coming to the pod cast its Wednesday? It is because this always downhill from here so I mean around Here- is always down far as the week, where almost almost today's Wednesday, great podcast yeah, we talk a lot about. We have growth rates, innocent ship, tough, which, like that and getting better it's interesting, has been talked about as a political issue, but is the biggest hope enough, maybe unintentionally, an interesting discussion on the bright as to what the constitution actual pulse. There's people on the right who believe both things, whether it is both right and it is part of the constitution where you stand on this is I mean only. I need to know more information you can get into the debate here yet, but I would say I don't have my mind made up yet it's not something. I've studied a lot in the past is an interesting debate. That book I mean both sides are our have complete compelling arguments. The other part of it, I think is interesting is that the left is just to whatever they need that yeah right, like these data, in fact, in the nineties, they were all Caesar Chavez was be own immigrants up at the border and he's a hero. These here all leads amazing. Ok, so we're gonna talk a little bit about that. We have some. How will we stop? We also have a talk about tariffs that bad stuff- that's happening. Tariffs, don't forget. Also we go on tour. He s gone to her tomorrow, we're gonna be enrichment, then we're gonna be in her. She Pennsylvania on Friday, rage and Saturday in Crisper, Pittsburgh and Sunday in Cleveland, adult Miss and every we also talk to the director of a document are about forty bulging just really interesting. He died yesterday in prison after being murdered on the former mobster. Go into that story, though, that what is real interest ass? Well, so if you want to get tickets, go to glimpse outcomes, slashed tour, you want to hear the pot cast your already here. Peered is listening to its wind turbine thirty. First back, it's all hollows Eve its upon us now.
Is a terror more frightening, then
anything that has ever been unleashed on our streets just lurking terrain?
the corner,
if I were to tell you that thirty
One per cent of the population has been infected with this terror. Overhead
hundred million Americans are out to get you.
Will you ever know which one you can trust?
to tell you can't trust any of them.
One hundred million for crying.
Loud one hundred million they're coming to get you?
Who will shed light on this
Who is it that will will open our
fingers, because we're too afraid to look at the monster were too were too
Afraid to look at
on students in and identify it well.
Don lemon? Is that man? So we
You have to stop demonizing people and realise the biggest terror threat in this country is why
and most of them, radicalized brought out to the right and we have
start doing something about them. There is no travel ban on them like us. There is no ban on you know they had the muslim ban. There is no white guy ban. So what do we do about that? We need a white man. Ban, ok,
wait! We win, we need a ban on white men. I love this.
Just play this again: we
stop demonizing
recognize its not period.
We have sub demonizing its. We have
Bob demonizing and recognise, listen to the beginning of this again, so we
to stop demonizing people and realise the biggest terror threat in this country.
Is white, men took chosen at random most of em, why most of them on the right to
I don't know if you ve noticed this but white manner, literally everywhere
And there's no travel ban. There's no, I mean please,
is if you haven't left the house yet have you checked
your children, especially if you have a white male in the house, have you checked,
your children,
People who are friends with white people, can you please call the white wife and make sure
or she hasn't been knives.
By her. Her white husband.
They're. All radicals. The biggest terror threat is white men.
We should cancel Halloween. I dont know how we can even do this. We're gonna have we're just are we gonna? Have people just roaming the streets? Have you seen the latest halloween? Have you seen it Jason
A white man just
walking the streets going up in digging dong, drinker trade. He goes in the back door, he's a white man. He just kills people. I knows really confusing because, as you know, the so many white men men are terrorists. The leading terrorist threat, but it's actually Michael Myers and hollowing owes reasons frighted another white. Another white man, though see I mean, imagine
imagine. If all the white men
Skies is middle aged accountants that have
live their life and never bothered anybody.
Just gonna! Let your little kids go to that housing. It can be weird
road map Don Lemon God bless. Him has gone nuts
he has it there's a few people that have really truly lost it.
And they're, not even listening to themselves anymore,
This amazing.
First, what one of most contradictory things I've ever heard. Let me quote again, so we
have to stop demonizing people and realise the biggest terror threat in this country? Is white men don your demonizing white men here
it from zero. Stop demonizing! Basically, dopey races to one hundred white men are scary. We need a white man ban, so
demonizing racist thing, I've heard
Can I ask you: what is the definition of racism? So what is the definition? Isn't it? Isn't it saying
All people are have this trade if their power
of this race yeah.
Discrimination and antagonism prejudice directed against some one of a different race, based on the belief that one's own racist superior
that all members of each race possess characteristics or ability specific to that race, especially as to distinguish it as inferior or superior to another. Okay, so that would be a white men are the problem, a guy
I've never said that about Islam.
All of the people who were Muslim are the problem.
Would be wrong to say that white men are the problem
were also eager to assign blame.
How many of us were rapidly refreshing social media, hoping
like hell, but the
oh pipe bomber was
someone from the left. Why? Why.
Everyone on the left was doing the same thing, except in reverse, we're doing
It because we want someone to point two and say get em. We
What somebody to blame see it's them, we're
addressing the actual issues here. Why
eight men are the problem, really
I know I am so sick and tired of hearing what we did in the eighteen. Hundreds do you know the trail of tears. Yes, I know the trail of tears. It was awful, you know who did it
democratic. President Jackson Ages,
pick up all human being here?
look our founding principles and turned them upside down.
That's not an american thing to do.
All you talk about? Will I got it?
I got it. How about we talk
The Japanese and
seven, thirty, one
worse
worse
Then the Nazis,
that saying something
worse than the Nazis?
they went in and they said the only problem with Mongolia is all these Mongols.
Try to kill them all. They just
stormed into China. Where was a white man they're speaking of China, about now fifty million dead? Was he led by a white man, North Korea.
Concentration camps, where's, the white guy.
Rwanda,
Rwanda, where,
the White Guy, there you see Don, it is
not a race problem:
It is a human problem.
But nobody really wants to talk about that, because nobody's really looking for an answer.
God almighty! Can we decide
If we want to save this or not
Do you want to save it.
No one wants to discuss mental health, no one
to discuss addiction, drugs, loneliness disk,
action from community
decline of religion. The list goes on and on and on its all about yes, but which party did you vote for.
It's easy to see why you here we are when you hear people like Don Lemon
view this, and this is Don Hate.
Spew this hate.
That CNN actually has the goal
all to call objective reporting.
And to the over one hundred million white men out there.
And forgets, which in a Geico CO,
Save tons of money by never having to buy a Halloween costume ever again
Because you're, the biggest terror threat in the country just show
then you're golf pants
because I know what you want to do with that golf club-
You just won a beat people to death, read a great wash,
in posted editorial
after a deranged Democrat living in his van nearly assassinated rub Republican Steve's gullies firing more than seventy rounds at house Republicans practising for the congressional Baseball game House. Minority leader, Nancy Pelosi declared it
rageous that anyone,
Would blame democratic rhetoric for inspiring the shooter quote
oh dear they say such a thing, Pelosi thundered
never mind that the shooter echoed democratic vitriol against the president ranting on Facebook. That Trump is guilty and go to pour, should go to prison for treason, and that quote,
Tromp has destroyed our democracy it's time to destroy trump and company, now
Democrats are doing exactly what they condemned.
Man, it is so easy to feel good student get up in the morning and know that I don't have to answer
before
I positions in the past because I've been consistent.
Blame the Democrats for that shooting, I am not blaming Donald Trump, for this feels good feels really good
scratch are doing exactly what they condemn. Blaming president trumps divisive rhetoric for the recent spat of male bomb attacks and the massacre at Pittsburgh synagogue. The truth is,
seated, the moral high ground years ago, our d?
And individually all began long before Trump and
that's in their allies are as culpable as the president notice even said. This. There
As culpable.
They didn't say very
Sponsible is their fault.
Finally, somebody with reason assaying YAP, both sides
call that in two thousand the end, W C p spent millions on ugly adds a coup accusing George W Bush of moral equivalence with white supremacist, who

My father was beaten, chained and then drag three miles to his death. All because he was black, said birds daughter. As
Green flash grainy images of a chain dragging the body behind a pickup truck. So when
but our George W Bush refused to support hate crime legislation. It was like my father was killed all over again.
The Republicans doing that, are you demonizing,
Look up demonizing. I just want to make sure it's it's
a signing up,
characteristics of the devil, no.
Barack Obama set the tone for his two thousand eight campaign against John Mccain when he declared, if they bring
After the fight we bring a gun.
John Louis Democrat from Georgia answer that call when he comes when he compared Mccain to this
regulation is Alabama George, while Alabama Governor George Wallace and declared
Mccain was replicating the climate of hatred and the vision. John Frickin Mccain.
That led to the attacks on civil rights workers? For years later, a pro Obama super pack ran
showing GEO P, vice presidential nominee, Paul Ryan, pushing an old lady in a wheelchair over the side of a cliff while another ran a false, add blaming Mitt Romney for a woman's death from cancer
We must all agree on this.
Because I was not a supporter of of Mitt Romney,
his policies are all screwed up. However,
May Romney is a good guy. He's a nice
sky
He's not he's,
demonizing Mitt Romney. They did.
And when the when the left was honest for about five minutes after they got beaten by DOT by Donald Trump.
I heard one of em say you know what we
brought this on ourselves because we rejected and demonized people like Mitt Romney, yes,
Yes, your eggs
equally right.
During the twenty sixteen campaign. Hillary Clinton compared Republicans to Nazis, saying regard
illegal immigrants. They wanted to round them up and put them into box cars. So, let's see, let's see, let's see demonizing.
We gotta stop with this rhetoric. Pudding
into box cars.
You're saying that Donald Trump,
it's going to around people up and put them into
Apps like outwits, she,
bear the GEO Pete terrorist. Just what Don Lemon did today. Now
extreme views on women. We expect that from that we expect that from some of the terrorist groups we expect that from
well, who dont want to live in a modern world, but its little hearted,
take from the Republicans she listed the Republicans alongside the Iranians as the enemies she was most proud of making so press
don't tell me about Donald Trump, calling you an enemy.
Unless you are also going to point out that, maybe the other side should stop as well, because they both just stop, I'm not doing it.
But here I sit down now what I dont know how to do my job anymore when trumped up
Office Democrats abandon their role as opposition and declared themselves. The resistance look up,
the word resistance in the ox
dictionary you'll see the definition the use
force or violence to oppose someone or something.
Professor political science, at University of Indiana,
Notes the word resistance quote: first, surfaces in debates about
A turann aside, the violet removal from power of misbehaving kings, who usurped authority not
Properly belonging to them,
Police would have been forgiven for pointing out that his would be assassin took Democrats calls to resistance, literally
More recently, some Democrats were peddling the unfounded accusations that bread Cavanaugh participated.
Gang rapes in an effort to destroy the Supreme Gordon Nominee, clear,
Defended smash mouth tactics, declaring you can't be civil with a political party that wants to destroy what you stand for well, I got
ask you this. What is it we stand for.
ITALY. What is it you stand for and dont use your fancy little political, all your folks.
Group words.
What is the democratic? What does
Democratic party stand for.
And, if you use their focus group, were well equality, justice and fairness. But what does that mean
Redistribution of wealth, ray
distribution of power.
Forcibly what does
republican Party stand for I dont know.
I can tell you what I stand for.
I can tell you what I think the vast majority of american stand, for.
Men are created, equal women endowed by their created with certain inalienable rights, and among these rights are life Liberty and the pursuit of happiness.
But you have a right to freedom of speech
nobody should be able to shut down the press, but you,
the right to assemble with whoever it is. You want to assemble with you have a right to petition your government. You have a right to protect yourself. The government
come in and just say, hell. Yeah, by the way we're just gonna live here,
you can't come in and tat, your phones go through your papers,
be forced to testify against yourself,
No cruel and unusual punishment theirs
more, but
rights that were not naming
they belong to the individual and there's some
powers to those
he's belong to the state
the bill of rights, that's what we
having common, that's what we
stand for. That's what
will bring us back together
no one wants to talk about that.
Because that's a solution.
That's a solution,
You know what we started this country, we had a group
people in Congress that want
a solution. We
we have that now we don't have to
in the end, we are growing further and further apart to where the people are
even looking for a solution anymore. Well, once you ve got
that point you're done this is the best one by programme,
pad. I dont know if you ve seen the latest.
The environmentalists, who you know that
they they care about. You know they care
the animals there they care about the planet. They care about everything they
we really should kill our pets now
because we have this compulsion dispute
to seek out annual animal companionship. It is one of our primary factors affecting our climate. Prick
equally in the United States, where there are one hundred and sixty three million companion animals roughly one
tat for every two Americans
highest number of any country in the world
and those one hundred and sixty three million pats, have a detrimental impact on the environment from the food they consume to the waste they produce, so the ban,
thing we can do, is killer
euthanize, every every
of our pets are about you, but I care about the planet. I'm willing to dual I'm willing to humanize on unwilling to get rid of all them. Follow the cats get rid of all just the cat
yeah yeah. I think so we seem to be of an anti cad. That's why I'm asking? Why did you see also that the cats are responsible for killing over
billion birds a year, yeah yeah, so the other bad for the environment to six billion small animals.
But a billion birds specifically, and for those who see that extinction of their any bird species. Now there was a vet. There was a new story out. They talked about the predator that it
in your house and it is a cat and they are killing birds and
billions of animals, billions of animals and we
After we have two euthanize the cats and I'm willing to go there, I am tube
First of all,
I've got a theory about cat owners, and I in I do too. If you have one,
worth monitoring gaily
it I think you can have one, but your family should notice. Yes, yes, I don't want a mile or two you start monitor. Yes to
you should have to register the school you should have to read. You know you should have to register with maybe local law enforcement. We should just know where you are
at all times at all times at all times, if you have
three yeah, you gotta be institutional. Oh really, I was socialized see. I think I
more than three is when you need to be destroyed
Why spend the money on in two years?
right. You shall right now, you're crazy, something's gonna happen, never
he's gonna, go you run away, not dead in the cats are going to do anyway, so it ain't we might as well just so you'd, devoid all that yeah.
But I think you're right tat people are disturbing. They really are as Germany. Can you do all this with executive order? Do you need to get legislation now? Are we really fine from an executive order, yeah, yeah, yeah, so trunk unjust,
this, should assure you still got the patients like he can with the executive order on the morning constitution, executive order.
I mean. Having can ask you Helen? Where do you stand on that executive orders path,
We heard this repass was a lively and places. Yes, we talked about this yesterday,
after we spoke and that
it's a pretty good case, made by a lists the
I'd say: none at all: we, U it birth
the case. We need a little piece of it here and went out with this,
that's what they meant and that's right. It is yes. It is interesting that there's two sides of it among people, conservatives among conservatives, which is why these others types of issues I find most interesting is the case for very little piece of it here, and we also this out at world, was do as well. If you want to hear and be able to view evil dismantling quickly cause, I tend to scan but
it's? It's interesting. It is coming from a conservative original list,
who felt that you dismantled this quickly. Oh yeah, ok, how you you don't feel like you did not give him a gateway, you're, so you'll James Madison, said it is an established maxim that there is a that birth is a criterion of allegiance. Birth, however, derives its force, sometimes from place, and sometimes from parentage, but in June,
oh place. Is them
certain criterion. It is
that applies in the United States. It will there
or be unnecessary to investigate any other.
It goes on to then quote
this is, though, this is Edward Bates President Lincoln's attorney general way where we can. We separate these two because the first one is James Madison hard to take it apart, Missus James Madison right. However James Madison, I think in this particular case James Madison, is it
Looking at something different he's, not looking at the weather, you came from Great Britain are not correct. He's not talking about people were coming in trying to drop off to be able to take stuff,
organised or bring the whole family. I born of the colonies, were you born in great Britain Correct and they answered that two ways. If you
born here, you dont need naturalisation. However,
you also have to be born here to be president and that's what they were worried about. They were worried about these English coming in at
this out for size. They were worried about the English coming in and just saying: hey, I'm I'm I'm american I'm living here and I'm american. So I can vote
because they knew that if all these english people came in, they would change the country. That's why they
didn't want an a foreigner, as president is well. You had to be born here, so they
we're trying to protect it at that time for
the English coming in and screwing up the country with a vote, which is what we're deal dealing with now.
I agree with that. Although he saying, if you're born here, you are you do it corrects because
it was a day. It was a different time and a different problem.
And I say it like as much as I love dreams valid and I love the founders. It's almost less important what they thought about this particular issue, because it was an amendment to the constitution right, we're talking with the fourteenth amendment on they do and that's why you have to separate James Madison cause, that's not constitutional. He didn't put that in the constitution. Without
put in under Lincoln and ends
now go to that because that's a different argument as well-
so we ve
is now Edward Bates as President Lincoln's attorney general.
Ass? It in a pretty this is again a few years right before they do the fourteenth amendment the
it incorporates the language and is this is from the arc of national view properly understood of codified Attorney General Bates Contemporary understanding. This is what he says. I am
white clear in the opinion that children born in the United States of alien parents who have never been naturalised, are now
if born citizens of the United States and, of course, do not require the formality of naturalisation to entitled
to the rights and privileges of such citizenship, is in their more. That is the end of quote. I thought there
something else too about. Maybe it was in James Madison that they had come in the proper way or something I thought I heard that earlier today, but
The Abraham Lincoln thing is just the same. Remember so
we're gonna constitutional thing, because there wasn't a fourteenth amendment. Yet I know he's writing this is this is the beginning of it, and so the first one is: how do we know who is citizen is because it's almost all well, it is at that point all immigrants except those who had come over the Mayflower.
Or had their relatives come over before so is very small number. It was mainly immigrants, so
How do you know who is an American? Well, were you born here that was
That was the question of who is an american at that time, because it was mainly
You know people from England and they were worried about the English coming
and so you're born here you're, a citizen you can serve. You can vote starting again, pretty serious german influx too. Yes, serious german and they were free by that the
The second thing is with with Lincoln he
he's trying to solve a different problem here,
owing to solve. At that point the day,
literally the Democratic Party,
this is their first attempt before pole. Taxes- and you know
moving the polling place and all the crap that they did the fur
thing was ah well, you know you're, not you, ok, you might be. You might be assessed in, but your kids to your kid
weren't slaves, so
Kids, aren't citizens he's
they're trying to say, stop it stop it
you're talking about the slaves, the slaves are free, their citizens and so are their children. The
have you have to look at the thirteenth and fourteenth amendment four
it was talking about in what it was trying to do. It
trying to say to the Democrats, see
a pit.
These are human beings, and they are citizens, be fascinated here. These two sides talk this out because its it they're both come from the conservative perspective. It's not like you know
Chris Cuomo versus somebody. You trust where these are both sides of the argument, a really their interesting. I dont because
think you're right so, but sometimes that is because that is there
What they were intending right was chattel slavery. However, sometimes you that is, that the also
there are now unintended, but intended
consequences where you would you would absorbing larger group to make sure that one group is there is no way. The intent is that if you come
here from Mexico, Central and South America, as you have a baby and everybody who does that is now a citizen's right away that with our russian tours now that
if you try, needs to India and take you to Miami the Russians, no to Miami. You stay here for a few weeks, you have the baby here. You're York
dear child as american citizenship. Same thing in Hawaii, with the Asians,
big in Hawaii, but probably also big in California. That's not what they
we're talking about this, not at all different problem. It think that constitution, the first ten
in the bill of rights, though
our Universal Bowser Gigantic,
so, when somebody says a bill of rights, well,
is it in the first ten
because the first ten are global. Pretty
much with an exception of new ideas,
pretty much. The very the rest of them are a restating of the first one where they had to get very specific and say no dummy women. Women are part of all. Men are created, equal women can vote same thing with black in the thirteenth Fourteenth amendment.
There they were specific.
Where the amendments are very broad, the first ten. What did have made sense for them to think that in Dallas,
Texas, United States of America at Parkland Hospital. Seventy five percent of the babies born there are boring.
Who illegals and now they're all citizens
that doesn't make sense to anybody at design
dare Devil use you just gotta, ITALY's rise, not good constitution. This is this. This is the best phrase and I just
can't understand, how people don't understand this, but
constitution was not meant to be a suicide pact.
Partner, but it's also a very dangerous free sites. I feel like that's the same argument. People use with the second amendment ah well, they
they look, I mean that the tie. You may only have these little weapons in those that would look like I'm sure they wanted freedom of guns. I mean these guns are too big to brutal, and this is not meant to be a suicide parent. When I'm talking about suicide pack, I mean on the principles on the poor
principles. Is it's not meant to be a suicide peck? If we
follow these principles, you won't have a constitution, you won't have America anymore, you just won't
because I know what he is going to nobody wanted for a hundred years and we still have America doing it differently. Now there was not the have a baby tourism back in nineteen hundred now may certainly being exploited at some level right I mean, but that does not mean you to it then, like, let us say we re workflow allergy argument as an argument to amend the constitution. Let's just say it with their intent was at the beginning, what you say it was there
We wanted it. We by aliens to does come in and have been dropped. Babies over here and in it are gonna, be anchor. Babies in they're gonna get citizenship which say that was there in tat. I dont think it was built. You say it was if that was true and and back
people were in exporting it. And now people are you, that's it our limits on amendments, not situation, not to say we now think robbed them. If you want to change guns, don't make some slippery argued out just amended Eightieth amendment,
Twenty first amendment we said you know what we're going to ban all alcohol. We did it bad idea,
Twenty first amendment forget the eighteenth amendment. We need a drink.
Might yet and that's the way you're supposed to do it and they don't want to do it that way because hard it's hard and they know that it's impossible to make the argument, because
you do something that big you?
actually have to think about it. This is the best of the blend back programme. I it's Glenn. If you're a subscriber to the podcast, can you do me a favor and rate us on Itunes? If you're not a subscriber become one today and listen on your own time, you can subscribe on Itunes begs where a lot of social justice warriors were excited when they heard that Whitey had died yesterday by different whitey. This was the mob guy
A whitey bolder me was eighty nine years old found unresponsive yesterday at eight twenty in the morning he had
and in custody. Since Monday they were transferring em, they moved him from a prison in Florida and how to stop in Oklahoma City before moving to West Virginia. He was a tall.
ACT by three men in the general population sector of the prison
one of the men used a lock tucked into a sock as a weapon said: doktor suits thing for
is a Halloween doktor sues. We should write that anyway
and then the group attempted gouges eyes out ok
I mean you know why I'm John Johnson
But everyone around here likes to call me Nancy
so this guy is ain't notorious by the way, the guy who killed him. What a surprise a mob hit man,
ITALY's that's who they think Sky
notorious
a legend in the mob world? Here's a clip from a documentary about him ways staring at me in grand in his teeth he saw, kill you stallion, then I'll kill you
we want. You killed my system to guarantee some mighty. Parliament kills Baldos. If you want to go ahead and shun me, Mary Mary people went to sleep there. They were over twenty five years. We Alger rule the organised crime while he was
charged with even a misdemeanor. Whitey bolder faces possible maximum of life in prison. This is really a typical criminal try. This is not about getting acquainted. Don't you want to know what really went on is a government
excited about having bolder come back. Some people certainly are, but there are other
who have many sleepless nights about what James
Just gonna testified question. I got the money. This is for me a documentary, great documentary called Whitey United States of America Verses, Sir James J, bolder the direct
is Joe Berliner and he's on with us now high Joe how're ya error, you good to hear from you so for people who don't follow Whitey give us that give tell a story
It's a long and complicated tail, but in a nutshell,
you know. He ran South Boston in a neighborhood called Southie, and
over a twenty five year period. He basically
It was allowed to kill with impunity as as we later found out, he was some you know allowed to be an informant for the FBI
the FBI's mandate in the eightys was to bring down the mafia.
To do that they used Whitey and some of his associates as informants and which, in and of itself
is ok, but they then
the blind eye. You know when you're, an informant for the federal government is not a licence to kill and he was he was allowed to base
we run roughshod over the streets. South Boston
he had a strange hold over the neighbourhood as well. There was a lot of folklore that he was like kind of a Robin hood in giving Turkey's to family members and doing nice things for the neighbour,
but in keeping drugs out but as the trial that which is the subject of my documentary, reveals a lot of that was just never may. He was
one of the biggest rug runners in the area, but he was
the big unknown story. This not being talked about is in his he's is often thought of as an informant, but his informing really. They produce much
and in fact he was really allowed just you know, create a lot of
themselves out of the victims of Baldur are still very angry. With the federal government and the debate,
Yahoo grew the victims, be yet
dozens of families who were the victims of why these crimes I mean whitey with all. I see what you say, but he did he put anybody behind bars. Did he have
ran out anybody that.
In the end, the government get anything that's open to debate.
Boston Globe would tell you that, yes, yes, he was a wonder
in form and in that they broke the story, but there is evidence to suggest that it was. It was a greater cover, forges protecting whitey because, with the
federal authorities trying to crack down on the mob on the italian mafia,
and he hit on the mafia would have to run through vultures.
Her whole gang and some people feel inclined.
Even there was strong evidence to suggest that the informing part was just the cover
And really they will allowing whitey the live so that the then head of the strike force in New England to bring down the
hell. Yeah mafia, guiding Jeremiah Tee, O Sullivan, was looking for a little quid pro.
Well like a weighty will. Let you do your thing as long,
you make sure them the mob. Doesn't enow kill me because
There were incidents of lawyers and prosecutors getting.
Killed in retaliation for bringing down the mob so
you know a lot of those allegations have not been proven, but his real connection to the information that he gave as being actually great and valid and information is, is to me one of the myths of this case in Sweden. We need much longer the time period to really discuss it, but the documentary gonna delve into the how much free reign the guy was given and again appeared
format for the government, it doesn't mean you can go ahead and commit crimes at major working hand in hand with the government in exchange, for some benefit like a lot like not being prosecuted or lesser sends, it doesn't mean. Oh, please go out and rob kill steel and maim people, nor were there have been several civil suits, brought against the Department of Justice that have not gone and the families direction, and so there's a lot of
a lot of bitter feelings amongst the people who were who were victims of bulges crime, some of whom were in all criminals themselves, but that doesn't that doesn't
still he might or the end does not justify the means whereby the sky for a quarter century was allowed to just kill with impunity. Emily was tipped off in advance.
About wiretaps. He was tipped off in advance about potential raids. It's really a complicated and in fact some people believe that the sixteen
where is he was on the lamb living in an apartment in Santa Monica with his girlfriend Catherine Grieg, wherever there are many, including myself, who believe that the government really wasn't looking very hard for him and
a new regime came in and then after sixteen years they decided to bring them to justice, and- and there was a trial in the summer of twenty thirteen
so let's talk a little bit about the first method. You talked about that he was known, as you know, a good guy in the neighborhood. Isn't that
I mean this is my impression, and maybe I'm wrong in this. Is
kind of the thing with you know
Capone tried to do that, and you know people
like to think that our now these guys, you're just you, know their whack in just the bad guys there actually good family man, you know
the day when you would kill a man and then you'd send his wife flowers
is there any of that? True,
That seems to be the case that you know he also did some very good things as well enough at times, but first for some people and
so, for example, there was a big bussing crisis in South Boston. It up. There was an attempt to desegregate and the wood.
A buzzing order issued and white
actually was very vociferous. You know in campaigning against it and that kind of rallied South Boston residents to him.
Because he was a good guy, but because they mean that help
the eighth cover for him and good will
exactly and his brother was a famous politicians. Otherwise allowance is in. There is well, you know, with the bill Bulger, president of University of Massachusetts and a problem
a politician. So there was a lot of messy grey areas there with the boulder, so how
it was he involved? Was he just the guy, say yeah whack him, or was he involved in the killings of it? It took pleasure in being involved in the galley. Then it is a signal
because back than there was no dna evidence, a signature was removing teeth of his victims. You know so that they can be
dandified, but no no, he was he was a willing and ruthless participant in some very grisly murders and it happened, and there was a
there was a neighborhood how's that they had called the haughty where
number of these victims were buried in the in the dirt basement of of the actual house that they used as a meeting place. For this
this is a slot, a grisly detail with this case, but that I mean the real
For me, the fascinating thing is, after sixteen years
land they finally column in Santa Monica living
I am in a living, a quiet life, retirees life, you know yet I had almost nine hundred thousand dollars in cash and stuck in the walls and coterie of machine guns and net and weapons but living I just the quiet
life and when it is finally caught and brought back
asking for trial you that he offered to plead guilty in exchange for there's another I've been look
some other noticin, these assembly, something
there have been left out here, he offered to plead guilty if they would take it easy on his girlfriend is, in our view, is living girlfriend. Catherine Greek, who joined him for the sixteen years of being on the.
On and off you know he would. He was willing to plead guilty if they would take it easy on her and give her some very light treatment and look government refused
and you have to ask yourself why? Why did we go through more
a million dollar trial.
For Whitey Border when the king, in other
conclusion was foregone at the start and then trial. Nobody thought he would be found not guilty amid the evidence was just overwhelming and it probably would have saved the state quite a bit of money. He cannot fry em, but
They didn't take it easy on how they catch him, how they catch him.
There were other decided to focus on the girl friend and they play some advertisements and
a woman, you know noticed not weighty, but the girl friend and called it in and got a nice reward for that
So a prosecuted, the woman who turned to men
well
no no, no, no, not the woman who turned over another. Ok, another woman and not the girlfriend another woman current mean ok. Ok, now.
He was killed yesterday. Up ever, I mean, besides
after sues, I didn't know who would come up with a lock in a sock.
Apparently was was killed by a guy. They think is lower. They actions is there's a guy
in prison. Who was a mob hit man who they think killed
They know he was a mob hitman
Who would do?
Was everybody against this guy army? Was he marked for death as soon as they could kill him?
Well? Look, I don't. I don't have the details of yesterday in it. You know it's hard to say, but you know he is responsible for helping are, you know.
Bring down the italian mafia? So you would imagine that there would be people who the out for his his death,
and you have to question you know the.
The security and still unclear to me. I'm still trying to get some information as to why he was being moved and why the multiple moves and why the lack of security
you know some people are speculating that this was a purposeful move. I can't say that, but
a guy who's involved in multiple murders over decades,
it's an involved in bringing down the mafia. You know what action would be a target
we're we're talking to a job earlier. He is the director of White, a United States of America versus James J Bulger, who is in a wider, and I guess what was
that it tracked you to this story. Why? Why did you make the film in what do what attracted you
to it, and what did you take away from it?
yeah, I mean I thought that you know bolder.
Finally bring being brought to trial does. Is there such a myth about the guy they such folklore? You know
our society
Fortunately, we tend to glamorize like euros out of criminals. Above
probably is the greatest example of that so much folklore surrounding in so much hero, worship, films, that kind of downplay
grisly side of or the early
the matter of what is responsible for, even if it does show the details of how people are
build a week. We celebrate criminals in this.
Society with her with an odd phenomenon.
So the idea that he was being brought back to trial. Finally, the face the music, I thought would be
an opportunity kind of separate fact from fiction and to really understand the crimes
that was my going in assumption, but sitting through
trial and witnessing it and getting to know Bulger. In fact, I was
only journalist allowed to actually interview him because the defence attorneys that basically trust
it may versus some other journalists in part. Because of my previous work, domes like Paradise lost. You know
what fascinated men were and what my big turn was was just how culpable the government has been
in allowing a killer.
To run roughshod over the streets of Boston.
And how you know he is informant
If you're going to allow somebody to evade justice for twenty five years, you would hope that the record of what you gonna do what
what you got so rock solid, and I so points to like. Oh my god, this guy was invaluable, but the evidence was just not there for me and out. He was
then he was in the large boxes as being an informant. But you know, if you really,
drill into it. There is very little information aid that the fair
then already have, and so then the question is: why was he allowed,
then? If he gave the best information on the planet and is directly responsible for the end of the mafia in New England, as we know it, which was not the case
still have to question the wisdom of the government, allowing somebody like that to commit murder and they knew it Joe palpable times. Thank you very much, and if you want to see the video you can, you can check it out online and and watch it. I got it kind of a good tenable

it was a crime of contempt, one young man's logic, misguided through the onslaught of insanity. His name remains unspoken, but his crime is unforgettable. This
it's his story nervous,
very, very dreadfully nervous. I had better and am

All with a sense of hearing was a cute. I heard

it's impossible to say how the first idea entered my brain, but once conceived it haunted
me day and night object. There was none.
Action? There was none. I love the old man. He had never wrong me it. Never. Given me insult for his
I had no desire,
it was his. I guess
It was this,
He had an idea about vulture a pale blue eye film over whenever it
upon me, my blood ran cold, and so on
degrees very gradually. I made up my mind to take the life of the old man and thus rid myself of the eye forever. Now this is the point
You fancy me mad
very slowly sigh Meda.
Could have seen me
You should have seen how wisely I proceeded with what caution with what foresight
dissimulation. I went to work. I was there,
Kinder to the old man that during the whole week before I killed him and every night
I turned the latch of his door, so gently then, when I made it
sufficient for my head.
Put in a lantern stark. All closed closed, so no light shone out. Then I thrust in my ad hoc. You would have laughed at sea.
Cunningly. I thrust it in. I moved it in slowly, very, very slowly, so I may not disturb the old man. Sleep took me an hour to place my whole head within the opening
so far that I could see he lay upon his bed,
would a mad men have done? Something is wise. Is this and then, when my head was well within the room, I am: did the lantern cautiously HO soap cautiously consciously for the Hinges creed? I did it just some
such that a single thin re fell upon the vulture for this
I did for seven long nights every night just at midnight, but I found the I always closed. Size is impossible to do. The work was not the old man who vexed me but is evil eye, and every morning, when the day broke, I went boldly into the chamber and spent courageously to him, calling him, by name in a hearty tone and inquiring. How you pass the night
So here you see he would have been a very profound old man, indeed to suspect that every night, just twelve I look in on. While he slept upon the eighth night, I was more than usually cautious and opening the door
much is minute hand moves more quickly than did my ever before that night, and I
felt. The extent of my own powers of my sagacity I could scarce
contain my feelings of triumph. To think
I was there opening the door little by little and even dream of my secret deeds are thoughts accurately
not at the idea had. Perhaps he heard me forty moved on the bed suddenly. Now you may think that I drew back.
His room. Was black, is pitch with thick darkness for the shutters were closed and fashion through the figure of robbers
so I knew he could not see the opening of the door and I kept pushing it steadily. Stead.
Heading. I was about
open the lantern. When my thumb slipped upon the tin fastening, the old man sprang up the bed crying out there. I kept quiet still. I said nothing for all our
and in the meantime I did not hear him lie down here.
Still sitting up in bed listening, just as I had done night after night hearken,
the death watches and presently
I heard slight. Am I knew it was a groan of mortal terror. It was.
A grove of pain or of grief. I know it was the low stifled, sound that arises from the bottom of the soul when overcharged with awe with sound many in my chest
night when all the world slapped it'd welled up from my own bosom deepening with a dreadful echo, the terrors that distracted me up. I say I knew it well. I knew what the old man felt in pity to him I chuckled at heart. I knew that he had been laying awake ever since the first slight noise when he turned in the bed. His fear
had been ever since growing upon him. He had been true
to fancy them causeless, but could not? He had been saying to himself it's nothing but the wind in the chimney. It's only a mouse crossing the floor or its. We merely a cricket to whose made a single Chirrup
Oh yes, he had been trying to comfort itself for these suppositions.
He found them all in vain all in vain, because DAS,
in approaching him had stopped with his
black shadow before him and fell the victim.
I did was the mournful influence of the unperceived shadow that caused him to feel, although he never saw nor heard to feel the presence of my hand, it was in the room when I am at weighted
very long time very patiently without hearing and lie down.
I resolved to open a little a very, very little crevice in the lantern, so I opened it.
You cannot imagine how stealthily
till at length, a single dim re, like the thread of a spider shot from the crevice in fell upon both Voltaire. I M is open wide wide open and I fear he s ass. I gazed upon it. I sought with perfect distinctness, sought dull blue with a hideous veil over the shield. My very marrow in my bones, like nothing else of the governments, face a person for I directed the re as if by instinct, precisely upon the damned spot and have I not told you that what you ll estate for madness is but an over acuteness of sense
now. I say there came to my ears a low dull, quick sound such as a watch makes when enveloped in cotton.
That sound.
New that sound well too, it was
the beating of the old man's heart it increased, my fury as the beating of a drum stimulates a soldier in the courage, but even yet I refrain still I scare
he breathed.
Held the lantern motionless. I tried steadily,
I could maintain the re upon the eye. Meantime, the
step, two of the heart, increased, quicker and quicker and louder and louder. Every instant, the old man's terror must have been extremely grew. Louder, I say louder every moment: do you, like? I told you a house nervous, and so I am now at the dead our night
Amid the dreadful silence first, is this cited me to uncontrollable terror? Yet in its long stood still, I thought his heart must first and then a new exotic seized me sound. The sun would be heard by a neighbour the old man's our it come when allowed yeah like the lantern and leaped into the room he Threeg once only once in an instant, I frankly that heavy bent over and then I smiled gaily could find the deed so far done, but for many minutes his heart beat on with a muffled sound, is, however, didn't backs link. It would not be heard through the Wall
at length. It see
the old man was dead. I remove the bed and examined the corpse. Yes, he was stone stone dead. They place my hands upon. I felt it for many minutes. There was no pulsation, he was stone dead. His eye was troubled me. If you
still think me. Mad
You will think so. No longer when I describe the wise precautions I took for the concealment of the body
but like waned
hastily, but in silence, first
like this member, the courts I cut off the head in the arms and legs, then I took up three points from the flooring of the chamber and deposited all between the scantlings than I reckon
It's the board, so cleverly so cunningly that no human eye
even he is good of detection.
Everything wrong.
Nothing to wash out those stain of any kind, no blood spot, whatever
To where it for that a tub had caught at all.
When I had made an end of these labors, it was four o clock still dark at midnight.
As the Bell sounded the hour, they came in.
Looking at the street door, I went down to dinner with a light heart for how do I have to fear there entered three men who introduced themselves with perfect suavity is officers of the police
had been heard by a neighbor during the night suspicion of foul play than around us information.
Had been lodged with the police office and they they,
officers had been deputed to search the premises. I bade the gentlemen. Welcome the shore
I said, was my own in a dream. The old man I mentioned was absent in the country,
I took my visitors all over the house. I bade them search
search where I live.
At length to his chamber, I showed them his treasure secure, undisturbed,
Did the enthusiasm of my confidence brought chairs into the room and desire them here to rest from your fatigues, while I myself in the wild
Dat city of my perfect triumph place my own seat upon the very spot beneath which proposed the corpse of the victim. The offices
satisfied my matter convincing.
I was simply at ease. They sat.
While I answered cheerily, they chatted
a familiar things, but

I fancy the ringing in my ears, but they sat
still chatted ringing.
Became more distinct talk more freely, they get rid of the feeling but continued and gained definitiveness until at length.
We found that the noise was not within my years. No doubt I grew very pale and they talk more frequently and with a heightened voice, sounded creased. What could I do it with a low dull, quick, sound, much such a sound ass? A watch makes when enveloped in cod
As for breath,
yet the offices or did not- I got more quickly more vehemently, but that but the noise steadily increased. I rose and argued about trifles key with violent gesticulations with noise steadily increased. Why would they not be gone? I paced the floor to and fro with every strides excited a fury by the observations of a man with a noise steadily increase. Oh god, what could I do? I found I raised here and which I have been sitting in cross. The boards of the noise arose over all and continually agree. It grew louder and louder and louder. Two men shouted pleasantly and smiled. Was it possible later, not almighty, God? No, no, they heard they suspected. I knew they were making a mockery of my horror. This I thought, and this I think, but anything was better than this agony. Anything was more tolerable than this derision. I could bear those hypocritical smiles. No longer I felt that I must scream or die and now again heart rate dissemble, no more, the deed, tear up the planks areas. Some of these areas
