WEBVTT - Introducing:  Alphabet Boys: Season One, Trojan Hearse

0:00:06.040 --> 0:00:12.080
<v Speaker 1>The summer of twenty twenty, millions protested for racial justice

0:00:12.160 --> 0:00:15.640
<v Speaker 1>across the country, with some of these protests turning violent

0:00:19.160 --> 0:00:22.640
<v Speaker 1>that summer, it felt like history in the making. Big

0:00:22.760 --> 0:00:32.199
<v Speaker 1>changes were coming, and then the protests just stopped. There

0:00:32.200 --> 0:00:35.839
<v Speaker 1>were these rumors that government agents had infiltrated the movement,

0:00:36.240 --> 0:00:41.360
<v Speaker 1>pushing it towards collapse. It sounded paranoid, right, but you

0:00:41.400 --> 0:00:45.280
<v Speaker 1>know what, Okay it is August twenty eight, twenty twenty

0:00:45.320 --> 0:00:52.519
<v Speaker 1>aparts only four, two pm. It wasn't. I'm Trevor Aaronson

0:00:52.720 --> 0:00:55.960
<v Speaker 1>and I'm a journalist covering federal law enforcement. The Alphabet

0:00:55.960 --> 0:01:00.840
<v Speaker 1>Agencies is the FBI. Sometimes you get it grabbed the

0:01:00.880 --> 0:01:04.200
<v Speaker 1>little guy to go after the big gun. This is

0:01:04.240 --> 0:01:08.200
<v Speaker 1>Alphabet Boys, a new series from Western Sound and iHeart Podcasts.

0:01:08.800 --> 0:01:13.039
<v Speaker 1>Each season we'll take you deep inside and undercover investigation. Okay,

0:01:13.200 --> 0:01:15.959
<v Speaker 1>so you do personal security all over the world. You're

0:01:15.959 --> 0:01:18.520
<v Speaker 1>connected to all these different people. You'll hear recordings that

0:01:18.520 --> 0:01:21.800
<v Speaker 1>were kept secret until now, and you had somebody call

0:01:21.920 --> 0:01:25.160
<v Speaker 1>you and say can you get grenades and guns for

0:01:25.240 --> 0:01:27.920
<v Speaker 1>this guy in Columbia And you'll discover that well, many

0:01:27.920 --> 0:01:30.320
<v Speaker 1>of these cases have plenty of danger and intrigue. I

0:01:30.440 --> 0:01:33.640
<v Speaker 1>just drove for eight hours and then I just stuffed

0:01:33.640 --> 0:01:36.240
<v Speaker 1>my gun in the face of a federal agent. The

0:01:36.319 --> 0:01:40.160
<v Speaker 1>Alphabet Boys also introduced so much absurdity. I got knocked

0:01:40.160 --> 0:01:43.080
<v Speaker 1>off of building about a month ago. On my hip

0:01:43.200 --> 0:01:46.720
<v Speaker 1>is shattered well that it's hard not to wonder our

0:01:46.760 --> 0:01:58.600
<v Speaker 1>America's top cops catching real criminals or creating them. In

0:01:58.640 --> 0:02:02.640
<v Speaker 1>season one, We're headed to Denver. You see seven seven

0:02:03.080 --> 0:02:08.639
<v Speaker 1>five in Denver, Colorado. Today is August twenty fifth, where

0:02:08.720 --> 0:02:12.360
<v Speaker 1>FBI agents are investigating political activists following the murder of

0:02:12.400 --> 0:02:19.760
<v Speaker 1>George Floyd. A mysterious man rolls into town. He's wearing

0:02:19.760 --> 0:02:23.200
<v Speaker 1>military fatigues and he has a cigar dangling from his lips.

0:02:24.200 --> 0:02:28.760
<v Speaker 1>The car he drives is unmistakable a silver horse. He

0:02:28.880 --> 0:02:31.040
<v Speaker 1>was very convincing, but he did explain, you know, he

0:02:31.080 --> 0:02:33.440
<v Speaker 1>was before this bom movement and inside his heart with

0:02:33.440 --> 0:02:35.079
<v Speaker 1>a like a lot of goods. Was this the guy

0:02:35.120 --> 0:02:37.600
<v Speaker 1>the movement needed to take things to the next level?

0:02:37.800 --> 0:02:39.959
<v Speaker 1>The end of the day could come to me. I

0:02:40.120 --> 0:02:45.040
<v Speaker 1>got something before you play stupid games, when stupid prizes?

0:02:45.440 --> 0:02:47.920
<v Speaker 1>Or did he have a secret agenda? He was just

0:02:47.960 --> 0:02:50.799
<v Speaker 1>waiting for me to set the date, the time, a

0:02:51.000 --> 0:02:53.480
<v Speaker 1>meeting spot, and then for sure he was trying to

0:02:53.480 --> 0:02:56.560
<v Speaker 1>get into heaven. He's a bad guy. The bad guys

0:02:56.600 --> 0:03:00.799
<v Speaker 1>are tracing bad guys, and I feel he's gonna keep

0:03:00.800 --> 0:03:03.600
<v Speaker 1>doing this forever if they want to cover up the

0:03:03.639 --> 0:03:08.239
<v Speaker 1>fact that local, state, and federal law enforcement caused violence here.

0:03:09.680 --> 0:03:13.360
