So watching the stream today, the story also us combat veterans struggling with p t. S the tomato plan to bomb a mosque. You will not believe what happened next. His stories told him to show documentary stranger at the game. When i 1st saw him, most of this something not right. Well this guy was let us assume to be that he was walking kind of fast as hey, was kind of down base and back and forth. I was hoping for at least 200. 00 or more injured. You know, he thought he was doing the right thing or with muscles in his mind the, when i tell people this story, they tell me that they dont believe that calls my mom, the mother theresa and the missile community. And its definitely true. I invited him over put on the help its, except to mention fee, from my heart is welcome the i couldnt never, in a 1000000 years pay this community what theyve given me the. So were going on a journey from hate to acceptance via kind. This joining us talk about the film, the people around me president of the stomach sent to us in the muncie in indiana. Also in muncie, indiana, richard mac mckinney. Hes a live coach and t hate at twist. The public speaker, which is mckinney can i call you back. Absolutely. All right, welcome back. And in new york, just us staff tell who direct to the documentary this evening. Not joshua. So great happening here. We have a youtube audience who are standing by with the comments ready to ask you a question. So there you go. Youtube audits, you can jump in any time we stop mac with a situation where you are planning to bomb. Most of its nearby to you. Why over the years ive developed a hatred for as long as muslims it had it a basically just built and built over time to where i the only way that i saw of making any kind of concession on this was to eliminate as many of them as i could the fast, the, the thing for a top layer of somebody who sees all the pay for something different. When you say, then its like those people know anything to do with you in the military. The way you could make sense of the killing was told to buy a high off the official like mac. This is how you have to think about it. And i want to share that movement in the documentary because it helps us understand what was mac, even think its, have a look. I was in the military for a long time. Around 25 years. Towards the end of my military career, i was totally different person defect of being involved, so many deaths over heres the crazy man. I dont even know the i probably would have been committed if they would actually know the way i was asking the one time i had a discussion di, ranking person, about coping to be streaming, max number range or sheet of paper target long issues and looked at them as anything but human . Any problems. So no. Okay, that makes sense. Thats what i did. Just the baby. Do you remember the 1st time you met matt . Cool. Your 1st impressions. Thank you. When i 1st met mac, i mean as a say or he look scary and concern. But in spite of that, i respectfully welcome him and with kindness and respect and understood how he was a human. And as we would have best home, i mean, what do you use . I know its been a while. Thats a basic number that i didnt, i guess get the scary things but, but, well, cuz we kind of like what we do disagree things. Everything was doing in the mosque. I mean, this was part of the palm, right . Well actually me being in the mosque was not part of the plan. In order to i, i want a tangible evidence. I knew what i believed to be true to the fax. The thing was that i wanted to be able to, to show my daughter, even though she was going to lose her father. I wanted to show my daughter that see these people really are eve. And i went to the source. Yeah, im joshua hugh. Were trying to place this story together and tell this story for documentary phone that moment way. We seen mac. Oh, we see that mike is casing the mosque and that is terrifying. And for a long part of the document you, i think its going to end in an awful way. Did you do that deliberately . Well, we, we wanted to tell a story with some within new kinds of heroes heroes like, like baby and like her, her husband solver. And we wanted to make a film that didnt just preach to the choir and you know, so many film so many documentaries, even ones that ive made, i think end up preaching to the choir and we wanted to film to be different. We wanted to, we want this film to, we want people to watch this film who maybe need to watch this film. Need this message, need to understand. I have a better understanding of, of muslims have a better understand. Ready of their own biases and we, so we told the story in a way that was, is very gripping and draws you in and hasnt almost a true crime. Tell me what im saying. This is no going to n. Well, joshua for a long time. Yeah. I mean we, we took around that, its a, its a true crime. Yeah. Story was without a crime. Best guy. Yeah. The so yeah, because i wasnt happy and you know, its a, its a story about sky. No. And just about that, the best phone number that might have been noting all the way for you this a little bit. Well, why you nothing as well. I mean, i totally agree with josh. No, he did him in his team. Thats such a wonderful job of piecing this together. And a lot of people have come up to me after theyve watched it. They says, oh my gosh, i was shop. Yeah, i thought it was gonna add totally different twist, you know . And they told me when i saw me being interviewed, they thought i was being interviewed. I was actually in blue cross and i thought you were in town and i was like, oh no, i have no reason how the district get access to prison. To talk to matt. I was, i was confused. I was like, wow, i yeah, i think i thought you were in a lot of trouble just the beeping you also noting as joshuas type of how are you wanting to tell the story that yeah, i think uh, i think we were to assume the kind to him, we did not put him in jail. Thats why hes not in due to the last to be able to welcome him for him and save his life. All right in their life that with that being of the members life. Yeah, i think of the job done was done by joshua, how would he percent . Thats a documentary to me to watch it. And i know when i did interview, ill give you a little bit of background on why i did it by the one i truly watch. I said this the entropy who wants to read the story and i would like to talk, this is a real thing, and this is still professionally well done in how he put these pieces together. And the student had happened in 2000 and minor was in this was he was working on in 2021. Its been a while, but very impressed how we did it again continually that it was amazing message. And i think thats what i, its very dear to my heart because of the message how we shed this through documentary and how he organized it in a short 30 minutes. Uh huh. Yeah. So it was very much i passed into that 30 minutes. You feel like youve watched an entire feature film by the time you get to the end of it. Theres a lot of tension in the documentary and theres a pop way. Im not pulling anything for you because you have to watch. I mean, takes 30 minutes to one year as a pop way goes to the most because he is planning to do something awful. And he needs to tell his step daughter. He needs proof to tell his that feels like its right. These people are living amongst us and i need to do something about it. Have a listen. Have a look at this part of the film that i need to be able to show up for. I need to be able to show the rest of the world. So i went to the Design Center to get the proof. I want i want to be with these people because if i walk inside this building, i might have come down. So i walk in the building and all of a sudden its like i felt my stomach tighten up. Just i know i tried to keep my senses about me. I have very anxious. I didnt trust them. I, i considered myself. Somebody is a, a future new story on now to 0. By the end of the night, i figured they would have been in the basement with a sore demoss road. Like they got you out to 0. 5. It fed thanks way it was, it is a garage. Yes. The walking into the last of walking into the most. That was the moment that changed your life and probably a lot of peoples lives in the most because that was the beginning of how kindness of a comes heights. So yeah, telephone. So, um, you know, when it was, when i went in there, i was very, you know, i feel very an easy um and uh, i was met with open arms. Smiles. How close you know. Uh glad you could be here. And then, you know, one of the brothers gave me a come up to me and he handed me a cron. And he says, read this. Come back when you have questions. And i was like, man, they give me the all the evidence. And theyre going to explain it to me like this is great. Yeah, yeah, at but, but as i was piecing the 2 together between how i was being treated and what was in the koran. My impression of islam was the people who had been shooting at me. Okay. And, but when i came here and i started reading the scripture and knowing how religion works to where youre supposed to live your life according to the scriptures as closely as you can. Well, i solve that in, muncie. I didnt see that overseas. So that tells me that obviously the people in muncie are actually a true or representation of what is what im really is. And it changed my whole perspective, you know, and thats when i started understanding that a more, more about human beings and they, they make the decisions they make. And the ways that they act simply driven by greet joshua, who looking very thoughtful, articulate those thoughts, go ahead as well. I think that when mack went to the mosque, he had just had a big argument with his 8 year old daughter. And you know, she had yelled at him because he said something is on the phone, but he said something negative about muslims. And his 8 year old daughter confronted him and said like, what are you thinking like, whats wrong, whats wrong with your dad . And thats when he went to the mosque was in the week of that argument because um, you know, he wanted to make sure he was right. That he, that his plan to bomb the boss was the right thing to do. And this little 8 year old had made him question his plans. And i think that when he went in there his, i think his guard was down a little bit. I think i think there was a tiny crack in his armor. There was a tiny, like opening for love to come in, and when he met b, b, and solver, and joe mo and the other members of the mosque. And they were so nice to him and, and so kind and welcoming that are kind of blew his minds i think is he didnt know what to think. But he started to think like maybe i maybe i am wrong. Maybe maybe ive got this whole thing wrong. And it was amazing moment where, you know, be through her kind this i think started to change his mind and melt away the hatred that he had in his heart. And she didnt even know. Like maybe you didnt know anything about what his plans were. Now i did not, as you know, i mean i would do the store, i knew on that i was less than a family that we always took care of stranger. My father also took care of the people i loved and the homeless. And when i came across anybody, because i had to do that, is your choice and taking care of a i dont to do that. Then my husband being a medical doctor, work in his office, experiencing 2 things is due by the now we have dealt with on top walks of life and we have comforted all kinds of people to tell her life and we have give them place. And now home, they have sped with us for months and weeks to, to before we let them go. And the same thing though. So when, when i did this was a matter of what i thought of me to invite him over. Nothing im sitting on the table where he was sitting with us having a demo. And i think that also was part of a way of life for me, but it was a huge impact on math. And not just having welcomed him in the sense that it especially and then inviting him over to a house. And she had a meeting with him and sit down and listen to his story. I dont think he had this kind of body spread and i can send him being bought it and listen to. I mean that something impacted him a lot. And then obviously continuously that was not only that thing and we also give him a part of the leadership when i asked him to be the president based on the same student association. And these are what are you supposed to do, but i dont know what im doing that. So now what do i want to help you . The same as out as a guy either. So yes, to figure out what is the what, how can he be head of the month . See most how is that possible . Because what happened to you not, this is a little bit between you going into the most being very unhappy with your muslim neighbors. And then you became walked as well. First of all, i became the president of the Muslim Students association and uh at both, both State University here in muncie, macintosh, and that was shipped to its you forgot to say that you didnt seem to be asked to be k muslim. Well yeah, i was getting into the well yeah, i became a movie so. So this weeks week comes in and hes asking my husband and the other people, i want to become less of them and the husband say, now what are you talking about, mac . No, you need to study more than get ready. Now i can look back, talk about that. All right, go ahead. Right . Yeah, yeah. So, yeah, so thats an interesting story. So. So 8 to, to even go back to just a little bit. No one knew about this plan about my everybody that knew me knew i hated most, but nobody knew the extent of my hatred and nobody knew that i was planning to do anything. Uh my wife didnt even know until after the fact she knew when the, the i showed up at the house. I know that opened up a door and well get back to that. But when i went there, and finally, after all my studying and my, my conversations and, and i and all the, all the acquaintances i was touched. I was touched by the koran. And, and i, i, i had to be a most, i, i just had to and i, it was funny because i went into the mosque on a, on a friday. And for juma and i went up to the doctor and there was another brother. Right now youre showing off, but g, but you went in surprise, right . Yes, yeah. Okay. Yeah, so, so i was a, so i, i went up to solver and another brother shop. Uh and says hey, i wanna take chicago and they both, it was funny because they both looked at me. They both looked at each other. They looked back at me and they said, no, they said youre not ready. Do you need to learn more . Right, right. And i and so i looked at them and said, well, then we all have a locked door and they live both both um with back at each other and both them looked back at me and they said, all right, come, all right, yeah, sure, a mac system maybe if this was a movie, it will be on believable. The fact that its real life is extraordinary. That we spoke to most of the above a, hes from the African American foundation. And theres a big a message to this film if they needed to be one, i dont think that needs to be one, but there is a big a message. And most of the land is on that big a message. Its have a listen to have a look kind this does change. I think it kind of does change hatred to, to love to community, to connection and, and specifically stranger at the gate shows up in a really beautiful way. And i think it, it also, it also goes and challenges a lot of assumptions that Many Americans may have about as long and muslims. I think Many Americans, quote, unquote knows about these long and knows about muslims. But they have never to spend time and really get to know most of them and close up. I mean, joshua, this is why you were drawn to make this documentary because way we are not just in america in the world right now. How to evaluate people and you experienced it as a young boy as well . No. A is a phone, it is left it on the phone yet, but you you experienced being. I hated it because of your jewish heritage of jewish background. So thats why you came to the field, thats what drew you to the field. What do you make us reaction . I mean, the reason we wanted to tell this story is because we felt like the story is needed right now. We felt that, you know, as you mentioned, that this is a moment of Great Division in our country, and thats how you know, its not often that we come across a story about a would be a crime that turns into a happy ending that turns into above that shows the power of kindness, the kindness that love conquers, hate me and i was so. Ready drawn to this story and to the actions of the, the congregants at the islamic center, muncie, phoebe and solver and joe, and everybody in what they did that the way they welcomed mac into their congregation and the way that they treated him with kindness. And it literally saved
