600
this morning the saudi crown prince who basically is a de facto king accused iran of direct military aggression
00:39:42.680
the saudis have used the word war twice in 24 hours and now the most powerful man in the country publicly points the finger at iran
00:39:52.260
the arab and the persian cold war has been going on for a very long time but it is
00:39:58.900
very rare that it is this public and they never are this direct about it
00:40:05.920
well i'm going to try to break this down at five o'clock because there's a lot of pieces
00:40:11.320
uh to this but it boils down to this a fundamental transformation of the middle east is underway
00:40:17.840
saudi arabia and iran and even turkey are scrambling to see who will fill the power vacuum
00:40:24.220
vacuum left behind as isis retreats all three of them want a caliphate iran has clearly been winning
00:40:32.820
this they have armed militias dominating the countries of yemen lebanon syria and iraq they are on the verge of
00:40:40.760
near complete control this is the caliphate that they have been working towards the saudis are finding
00:40:47.220
themselves a little late to the party and they've apparently had enough the direct
00:40:52.140
confrontation between the saudis and iran will affect you it will have global consequences
00:40:59.600
i mean i hate to even mention this but there are so many people in america that will only pay
00:41:05.640
attention to this when their gasoline is five dollars a gallon and that could happen and it could happen
00:41:11.300
quickly but that is the least of our worries militaries from all over the world will get involved which will
00:41:20.400
increase the chance a mistake may happen between these two rivals president trump is in asia this week
00:41:27.940
i am praying that he is directing all of his attention to the middle east the state department
00:41:34.800
should be in overdrive working to cool this down because there are no winners in wars in the middle
00:41:43.720
east i don't know if anybody has caught that but there are no winners in the wars in the middle east
00:41:49.900
no one will win if this war goes forward but the war drums are beating loudly
00:41:57.200
it's tuesday november 7th you're listening to the glenn beck program
00:42:10.280
we have a guest that i don't know a few years ago i would imagine would had to have hated my guts
00:42:20.200
and then mason and may actually still i'm not i'm not really sure um but he is uh big on ted talks
00:42:29.540
you you may have seen this uh theo ej wilson he was uh he is known as lucifuri as in the poetry circles
00:42:38.860
he has won all kinds of uh poetry slams and he was uh a guy who really kind of became famous uh overnight
00:42:47.980
he said i took a cell phone out and i made myself famous uh talking about the things that he cared
00:42:54.980
about and uh he said he got up one morning and there were so many notifications on his phone he
00:43:01.000
thought he slept through uh you know some world tragedy and no it was that his video had become
00:43:09.480
viral and uh and people were listening to what he said so he said i made more and more videos and
00:43:16.420
they were more and more divisive but he had experiences at the height of black lives matter
00:43:21.560
and um he had a he's a survivor of police brutality himself he lost a childhood friend um that way and
00:43:30.300
so he uh he had plenty to say and then he realized wait a minute the internet can be really really good
00:43:40.820
but it also can just divide us and so he decided to go in and find the people that really kind of
00:43:48.200
wanted him dead uh and wanted to you know uh that just disagreed with everything that he believed in
00:43:56.620
and wanted to see can i find the humanity and he did this is an amazing story theo welcome to the
00:44:02.820
program how are you thank you very much glenn for having me on and i'm doing great good so tell me
00:44:08.780
about your experience theo um in what regards sir well i mean how how you started going down the uh
00:44:18.100
going down the road of trying to talk to people who everybody would pretty much say are despicable
00:44:26.680
well it was it was by accident max uh most most savingly i was getting trolled myself as you mentioned
00:44:34.360
and i i would like trace my trolls and they would have these shell accounts that had nothing behind
00:44:40.460
them and i said well two can play that game now around that time i have a friend who uh worked at
00:44:46.320
a marketing firm and he started telling me about target marketing algorithms how these target marketing
00:44:51.440
algorithms uh would give you more of what you clicked on and that it worked for not only products you buy
00:44:56.760
but also for the news that you consume and uh a little bit into this i it just little blips started
00:45:03.700
coming through to let me know that i was in my own bubble and that i said all right well if this is
00:45:09.480
the case let me see what's on the other side and i literally glenn when i when i tell you i didn't
00:45:15.780
think that it was anything when i was doing it i i i created the account i went down the rabbit hole
00:45:21.560
and it was just informing me i was engaging with folks at lucid 25 and then i shut the project down
00:45:28.320
thinking that it was inconsequential a year before ted talks uh hit me up and asked me to create
00:45:33.980
something that had relatively little to do with this originally so i'm as surprised as anybody else
00:45:39.040
man so what did you find going down the rabbit hole i found a lot of darkness bro if i could um
00:45:45.760
be be honest with you uh i am invested in the unity of humanity and the tragedy of racism is that we are
00:45:54.060
all human the tragedy of racism is that we have ascribed far too high of consequences for the
00:46:01.000
differences that we have and i also really crunched the numbers on this and found out that
00:46:06.660
black people as a whole in this country are just woefully outnumbered and that as much sway as we'd
00:46:13.240
like to think that we have there are forces that are literally beyond our control to the level
00:46:17.720
uh that i do not know if we can achieve dr king's dream with as many people triggered into racism
00:46:26.940
as i saw so it was actually a scarring experience as much as i would like to reach towards unity
00:46:32.180
i think that the seeds of divisiveness cannot be uprooted until they really poke their head out
00:46:38.660
and there's more coming man unfortunately i think that's what's really interesting about your approach
00:46:43.820
though and that you i think a lot of us feel that way that these divides are so wide that we're never
00:46:49.800
going to be able to connect with anyone or or even see the humanity on the other side and i thought what
00:46:55.060
was interesting is you really tried to investigate you gave it you gave it an actual you know college
00:47:00.720
try you actually tried to see things in their points of view that you could connect with or see was
00:47:06.900
that were real can you kind of describe what you saw there that kind of connected you a little bit to
00:47:13.020
that side yeah man um and i want to be very very clear because i had a human compassion
00:47:19.340
for the folks that were on that side didn't mean that i have sympathy and it has to be made clear
00:47:24.340
yeah yeah definitely yeah i get it yeah a basic human compassion is a spiritual device that lets you see
00:47:31.820
the cause and effect of how someone became who they are and that's what i found but a sympathizer for
00:47:37.460
the all right far from it what i well what i discovered is that human beings can be reinforced
00:47:42.140
into virtually any hateful position if there's enough for you echoing that was the danger of
00:47:46.840
the echo chamber because there's not enough uh data points coming in to give you some other food for
00:47:53.160
thought and if you are in the chat group if you are uh frequenting uh frequenting certain websites
00:47:58.640
youtube channels and if the internet itself is feeding you more of that and thereby giving you
00:48:04.140
people more of a of a like-minded perspective before you know it before you know it you will think that
00:48:10.920
this is the way that the world is and what i saw was that hmm had i been born on that side of the racial
00:48:18.820
divide i'm not sure if i would escape it and conversely i think that what's interesting is that
00:48:23.980
every member of the alt-right had they been born black would be a part of black lives matter
00:48:29.940
because of the way that they assimilated the data and that's what i thought was very interesting
00:48:34.720
so theo let me um let me talk to you about um something that we may strongly disagree with
00:48:41.560
um yes sir uh i did kind of the same thing when there was the shooting here in dallas
00:48:47.560
um i got together with the people who were were marching and the reason why is because our
00:48:55.240
reporters were there and all of a sudden everybody's race and everything didn't matter everybody was
00:49:02.260
hiding and protecting each other just the same and uh the people who uh were viewing the reporters as
00:49:11.520
you know stereotypical white people reporting and the stereotypical white reporter going look at the
00:49:17.340
black people that are angry in the streets all of a sudden that all disappeared and they started
00:49:22.260
talking as humans and so i brought them into the um into the studio and we spent several hours
00:49:29.140
together and i found a lot in common uh with the people that were marchers however i found that they
00:49:38.800
were not um in line per se with the organizers of black lives matter the the communists that want to you
00:49:50.320
know destroy america and have a separate state and and i'm not saying that all of them are like that by any
00:49:55.480
stretch of the imagination but the the ones that uh have put the manifestos out are not the same
00:50:04.560
as many of the people who follow them uh that have real issues that that nobody's listening to
00:50:13.560
yeah i i i i will say that the folks that i know who went to ferguson will say the same thing there are
00:50:21.720
the actual folks who began to protest because there was actually a systemic injustice in ferguson
00:50:29.240
that the department of justice found that there is actually systemic racism that the police were a
00:50:34.100
collections agency policing the population via tickets and that the police violence was a part of
00:50:39.340
that and then there is the uh takeover of that narrative that those in ferguson are very upset about
00:50:47.060
and um in terms of whether it's it's it's its roots are communism wanting to destroy america from
00:50:55.320
within i'm not sure about that narrative well i i would just say i i i just so i'm i'm not defending
00:51:02.300
a or or throwing out a a paper tiger here um a and i don't even remember now stew maybe you can help me
00:51:10.460
define it but it was a black lives matter uh manifesto that had been put out very early
00:51:16.840
when black lives matter first started from what you know self-appointed leadership so i i want to make
00:51:23.960
clear that i'm that's what i'm defining as the leadership so i i could be you might know
00:51:31.040
something different and i'm willing to explore that well let me just say that from my knowledge
00:51:36.740
black lives matter was started just as a hashtag man by uh three um uh queer black women from florida
00:51:43.600
and it was just like oh and it actually began around the trayvon case when george zimmerman got
00:51:49.680
exonerated and so there's black lives matter the organization and then there's black lives matter
00:51:54.340
the hashtag man yeah and i think that a lot of the far far right-wing media has whipped up some kind of
00:52:00.580
uh fever dream about black lives matter because when i actually talk to the people in it these ain't
00:52:05.740
terrorists they're basically nerds man they're like social justice warrior kids like like like seriously
00:52:10.420
no we've no we found the same thing i got a lot of heat from the right when i wrote a an article
00:52:16.680
in the new york times saying you know make sure you understand who black lives matter is because
00:52:22.820
there's there's this there's this radical side of it that you know hate all cops and you know death to
00:52:30.300
the pigs and everything else but that's not who i've met in black lives matter and because there's a lot
00:52:36.280
of people that just say there's injustice here and we need to talk about it yeah that's that's that's
00:52:43.700
what i'm saying and like for example i i saw like when bill o'reilly was still on they kept replaying
00:52:48.480
that marching uh chant pigs in a blanket fry like bacon i remember when they they kept replaying that
00:52:55.240
and i said well which is more deadly a slogan or a bullet because as far as you can tell me
00:53:01.500
no actual card carry member of black lives matter has laid anybody down they haven't killed anybody yet
00:53:09.940
like if you compare the body counts there's no comparison but so the fear you wouldn't you wouldn't
00:53:17.440
i mean you know you could say that about uh you know the uh you know people who would protest you
00:53:25.420
know who are neo-nazis here in america that say hey you know death to and and they haven't done and
00:53:32.300
you know their group hasn't done anything it's still not good to be saying those things or believing
00:53:37.780
those things well yeah and those chats right there i can see how that can trigger some folks into
00:53:44.960
believing that this is a a hate movement but here's what i think is beneath all of this man
00:53:51.040
when you look at the idea i don't know if you studied this something called historical trauma
00:53:57.040
it's the mechanism of environmental learning that you don't just learn language from your parents you
00:54:02.240
also learn paradigms and that there are wounds on both sides of the racial divide that distort our
00:54:09.540
lens on how we perceive the world yes and if you're not aware of that lens let's say that the pain lens
00:54:16.900
that black folks have involves victimization we have been victims slavery is not a victim narrative
00:54:22.480
it's an actual victim thing that happened right and jim crow is not that either and on the other side of
00:54:28.660
the racial divide uh the lens of guilt and emotional distortion that happens in the hearts of white
00:54:34.860
folks um because of the historical crimes when something is said and you don't realize that you
00:54:42.720
have that filter it can go through that lens and like all light distort and you will lose the true
00:54:49.240
shape of the problem if you're not aware that you have that lens and i believe that that emotional
00:54:54.220
that emotional trauma that's been passed down from generation to generation is distorting any
00:55:00.160
efforts to come together and the difference is is that on the white side i mean you have very very
00:55:06.520
powerful people there is no black answer to steve bannett there is no black answer to somebody like rob
00:55:11.740
mercer there is nobody who has the power that uh donald trump has so we're dealing with this and
00:55:19.560
the fact that we're numerical minorities okay can we can we have the right to be afraid i i need to i
00:55:26.200
need to take a break can you stay with us for a minute i definitely can okay i plan to stay with

00:57:47.640
and not simply the ideas that we project onto them or react to.
00:57:53.920
but the gateways to the very things that we want.
00:57:59.800
My journey began with a very popular cell phone video
00:58:18.740
because I think we've found some areas of agreement,
00:58:25.040
but I'd like to see if we can find a path to each other
00:58:30.580
to be able to really have meaningful conversations in the future
00:58:38.540
I know you're smart enough to look at the world.
00:58:46.840
So if you will hang on for another three minutes,
00:58:49.460
we'll come back and see if we can find more roads towards each other.
00:58:58.540
I think he's the first time we've ever had a slam poet on.
00:59:03.160
I'm not even comfortable with you saying that term.
00:59:08.240
because I don't really know what a slam poet is,
00:59:41.660
this is the glenn beck program talking to theo ej wilson uh he did a ted talk called a black man
00:59:56.560
goes undercover in the alt-right it's really interesting and he's with us now theo let me um
01:00:02.680
let me say something that i think is risky for me to say um to my own audience um because it's it's kind
01:00:12.500
of a heavy idea um and requires some some real um you know a lot of talk around it but i think you'll
01:00:23.100
get it quickly um i have a in viewing the the history of america and in viewing where we are now
01:00:35.560
i believe that uh abraham lincoln uh and the civil war the blood that was lost especially if you read
01:00:45.040
his his um uh you know many of his words uh where he's talking about the if all the treasure
01:00:53.680
and needs to be piled up and every drop of blood needs to be paid uh with a life then that's what
01:01:00.920
we have to do um and i believe that we started to atone for um the spiritual wounds on both sides
01:01:11.600
black and white uh for slavery uh for slavery but then we we never really we never sealed that deal
01:01:20.060
uh spiritually we never then had a good conversation about it and forgave each other uh on everything or
01:01:29.180
you know ask whites didn't ask for the the forgiveness of slavery as a nation um then we went
01:01:36.460
right into reconstruction uh you know jim crow we had you know everything all the way to the civil uh
01:01:43.640
civil rights movement um which i don't think we as a nation uh atoned for or or or got together
01:01:52.800
with uh martin luther king we started down that road and just like abraham lincoln he was shot and i think
01:02:00.660
a lot of people uh at that point went okay it's better we're not like that let's move on but we've
01:02:09.120
never had the come together conversation and say okay this is what we did wrong this is where it fell
01:02:18.040
apart this is what we did as a nation and and many white people are afraid of that um because
01:02:26.580
of people that appear to be either a shakedown artist you know you want something in return uh or uh um
01:02:40.320
or or or have a different agenda how do we get to a place to where we can have honest conversations
01:02:48.640
real healing um deep spiritual conversations and and and come together without an agenda other than
01:03:01.020
we just want to come together and be decent human beings to each other gotcha i think that's a
01:03:07.520
profound question glenn uh governor george wallace before he became who he was in the eyes of history
01:03:14.740
uh worked as an organizer trying to unite blacks and whites who were poor and had more in common
01:03:21.000
with each other than they did with the ruling class similar to bacon's rebellion right wait what
01:03:26.520
george wallace did this long time ago early early early early on early early on yes he did okay and
01:03:34.140
what happened was and what happened was this the whites did not want to come together with the blacks who
01:03:42.260
were open to it because of the fear of commingling and that once you live with each other
01:03:48.100
you get to talking to each other and once you get to talking to each other you might find each other
01:03:52.240
attractive and on the very end of that um comes you know what comes naturally to human beings yeah
01:03:58.560
and and that i think that the fear of genetic annihilation is beneath all of the reasons why at least the white
01:04:08.260
side won't talk black folks hang on just a second i think you're right if you're talking about the
01:04:14.060
extreme right and the alt-right because that that i mean they're chanting that kind of stuff you know
01:04:19.300
jews are going to become us and whatever but i don't think the average white person is where you know
01:04:26.920
we're not worried about commingling i mean that's just i just don't think that's happening
01:04:31.300
in the in the bulk of the population yeah okay when i mean you know also keep in mind when you know
01:04:38.900
this uh this statement was made and what i think that what we've seen is that we have to ask ourselves
01:04:46.920
this question it was asked in the mahabarata indian spiritual text and i think that it's profound
01:04:52.040
when is peace not peace and arjuna answered when it is tyranny when it is tyranny and that there has
01:05:01.900
been a silent tyranny of the white majorities suffered by the minorities of this country that
01:05:08.440
they have not had the uh reason to even feel why would you feel it this everybody born is trying to
01:05:17.340
make it white black brown arab you name it and so if you're focused on the things that are just
01:05:24.180
you know in your daily life why why what what would give you the latitude to even entertain the pains
01:05:30.280
of black and brown people and so what we're dealing with is these constant messengers being sent from our
01:05:37.620
midst from medra evers to dr king himself and in his latter years even malcolm x and you begin to see that
01:05:45.560
there has been this call to come together and that has been consistently answered with death
01:05:51.980
and so we are traumatized by that and and what what i'm seeing in the the backlash of these police
01:06:01.800
shootings is the reopening of a wound in the black community that will not be silenced by this new
01:06:07.600
generation we don't understand this was so scared me the most yeah you know go ahead go ahead yeah this
01:06:14.620
this this was the thing that opened my eyes the most and seared my soul the deepest about the alt-right
01:06:20.460
when i was undercover how did after a civil rights movement that you mentioned how did after you know
01:06:28.460
having michael jordan on everybody's wall and you know cosby before this craziness happened being america's
01:06:34.420
dad and you know how did this reemerge when we were in jim crow it was logical to assume that if you
01:06:43.420
didn't see your uncles hanging black folks if you didn't see your daddy lynching black folks and you
01:06:47.160
wouldn't have that mentality and it baffles me how it came back how did it return after and a black
01:06:53.940
president right you know what i mean and you know he was an imperfect man i ain't i ain't here to defend
01:06:58.280
everything obama did i have issues with obama but with all of these representations how did it be
01:07:04.220
resurged and that to me is probably the most damning thing about what i've seen despite the urges to come
01:07:10.900
together okay so um we are gonna we're gonna can we continue a conversation and and and agree to
01:07:18.680
just let's just put the cards out on the table and and and i can write a permission slip for every
01:07:24.980
question i just know i i just i i i really would like to have this conversation but i don't want it
01:07:33.700
to get nasty you know what i mean um i won't i won't i won't get nasty i'm i'm gonna stay here
01:07:39.720
and i'm okay just you know because i think we're having i i'm i'm understanding you and and i hope
01:07:46.580
you're understanding me and i think we're on the right track here um i think that there were um the the
01:07:55.040
i think the average american the average white american um at least my age and below i can't
01:08:08.480
speak for those who lived through the 1960s and remember dr king and everything else i grew up in
01:08:15.540
seattle and i know that regionally it's very different um you know people who grew up in the
01:08:21.320
south or much different than you know those who you know grew up in the pacific northwest um but
01:08:26.920
uh the americans that i hang out with and i know that racism exists i've seen it um they don't have
01:08:38.080
the same kind of thoughts that um you know america had in the 1960s we many of us were just kind of past it
01:08:47.180
and um we felt as though when um the left uh started um under obama we felt as though uh okay
01:09:01.800
now you're going to pay and uh and now you're going to pay yeah it felt it felt like um
01:09:11.560
it felt like there was and i'm not necessarily saying this with president obama but with uh
01:09:18.420
with people that somehow or another um if you were white or if you were um uh conservative
01:09:29.220
all of a sudden the tables were flipped and we'll show you what it's like and oh wow and that's the
01:09:37.820
way i think some people felt right or wrong i think that's the way some people felt and it was like
01:09:43.920
wait i but i i don't i don't have a problem i don't have a problem um and they felt like well yes
01:09:52.180
and we're being told this all the time yes you're white so you automatically are racist well no wait i'm
01:09:59.380
human so yes i have a propensity uh of racism etc etc but so does everybody else let's talk about
01:10:08.800
racism as a human disease not a white disease i felt like we were being pulled back into it's a
01:10:17.640
white or a black thing it's not it's a human thing i definitely understand where you're coming from on
01:10:24.420
that because um in certain instances if you looked at the optics why wouldn't you feel that way
01:10:29.760
but i can tell you from the black community's perspective that scarcely have we ever more
01:10:35.420
believed in in america and unity than when the election of barack obama took place i'm going to
01:10:42.400
tell you right now that when you talk about who was most ready for post-racial america it was black folks
01:10:48.540
we were more than ready we we the urge for revenge the urge for any kind of retribution
01:10:56.760
was its lowest when he got elected in our community this is what i'm talking about this is this this is
01:11:05.160
this is great and i would say um in the at least in my at least in my friend circle i can't speak for
01:11:12.240
america um in my friend circle uh while i was agree i disagree with all of his policies i'm in a
01:11:18.060
conservative constitutionalist so i disagreed with all of his policies um uh but i remember going on
01:11:26.220
the air saying you know the day of the election this is a great day for america we have buried the
01:11:34.140
past we have a chance now to say it's over and i just feel like we failed colossally on both sides
01:11:42.840
well let's well let's if i could do a chronology of what got black folks's ire up
01:11:50.440
number one it was the way that the tea party treated him when we saw pictures from the tea
01:11:55.960
party rallies that had him painted as a monkey when we had him uh when people were making pictures of
01:12:02.500
him in blackface um we were taken aback by that okay can i wait wait wait wait before you go on
01:12:10.040
i anything that i was involved in i never saw that and i would have called that out and i think
01:12:18.920
most of the tea party at least the ones that i was involved in we would have called that out in a
01:12:25.880
second it's similar to the point i think you were making earlier uh theo about how people sometimes
01:12:31.080
see black lives matter where they'll see the worst actors among a certain group you're chanting you
01:12:36.380
know death to the pigs and we're like what right and i it's and you know i think part of what you
01:12:41.180
talked about in in your ted talk kind of talk it talks about that in a in a broad sense and that
01:12:46.740
like if you if you identify your enemies by their the worst among them um and you identify yourself
01:12:52.840
uh only by your that's the lady yeah yeah we're in trouble it's really it's it's tough to ever get
01:12:58.680
past anything so what was the second you said and the second thing was the second thing was
01:13:04.920
trayvon without question um when when when we said because here here was the hope in a black president
01:13:13.860
the hope in a black president was the hope that all black people have had since we were emancipated
01:13:20.420
than before that we would have some kind of equal protection under the law yes and that all we want
01:13:28.100
is for justice to be done and done institutionally so that we can relax and the way that we saw
01:13:36.560
zimmerman behave afterward we knew that this guy was a madman the way that we saw white america rally
01:13:42.800
around him and used the worst parts of trayvon to justify the killing as if george bush himself
01:13:50.280
wasn't a wayward you you know what i mean yeah yeah yeah we then then it was like it's figured enough
01:13:57.200
this if you can imagine like i just want to flip the script really quickly because if like if if you
01:14:07.060
were outnumbered seven to one by black people in a nation where you were historically enslaved
01:14:12.420
if you had memos issued from the fbi that let's say flip it because the fbi memo said that there
01:14:20.520
was no i know mass infiltration of white folks uh who were racist into the police forces so if you
01:14:26.700
were outnumbered seven to one had seen that black lives matter was infiltrating police forces all
01:14:33.720
across the country would you feel safe and then on top of that see that there was the same uh echoes of
01:14:40.980
in it till your version of it right so all that happened we you would be up in arms feel i think
01:14:47.980
that i i hate to cut i'm so sorry i'm up against a network break ken would you come on with us uh again
01:14:55.080
and continue this conversation we could pick it up from there i would love to continue this conversation
01:14:59.580
with you no problem uh we'll schedule time and make it happen okay lea theo thank you so much
01:15:05.800
theo ej wilson uh from ted plot talks uh black man goes undercover in the alt-right number of americans
01:15:13.020

01:16:39.320
conversation uh with him but uh it's a it was a challenging conversation um because it's out of your
01:16:46.200
comfort zone and uh you know i i believe that at least once a week you have to get out of your comfort
01:16:53.840
zone if we're going to solve this we have to be uncomfortable with some of the conversations
01:16:59.740
that we're having or we're never going to grow out of this
01:17:06.180
love courage truth glenn back finally some sleep
01:17:25.460
stephen hadn't had much of it in the last few days he was just about to doze off and his
01:17:31.920
daughter frantically ran into his room she said dad dad gunshots
01:17:36.980
he got up and calmly walked to his safe and pulled out his rifle
01:17:42.600
he counted the shots he heard as he loaded his gun time was slipping away
01:17:48.360
his daughter had told him that they were coming from the nearby church he knew
01:17:55.400
the people that went to that church and as he was counting those gunshots
01:18:00.120
he knew each one of those shots represented somebody that was either hurt or dead
01:18:06.200
stephen quickly without even putting his shoes on
01:18:11.100
ran out the front and confronted the man with a black tactical gear
01:18:31.560
he rushed for cover behind a pickup truck lifted his rifle and pulled the trigger
01:18:36.660
he hit him shot didn't kill the attacker far from it
01:18:42.500
the gunfire suddenly turned into a high-speed chase
01:18:46.880
stephen thought to himself is this even real life
01:18:58.120
he was afraid what they were going to find in that church
01:19:08.480
they were chasing this maniac down the highway 95 miles an hour weaving in and out of traffic
01:19:14.280
the whole time the police were on the phone with steven
01:19:24.860
today steven is being hailed and applauded as a hero
01:19:32.440
he is the same kind of guy of everybody i think a hero is he says exactly the same thing i'm no i'm not a hero
01:19:43.840
i think my god my lord protected me and gave me the skills to do what i needed to do when it needed to be done
01:19:58.500
somebody shared a quote with me from some highfalutin greek
01:20:13.160
man doesn't rise to the level of his expectations
01:20:16.360
he rises to the level of his knowledge and training
01:20:27.300
and he was in the right place at the right time
01:20:55.680
the group everybody says is the worst in the world
01:21:01.720
the biggest mass church shooting in american history
01:21:17.480
when you're going to be called to do something great
01:38:09.200
you're listening to the glenn beck program welcome to the program uh mr uh pat gray yes
01:38:34.320
that's it you got it hello pat how are you uh i'm good you uh well you don't really care you're just
01:38:40.200
asking true i'm just making small talk just making small talk and uh i don't care yeah at all thank
01:38:45.800
you at all you you you he said it again you just your only your only observation if i may your only
01:38:53.600
observation on the ran paul thing is he mowed his own lawn yes i don't i don't care about the ribs
01:38:59.820
i don't care about the neighbor i care about the fact that ran paul a u.s editor mowed his own lawn
01:39:05.160
yeah i think that's pretty cool or something's wrong there i don't know something's a little bit
01:39:10.400
off yeah there you go there now we're getting to the truth because i said i actually liked that i
01:39:15.740
thought that was really cool and you said i did too but it doesn't make any sense it just doesn't
01:39:20.440
add up why u.s senators don't mow their own lawn it just doesn't happen why not it doesn't happen
01:39:25.520
and eye doctors don't mow their own lawn you both so come on now come on why maybe maybe he
01:39:35.380
likes to mow his own lawn it's something it's not possible it might be something that he enjoys
01:39:41.340
have you have you guys uh attempted to talk to him is he going to talk to anybody about this no he's
01:39:45.580
not uh not doing any i guess he's like really in bad shape right now they they said he's in a lot
01:39:50.080
of pain yeah they said potential broken jaw has been reported i don't know if that's actually
01:39:54.380
broken jaw too that would be a big deal if that's three teeth knocked out oh my gosh so this was
01:39:59.580
more than being tackled we were just talking about this pat it's it's gone from he had the wind knocks
01:40:05.620
out of him wow to yesterday five ribs now it's five ribs three displaced fractures possibly a broken
01:40:13.400
jaw and three teeth knocked out good heavens what happened something something that's really weird
01:40:20.960
yeah this is not i mean that's a brutal attack that's an assault that the guy should be that's
01:40:26.260
like felony style right didn't they charge him with a misdemeanor fourth degree fourth degree assault
01:40:31.580
what do you have to do in kentucky to be first degree people in kentucky are just tough apparently
01:40:37.300
like yeah wow there there is a possibility that they were fighting over who really owns the still
01:40:45.280
in the backyard well it is kentucky it is kentucky i don't know yeah i mean the hatfields and mccoys
01:40:51.000
they were from kentucky were they not i don't know i don't i don't really know either is he pissed
01:40:57.720
about the gop tax bill i don't set him off i think that is it i mean he's a hardcore leftist yeah that's
01:41:03.500
what i've heard and and you and the the idea that now it's all about grass clippings seems to be this
01:41:08.960
guy's attempt to avoid federal crime which because if it's about politics it's a federal crime
01:41:13.120
so you can't just assault a senator say it was grass clippings that was that's the rumor it's
01:41:18.720
been a long yes a long standing feud about what he does don't beat the hell out of somebody over
01:41:23.860
grass clippings i don't believe that now let me ask you this come on how would you think about the
01:41:27.960
morals and ethics of planting bamboo on on a property i don't know where you got this story
01:41:34.260
i'm not i don't know this story i'm not talking about glenn why why are you being defensive i'm
01:41:39.280
talking i don't know where he's getting general moral and ethics question if you have a dispute
01:41:43.620
with a with a neighbor and they don't like uh the the way that you're doing things with your let's
01:41:49.120
say your dead trees in your backyard okay and uh and they they make a comment to you hey you know
01:41:55.000
what we would like to have nature take its course so then maybe you would then plant some bamboo that
01:42:00.060
spreads really don't know anybody who did that let nature take its course i don't know anybody who did
01:42:05.060
that how would you feel about the morals and ethics of that i don't know anybody petty to me that seems
01:42:09.300
yeah what it would be nature taking its course i'm just playing devil's advocate yes i know i can tell
01:42:14.480
it's just really letting nature take its course did nature plant the bamboo or uh how did that work
01:42:21.440
could have i don't know is it indigenous to connecticut it is in that area now is it
01:42:32.320
oh you know that's the bad thing about bamboo once it starts to grow it just doesn't ever stop
01:42:41.620
and you expect that in thailand but i don't know if you expect that in ukraine connecticut
01:42:47.880
and where'd these panda bears come from what's going on here
01:42:53.700
oh wow the other thing i uh i noticed last night on the tv show that you talked a lot about the thoughts
01:43:01.880
and prayers mocking yes um i i think this is the fulfillment of one of the things you said that
01:43:07.080
they're just going to they're just going to lay themselves bare yes and they're just going to come
01:43:11.020
out and say it and that's what they're doing now they're just openly hostile to people of faith
01:43:14.920
now and and i found it kind of interesting the you know the number of people and the kind of people
01:43:21.460
that are doing this of course there's news people uh but you've also got the working families party
01:43:26.360
so communists obviously communists are going to be uh usually atheists uh you've got keith
01:43:32.960
olberman who's a socialist chelsea handler who's just despicable uh will wheaton from star trek
01:43:40.760
i always hated him i wanted him sucked out of an airlock star trek i wanted him he was obnoxious
01:43:46.980
he should have been sucked out instead he transformed into a higher being that certainly
01:43:51.240
didn't happen to him in real life what a miserable piece of crap he's turned out to be yeah i mean
01:43:56.720
that was love of course for all pieces of crap he apologized did he say sorry he did oh good he did
01:44:01.800
okay well that's i mean sort of he apologized he's like i'm not talking about people with real faith
01:44:06.580
i'm talking about paul ryan which essentially is apology oh okay which is i mean still pretty weak
01:44:11.620
but you know the hollywood mocking i i love uh and some people have noticed that they were
01:44:17.200
taking time out of their busy schedule raping each other uh to mock and lecture us uh on god which i
01:44:26.260
i appreciate that a great deal it means a lot coming from them doesn't it though uh doesn't it really
01:44:31.540
does well i think they have a good point they said no thoughts or prayers you keep your thoughts and
01:44:36.420
prayers never i'm not thinking at all right now right well that's a that's a trend that they've been
01:44:41.100
pointing out for a long time so no thoughts no prayers no prayers and quite honestly i agree
01:44:47.140
with them uh that's why i just did a hashtag i just did a hashtag that's the most important thing
01:44:53.120
you can possibly save our hashtag save our children or me neither yeah yeah like the me too thing i
01:44:59.140
think the hashtag worked if you were to pray for the victims or think about the victims of sexual
01:45:04.540
assault or get involved in some sort of a charity no you don't want to do for the victims you don't
01:45:10.440
want to do that you don't want to hashtag it you want to hashtag me too but my hashtag turned out
01:45:14.760
to be me neither i i was encouraging the me neither uh hashtag oh really yeah i guess nothing's ever
01:45:20.700
yeah no one's ever been interested no no yeah that's right i i joined him on that one really
01:45:26.120
it's just pat and i but we're like no nobody's ever really no he's ever tried
01:45:31.900
my wife doesn't even try i've never i've you know i've never even misread it i mean it's like no
01:45:39.960
they're very clear no not interested i got sort of confused because i was also on the me neither
01:45:45.180
bandwagon because then i was hashtag me neither and hashtag me too because i was me too because i
01:45:49.440
was in me neither yeah so i me too was in me neither and it got very confusing to the hashtag audience
01:45:54.380
uh basically but at least you hashtag that's the important thing and and it's the hashtag that
01:46:00.560
counts and someday they because of our efforts they may return our children which are not our
01:46:07.800
children that's right right but they're other people's children exactly that have probably been
01:46:12.060
slaughtered well as soon as but but they find out when they find out there's a hashtag oh they're
01:46:16.620
gonna i'm pretty sure they will yeah they're gonna they're gonna return them boko haram was like look
01:46:20.500
we we were gonna take these kids and then we realized you guys were hashtagging us and gave
01:46:25.240
them back that was too much no thank you we don't want any of that there's a movie to be made there
01:46:29.840
there really is your thoughts and prayers but not that not that no thank you pat pat gray unleashed
01:46:38.180
coming up on the blaze radio tv network you can also get the podcast every day as well as the
01:46:41.980
podcast for this program at itunes stitcher soundcloud glennbeck.com many different places for
01:46:48.100
you to find it can i ask you we have nbc on here uh and they're just doing uh you know fireman uh
01:46:54.200
you know beefcake uh calendars fireman beefcake calendars yeah so uh they're fire firemen without
01:47:03.680
their shirts on their shirts they seem to be in pretty good shape yeah and uh that's me five pounds
01:47:08.960
my fat just goes between all of those like lines in their chest the line you don't even know what
01:47:15.980
they are they're abs you don't even know whatever they are whatever they are mine aren't defined
01:47:21.220
because i have just a line of fat just right it's a very thin one that just gets rid of all definition
01:47:26.240
all and also expands into a much larger space that i think is i think i was stung by a bee but i'm not
01:47:33.300
sure i'm not sure anyway i was the reason why i wanted to bring this up is in today's world
01:47:39.020
imagine doing that on national television with women in lingerie and they're just holding puppies and
01:47:48.040
and uh you know and and all the guys would be standing around going
01:47:52.420
i'm interested in the puppy oh yeah i tell it's oh you only the only person who can do that of course
01:48:00.140
is ellen degeneres who is it yes who is attracted to women but cannot ogle them as much as she wants
01:48:05.580
right apparently ogling and making just an object out of men totally fine women no no no no no don't
01:48:16.220
even no you can't even notice you can't don't you noticed my dress you know you said you i look nice
01:48:22.880
how dare you next i know the next thing you know you're gonna be trying to hold the door open for me
01:48:27.380
i mean this is you know why our kids are struggling because nothing makes sense how
01:48:36.680
you think your head hurts you at least remember a time when things were consistent nothing in their
01:48:46.200
life is consistent how are they how are they expected to navigate this world and to be happy
01:48:53.720
in this world when there is no solid navigational compass points
01:48:59.680
i want to talk to you about gold um i've talked about gold for a very long time
01:49:16.340
uh and i uh that's what i said to one of the guys who you know i call from time to time and uh
01:49:24.800
glenn when are you gonna when are you gonna say that everything's okay i said when i see the starfield
01:49:30.300
rolling back my way when i start to see the world starting to make sense moving away from global war
01:49:36.780
uh printing bogus fiat money uh stopping the spending spree that they're on
01:49:44.400
uh and when terrorism you know starts to uh die down when i start to see that stuff okay
01:49:52.420
but right now it's not going that direction in fact the world is starting to spin faster now towards
01:50:00.540
chaos tonight at uh five o'clock we're gonna spend some time on saudi arabia and iran i know it's not a
01:50:07.300
sexy thing maybe i'll get maybe we should get some firemen with their shirts off well you you i mean you
01:50:12.720
were just saying you had really good definition underneath the fat maybe you could just just
01:50:17.140
do the monologue without your shirt on i don't think i want to do that to the
01:50:21.360
sign up at the blaze.com tv see if he does it or see if i don't uh it might be worth more if i don't
01:50:29.960
i'm gonna promise you i won't and anyway um uh gold line uh is a place that i have talked to you
01:50:39.100
about for a very long time and i buy gold as a as an insurance policy against financial calamity um
01:50:46.940
i think and i'm you know i'm sorry but i think that the world is going over a cliff and it's getting
01:50:54.760
faster and faster and faster and if you don't see it you probably never will see it but for those of
01:51:02.780
you who do and you haven't called gold line just watch the show tonight at five o'clock let me
01:51:08.980
explain the middle east nobody is talking about this saudi arabia and iran are about to go to war
01:51:14.380
i don't think that's going to help call gold line now they're offering free gift cards and qualified
01:51:20.960

01:52:21.600
get information from them and figure out who was gonna who was gonna reveal information about him
01:52:27.660
really is an incredible story basically he found out that these big stories about him and sexually
01:52:33.840
assaulting all these women were going to come out in places like the new york times and others
01:52:37.740
and so what he did was hire these high level security firms of former intelligence agents
01:52:44.800
that did all sorts of stuff some of the stuff you'd expect maybe uh they were looking for dirt
01:52:50.720
on the people uh that were accusing him uh they were he was looking for you know who were they
01:52:56.520
with what did they do uh on social media what did what essentially what information could they get to
01:53:02.260
use against them and with a dirtbag like harvey weinstein you'd kind of expect that but he went
01:53:07.120
way beyond that spent hundreds and hundreds of thousands of dollars hiring these intelligence
01:53:11.800
agents to pose as different people from um agencies like there was there was one woman
01:53:18.280
who was a former uh intelligence agent who posed as someone from a like a venture capital firm in the
01:53:25.820
uk they created a fake website for the venture capital firm and then this woman went up and
01:53:32.460
approached rose mcgowan one of uh harvey weinstein's accusers the one who said she was raped she was raped
01:53:38.800
met with her several times and posed as someone who wanted to do something about sexual assault there's too
01:53:46.060
much of this stuff going on we need to um you know we need to stop this tell me your story like
01:53:51.940
who have you talked to about this trying to get her to violate the terms of the agreement
01:53:57.160
and to find out if she had violated it with anybody else right uh then went to uh people other
01:54:04.060
journalists and posed as journalists and said look i've got this dirt on harvey weinstein i hear you're
01:54:08.880
working on this same story who else have you talked to and tried to get the information that way
01:54:12.700
then they use that information to go and target others to try to find uh weak points in their lives
01:54:19.980
uh to try to push back against them uh an incredible one actress said i got a call from a journalist it
01:54:28.340
turns out that they were working for this black cube this is a that's the massad agents um it scared me
01:54:35.240
i hung up uh and ended the call because it was suspicious uh it scared me because i knew what it
01:54:41.900
meant to be threatened by harvey i was a in fear of him finding me that's really this guy is so this
01:54:50.720
is ronan farrow's reporting again he went back and showed the pictures of this woman to several of
01:54:55.260
the people who he suspected uh they had contacted they all knew who she was and identified her from
01:55:00.980
different organizations oh that's the woman from the venture capital company oh that's the woman who's
01:55:04.940
the journalist like they all they all knew who she was and she was the same person going back and
01:55:09.020
getting information from all these people individually i mean this guy spent a fortune
01:55:13.460
to keep this story away from you and he succeeded for over a year i mean he actually was able to kill
01:55:21.060
this thing for about a year using these uh these different methods eventually obviously it did not
01:55:27.140
work out for him good by the way did i mention he's a big hillary clinton supporter i don't know if
01:55:32.720
