1 00:00:03,000 --> 00:00:09,370 foreign 2 00:00:16,129 --> 00:00:13,430 things about pizza gate is that it 3 00:00:20,090 --> 00:00:16,139 really cuts through a lot of the 4 00:00:23,390 --> 00:00:20,100 ambiguity with the evil kind of moral 5 00:00:27,050 --> 00:00:23,400 good bad question because sex crimes 6 00:00:29,929 --> 00:00:27,060 against children are evil clearly evil 7 00:00:33,830 --> 00:00:29,939 so in that way it really makes clear the 8 00:00:36,770 --> 00:00:33,840 question what is the nature of this evil 9 00:00:38,810 --> 00:00:36,780 is this evil something we just cook up 10 00:00:41,750 --> 00:00:38,820 in our Consciousness is an illusion 11 00:00:44,630 --> 00:00:41,760 brain or does this evil tell us 12 00:00:46,569 --> 00:00:44,640 something about this hierarchical nature 13 00:00:49,850 --> 00:00:46,579 of Consciousness 14 00:00:52,430 --> 00:00:49,860 had I not been undercover had I walked 15 00:00:54,049 --> 00:00:52,440 past them and heard these men talking 16 00:00:56,150 --> 00:00:54,059 like that I would have thrown them off 17 00:00:59,750 --> 00:00:56,160 the railing I mean it was so disgusting 18 00:01:02,330 --> 00:00:59,760 it demonstrated to me that parents were 19 00:01:05,270 --> 00:01:02,340 providing eye candy for these pedophiles 20 00:01:06,950 --> 00:01:05,280 and these these sick perverts I I don't 21 00:01:09,350 --> 00:01:06,960 know how anyone 22 00:01:13,670 --> 00:01:09,360 just as you had said earlier Alex how 23 00:01:17,910 --> 00:01:13,680 can anyone say that is not evil 24 00:01:24,430 --> 00:01:17,920 stay with us for skeptico 25 00:01:28,010 --> 00:01:25,789 [Music] 26 00:01:29,990 --> 00:01:28,020 welcome to skeptico where we explore 27 00:01:32,510 --> 00:01:30,000 controversial science and spirituality 28 00:01:34,730 --> 00:01:32,520 with leading researchers thinkers and 29 00:01:37,910 --> 00:01:34,740 their critics I'm your host Alex sakaris 30 00:01:40,910 --> 00:01:37,920 and the topic of today's show is not one 31 00:01:42,469 --> 00:01:40,920 that's easy to talk about and not one 32 00:01:44,749 --> 00:01:42,479 that you'd expect to hear on a show 33 00:01:47,030 --> 00:01:44,759 about Consciousness science I know that 34 00:01:48,950 --> 00:01:47,040 because I get plenty of emails asking me 35 00:01:51,590 --> 00:01:48,960 when I'm going to get back to nde and 36 00:01:53,749 --> 00:01:51,600 PSY research but hey there's an 37 00:01:55,789 --> 00:01:53,759 important through line here that I'd 38 00:01:57,230 --> 00:01:55,799 like to explore with you that really 39 00:02:01,010 --> 00:01:57,240 gets to the heart of what this show is 40 00:02:03,770 --> 00:02:01,020 all about because my primary finding if 41 00:02:07,310 --> 00:02:03,780 you will from 350 episodes of skeptico 42 00:02:08,749 --> 00:02:07,320 is that we are more that is we're not 43 00:02:11,990 --> 00:02:08,759 biological robots in a meaningless 44 00:02:16,550 --> 00:02:12,000 universe that science tells us we are we 45 00:02:20,449 --> 00:02:16,560 are more so really all questions beyond 46 00:02:23,210 --> 00:02:20,459 that are about what that more is what 47 00:02:25,729 --> 00:02:23,220 that spirituality is what that extended 48 00:02:28,130 --> 00:02:25,739 Consciousness is where did it come from 49 00:02:30,830 --> 00:02:28,140 what is its purpose how does it function 50 00:02:34,430 --> 00:02:30,840 in our life and in our world and while 51 00:02:36,410 --> 00:02:34,440 sure these are the deepest most profound 52 00:02:37,970 --> 00:02:36,420 questions that you could ask that people 53 00:02:40,670 --> 00:02:37,980 have been asking for thousands of years 54 00:02:44,030 --> 00:02:40,680 and it's not like we're gonna figure it 55 00:02:46,610 --> 00:02:44,040 out on a couple of podcast episodes the 56 00:02:49,790 --> 00:02:46,620 topic is I think the most important 57 00:02:52,910 --> 00:02:49,800 topic we can talk about and in this 58 00:02:55,610 --> 00:02:52,920 ongoing conversation that we're having I 59 00:02:57,830 --> 00:02:55,620 think it's nice to keep it fresh and 60 00:03:00,110 --> 00:02:57,840 relevant with new things that are 61 00:03:03,290 --> 00:03:00,120 happening and look at how those might 62 00:03:06,710 --> 00:03:03,300 inform or further our understanding of 63 00:03:08,690 --> 00:03:06,720 what's really going on and pizzagate 64 00:03:12,110 --> 00:03:08,700 that is the controversy arounding the 65 00:03:14,990 --> 00:03:12,120 alleged occult themed and pedophilia 66 00:03:18,890 --> 00:03:15,000 themed emails of Hillary Clinton's top 67 00:03:22,009 --> 00:03:18,900 aide John podesta are certainly fresh 68 00:03:24,410 --> 00:03:22,019 and I would suggest that they're very 69 00:03:26,750 --> 00:03:24,420 relevant to some of these skeptical 70 00:03:28,130 --> 00:03:26,760 questions I was just talking about in 71 00:03:30,830 --> 00:03:28,140 some really important ways let me 72 00:03:34,430 --> 00:03:30,840 explain first of all the thing that 73 00:03:38,449 --> 00:03:34,440 really attracts me to looking at this is 74 00:03:41,030 --> 00:03:38,459 that it drives us right to the core of 75 00:03:42,830 --> 00:03:41,040 the evil question and this is something 76 00:03:44,509 --> 00:03:42,840 I've been hammering on a little bit and 77 00:03:46,430 --> 00:03:44,519 there's some interesting back and forth 78 00:03:48,830 --> 00:03:46,440 with some of my guests on that but let 79 00:03:52,009 --> 00:03:48,840 me recap for a minute what I mean when I 80 00:03:53,869 --> 00:03:52,019 say the evil question so step back and 81 00:03:55,729 --> 00:03:53,879 look at ndes for a minute so you have a 82 00:03:58,250 --> 00:03:55,739 near-death experience science and the 83 00:04:00,229 --> 00:03:58,260 conclusion is consciousness survives 84 00:04:01,550 --> 00:04:00,239 death that's the finding every 85 00:04:03,649 --> 00:04:01,560 significant near-death experience 86 00:04:04,850 --> 00:04:03,659 researchers come to that conclusion the 87 00:04:06,470 --> 00:04:04,860 data has come to that conclusion 88 00:04:08,330 --> 00:04:06,480 hundreds and hundreds of published 89 00:04:10,130 --> 00:04:08,340 studies you've got to be there if you've 90 00:04:12,589 --> 00:04:10,140 really dug into the data followed the 91 00:04:15,789 --> 00:04:12,599 data where it leads but the next 92 00:04:19,490 --> 00:04:15,799 question about nde research is 93 00:04:21,830 --> 00:04:19,500 what does the experience seem to be 94 00:04:24,710 --> 00:04:21,840 telling us about the nature of this 95 00:04:25,850 --> 00:04:24,720 Consciousness that survives death and 96 00:04:27,770 --> 00:04:25,860 notice how I said that because that's 97 00:04:29,990 --> 00:04:27,780 really the rub here because now we're 98 00:04:31,790 --> 00:04:30,000 saying with the nde research about this 99 00:04:34,670 --> 00:04:31,800 experience is that this is an experience 100 00:04:36,890 --> 00:04:34,680 that people had when they were dead or 101 00:04:39,469 --> 00:04:36,900 at least they had when their brain was 102 00:04:41,930 --> 00:04:39,479 so severely compromised that we can't 103 00:04:43,850 --> 00:04:41,940 really even talk about what kind of 104 00:04:46,010 --> 00:04:43,860 Consciousness experience they would have 105 00:04:49,189 --> 00:04:46,020 been having inside of our existing 106 00:04:50,390 --> 00:04:49,199 neuromodle about how the brain works so 107 00:04:53,270 --> 00:04:50,400 with that we take a look at the 108 00:04:55,070 --> 00:04:53,280 near-death experience experience and we 109 00:04:56,990 --> 00:04:55,080 say what can we start saying about it 110 00:04:58,850 --> 00:04:57,000 and one of the conclusions that seems 111 00:05:00,469 --> 00:04:58,860 pretty clear now not everyone sees it 112 00:05:03,170 --> 00:05:00,479 this way but it sure as heck seems 113 00:05:05,330 --> 00:05:03,180 pretty clear there appears to be a 114 00:05:07,670 --> 00:05:05,340 hierarchy to this Consciousness there's 115 00:05:10,070 --> 00:05:07,680 this incredible love there's this good 116 00:05:12,830 --> 00:05:10,080 there's light there's also regret 117 00:05:15,230 --> 00:05:12,840 there's pain there's Darkness now again 118 00:05:17,990 --> 00:05:15,240 for the atheistic science types they 119 00:05:21,710 --> 00:05:18,000 were able to to dance around the good 120 00:05:23,629 --> 00:05:21,720 bad light dark stuff as long as they 121 00:05:25,010 --> 00:05:23,639 could tie it back to well that's part of 122 00:05:27,110 --> 00:05:25,020 the human condition that's what the 123 00:05:28,730 --> 00:05:27,120 brain is just cooking up but when we 124 00:05:31,430 --> 00:05:28,740 stepped over and said no wait a minute 125 00:05:34,070 --> 00:05:31,440 these are experiences that are people 126 00:05:38,450 --> 00:05:34,080 are pulling back from a non-brained 127 00:05:41,390 --> 00:05:38,460 state we are suddenly propelled right in 128 00:05:44,270 --> 00:05:41,400 the middle of this spirituality thing 129 00:05:46,850 --> 00:05:44,280 that I was saying at the beginning and 130 00:05:49,790 --> 00:05:46,860 as we know for the atheistic science 131 00:05:53,870 --> 00:05:49,800 types this is a call to the Battle 132 00:05:55,249 --> 00:05:53,880 Stations put down this nde research or 133 00:05:57,710 --> 00:05:55,259 we're going to wind up with all the 134 00:06:00,890 --> 00:05:57,720 churchy folks stepping forward with 135 00:06:03,469 --> 00:06:00,900 their big I Told You So and a renewing 136 00:06:05,990 --> 00:06:03,479 of the science versus religion battle 137 00:06:07,309 --> 00:06:06,000 that we've been having for hundreds and 138 00:06:10,129 --> 00:06:07,319 hundreds of years 139 00:06:13,550 --> 00:06:10,139 so back to Pete's gate one of the great 140 00:06:16,309 --> 00:06:13,560 things about pizza gate is that it 141 00:06:20,270 --> 00:06:16,319 really cuts through a lot of the 142 00:06:23,570 --> 00:06:20,280 ambiguity with the evil kind of moral 143 00:06:27,170 --> 00:06:23,580 good bad question because sex crimes 144 00:06:30,050 --> 00:06:27,180 against children are evil clearly evil 145 00:06:34,010 --> 00:06:30,060 so in that way it really makes clear the 146 00:06:36,950 --> 00:06:34,020 question what is the nature of this evil 147 00:06:38,930 --> 00:06:36,960 is this evil something we just cook up 148 00:06:41,870 --> 00:06:38,940 in our Consciousness is an illusion 149 00:06:44,749 --> 00:06:41,880 brain or does this evil tell us 150 00:06:46,610 --> 00:06:44,759 something about this hierarchical nature 151 00:06:48,590 --> 00:06:46,620 of consciousness 152 00:06:51,469 --> 00:06:48,600 so that's one of the reasons Pizza gate 153 00:06:54,050 --> 00:06:51,479 is so interesting to me and I think so 154 00:06:56,570 --> 00:06:54,060 relevant to skeptico but the other 155 00:06:59,450 --> 00:06:56,580 reason it's interesting to me from a 156 00:07:02,150 --> 00:06:59,460 skeptical perspective has to do with 157 00:07:04,850 --> 00:07:02,160 this line we've been following with 158 00:07:06,290 --> 00:07:04,860 regard to conspiracy and again this is 159 00:07:08,390 --> 00:07:06,300 something that freaks people out when I 160 00:07:11,270 --> 00:07:08,400 talk about conspiracy and conspiracy 161 00:07:15,350 --> 00:07:11,280 theory to me it's just a natural 162 00:07:16,969 --> 00:07:15,360 consequence of doing these 350 shows I 163 00:07:18,529 --> 00:07:16,979 mean go all the way back to the 164 00:07:20,809 --> 00:07:18,539 beginning where I'm interviewing Dean 165 00:07:22,730 --> 00:07:20,819 Raiden about why Steve Novella and 166 00:07:25,309 --> 00:07:22,740 prominent scientists like Ray Hyman are 167 00:07:27,170 --> 00:07:25,319 lying about his Psy research well bang 168 00:07:28,909 --> 00:07:27,180 against that problem long enough like we 169 00:07:31,309 --> 00:07:28,919 have and you're forced to consider the 170 00:07:32,870 --> 00:07:31,319 possibility that there's a larger game 171 00:07:34,909 --> 00:07:32,880 of foot and that's certainly the 172 00:07:37,129 --> 00:07:34,919 conclusion I've come to from not only 173 00:07:39,469 --> 00:07:37,139 the crazy way materialist science works 174 00:07:42,050 --> 00:07:39,479 but also the way that research gets 175 00:07:44,270 --> 00:07:42,060 suppressed misrepresented misreported 176 00:07:45,650 --> 00:07:44,280 and in particular I'm thinking about so 177 00:07:47,570 --> 00:07:45,660 many of the cases of near-death 178 00:07:49,309 --> 00:07:47,580 experience research that we've talked 179 00:07:51,129 --> 00:07:49,319 about on this show and chronicled how 180 00:07:54,170 --> 00:07:51,139 they've been intentionally 181 00:07:57,469 --> 00:07:54,180 misrepresented and distorted but all 182 00:08:00,529 --> 00:07:57,479 that is just to defend this skeptico 183 00:08:03,890 --> 00:08:00,539 ethos that has evolved which is when you 184 00:08:05,990 --> 00:08:03,900 look at a topic you have to look for the 185 00:08:07,790 --> 00:08:06,000 conspiracy you have to follow the data 186 00:08:10,850 --> 00:08:07,800 follow the data first but then second 187 00:08:13,309 --> 00:08:10,860 you have to look for the conspiracy or 188 00:08:15,950 --> 00:08:13,319 you're liable to be blindsided so one of 189 00:08:19,730 --> 00:08:15,960 the ways that I've come to gauge the 190 00:08:22,610 --> 00:08:19,740 conspiracy Factor on these topics is to 191 00:08:26,629 --> 00:08:22,620 hear the pushback that I get from people 192 00:08:29,450 --> 00:08:26,639 who are opposed to a topic I may be 193 00:08:31,850 --> 00:08:29,460 covering and now mind you that's not to 194 00:08:34,449 --> 00:08:31,860 suggest that the people who are pushing 195 00:08:37,430 --> 00:08:34,459 back are necessarily part of the 196 00:08:40,190 --> 00:08:37,440 conspiracy if you will I think in a lot 197 00:08:44,149 --> 00:08:40,200 of cases they're more of a reflection of 198 00:08:47,030 --> 00:08:44,159 how the larger conspiracy is working its 199 00:08:49,310 --> 00:08:47,040 way through our culture now you'll hear 200 00:08:51,949 --> 00:08:49,320 one example of this on the interview we 201 00:08:53,570 --> 00:08:51,959 have coming up with Bob Hamer but 202 00:08:55,370 --> 00:08:53,580 another example I can give you and it's 203 00:08:57,829 --> 00:08:55,380 really such a stark example I can't 204 00:09:00,889 --> 00:08:57,839 resist throwing it out there is an email 205 00:09:02,630 --> 00:09:00,899 that I got from my good friend at the 206 00:09:05,570 --> 00:09:02,640 very excellent Buddha at the gas pump 207 00:09:07,190 --> 00:09:05,580 show Rick Archer now Rick as you know 208 00:09:09,829 --> 00:09:07,200 has been on the show a couple times and 209 00:09:13,610 --> 00:09:09,839 he's become somewhat of an unwitting 210 00:09:16,990 --> 00:09:13,620 Muse for me because on one hand he 211 00:09:20,810 --> 00:09:17,000 drives me crazy with his party line 212 00:09:23,810 --> 00:09:20,820 political Progressive brainwashed world 213 00:09:26,630 --> 00:09:23,820 of you but on the other hand he does 214 00:09:29,810 --> 00:09:26,640 provide me with this kind of mirror for 215 00:09:32,509 --> 00:09:29,820 how some of this information is being 216 00:09:33,889 --> 00:09:32,519 processed by people who I like and have 217 00:09:36,350 --> 00:09:33,899 a lot of respect for and think are 218 00:09:39,769 --> 00:09:36,360 really intelligent but think at the same 219 00:09:43,190 --> 00:09:39,779 time are totally missing the boat about 220 00:09:46,430 --> 00:09:43,200 what's really going on in terms of these 221 00:09:49,790 --> 00:09:46,440 deep spirituality questions and how they 222 00:09:53,210 --> 00:09:49,800 relate to our culture how they fit into 223 00:09:57,889 --> 00:09:53,220 the conspiracy question I gotta read for 224 00:09:59,810 --> 00:09:57,899 you the email that Rick sent me after he 225 00:10:02,269 --> 00:09:59,820 listened to my interview with Daniel 226 00:10:03,410 --> 00:10:02,279 pinchbeck where I said look you know if 227 00:10:05,449 --> 00:10:03,420 you don't think there's something to 228 00:10:07,250 --> 00:10:05,459 pizzagate then well you're just not 229 00:10:10,970 --> 00:10:07,260 paying attention you're just not willing 230 00:10:14,389 --> 00:10:10,980 to look at the data so Rick sent me this 231 00:10:16,670 --> 00:10:14,399 Alex you're a great guy and I love you 232 00:10:17,930 --> 00:10:16,680 you've created something wonderful with 233 00:10:21,889 --> 00:10:17,940 skeptico 234 00:10:24,170 --> 00:10:21,899 okay wait for it 235 00:10:26,930 --> 00:10:24,180 buying into this crap will cause 236 00:10:30,470 --> 00:10:26,940 sensible people to abandon your podcast 237 00:10:32,509 --> 00:10:30,480 in droves and leave you with an audience 238 00:10:34,550 --> 00:10:32,519 of wing nuts 239 00:10:37,610 --> 00:10:34,560 it will also dissuade some important 240 00:10:40,970 --> 00:10:37,620 guests from coming on your show you have 241 00:10:43,430 --> 00:10:40,980 an important role to play every time you 242 00:10:47,750 --> 00:10:43,440 voice your support for something like 243 00:10:48,949 --> 00:10:47,760 this you erode and marginalize your 244 00:10:51,710 --> 00:10:48,959 legacy 245 00:10:57,050 --> 00:10:51,720 wow Legacy 246 00:11:00,350 --> 00:10:57,060 okay so now my muse has spoken 247 00:11:01,910 --> 00:11:00,360 so now we can talk about pizzagate and 248 00:11:05,690 --> 00:11:01,920 where I really want to try and get to 249 00:11:07,850 --> 00:11:05,700 with this is this deep spirituality 250 00:11:08,990 --> 00:11:07,860 angle that I was talking about at the 251 00:11:11,150 --> 00:11:09,000 beginning of the show the whole 252 00:11:13,069 --> 00:11:11,160 connection back to skeptico to the in 253 00:11:15,710 --> 00:11:13,079 the e-science to the deeper questions 254 00:11:18,769 --> 00:11:15,720 about spirituality because this topic 255 00:11:21,410 --> 00:11:18,779 has all the elements we need to talk 256 00:11:24,290 --> 00:11:21,420 about the Deep spirituality it has the 257 00:11:26,750 --> 00:11:24,300 occult angle which immediately throws so 258 00:11:29,690 --> 00:11:26,760 many people just running over to the 259 00:11:31,910 --> 00:11:29,700 Christian religious kind of it's all of 260 00:11:35,090 --> 00:11:31,920 the devil kind of thing and I just don't 261 00:11:38,329 --> 00:11:35,100 think that fits on the other hand people 262 00:11:41,030 --> 00:11:38,339 who are quick to defend the occult and 263 00:11:44,210 --> 00:11:41,040 the satanic and freedom of expression 264 00:11:47,030 --> 00:11:44,220 they might want to take a deeper look at 265 00:11:48,110 --> 00:11:47,040 this nature of evil question we've been 266 00:11:51,650 --> 00:11:48,120 talking about 267 00:11:55,310 --> 00:11:51,660 and then thirdly like I always say the 268 00:11:58,009 --> 00:11:55,320 people on the outside looking in are the 269 00:12:01,550 --> 00:11:58,019 atheistic science types we can also 270 00:12:04,129 --> 00:12:01,560 throw our media our intellectuals our 271 00:12:05,990 --> 00:12:04,139 academics we can throw them in the same 272 00:12:08,750 --> 00:12:06,000 boat they're going to be on the outside 273 00:12:12,069 --> 00:12:08,760 of this issue looking in because none of 274 00:12:15,170 --> 00:12:12,079 it is real nothing related to 275 00:12:19,009 --> 00:12:15,180 spirituality to forces Beyond this 276 00:12:22,190 --> 00:12:19,019 Physical Realm influencing us could have 277 00:12:24,889 --> 00:12:22,200 any reality to it I mean how ridiculous 278 00:12:28,250 --> 00:12:24,899 is that how can we possibly make 279 00:12:31,190 --> 00:12:28,260 progress on this issue or any of these 280 00:12:34,269 --> 00:12:31,200 larger issues when we have this huge 281 00:12:38,210 --> 00:12:34,279 blockage of idiots standing in our way 282 00:12:40,610 --> 00:12:38,220 but that's the problem at hand let's 283 00:12:43,370 --> 00:12:40,620 talk pizzagate and I want to try and 284 00:12:46,850 --> 00:12:43,380 break this down going forward in this 285 00:12:50,210 --> 00:12:46,860 already long introduction with the 286 00:12:51,829 --> 00:12:50,220 skeptico ethos outline that I just kind 287 00:12:53,150 --> 00:12:51,839 of sketched out there I don't know if 288 00:12:55,250 --> 00:12:53,160 you caught it but it's a three-step 289 00:12:58,030 --> 00:12:55,260 process first follow the data wherever 290 00:13:02,030 --> 00:12:58,040 it leads second look for the conspiracy 291 00:13:03,769 --> 00:13:02,040 three find the Deep spirituality so here 292 00:13:07,190 --> 00:13:03,779 goes here's how I apply that to 293 00:13:09,730 --> 00:13:07,200 pizzagate data point one the timeline 294 00:13:13,190 --> 00:13:09,740 it's November 4th 295 00:13:15,530 --> 00:13:13,200 2016. four days before the U.S 296 00:13:19,490 --> 00:13:15,540 presidential election our friends at 297 00:13:22,730 --> 00:13:19,500 Wikileaks release a huge batch of emails 298 00:13:24,710 --> 00:13:22,740 from John podesta super connected super 299 00:13:27,710 --> 00:13:24,720 high up individual in the Hillary 300 00:13:30,410 --> 00:13:27,720 Clinton campaign now these emails are a 301 00:13:32,389 --> 00:13:30,420 bombshell they introduce us to this very 302 00:13:35,449 --> 00:13:32,399 weird occult practice called Spirit 303 00:13:37,430 --> 00:13:35,459 cooking they suggest John podesta's ties 304 00:13:40,009 --> 00:13:37,440 to the occult and even sex crimes 305 00:13:42,170 --> 00:13:40,019 against children and they suggest links 306 00:13:44,090 --> 00:13:42,180 between all these other folks political 307 00:13:46,550 --> 00:13:44,100 folks including this very influential 308 00:13:49,550 --> 00:13:46,560 guy in DC who happens to run a pizza 309 00:13:52,310 --> 00:13:49,560 shop I won't mention his name since he's 310 00:13:53,810 --> 00:13:52,320 been well known to threaten people with 311 00:13:55,069 --> 00:13:53,820 really bad things when his name is 312 00:13:56,269 --> 00:13:55,079 mentioned so I'm not going to mention 313 00:13:58,790 --> 00:13:56,279 his name 314 00:14:02,449 --> 00:13:58,800 but anyways the result of this Wikileaks 315 00:14:04,430 --> 00:14:02,459 email dump is that it spawns this huge 316 00:14:06,470 --> 00:14:04,440 open source investigation on the 317 00:14:08,569 --> 00:14:06,480 internet where thousands and thousands 318 00:14:10,990 --> 00:14:08,579 of posters are out there looking through 319 00:14:13,730 --> 00:14:11,000 the public records and trying to find 320 00:14:16,370 --> 00:14:13,740 correlating data to support or in some 321 00:14:18,470 --> 00:14:16,380 cases refute the conclusions that people 322 00:14:20,030 --> 00:14:18,480 are drawing from these emails so if 323 00:14:22,430 --> 00:14:20,040 you've never heard about open source 324 00:14:25,069 --> 00:14:22,440 investigations of this type I mean 325 00:14:27,230 --> 00:14:25,079 they're incredibly powerful and useful 326 00:14:29,090 --> 00:14:27,240 and no one can deny the kind of 327 00:14:30,889 --> 00:14:29,100 information that they bring forward some 328 00:14:33,050 --> 00:14:30,899 of it turns out to be garbage some of it 329 00:14:34,490 --> 00:14:33,060 turns out to be really valuable but hey 330 00:14:36,949 --> 00:14:34,500 that's the nature of any kind of 331 00:14:39,769 --> 00:14:36,959 Investigation let's bring it down to a 332 00:14:42,050 --> 00:14:39,779 concrete example the podesta emails 333 00:14:44,449 --> 00:14:42,060 contain all this coded speech about 334 00:14:46,610 --> 00:14:44,459 pizza and other things that everyone 335 00:14:49,730 --> 00:14:46,620 immediately was trying to figure out 336 00:14:52,310 --> 00:14:49,740 what it meant because it was clear these 337 00:14:55,310 --> 00:14:52,320 guys can't possibly be talking about 338 00:14:58,250 --> 00:14:55,320 their strange obsession with how thin 339 00:14:59,689 --> 00:14:58,260 you can slice pizza but the challenge 340 00:15:02,329 --> 00:14:59,699 for people who got interested in doing 341 00:15:04,730 --> 00:15:02,339 this open source investigation was can 342 00:15:07,250 --> 00:15:04,740 we find any data in the public domain 343 00:15:10,069 --> 00:15:07,260 that would add a little bit of substance 344 00:15:12,710 --> 00:15:10,079 to that suspicion and they did for 345 00:15:14,509 --> 00:15:12,720 example people found child porn message 346 00:15:16,970 --> 00:15:14,519 boards where people were using coded 347 00:15:19,009 --> 00:15:16,980 speech even using some of the same coded 348 00:15:21,530 --> 00:15:19,019 speech that they found in the podesta 349 00:15:23,870 --> 00:15:21,540 emails other people dug through the 350 00:15:26,090 --> 00:15:23,880 Twitter and Instagram posts that these 351 00:15:29,090 --> 00:15:26,100 guys were connected with and found all 352 00:15:32,110 --> 00:15:29,100 this really bizarre pedo related weird 353 00:15:35,150 --> 00:15:32,120 sexual stuff with all this pizza imagery 354 00:15:37,430 --> 00:15:35,160 attached to it and I don't want to or 355 00:15:39,949 --> 00:15:37,440 need to get real graphic here because 356 00:15:44,449 --> 00:15:39,959 it's still all out there it's very easy 357 00:15:47,269 --> 00:15:44,459 to find and it's way way over the top so 358 00:15:50,449 --> 00:15:47,279 if that's the data for the pedo thing we 359 00:15:52,970 --> 00:15:50,459 might ask where does it lead I mean does 360 00:15:54,650 --> 00:15:52,980 it lead to a criminal conviction of sex 361 00:15:57,050 --> 00:15:54,660 crimes against children for these people 362 00:15:58,670 --> 00:15:57,060 clearly not as you're about to here in 363 00:16:02,329 --> 00:15:58,680 the interview that I've done with 364 00:16:04,430 --> 00:16:02,339 undercover FBI agent Bob Hamer these are 365 00:16:07,249 --> 00:16:04,440 some of the most difficult crimes to get 366 00:16:08,629 --> 00:16:07,259 a conviction on but I'd like to 367 00:16:10,970 --> 00:16:08,639 establish that there's a different 368 00:16:12,650 --> 00:16:10,980 criteria here when we come to trying to 369 00:16:15,230 --> 00:16:12,660 measure this and let me throw it out 370 00:16:17,949 --> 00:16:15,240 there and see what you think would you 371 00:16:20,949 --> 00:16:17,959 let John podesta 372 00:16:25,069 --> 00:16:20,959 babysit your children 373 00:16:28,550 --> 00:16:25,079 would one out of a thousand people who 374 00:16:31,910 --> 00:16:28,560 isn't a registered sex offender let any 375 00:16:35,329 --> 00:16:31,920 of these people come close to any 376 00:16:38,990 --> 00:16:35,339 children they really care about 377 00:16:43,129 --> 00:16:39,000 no freaking way you know that I know 378 00:16:46,189 --> 00:16:43,139 that and in this case given that this is 379 00:16:49,310 --> 00:16:46,199 just the court of public opinion is that 380 00:16:52,069 --> 00:16:49,320 equivalent to maybe a peer-reviewed 381 00:16:56,329 --> 00:16:52,079 study of whether there is any real 382 00:16:59,629 --> 00:16:56,339 connection between these guys and really 383 00:17:00,949 --> 00:16:59,639 really inappropriate behavior involving 384 00:17:03,769 --> 00:17:00,959 children 385 00:17:05,809 --> 00:17:03,779 hey before I get off the data part of 386 00:17:08,090 --> 00:17:05,819 this thing let's talk about the data as 387 00:17:09,230 --> 00:17:08,100 it relates to the occult thing because I 388 00:17:13,789 --> 00:17:09,240 haven't really even talked about that 389 00:17:16,730 --> 00:17:13,799 because that is established I mean 390 00:17:19,189 --> 00:17:16,740 Mariana Abramovich the woman behind the 391 00:17:23,210 --> 00:17:19,199 whole Spirit cooking thing has publicly 392 00:17:25,610 --> 00:17:23,220 stated yeah this is occult stuff this is 393 00:17:28,130 --> 00:17:25,620 trying to Marshal and manage the 394 00:17:30,830 --> 00:17:28,140 energies of the spiritual world to get 395 00:17:32,810 --> 00:17:30,840 them to do things that you want them to 396 00:17:35,390 --> 00:17:32,820 do whether you deem that to be good or 397 00:17:37,430 --> 00:17:35,400 bad the the problem with her admission 398 00:17:38,930 --> 00:17:37,440 and why everyone wanted to reframe it 399 00:17:40,850 --> 00:17:38,940 and say oh no this is just performance 400 00:17:43,370 --> 00:17:40,860 art which by the way she says in that 401 00:17:45,770 --> 00:17:43,380 statement she goes look in an artistic 402 00:17:48,350 --> 00:17:45,780 setting it's performance art but all the 403 00:17:49,850 --> 00:17:48,360 rest of the time it's occult magic and 404 00:17:52,010 --> 00:17:49,860 anyone who's familiar with the cult 405 00:17:55,549 --> 00:17:52,020 magic looks at it for five seconds says 406 00:17:57,049 --> 00:17:55,559 that's occult magic the problem is what 407 00:17:58,490 --> 00:17:57,059 do you make of that what do you think 408 00:18:00,289 --> 00:17:58,500 about that do you think that's 409 00:18:01,970 --> 00:18:00,299 automatically satanic do you think 410 00:18:03,529 --> 00:18:01,980 that's automatically be bad do you think 411 00:18:05,570 --> 00:18:03,539 that's automatically a whole bunch of 412 00:18:08,450 --> 00:18:05,580 things and I want to put that to the 413 00:18:12,110 --> 00:18:08,460 side and instead focus on three things 414 00:18:15,110 --> 00:18:12,120 where I think that data leads one is 415 00:18:17,810 --> 00:18:15,120 that politically it's game over for 416 00:18:20,630 --> 00:18:17,820 anyone associated with that as we said 417 00:18:25,010 --> 00:18:20,640 you cannot like that but you can't be 418 00:18:28,010 --> 00:18:25,020 involved in crowling occult magic and be 419 00:18:29,750 --> 00:18:28,020 elected to high office it doesn't work 420 00:18:31,490 --> 00:18:29,760 so that's one conclusion we can 421 00:18:34,490 --> 00:18:31,500 definitely draw from the data and that 422 00:18:36,950 --> 00:18:34,500 can therefore explain why people with 423 00:18:38,510 --> 00:18:36,960 political aspirations have done 424 00:18:39,710 --> 00:18:38,520 everything they can to twist the story 425 00:18:42,289 --> 00:18:39,720 around and get away from the story 426 00:18:44,510 --> 00:18:42,299 because it's game over the second place 427 00:18:47,630 --> 00:18:44,520 it leads us which I just alluded to is 428 00:18:50,870 --> 00:18:47,640 that it is absolutely impossible for the 429 00:18:54,470 --> 00:18:50,880 atheist secular mainstream media to 430 00:18:57,710 --> 00:18:54,480 process the spiritual component of this 431 00:19:00,830 --> 00:18:57,720 I mean it's a blind spot the woman has 432 00:19:03,770 --> 00:19:00,840 said this is what I'm doing and they 433 00:19:06,169 --> 00:19:03,780 just ignore it because it doesn't fit 434 00:19:08,029 --> 00:19:06,179 within their world view but the third 435 00:19:09,590 --> 00:19:08,039 place it leads us is maybe the most 436 00:19:12,470 --> 00:19:09,600 obvious if you can get past the first 437 00:19:15,350 --> 00:19:12,480 two and that's that there are people who 438 00:19:18,950 --> 00:19:15,360 practice occult magic in order to affect 439 00:19:21,529 --> 00:19:18,960 things in this material world and until 440 00:19:23,930 --> 00:19:21,539 we can at least acknowledge that 441 00:19:26,450 --> 00:19:23,940 straight on then we're just going to 442 00:19:30,650 --> 00:19:26,460 kind of dance around in circles which is 443 00:19:33,049 --> 00:19:30,660 what you've seen a lot of already so if 444 00:19:36,830 --> 00:19:33,059 that's the data and if that's where the 445 00:19:40,370 --> 00:19:36,840 data leads then what's the conspiracy in 446 00:19:42,470 --> 00:19:40,380 the look for the conspiracy component of 447 00:19:44,390 --> 00:19:42,480 this analysis well there's really two 448 00:19:47,570 --> 00:19:44,400 that we need to talk about and the first 449 00:19:49,370 --> 00:19:47,580 one is rather obvious these emails were 450 00:19:51,590 --> 00:19:49,380 released four days before the U.S 451 00:19:54,890 --> 00:19:51,600 presidential election and they sunk 452 00:19:57,470 --> 00:19:54,900 Hillary's already sinking ship it's hard 453 00:19:58,850 --> 00:19:57,480 to believe that was an accident I mean 454 00:20:01,430 --> 00:19:58,860 when it comes to the U.S presidential 455 00:20:04,850 --> 00:20:01,440 elections voters do not stray too far 456 00:20:07,730 --> 00:20:04,860 from the Christian Motif if you will so 457 00:20:10,669 --> 00:20:07,740 any hints of occult related Spirit 458 00:20:12,649 --> 00:20:10,679 cooking stuff four days before the 459 00:20:15,830 --> 00:20:12,659 election was probably enough to sink 460 00:20:18,950 --> 00:20:15,840 Hillary if not then certainly the 461 00:20:20,029 --> 00:20:18,960 innuendo of child sex abuse among her 462 00:20:23,570 --> 00:20:20,039 staff 463 00:20:26,149 --> 00:20:23,580 sealed the deal so this is a conspiracy 464 00:20:29,090 --> 00:20:26,159 I don't know who's behind it or what the 465 00:20:31,250 --> 00:20:29,100 real agenda was but hey that's part of a 466 00:20:34,490 --> 00:20:31,260 conspiracy we're not supposed to know 467 00:20:36,230 --> 00:20:34,500 but there's a second conspiracy involved 468 00:20:38,990 --> 00:20:36,240 here that I want you to take a look at 469 00:20:41,570 --> 00:20:39,000 because while I've been rattling on 470 00:20:44,149 --> 00:20:41,580 about coded emails and open source 471 00:20:47,210 --> 00:20:44,159 investigations some of you have been 472 00:20:49,970 --> 00:20:47,220 thinking but wait a minute pizzagate is 473 00:20:53,149 --> 00:20:49,980 about some crazy guy who shot up a pizza 474 00:20:55,850 --> 00:20:53,159 restaurant that's pizzagate and in a way 475 00:20:59,149 --> 00:20:55,860 you're right because that's certainly 476 00:21:01,250 --> 00:20:59,159 what pizzagate has become any Google 477 00:21:04,490 --> 00:21:01,260 search will tell you that pizzagate is 478 00:21:07,789 --> 00:21:04,500 number one a debunked conspiracy theory 479 00:21:10,549 --> 00:21:07,799 and number two something that caused 480 00:21:13,669 --> 00:21:10,559 this wacky dangerous conspiracy theorist 481 00:21:17,210 --> 00:21:13,679 to shoot up a pizza restaurant and end 482 00:21:19,070 --> 00:21:17,220 of story move on but there's a couple of 483 00:21:21,710 --> 00:21:19,080 problems with this narrative 484 00:21:25,130 --> 00:21:21,720 first none of this was ever really 485 00:21:28,070 --> 00:21:25,140 debunked but Desta never explained his 486 00:21:31,730 --> 00:21:28,080 strangely coded emails why he enjoyed 487 00:21:33,590 --> 00:21:31,740 graphic pedophilia themed art and why he 488 00:21:35,930 --> 00:21:33,600 had close friends like serial child 489 00:21:38,690 --> 00:21:35,940 molester Dennis hastert around and 490 00:21:40,850 --> 00:21:38,700 continued to send him emails and then 491 00:21:43,070 --> 00:21:40,860 there's the thousands and thousands of 492 00:21:44,510 --> 00:21:43,080 posts I was talking about and documents 493 00:21:46,909 --> 00:21:44,520 uncovered in the open source 494 00:21:49,430 --> 00:21:46,919 investigation and interestingly and I 495 00:21:52,010 --> 00:21:49,440 never hear people mention this but that 496 00:21:55,010 --> 00:21:52,020 was all in the process of being shut 497 00:21:57,950 --> 00:21:55,020 down a couple days before 498 00:22:01,549 --> 00:21:57,960 shooting when Reddit without any 499 00:22:04,669 --> 00:22:01,559 precedent or explanation close this 500 00:22:06,890 --> 00:22:04,679 enormous pizzagate thread that had been 501 00:22:08,810 --> 00:22:06,900 accumulating then a few days later on 502 00:22:11,750 --> 00:22:08,820 December 4th there was the shooting in 503 00:22:13,370 --> 00:22:11,760 the pizza restaurant and most folks got 504 00:22:15,590 --> 00:22:13,380 the message and if they are 505 00:22:18,230 --> 00:22:15,600 investigating pizzagate they went 506 00:22:21,710 --> 00:22:18,240 running for cover and who can blame him 507 00:22:23,630 --> 00:22:21,720 right so let me with that wrap up this 508 00:22:27,770 --> 00:22:23,640 introduction and move on to my interview 509 00:22:29,570 --> 00:22:27,780 today with X undercover FBI agent Bob 510 00:22:31,610 --> 00:22:29,580 Hamer and I'm pretty confident that 511 00:22:33,710 --> 00:22:31,620 you'll see how this relates to all this 512 00:22:36,529 --> 00:22:33,720 crazy stuff I've been talking about here 513 00:22:38,450 --> 00:22:36,539 but just in case you don't I have a 514 00:22:41,090 --> 00:22:38,460 couple of additional thoughts that I'll 515 00:22:43,370 --> 00:22:41,100 throw out there in the wrap up after the 516 00:22:45,409 --> 00:22:43,380 interview here's my interview with Bob 517 00:22:50,750 --> 00:22:45,419 Hamer 518

as an attorney he 521 00:23:01,549 --> 00:22:59,220 tried cases ranging from murder to petty 522 00:23:04,070 --> 00:23:01,559 theft he's also an accomplished and 523 00:23:07,190 --> 00:23:04,080 award-winning author he's here today to 524 00:23:10,549 --> 00:23:07,200 talk about his book The Last Undercover 525 00:23:14,270 --> 00:23:10,559 the true story of an FBI agent's 526 00:23:15,950 --> 00:23:14,280 dangerous stance with evil and also we 527 00:23:19,250 --> 00:23:15,960 may talk about his work with the 528 00:23:21,529 --> 00:23:19,260 organization Veterans for child rescue 529 00:23:23,570 --> 00:23:21,539 Bob welcome to skeptico thank you so 530 00:23:26,330 --> 00:23:23,580 much for joining me Alex thanks for 531 00:23:29,750 --> 00:23:26,340 having me on I appreciate it so would 532 00:23:31,549 --> 00:23:29,760 you like to briefly add to that bio that 533 00:23:34,130 --> 00:23:31,559 I sketched out again maybe you can fill 534 00:23:36,169 --> 00:23:34,140 in some of the details particularly with 535 00:23:38,750 --> 00:23:36,179 some of your undercover work you did 536 00:23:42,230 --> 00:23:38,760 while in the FBI 537 00:23:44,810 --> 00:23:42,240 yeah I was really fortunate I I found my 538 00:23:46,850 --> 00:23:44,820 niche in the FBI I as you mentioned I 539 00:23:49,370 --> 00:23:46,860 spent four years on active duty in the 540 00:23:52,909 --> 00:23:49,380 Marine Corps and I was a Judge Advocate 541 00:23:54,769 --> 00:23:52,919 I was a lawyer I laughed because the 542 00:23:57,110 --> 00:23:54,779 Marines didn't consider me a marine and 543 00:24:00,409 --> 00:23:57,120 the lawyers didn't consider me a lawyer 544 00:24:02,390 --> 00:24:00,419 and even though I'd gone through the 545 00:24:04,810 --> 00:24:02,400 officer candidate school and the the 546 00:24:07,970 --> 00:24:04,820 six-month officer basic school 547 00:24:10,190 --> 00:24:07,980 I was assigned and then I was I had 548 00:24:11,690 --> 00:24:10,200 already attended law school but I was I 549 00:24:14,029 --> 00:24:11,700 was a Judge Advocate 550 00:24:16,190 --> 00:24:14,039 and the the Marines were going to allow 551 00:24:18,409 --> 00:24:16,200 me to change my MOS if I wanted to stay 552 00:24:21,890 --> 00:24:18,419 in and quite frankly I hated being a 553 00:24:23,870 --> 00:24:21,900 lawyer I mean every case we had it was 554 00:24:26,390 --> 00:24:23,880 always a procedural issue I kind of grew 555 00:24:28,850 --> 00:24:26,400 up in that Perry Mason generation where 556 00:24:30,110 --> 00:24:28,860 I assumed everyone was innocent and at 557 00:24:32,450 --> 00:24:30,120 some point during the middle of the 558 00:24:34,490 --> 00:24:32,460 trial some guy came barreling through 559 00:24:36,649 --> 00:24:34,500 the back door going I did it I did it 560 00:24:38,990 --> 00:24:36,659 but everybody was guilty it was just a 561 00:24:40,909 --> 00:24:39,000 matter of of whether procedurally you 562 00:24:43,430 --> 00:24:40,919 could convict them so whether you were 563 00:24:45,769 --> 00:24:43,440 on the the prosecution side of the table 564 00:24:47,570 --> 00:24:45,779 or the defense side it was whether the 565 00:24:50,630 --> 00:24:47,580 search was legal whether the confession 566 00:24:53,450 --> 00:24:50,640 is admissible and I just I was bored 567 00:24:56,510 --> 00:24:53,460 stiff in the courtroom uh I fortunately 568 00:25:01,190 --> 00:24:56,520 for me the FBI was looking for lawyers 569 00:25:04,190 --> 00:25:01,200 and I applied and and got in and man I 570 00:25:07,549 --> 00:25:04,200 I I loved it and I quickly within about 571 00:25:09,649 --> 00:25:07,559 six months of being within the FBI I had 572 00:25:11,570 --> 00:25:09,659 my first undercover assignment and man I 573 00:25:16,190 --> 00:25:11,580 I was hooked then I had that adrenaline 574 00:25:18,769 --> 00:25:16,200 rush and I spent many of my 26 years in 575 00:25:19,970 --> 00:25:18,779 the bureau in undercover capacity so 576 00:25:32,870 --> 00:25:19,980 I've 577 00:25:35,510 --> 00:25:32,880 dealer I mean I played all the different 578 00:25:37,909 --> 00:25:35,520 roles I always said I'd been to about 12 579 00:25:41,210 --> 00:25:37,919 different personalities and enjoyed 580 00:25:43,610 --> 00:25:41,220 every one of them fascinating so uh tell 581 00:25:46,250 --> 00:25:43,620 us in particular about this book 582 00:25:55,490 --> 00:25:46,260 in the case that's behind it the last 583 00:25:58,909 --> 00:25:57,529 a lot of Defense counsel claimed I was a 584 00:26:01,190 --> 00:25:58,919 great fiction writer but they were 585 00:26:03,169 --> 00:26:01,200 always referring to my affidavits that I 586 00:26:05,870 --> 00:26:03,179 wrote against their clients but I really 587 00:26:08,029 --> 00:26:05,880 didn't have any desire to to write a 588 00:26:10,310 --> 00:26:08,039 book but I got involved in an 589 00:26:12,169 --> 00:26:10,320 organization called NAMBLA and it's the 590 00:26:14,390 --> 00:26:12,179 North American man boy love Association 591 00:26:16,750 --> 00:26:14,400 you got involved through your work as a 592 00:26:20,630 --> 00:26:16,760 specialization yeah yeah yeah 593 00:26:22,850 --> 00:26:20,640 as an FBI agent and a lot of people 594 00:26:24,710 --> 00:26:22,860 always thought it was a joke it was an 595 00:26:26,870 --> 00:26:24,720 episode on South Park I know Howard 596 00:26:28,970 --> 00:26:26,880 Stern used to talk about it and I I 597 00:26:30,610 --> 00:26:28,980 believe people thought oh there can't be 598 00:26:34,370 --> 00:26:30,620 such an organization 599 00:26:38,330 --> 00:26:34,380 that exists like this well there really 600 00:26:40,310 --> 00:26:38,340 was uh my involvement with NAMBLA 601 00:26:44,510 --> 00:26:40,320 originally started 602 00:26:46,070 --> 00:26:44,520 kind of sort of by the back door uh one 603 00:26:48,110 --> 00:26:46,080 of the one of the fun things about 604 00:26:50,510 --> 00:26:48,120 working undercover is you have to assume 605 00:26:51,590 --> 00:26:50,520 a variety of roles which means you've 606 00:26:54,649 --> 00:26:51,600 got to be 607 00:26:58,070 --> 00:26:54,659 strong enough and smart enough to to 608 00:27:00,049 --> 00:26:58,080 play a role that is believable so at 609 00:27:02,210 --> 00:27:00,059 various times I mean at one point I was 610 00:27:03,830 --> 00:27:02,220 kind of an expert on Western Art I'd 611 00:27:05,570 --> 00:27:03,840 forgotten everything about it that I 612 00:27:08,149 --> 00:27:05,580 learned for that particular undercover 613 00:27:11,029 --> 00:27:08,159 assignment I've had to learn about 614 00:27:14,149 --> 00:27:11,039 specific weapons or about Investments or 615 00:27:16,130 --> 00:27:14,159 about real estate uh just depending upon 616 00:27:19,250 --> 00:27:16,140 what the undercover role was 617 00:27:22,430 --> 00:27:19,260 well in this particular case uh the FBI 618 00:27:24,830 --> 00:27:22,440 had invested in uh arrested a guy back 619 00:27:26,810 --> 00:27:24,840 in Knoxville Tennessee who had been 620 00:27:29,090 --> 00:27:26,820 involved in child

00:28:47,510 --> 00:28:45,240 understand in the FBI it's not like 652 00:28:50,330 --> 00:28:47,520 television the supervisor doesn't walk 653 00:28:52,190 --> 00:28:50,340 out into the squad Bay and says hey who 654 00:28:53,930 --> 00:28:52,200 wants to be a pedophile today and you 655 00:28:56,210 --> 00:28:53,940 know some guy raises his hand and said 656 00:28:59,810 --> 00:28:56,220 okay you're going to go undercover as a 657 00:29:00,889 --> 00:28:59,820 pedophile in the bureau there were 658 00:29:04,070 --> 00:29:00,899 probably 659 00:29:06,250 --> 00:29:04,080 12 13 000 agents depending on what 660 00:29:08,930 --> 00:29:06,260 period of time we're talking about 661 00:29:12,169 --> 00:29:08,940 only those that are certified to work 662 00:29:14,690 --> 00:29:12,179 undercover can do the undercover work so 663 00:29:17,630 --> 00:29:14,700 typically there may only be a hundred to 664 00:29:20,510 --> 00:29:17,640 150 agents that are certified to work 665 00:29:23,570 --> 00:29:20,520 undercover not every FBI wants to work 666 00:29:26,090 --> 00:29:23,580 undercover a lot of great agents have no 667 00:29:27,830 --> 00:29:26,100 desire to work undercover some agents 668 00:29:29,870 --> 00:29:27,840 that apply for the undercover program 669 00:29:32,389 --> 00:29:29,880 can't get through the initial screening 670 00:29:35,090 --> 00:29:32,399 process then there's a two-week 671 00:29:37,850 --> 00:29:35,100 in-service that the bureau wants you to 672 00:29:39,409 --> 00:29:37,860 think it's like buds training or Boot 673 00:29:42,049 --> 00:29:39,419 Camp or Marine Corps officer candidate 674 00:29:45,049 --> 00:29:42,059 school it's it's not but a lot of guys 675 00:29:46,909 --> 00:29:45,059 can't get to that two-week undercover 676 00:29:49,370 --> 00:29:46,919 in-service that they have because they 677 00:29:51,769 --> 00:29:49,380 it's stressful and they they want to see 678 00:29:53,810 --> 00:29:51,779 how you react to stress and then guys 679 00:29:56,210 --> 00:29:53,820 that graduate that are certified to work 680 00:29:57,950 --> 00:29:56,220 undercover may only work one or two 681 00:30:00,769 --> 00:29:57,960 assignments because they don't like the 682 00:30:03,769 --> 00:30:00,779 hours they don't like the pressure they 683 00:30:06,649 --> 00:30:03,779 move up in management so it at any one 684 00:30:09,070 --> 00:30:06,659 time there may only be 100 to 150 people 685 00:30:11,389 --> 00:30:09,080 that are certified to work undercover 686 00:30:14,149 --> 00:30:11,399 and there weren't a whole lot of us on 687 00:30:17,330 --> 00:30:14,159 the on the east or on the West Coast 688 00:30:19,130 --> 00:30:17,340 so I like the joke that towards the end 689 00:30:21,649 --> 00:30:19,140 of my career I was getting all the IOU 690 00:30:23,810 --> 00:30:21,659 assignments if they needed somebody that 691 00:30:25,130 --> 00:30:23,820 was impotent old or ugly they were 692 00:30:28,850 --> 00:30:25,140 calling on me 693 00:30:31,370 --> 00:30:28,860 and that's so that's that's how I got 694 00:30:33,830 --> 00:30:31,380 involved I was contacted because I was a 695 00:30:35,930 --> 00:30:33,840 certified undercover agent do you want 696 00:30:38,389 --> 00:30:35,940 to work this travel agent case 697 00:30:41,149 --> 00:30:38,399 well let's talk about this topic a 698 00:30:43,250 --> 00:30:41,159 little bit though because you know I 699 00:30:45,409 --> 00:30:43,260 understand you're you're you're joking 700 00:30:47,990 --> 00:30:45,419 with it and and we gotta kind of lighten 701 00:30:51,350 --> 00:30:48,000 it up a little bit because sex crimes 702 00:30:53,389 --> 00:30:51,360 against children is something that a lot 703 00:30:55,010 --> 00:30:53,399 of people just won't talk about I mean 704 00:30:57,649 --> 00:30:55,020 if you want to clear a room 705 00:30:59,509 --> 00:30:57,659 talk about 10 year olds boys being raped 706 00:31:02,750 --> 00:30:59,519 by 50 year old men 707 00:31:04,909 --> 00:31:02,760 but I I guess I think that you know the 708 00:31:07,730 --> 00:31:04,919 whole reason we're having this dialogue 709 00:31:11,149 --> 00:31:07,740 here and I suspect that part of the 710 00:31:14,690 --> 00:31:11,159 reason why you wrote this book is that 711 00:31:17,570 --> 00:31:14,700 it is something we have to face or we 712 00:31:20,029 --> 00:31:17,580 wind up with all sorts of craziness 713 00:31:22,310 --> 00:31:20,039 where otherwise intelligent well-meaning 714 00:31:25,549 --> 00:31:22,320 people are saying some just rather 715 00:31:28,549 --> 00:31:25,559 ridiculous stuff that sounds like it's 716 00:31:32,029 --> 00:31:28,559 in defense of this Behavior or somehow 717 00:31:34,370 --> 00:31:32,039 normalizing it or minimizing it do you 718 00:31:36,889 --> 00:31:34,380 have any sense do you have any feeling 719 00:31:38,870 --> 00:31:36,899 after going through this that that that 720 00:31:41,509 --> 00:31:38,880 does that bug you when you see that 721 00:31:43,310 --> 00:31:41,519 going on or do you see that going on oh 722 00:31:46,130 --> 00:31:43,320 you're no you're absolutely right you 723 00:31:50,990 --> 00:31:46,140 you you're spot on with with your 724 00:31:53,870 --> 00:31:51,000 evaluation uh the the book was written 725 00:31:55,730 --> 00:31:53,880 because I was so disgusted by this 726 00:31:57,830 --> 00:31:55,740 undercover assignment I've had more 727 00:31:59,990 --> 00:31:57,840 dangerous assignments I've had a 728 00:32:02,990 --> 00:32:00,000 contract put out on my life I've shot 729 00:32:04,850 --> 00:32:03,000 people I've been shot at I've I've 730 00:32:07,730 --> 00:32:04,860 I was the undercover agent in the La 731

I mean I've been 734 00:32:17,750 --> 00:32:15,120 involved in some pretty dangerous 735 00:32:19,669 --> 00:32:17,760 undercover assignments but this was my 736 00:32:22,070 --> 00:32:19,679 most disgusting assignment and this was 737 00:32:24,409 --> 00:32:22,080 my most difficult assignment and having 738 00:32:27,409 --> 00:32:24,419 to spend three years in the organization 739 00:32:29,450 --> 00:32:27,419 not on a daily basis when I was meeting 740 00:32:32,870 --> 00:32:29,460 with these people but 741 00:32:34,549 --> 00:32:32,880 over a three-year period conversing with 742 00:32:36,649 --> 00:32:34,559 them meeting with them face to face 743 00:32:38,990 --> 00:32:36,659 writing letters to those that were in 744 00:32:41,570 --> 00:32:39,000 prison and eventually convicting eight 745 00:32:45,049 --> 00:32:41,580 members of the group Center Circle I was 746 00:32:47,509 --> 00:32:45,059 so disgusted by what I had seen uh so 747 00:32:49,789 --> 00:32:47,519 disturbed by the communications that I 748 00:32:51,830 --> 00:32:49,799 had with these men listening to them 749 00:32:54,769 --> 00:32:51,840 tell about what they had done to kids 750 00:32:57,049 --> 00:32:54,779 what they wanted to do to little boys I 751 00:32:59,870 --> 00:32:57,059 needed to write about this maybe for 752 00:33:01,970 --> 00:32:59,880 catharsism on my part but really to 753 00:33:04,549 --> 00:33:01,980 expose the world to let the world know 754 00:33:05,630 --> 00:33:04,559 about this boy loved her boy lover 755 00:33:07,070 --> 00:33:05,640 agenda 756 00:33:09,769 --> 00:33:07,080 and 757 00:33:11,330 --> 00:33:09,779 the book I mean a lot of people can't 758 00:33:13,850 --> 00:33:11,340 read the book you're absolutely right 759 00:33:15,649 --> 00:33:13,860 it's like oh I don't I want to I I want 760 00:33:18,470 --> 00:33:15,659 to bury my head in the sand and I don't 761 00:33:22,070 --> 00:33:18,480 even want to talk about this and now you 762 00:33:24,470 --> 00:33:22,080 are seeing this whole pedophilia is is 763 00:33:27,590 --> 00:33:24,480 becoming the next civil rights issue 764 00:33:29,389 --> 00:33:27,600 yeah and and that's that's strange and I 765 00:33:31,130 --> 00:33:29,399 think I want to explore that stop and 766 00:33:33,529 --> 00:33:31,140 explore that for a minute because I do 767 00:33:35,990 --> 00:33:33,539 get the sense that that there are some 768 00:33:38,810 --> 00:33:36,000 you know in intelligent otherwise 769 00:33:41,750 --> 00:33:38,820 intelligent well-meaning people who just 770 00:33:43,430 --> 00:33:41,760 kind of gets vapor lock on this I'll 771 00:33:45,350 --> 00:33:43,440 give you a small example you know I was 772 00:33:48,950 --> 00:33:45,360 working on an interview with the show 773 00:33:50,870 --> 00:33:48,960 and I was in contact with a woman who 774 00:33:52,669 --> 00:33:50,880 was the co-author with someone who'd 775 00:33:55,610 --> 00:33:52,679 been on the show and I like and respect 776 00:33:57,769 --> 00:33:55,620 and we started talking a little bit 777 00:33:59,389 --> 00:33:57,779 about this prominent political figure 778 00:34:01,909 --> 00:33:59,399 that was linked to this kind of 779 00:34:04,730 --> 00:34:01,919 pedophilia sex crime thing and the net 780 00:34:07,070 --> 00:34:04,740 result is she says I think that what 781 00:34:10,730 --> 00:34:07,080 goes on between people in the bedroom 782 00:34:13,930 --> 00:34:10,740 should be private and I was like no wait 783 00:34:18,649 --> 00:34:13,940 a minute no sane person equates 784 00:34:20,329 --> 00:34:18,659 that statement with pedophilia yet I get 785 00:34:23,569 --> 00:34:20,339 the sense and I'd like to get your view 786 00:34:26,930 --> 00:34:23,579 on this that there it's kind of been 787 00:34:29,030 --> 00:34:26,940 mixed up in our culture in in the way 788 00:34:31,430 --> 00:34:29,040 the media communicates it to where 789 00:34:33,409 --> 00:34:31,440 people actually kind of say things like 790 00:34:34,730 --> 00:34:33,419 that without really kind of thinking it 791 00:34:38,149 --> 00:34:34,740 through 792 00:34:41,030 --> 00:34:38,159 well I agree with you I hope that she 793 00:34:43,550 --> 00:34:41,040 wasn't thinking it through but as I saw 794 00:34:45,290 --> 00:34:43,560 in NAMBLA now you have to understand the 795 00:34:49,909 --> 00:34:45,300 whole purpose of the North American man 796 00:34:53,149 --> 00:34:49,919 boy love Association it's it is a 501c 797 00:34:55,069 --> 00:34:53,159 I think I shouldn't say that it is an 798 00:34:58,910 --> 00:34:55,079 organization that is protected by the 799 00:35:01,250 --> 00:34:58,920 First Amendment because they're on paper 800 00:35:03,410 --> 00:35:01,260 their mission is to abolish age of 801 00:35:06,290 --> 00:35:03,420 consent laws explain that a little bit 802 00:35:07,550 --> 00:35:06,300 okay yeah I I'm so your listeners 803 00:35:11,210 --> 00:35:07,560 understand 804 00:35:14,390 --> 00:35:11,220 uh most Nations every state in the 805 00:35:17,630 --> 00:35:14,400 United States has a minimum age of 806 00:35:22,010 --> 00:35:17,640 consent law in other words if you if an 807 00:35:23,810 --> 00:35:22,020 adult has sex with an 18 year old if a 808 00:35:26,810 --> 00:35:23,820 50 year old man has sex with an 18 year 809 00:35:30,410 --> 00:35:26,820 old that's okay if the age of consent 810 00:35:33,829 --> 00:35:30,420 law is 18. now what you see in NAMBLA 811 00:35:37,370 --> 00:35:33,839 was their mission was to abolish the age 812 00:35:40,609 --> 00:35:37,380 of consent law uh they wanted to just do 813 00:35:43,490 --> 00:35:40,619 away with it completely and say look if 814 00:35:46,550 --> 00:35:43,500 two consenting people are doing this 815 00:35:48,890 --> 00:35:46,560 then it's okay now let's let's take it 816 00:35:50,390 --> 00:35:48,900 one step further when you hear that on 817 00:35:53,690 --> 00:35:50,400 the surface two consenting people 818 00:35:55,190 --> 00:35:53,700 similar to what your your guest said you 819 00:35:57,349 --> 00:35:55,200 know what people do in the bedroom is 820 00:36:00,170 --> 00:35:57,359 okay so if when we're talking about two 821 00:36:02,210 --> 00:36:00,180 consenting people we're talking about uh 822 00:36:04,310 --> 00:36:02,220 two 30 year olds or a 40 year old and a 823 00:36:06,349 --> 00:36:04,320 20 year old you know that's that's one 824 00:36:08,810 --> 00:36:06,359 thing uh NAMBLA talks about 825 00:36:11,270 --> 00:36:08,820 intergenerational sex so you think about 826 00:36:13,970 --> 00:36:11,280 uh 50 year old and a 30 year old okay 827 00:36:17,690 --> 00:36:13,980 that's that's fine but they want to 828 00:36:20,329 --> 00:36:17,700 abolish all age of consent so they 829 00:36:23,270 --> 00:36:20,339 believe that as long as you're 830 00:36:25,430 --> 00:36:23,280 consenting regardless of your age it 831 00:36:27,650 --> 00:36:25,440 should be okay Bob let me just interject 832 00:36:29,390 --> 00:36:27,660 two things here so we don't get too far 833 00:36:31,069 --> 00:36:29,400 afield I want people to understand the 834 00:36:34,609 --> 00:36:31,079 case that you investigated you 835 00:36:37,130 --> 00:36:34,619 investigated men like 40 50 year old men 836 00:36:40,130 --> 00:36:37,140 who were planning to have sex with 10 837 00:36:42,170 --> 00:36:40,140 year old boys right exactly yeah so so 838 00:36:44,089 --> 00:36:42,180 you know I mean we can get into the 839 00:36:46,430 --> 00:36:44,099 legal technicalities and stuff like that 840 00:36:47,630 --> 00:36:46,440 I mean we gotta I think we gotta kind of 841 00:36:49,370 --> 00:36:47,640 come down to that and understand you 842 00:36:51,650 --> 00:36:49,380 know there's all this gray area about 843 00:36:54,050 --> 00:36:51,660 consent and we hear about these horror 844 00:36:58,190 --> 00:36:54,060 stories of you know people who do wind 845 00:37:00,770 --> 00:36:58,200 up in a situation that we can have 846 00:37:03,109 --> 00:37:00,780 empathy for I'm a dad I don't know about 847 00:37:05,210 --> 00:37:03,119 you I have four kids I remember when my 848 00:37:08,329 --> 00:37:05,220 boys were 10 year olds I remember when 849 00:37:11,210 --> 00:37:08,339 my girls were 10 year olds the idea of 850 00:37:13,730 --> 00:37:11,220 someone raping them at that age or 851 00:37:16,970 --> 00:37:13,740 somehow tricking them and uh you know if 852 00:37:19,910 --> 00:37:16,980 that I mean it's it's Soul crushing it's 853 00:37:21,530 --> 00:37:19,920 psyche crushing I mean so one to be 854 00:37:23,450 --> 00:37:21,540 clear that's what you're investigating 855 00:37:24,890 --> 00:37:23,460 you weren't getting into 15 year olds or 856 00:37:26,930 --> 00:37:24,900 something I wasn't getting into 15 year 857 00:37:29,450 --> 00:37:26,940 olds I'm just trying to give the 858 00:37:31,490 --> 00:37:29,460 listeners an idea of where where the 859 00:37:33,770 --> 00:37:31,500 line is drawn and the other thing is 860 00:37:35,450 --> 00:37:33,780 that the NAMBLA thing is [\h__\h] right 861 00:37:38,050 --> 00:37:35,460 I mean it was [\h__\h] they're not 862 00:37:39,829 --> 00:37:38,060 really interested in that 863 00:37:41,750 --> 00:37:39,839 NAMBLA 864 00:37:46,010 --> 00:37:41,760 during my three years there was no 865 00:37:47,990 --> 00:37:46,020 effort at any time to abolish age of 866 00:37:53,150 --> 00:37:48,000 consent laws there was no legislative 867 00:37:54,829 --> 00:37:53,160 effort there was no no uh movement to 868 00:37:57,230 --> 00:37:54,839 write letters to your Congressman or 869 00:37:59,750 --> 00:37:57,240 your legislators all this organization 870 00:38:02,030 --> 00:37:59,760 was designed to do was for like-minded 871 00:38:03,710 --> 00:38:02,040 men to get together and to talk about 872 00:38:05,990 --> 00:38:03,720 where they could go to have sex with 873 00:38:07,790 --> 00:38:06,000 little boys and how they could seduce 874 00:38:10,130 --> 00:38:07,800 little boys that was the whole purpose 875 00:38:12,710 --> 00:38:10,140 of this organization even though on 876 00:38:15,050 --> 00:38:12,720 paper it was to abolish the age of 877 00:38:18,470 --> 00:38:15,060 consent laws that kind of leads into 878 00:38:20,510 --> 00:38:18,480 what I really wanted to accomplish along 879 00:38:22,609 --> 00:38:20,520 with telling people about this book and 880 00:38:25,670 --> 00:38:22,619 these other organizations that you're a 881 00:38:28,130 --> 00:38:25,680 part of to try and help improve this 882 00:38:31,130 --> 00:38:28,140 situation is I want to tap into your 883 00:38:33,109 --> 00:38:31,140 expertise and experience in working on 884 00:38:34,609 --> 00:38:33,119 these crimes I mean be clear that there 885 00:38:38,630 --> 00:38:34,619 are that they're crimes we're talking 886 00:38:40,670 --> 00:38:38,640 about crimes but maybe to dispel some of 887 00:38:43,670 --> 00:38:40,680 these myths and it the same time 888 00:38:46,069 --> 00:38:43,680 Identify some of the patterns that go 889 00:38:49,970 --> 00:38:46,079 along with this criminal Behavior tell 890 00:38:51,710 --> 00:38:49,980 folks about the Toys R Us story 891 00:38:54,589 --> 00:38:51,720 yeah I 892 00:38:57,770 --> 00:38:54,599 first joined the organization it was it 893 00:38:59,270 --> 00:38:57,780 was to provide me backstopping for this 894 00:39:01,550 --> 00:38:59,280 travel agent case that we were 895 00:39:03,230 --> 00:39:01,560 investigating so I was I was trying to 896 00:39:05,270 --> 00:39:03,240 figure out okay this is a boy lover 897 00:39:07,370 --> 00:39:05,280 movement I've got to think like them 898 00:39:09,410 --> 00:39:07,380 I've got to talk like them I've got a 899 00:39:11,810 --> 00:39:09,420 I've got to convince this travel agent 900 00:39:13,550 --> 00:39:11,820 that one is one that I'm one of them so 901 00:39:15,890 --> 00:39:13,560 I joined NAMBLA I mean during my 902 00:39:18,530 --> 00:39:15,900 research I come across NAMBLA as an 903 00:39:20,210 --> 00:39:18,540 organization you can send in 35 and now 904 00:39:23,390 --> 00:39:20,220 you're essentially a card carrying 905 00:39:25,730 --> 00:39:23,400 member so I joined the organization soon 906 00:39:28,430 --> 00:39:25,740 after I had joined I received some 907 00:39:29,870 --> 00:39:28,440 emails we have prisoners we have members 908 00:39:32,510 --> 00:39:29,880 that are in prison can you send 909 00:39:34,849 --> 00:39:32,520 Christmas cards to our imprisoned 910 00:39:36,230 --> 00:39:34,859 members so I sent Christmas cards then 911 00:39:38,210 --> 00:39:36,240 it was like well we have a pen pal 912 00:39:40,250 --> 00:39:38,220 program can you write letters so I 913 00:39:42,349 --> 00:39:40,260 started corresponding with some of these 914 00:39:45,530 --> 00:39:42,359 members and the correspondence for the 915 00:39:47,450 --> 00:39:45,540 most part was disgusting now I find out 916 00:39:50,810 --> 00:39:47,460 that they were having their their 917 00:39:52,609 --> 00:39:50,820 national meeting in San Francisco I have 918 00:39:54,589 --> 00:39:52,619 to understand Alex when this first 919 00:39:56,510 --> 00:39:54,599 organization first started they had very 920 00:39:58,010 --> 00:39:56,520 open meetings and they wrote they were 921 00:40:01,430 --> 00:39:58,020 meeting in libraries and public 922 00:40:03,650 --> 00:40:01,440 buildings because it was deemed part of 923 00:40:05,210 --> 00:40:03,660 this sexual Revolution and a movement 924 00:40:07,490 --> 00:40:05,220 that was part of the sexual Revolution 925 00:40:09,710 --> 00:40:07,500 they were marching in the Gay Pride 926 00:40:13,309 --> 00:40:09,720 parades and openly Marching In Those 927 00:40:16,069 --> 00:40:13,319 parades then there was a Groundswell to 928 00:40:18,470 --> 00:40:16,079 that forced this group to go essentially 929 00:40:20,510 --> 00:40:18,480 underground so these meetings I wanted 930 00:40:22,609 --> 00:40:20,520 to go to this meeting in San Francisco I 931 00:40:24,349 --> 00:40:22,619 was told no you haven't been a member 932 00:40:27,109 --> 00:40:24,359 long enough and you have to be sponsored 933 00:40:29,089 --> 00:40:27,119 by another member usually it takes three 934 00:40:31,730 --> 00:40:29,099 years before we'll invite you to one of 935 00:40:34,190 --> 00:40:31,740 our our meetings because they'd had so 936 00:40:37,490 --> 00:40:34,200 much exposure so much adverse exposure 937 00:40:39,770 --> 00:40:37,500 in the past when I finally get invited 938 00:40:42,530 --> 00:40:39,780 and what happened was I I was working on 939 00:40:45,490 --> 00:40:42,540 the joint terrorism task force but I was 940 00:40:47,630 --> 00:40:45,500 still in this organization uh I was 941 00:40:49,809 --> 00:40:47,640 corresponding with the members I was 942 00:40:52,490 --> 00:40:49,819 sending them Christmas cards I wrote 943 00:40:54,710 --> 00:40:52,500 articles for their magazine the NAMBLA 944 00:40:57,109 --> 00:40:54,720 bulletin all of a sudden I get invited 945 00:40:59,569 --> 00:40:57,119 to their New York meeting that they were 946 00:41:01,670 --> 00:40:59,579 having the next year so San Francisco I 947 00:41:03,349 --> 00:41:01,680 wasn't invited to now when they have 948 00:41:06,470 --> 00:41:03,359 their New York meeting I'm invited to 949 00:41:09,710 --> 00:41:06,480 that and it's over Veterans Day weekend 950 00:41:11,569 --> 00:41:09,720 I go back to New York we meet at Grand 951 00:41:14,750 --> 00:41:11,579 Central Station now as I mentioned 952 00:41:17,809 --> 00:41:14,760 before I've targeted some pretty tough 953 00:41:19,910 --> 00:41:17,819 organizations the mafia Asian organized 954 00:41:22,609 --> 00:41:19,920 crime groups Russian organized crime 955 00:41:26,270 --> 00:41:22,619 groups street gangs I've never met a 956 00:41:28,250 --> 00:41:26,280 more paranoid group than this so our 957 00:41:30,230 --> 00:41:28,260 initial meeting on Friday night we were 958 00:41:32,809 --> 00:41:30,240 to meet at Grand Central Station at the 959 00:41:34,609 --> 00:41:32,819 Dining Concourse they weren't going to 960 00:41:37,309 --> 00:41:34,619 announce where the meeting was taking 961 00:41:41,510 --> 00:41:37,319 place until that night they didn't want 962 00:41:44,809 --> 00:41:41,520 to give law enforcement any chance to 963 00:41:46,550 --> 00:41:44,819 set up and raid the meeting or or take 964 00:41:48,650 --> 00:41:46,560 photographs of those members who were 965 00:41:50,809 --> 00:41:48,660 going into the meeting and everything so 966 00:41:51,950 --> 00:41:50,819 that's that's their security was was 967 00:41:53,750 --> 00:41:51,960 that tight 968 00:41:56,930 --> 00:41:53,760 well that night while we were in the 969 00:42:00,530 --> 00:41:56,940 Grand Central Station uh congregating 970 00:42:02,089 --> 00:42:00,540 around the kind of the leader of the 971 00:42:04,910 --> 00:42:02,099 group they don't have a president but 972 00:42:06,589 --> 00:42:04,920 kind of the guy who's take charge of the 973 00:42:10,670 --> 00:42:06,599 organization was a fellow named Peter 974 00:42:12,410 --> 00:42:10,680 melzer he was a school teacher back in 975 00:42:15,230 --> 00:42:12,420 New York City before he got fired 976 00:42:18,589 --> 00:42:15,240 because of his associations with NAMBLA 977 00:42:21,349 --> 00:42:18,599 uh he asked if we want to take a tour of 978 00:42:23,089 --> 00:42:21,359 Times Square so we begin this walk from 979 00:42:24,050 --> 00:42:23,099 Grand Central Station down to Times 980 00:42:27,650 --> 00:42:24,060 Square 981 00:42:29,750 --> 00:42:27,660 and as we are getting closer I can begin 982 00:42:34,430 --> 00:42:29,760 to feel the excitement I mean it's like 983 00:42:38,270 --> 00:42:34,440 going to a USC football game or uh uh 984 00:42:39,589 --> 00:42:38,280 you could you could sense the sort of 985 00:42:42,349 --> 00:42:39,599 this excitement on the part of the 986 00:42:44,150 --> 00:42:42,359 members and all of a sudden we come to 987 00:42:47,150 --> 00:42:44,160 Toys R Us 988 00:42:50,150 --> 00:42:47,160 and these guys as we walk in they run to 989 00:42:52,550 --> 00:42:50,160 the railing and Toys R Us is closed now 990 00:42:55,609 --> 00:42:52,560 in in Times Square but they had a 991 00:42:58,250 --> 00:42:55,619 60-foot indoor Ferris wheel and these 992 00:43:00,710 --> 00:42:58,260 men ran to the railing and stood at the 993 00:43:03,829 --> 00:43:00,720 railing and watched these boys going 994 00:43:06,410 --> 00:43:03,839 around on the ferris wheel and pointing 995 00:43:08,329 --> 00:43:06,420 out the different boys based upon what 996 00:43:10,430 --> 00:43:08,339 clothes they were wearing and talking 997 00:43:12,770 --> 00:43:10,440 about oh that kid in the number 32 998 00:43:14,630 --> 00:43:12,780 Jersey this is what I'd like to do with 999 00:43:17,210 --> 00:43:14,640 them and we're getting pretty explicit 1000 00:43:20,809 --> 00:43:17,220 with the sex acts that they wanted to do 1001 00:43:23,569 --> 00:43:20,819 to these little boys and I I say this uh 1002 00:43:25,970 --> 00:43:23,579 had I not been undercover had I walked 1003 00:43:27,530 --> 00:43:25,980 past them and heard these men talking 1004 00:43:29,690 --> 00:43:27,540 like that I would have thrown them off 1005 00:43:32,510 --> 00:43:29,700 the railing I mean it was so disgusting 1006 00:43:34,870 --> 00:43:32,520 what they were doing and it it 1007 00:43:37,069 --> 00:43:34,880 demonstrated to me that parents 1008 00:43:41,870 --> 00:43:37,079 well-meaning parents who'd brought their 1009 00:43:44,329 --> 00:43:41,880 P their children to a public arena with 1010 00:43:46,730 --> 00:43:44,339 providing eye candy for these pedophiles 1011 00:43:48,950 --> 00:43:46,740 and these these sick perverts talking 1012 00:43:50,690 --> 00:43:48,960 about what they really want to do to 1013 00:43:51,710 --> 00:43:50,700 these little boys and this is not a 1014 00:43:56,630 --> 00:43:51,720 crime 1015 00:43:59,089 --> 00:43:56,640 acting out upon it they were just saying 1016 00:44:01,849 --> 00:43:59,099 what they wanted to do you see because I 1017 00:44:05,150 --> 00:44:01,859 think we can spend a lot of time in 1018 00:44:07,550 --> 00:44:05,160 energy worrying about what's a crime now 1019 00:44:09,710 --> 00:44:07,560 I realize this FBI special agent for the 1020 00:44:11,270 --> 00:44:09,720 FBI that's your job as an attorney 1021 00:44:13,550 --> 00:44:11,280 working with the district attorney 1022 00:44:14,870 --> 00:44:13,560 that's your job you know like you said 1023 00:44:17,030 --> 00:44:14,880 earlier about one of the things you 1024 00:44:18,470 --> 00:44:17,040 disliked about being a lawyer it seemed 1025 00:44:22,849 --> 00:44:18,480 like you spent all your time on 1026 00:44:24,170 --> 00:44:22,859 procedural issues but so I I wanna get 1027 00:44:26,390 --> 00:44:24,180 your opinion 1028 00:44:28,849 --> 00:44:26,400 kind of a little bit outside of your 1029 00:44:31,609 --> 00:44:28,859 experience as an FBI agent but this 1030 00:44:34,849 --> 00:44:31,619 distinction between kind of common sense 1031 00:44:36,470 --> 00:44:34,859 you know like common sense says hey I'd 1032 00:44:38,390 --> 00:44:36,480 throw these guys off the rail I mean 1033 00:44:39,950 --> 00:44:38,400 these are disgusting people that are 1034 00:44:43,190 --> 00:44:39,960 going to act out these crimes against 1035 00:44:45,950 --> 00:44:43,200 these defenseless Kids versus I 1036 00:44:48,530 --> 00:44:45,960 understand your role as an FBI agent but 1037 00:44:51,050 --> 00:44:48,540 in the terms of public discourse 1038 00:44:53,150 --> 00:44:51,060 I think sometimes we get hung up on 1039 00:44:55,730 --> 00:44:53,160 proving a crime which is what we should 1040 00:44:58,430 --> 00:44:55,740 do before we incarcerate somebody versus 1041 00:45:02,390 --> 00:44:58,440 the court of public opinion when the 1042 00:45:03,950 --> 00:45:02,400 evidence is highly suggestive that these 1043 00:45:06,770 --> 00:45:03,960 individuals or a particular individual 1044 00:45:08,210 --> 00:45:06,780 is involved in this kind of behavior do 1045 00:45:09,470 --> 00:45:08,220 you have a sense for where I'm going 1046 00:45:12,530 --> 00:45:09,480 with that 1047 00:45:14,930 --> 00:45:12,540 well and I think it's important that we 1048 00:45:17,030 --> 00:45:14,940 that we understand what these people are 1049 00:45:18,890 --> 00:45:17,040 doing and how they're thinking because 1050 00:45:20,990 --> 00:45:18,900 as we mentioned just a little earlier in 1051 00:45:25,550 --> 00:45:21,000 this interview there is a movement of 1052 00:45:27,770 --> 00:45:25,560 foot to describe pedophilia as a civil 1053 00:45:31,609 --> 00:45:27,780 rights issue and the next civil rights 1054 00:45:34,250 --> 00:45:31,619 issue and so we there's a movement to 1055 00:45:37,190 --> 00:45:34,260 remove pedophilia from the diagnostic 1056 00:45:41,210 --> 00:45:37,200 and statistical manual the DSM-5 right 1057 00:45:45,230 --> 00:45:41,220 uh just as as homosexuality was removed 1058 00:45:48,230 --> 00:45:45,240 in the 60s I believe and now there is a 1059 00:45:50,990 --> 00:45:48,240 movement afloat by professionals this 1060 00:45:51,829 --> 00:45:51,000 isn't just this isn't just somebody that 1061 00:45:53,930 --> 00:45:51,839 doesn't know what they're talking about 1062 00:45:56,990 --> 00:45:53,940 these are psychiatrists psychologists 1063 00:45:59,089 --> 00:45:57,000 with Advanced degrees that believe that 1064 00:46:01,550 --> 00:45:59,099 believe that we should remove this as a 1065 00:46:03,950 --> 00:46:01,560 mental disease and disorder 1066 00:46:06,710 --> 00:46:03,960 so I'm a little bit familiar with that 1067 00:46:08,569 --> 00:46:06,720 my wife is a forensic psychologist and 1068 00:46:09,829 --> 00:46:08,579 she actually has worked in prison one 1069 00:46:11,569 --> 00:46:09,839 thing I just wanted to throw in about 1070 00:46:13,910 --> 00:46:11,579 her work that she educated me on you 1071 00:46:16,130 --> 00:46:13,920 know you hear about how sex offenders 1072 00:46:17,990 --> 00:46:16,140 are treated in prison and I wasn't sure 1073 00:46:21,109 --> 00:46:18,000 whether that was myth or not and I know 1074 00:46:23,329 --> 00:46:21,119 for my wife she said no that is that is 1075 00:46:25,609 --> 00:46:23,339 like totally real and maybe you want to 1076 00:46:27,770 --> 00:46:25,619 talk about that too but I mean talk 1077 00:46:29,930 --> 00:46:27,780 about you can't even say low person on 1078 00:46:32,750 --> 00:46:29,940 the totem pole in prison I mean these 1079 00:46:35,329 --> 00:46:32,760 people are at risk for losing their life 1080 00:46:38,450 --> 00:46:35,339 that's how much they're loathed by even 1081 00:46:42,650 --> 00:46:38,460 the prison population right 1082 00:46:45,710 --> 00:46:42,660 well it in some prisons it's true uh the 1083 00:46:46,690 --> 00:46:45,720 Kinder gentler federal system now we've 1084 00:46:49,910 --> 00:46:46,700 actually 1085 00:46:52,430 --> 00:46:49,920 established in in Butner North Carolina 1086 00:46:55,190 --> 00:46:52,440 at the federal prison there is where a 1087 00:46:59,329 --> 00:46:55,200 lot of the sex offenders go so that they 1088 00:47:03,609 --> 00:46:59,339 are kind of housed in the same Arena ONE 1089 00:47:06,490 --> 00:47:03,619 for safety but also for uh for 1090 00:47:12,050 --> 00:47:06,500 counseling and and Rehabilitation 1091 00:47:14,390 --> 00:47:12,060 allegedly but uh yeah I mean it's I I we 1092 00:47:15,829 --> 00:47:14,400 used to joke when we would arrest a sex 1093 00:47:17,750 --> 00:47:15,839 offender we'd say you know we ought to 1094 00:47:20,089 --> 00:47:17,760 let him he'd probably agree to plead 1095 00:47:22,790 --> 00:47:20,099 guilty to bank robbery for 10 years then 1096 00:47:25,250 --> 00:47:22,800 a sex offense for five years because 1097 00:47:27,530 --> 00:47:25,260 he'd rather have the 1098 00:47:30,410 --> 00:47:27,540 the inmates believe he was a bank robber 1099 00:47:31,970 --> 00:47:30,420 than a than a sex offender particularly 1100 00:47:34,250 --> 00:47:31,980 a child molester 1101 00:47:37,069 --> 00:47:34,260 so let me touch on another thing that's 1102 00:47:39,650 --> 00:47:37,079 kind of part of the story that you told 1103 00:47:43,010 --> 00:47:39,660 and maybe you can elaborate on it but 1104 00:47:46,250 --> 00:47:43,020 another characteristic we see is that 1105 00:47:47,990 --> 00:47:46,260 these folks like to associate with each 1106 00:47:49,490 --> 00:47:48,000 other they like to get together with 1107 00:47:51,530 --> 00:47:49,500 other pedophiles even if it's just to 1108 00:47:53,990 --> 00:47:51,540 exchange images of 1109 00:47:56,089 --> 00:47:54,000 you know child porn or if it's the 1110 00:47:58,370 --> 00:47:56,099 exchange you know techniques in terms of

but you wind up working 1114 00:48:10,010 --> 00:48:06,660 with a diverse if you will group of 1115 00:48:13,309 --> 00:48:10,020 individuals across a political Spectrum 1116 00:48:15,710 --> 00:48:13,319 across uh the outwardly spiritual 1117 00:48:22,120 --> 00:48:15,720 perspective I mean speak to that you 1118 00:48:25,690 --> 00:48:23,630 [Music] 1119 00:48:29,210 --> 00:48:25,700

talking uh talking in code in fact part 1177 00:51:11,390 --> 00:51:09,599 of our sting was uh when we they had 1178 00:51:14,089 --> 00:51:11,400 originally set it up they wanted to go 1179 00:51:17,150 --> 00:51:14,099 down to Costa Rica to see if they could 1180 00:51:19,970 --> 00:51:17,160 find some boys down there well the FBI 1181 00:51:21,950 --> 00:51:19,980 kind of we want to be

00:51:35,520 going down to to have little boys but 1188 00:51:40,250 --> 00:51:37,920 yeah so there was the there was coded 1189 00:51:41,690 --> 00:51:40,260 messages that they used in in their 1190 00:51:43,329 --> 00:51:41,700 discussions with 1191 00:51:47,750 --> 00:51:43,339 with each other 1192 00:51:50,930 --> 00:51:47,760 and in in our written communication 1193 00:51:52,670 --> 00:51:50,940 Bob let's talk about evil the title of 1194 00:51:54,950 --> 00:51:52,680 your book is the last Undercover the 1195 00:51:58,370 --> 00:51:54,960 true story and FBI agent's dangerous 1196 00:51:59,329 --> 00:51:58,380 dance with evil you're a Christian I am 1197 00:52:01,670 --> 00:51:59,339 not 1198 00:52:03,770 --> 00:52:01,680 but I believe there's evil I believe 1199 00:52:06,170 --> 00:52:03,780 there's evil both in this world and 1200 00:52:07,609 --> 00:52:06,180 Beyond this world whatever we understand 1201 00:52:09,589 --> 00:52:07,619 that to be 1202 00:52:13,130 --> 00:52:09,599 here's the question though 1203 00:52:17,390 --> 00:52:13,140 do you think our inability our apparent 1204 00:52:20,150 --> 00:52:17,400 inability to deal with that idea that 1205 00:52:22,790 --> 00:52:20,160 there is an evil or even to address 1206 00:52:25,849 --> 00:52:22,800 these topics from some kind of spiritual 1207 00:52:28,549 --> 00:52:25,859 perspective spiritual Dimension do you 1208 00:52:32,510 --> 00:52:28,559 think that prevents us or inhibits us 1209 00:52:35,089 --> 00:52:32,520 from really making progress on some kind 1210 00:52:37,670 --> 00:52:35,099 of solution some kind of better way of 1211 00:52:40,010 --> 00:52:37,680 dealing with this 1212 00:52:43,730 --> 00:52:40,020 well I think with a lot of issues that's 1213 00:52:45,890 --> 00:52:43,740 that's true we're we are afraid we're 1214 00:52:48,410 --> 00:52:45,900 afraid to speak out because it's not 1215 00:52:51,230 --> 00:52:48,420 politically correct or because we're 1216 00:52:53,329 --> 00:52:51,240 viewed as being judgmental I just I do 1217 00:52:55,910 --> 00:52:53,339 believe there's certain conduct that 1218 00:52:59,750 --> 00:52:55,920 that is evil and should be labeled as 1219 00:53:01,069 --> 00:52:59,760 such and we we shouldn't be afraid to 1220 00:53:04,150 --> 00:53:01,079 talk about it 1221 00:53:06,290 --> 00:53:04,160 um I mean when you you look at 1222 00:53:08,290 --> 00:53:06,300 kind of going back to this whole 1223 00:53:11,450 --> 00:53:08,300 pedophilia and and 1224 00:53:14,349 --> 00:53:11,460 making that a civil rights issue I think 1225 00:53:18,230 --> 00:53:14,359 once that has made a civil rights issue 1226 00:53:20,930 --> 00:53:18,240 it's going to make a huge change as to 1227 00:53:21,950 --> 00:53:20,940 how this is viewed uh who would have 1228 00:53:24,130 --> 00:53:21,960 guessed 1229 00:53:26,829 --> 00:53:24,140 three or four years ago 1230 00:53:29,630 --> 00:53:26,839 that we would be talking about 1231 00:53:35,150 --> 00:53:29,640 transsexuals and men being allowed to go 1232 00:53:38,530 --> 00:53:35,160 into the restrooms of women now 1233 00:53:40,849 --> 00:53:38,540 we talk about that not because of 1234 00:53:43,430 --> 00:53:40,859 transsexual but because it's a civil 1235 00:53:44,930 --> 00:53:43,440 right because the the idea that well 1236 00:53:46,849 --> 00:53:44,940 there are people that are this way that 1237 00:53:49,910 --> 00:53:46,859 are born this way we shouldn't be 1238 00:53:52,010 --> 00:53:49,920 judgmental because they this is the way 1239 00:53:54,230 --> 00:53:52,020 they are created so we should allow this 1240 00:53:57,109 --> 00:53:54,240 that's what the whole movement is with 1241 00:54:00,230 --> 00:53:57,119 this this pedophilia as I see it it's 1242 00:54:02,329 --> 00:54:00,240 because they're saying well people are 1243 00:54:05,870 --> 00:54:02,339 born this way or people choose to be 1244 00:54:07,910 --> 00:54:05,880 this way and who are we to judge we can 1245 00:54:11,450 --> 00:54:07,920 look at other societies where this is 1246 00:54:14,750 --> 00:54:11,460 okay and it's it's and I saw this in 1247 00:54:17,390 --> 00:54:14,760 NAMBLA it's they are blaming a 1248 00:54:18,950 --> 00:54:17,400 moralistic society for making this 1249 00:54:22,069 --> 00:54:18,960 behavior that was 1250 00:54:25,069 --> 00:54:22,079 so prevalent in the Greek society in 1251 00:54:28,010 --> 00:54:25,079 ancient Greek society and uh in 1252 00:54:29,990 --> 00:54:28,020 societies even today and other 1253 00:54:32,569 --> 00:54:30,000 essentially third world countries where 1254 00:54:35,930 --> 00:54:32,579 this is permitted that so it should be 1255 00:54:40,789 --> 00:54:38,630 right so I think we're kind of almost 1256 00:54:43,970 --> 00:54:40,799 there on the same page I mean there is 1257 00:54:46,190 --> 00:54:43,980 this kind of secular atheist really 1258 00:54:49,370 --> 00:54:46,200 nonsense I mean to 90 percent of people 1259 00:54:52,370 --> 00:54:49,380 if you go and poll people any way you 1260 00:54:54,890 --> 00:54:52,380 can 90 of them say in some general sense 1261 00:54:57,470 --> 00:54:54,900 I believe in God whatever that means or 1262 00:54:59,089 --> 00:54:57,480 I believe that there's a good evil that 1263 00:55:01,370 --> 00:54:59,099 there's some kind of morality you know 1264 00:55:03,829 --> 00:55:01,380 and I don't know the statistics but I'm 1265 00:55:06,230 --> 00:55:03,839 sure that if you pulled those same 1266 00:55:10,490 --> 00:55:06,240 people about whether or not there's a 1267 00:55:13,370 --> 00:55:10,500 morality issue with 50 year old men 1268 00:55:15,410 --> 00:55:13,380 having sex with 10 year old boys I think 1269 00:55:16,690 --> 00:55:15,420 you'd have the same kind of numbers you 1270 00:55:20,750 --> 00:55:16,700 know 99 1271 00:55:22,670 --> 00:55:20,760 so this is some kind of nonsense that I 1272 00:55:25,789 --> 00:55:22,680 don't know how it gets Advanced because 1273 00:55:28,609 --> 00:55:25,799 no sane person is thinking that this is 1274 00:55:32,030 --> 00:55:28,619 a civil rights issue or that this 1275 00:55:34,250 --> 00:55:32,040 secular atheist kind of you know there 1276 00:55:36,230 --> 00:55:34,260 is no possible way that we could get to 1277 00:55:38,390 --> 00:55:36,240 the the bottom of whether there there's 1278 00:55:40,670 --> 00:55:38,400 a right or wrong this issue in 1279 00:55:43,670 --> 00:55:40,680 particular really brings it into Focus 1280 00:55:47,210 --> 00:55:43,680 because you couldn't get one out of a 1281 00:55:50,030 --> 00:55:47,220 hundred people to buy that at some point 1282 00:55:53,030 --> 00:55:50,040 the majority the vast majority of us 1283 00:55:55,849 --> 00:55:53,040 recognize perversion in this particular 1284 00:55:59,450 --> 00:55:55,859 case of the eight members that we 1285 00:56:03,829 --> 00:55:59,460 convicted uh seven that agreed to go on 1286 00:56:05,210 --> 00:56:03,839 this little jaunt down to Mexico every 1287 00:56:08,870 --> 00:56:05,220 one of them 1288 00:56:11,150 --> 00:56:08,880 spoke of having anal sex with 10 to 12 1289 00:56:15,349 --> 00:56:11,160 year old boys that's what they wanted to 1290 00:56:17,809 --> 00:56:15,359 do uh I I don't know how anyone 1291 00:56:21,650 --> 00:56:17,819 just as you had said earlier Alex how 1292 00:56:24,530 --> 00:56:21,660 can anyone say that is not evil that 1293 00:56:27,770 --> 00:56:24,540 that's okay if the boys say it's okay 1294 00:56:29,690 --> 00:56:27,780 how do you how do you even justify that 1295 00:56:31,549 --> 00:56:29,700 and I'd go one step further in and I 1296 00:56:35,150 --> 00:56:31,559 don't want to push you into saying this 1297 00:56:38,270 --> 00:56:35,160 but I think it's evil in this spiritual 1298 00:56:40,670 --> 00:56:38,280 way that we don't totally understand I 1299 00:56:43,250 --> 00:56:40,680 mean you and I might not see totally eye 1300 00:56:47,750 --> 00:56:43,260 to eye on that but I think there's a 1301 00:56:50,150 --> 00:56:47,760 spiritual Force here at play and I think 1302 00:56:54,109 --> 00:56:50,160 it's influencing and it's not just 1303 00:56:57,170 --> 00:56:54,119 people who identify as being uh Satanic 1304 00:56:59,329 --> 00:56:57,180 ritual satanic kind of abusers it's 1305 00:57:01,569 --> 00:56:59,339 people who don't identify to that but 1306 00:57:04,190 --> 00:57:01,579 are still somehow being influenced to 1307 00:57:05,930 --> 00:57:04,200 engage in this Behavior now that's my 1308 00:57:07,670 --> 00:57:05,940 opinion I don't want to hang that on you 1309 00:57:11,450 --> 00:57:07,680 but I think until we are at least 1310 00:57:13,549 --> 00:57:11,460 willing to explore that possibility I 1311 00:57:14,990 --> 00:57:13,559 just think we'd have zero chance zero 1312 00:57:17,870 --> 00:57:15,000 chance of really getting our arms around 1313 00:57:19,609 --> 00:57:17,880 this yeah 1314 00:57:21,109 --> 00:57:19,619 yeah okay I'm not going to lead you into 1315 00:57:23,450 --> 00:57:21,119 that one unless you have anything to say 1316 00:57:26,030 --> 00:57:23,460 about that no huh 1317 00:57:27,170 --> 00:57:26,040 okay so you one last thing on this case 1318 00:57:28,250 --> 00:57:27,180 and then I want to talk about some of 1319 00:57:29,569 --> 00:57:28,260 the other groups you're involved with 1320 00:57:32,270 --> 00:57:29,579 and actually trying to make a difference 1321 00:57:35,210 --> 00:57:32,280 but I I know this is a horribly serious 1322 00:57:37,430 --> 00:57:35,220 issue but I got such a chuckle out of 1323 00:57:39,470 --> 00:57:37,440 the way you kind of introduced I guess 1324 00:57:42,049 --> 00:57:39,480 you call it Gallows humor in some of 1325 00:57:43,490 --> 00:57:42,059 this you're a fantastic writer very 1326 00:57:45,049 --> 00:57:43,500 accomplished you haven't only written 1327 00:57:46,670 --> 00:57:45,059 this book but you've written other very 1328 00:57:49,190 --> 00:57:46,680 successful books and you're very 1329 00:57:52,010 --> 00:57:49,200 accomplished at that but you wound up 1330 00:57:53,990 --> 00:57:52,020 writing articles for these folks to 1331 00:57:56,690 --> 00:57:54,000 somehow work your way into this what is 1332 00:57:58,010 --> 00:57:56,700 this one castration myth or Miracle I 1333 00:58:00,470 --> 00:57:58,020 don't know what the title is I know when 1334 00:58:05,809 --> 00:58:00,480 I heard it I just couldn't stop laughing 1335 00:58:06,890 --> 00:58:05,819 yeah uh castration myth or magic and uh 1336 00:58:08,510 --> 00:58:06,900 I 1337 00:58:12,049 --> 00:58:08,520 it just 1338 00:58:15,829 --> 00:58:13,789 seen this I'm sure your wife sees this 1339 00:58:19,670 --> 00:58:15,839 with what she's gone been through with 1340 00:58:22,250 --> 00:58:19,680 in forensic psychology but humor is is a 1341 00:58:26,030 --> 00:58:22,260 great stress reliever and so I 1342 00:58:28,010 --> 00:58:26,040 I use that and I I believe that as as a 1343 00:58:30,950 --> 00:58:28,020 leader it's important that that you 1344 00:58:32,690 --> 00:58:30,960 provide humor and and a relaxed 1345 00:58:35,030 --> 00:58:32,700 atmosphere in which you can work and 1346 00:58:37,910 --> 00:58:35,040 whether it's Gallows humor whether it's 1347 00:58:40,490 --> 00:58:37,920 combat humor uh whatever it is you've 1348 00:58:44,150 --> 00:58:40,500 gotta you just have to laugh to to allow 1349 00:58:46,430 --> 00:58:44,160 this so that was yeah I wrote that one 1350 00:58:48,730 --> 00:58:46,440 of the things I used to do in in most of 1351 00:58:52,370 --> 00:58:48,740 my undercover assignments I I use music 1352 00:58:55,670 --> 00:58:52,380 and I would play I had an international 1353 00:58:58,130 --> 00:58:55,680 weapons case where we were dealing with 1354 00:59:00,650 --> 00:58:58,140 a 60 million dollar conspiracy for 1355 00:59:02,690 --> 00:59:00,660 shoulders fire missiles about six or 1356 00:59:04,190 --> 00:59:02,700 seven times that the main target of our 1357 00:59:06,710 --> 00:59:04,200 investigation when he got into my 1358 00:59:09,410 --> 00:59:06,720 undercover car every time he got into 1359 00:59:12,349 --> 00:59:09,420 the car I had it queued to the Charlie 1360 00:59:14,690 --> 00:59:12,359 Daniels song uneasy writer and the line 1361 00:59:17,210 --> 00:59:14,700 that you hear on the first the first 1362 00:59:20,030 --> 00:59:17,220 line on every undercover tape that you 1363 00:59:21,589 --> 00:59:20,040 hear it's Charlie Daniels saying don't 1364 00:59:24,650 --> 00:59:21,599 you know what this man's a spy he's 1365 00:59:27,829 --> 00:59:24,660 undercover each for the FBI and that's a 1366 00:59:30,109 --> 00:59:27,839 line right from uneasy Rider and I when 1367 00:59:31,010 --> 00:59:30,119 I had the bad guys in the car I would be 1368 00:59:34,309 --> 00:59:31,020 playing 1369 00:59:37,910 --> 00:59:34,319 Folsom Prison Blues and Jailhouse Rock 1370 00:59:41,329 --> 00:59:37,920 anything that had a prison theme I I 1371 00:59:42,770 --> 00:59:41,339 would play it uh when one of the NAMBLA 1372 00:59:44,990 --> 00:59:42,780 members got into my car and he was 1373 00:59:49,130 --> 00:59:45,000 actually an ordained minister 1374 00:59:52,549 --> 00:59:49,140 I had to I had a cue to uh Charlie 1375 00:59:54,470 --> 00:59:52,559 Daniels song called Simple Man and it 1376 00:59:56,870 --> 00:59:54,480 essentially the line is we should take 1377 00:59:58,910 --> 00:59:56,880 these child molesters out to the swamp 1378 01:00:00,530 --> 00:59:58,920 put them on their knees in time to a 1379 01:00:03,890 --> 01:00:00,540 stump and let the alligators and the 1380 01:00:05,770 --> 01:00:03,900 bugs do all the rest so I was I was 1381 01:00:08,930 --> 01:00:05,780 always trying to uh 1382 01:00:11,329 --> 01:00:08,940 kind of I had my own soundtrack when I 1383 01:00:14,390 --> 01:00:11,339 was doing it I I bought two kilos of 1384 01:00:16,609 --> 01:00:14,400 crystal meth from a guy and just I had 1385 01:00:18,049 -->

Africa and he he just has a passion to 1408 01:01:30,230 --> 01:01:27,180 to save children and to help children 1409 01:01:32,930 --> 01:01:30,240 and he started this group it's it's vets 1410 01:01:36,049 --> 01:01:32,940 for childrescue.org 1411 01:01:38,390 --> 01:01:36,059 and he's what he wants to do is to go 1412 01:01:41,109 --> 01:01:38,400 after he wants to expose this whole 1413 01:01:45,109 --> 01:01:41,119 issue of child abuse 1414 01:01:47,210 --> 01:01:45,119 and what we're finding is that you know 1415 01:01:49,250 --> 01:01:47,220 there are people that are getting away 1416 01:01:52,130 --> 01:01:49,260 with this because of their position in 1417 01:01:53,150 --> 01:01:52,140 society and obviously there have been 1418 01:01:55,490 --> 01:01:53,160 recent 1419 01:01:57,829 --> 01:01:55,500 people coming out in Hollywood talking 1420 01:02:00,650 --> 01:01:57,839 about the the pedophile issue in 1421 01:02:02,390 --> 01:02:00,660 Hollywood and the child abuse that uh 1422 01:02:05,089 --> 01:02:02,400 some some are getting caught and some 1423 01:02:09,130 --> 01:02:05,099 aren't and I think Craig wants to shine 1424 01:02:12,349 --> 01:02:09,140 a light on this whole child abuse issue 1425 01:02:14,390 --> 01:02:12,359 uh it is it should be our mission it 1426 01:02:17,150 --> 01:02:14,400 should be each of our missions to 1427 01:02:18,950 --> 01:02:17,160 protect our children and uh you know as 1428 01:02:22,130 --> 01:02:18,960 try it as it may sound they are our 1429 01:02:23,870 --> 01:02:22,140 future and if we don't protect them who 1430 01:02:27,049 --> 01:02:23,880 is and so that's what he wants to do 1431 01:02:30,230 --> 01:02:27,059 with vets for child rescue he's uh it's 1432 01:02:32,930 --> 01:02:30,240 it's a 501c you can donate to it the 1433 01:02:35,329 --> 01:02:32,940 idea is that he wants to start first for 1434 01:02:36,710 --> 01:02:35,339 the documentary identifying the issues 1435 01:02:40,069 --> 01:02:36,720 and then 1436 01:02:41,870 --> 01:02:40,079 hmm I hope that this can be picked up 1437 01:02:45,170 --> 01:02:41,880 and and go into a series where they 1438 01:02:47,390 --> 01:02:45,180 would be targeting pedophiles and and 1439 01:02:49,309 --> 01:02:47,400 exposing them 1440 01:02:51,109 --> 01:02:49,319 well it's important work and as we said 1441 01:02:53,870 --> 01:02:51,119 early on I mean you're to be commended 1442 01:02:55,789 --> 01:02:53,880 well your service is great but then you 1443 01:02:58,130 --> 01:02:55,799 know your willingness to go to be that 1444 01:03:00,049 --> 01:02:58,140 guy that when they came out to the pool 1445 01:03:01,730 --> 01:03:00,059 there and said he'll take this case to 1446 01:03:04,730 --> 01:03:01,740 take it on because it's 1447 01:03:07,089 --> 01:03:04,740 it's not easy I'm sure it crushes a lot 1448 01:03:09,349 --> 01:03:07,099 of soul crushes a lot of people so 1449 01:03:12,430 --> 01:03:09,359 that's awesome 1450 01:03:14,990 --> 01:03:12,440 well you know Alex is this was 1451 01:03:17,870 --> 01:03:15,000 as I said earlier this is my most 1452 01:03:20,809 --> 01:03:17,880 difficult case this was because it 1453 01:03:23,569 --> 01:03:20,819 really I posed as a contract killer I I 1454 01:03:25,549 --> 01:03:23,579 posed as a drug dealer and when when 1455 01:03:27,770 --> 01:03:25,559 you're a contract killer I mean you 1456 01:03:29,390 --> 01:03:27,780 don't care whether if someone's hiring 1457 01:03:31,190 --> 01:03:29,400 me they don't care whether I'm 1458 01:03:34,190 --> 01:03:31,200 republican or democrat or I like 1459 01:03:36,289 --> 01:03:34,200 football or the ballet uh they just want 1460 01:03:38,089 --> 01:03:36,299 to know that I can you know if they're 1461 01:03:40,490 --> 01:03:38,099 hiring me to kill someone that I can do 1462 01:03:43,250 --> 01:03:40,500 it uh you know in my undercover role let 1463 01:03:45,529 --> 01:03:43,260 me make that clear to your listeners uh 1464 01:03:48,289 --> 01:03:45,539 the same with a drug dealer drug dealers 1465 01:03:50,750 --> 01:03:48,299 don't really care what you're what your 1466 01:03:53,390 --> 01:03:50,760 beliefs are as long as you have the 1467 01:03:56,089 --> 01:03:53,400 money to purchase the drugs but in this 1468 01:03:58,250 --> 01:03:56,099 particular case in the NAMBLA case I had 1469 01:04:00,770 --> 01:03:58,260 to think like them I had to talk like 1470 01:04:03,770 --> 01:04:00,780 them I had to act like them a good 1471 01:04:06,770 --> 01:04:03,780 example was uh the the dentist that I 1472 01:04:09,309 --> 01:04:06,780 talked about he he bragged about how he 1473 01:04:12,950 --> 01:04:09,319 had taped a Sylvan Learning commercial 1474 01:04:15,230 --> 01:04:12,960 and not because he thought it could help 1475 01:04:16,730 --> 01:04:15,240 as kids learn how to read better it was 1476 01:04:19,130 --> 01:04:16,740 because he was in love with the little 1477 01:04:22,609 --> 01:04:19,140 boy on the commercial these members love 1478 01:04:24,710 --> 01:04:22,619 the uh the the the movie Lord of the 1479 01:04:26,450 --> 01:04:24,720 Flies because it was a bunch of little 1480 01:04:29,270 --> 01:04:26,460 boys running around in their underwear 1481 01:04:32,870 --> 01:04:29,280 so I had to think like that and had to 1482 01:04:35,150 --> 01:04:32,880 and so it made it very difficult uh I'm 1483 01:04:37,430 --> 01:04:35,160 a raging heterosexual I've been married 1484 01:04:39,890 --> 01:04:37,440 for 43 years I've never cheated on my 1485 01:04:43,329 --> 01:04:39,900 wife but one of the meetings we had down 1486 01:04:46,910 --> 01:04:43,339 in Boca Raton Florida it was a beautiful 1487 01:04:50,210 --> 01:04:46,920 evening women were running around in 1488 01:04:52,730 --> 01:04:50,220 Beachwear I mean gorgeous women and I 1489 01:04:55,730 --> 01:04:52,740 couldn't look at them because I was a I 1490 01:04:57,230 --> 01:04:55,740 was a boy lover I was a BL and while we 1491 01:04:59,569 --> 01:04:57,240 were sitting out there on the outdoor 1492 01:05:01,609 --> 01:04:59,579 patio of a restaurant and these women 1493 01:05:04,190 --> 01:05:01,619 are parading up and down the street 1494 01:05:06,410 --> 01:05:04,200 these guys are going oh my gosh look at 1495 01:05:08,270 --> 01:05:06,420 that kid in the blue shirt this is what 1496 01:05:11,089 --> 01:05:08,280 I want to do to him let's play The 1497 01:05:13,190 --> 01:05:11,099 Dating Game uh who do you want to ask 1498 01:05:14,990 --> 01:05:13,200 out

01:05:24,650 --> 01:05:21,720 sitting there I have to be focused like 1502 01:05:27,470 --> 01:05:24,660 them and think like them and I can't get 1503 01:05:30,230 --> 01:05:27,480 caught slipping now

--> 01:06:14,819 this topic it's not one that a lot of 1524 01:06:19,370 --> 01:06:17,220 people want to talk about and uh it's 1525 01:06:21,289 --> 01:06:19,380 one that that we need to know we need to 1526 01:06:23,210 --> 01:06:21,299 protect our children and I appreciate 1527 01:06:25,250 --> 01:06:23,220 you doing this 1528 01:06:27,410 --> 01:06:25,260 thanks again to Bob Hamer for joining me 1529 01:06:29,029 --> 01:06:27,420 today on skeptico I said I'd have a 1530 01:06:30,650 --> 01:06:29,039 couple of additional thoughts let me 1531 01:06:32,089 --> 01:06:30,660 throw those out in the form of a 1532 01:06:34,130 --> 01:06:32,099 question the kind that I usually tee up 1533 01:06:37,130 --> 01:06:34,140 at the end of these interviews do you 1534 01:06:39,289 --> 01:06:37,140 think people are ever influenced by evil 1535 01:06:40,910 --> 01:06:39,299 spirits now I know that question's 1536 01:06:43,309 --> 01:06:40,920 pretty Stark and it probably throws 1537 01:06:46,309 --> 01:06:43,319 people off but that's what I took 20 1538 01:06:50,750 --> 01:06:46,319 minutes of an intro to explain why that 1539 01:06:52,549 --> 01:06:50,760 question is I think a natural result of 1540 01:06:54,529 --> 01:06:52,559 all these shows all these investigations 1541 01:06:56,569 --> 01:06:54,539 we've done of consciousness of 1542 01:06:58,670 --> 01:06:56,579 near-death experience of Psy research of 1543 01:07:01,130 --> 01:06:58,680 all that at the end of the day one of 1544 01:07:03,710 --> 01:07:01,140 the questions that falls out is if there 1545 01:07:05,390 --> 01:07:03,720 is this extended Consciousness realm in 1546 01:07:06,770 --> 01:07:05,400 what ways is it influencing this 1547 01:07:09,049 --> 01:07:06,780 material world 1548 01:07:11,990 --> 01:07:09,059 again the advantage of looking at 1549 01:07:13,849 --> 01:07:12,000 pizzagate or Bob's case with NAMBLA is 1550 01:07:18,289 --> 01:07:13,859 that I think we can all agree in these 1551 01:07:20,990 --> 01:07:18,299 cases we're looking at evil the moral 1552 01:07:24,289 --> 01:07:21,000 ambiguity question is really off the 1553 01:07:28,490 --> 01:07:24,299 table there are some people that do 1554 01:07:31,789 --> 01:07:28,500 really really evil things and I suspect 1555 01:07:34,730 --> 01:07:31,799 that there's an asbeloso above kind of 1556 01:07:36,710 --> 01:07:34,740 thing going on here too so we know 1557 01:07:40,069 --> 01:07:36,720 there's evil in this realm in this 1558 01:07:43,329 --> 01:07:40,079 Dimension I'd suggest and I think the 1559 01:07:46,730 --> 01:07:43,339 evidence seems to suggest that that evil 1560 01:07:49,970 --> 01:07:46,740 extends Beyond this Dimension to these 1561 01:07:52,190 --> 01:07:49,980 other extended Consciousness Realms in a 1562 01:07:54,170 --> 01:07:52,200 way that I don't understand and I don't 1563 01:07:56,029 --> 01:07:54,180 think anyone has a total grip on but hey 1564 01:07:57,589 --> 01:07:56,039 that's why we're here that's why you're 1565 01:08:00,289 --> 01:07:57,599 listening to this show that's why I'm 1566 01:08:02,589 --> 01:08:00,299 doing that show let's put our heads 1567 01:08:05,569 --> 01:08:02,599 together and see if we can at least 1568 01:08:07,309 --> 01:08:05,579 nudge a tiny bit closer towards 1569 01:08:09,589 --> 01:08:07,319 something that looks like an answer 1570 01:08:11,569 --> 01:08:09,599 something that Comforts us or at least 1571 01:08:14,450 --> 01:08:11,579 allows us to move forward in our lives 1572 01:08:16,970 --> 01:08:14,460 and make better decisions about what 1573 01:08:20,630 --> 01:08:16,980 path we want to take on this journey me 1574 01:08:23,749 --> 01:08:20,640 that we're all on together hate to get 1575 01:08:25,430 --> 01:08:23,759 super new agey spiritual but I don't 1576 01:08:28,130 --> 01:08:25,440 know where else you can go with this 1577 01:08:30,289 --> 01:08:28,140 kind of stuff so there's a ton of 1578 01:08:32,809 --> 01:08:30,299 questions in there pull them apart if 1579 01:08:34,910 --> 01:08:32,819 you will and shoot me back in email let 1580 01:08:37,490 --> 01:08:34,920 me know what you think
