Speaker 1: The summer of twenty twenty, millions protested for racial justice
Speaker 1: across the country, with some of these protests turning violent
Speaker 1: that summer, it felt like history in the making. Big
Speaker 1: changes were coming, and then the protests just stopped. There
Speaker 1: were these rumors that government agents had infiltrated the movement,
Speaker 1: pushing it towards collapse. It sounded paranoid, right, but you
Speaker 1: know what, Okay it is August twenty eight, twenty twenty
Speaker 1: aparts only four, two pm. It wasn't. I'm Trevor Aaronson
Speaker 1: and I'm a journalist covering federal law enforcement. The Alphabet
Speaker 1: Agencies is the FBI. Sometimes you get it grabbed the
Speaker 1: little guy to go after the big gun. This is
Speaker 1: Alphabet Boys, a new series from Western Sound and iHeart Podcasts.
Speaker 1: Each season we'll take you deep inside and undercover investigation. Okay,
Speaker 1: so you do personal security all over the world. You're
Speaker 1: connected to all these different people. You'll hear recordings that
Speaker 1: were kept secret until now, and you had somebody call
Speaker 1: you and say can you get grenades and guns for
Speaker 1: this guy in Columbia And you'll discover that well, many
Speaker 1: of these cases have plenty of danger and intrigue. I
Speaker 1: just drove for eight hours and then I just stuffed
Speaker 1: my gun in the face of a federal agent. The
Speaker 1: Alphabet Boys also introduced so much absurdity. I got knocked
Speaker 1: off of building about a month ago. On my hip
Speaker 1: is shattered well that it's hard not to wonder our
Speaker 1: America's top cops catching real criminals or creating them. In
Speaker 1: season one, We're headed to Denver. You see seven seven
Speaker 1: five in Denver, Colorado. Today is August twenty fifth, where
Speaker 1: FBI agents are investigating political activists following the murder of
Speaker 1: George Floyd. A mysterious man rolls into town. He's wearing
Speaker 1: military fatigues and he has a cigar dangling from his lips.
Speaker 1: The car he drives is unmistakable a silver horse. He
Speaker 1: was very convincing, but he did explain, you know, he
Speaker 1: was before this bom movement and inside his heart with
Speaker 1: a like a lot of goods. Was this the guy
Speaker 1: the movement needed to take things to the next level?
Speaker 1: The end of the day could come to me. I
Speaker 1: got something before you play stupid games, when stupid prizes?
Speaker 1: Or did he have a secret agenda? He was just
Speaker 1: waiting for me to set the date, the time, a
Speaker 1: meeting spot, and then for sure he was trying to
Speaker 1: get into heaven. He's a bad guy. The bad guys
Speaker 1: are tracing bad guys, and I feel he's gonna keep
Speaker 1: doing this forever if they want to cover up the
Speaker 1: fact that local, state, and federal law enforcement caused violence here.
Speaker 1: Listen to Alphabet Boys starting February seventh on the iHeartRadio app,
