the only people who testify are butler, a newspaper reporter butler enlisted as an independent investigationre and a lawyer for one of the maybe lower-level industrialists who is behind the error of the singer sewing wishing fortune. as a more detailed investigation, we just don't know the extent to which the duponts, for instance, were involved in the planning of a business plot. ey may have been fully involved and just stopped anning once butler blew the whistle or it is possible murphy had not got them involved yet. juan: what was the reaction of the press at the time to the claims of butler? might be instructive given the things that we are going through today. >> it was ridicule. this was big news at the time. the story ran on the front page of "the new york times" but they kind of divided it in half and half of a column on the front, which were these hilarious denials by the accused. "time magazine" which was owned by henry luce, billion air son of missionaries to china, you know, ran sort of a satirical piece mocking butler. it was basically peals of laughter. a couple of months later

government asked butler if he would be interested in heading this march to which general butler replied my one hobby is maintaining a democracy. if you get these 5,000 soldiers smelling of anything of fascism, i will get 5,000 more and lick the hell out of you and have a real war. the general reported this exchange to the government and here he is revealing the so-called business plot before a panel of the special house committee on unamerican activities. >> before the professional committee, the highest representation of the american people under subpoena to tell what i knew of activities, which i believe might lead to an attempt to set up a factious dictatorship to form an organization of veterans to use as a club at least to intimidate the government and break down our democratic institution. >> the panel, the media, the american public did not take this exchange as seriously as butler did. no one was ever prosecuted or punished. the allegations turned into one big joke, a scheme by the super rich to topple the u.s. government for their own financial interest, impossible, right? majo

the butler and that was based on a story that i wrote and that story was about a man who was a butler in the white house. for 34 years under eight presidents and so you had two ways to go. i guess if you were making that film you could. focus on the eight presidents who were all white or you could focus on this man. black man, who was a butler and show all love the things that he went through in his life. he saw the civil rights movement, you know. he was there when? when folks were murdered he met martin luther king jr. he met sammy davis jr. he met frank sinatra. he met him. you met michael jackson on these people coming into the white house. lee daniels chose to focus on the butler and on the black man. it wasn't a white savior movie which hollywood had attendance to make those kind of movies. so i think if you get a sensitive movie director, like lee daniels and then you will see that they will focus on who the story is meant to be focused on there was a story that came out movie that came out in 1988, mississippi burning about the three civil rights workers who were killed in mis
