- [Claudia] We're looking
for spies and she's like, "Hello, I'm very good spy." - [Lucius] Literally a (bleep)ing spy. - [Crissle] Absolutely you could be a spy. You go down there and do
what the (bleep) you do. (patriotic music) - Uh, my name is Lucius Dillon. Today we're gonna talk about Roald Dahl, (blows raspberry) and his
life as a British spy. (stoic music)
World War II, Roald Dahl was a fighter
pilot for the RAF, uh, the Royal Air Force. And he loved fighting them Nazis, and he's like, "Oh, this is great." And so he had to go and fly
to a base in the desert. He ran out of gas, hit the
ground at 75 miles an hour, cracked his skull. He had to drag himself out of the plane before the gas tanks exploded.
(dramatic music) So he was pretty much was, like, invalided out of the Royal Air Force. But then a famous author, C.S. Forester, wanted to interview him about his crash. Dahl was like, "Okay, you know what? My mind's a little spotty. Let me just write down
some notes for you." Forester's like, "Okay,
send it to me later." So Dahl sat down to kinda write it, and his mind was kind of muddled because he went through a crash. But he wrote, like, a really good story, sent it to Forester, and Forester wrote back and was like, "Okay, look, you were
supposed to give me notes, not write a full
(bleep)ing story. (scoffs) This... This is great, this is amazing. I'm not changing a word. I'm sending this straight to
the Saturday Evening Post." So that got sent, and it
was actually really popular. He realized, like, "Okay, I
can tear a pretty good yarn, or, I don't know if that's
the right term, but (laughs) I can write a pretty good story." (spluttering and squeaking) See? You gotta tickle it. You got to know... (laughs) - Just keep going. - Uh, he was the talk of the town, and so he was invited to
a lot of these parties. And he met up with a really cool guy called Bill Stephenson. And Bill Stephenson's like, "Hey, what's going on with you?" And Dahl's just like, "I want to help out England. "I didn't bust my nuff... I didn't bust my nut enough in England. Oh I still didn't do enough." Stephenson was like, "Well, y'know, there is other stuff you can do." So Dahl was hired into a
dark propaganda section referred to as the BSC, which stands for British Security Council. A lot of other people were hired, Noel Coward, who was a
famous playwright and actor, and also Ian Fleming, who some people might know as James mother(bleep)in' Bond. And Stephenson was like, "Let's put you into some
good political parties, and meet everyone you (bleep)in' can and report everything back to us." He was like, "Okay." So here's Roald (bleep)in' Dahl, tall, handsome mother(bleep)er, long-ass face, eloquent-ass tongue. But every time when he was at the party, like, he'd be eavesdropping
on newspaper people, politicians and secretly just,
like, scribbling, you know, little things on, like, napkins, and reporting it to England. He would also get into finding information through pillow talk. He had a list of ladies
that he would go through, like Cissy Patterson had her claws into the Washington Herald-Times, and she's like, "You
want to see the boudoir?" And he's like, "Yes, please." So he (bleep)ed the sh(bleep)
out of her for a while and got whatever
information that he could. Then he went to Evalyn McLean. She knew every politician in the world, so they (bleep)ed a lot. So he met Claire Booth Luce. She was a congresswoman, and they, uh, (bleep)ed (chuckles) And he got so much information through so much of his dick. But after a while, and
this is an exact quote, like, he called Ambassador
Halifax and was like, "Look, I am (bleep)ed out, okay? This goddamn woman has (bleep)ed me from one end of the room to the other. I'm done. I can't do it, I'm squirting dust." And the ambassador's like, "Just close your eyes
and think of England." And Dahl's like, "Great,
okay. I guess I will." - Get your chin off my neck.
- I'm just... - No, it's...
- Get your chin off my neck. - No, that wasn't... My chin wasn't on you at all. - I feel like we're laying on two Muppets. - (laughs) Yes. (coughs) - Oh, Jesus. Is this your death scene? If you die on the show, we're (bleep)ed. - [Lucius] Okay, so FDR
is in his third term. Britain was like, "Okay, he's getting old. "We are worried that he's gonna die, because he's our biggest
supporter right now. You need to let us know
everything that's wrong with him." And he's like, "Yeah, I'll be right over." Uh, and now I'm here, right now. And so, luckily, Eleanor
Roosevelt is like, "Hey, I'm a big fan of
yours, so meet my husband." And he's like, "Oh, yeah,
nice to meet you, FDR." "Nice to meet you too, Roald Dahl." And they have a lovely time. They drink a lot. So he took note of everything, wrote it all in a 12 page document, and it worked out very
well until FDR died. And then the war ended, and Dahl's life as a spy was over. He was like, "(bleep), what can I do now?" He's like, "Well, I need to make a buck, "so let me just go for
the easy money and just... "I'll just write some
(bleep)ing children's novels. That'll be great." So he wrote "James and the Giant Peach", which was amazing. And then in the same year, he wrote "Charlie and
the Chocolate Factory", which, holy sh(bleep), was the best. And he wrote "Charlie and
the Great Glass Elevator", wrote "The Witches", wrote "The BFG", wrote "Fantastic Mr. Fox". He's hands down, (bleep) Dr. Seuss, the greatest children's
author of all time. And he was a (bleep)ing spy! Literally, a (bleep)ing spy. And because of his dick,
England was a better place. I enjoy jay-drinking. I enjoy drinking with you.
- Jay-drinking? (dramatic beat) - Hello, I'm Claudia O'Doherty. And today we are gonna be
talking about Virginia Hall, who was a very good spy. (bright music)
So, in 1906, in Baltimore, Virginia Hall was born. And she's like, "I love Europe. Maybe I should get a job
for the foreign service. I'm very qualified for that kind of thing 'cause I'm so smart
and good at languages." And then she takes the entrance exam for the foreign service, but she fails because
it's a very hard exam. She was very sad when she got the results, she was like, "Oh, man." But she said, "You know what? I need to blow off some steam." And then she decided to go to Europe. And she's having a good time. When she was in Turkey in
1933, though, she was like, "Hey, friends, let's
go on a hunting trip." And they're just having a very good time shooting all the animals. And then she's like, "I'll
just climb over this wall... Or a fence. I'll just
climb over this fence." And she's climbing over,
her legs get caught, and she shot her left foot off. Ow.
- Ah. - Mm-hmm. And she gets fitted with
a custom prosthetic leg. And she called her leg Cuthbert. - [Waters] Cuff bit? - [Claudia] Cuthbert. - [Waters] Cuthbert. - That's what she calls it. And then what happens? World War II.
(dramatic music) And she's like, "Hmm, huh, not cool. But anyway, I know what I'll do. I'll sign up to be an ambulance driver for the ambulance corps." That's a very dangerous
job in Paris, in 1939, and she is like, "I don't even care". So, then, she goes to London. She goes to a dinner party, and the dinner party's in a bomb shelter, during an air raid. So, she's having a good
time at the dinner party, and she meets this
woman named Vera Atkins, who is like, "Ooh, this
woman could be of use to us." So she says to Virginia, "By the way, I work for SOE: Secret
Operations Executive. It's a British spy gang." And she brings in this
big, handsome French guy, and he says, "Would you
like to be a spy for us?" And Virginia is like, "Yes,
that would be incredible." So, she goes back to France, and she assumes a new identity. And she's just, like, a
really nice journalist. But actually, she's organizing
the French Resistance. So, she's supplying weapons, supplying money, organizing guys. She's also organizing
escapes from prison camps. She is just causing such
trouble for the Germans. And they're hearing
rumors about this woman who was organizing the French Resistance. And they didn't know who she was, but they knew that she had a limp, which was embarrassing for Virginia, 'cause she didn't think
she did have a limp, so that's a very sad
part of the story, right? And the head of the
Gestapo is Klaus Barbie, who's also known as the Butcher of Lyon. And he's like, "What I wouldn't give "to get my hands on the
neck of that bitch." - [Waters] You said bitch. - Yeah, but he was a bad guy, so he used terrible language. So, everybody's looking for her now. There are "wanted" posters everywhere with her likeness on them. They're like, "Look out
for this limping lady." And she's like, "Excuse
me, I don't even limp." But she probably... Anyway. So she's like, "How am I gonna get out? "I can't go through any
of the checkpoints." So, because she's got no other option, she hikes over the
snowy Pyrenees Mountains with one leg, and she gets out of there. But then, who's entered the war? The Americans. And they're like, "We're
looking for spies", and she's like, "Hello,
I'm a very good spy." And they're like, "Great, but you're gonna need a
really good disguise." And so she dyed her hair gray, put on two skirts and two sweaters, and she had her fillings changed, so she had French fillings rather than American fillings. - She looks like Mrs. Doubtfire? - Exactly.
- Yeah. - And also, she shuffled, so she didn't have a limp anymore. So then she goes back into France, and she's just delivering
cheese everywhere. But actually, she is wreaking havoc. She's blowing up bridges, blowing up train lines, cutting telephone lines, but it's very dangerous. The whole time, the Germans
are looking for her. And then the war ended. - That's kind of good.
- So, that was good. So then Truman is like, "I'm gonna give you a medal." And it is called the
Distinguished Services Cross. So, she gets the award, and she goes, "You know what I'd like to do now? I'd like to finally
join the Foreign Service like I've always wanted." And they're like, "Budgetary cutbacks. You can't be in the foreign service. But we've got this new organization. Would you mind joining that?" And that turned out to be the CIA. And so she's the first
woman to ever be recognized as a member of the CIA's career staff. So, Virginia Hall was a true legend, and she didn't let anybody tell her what she could and couldn't do. "Not bad for a girl from Bal'more." (dramatic beat) - Hi, my name is Crissle, and today we're gonna talk about the Civil War spy Harriet Tubman. So Harriet Tubman does
not get her just due. Like, you hear her name, and you think, she led the slaves to freedom. But you most certainly do not know that she was a spy for the Union. - [Waters] Mm.
- So the thing was, when the Civil War started, Harriet Tubman was like, "Wait a minute. I can do way more." So she went down there to Port Royal, which is in South Carolina, and the Union had, like, taken it over. But it was still com... It was still, like... Like, not smothered and covered. That's (bleep)ing, like, biscuits. It was... It was surrounded by confederacy, like, places and sh(bleep). And at first, she's just like a regular-ass
person, she was a nurse. And that's when she was like, "I know I can do better than this. Like, I know can free way more slaves than what you guys are doing right now." And that's when she went to
the colonel and was like, "I could totally be a spy for you. I have connects, like, when I dress up and sh(bleep), those people have no idea who I am." And the colonel was like... (belches) Excuse me. I got, like, a good 15 minutes left in me before the liquor takes over, and God only knows what I'll say. - That's great. (Crissle laughs) - And so then the colonel was like, "Yeah, obviously my white
ass can't go down there. Absolutely, you can be a spy. You go down there and do
what the (bleep) you do." So she was like, "Okay, let me put on my field hand clothes." And she was, like, five feet tall, so it was very easy for her to, like, blend into the background. And she is able to, like,
go to the plantations, and she was like, "Hey, guys, like, not to stir up any (bleep) or whatever, but, like, I know y'all
are tired of being slaves. I was totally tired of being a slave. And none of us have to be
slaves anymore, so, like, whoever's down to help the
Union, just let me know." So everybody was like, "Cool." And then she would go out, she had these friends who were mariners, which are basically just, like, people who work in the water, like, with water sh(bleep). And she's like, "I know
there are mines out here, so let's work together and find
out where this sh(bleep) is, because I'm a spy, and I'm
gonna get this sh(bleep), like, I'm gonna burn this sh(bleep) down." And so then she went back to the colonel, and she was like, "I have this idea to burn up all the plantations. Here's all my research, and you should just let me do it. And the colonel was
like, "Well, (bleep) it. Like, I don't have (bleep) to lose. Like, let's work together
and burn that (bleep) down." And so they got together,
and she was like, "Listen, this is about to be... Like, I'm not even about
to bull(bleep) you. This is about to be some bull(bleep). Like, this is about to be,
like, a real stealth operation. You mother(bleep) have never seen no sh(bleep) like this before. "Like, I got some dope-ass
(bleep) planned out. "But I need y'all to all be down and just do what the (bleep) I say. "I got this sh(bleep)." And June 1, 1863, yes. On 1863, they begin this raid. So Harriet Tubman is, like, on the Combahee River and (bleep). She was like, "I'm down for
this (bleep), like, I'm ready." And so when the raid started, like, she knew where the mines and
sh(bleep) were in the water. She and her team of mariners
were able to be like, "Aw, (bleep) that, aw, (bleep) that. Like, we're not gonna get caught by your stupid-ass traps,
you (bleep)in' slave owners." And then the owners of the plantation, these crazy-ass racist white people would see all these black people coming, and they'd be like, "What
the (bleep) is this?" What the f... What the... The mic moved. (laughs)
- Oh, right. Yeah, yeah. - Is it still... I'm sorry. I'm focused. And they were like, "Hey, hey, racist-ass white person. Here's another racist-ass white person here to warn you that, you know, Harriet Tubman is coming with her army full of bad bitches." And so then they would start
shooting and sh(bleep), but by then, Harriet Tubman was like, "Bitch, you're too late. Like, me and my people are already here." And guns back then was (bleep), like, just basic as (bleep). Them guns wasn't doing sh(bleep). So they would take their
torches and sh(bleep) and be like, "Yah!" And go there and go in and just (bleep)in' burn these
plantations down and then dip. And then they would go again. Like, this raid, it was 25
miles along the Combahee River. And they're just, like,
burning (bleep) down, freeing slaves, getting on the boat, traveling again, avoiding the mines. And so at the end of the day, night... End of the raid, Harriet Tubman was like, "Goddamn, I freed 750 slaves. Like, this (bleep) is dope as hell." And her plan... It was the first military operation that was executed and
led by an American woman. And it was planned by a former slave who could not read or write, who was only five feet tall, who was both black and a woman. And she still pulled this sh(bleep) off. She helped the Union win the war. She freed, like, at least
1,000 slaves in her lifetime. She was just dope as hell. God, black people have been
through so much sh(bleep). Black people have been through so much. - I don't know how to respond to that. (Crissle laughs)
Except, I agree. (dramatic beat) - Hello. (giggles) I'm Sugar Lyn Beard. And I'm about to take you through the story of Mata Hari. - Cheers.
- Cheers. (glasses clink)
Thank you for having me. I'm so excited to tell you this story because she's kind of like the grandmother of the striptease. - Whoa.
- She's an icon. - You had me at "grandmother."
(Sugar laughs) (intrepid music)
- So our story begins in 1903 when a Dutch woman named Margaretha Zelle moves over to Paris. She's like, "I'm in Paris. I have no money. What can I draw on? Oh, my gosh. I spent two years in..." (belches) Ooh, that's gross. "I spent two years in Indonesia learning the dances." So she decides to make
up a persona for herself. She becomes Mata Hari, the exotic Indonesian dancer. She's like, "Come to my show. You'll see what dances
are like in the Far East." She does her first very big
show in this big fancy theater. She's, like, performing
in front of high society, and she's, like, tearing veil by veil, and underneath that, she's pretty naked. And it's like, "Oh, shit. This is traditional? I can hang in for this." And she, like, peel this one off and then peel this one off. And she's getting away with it because people are like, "It's not a naughty thing. No, this is a cultural
educational experience." "I need to watch this woman strip down to her nitties." - Nitties?
- Nitties. It's like a titty, but covered a little bit.
- Mm. - Mm-hmm. And with every veil that dropped, her audience loved her more and more. And with that, she became the number one exotic dancer in all of Europe. Oh. I'm spilling on my face. - Careful. (gasps) Jeez. - Well. (chuckles) Mm. (bright music)
So, she's dancing. She's gettin' rich. And she was a lover, so she was taking a lot
of these men to bed. They're giving her money and jewels and golds for this relationship. Not goals. Golds. - Yeah. Give-a me goals, please. - Give me goals. Look at my nitties for goals. (chuckles) So, Mata Hari is performing in Berlin. It is 1914 in July and the war breaks out, and the German authorities come and they're like, "You love the French? Fuck you. We're taking your golds and your jewelry, and now you have nothing." And she's distraught, and she's like, "Ugh, fuck every thing." (giggles) Hold up. Here it is, wait a minute. (laughs) Oh, no, shit. (giggles) I'm so drunk. Hold on. I'm so fucked up. (sinister music)
And so Mata Hari is approached by the Germans, and they're like, "Hey, Mata Hari. You're cool, you're sly. I got 20K francs for you to
spy on the French for me." Mata Hari's sitting there, she's like, "Oh, this is a good deal,
that's a lot of money." So she agrees, she's like, "Okay, shit." And he's like, "Your code name is H21," and she's like, "Fun. Okay." Off he goes, and Mata Hari turns around and she pockets that cash and she's like, "Fuck these people. No. They stole my shit. They owe me." (giggles) She doesn't spy for the Germans. She just goes on this
luxurious tour of Europe. She's living it up. She's spending like crazy, to the point that she gets the attention of this dude named Ladoux. - Ladoux?
- Ladoux. - [Waters] The Dude? - (giggles) Okay, hold on. So, oh, oh, shit.
(dramatic music) Georges Ladoux is part of the French counterespionage bureau. "We need to find someone fuckin', you know, betraying France. We need to... We need to catch a spy." Ladoux wants to put somebody
on trial for betraying France. Did it, Mata Hooit was... So he goes after Mata Hari. (giggles) - What a Ladouchebag. (Sugar laughs) - So Ladoux's out there, and he ends up following Mata Hari kind of everywhere she goes for a while. Ladoux finally reaches out to her. He's like, "Hey, Mata Hari. What's up? Like, you don't know me. I don't really know you yet. I think you're cool. You should spy for us, the French." Mata Hari's like, "Yo,
I don't trust nobody. I will do this for you, though, because I love Franch." I'm saying "Franch." - [Waters] "Franch?" (chuckles) - Oh, my God, I wish I
could do everything drunk. (Waters laughs)
I really do. This is nice.
(bright music) Okay. She's like, "I believe in your side of the war, and also I'll do it for cash money." Ladoux was like, "Absolutely. We'll give you a ton of cash." But Ladoux doesn't give her any spy tips. (ice clinks in glass) Anyway, so she has no idea how to spy, but Mata Hari takes it upon herself to seduce a German diplomat. She is like, "You're hot, do you know?" And he was like, "Oh, my god, oh, my god! They're launching on
the coast of Morocco!" (Waters laughs) So then, she writes a very
detailed letter to Ladoux. She has the intel. Germany troops are landing
on the coast of Morocco. Ladoux takes all of this information and he uses it against her.
(dramatic music) He says, "How the fuck
does this bitch know all of this detailed information if she's not actually
working for the Germans?" (giggles) So then Mata Hari is arrested. - Oh.
- Yeah. On 19... (laughs) Hold on, here it comes. On February 17th, 2017...
(both laugh) Okay, so, here we go. On February 1917, 1917, Mata Hari goes to trial. Ladoux, (snorts) he's like, "How could she have all this information? Like, the only way she
could have this information is if she's working for the other side. She's not smart, she's a woman. Fuck this bitch, I'm scapegoating her. Whatever."
(solemn dramatic music) And she's like, "He's
bullshitting everybody. He said that... all of that, and it was a lie." (giggles softly) At the end of the day, (tense dramatic music)
the jury was like, "This woman is immoral. You know, love affairs and having sexy dancing. We think this woman should die, I guess." They sentenced her to death by execution. "Firing squad."
(Waters gulps) Yeah, whoa! That is good! Do it again. (Waters gulps)
(Sugar laughs) (Sugar gulps)
(Waters laughs) (somber music)
Okay. Mata Hari is at her escution... (snorts) (somber music stops suddenly) At her exec...
(Waters chuckles) (somber music resumes)
At her execution. She looks at her lawyer. (kiss smacks) And then she looks at
her priest. (kiss smacks) Blows kisses. (blows) She looks them dead in her eye. (giggles) Dead in their eye. Before she's shot to death. Pow, pow, pow, pow, pow. Pow, pow, pow, pow. And she dead. Oh, my God, Derek, the funny thing is, four days after Mata Hari's
excecution... (giggles) Ladoux, this bitch, was arrested on espionage bullshit. Fuck that bitch. (dramatic music)
Ladoux was a spy upon spies. Ladoux was a lie upon lies. Ladoux was a real a not, lies. It's not real. At the end of the day, she was never a traitor. She was an honest woman. Mata Hari was the first example of women stepping out and being progressive and saying, like, "Yo. This is what I need. This is just who I am." She showed up earlier than anybody-body. - That was so good, Suge. - Sure. ♪ I love my life ♪ ♪ I'm in the big leagues ♪ ♪ I'm right here with you, ♪ ♪ And we're doing Drunk History ♪ Hold on, shit. (dramatic beat) - Hello! (laughs)
(ice clinks in glass) Hello. Today, we're gonna talk about the KKK and the guy who took them down, Superman. (dramatic music)
In the Southern United States, in the 1940s, there was a pervasive sense of racism. Groups like the KU Klux Klan
began to gain prominence and they were doing really horrific stuff. Stetson Kennedy. He's just a regular Southern guy, who's working as a door-to-door
salesman in Georgia. (soft dramatic music)
And he thinks to himself, how can one guy make a difference? Stetson Kennedy made the decision, "I am going to infiltrate
the Ku Klux Klan, learn their secrets, and expose them." (tense music)
So he goes to a bar, that he knew was populated with Klansmen, and this guy walks up to him, and he says, "Hey, how you doing? I'm Slim." And Stetson Kennedy, he's playing coy at this
time, he's like, "Oh, hi." You know, they chat at the bar, and then eventually, it comes around to talk of the KKK, and Slim says, "Well, you know, I'm a member of the Ku Klux Klan." And Stetson's like, "Oh, really?" And the guy says, "Yeah. If you're like-minded, then we might have a place
for you in our organization." And so Stetson Kennedy's like, "All right, I'm gonna go do this." (tense music continues)
They pick him up one night, they drag him out to his
final swearing-in ceremony. So the Klan was all like... the Klan's all like, "Ooh, this is all super secret, and if you do this, then you hold your hand up like this, and then you put your
hand over your heart, and then you hold your hand out like this, and then you wave twice, and then you say, 'I believe in the tenets of the Klan'." He becomes a full-fledged
member of the Klan. Stetson Kennedy discovered
the childish, dumb sh(bleep) that these guys would do. They were dumb secrets, like, "We're meeting at
the Klavern at midnight." It was secrets that little kids would have if they had a fort. It was like, "No girls
allowed in the Klan-klave." Like, the Klan-klave? This is the "Klan-klave," and... Can we do the handshake? Do you want to do the handshake? - Yeah, yeah, yeah.
- Okay. This is... This is a handshake of the Ku Klux Klan. It's a left-handed, limp-wristed... - Limp, okay.
- Limp-wristed, like this. - [Waters] Then we both know we hate... - We both know we hate black people. So... I'm gonna lay on the floor, but I'm gonna be focused, I promise. Can you hear me?
- Mm-hmm. - Do you mind if I lay right here? (hopeful music)
Stetson Kennedy, he's walking down the street one day and sees a couple of kids playing spy, and he thinks, "Oh, my
god, these spy games that these little kids are playing look remarkably similar to the way that the Ku Klux Klan
actually deals with life and the world around them." Stetson Kennedy found the
people that were in charge of the Superman radio show, and he said, "I know the
secrets of the Ku Klux Klan. What do you guys think
about a series of episodes where Superman takes down the Klan? I'm your guy." And the people at Superman said "Sure."
(heroic music) For 10 episodes of the
Superman radio show, Superman fought the KKK. "Up in the sky, it's a bird, it's a plane. No, it's Superman! Superman, battling valiantly against the Clan of the Fiery Cross. Jimmy Olsen, protected
by the power of Superman and his mighty might." I don't (bleep)ing know. (Waters laughs) (dramatic music)
"Careful, Jimmy, don't touch that fiery cross." "Ah, shucks, Mr. Kent, whatever you say." There was no YouTube, there was no podcasts. Everybody listened to the radio. As this was happening, Stetson Kennedy would call them and say, "Here are the new passwords that the KKK are using this week. The codeword was 'Anglo'. The password was 'American'." The next week on the Superman show, Superman would show up and say, "Anglo." And one of the bad guys would
respond with, "American." The kids of the Klansmen
were playing Superman against the KKK. Following the broadcast
of the Superman episodes, one of the heads of the
Klavern said to the leader, "Sir, I cannot, in good conscience, continue as a member of this Klavern when my own children are poking fun at the Clan of the Fiery Cross. (suspenseful music) (Mark sneezes) (Mark sneezes) - [Waters] Bless you. - [Mark] Thank you. (Mark sneezes) (Mark sneezes) When Stetson Kennedy had
taken the secrets of the KKK and made them public
knowledge... (sneezes) - Bless you.
- Thank you. (Mark begins to sneeze) (Mark exhales) (Mark sneezes)
- Bless you. - Thank you.
(Waters laughs) (heroic music) Thanks to Stetson Kennedy,
the Klan was defeated. Nobody wanted to join. Stetson Kennedy made damn sure. The (bleep) that the Klan was pulling was viewed by the people
of the United States as worthy of ridicule and in so many words, (bleep)ing stupid. (stoic music)
