Summary
Face of Hate is an intimate portrait of an American domestic terrorist contemplating mayhem in a close-up and unflinching look at right-wing hatred and intolerance in the United States. But the story of Jasen Barker comes with two powerful twists: Filmed over nearly a decade; viewers discover that Barker's broken humanity, loathing, and hostility come from his inability as a child to cope with witnessing his mother's violent death in a car crash. And the other surprise: After his arrest by the FBI and spending years behind bars, Barker truly changes, transforming into a man who understands his aversions are wrong as he lays his hatred down. And that's when a film about hate and evil turns into a beautiful story about love, hope, and forgiveness with a shocking confession in the end. Danish journalist and author Steffen Hou followed in the footsteps of this dangerous extremist for a decade. Hou brings an outsider's perspective to the story, getting closer to Barker than any American reporter could imagine. Over the years, Hou gains Barker's trust, guiding him to chip away at his twisted worldview and showing him a path toward redemption.
On Today's TCT, Steffen and Adam join the show to talk about Jasen and Red's journeys, their motivations for wanting to be in the Klan and to be Neo-Nazis, what made them decide to change their ways, and if they are truly responsible for helping others change their ways as well, and just how close they were to committing a huge destructive act on our soil!

| 0:26.1 | I'm your host, Tim Dennis. |
| 0:27.5 | Got a very interesting show today, folks. |
| 0:29.5 | I want to thank our good friend Alan Warren, |
| 0:31.8 | who forwarded these two guests to me today. |
| 0:34.8 | I got the opportunity to watch a really great documentary this past weekend, and it was |
| 0:40.9 | interesting in this fact. |
| 0:44.0 | I don't know how many of my listeners know this. |
| 0:46.9 | I think I've stated it before that I come from a mixed family. |
| 0:52.0 | I have family or step family. That's, that's African American. |
| 0:58.1 | I love them very, very much. I mentioned last week that my, my step sister's mom passed away. |
| 1:05.5 | And I had talked a little bit about Charlene and dedicated a show last week to Charlene. |
| 1:16.2 | And it was sad that she went. She had a very tumultuous life. |
| 1:19.9 | And I felt kind of bad for my stepsisters because that was their last remaining parent here on earth. |
| 1:26.8 | And I had my own, uh, sad feelings that |
| 1:31.0 | Charlene went. Even though Charlene and I weren't close, it was sad for me that, that the kids |
| 1:37.7 | lost their mother, um, because that was kind of their, their last tie to parents here in Minnesota. I think we all know how it feels |
| 1:45.7 | when we lose a parent here in Minnesota. I won't, I'll digress and leave that for another time. |
| 1:50.7 | I want to get into our guests today. And the reason why I mentioned this mixed families, |
| 1:54.4 | it's because this, this documentary that I got to watch this past weekend really hit me in a different place and |
| 2:02.5 | hit me where I live. The name of the documentary is Face of Hate. And it has to do with one of |
