How do I get the approval of this person?

How do I just mitigate those blowups?

Yes, you do.

No.

Jones told us before we went there, you know, he had this idea that he wanted us to do this tour around the country to go to these what he called the American Caliphate to spread this fear about Islam in America.

So we were sent to Islamberg.

This time we actually gathered information that went directly against what we had presupposed.

We spoke to the mayor of Deposit, which was the closest town.

We spoke to the sheriff.

So we spoke to the officials in the area who had direct connection with those people.

And they all said they were friendly.

They were friendly.

great community members.

Their kids went to school together.

They invited them over for holiday parties.

There wasn't a single thing that they were suspicious of or that they felt that those people had done wrong or anything.

And we did not report that.

We did not – we took a little clip out of context of the sheriff where he was saying, yeah, they shoot guns up there.

They have like a summer program for kids, which in any other circumstance, Jones and the majority of the people that listened to him would be all for.

But because they were Muslims, it was just the most horrifying, terrifying thing that they could possibly imagine.
