Next weekend. Have a great night story. I'm anderson cooper, the spread of misinformation and conspiracy theories is fleurus, the rise of online social platforms that cater to extremist views with little to no regard for what's true and what's not cnn's donie o'sullivan has spent years talking to people who've fallen for these conspiracy theories. But tonight he's focusing on a group of people you probably haven't heard from young men who were once liberal democrats, but have changed their views and some pretty surprising ways they say after becoming disillusioned with politics time at conferences and there's a subtle arche to a successful like making sure there's plenty of refreshing creating room for stimulating conversation at a good conference, you can feel like you're at home but sometimes conferences mixed bag remember the year she had a got it, sometimes you get a warm welcome. Sometimes you get harassed. It's funny sometimes you even get caught. You arrived in vegas and got hacked within an hour. Sometimes you have to make your own fund memorial day weekend and i'm not at a barbecue. Are watching a parade. I'm in michigan for one of the biggest gatherings of propalestinian activists in the country. Not welcome here, because a 24yearold named jackson henkel, you're not prepared to admit that israel is a terrorist organization. You wrong. Kim jong moon is a peace seeking leader despite what the talking heads safe, we're going to denazify you okay. And then we're going to denazify. You. Just sound completely bonkers. Jackson is holding another much smaller event for gaza across town that's your name. Vivek merrick to reach our yeah. He and his followers called themselves maga communists. And that isn't supposed to be a joke i said, you guys always jackson and your journalism i am math does not look like on the first journalist what you've come all this way to be here. Yeah, i feel like jackson, he always speaks what he thinks. He doesn't have a filter all, right it's about 30 minutes to go, but yeah, let's see if they sell it out i don't know. I don't know what to do, not know what to expect of kids in suits among, the suit's a democrat turned maga communists in a hawaiian tanked up and flipflops who calls himself charm trombone follow me on everything that's your online name? yeah, my online. Not actual name is adam service okay i'm incredibly american, born and raised in then hioe so you're a streamer yeah. Yeah. I've been on truist, but i've been banned off to a few times. They don't like me because i'm very political like these guys. My god, my heroes, which is weird to say since they are younger than me these guys are here? yeah, absolutely. Serious yeah. Yeah. I wouldn't be here if they weren't are you are you a maga communists? absolutely meg communist. I used to hate trump. I would call him not sure if i'm cost her, say bad things well, yeah. Know i used to call him a pedophile, a litter retards, stuff like that because i was a big bernie bro i was like, do anything for burning anything. Right. And that's why i love these guys because they just assume you're smart. They're going to tell you all this morning is stuff and if you don't get it, then you're just going to miss out on the next big thing, which hopefully his maga, communism or at least america's form of communism maga, communism, maga communist, you know, people watching cnn are going to say, you're crazy absolutely. I would hope so everybody great. It's good to be here. We actually have cnn in the building with us tonight there filming some propaganda documentary the crowd here was mostly male and mostly twice. Today's event is called free america to free palestine, shadow to the ai, gods for giving him this beautiful shot of the american cowboys with the palestine flag. We need to stop supporting these genocidal maniacs. Didn't we need to, of course, arrest everyone who is committing these crimes at this very moment, which is almost all of congress and the white house but jackson had barely started gaza. I've been a rush. I've been to china. Their major cities are much nicer before he launched into pro russia and prochina talking points. Now roches better and stronger than ever before, and their leader has a very high approval rating the more america supports real terrorists entities like israel, real terrorists, countries like ukraine, the more that we strengthen our actual enemies. And i will just say once and for all. So piers morgan never asked asked me again. No. I do not condemn hamas jackson, social media following skyrocketed after the october 7 attack on israel, joe biden is plunging us into a fascist state william scott told me. He's a big fan of vladimir most of what is said about vladimir putin in the main street impresses just factually not true. We as communists want to you night with maga voters and finish the job of donald trump as the event came to a close super fans lined up to me jackson inspiring thing i've ever seen in are entirely i've seen a barack obama speak. That was something to. Behold for sure, you'd see all the people there and you think, wow, i'm really a part of something i really don't, i really cannot tell if you're doing a but not everyone who came here was a fan of jackson's i want to you think? i think he's an insane person in zain? yeah, i think he's insane, rightfully criticize america where they should be critical besides within glorifies the chinese communist party, north korea terrorists that have kidnapped and murdered people. I think it's weird how he ties himself to maga. Maga communism when donald trump is the most pro proisraeli president, that's ever lived maga, communism or complete polar office are you going to try to speak to him? yeah. Machar to speak to him. Okay. I'm going to do so as a gentleman candela provocateur in his own rise propped up hamas. Why do we think hamas had the ability to do what they did? that's called propaganda has a history of appearing on online conservative media think. When you talk about, i just want to i want to make sure i understand. When you go into the things about china or russia, i ran especially china, you omit know much about them from texas. And the things that try now have lived in try and i went to a university. You don't say that 100,600 million people in the country still logged on less than $1. 40 today. Well, you don't you say those things, okay. Ok. You're very, very emotional jackson quickly he realize that he wasn't talking just in a cnn propaganda cnn propaganda disguises cnn agent. I'm seeing it as the worst outlet you get out danny but the men that we met here weren't always this way. My name is jackson henkel, a few years ago jackson was campaigning for progressive causes i was blm originally. Blm has been coopted by nato, by the government. And adam aka a charm whole that changed as well. So you money a big you use a big liberal, democrat you are a bernie bro burned go through and through i wanted to find out what had change. Why do you think the russians like he's i speak truth it's good to see you that american politics is schizophrenic but you got one side saying you're crazy, you get the outside saying you're crazy.

And in his own words, he is terminally online hi how are you doing? good, good to see you van i've gotten taller since i've seen you know, i've gotten shorter i think my dad's hiding. He doesn't want to be on cnn. That was your talk all about how this is a funeral parlor was a funeral 100 years ago. This is actually my mom's hometown. Okay. Her dad, world war ii vet, theater. So he passed away i believe for years ago. My mom passed away two years ago. Okay. Her dad always had a saying that was his chair. If you go up to the bathroom or cook something, right, you jump in his chair and then he'd. Come out and say, would you job, but my grave is fast two years later, she jumped right in here. All right. I need to see where you are terminally cleaned up a little bit for you. Thank you. So what i've got is 2k monitor right here, curved samsung odyssey g7, love the sucker, 240 frames a second. Could i like pulling a chair maybe to sit what you're actually yeah. Look like millions of other video gamers. Adam watched his live streams on platforms like twitch, where fellow gamers often talk politics, how many? harris day would you say you play up here play, excuse me. This is this is work right now. This is research. I'm listening today and bond jenna, while also talking to you and playing chess, broglie leg i'm god gamer, right? remember that salivary. How many hours a day are you god gaming and his fulltime job. So anywhere from six to ten hours wow. How disgusting politics politics is this stuff? normally wouldn't have is, you know, i got a discord or being blown up rumble. So i got been gino x secret service telling me all about how jill biden and coco cam can almost allowed trump to get jfk aid and i'll do that while playing for your hands there? i've never had a takeaway whatever had toggled there's nothing more american and taco bell yeah. Could i get for cheesy street to lupus i'm sorry, though. We don't serve what do is worth just never have leftover tonga adam had moved back to his small hometown in rural ohio after years of living in bloomington, indiana city, about four hours away. Tell me though jackson henkel? yeah. Maga communism. Oh, yeah. Maga communism, maga. Songs like so dumbest thing ever. So. It's fine. Yes, boomer, you cannot define it to boomers, right? because i'm a millennial i think, right? yeah. Okay. So it's like i said, you have to remember this communism is the russian word for conservatism no, it's not the next intersection you want to take a left or else we're just going to see a whole bunch of beans and corn he ever miss the bright lights of bloomington no. No, no. You view your time and indiana in the city as kind of like a period of your life that's over an hour right? yeah. Oh, yeah. Campaign for bernie and you're calling all my facebook friends racist because they didn't want when i've over obama in biden was still in the race. So a year i'm guessing you're just not harris fine. She's as'ad bought because there's is. All right. Zionist operated government. We are adam casually bantered in the kind of hateful speech he regularly sees and memes and online slang. Well, what happens in november? what happened with harris wins if are you don't make it to bend and cheat again like they did four years ago because the dnc definitely cheats which bernie just admitted liar. You're saying the only way harris could win is if they cheat? yeah, 1,000%. This is a thing and that's probably what you're going to cut this all up into, is me being like really bad, evil white man races that, oh man, i just take democrats or hate liberals like, riot, much economy is you know, and it's like, okay, one, i was just just a part of them. Look, four years ago i was i was in it right. I've been betrayed by them multiple times. So now i'm trying my hand being betrayed by their products already adams departure from the left has taken them down a dark past to people like white supremacist, nick fuentes, conspiracy theorist alex jones, and maga communist jackson henkel adam is among the eight 8% of bernie sanders supporters in the 2020 democratic primary, who are now pro trump and you actually fight in jackson henkel. Impressive. You actually fundamentally, i have to because one is really good looking. He's fundamentally a handsome man, right? when we first met, you said that being american man, being masculine, it's been kind of equated with toxicity, but it's that's because it is by nature, we are naturally acidic, but we can also bus nuts and create more humans or the one woman has a role in that era. We make the men that's what my mom would always say. There's two things she ever wanted to do in her life, be a nurse and have boys. She did both. That's why she died happy no, no. Died fulfilled. This is why it was such a liberal growing up, because my dad would always listened to rush limbaugh you know, and he's always, yelling. He's really mad about everything and everything is going to share it. And i was like cornyn, a mom, this is toxic. This is bad. Then i just naturally and an aversion to conservatism and men and masculinity. And that's why i got called gay for so much. I mean that in the blonde hair, you've got called gay. Yeah. All the time in this park, constantly. So one thing you brought up, you gotta spell in in a mental health hospital do you take any meds for to give me zyprexa? it was like $280 a month. I laughed at right if you could afford it, would you know? no, i just smoked weed instead. I've been on antidepressants and self her bausch 12 years now. Oh, my jesus well, no wonder you're so good at being true neutral got no emotions. Mess with you. Donie, what's up today, how you're feeling? yes family like yours. Yeah the player on kids call, you know, they called me fat though you're always this fat yes you can change. You've got off those mood stabilizers, start throwing the ball adams use of homophobic bake racist and antisemitic slurs is something that he sees as quote unquote, edgy. You keep saying zogba i'm only uses because i've been listening to a lot of nick fuentes. You're not a nick fuentes fan? not necessarily. I think that he's a white supremacist. Well, think about it. He's okay he's a white proponent. He's an antisemite. He's right, he's really isn't why he loves kanye and alex jones who they've been trying to nail for god knows how long now you are an now. Absolutely i am now absolutely. But you don't believe the stuff he said about sandy hook kids difficult question for you to answer. Well, look at the evidence let's say that he started to look into it and it turns out obama had those kids murdered on purpose, but he did ease. But if they died, that's still a possibility because he was president. But by purpose, i still mean negligence. What about the parents of the children? who were what i hope it isn't good. Jones doing is making these tragedies. So much worse know, how do you get worse than child death? i'll tell you how by having idiots who watch alex jones show up and start harassing the parents of the children who died in the sandy hook shooting that's how you make it worse. Adam and i, we're going around in circles on this nonsense when my photographer andrew weighed in from behind the camera, i just want to say something. I see a lot of view in may yeah. It might told you i grew up five minutes from sandy hook, just i was there, i was there right away. You know, somebody i knew that the nurse her mother was killed that day and i grew up with her daughter and everyone in town knows that dad. Okay yeah, small town when something like that happens, that's why i said earlier that maybe it was obama who killed those children photographer had briefly brought a dose of reality to the fantasy world that adam lives in online travel to the democratic national convention in chicago, where we were about to meet one of his former twitch heroes, hassan piker. What is going on with this roe? chicago put some crazy on their dei and some other familiar face he mike mike lindell's in here, dude yellow guys. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Michael, no massage.
